But I promise you this
I'll always look out for you
Yeah, that's what I'll do
My heart is yours
It's you that I hold on to

The silence between them felt heavy, but it was a different kind of heavy—one filled with understanding and hope rather than despair. Minho resumed feeding Hana, when Seungmin and Jeongin returned with boxes of food.

"Food Delivery- oh"
Seungmin stopped in his tracks.

Minho's head whipped around, his eyes widening slightly at the interruption.
 "Finally. How long were you two planning to take?"

"Why are you so shocked?"
Hana asked, seeing that they both had seemed to stop in their tracks.

Jeongin, peering over Seungmin's shoulder, blinked in astonishment.
"I've never seen him like this. This day keeps unfolding."

"Seriously, you both look like an old couple,"
Seungmin remarked with a playful smirk, breaking the silence with a hint of amusement.

Minho's cheeks flushed a subtle shade of pink as he glanced back at Hana, who managed a faint, amused smile.

"Not what I was going for, but thanks,"
Minho said, rolling his eyes but clearly embarrassed.
"I was just trying to make sure she was okay, as a 'friend' you know?"

Jeongin chuckled, shaking his head.
 "Well, you're definitely winning the 'dedicated friend' award tonight. Here, we brought dinner."

Seungmin set down the boxes on the nearby table, and they began unpacking the food. The rich aroma of various dishes filled the room, a welcome distraction from the earlier tension.

"Sorry it took so long," Jeongin said as he opened a container.
"There was a bit of a line at the cafeteria."

Minho took a quick glance at the newly-arrived food, then turned his attention back to Hana. "Want me to help you with anything else?"

Hana shook her head gently.
"I'm good for now."

"Alright," Minho said, squeezing her hand gently before standing up.
"I'll just grab a quick bite."

As Seungmin and Jeongin finished their meals, they quickly packed up the leftovers and prepared to head out.

Seungmin stood up, stretching his arms.
"Alright, we're going to head out now. Jeongin, you ready?"

Jeongin nodded, wiping his mouth with a napkin.
"Yep. We'll see you tomorrow, Hana. Get some rest, okay?"

With final goodbyes, Seungmin and Jeongin exited the room, leaving Minho and Hana alone once more. The door clicked shut behind them, and the room fell back into its earlier quiet, now tinged with a renewed sense of hope and comfort.
