When the next morning came, Seungcheol still wasn't home, which got most of the boys confused and concerned. He was the one who usually woke up early to make everyone breakfast and to get everyone ready for school. Everyone was almost late for school unless Jeonghan didn't wake up everyone in replace for Seungcheol. 

"Where the heck is Seungcheol, he hasn't been home since last night?" Jihoon asks, looking at everyone concerned and a bit angry. 

"Why do you care, let's just go to school." Mingyu replies, already walking to the front door to put his shoes on so he could leave the house. 

"Because Soonyoung won't get out of bed" Jihoon says to himself, turning around and walking back upstairs to go back into his bedroom. He knocked on the door a couple times before poking his head into his bedroom. He didn't want to scare Soonyoung by suddenly walking inside. "You up Soonyoung?" Jihoon asks in a gentle voice.

Jihoon could see the silhouette of Soonyoung moving from underneath the covers. "Seems like someone's up" Jihoon says in a smile, sitting down on Soonyoung's bed and patting Soonyoung from over the covers. He didn't want to suddenly lift the covers off of Soonyoung to scare him. 

"Do you want me to make you something to eat, I can make you whatever you want, I can make your favourite food. What's your favourite food, what would you like?" Jihoon asks in a concerned tone. 

"N-NO" Soonyoung stutters in an instant. "N-No food, I don't want to eat, please, please don't force me to eat." Soonyoung says, sounding scared, his voice was shaking by each word. 

"Of course, no I won't force you to eat if you don't want to eat. Aren't you hungry though, you didn't have lunch or dinner yesterday?" Jihoon asks in concern. 

"Y-Yes I'm serious Jihoon...p-p-please...just...please don't..make me eat anything." Soonyoung says, the covers still over his whole body so Jihoon couldn't see him. 

"Okay...do you want me to stay here with you? I don't mind missing a day of school." 

"P...Please stay with me..." Soonyoung says, only bringing his hand out from underneath the covers, holding it out for Jihoon to put his hand inside. Jihoon saw that and held Soonyoung's hand tightly. He could see the marks around Soonyoung's fingers like scabs. He could tell Soonyoung was picking at his skin so much that it was now piercing his skin. 

"Soonyoung...all those marks on your body...did that Minseo person do that to you?" 

Soonyoung's grip became tighter when Jihoon mentioned Minseo and he started to slightly shake. "L-Let's not talk about it...please Jihoon" Soonyoung says, sounding like he was on the verge of tears. 

"Okay...whatever you say, I won't force you to talk, as long as you're okay that's all I care about." Jihoon says in a comforting tone, making sure Soonyoung felt safe.

He was also confused about what Minseo had done to Soonyoung. When he managed to get Soonyoung fully naked to take a shower yesterday (With a lot of struggle because Soonyoung didn't want to show his body) Jihoon saw bruises, hickies, cuts, burns all over Soonyoung's body. From his neck all the way down to his feet. 

There were even imprints on Soonyoung's neck as signs of choking. The thing that stood out to Jihoon the most was the cuts on Soonyoung's forearms. They weren't normal cuts, they were cuts to make words. Words like 'fat' and 'worthless' like the words were cut into his arms for him to look at all the time.
