Yongbok was in panic while he continued calling for the older, shaking the shoulder to wake him up but it wasn't working.

"Hyunjin? Please wake up. Wake up." He kept on patting and shaking Hyunjin's shoulder yet to no avail. The tear that he tried to fight not to fall surrendered and drip all the way down to his chin, his sniffing sounds comes after a second.

Was this my fault?

I know this is my fault. I stressed him too much and made him rage in anger because of my stubbornness.

You're such an asshole, Yongbok. How could you do this to Hyunjin? Ungrateful.

He tried to erase his last thought, not wanting to fill his head with something atrocious like that and get his mind back in the game, drying his tears away and get himself together. He looped his arms around Hyunjin's underarm and pulled him up. Although it was a bit of struggle, Yongbok managed to lift the older since he's a bit lightweight than most any other guys out there. He was planning to take Hyunjin inside his room, thinking that the older might be more comfortable in there than the couch.

But he recalled, he's not allowed to go in there. He can't break his rule 'cause he don't want to break Hyunjin's trust immediately.

Groaning, Yongbok contemplated where would he bring the knocked out Hyunjin to. After going back and forth of decision making, Yongbok ended up taking Hyunjin to his(Yongbok's) room and carefully brought his body down to the bed. After he's successfully done with it, he sat down next to Hyunjin and brushed off a strand that's sticking on the older's sweaty forehead.

"I'm really sorry if I am being too stubborn that i've been pressing your buttons to the limit. But i really just couldn't help it. Ever since Chan hyung asked me to take care of you, i feel like you're now one of my responsibility too. So, I'm already saying sorry in advance, because I'm not giving up on making you better. I will make you realize that your life matters. It matters to everyone. To your friends. To me. I want to be close to you and be friends with you....before it's too late." He uttered softly, not wanting to wake Hyunjin up while he's in the middle of rambling. He sat up and head out of his room, giving Hyunjin his space while he makes his way to the couch, plopping himself down. A heavy sigh coming out of his throat, eyes closing with exhaustion.

But was fast to be interrupted when a ringtone sound went on. He fumbled on his pockets and slid up his phone out, seeing Chan was calling him. He pressed the green button and placed the phone beside his ear.

"Hey Little dragon, you still awa- GUYS! SHUT UP! I'M TALKING TO YONGBOK!"

"Yongbok? HEY YONGBOKIEE! I MISS YOU!" Jeongin's voice made him laugh. The way he speaks was a bit slurry so he expects that they are drinking before this call.

After that, everyone started yelling for his name, making him laugh and forget his stress even just for a while.

"Gosh, these kids are so loud. I'm so sorry, Yongbok-ah." Chan awkwardly chuckling.

"It's fine. I like them being that loud tho. Tell them I say hi." He giggled.

"Guys! Yongbok said hi!" Chan announced and the boys on the line went wild once more. "I'll find somewhere quieter to talk. Hold on, okay?"

"Go on, hyung."

Yongbok heard footsteps and shifting on the phone together with the noises of Chan's friends fading and later on, it's already calmer and silent. "Aight. I'm good now."

"Nice. What's with the call tho? Not that I'm complaining." Yongbok leaned further on the couch.

"Nothing. Just wanna check up on you."
