Chapter 3

When the alarm clock rang, all three felt like they had just fallen asleep.

None of them had slept well. The fear had been far too present, even in their sleep.

Actually, the last six months had gone well with their manager. He had been satisfied with their work and the relationship had been almost friendly.

But none of them had forgotten that he had behaved like an absolute asshole in December and especially Jisung was afraid that it would be like this again.

In addition, he had apparently slept on his injured arm, which had caused him to hurt and pounding insanely.

Groaning, he sat up.

Relieved, he remembered that he had taken the can with the painkillers into the bedroom and swallowed some directly.

Just when he wanted to get up to get something to get something to drink, Chan pulled him to himself. "Good morning, little one..," he murmured and buried his face on Jisung's shoulder.

Involuntarily, Jisung had to smile. "You haven't called me that in a long time," he murmured, gently lifted Chan's chin and kissed him.

"I love you so much..." Chan murmured, snuggled up to Jisung and took a deep breath. He expected Jisung to push him away at any moment, but instead the younger one wrapped his arms around him.

"But you know that we have to get up soon," Jisung asked at some point.

"Yes, I know.. I just really need the safeness that you are with me..." Chan murmured and pressed his lips on the younger one's neck.

Next to them, Changbin grumbled a little and then turned to them yawning. "Why are we already awake?"

"Because we have to go straight to the label...," Chan murmured.

"Then maybe we should really get up," said Changbin and still sounded upset.

"Binnie... Baby.. Please don't be mad at me..." Chan murmured and attracted the younger one.

"Just a little.. maybe it will pass when I eat breakfast," said Changbin and sat up yawning.

Jisung broke away from Chan and also sat up. "I just want a coffee and shower. I don't think I'll get anything down before the meeting..."

"I just want to take a shower," Chan murmured and once again felt incredibly guilty. He tried not to let it be noticed and stood up.

On the way to the bathroom, tears ran down his face, but he wiped them away angrily.

Jisung and Changbin looked after him and then looked at each other helplessly for a moment.

"Go after him, baby. He needs our closeness and the certainty that we won't leave him... I'll make food and coffee," said Changbin, kissed Jisung gently and then stood up.

Smiling, Jisung got up and made his way to the bathroom. He understood why Changbin was still a bit mad at Chan. And yet he loved him so much that he wanted to make sure he was fine.

Chan was already in the shower when Jisung came into the bathroom.

As quietly and as quickly as possible, he undressed, which was not so easy with his injured arm and stepped into the shower.

Just to determine that Changbin had been right. Chan stood leaning against the wall and cried.

"Sugar...," Jisung muttered, went to him and wrapped his arms around him.

Chan's chest shook because he suppressed his sobs and his hands trembled.

"I-I don't w-want to lose y-you," Chan sobbed and pressed Jisung to himself.
