The leader stormed upstairs, Those words made him furious. His blood was boiling but because of the words Yuta used, accusing him what he would try, in his eyes.
He knew he could not know, but still it made him really mad. He wanted to be alone. To sleep. To think. But right then something came to his mind: The girl was sleeping in his room. He stopped in his tracks, sighing deep, thinking what he should do now.
"Hyung?" A confused voice was heard. The leader flinched and turned around to the voice, seeing the girls twin. "What are you doing there?" "I-I... I wanted-" "you wanted to look after Soul?" He hesitated. "Y-Yeah..."
"She is sleeping right now. CJ Hyung said that she doesn't feel well." "Who?" The leader asked confused. "Ahh... just a friend of us who brought her home." "Aha..." he answered, looking to the floor.
"But if you want, you can check on her yourself if you want." The twin said smiling lightly. The leader looked up at him. "A-Ahh... no... It's fine...When she doesn-" "Hyung, you look after us too.... It's fine! Just... don't wake her...." He interrupted his leader with a smile.
Sungchan was touched that the leader was caring for his sister and tried to be nice to her even tho he seemed to not be comfortable with her, but at least he was finally trying. He knew that the leader possibly had said no if his cousin would had stayed home that weekend to take care of the girl while he was with them.
"Uhm.. hyung?" He asked again, his smile fading. "Hmm?" "There is something else... please... don't touch her..." the leader looked at him confused.
"Why should I do that? You think I want to kill her?" Sungchan shook his head, before he looked around, then he went towards his leader, looking at him worried.
"I know... that you are not comfortable when she is around you, especially this weekend when you actually want to go on that mission, but you try and I appreciate what you are doing for me, but actually...." he checked if someone was around them, to make sure no one heard him.
"CJ hyung... told me that someone harrassed Soul when he brought her home... I.... don't want her to get scared again, especially when it wouldn't be your fault for this. I don't want hyung to freak out, and I don't want him to attack you again. I don't want her to distance herself again, when she is scared because she always does..." the leader looked at his member blankly and surprised.
"Something like this happened to her once at work already, a few years ago, after hyung disappeared. A customer was a bit rough with her. I saw her scared many times, but that was another level. I don't want her to be in that state again nor hyung fighting with you because he doesn't know about this" the leader had to blink a few times, proceeding that new information he now found out about the girl, before he simply nodded.
He felt the urge to ask more about it, finding out more about the girl, but he thought what it would look like if he would ask about that now, with the things Yuta just said about the way he treated her. He was scared her twin might think he would use this against her, so he swallowed down the limp in his throat that was building up while he forbid himself to bubble out what was on his mind.
"Hey, Sungchan!" He said, when the boy turned around to leave again and found back his voice. "Yeah?" "What.... are you and Shotaro going to do now?" "Uhmm... we wanted to play some games in the garden... why?" "Would you mind... if I would rest in your room after I looked after her?"
"No, hyung! Of course you can! I am sure hyung won't mind either. You can even lock the door if you wanna be alone."
"Thank you, Sungchan!" He smiled again. "No, hyung! I have to thank you!" Before the leader could ask more questions, Sungchan was already gone.

"Ouuu? W-Where... am I?" The girl asked herself when she woke up. "This is not Doyoung oppas room..." the girl stood up, feeling dizzy.
She hold herself on the table next to the bed, holding her head. When she got her balance back, she continued her way to the door, a bit worried.
But her worry faded away, when she opened the door, seeing the all too familiar corridor and the door where she usually sleeped in when she spends days there.
She was looking into the room on the opposite, but no one was there. Only now she realised in who's room she was sleeping.
She arrived at the stairs, when someone behind her called her name. "Soul?" She flinched and turned around. "Ou.... I am sorry, I didn't wanted to scare you." "I-It's okay, oppa... I just... didn't expected you to be there."
"Are you feeling better?" He asked. "Hmm?" "You are sick, remember?" He asked concerned. "Ah! Ani! Oppa, I am fine! I was fine before too." She smiled. "But you still look pale" he came to her, feeling her head. "And you still feel very hot. You should go back and rest a bit more."
"Oppa, it's fine! I just wanted to say hello to the oth-ahh!" She turned around while talking and out of dizzyness she lost balance and slipped from the stair.
The boy instinctivly grabbed her hand, pulling her back with strengh, so she was pushed against his body. But he used so much strengh, that he fell backwards and both were landing on the floor, the girl on top of the boy.
She was so shocked and embarressed when she realized in what position they were. Nearly kissing.
"Oh, ah... o-oppa, I-I am sorry!" She said. "A-Ani... it was m-my f-fault" he stuttered back. "Hey, Jen- woah...." his friend came out of the room too, seeing the two on the floor.
"What the fuck?" He asked. The girl immediatly stood up, feeling dizzy again, that she was holding her head again, and trying to hold herself on her weak legs.
"Jeno, did you-" he looked at the girl. "Soul? Are you okay?" He asked now, worried. "H-huhh?" She looked up at him. "Woah... you really don't look good. You should rest!"
"A-Ani, I just wanted to-" "Soul. Your friends told you to go home because you are sick. Sungchan said that too. The hyungs said that too. And now Renjun AND me, independently from each other. Just go rest! We're worried about your health too, you know?" Jeno said.
"You know what? We'll go downstairs together and I make you a tea, while you rest on the couch. Some of the hyungs might preparing lunch already. And before you fall, Jeno could carry you down. We are in our hideout anyways, so Chenle won't disturb you and Haechan is playing ball with the hyungs. I am sure if we tell them to be quiet so you can rest and sleep a bit more, they will do so.." He smiled at the girl.
Jeno was looking at his friend while he was talking before he looked back at the girl. Then he stepped infronf of her, going into his knees. "Jump up!" He said. "A-Ani... I can-" "Soul, he is one of our strongest members. He even could carry around Lucas hyung!"
"Yahhh! Renjun... don't exaggerate." He said. The girl was unsure but jumped on his back. Jeno lifted her up. "Ou? What is your weight, Soul, you are so light!" He said. "Jeno! You never ask a girl a question like that! That's rude...." Renjun scolded him.
"Around... 42 kilos?" She answered, whispering. "What?!" The two answered shocked. "You really need to gain weight! This is too light!" Renjun now said too.
"Didn't you just said, you never should asks questions like that to a girl? That includes such comments..." he said. "Yah! But that-" Renjun wanted to fire back, but the girl interrupted them.
"What are you two, an old married couple?" She asked and the two boys were shocked, but then smiled at her comment.
