Two months later (after promoting in China and everyone is back in Korea)

William POV (Midnight)

I must admit that it felt really good to be back at the dorms. Sure the hotel we had stayed at in China was nice, but I liked our dorms more. It was our second day being back and we fell into our patterns again. Well, I couldn't. Normally on lazy afternoons like the one we were currently having, Hunter and I would play basketball. Sometimes Keith would join us, but he was out somewhere with Exo K. I thought back over the last couple of months as I went to the room Hunter and Keith shared. I was really worried about Hunter. He had become so quiet and was it was almost like he just became a shell of himself. During the entire time, he had Sehun's trademarked poker face. He never once showed emotion after that night. It didn't help that Chen basically ignored him and acted like he wasn't even there. I wondered what had ever happened between them. Even though I had confronted Hunter somewhat that night, I still had no idea what had happened. I knew Keith knew, but I didn't think I wanted to. I didn't want more of a reason to put Chen through a wall. 

I made it to Hunter and Keith's room and knocked on the door. I waited for an answer, but after probably almost two minutes, there wasn't one. I knocked again and waited for an answer again. This was making me a bit worried. When no answer came this time, I just opened the door. I glanced around the room, only to find it empty. But something was coming from the bathroom. Yes, each room in our dorm had its own bathroom. I wanted to thank whoever came up with that idea. I slowly made my way to the bathroom. Something didn't feel right. I pushed the door open to see water flooding onto the floor. Why did it have a reddish tint? My eyes followed the trail of red up to the bath tub. I flipped. 

"Hunter!" I screamed. 

I quickly went over, shut off the water, and grabbed a nearby towel. I grabbed his wrists and pressed the towel against it. A faint groan from him told me he was at least alive. I tried to think about who was in the dorm. Was anyone else here? Lynn, Rose, Lucy, and Keith were out with their boyfriends. Rayne was with Niel. But where was Aaron? My eyes widened. Aaron had never left!

"AARON!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. 

While I was waiting on him to get there, I managed to pull Hunter out of the tub and onto the floor. I glanced up to see if Aaron was coming at all? What the heck was taking him so long? My eyebrows pulled together as I gathered Hunter in my arms and brought him out of the room. I was half way downstairs when Aaron came running up to me. 

"Go get the car ready!" I yelled at him before he had a chance to talk. 

He silently grabbed the car keys and ran off. I made my way to the door and shifted Hunter's weight so I could open and closed it. I slipped my shoes half way on before leaving and closing the door. I wasn't at all worried about locking it right now. I just wanted Hunter to be okay. When I got to the car, well the van actually, I jumped into the middle section and cradled Hunter against me. I made sure the towel stayed on his wrist while Aaron sped to the nearest hospital. Once we were there, Aaron pulled up to the emergency entrance. I jumped out with Hunter still in my arms. I was thankful the doors were automatic opening ones. I rushed in. 

"Please help! Please!" I shouted. 

Doctors and nurses came pouring out of nowhere. The brought out a hospital bed and had me lay him down on it before taking him behind doors and into an area where I couldn't go. I plopped down into one of the nearest chairs to wait. 

"Okay. Just hurry," I heard a voice say as it got closer. I knew it was Aaron. "The rest of everyone is on their way," he informed me as he sat down.
