"To be honest I thought you were better than this" Sehun laughed on the other end. Chanyeol huffed a sigh of annoyance as he paused the game, Chanyeol chuckled as Sehun spoke through the head piece. Sehun was off visiting his parents but still managed to get on his console to play a few rounds with Chanyeol. Chanyeol sighed heavily cutting off Sehun's laugh instantly. "Is everything alright?" Sehun's voice suddenly growing soft as he noticed the olders change in behavior.
"Did you noticed anything weird about Baekhyun before you left?" Chanyeol asked, over the past few weeks he had noticed the smallers sudden change in emotion. Chanyeol could rarely get Baekhyun to laugh or even crack a smile and it scared him.
"I didn't notice anything weird" Sehun's voice suddenly faded away for a moment "Have you-" Chanyeol noticed Baekhyun stumble passed his door, he had left the door slightly open in case any of the others needed to get his attention. He could see the tear stains down his cheeks, Baekhyun had been crying. The smaller's body seeming weak.
"I'll be right back" Chanyeol interrupted as He threw off the ear piece and quickly pulled himself to his feet. Stumbling over multiple items as he made his way to the door. He stepped out into the hall and quickly made his way toward the smaller's stumbling body. When Chanyeol finally reached his figure he grabbed his wrist. Baekhyun didn't move a muscle, he wouldn't turn around. "Baekhyun" chanyeol said softly, gently squeezing his wrist. Baekhyun slowly turned around and stared at the floor. Chanyeol moved his fingers under Baekhyun's chin as he gently moved his head up. They locked eyes for a minute before chanyeol could see the tears start to form in baekhyun's eyes. Chanyeol inhaled sharply as he gently led Baekhyun back to his room. It was obvious to him that the smaller was exhausted. The bags under his eyes were evident and the small tremble in baekhyun's knees gave it away. Chanyeol gently sat on his bed and pulled baekhyun onto his lap, baekhyun immediately snuggled into Chanyeol's chest as his body shook with sobs. The sight broke chanyeol's heart. "What's wrong my puppy"
Baekhyun had always enjoyed the nickname which is the soul reason chanyeol used it all the time, it made him happy and that's all chanyeol ever wanted for him. Baekhyun's Head was snuggled into chanyeol's neck as he spoke.
"I'm just feeling bad" Chanyeol tightened his grip around baekhyun's waist.
"Sad wise or sick wise?" Chanyeol asked. Baekhyun hesitated for a moment before speaking
"Sad wise" his voice slowly faded away as sobs took over his body once again. They were loud and heartbreaking. Chanyeol fought back tears as the smaller broke down in his arms, he hated to see Baekhyun so upset. "Can I sleep with you tonight?" Baekhyun's voice was gentle and small but chanyeol still heard it. He smiled softly and nodded, a small smile appearing on baekhyun's lips. A few minutes passed of chanyeol singing quietly while Baekhyun slowly drifted off to sleep. He knew Baekhyun was a touchy person which meant when he was upset he liked to be comforted by touch. He would most of the time come to chanyeol sense he was the tallest of all of them. Chanyeol gently laid down with Baekhyun still in his arms and pulled the covers up to their torso's. Baekhyun whimpered slightly at the movement.
"I won't go anywhere" chanyeol spoke softly, pressing a small kiss to baekhyun's cheek.

Chanyeol watched as minseok gently tended baekhyun's wounds. None of them had seen it coming, but it affected them each a different way. By the way Minseok was acting and the certain motions he would pull chanyeol could tell he was mad, mad at Baekhyun for not getting help before this happened. Maybe more mad at himself for not noticing it. Behind Minseok's layer of anger was hurt and regret and chanyeol could see it. He could feel it as Minseok slowly stood up and walked over to him. The older would not look up at him, just at the carpeted floor beneath their feet. "Just change the bandage if he starts to bleed again" Minseok's quiet voice gently fading away as he concluded his sentence. Chanyeol just nodded, bringing his focus to the smallers body, which lay perfectly still on his bed.
