THIRD PERSON POV

Mr. Jongwoon, Changmin, Kyuhyun, and Minseok are in the kitchen. Jongwoon is making sandwiches. Minseok is making tea while Changmin and Kyuhyun are sitting on the stools of the kitchen island and eating chocolate from a basket filled with gifts that was sent to Onew to congratulate him on the baby.

Minho comes down with a sandwich and cup of tea on a tray with Baekhyun behind. "He won't eat," Baekhyun mumbles. Minho puts down the tray on the island counter.

Changmin knits his eyebrows, "Did you tell him it's a chicken sandwich?"

Baekhyun shrugs his eyebrows, "No. Does it matter?"

Minseok reaches for the sandwich, "I'll eat it"

Minho glares at Minseok. Minseok shrugs, "What? Can't let it go to waste"

Baekhyun pouts, "This is just... heartbreaking"

Kyuhyun nods, "It is..."

Jongwoon nods, "But Jinki's been through a lot in his life and he'll get through this. And he'll get through it with us"

"This sandwich is amazing," Minseok mutters with his mouth full. Changmin looks at his little brother and rolls his eyes

"Hello? Baekhyun? Anybody?" Chanyeol yells from the front door

"In the kitchen," Minho informs him. Chanyeol quickly enters the kitchen, "How's he doing?"

Kyuhyun shakes his head, "Not good"

"What happened?" Chanyeol asks

Minho sighs, "On his checkup today, the doctor couldn't find the baby's heartbeat"

Chanyeol looks at Jongwoon then at Minho, "I wanna see him"

"I don't know if that's a good idea," Jongwoon says

"Mr. Jongwoon, we had a fight. Friends fight sometimes. But they are always there when you need a shoulder to lean on. I'll bring him some tea," Chanyeol picks up a cup from the counter and heads to the stairway

"That's mine but okay," Baekhyun mutters

Onew lays on his bed, covering his body and face with his blanket. *Knock knock*

Onew looks over to the door and sees Chanyeol poking his head in, "Hey... Can I come in?"

Onew looks at him with a cold expression. "What are you doing here?" Onew says with a raspy voice from all the crying

"I'm your friend. I love you," Chanyeol says

Onew turns his head to look at the wall, "Just go away"

"Onew... just- please... Just give me a minute," Chanyeol steps inside and heads to the side of the bed that Onew is lying on. "I brought you some tea"

Onew shakes his head, "I don't want tea"

Chanyeol puts at the cup down and looks at Onew. He sees Onew's eyes are red and watery. His nose is red and his face is pale. Chanyeol looks back down at the cup, "Are you a coaster person?"

Onew glares at Chanyeol, "Just leave it"

Chanyeol slowly sits next to Onew and takes a deep breath, "I want you to know how sorry I am"

Onew looks at Chanyeol, "Why would you be sorry? You didn't think I should have had this baby in the first place... Congratulations... you win"

"Onew... Onew- my god- I never wanted this to happen to you- to anyone"
