Yuta couldn't retain his smile as he talked non-sensical things with Sol, her cackles echoing through the white halls of the hospital. He peeked around and saw how there were much more patients than usual, all weak and sickly. He felt terrible for all these people, people like him, that had to go through so much. Back to playing with Sol, the door in front of them opened, and he quickly got up approaching the person

A woman came out looking down to her feet, and turned to close the door behind her. "Sooyoung..." he called, and saw her freeze, slowly turning to look up at him. And Yuta finally got a good look at her, his heart breaking into pieces at her condition. "Sooyoung, it is you." he quickly stood in front of her and tried to hug, but she quickly moved back. "Love, it's me, Yuta. Why... Why are you so scared?"

"Yuta..." she called the name as if trying to remember. Yuta pursed his lips waiting for a response as she looked down, when she suddenly looked back up and quickly hugged him, crying into his chest. "Yuta! I missed you so much."

Yuta hugged her back kissing her hair. He couldn't feel anymore happy than now, finally back with the woman he loved. "Shh... It's alright. You're out now. We can live normally." he whispered into her ear, trying to get her to calm down. Babbling soon caught their ears, and she turned to see Sol looking up at them from behind him trying to get Yuta's attention, confused by the baby's presence.

"Who is this? Did you..."

"Come on Haechan." Hansol had had enough and dragged him out of the car by the collar while his mother pushed him from the inside. Once they finally got him out Hansol pulled the younger with him towards the gate, up to the office to register both of them. Heading to teach his first class, he noticed Haechan walking slowly, looking down at his feet. He sighed and went back to him grabbing his shoulder, making him look up.

"You don't want to be late." Hansol said with a small smile. Haechan sighed and looked down again, dragging his feet as they walked.

"I'm just really nervous..." he mumbled, and Hansol knew he had a right to be. It had been years since he was last in a group of people the same age as him, let alone in school.

It became even harder when they had to part ways, and Haechan was left alone to enter his new lecture room. He walked in quietly, and sat alone on one side. He looked around at other students who sat together and talked, then took out his own books to take his mind off of them.

"Donghyuck?" he heard someone call, and ignored it. "Lee Donghyuck?"

Now that he couldn't ignore. It was his full name, and he was quite sure not many had the same exact name as him. He turned to the side, where three boys stood staring at him with confused eyes. The boys exchanged looks for a while, when something about the one who called him clicked.

A snaggle tooth.

"Wait, you're... Jaemin, Jeno, Renjun!" Haechan exclaimed standing up. "You guys are here!"

He ran out of his seat towards the boys, who pulled him into a tight group hug.

"Dude, where have you been? We made our parents look for you for so long! We missed you."

Coming out of the doors, Winwin stopped with his trolley and looked around amongst the crowd, until his eyes fell upon the figure of two women. They were looking across him, and he chuckled that they couldn't recognise him. It has been years after all. Winwin went closer, until he stood right in front of them.
