It was when he got of the last stage in Perth, he found out about Dee. Their manager knew before, but didn't tell him on purpose, to make him finish the concert, knowing him well enough that if he told him about her back then, he would be out of mind.

Like he was right now, sitting on the plane, which was nearing Icheon's airport at last.

"Calm down, Baek," Suho next to him, placed his hand on his knee, as he kept jumping up and down, thanks to the state he was in right now.

"I need to know, she is alright," he murmured for the millionth time, since they got on this flight.

"I'm sure she is, Baek. If you keep freaking out like this, you are not going to help to anything," Junmyeon advised him.

"I can't bear to sit still any longer," he shared with his friend, knowing they still have few minutes, before the plane descents to its final destination. As soon as the light signalling, they can unfasten their seatbelts, lightened up, he jumped up on his feet and rush through the crowd of people and immigration check, like a hurricane, with his members trying to keep up with his speed.

Thankfully their manager knew what to do and had their vans ready to take them to the hospital Dee was being treated in. He sat inside as the first one nagging the others to be faster.
He still didn't have an idea, what happened to her exactly. He only found out, she is in the hospital for two days now, because she fell unconscious due to head injury. He didn't care, that their arrival to the hospital will make a little commotion. Hyung Manager separated him from other members, letting him go on his own, so they don't draw too many eyes to them.

"We will meet you in her room," he got instructed before, they kicked him out of the car and he rushed inside of the hospital building. On the reception, he didn't even have to mention, who is he looking for and they led him to the fifth floor for VIP, which surprised him, but he supposed they knew, who's girlfriend she is and place her here, straight away.

"She is inside, she is still under the painkillers, sleeping," the nurse lady informed him and he went in, without any more delays. His eyes instantly found a sleeping figure under the floral sheets, in the bed in the centre of the room.

He found himself already standing by her side, watching her pale face, immediately noticing scratches on her cheek, which looked visibly swollen, but overall she seemed to be alright. The beeping of the monitor, letting him know about her pulse rate, gave away her current calm state.

He didn't even realize that he was holding his breath, until he made sure she is stable, with his own two eyes and let it all out. He bent down and took her hand with his, sensing her cold skin, against his warm one.

How could she during those few days get herself into the hospital?

"What happened to you, baby?" he asked her hoarsely, not recognizing his own voice. Her heartbeat remained steady while he held her, which meant only that she was still asleep. He was studying her soft features, like he did the first time he saw her closely.

He stayed like this for couple more minutes, feeling the bubble of curiosity rising inside of him, wanting to know, how could she end up here, when he heard someone in the hallway talking. He let go of her hand and went to the door, but as soon he opened them slightly, he recognized the voice of the person there, stopping in half movement, leaving the door opened and not letting the man outside know, he is there.
