*KAKAO Message* 3:56am

You took out your phone and opened the message

'Felix the Mosquito - JYP'
Y/N... Chan hyung is still up. It's been two days.

What?

You shot up from your bed, and wore your glasses. Slipped some sweats and your usual vans, grabbed a padded jacket and locked the door and ran towards the boys' dorm.

-

"Hey, I'm here..." you said with a hoarse voice, rubbing sleep away from your eyes

"Y/N...Uh, hang on." The Aussie on the other line came towards the door and opened it

Felix was shocked to see you. He scanned your figure. Hair all knotted at the ends, it was a shocker to see you in glasses... Not to mention the thin loosely fitted top you had on.

"Come in." He said while slid you a pair of slippers

"Y.../N?" Hyungjin came out of his room for a drink, shocked to see you dressed like this at this hour

"Hey..." you cleared your voice and greeted the boy with towering height

"Here, wear this." Hyunjin took off his hoodie and helped you wear it

"...Thank you..." you tired to get your hands through the never ending sleeves, still half asleep

"Could I borrow-" You felt someone smooth down your hair with a brush

It was the maknae. He gently brushed through the knots, trying not to tug too hard or hurt you

"Noona..." he back hugged you, knowing what the maknae wanted to say, you just patted his hand

"So, he hasn't be out in 2 days? Doesn't Woojin oppa and Minho oppa share a room with him?" You rubbed your eyes again

"You've watched the first episode right? There would be eliminations...Minho hyung..." the maknae's eyes turned dull

"No..." you stood up and walked to the door

"Are they awake?" You asked Hyunjin who followed

"Yeah...Hyung couldn't sleep." He placed a hand on the small of your back

"I'm sorry this always happens... we keep asking you for help." He took your hand in his

"He's your hyung and he's my best friend. Don't feel sorry Hyunjinnie." You gave him a tired smiled

You turned the door handle, to your surprise it was unlocked. The room was dark but the bed side lamp was still on, you saw a lump curled up on the single bed. Trying not to wake the eldest sleeping on the bunk beds, you tipped toed and kneeled down you saw messy blonde curls poking out of the quilt.

You placed a hand on his hair and gently stroked him.

"Channie ah...You've worked hard." You whispered

There was no answer but soft snores from the bunk bed.

"There's only so much you can do, no one will blame you, we're always here for you, just like how you're always here for us. We care even if we don't express it in the form of words." You took your hand away and rest a hand on his shoulder

"You're the best leader anyone can ask for..." you didn't want to say much, knowingly nothing much should be said.

"Y/N."

Your heart almost jumped out of your chest.

The lump moved around, his glossy eyes met yours, your heart dropped. Those puppy dog eyes he wasn't aware of when he's sad.
