It's midnight and Minghao is completely bewildered (on top of crazed anxiety and lack of sleep) when he sees that almost everyone is on stretchers as they're entering the infirmary. He sees majority wearing oxygen masks which indicates how severe the injuries are. The only ones who don't need emergency attention are Soonyoung, Wonwoo, Mingyu, and Hansol.

"Hey, Junnie, let's go and give them some space," Mingyu nervously looks at the omega who's trying to see the others that are severely injured. It only takes one mental snapshot and Junhui sees behind the tall alpha Jihoon's body. He's the only one that lies stiff as a corpse, pale and bloodied body.

"Jihoon-!" The omega's tears are streaming down the moment he sees how severe the injuries are on the shorter male. The sight break his heart, wondering if the revenge was worth it. Was worth the endangerment of the instructor's life.

   Junhui is immediately stopped by both Wonwoo and Mingyu. The Chinese omega watches his alpha walk to the ruckus. "Let me see him!" He cries. Despite his healing wounds and his recovery from catatonia, he can't even walk. The fact makes him feel worse.

"You can't," Wonwoo coaxes. "We need to make sure that he gets proper treatment, there's nothing we can do but hope that everything will go well." Junhui seems to break down even more when he sees everyone's wounds. Both Jeonghan and Seokmin have large stab wounds in their chests while Seungcheol is suffering from broken ribs. Joshua is unconscious, suffering some broken bones and fractures as well as a concussion. Chan is the only one sitting up on the stretchers, managing some broken fingers.

When Minghao looks at Seokmin's unconscious figure, he sucks in a breath, lips trembling. It reminds him of that night when he thought the older died. He examines Seungcheol, Joshua, and Jihoon, a horrifying sight. He looks at Chan who's covered in blood and he wonders if the maknae got careless or he had his fun. Probably both.

"Why does everyone look at me like that?" The maknae wipes away his tears, trying to distract himself from the scene. Minghao goes over to the beta and hugs him, comforting the both of them of the heartbreaking sight. "You better clean yourself up... I have someone's guts all over me." Minghao tries to smile, nodding before pulling away.

When Jeonghan's stretcher rolls by, the omega reaches out and grabs onto Junhui's arm. Tear-filled eyes meet with exhausted ones; the older understands the latter. When he first saw Jihoon, he almost went mad. The older tries to find his voice, the oxygen mask fogging up with every breath he takes, but Minghao gently pries his fingers away. "Don't speak, Hyung. Please rest for us." There's a pleading look from the omega but he relents. Letting out a pained sigh, unable to look at Junhui in that state.

I thought there would be no more tears.

Jeonghan briefly sees Seungkwan who looks peaceful through the ruckus. The oldest omega's eyes finally close, letting go of the stress knowing that the others are okay despite his own condition. The sight of the male passing out only makes Junhui even more panicked. "Hannie-!" He stops when someone stands in front of him, blocking his view of the omega being taken away.

   Minghao stands before Junhui and suddenly picks the latter up. The couple exit the room with the ill one fuming; Wonwoo and Mingyu follow them. Before Mingyu leaves the room, he glances at Hansol who stays by Seungkwan's sleeping figure. Then to Soonyoung who's going to tag along the four of them. He can't bear the sight of Jihoon's state.

   Junhui is sitting in bed, glaring at Minghao with tearful eyes. The sight pains everyone, but it's for the best. Soonyoung sits beside Junhui's feet, a heavy sigh coming from the leader. A comforting hand reaches to rub his leg.
