"Do you like Meizen?"

Quanzhe's question still rang in Chengcheng's ear. No one dared to say anything after that. Not one of them dared to move an inch.

The elevator doors closed behind them. The crickets outside were already making their daily noise. Still, no one was speaking.

Announcements of the hospital were the only sounds heard. Quanzhe and Chengcheng were still looking at each other.

"What are you guys doing?" They flinched at the voice of their oldest brother, Zhu Zhengting. "Did something happen?"

Chengcheng looked at Zhengting then back at Quanzhe, "If I say yes, what are you gonna do about it?"

Before Zhengting could react, Quanzhe grabbed Chengcheng's collar, "You like her yet you're the one who's making her suffer like this."

Chengcheng scoffed, "Me? She was doing fine before you walked in!"

Zhengting tried coming in between them, "Stop this, right now!"

Zhengting was tossed away on the floor as Chengcheng pushed Quanzhe to the wall.

"Shit, you guys are going to make me bald," Zhengting said, getting up.

"You just can't accept the fact that she likes me! Not you!" Quanzhe exclaimed, tackling Chengcheng as they rolled on the ground.

Everyone started looking at the two boys who were having a cat fight in front of the elevators.

"What's so good about you anyway, huh? Eventually, she's going to grow tired of you because of your shitty attitude," Chengcheng replied with all his might as he push Quanzhe off him.

Quanzhe grabbed his shirt again, "As if your attitudes tolerable. You know what's going to happen when she wakes up? She's going to hate you! She's going to find out what you did and -"

Quanzhe wasn't able to finish his sentence when a fist landed on his face making him stumble backwards on the ground.

Zhengting widened his eyes, "Fan Chengcheng, what the hell was that for?!"

Chengcheng ruffled his hair, "He was getting annoying."

Zhengting kneeled down, trying to look at Quanzhe's lip that was bleeding. "Quanzhe, whatever you're thinking -"

Quanzhe stood up as he countered Chengcheng's punch. The latter rolled on the floor, hitting one of the potted plants. "Don't ever hit me again."

"Guys, stop! Stop this right now!" Zhengting stood in between them holding out his hands. He was out of breath from all the stopping and controlling.

The two boys stood up touching their own faces. The wounds were visible and some blood was present.

"Okay, good, let's all calm down and -" Before he can even back away, the two boys started it again.

Lucky for Zhengting - Xinchun, Wenjun and Justin came on time. They were able to separate the two boys with Zhengting almost losing his breathe.

"What are you guys doing?!" Justin exclaimed, looking at them. "Look at you. Mei jiejie is in her hospital bed right now fighting for her life and you two are strangling each other to death!"

"Chengcheng started it!" Quanzhe pointed as Xinchun tries to hold him back.

"We don't care! If you keep acting like this, you might as well leave!" Justin says and everyone was listening. The youngest was speaking out what he was truly feeling.

"Xinchun, why don't you take Quanzhe home for the night?" Wenjun suggests. "He needs some rest."

Xinchun nods, dragging Quanzhe away but before they could leave the hospital, shouts from Zeren were heard.

"Guys!" Zeren huffed, trying to catch his breath. "It's Meizen. She's -"

"Doctor Ouyang Jin, please report to the emergency room. Doctor Ouyang Jin, please report to the emergency room."

The 7 boys stood in their tracks as they listened to the announcement over the speaker.

"We have patient from room number 23. Doctor Ouyang Jin, please report to the emergency room."

Quanzhe pushed Xinchun a bit, "That's Meizen's room."
