Solo Panicking

WAIT-

We're Back!! I was high key burning myself out with reediting so making a new chapter is my way of healing.

You're lying against the wall on the floor as another round of camera clicks is heard. You groan, cursing the fact that you didn't buy black out curtains when you had the chance. The surprisingly loud voices of the paparazzi must've caught another glimpse of Yukio. Who was very much enjoying the attention and zipping by the window, making the photographers try (keyword try) to successfully get a picture of the ice pixie.

Ignis is lying down beside you but has a grumpy face, angry that his nap was interrupted by the paparazzi. He was also mad at you for being the reason that the paparazzi was there. The two of you are having a sort of staring contest while lying on the ground.

Then, with an exaggerated snort, Ignis rolls over, deliberately turning his back on you. "That bastard," you mutter under your breath, tone more resigned than angry. "You know damn well I didn't sign up for this hunter BS. If anyone's to blame it's Jinwoo for dragging me into it." Your words have no heat and only Yukio's laughter is the 'response' to them. Ignis responds with a snore of all things.

'Well if it weren't for Jinwoo I wouldn't have gotten the egg that became Ignis.' Your heart aches a bit at the memory of the egg that popped out a small baby dragon. The same one who was giving you attitude.

... No reaction, Ignis is asleep. You scoff and give up, lying on the floor sounds like a great plan. You were actually about to fall asleep yourself but was startled out of it when a pounding at the door, not your door but the one across the hallway, aka the Sung's door.

A quick glance at Ignis shows him to still be asleep. Rude. There is a sound of someone crying almost(??), then a loud slam of a door. "Huh– wait, don't tell me."

You attempted to army crawl to the door but quickly gave up and crawled on your hands and knees past the window and was able to get to the door and open it to find Jin-Ho openly sobbing against the door that was slammed against him.

You were going to regret this weren't you?

Yup

"Jin-Ho? What are you ack–" you begin to ask, but before you can finish, the boy throws himself at you. His sudden embrace knocks the two of you to the ground back into your apartment. The impact knocks the air out of you and you can only manage a wheeze before the sound of Jin-Ho's crying intensifies. He sobs about his father kicking him out, about Jinwoo slamming the door in his face, and even about you, about the fact that you opened the door for him.

'Yup regret this already.' you pat his back, one for him to get off, two for comfort, three for him to get off.

After what feels like an eternity, Jin-Ho finally gets off, and you are able to take a breath and breathe. You are able to guide him properly inside and a small spell creates curtains to block any movement being seen from the outside. A quick glance at Ignis shows him to still be asleep and another at Yukio who's now pouting at the magic curtains blocking her from her entertainment.

Jin-Ho's face is now puffy and eyes are swollen shut, you offer him some water or tea. He shakes his head but asks where the bathroom is. After he gets up and leaves with the simple directions of where the bathroom is you get your phone out.

You scroll to Jinwoo's name and the contact picture is different, its now his awkward face from being caught by the paparazzi. Pressing the call button you hold the phone up to your ear and after the first ring Jinwoo picks up.

"Y/N hello–" Jinwoo starts but is interrupted by you,

"Why did you slam the door on Jin-Ho?" you interrogate immediately,
