SEVENTEEN

Chapter 19

Chapter 19 

                Seokmin didn't know exactly how long that he and Minghao were sitting on the hard, cold bathroom floor in the dark. He just knew that he's about 90% sure that Minghao had fallen asleep on him. Man, he must have been wiped out to just up and pass out on him. Though that all changed when he heard a light knock coming from the closed bathroom door. At first he thought that he was just imagining things, but he kept hearing it, so he assumed that there was someone outside the door. He was debating whether or not he should get up and see who was at the door. But he didn't want to wake up Minghao if he really was asleep, or to aggravate his friend's headache and make his suffering even worse than it already was. Luckily for him he didn't have to make that decision himself. The door to the room slowly opened with a soft creek of the old hinges that it rested on. And Seokmin could see their leader poke his head into the dark room through the tiny opening. 

                   Seungcheol peaked into the room to check on the two of them to make sure that everything was going okay in there. They really didn't need another member to end up in the hospital now. And yes, everyone's pretty sure that Minghao's just hungover, but one can never be too careful can they? So, checking on them he goes. "Need anything?" He whispers into the room. He hoped that Seokmin could hear him since he was trying to keep his voice down so that he didn't make Minghao's condition even worse. And he wasn't going to go anywhere near the light switch to the room. Though he was hopeful since Seokmin saw him poke his head into the room. The young med student just shook his head at him. "No Hyung, we're okay." Seokmin said softly as he rubbed the Minghao's back. Seungcheol nodded his head, and opened the door a little bit wider so that he could squeeze himself into the room. He turned around and quickly closed the door behind, so the light that was trying to come in through the hallway from assaulting Minghao's hungover state. He then made his way over to the two males sitting on the floor, and crouched down in front of them. 

             "Hey, guys." He said softly as he came in front of them. Seungcheol smiled at them, and then turned his attention to the youngest in the room. "Hey Hao," Seungcheol called as he ran his fingers through the younger man's hair. "How are you doing buddy?" He asked him. Minghao just groaned in response. It didn't take a genius to figure out how awful he must be feeling, but Seungcheol was just making sure that what his dongsaeng was experiencing was just hangover systems and not something else. And it was then that it dawned on him that Minghao was a male carrier just like Jeonghan and Seungkwan. A million different thoughts were running through his head at that very moment. Could this be something carrier related? Could Minghao be pregnant?!?! Okay, he really needed to calm down so that he can think through all of this rationally. "I know buddy, I know." Seungcheol told him. "I know that you don't feel good." He told him. After a few more minutes of the three of them sitting in silence, Seungcheol looked over at Seokmin. "How's he been doing Min?" He asked him. Seokmin just shrugged. "He threw up, but not a whole lot came out, and when he was done he just sort of collapsed against the wall until I moved him over to my lap." Seokmin told him. "Other than that he's just been quiet this whole entire time, I thought that he was asleep until you came in here Hyung." He told him. Seungcheol sighed and scrubbed at his face again, man today was really going to be a very long day, wasn't it.

                              While Seungcheol was busy checking up on those two, that left Jeonghan and Joshua to corral the rest of their lovely brood. Luckily for them, that Joshua was able to get the smell of vomit out of the kitchen sink when he was cleaning and disinfecting it, so no one was really able to tell that Minghao had thrown up in it, especially after Jeonghan and Joshua had gotten done cooking breakfast. And per Jun's request, he made an American style breakfast. They had pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, and biscuits, along with some fruit. All of the other boys were worried about their friend, that much was obvious. Though all of them were too scared to say anything and voice their thoughts out loud. Jeonghan and Joshua were just communicating silently with each other throughout the whole meal, while they waited for Seungcheol to come back with Minghao and Seokmin.
