By lunchtime, Minghao, Jun, Jihoon, Soonyoung, and Mingyu were forced to go out by Seungcheol while Seokmin was sleeping. Seokmin was left alone, well not exactly alone, he was left under the care of Seungcheol.
"Seungcheol hyung, where is Mingyu?", Seokmin couldn't help but ask as soon as he woke up and noticed the absence of the man he came to adore. Mingyu had earned a place for himself in his heart in such a short time.
He had gotten attached to Mingyu during his short period with the man he spent in the hospital. He could freely express his thoughts and worries with him without the fear of being judged and laughed at.
He felt a sense of assurance and condolence in Mingyu's presence, something he only felt when he was with his family.
And it scared him,
He trusted Mingyu a lot more than he intended to and that too in a short amount of time. His mind asked him to stay alert while his heart was screaming to trust and love Mingu.
"Gyu I mean Mingyu had to leave because of a small emergency that arrived", said Seungcheol as he was arranging the medicines that were to be given to Seokmin during different times of the day.
"Oh! Is everything alright hyung?", he couldn't help but ask as he thought something might have happened and he felt concerned.
Seungcheol smiled at the concern laced in Seokmin's voice. It almost felt normal because that's how the two were, always concerned for each other even for the smallest things.
"Nothing serious, Min. Just the regular shoots and everything. Don't worry about it. Mingyu will take care of it. Now stop thinking about him and let's fill your stomach with food before you take your medicines", said Seungcheol.
Hearing Seungcheol's words his eyes automatically went towards the door of the room. He 'very' patiently waited for a beautiful man, errm his husband to open the door and emerge from it carrying his lunch.
Getting no response from the only other person inside the room, Seungcheol noticed his kid's gaze towards the door. A small smile threatened to appear on his face as he understood what might be going on inside his brain.
"Joshua won't be coming, Min. He has gone to take care of the discharge and other formalities that have to be completed by him. It will take long, so instead of him I am here to feed you", said Seungcheol.
"Discharge?", he asked.
"Yes, Min. The doctor said that we can shift you back home. He said that it would help you recover better and that there is a high chance that your memories might recover soon if we keep you in a familiar environment instead of keeping you here. The only condition is that you are to take complete bed rest since most of your wounds are still raw."
"Oh, so when will we leave?", asked Seokmin
"Evening around 5 pm. Now stop questioning me and open your mouth. Don't forget you have to take medicines after having your lunch", said Seungcheol as brought the spoon full of food near Seokmin's mouth.
Seokmin tried to stay calm and cool with the fact that it was Seungcheol who was feeding him the food instead of his beautiful husband who he came to admire since he laid his eyes on. He didn't know why, but he wanted Joshua near him, feeding him, instead of Seungcheol.
Now don't get him twisted. He loved his Seungcheol Hyung and had grown to respect him, but weirdly he craved Joshua's presence beside him. He didn't seem to understand why. but his heart bizarrely wanted Joshua to be near him always.
He was different. It was not just his handsome features that drew Seokmin to him but there was something about the brown-eyed boy that fascinated him.
His presence alone helped him calm his mind, fills his heart with the warmth he never felt before and his stomach erupts with butterflies every time Joshua was near him. Every time Joshua looked at him with his brown eyes, he couldn't help but feel drawn towards them.
And the little girl Minji was a female mini version of himself. He doesn't need any DNA test to prove that the little adorable munchkin belonged to him. One look at her and it was all it took for him to know that she was his.
The child was so adorable that she almost gave him a baby fever. Her innocent smile and giggles brought a sense of happiness to his heart and eased all his worries.
The thoughts of Joshua and Minji always managed to bring a smile to his face. He might not remember them but his heart recognizes them solely as his.
His fate and destiny written in the stars might have wanted him to fall in love with Joshua and Minji all over again, that is why they erased his memories so that he could start fresh from square one.

"What the fuck has happened to your phone, Mingyu? Why the hell were you not picking up our calls?"
"What happened to Seokmin Hyung?"
"Is he alright?"
"Hyung? Seokmin Hyung's condition is stable right?"
Panicked and worried voices of Seungkwan, Vernon, Chan and Samuel hit Mingyu as soon as opened the front door of his house. He stood still for a second, completely taken aback by the sudden appearance of the unofficial kids of Seventeen before his mind started processing the questions asked by them.
He sighed as he stepped inside closing the door behind him. He stood there taking in the worry-filled glances of the kids. He knew he should have expected them to follow the path of their crackhead Hyung's.
He was thankful that this group at least had the brains to show up at his house instead of the hospital. He didn't want the media to notice them and write millions of useless articles about his Seokmin.
Those jobless fellows were sniffing around the hospital looking for the news of Seokmin and it made him worried for the safety of his best friend. He is sure that by now the news of the others being in the hospital has been published with each story being completely different from the truth.
"Mingyu, why the hell are you silent? Answer our questions for god sake"
"You are worrying us, Hyung"
Seungkwan and Chan question Mingyu again, wanting to know what exactly has happened to their beloved Hyung. They have tried their best to ignore the various news articles published about their Seokmin Hyung.
They didn't trust the shitty articles to give them accurate information about their Hyung though some articles they have come across did nothing to ease their bubbling worries.
They have tried to call both Joshua and Mingyu, but both of their phones were either busy or switched off. Seungcheol's phone was unreachable and the other Hyungs sounded sad and depressed when they had called them.
Though their elder brothers told them that everything was fine and that there was nothing to worry about, the sadness in their voices was prominent and noticeable. It was like their Hyungs were hiding something from them.
So they thought of coming in person to know what was happening.
Will Mingyu tell them the truth or keep them hidden from what is actually happening?
