So much happens in just a week.

Sesoo hallucinating a boy.

Seyeol getting himself into fights.

The twins, Sechan and Hyerim, becoming distant from each other.

And then Chanyeol and Sunmi, stuck. What do they do? What CAN they do? Their answer would be nothing. They didn't know.

————————

"Kyungsoo.. I'm stuck.. I don't know what to do. Sesoo is talking to some boy that I can't see. Seyeol is coming home looking beat up as fuck. Hyerim and Sechan are so distant now I don't even know what happened between them." Chanyeol told Kyungsoo, gripping his hair and stared down at the table.

"They're going through a hard time right now, Chanyeol. Things will get better. I promise."

"You said that before and it never did."

Kyungsoo sighed heavily and pinched the bridge of her nose. She's going through a hard time too. The kids always asking about Sehun and where she was. Jongin not being home because of business trips and now Chanyeol and his family. He isn't sure of what to do, he's scared of losing his family.

"Right now. You just need to talk to them." Kyungsoo added and rubbed Chanyeol's arm gently, trying to calm him down. "And with the Sesoo situation... You need to take her to a psychiatrist..."

Chanyeol sighed. It's too much. His life just seems to get worse and worse each day. Not a single bit of happiness.

After a few hours, Chanyeol left Kyungsoo's house and drove home, hoping to happy faces on his kids faces but he doubted it. He knew there'll be no smiles. No hugs or giggles or jokes. No little kisses on the cheeks from the younger ones. Not anymore.

Everything just... changed.

He parked outside of the house and sighed heavily. The things he wanted, he knew he wouldn't get was coming. Walking up the stairs, he could already hear Sesoo talking loudly to her "friend". Chanyeol placed his hand on the door knob and twisted it slowly and pushed the door open, seeing only Sesoo on the couch. Sehun where are you when I need you right now... he thought and almost cried.

"Hey dad." Sesoo said as she saw Chanyeol standing at the door. "Kyle says hi."

Chanyeol coughed back his tears. "Hey sweetie." He mumbled and closed the front door. "And... Hi Kyle.." He waved to no one.

Sesoo giggled and soon held her hand out to no one and ran up the stairs with no one. Kyle isn't real.

————————————-

During the night, Chanyeol waited for all of his children to be sound asleep. He needed to get Sesoo. He needed to take her to the hospital now. Sesoo's schizophrenia was getting worse. Hallucinating a boy was scaring Chanyeol. She was already hearing things that Chanyeol can't hear. Her motivation dropped. He knew. Scratch that. Kyungsoo knew that Chanyeol needed to get Sesoo to a psychiatrist now.

He waited for hours. He could hear Sesoo talk to herself. He could hear it really well. He was close to falling asleep too.

Once Chanyeol no longer heard Sesoo's voice, he stood up from his bed and quietly walked over to her room, opening the door silently and carefully. He tiptoed to the bed and slowly lifted her up, being careful not to wake the girl. He could already feel the tears threatening to fall from his eyes. He didn't want to do this but he had to. It was for the best. It was for Sesoo.

He quietly made his way to his car and sat Sesoo into the car too. He had prepared everything before hand, since he knew he was definitely doing this now. Not later or next week. Now. He soon started his engine and began driving to the hospital. He cried as he drive, his cheeks and nose becoming red. No cars were around, it felt empty, just like Chanyeol's hope. His hope had just disappeared. Too quickly.

Sesoo whimpered in the car, shivering and her teeth chattering a little. Chanyeol looked over and quickly turned the heater on. He didn't want Sesoo to wake up. He didn't want her to know. If she knew, she'd scream, she'd beg to go home, she'd try prove to Chanyeol that Kyle is real and that Kyle is sitting right beside her.

Once he made to the hospital, the nurses took her to the psychiatric ward and Chanyeol had to leave...

5 weeks later....

"Yah... Have you seen Sesoo lately?" Julia asked, looking at Yoongi and Haesoo, munching on her pistachio ice cream that had crushed pistachios sprinkled on top. "She's been gone for 5 - 6 weeks... I'm worried..."

"Why don't you ask Mr. Park? He's her dad after all." Yoongi added and tilted his head.

"But like.. then wouldn't that be a little nosey?" Haesoo asked. Julia shook her head.

"We're her friends, why would it be nosey?"

"True." 

Julia, Haesoo and Yoongi soon made their way to Chanyeol's office. They knocked twice before opening the door to see Chanyeol looking down at what seemed to be hospital letters. "How can I help you girls and boy?" Chanyeol mumbled and soon hid the sheets.

"E-Erm... We were wondering where Sesoo is.." Haesoo asked and fiddled with her hands, nervously.

"She's... Somewhere."

Julia facepalmed herself and looked at Chanyeol.

"Sir. We're her friends, why can't we know?"

"Because I am not allowed to say." Chanyeol growled quietly.

Julia was going to lose her temper but Yoongi calmed her down. She had never felt so worried in her whole life. She just wanted to know where her best friend had disappeared to. Her nerves were getting to her. She couldn't just drop Sesoo just like that. It'd mean she was a fake ass friend, not caring.

Chanyeol didn't explain where she went but he told them a little information before excusing the girls and boy out.

Haesoo sighed and looked down. Julia groaned, annoyed and Yoongi had no emotion whatsoever.
