Promise. [Woosan] // [Ateez]

Seven

San had carefully snuck into his and Yunho shared room while trying not to wake up the other. He made his way up the bunk and into his bed as he pulled the covers up to his chin closing his eyes and he reached for Shiber.

His heart sank as soon as he couldn't feel the stuffed toy next to his anymore, he frowned as he instantly got up searching the bed, but no sign of Shiber.

He swore that he had left Shiber next to him, I mean that's the only place he would be. San began to panic. Even though it seemed childish and stupid he can't sleep without the plush by his side.

He grabbed his phone turning the flashlight on, thinking that maybe he hadn't had looked properly in his ever-growing collection of plushies, that was gathered in the side and foot of his bed. So he began to once again search through them, but sadly the dog plush wasn't there.

He then decided to climb out of bed and search the rest of the room, being careful not to wake Yunho. He walked past the alarm clock displayed on the desk beside Yunho's bed. It read '2:47am' but San wasn't even tired due to the amount of stress that was escalating out of him.

He quickly continued to search, searching the wardrobes, under Yunho's bed and lastly the desk, but still no sign of Shiber.

That's when he decided to expand his search, walking out into the hallway, his feet making loud thumps against the hardwood floors.

He searched the kitchen, living room and laundry, but still couldn't find his soft friend.

Eventually he made it to the bathroom, losing all hope that he ever had, trying to partly accept the fact that someone had stolen him or that he had been lost.

But he still continued to search the room hoping that something might show up, but no, nothing. San quickly felt tears burn in his eyes as his throat tightened. He sat down bringing his knees up to his chest and burying his head in them.

San could feel tears well up in his eyes, even though he tried to hold them back, causing an even greater urge to let them out. A small whine slipped past his lips as the tears started to rapidly roll down his cheeks. He constrained a sleeve covered hand to his mouth as he cried, his hot tears leaving trails behind on his cheeks.

Instantly he heard another enter the room, but right now he didn't care who it was or what they wanted, as he felt a comforting hand touch his head.

He looked up slightly as there he saw Hongjoong before him looking puzzled to the fact that the younger was crying.

"What's wrong Sani?" Hongjoong had taken a seat next to the brunette.

San suddenly remembered Shiber causing him to break down once again, but before he could bury his head back into his knees Hongjoong took it and brought him into a hug. As he rubbed circles into his back.

Hongjoong decided to leave it for now until San calmed down, hoping that he wouldn't be as distressed.

San had finally stopped crying as he sniffled a little before clearing his throat.

"Sani, do you wanna go sit on the couch and tell hyung what's bothering you?"

San nodded as Hongjoong led him outside the room and onto the couch as San grabbed a pillow placing it in his lap.

"I c-can't find Shiber" he let out managing not to cry.

"Oh Sani, baby" Hongjoong coos softly as he pulled the younger into a hug.

"Don't worry we'll find him" Hongjoong pulled away, leaving stains or tears on his shirt.

"B-but I've l-looked everywhere" he sniffled.

"Hmm is that right" Hongjoong thought to himself.

He needed anything, anything to make the younger happy and there was no point telling San that they could search in the morning since everyone knew that San can't sleep without the plush. But he still thought 'why not give it a try'.

"San"

San immediately looked up drawing all attention to his hyung in hope of something good.

"Do you recon you could sleep without Shiber just for tonight?"

San shook his head quickly.

"Ahh hyung I don't think I can"

Hongjoong sighed as he thought of an even better idea.

"What if I got Woo for you?"

Hongjoong really didn't want to wake Wooyoung up, but San needed comfort, and Wooyoung was his best friend.

"W-Wooyoung?" He said in his childish soft voice.

"Yes, Wooyoung, I'm sure he'll keep you some company, he's like a bigger louder version of Shiber"

San giggled a little as he nodded his head.

Hongjoong then smiled as he got up dreading what he was about to do next.

He slowly made it to Yeosang and Wooyoung's shared room as he carefully turned the door knob, hoping that it would be open, and to his surprise it was.

Hongjoong quietly walked in, making his way towards Wooyoung as he lightly rubbed the boys arm, causing him to stir a bit as he moved a little moaning.

"Woo please wake up" Hongjoong lightly continued to rub him.

Wooyoung finally responded after 5 minutes of being annoyed.

"Yes hyung, is everything alright, where's the fire, I'll go put it out." He spoke as his eyes still stayed closed.

"No Woo there's no fire hun" he giggled a little back.

"What, then why am I awake, did the zombies finally find us"

Hongjoong furrowed his eyebrows.

"What?"

"oh sorry wrong person"

"San needs you" Hongjoong continued.

"huh"

"San"

"Who's Sand?"

"S-a-n, the boy who lives with us, your best friend" Hongjoong rolled his eyes.

"Oh I know that guy" he finally opened his eyes, as he started to raise his head.

"Be careful" Hongjoong grabbed his shoulders making sure he wouldn't hit his head on anything.

Wooyoung laughed in a drunken manner, as Hongjoong helped him up.

"I swear to god what are you on?" Hongjoong lead him out of the room making sure to close the door behind them.

"Wooyoung?"

"San?" Wooyoung stopped.
