"Ja-Jay" Heeseung says as he tries to help jay with walking towards the couch. Jay is visibly tired and just a little bit tipsy, well Heeseung can really smell that. He drops themselves on the couch and Jay immediately wraps his arms around Heeseung to embrace him in a hug he really missed. "Ow you big baby, what the heck are you doing here...?"

"N-needed some space... don't ask me how i came here b-because i actually dont know... i missed you so much..." Jay pouts and looks up at Heeseung, making the older get very worried. He knows his best friend for so long but has never seen him like this. A smaller face, sadness, nervousness, tiredness an even anger are written all over in his eyes and that scares him.

"Listen carefully and please answer all these questions honestly. We, i, Jake, Sunghoon, even your parents and that's special, Ni-ki, Sunoo, your fans and Jungwon... the kids from the town... they're all worried about you and you've been lying the whole time, living behind a wall that's breaking you, you've been acting like a robot that's being controlled by your company, i know they threaten you and Jungwon, you're not allowed to speak a word about him or else something bad will happen, you're lying about being healthy, the diet is bad for you, you dont sleep long, they overwork you, you look sad and tired, if you're continuing like this then worse thing will happen... am i right about everything?? do they threaten you and Jungwon?? Do you miss him?? Do you need help??" And with these words Jay starts to finally cry all of tears out, tears that have been building up since the very beginning. Heeseung gulps and pats Jay's back. "Take your time..."

"You're s-so right... They d-do... I miss h-him so much, it's not even f-funny anymore... I d-do but im n-not allowed to a-ask for help... they'll threaten y-you too and i dont want y-you to get in danger... that's why i-im a robot... i do what they s-say so that you a-all stay safe..."

"But you're destroying yourself with it...?"

"I choose f-for this life s-so yeah..."

"I know but... i'll be right back" Heeseung gets up and walks over to his room, knocking on the door and it immediately opens up. It reveals an Jungwon who's been clearly listening to them because the tears a streaming down. "Go to him..."

Jungwon doesn't hesitate and walks past Heeseung towards Jay who sits on the couch. He goes over to the other side and sits next to Jay, the older not realising it's actually Jungwon. He wraps his arms around Jungwon and immediately feels that it's not Heeseung. He looks up and sees the love of his life right in front of him and he doesn't really believe that. His eyes widen and he slowly cups Jungwon's face, Jungwon softly laying his hands on top of Jay's.

"J-jungwon...?"

"H-hi baby..."

"Ow m-my" Jay finally smiles genuinely after a long time and leans in to give Jungwon the long awaited kiss. Their lips melt on each other and it's like as if they're back to some months ago. They've both waited so long to be in each other's presence and they both didn't see it coming this soon. After some time they back away and look at each other. "W-what are you doing here...??"

"Saving y-you... tada"

"That's t-too risky..."

"I know b-but what you're doing i-is risky too, please let us help y-you... i dont care im being threatened, i-i need to help you again... this is going t-too far"

"You dont know w-what they're capable of doing... w-watch out"

"At this p-point i dont care... i need you back with me, happy and healthy, thats m-my goal and i dont care what path i'll get, i'll let you e-escape..." Jungwon says and Jay hugs him tightly, being scared of what will happen but he trusts Jungwon.
