"You're telling me this now?" Seungcheol crossed his hands against his chest as the younger ones spilled the entire story to him.

"Oh please hyung, we tried to stop you a lot." Wonwoo scrunched his nose.

"What would Joshua hyung be thinking about Seokmin?" Woozi raised his concern as the Seokmin remained silent.

"I saw him crying and couldn't stop myself." Seungcheol approached Seokmin and cupped his cheeks, "Are you mad at me?"

Seokmin just looked down and didn't utter a single word.

"We'll go to Serenity HQ and apologize tonight." Seungcheol declared, "I mean I'll apologize to Joshua and you can clear things up with him."

Seokmin looked up at the older as he embraced him.

No matter how much they fought, they knew how to clear things up.

Meanwhile, in Serenity HQ, a silent breakfast was going on. Jeonghan looked at Mingyu and Hoshi, gesturing them to note Joshua's behaviour as he focused on his food.

"Shua." Jeonghan called.

"Hmm?" Joshua kept on concentrating on his meal.

"Are you- fine?"

"I'm not." Joshua mumbled as he put down his chopsticks, "Thankyou for picking up this topic because I didn't know how to apologize to you."

"You don't have to." Jeonghan held his hand, "You were going through a lot, alone. I understand okay? I was talking about Seokmin."

"Seokmin?" Joshua chuckled bitterly, "Isn't it obvious that everything ended yesterday? He really had to say twisted things to Seungcheol like that?"

"Shua! You know he couldn't do something like that." Jeonghan explained.

"Right." Hoshi added, "Seokmin looked worried for you too. I don't think he's at fault."

"No seriously, I think there's a misunderstanding." Mingyu elaborated, "Seungcheol hyung must have heard some crumbs or whatever and reacted like that."

"Exactly." Jeonghan paused, "Why don't you just talk to him? If he really wants to end everything then at least you both should have a final talk? Go meet him tonight."

"But we have dinner with the mortals tonight." Hoshi informed.

"Don't worry, I'll go after dinner." Joshua chuckled, "You're right, conversation is the key."

"I need to use the restroom." Seungkwan mumbled as the mortals were seated in the dining hall of Serenity HQ for a lavishing dinner, "Can someone accompany me? Jeonghan hyung?"

"Don't worry, I'll take you." Mingyu volunteered.

"But Seungkwan, you've been here many times." Hoshi asked, "You still don't know about the restroom?"
