Woojin was the only one with his own car out of the nine boys, yes, Bang Chan was blessed. And as soon as Felix announced that Changbin had hurt himself through their KakaoTalk group chat (which was basically 5 minutes after Changbin had fallen), Woojin offered himself to bring them home. As the good best friend he was.

Sadly, Felix had to go to his classes and couldn't stay with him in the morning. So Woojin gave him a ride and then went back to his own apartment with Changbin.

"How's that foot?" Woojin asked as he helped the shorter one to get out of the car.

"It hurts a lot," Changbin sighed, "At least right now is not bothering too much since they sprayed that weird thing over it. But as soon as the effect is gone, I'm probably gonna be suffering again."

Changbin knew he wasn't good at handling physical pain, he'd never been able to. He didn't consider himself as a weak person, but when it was about pain, that was a different story.

When Changbin fell, the surprise made him scream first, and then the pain. He tried to stop himself from shedding tears as he hissed trying to endure how much it was hurting him, but it was useless. The tears were rolling down before he could do anything to actually stop them. And the fact that Felix didn't know what to do at first, didn't help much, the poor boy was panicking as he saw Changbin cry in pain. Changbin was about to reveal to him what he was supposed to do instead of waiting for Felix to find out for himself. He simply wanted his agony to end.

Felix ended up texting their friends for help and they told him to take Changbin to the nearest hospital quickly. And luckily for them, the hospital was just around the corner. So Felix took Changbin on his back, holding him carefully not to hurt his foot any more, and walked to the hospital.

"Don't think too much about it or you will call for it," Woojin handed him the crutches. "It's only a twist, so it probably won't hurt anymore soon, but please be careful with your movements."

"Yeah, I know," Changbin answered, moving carefully towards the entrance, trying to get used to the crutches quickly.

Once inside, he headed towards his room. Taking a small suitcase that was under his bed with Woojin's help and placing it over his bed. With the help of a chair, he sat in front of his closet and started taking out a few clothes.

"You know I don't mind taking care of you, right?" Woojin asked him.

Changbin turned around and smiled at him, "I know, hyung. But you work way more than I do, I can't put myself on your shoulders too," he explained.

Woojin nodded, understanding Changbin's point and helping him fold the clothes inside the carrier suitcase.

"How exactly did it happen?" Woojin looked at him with curiosity.

"The most stupid thing ever," Changbin snorted, "I stepped on a few wet leaves that had fallen to the sidewalks and slipped. And goodbye to walking normally for two weeks."

Woojin tried not to laugh, but a little chuckle escaped his mouth. Changbin looked at him with angry eyes and Woojin raised his hands as a sign of peace. They went back to packing. And started talking about random things or artists they both liked. One of the things that Changbin and Woojin had in common was music, although Woojin was a music student focused on vocals (since Woojin had God's voice) and Changbin was more into composing and writing, they still had a lot to talk about. And, on several occasions, they'd had the opportunity to collaborate for festivals and other things.

"Talking about that, didn't Jisung and Chan want to work with you for the Christmas Festival?"

"Ah, yes," Changbin answered distractedly. "But since it's not even November yet, we decided to do it later on."

"Fair enough," Woojin replied, "Seungmin and Jeongin want me to collaborate with them, but I'm not sure if I will be able to. Since they might assign me to somebody else from my year," he sighed.

Woojin was a remarkable student thanks to his talent and his hard work. And that lead to him being solicited a lot by several professors and even other students. He barely had any free time from the university and that time he would spend it either working or with Chris.

"Don't push yourself too much, hyung," Changbin said to him and patted his shoulder. "We have enough with Chan not sleeping ever. We don't need you to collapse as he did already," he smiled at him.

"God, don't make me remember that," Woojin ran his hand through his hair in frustration, "Those were awful days."

A few months ago, before Changbin met Felix, Woojin had been overstressed and worried because Chan had had a collapse. Chan was known for working more than he was supposed to do it and more than his body could ever resist. He didn't have a good economic situation, but he'd managed to get a scholarship for K-arts. However, to keep this scholarship, he needed to keep all his grades at the top. The scholarship was really good, it paid for both the university and the room where he was staying, however, it didn't give him any money to spend. So Chan needed to work on top of all that and sometimes he would even work double turns or get mini jobs on other places.

Back in that time, many things were happening in the older's family, which led to him getting overwhelmed and finally passing out. He was out of the game for a complete week and even the teachers at K-arts had to give the boy a break. After that, Woojin had promised himself to take Chan out every time it was possible for him, just to help him relax and avoid having to go through that again.

"You two are truly made for each other," Changbin commented and Woojin couldn't help it but smile.

"Anyways," Woojin finished, "Let's take you and your belongings to Hyunjin since I have to go to work in a few minutes," Woojin got up and took the carrier with him, letting Changbin take the crutches and walk after him.
