Despite my excitement and urge to run down the stairs and all the way back to the hospital, Wooyoung calmed me down and told me to walk slowly there, even though my heart is bursting with excitement to see my best friend again. Soon, we arrived back to my apartment complex, where Wooyoung hailed another taxi and we rode all the way to the hospital.

On the way there, my leg wouldn't stop bouncing up and down with excitement. Wooyoung chuckled at me and placed his hand on my leg to make it stop jumping up and down.

"Calm down, Kyung," Wooyoung said.

"How can you ask me to calm down? My heart is literally bursting with excitement right now."

"Just breathe in and out repeatedly, and your heart will calm down," Wooyoung instructed. I breathed in and out through my nose, but my heart is still beating at an incredibly fast rate.

"Nope," I shook my head. "Not working."

Wooyoung sighed with defeat and shook his head. "Alright then, we'll just have to wait until we see Yunho."

After what seems like a thousand-year ride, we reached the hospital. I waited impatiently for Wooyoung to pay the taxi fee before pulling him into the hospital excitedly. He chuckled at my impatience and we both walked into the patients' rooms area.

We paused in front of Yunho's room. I breathed in and out to calm myself down. Wooyoung patted my shoulder before opening the door, and I spotted Yunho conversing with Suzy and Jongho.

"YUNHOOOO!!!" I yelped before rushing to my best friend and squeezing him in a hug. Suzy and Jongho looked at me with surprise before chuckling. Yunho's eyes were wide before he laughed aloud and patted my back.

"Hey Kyung," he smiles.

I pulled away from him and growled menacingly. "Don't ever do that to me again."

Yunho's eyes widened and he nodded. "Yes, mom."

Wooyoung laughed as he entered the room. I looked around and noticed that the other guys were here as well. San and Mingi were playing some games on their phones, while Yeosang is doing homework with Hongjoong and Seonghwa. Wooyoung and I took chairs and sat around the bed, along with Suzy and Jongho.

"You know, Mikyung, Gunho came to visit," Jongho informed me.

"Really?" I raised my eyebrows.

"Yeah, it was a little complicated since now he has to go around with this huge oxygen tank of his, but he said he'll manage. He was discharged an hour ago, and insisted that he'll be fine working in the café, despite that tank of his." Jongho shook his head. "That boy is very stubborn."

"Just let him do it," Yunho waved Jongho off. "He probably needs something to get his mind off that huge object. It's probably very heavy to drag around, after all."

"So Yunho, when are you going to be discharged?" I asked.

"Later in the afternoon, probably." Yunho says.

"Great!" Hongjoong suddenly piped up from the desk he is doing homework on. "I was just thinking of setting up a 'Welcome Home Party' to celebrate Gunho's and your return."

"Great idea!" Mingi yelled before returning to the game he and San were playing.

"Where will it be held?" Wooyoung asked, running a hand through his purple hair.

"I was thinking my house, but anywhere would do just fine," Hongjoong shrugs.

"Let's go to your house!" Jongho decided. "There, we can also announce something else."
