Now that I have your attention,
I hope you enjoy your two-week
stay with the past! I don't really
care if you spoil your future, just
try not to die. 😉 Good luck!

Huh, interesting. Young Jeongin asked, "Guys, you got those notifications too, right? I'm not crazy?" His voice trembled. If I wasn't so used to crazy, I might be scared too.

"Y-yeah. I think we all got them." Young(er)
Chan said, his voice a little shaky. Maybe the wiseness that comes with old age hasn't quite kicked in yet for him. Soon.

Above me, on the couch, Jisung and Changbin are exchanging words. Then Changbin pulls him closer, in a way that can only be seen as comforting. I furrow my brows in worry, is Jisung okay?

I tighten my grip on the two maknaes, pulling them even closer. Jeongin looks a little surprised—understandably so, I'm not one for skin-ship—but indulges me and scoots closer. I think he noticed the two RACHA members as well. Felix, on the other hand, doesn't even bat an eye. He just drags himself impossibly closer, basically on top of me at this point.

"T-they said we were going t-to die." Young Han whispered, face pale. His hands are shaking and he looks so goddamn scared. He starts hyperventilating, it's quiet and shallow, like he's trying to suppress it. I don't doubt he is, with technical strangers around. But that's not the right way, he should be worrying less about his company and more about getting a healthy breathing pattern. Not a non-existant one. Tears slowly build in his eyes, some falling with all this stress he's putting his body through.

Eventually, full on tears cascade down his squirrel-like cheeks. Soon there's too many on his face that they start dripping from his chin onto his collarbone and shirt. As sobs rack through his body, he shakes so much he looks like a shivering penguin.

It reminds me of his future self, it worries me that he's just as scared and panicked. Don't worry. He has Bin.

I refrain the urge to go and comfort him, his hyungs got it. Frustratingly, Young Hyunjin looked like he wants nothing to do with with him. He averted his eyes and faced his body away. He doesn't look uncomfortable per se, but rather... annoyed? Irritated? It absolutely vexes me.

Young Chan is overly fretting about him, too worried about his first kid than he really should be. He was saying a surplus amount too much of sweet nothings, almost adding to the situation. He was a little too touchy, people want reassurance, but too much may panics them further. I hear it's something about to much contact, it makes the person feel antsy and unsafe. Maybe that's what we're here to do, I ponder, to help them out with the little things. Little things go a long way.
