Soobin has no idea how Beomgyu was able to climb up to his bedroom window, so when he's done torturing the other's earlobe, he goes to his window to look.

"How the heck did you get up—" he sees a rope tied into a loop hooked at his window latch. "Oh. You do know that there's such things as front doors, right?" He turns to look at his dongsaeng, who was painfully rubbing his ears.

"Yeah, but what if your mother answers the door?" "I thought you guys would have a solution for that." Soobin sighs and rolls his eyes. "Okay, how do I get down?" Beomgyu immediately stops his groaning and swiftly makes his way to the window and climbs out.

"Wait, isn't that danger—" Soobin starts. He had already jumped down. "Okay.. so he's gone now.." he uncertainly makes his way to it and looks down again, and sees the three other boys, waiting for someone's scared ass to get down there already.

"How does this work?" he looks at the rope and examines it carefully for a whole two minutes, obviously not knowing what he's doing. "Would you hurry up?!" the impatient voice of Beomgyu rises from the back of his house.

Thank god his window was closed, or he would have to do some explaining to his mother.

He eventually gives up picking at the rope and sits on the sill. Hanging his legs over, he grabs the rough material and slowly but surely wraps his legs around it.

Now, he was just hanging outside his window like a total mess. Too scared to go down and too scared to go back. "Guys.. what do I do?" his shaking voice calls down to the four, who are weirded out and trying not to laugh.

"Just slide down, Hyung. It isn't that hard." Taehyun tries to reassure his elder. "Loosen your grip and go down smoothly." "I can't! It's too dangerous!" Soobin tightens his grip on the rope and flinches, not daring to look down.

"What the fuck." Beomgyu facepalms himself. Wanting this to stop, Yeonjun speaks up. "Why don't you just fall down? I'll catch you!" "Are you crazy? I don't trust you!" the younger doesn't change his position.

"Hey guys, I know how to get him down. Jun Hyung, get your arms ready." Hueningkai walks over to the still hanging end of the rope and tugs on it, hard.

The poor bunny isn't able to hold on and lets go with a small squeal, before falling right onto someone.

Someone that wasn't Yeonjun.

"Soobin Hyung, fall onto Yeonjun next time." Taehyun groans under the weight of the 185cm boy. "Oh god, I'm so sorry!" he hastily gets up and helps the younger.

"Tae, are you okay? Did you break anything?" Beomgyu rushes to his boyfriend, completely ignoring Soobin's existence.

"I'm fine.. you're really clingy, you know that?" Taehyun sighs. "Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks for asking." Soobin sarcastically says and crosses his arms. "What do you guys want to do?"

"So I was thinking, that since you're still recovering from a head injury, we'll go to that one café to get you a hot drink or something to relax a bit, then in the evening, we'll go to a place I know to show you something." Yeonjun states proudly.

"Show me what?" the tallest of the five asks. "It's a surprise." the older chuckles to himself and puts his hand out for Soobin to hold. The latter stares at him in a doubting expression for a few seconds, then eventually smiles and takes the hand.

"I think I've found a new ship to stan, y'all." Hueningkai snaps a picture of the two before turning to the others. "Yeah, I know right? They're literally so cute." Beomgyu wiggles his eyebrows in Yeonjun's direction. Taehyun just facepalms at his boyfriend's childish behaviour.

"Is that all you drink, Hyung?" the second youngest of the group asks Soobin. "Almond milk? No, I drink water too." he replies. Taehyun stifles a laugh before going back to his phone.

"I didn't know it was almond flavoured. I thought you were just drinking plain milk." Hueningkai says, a little surprised. "It be like that sometimes."

Meanwhile, Yeonjun had been quiet the whole time, observing Soobin interact with his friends and being happy. The negative thoughts are coming back again.

He looks much happier with them. Maybe I'm not good enough for him. He'll probably end up with Hueningkai or someone else. They look close.

He's interrupted by a slap on his shoulder. "Jun, what's up? You're being real quiet over here." Beomgyu asks him. "I just got a little dazed for a while, don't mind me." He laughs it off. "Oh.. alright.. tell me if something's wrong, okay?" and he goes back to talking with the other three.

Yeonjun sighs and looks out of the window. He sees many birds flying around in the sky, and wonders what it would be like to be one. Free from anxiety, mental problems, depression, and basically trying to be good enough for everyone.

He didn't ask to be like this. In fact, he doesn't like being like this. Yeonjun yearns to be happy, free from his mental issues, fears and most of all, bad memories.

But sometimes, life isn't fair.

"Oh my god, Yeonjun, is that you?" a girl walks up to them with a few other behind her. "He's grown up. Poor thing wasn't very happy back then." another snickers behind her. "Yeah. I bet he's still the same, crying, depressed child he was. Or should I say is?"

They all laughed at their words, not realising they just ripped Yeonjun's will to live in half. And it wasn't much. "What do you want? Fuck off." Beomgyu stands up quickly, causing the chair behind him to fall back and make a loud sound, attracting everyone's attention.

"Look, he's got new friends! Not sure they'll stay for long, though." The third girl says. "Hey, if you're here to diss my friend, I think you should really go climb back into the hole you cavemans came from and maybe consider getting a zip installed on your mouth. You really don't have anything to do that you start to pick on other people. Why not yourself? Have you seen your face? It looks like an animal I've seen in the zoo, and I only go to the apes section."

The other three boys stared at him in awe. They didn't know Beomgyu had the guts to say all that. "Sis snapped." Hueningkai whispers to Soobin and Taehyun.

"You're going to regret talking to me like that." she tells him angrily. "Try me, bitch."

Yeonjun sits there with his head in his hands, wanting everything to stop.

The two had different ideas.
