As the next day came, Soonyoung was still in his bed, not leaving with Jihoon trying to persuade him to get out of his bed.

"Soonyoung, you have to get out of this bed at one point. Come on, please I don't want you wetting the bed again...it took me forever to find another bed sheet for you." Jihoon says, looking at Soonyoung in concern as he continued to hide himself from underneath the covers. 

"No...can't leave...." Soonyoung mumbles from underneath the covers, trying to hide himself away from Jihoon and everyone else who would walk into their room unexpectedly. 

Jihoon glanced at the  bowl of instant ramen he had made for Soonyoung earlier which was still untouched. "Soonyoung, you haven't had a proper meal in days...please, you have to eat something." Jihoon begs, lightly tugging on Soonyoung's bed sheets in desperation but Soonyoung continued to stay glued underneath his covers. 

Jihoon sighed lightly, figuring he wouldn't be able to get Soonyoung out from underneath his covers anytime soon, he then took the ramen which had now turned cold and brought it downstairs in the kitchen where he saw Seokmin, having his head in the fridge. 

As Seokmin heard someone enter the kitchen, he looked back at Jihoon while shutting the fridge door. "You gonna eat that?" Seokmin questions, looking at the bowl of untouched ramen Jihoon had in his hands. 

"No, but it's cold." 

"Don't care" Seokmin replies, grabbing the bowl from Jihoon's hands as he started to eat it. He glanced up at Jihoon while downing the ramen and looked at Jihoon with one eyebrow raised. He could tell something was wrong with Jihoon, it was obvious just by the expression on his face. "What's wrong?" Seokmin questions after swallowing what he had in his mouth. 

Jihoon let out a faint sigh, putting his hands into his pants pockets while starting to say "it's Soonyoung..."

"Oh, has he not left his room yet?" Seokmin questions and Jihoon nodded meaning Seokmin was right.

"He hasn't moved from that bed ever since I forced him to take a shower. I know he's scared, I know he's really frightened, but I seriously don't know what to do. He won't eat, he won't sleep, he won't even get out of bed to go to the toilet!" Jihoon says, sounding like he was getting stressed just talking about it. 

Seokmin looked at Jihoon in slight disgust as he confirms "so he does his business...in his bed?" 

"Yeah. but it's not his fault, he's just really scared. He doesn't want to leave our bedroom. He can barley even look at me because he's scared of what I'll think of him when I look at him for some reason. It confuses me, but I don't know what to do." Jihoon says in sadness, now picking at his fingers. 

"It sounds like he's mental, dude." Seokmin says, bringing the ramen bowl up to his mouth as he now started to drink the broth from it. 

Jihoon slightly glared at Seokmin before looking down at his feet. It's not like he could deny what Seokmin said, with how Soonyoung had been acting lately. "Maybe you should talk to Seungcheol about it." Seokmin suggests. 

"True, I should...I heard he's sick though because he hasn't left his bed either?" Jihoon questions but Seokmin shrugged his shoulders. 

"What's up with everyone not leaving their bed, can I not leave my bed and would everyone just be okay with that?" Seokmin asks before leaving the kitchen with the bowl still in his hands. 

Jihoon watched Seokmin walk out of the kitchen before leaving himself to head upstairs and knocked on Seungcheol's bedroom door. 

Jihoon didn't wait for a reply, but opened the door instantly. When he opened the door, he saw Seungcheol still laying in his bed with Chan sitting beside the bed, holding onto Seungcheol's hand. 

"Is he...okay?" Jihoon asks as he walked into the room. He looked around the room, seeing that it was pitch dark. The blinds were closed and the lights were off "and why is it so dark in here?" 

"He doesn't want the lights on...he's fine, just tired. What do you want?" Chan asks, looking at Jihoon slightly annoyed. 

Jihoon could tell Chan was annoyed with his presence, but it wasn't like he liked Chan either so he didn't take it to heart. "I wanted to talk to Seungcheol about Soonyoung. Soonyoung's been acting weird and I don't know what to do." Jihoon explains, now walking up beside Chan and looking at Seungcheol who looked like he was just blankly staring at the wall. 

"He doesn't want to talk to you" Chan answers for Seungcheol. 

"Seungcheol has a voice for himself, he can answer me." 

"If Seungcheol doesn't want to talk to me, then he doesn't want to talk to you. He's not in the mood to talk to anyone right now so leave him alone." Chan glares, looking up at Jihoon. 

Jihoon rolled his eyes hearing Chan's response, then turned around and left their bedroom, closing the door behind him on his way out. 

Meanwhile with Joshua, he was in his bedroom with Jeonghan and they were both sitting on Jeonghan's bed. "So, where do you get this 'religious' superiority from?" Jeonghan questions in a smile, looking at Joshua amused. He wanted to know more about Joshua. He noticed that Joshua knows a lot about him, he even knows his past, but he knows nothing about Joshua. Joshua was like a mystery. 

"Probably from my dad" Joshua replies in a smile, just thinking about his father brought back happy memories for him. 

"Your father?" Jeonghan replies, seeing Joshua's smile on his face. "So you loved your father, huh?" Jeonghan figured, seeing how much Joshua's face lit up just talking about him. 

"Yeah, my dad's my role model. I want to be exactly like him when I grow up. Someone who's strong, confident, manly, he's perfect! I know God makes everyone different because of Eve, but I think God made my dad in perfection." Joshua replies, chuckling before looking down into his lap and explaining "when I was little, I use to think my dad was an angel who was in disguise as a human." 

Jeonghan couldn't help but smile, hearing how much Joshua admired his father, he thought it was cute. "What about your mom?" 

"My mom?" Joshua asks, looking at Jeonghan confused on why he was asking so many questions. 

Jeonghan noticed the look Joshua was giving him and defended himself, "what? I just want to know your life and stuff. You know everything about me, but I know nothing about you." 

Joshua faintly smirked before answering Jeonghan's question "I love my mom too...both my parents are like angels sent from heaven to watch over me and raise me in the right direction." Joshua says, smiling as he thought about his mother as well. 

"It didn't seem like you thought that way when we saw her...you know, you made us run away and stuff." Jeonghan replies, looking at Joshua confused. 

"Oh, her...that wasn't my mother." 

"She...wasn't?" Jeonghan questions, now getting totally confused. 

Joshua put on a big smile before explaining "let's change the subject."
