Dial. Ring. Answering machine.

Dial. Ring. Answering machine.

Dial. Ring. Answering machine.

Shove the panic rising in your throat down.

Try not to sob.

Shove your hands under your knees to stop the shaking.

Ignore Kim Minseok at the door.

Dial. Ring. Answering machine.

Dial. Ring. Answering machine.

Dial. Ring. Ans-

"Hello?"

Let the sob you've been holding in out.

"Baekhyun." Kim Jongdae sobbed, his voice cracking and voice shuddering.

"DaeDae?" Byun Baekhyun replied. "Shut up. Yes, it's Dae- no! Stop, I'm serious! Bug off, the both of you!" These last phrases came out muffled and faint, as if he had covered the microphone.

"Oh my Hades, Baekkie!" Jongdae cried. "I thought you were dead! Kyungsoo and Kris said both you and Chanyeol had gone missing and I don't know what I thought but it wasn't good. Are you okay? Where are you? Do you feel okay? Have you eaten? Oh my, are you drunk? Please don't drive."

Baekhyun laughed from the other end. "I'm alright, DaeDae. Chanyeol is alright. We're alright. Everything's alright." He proceeded to tell Jongdae what happened, from the very beginning, before he had shown up at Do Kyungsoo's.

Jongdae tried his best to keep his cool throughout. He felt his hands beginning to shake again, and he wrung them out and shook them to try and get them to stop.

"Baekkie, I'm so sorry." Jongdae sobbed. His voice hitched and he whined as he spoke. He paused for a moment, sobbing uncontrollably into his phone, hearing nothing but Baekhyun's steady breathing on the other end. "Is Woohyun okay?" Jongdae finally sniffled out.

"Oh." Baekhyun said. "Uh, he's, uh, alive." he muttered, his voice also becoming hitched and shaky. "He's, uh, in the hospital right now. He's in a, uh, coma." he said the last word carefully, as if he was a young child trying out a swear word for the first time.

And this is when Kim Jongdae broke into hysterics.

And Byun Baekhyun matched him from the other end.

Jongdae hadn't known Baekhyun for very long. Three years, in fact. Yet, he's grown very close to the boy a mere four months older than him. Baekhyun quickly became like a brother to him, which meant Baekhyun's family was his family. Although he had only stayed with the Byuns briefly, Baekhyun's younger brother, Byun Woohyun, often tagged along with them, whether it was laser tagging or drives to the store for snacks or late night movie watching.
