"Doctor." A voice called out as I walked past the holding cells, heading out of the room. I turn around and walk back to see who it was, and find Sehun looking up at me. "What is it?" I ask, unintentionally stern. "Can I see Baekhyun?" He asks, a look of worry in his eyes. "Why?" I ask. Given what happened with Suho, I'm cautious about how Baekhyun will handle seeing any of them again. "I heard him crying. I just want to make sure he's okay, but I can't do that from here because he isn't talking. He won't even talk to Chanyeol." "Maybe you could tell me more about that first." I suggest. I need to know what happened when I interviewed the two earlier, however I can't ask either of them about it. "Fine, but not here. The others can hear." I nod at him and tell the guards to take him into the interview room.

"So, Sehun, how about you start by telling me about the relationship between Suho and Baekhyun?" "They have a normal friendship, just like the rest of us. However Suho likes to torment Baek, and he tends to use Chanyeol as a way to do it." "What do you mean?" "Suho has, in the past, hurt Chanyeol and made Baekhyun watch, either because he was trying to force Baekhyun to do something or simply because he was bored." "Did he do this with all of you?" "Not really. He tried it with Tao and Kai, however Kris and Kyungsoo used to stand up for them. Chanyeol would stand up for Baek, too, but for some reason Suho didn't care about him. Oh, and he also does it to Luhan, but he tends to use animals against him." "Animals?" "Yes, Luhan loves animals, and hates when they get hurt. We usually stop Suho from doing that because it puts Luhan off for weeks." "I see. Does Suho abuse all of you?" "It's not really abuse, doctor. Things work differently with us than they do with you." "You said he torments some of you for fun. That counts as abuse, don't you think?" "Suho isn't abusive. There are others like us, Doctor, and that's where Suho got his characteristics from. He was raised to be cruel, but trust me, he's nowhere near as bad as the others. They're merciless and sadistic. Their torment leaves nightmares, and...scars." Sehun shifts his neck uncomfortable as he says this last part. "Is that where you got your scar from, Sehun?" Sehun sighs, "Yes, but I don't want to talk about it." "Very well. Would you like to see Baekhyun now?" Sehun chuckles a bit, "I would, thank you."

"Baek!" Sehun calls out as Baekhyun enters the room. "Sehunnie!" Baek gleefully replies. He seems to have bounced back from his experience earlier quite quickly. "How are you feeling?" Sehun asks him, not hiding the concern in his voice. Baekhyun shakes his head, laughing, "Agh, I'm fine, stop worrying, kiddo." "Hey, I'm not a kid anymore!" "You're still younger than me." Baekhyun teases. "Okay, old lady." "Hey! That's old man to you!" "Old laaaaadyyyyy." Sehun sings, irritating Baekhyun. "Haven't you heard of respecting your elders?!" "I don't know of any elders who can't shower alone." "I'll have you know that I can shower alone, I just prefer not to." Baekhyun huffs. "Not what you said when you made me shower with you." "It was dark, okay!" "Your ability is light. You could literally light the room up if you wanted to." Sehun deadpans. "Well maybe I didn't want to." Sehun chuckles at Baekhyun. I don't think he realises how widely he's smiling right now. I watch the two of them tease each other for what feels like hours. They have an almost symbiotic relationship. One can use itself to make the other feel better. And that's what Sehun did. He heard Baekhyun was in pain, and felt he had to make him feel better. It's quite touching to watch.
"Doctor, can we go now? I'm tired." Baekhyun yawns. "Are you tired of me already?" Sehun pretends to gasp. "I'm always tired of you." Baekhyun laughs.
With that, I get up and signal the guards to collect the sleepy boys.
