Taeil slowly caressed Sicheng's cheek as the boy layed his head on the table, the silence was kept until Sicheng spoke up, “Hyung, am I a problem?” he pouted and even Kun perked up and exclaimed, “NO!”

Both boys hugged the youngest at this, “Chenggie, you could never be a problem, we love you and you're our lucky charm!” Sicheng pouted, “But I got everyone mad at Jaehyun when it isn't his fault.”

“Aww, I'm sorry about that, it's just that Jaehyun was being clumsy—” Sicheng then cut Taeil off, “He wasn't. It was an accident, he didn't want it either.”

Kun sighed, rummaging through his thoughts ‘He may not have wanted it but I'm sure he enjoyed it.’. The tamed tigers were still aware of keeping their prey. But Taeil, he just wanted to do checkmate already.

Minutes passed and Yuta finally arrived back with Jaehyun, both of them covered in bruises. “What did you guys do?!” Sicheng exclaimed after noticing the bruises upon the arrival of the two.

“I swear, it's not what you thi—” Sicheng cut Jaehyun off, “Tell me what happened.” he demanded slamming his fist down. “We just...” Jaehyun was left silent, words trailed off, at the end of his tongue. Everyone stayed the way they were.

“Can someone please explain why everyone's acting weird...” Sicheng stood up, he needed a breather really, all this pressure now being hard to cope with at that very moment.

“We like you, okay?! We like you.. All four of us do.” Kun exaggerated. This was too much, for all of them, he just couldn't keep it in anymore, Sicheng had to know either way. It's been years, he deserves to know.

“L-Like me?” Sicheng choked out as he was really about to pass out, it was the last straw. He couldn't take it anymore. He heaved a sigh before his consciousness started fading away.

Yuta hesitated but was quick to scoop Sicheng in his arms, “Now look at what happened!” he looked down, “We were so immature. We really all were.”

“What about the challenge then?” Jaehyun asked as he bit his lip. “It continues if Sicheng's okay with it when he wakes up.” Yuta answered, carrying the unconscious boy onto the clinic bed.

“We have to sort this. Outside, now.” Kun ordered as he pushed everyone outside. “So how are we gonna fix this mess?” Taeil questioned. All four of them currently in the halls, bypassers glancing at them.

“Maybe apologize? Or gift him something?” Jaehyun suggested, Kun nodded at this, “Anything else? I'm sure Sicheng isn't the type to expect anything grand so don't do anything too exaggerating if you ever plan to gift him something.”

“Sicheng does appreciate even the smallest of things.” Yuta added and everyone started smiling at the thought if Sicheng did like the plan they go with.

“How long does an unconscious person stay unconscious for again?” Kun slapped Jaehyun as the Korean male winced. “Yah!”

“That's undetermined, so don't even think about asking that question ever again. It depends on the mind and body's state. And Sicheng's worn out, so it may take a while.”

“Although are you sure he's gonna forgive all of us that easily? We put so much onto him at once,” Taeil concluded. “Fair point.” Yuta agreed as he crossed his arms.

The four boys look at each other before looking at the clinic door, they all let out a troubled sigh as Kun opened his phone. “What's up with opening your phone now?”

“Had the need to call my butler, don't ask any other questions, Moon.” Taeil just nodded as he stood silent. As Kun was on the phone, the other three kept on planning.

“So— what now?” Jaehyun started, “I'm not sure, Yoonoh. As much as I'd like to think of something for Sichenggie, my mind won't function with me right now, everything is happening way too fast.” Yuta answered as he ruffled his hair.

“Yeah right, thank the author for that.” Taeil closed his eyes as he leaned against the wall, the author slowly bowing politely before leaving immediately. (a/n: yes I made it too fast and I did not know what I was thinking.)

Minutes then passed as Yuta started whining, “Ugh, is Kun done yet?” the two remaining boys shook their heads as Yuta went back inside the room to check on Sicheng.

“I wanna check too!” Jaehyun announced as Taeil pulled the boy's should, making the said male trap the younger, “No. As much as I'd hate Yuta entering the room and having alone time with Sicheng, I don't think it's a good idea for you to follow him, especially now that you two aren't in good terms which explains the bruises.”

The younger male sighed at this, the older was right anyway, he wasn't in good terms with the Japanese male at all. In fact they seemed like mortal enemies and nothing could ever change that.

Deciding to cool it down again, Jaehyun plopped on the floor as Kun got back from the phone call, “So what's the idea now, Mr. Perfect?” Taeil said, sarcasm and bitterness were to be found in his tone.

“First of all, it was business. Second, we're planning for Sicheng, and I've decided that we all get to plan individually if one of us really wants to date him in the end.” the Chinese male opened up as the oldest concurred.

“Sure, may the best, winwin the game then.” by this, Jaehyun had a bad feeling about it, “But shouldn't we start all together first? We all did something wrong and it would be weird if we apologized individually.”

“Shut it, Yoonoh.” Taeil snapped, “This is happening and it will happen.” he glared at Kun as the male smirked back, they were then interrupted by Yuta exiting the door, his gaze down as the tension felt thick.

“Sicheng woke up and would like to have a word with all of us.”
