2 weeks later

"Sejun hyung! You are taking so long in the toilet!! It's been almost an hour already! Hurry up! I want to shower!" Byungchan shouted from outside his shared toilet with Sejun.

"Wait! I'm still not done with my huge business yet! Just go to someone else's toilet! I still need lots of time." Sejun shouted from instead.

"Ugh! You horrible man!" Byungchan said in stormed out of the room.

He went to Hanse and Subin's room, he opened the door and peeked in, " Is your toilet available?"

"Subin is doing his business now. Go to another room." Hanse laughed evilly.

"Aish!" Byungchan complained. He then went to Seungwoo's room.

He opened the door," Hyung can I borrow your toilet, Sejun is hogging the toilet for so long today again!"

He looked and saw no one in the room," oh.. hyung should most probably be upstairs in one of their rooms, nevermind I'll just take a quick shower."

outside, 15 minutes later

Seungwoo and Woosoek walked down from upstairs, and entered Seungwoo's room, and shut the door tightly.

"Why are you following me?" Seungwoo said.

"To make sure you are eating your medicine, all of it." Wooseok demanded.

in the bathroom, Byungchan was drying his hair with a towel when he heard their conversation, "Medicine? What medicine? His knee one?" Byungchan wondered and continued listening.

"I'm fine, I'll eat on my own." Seungwoo said.

"Yah, you dumbass you think I don't know, you have been skipping not eating the medicine for so many days already, can't you tell by your stamina during practice now? Compared to the past your stamina decreased so much, sometimes in less than an hour you already needed a break. Why not you take my advice and rest for a day or two." Wooseok said.

Seungwoo started coughing, Wooseok patted his back," Don't worry, Dongwook hyung gave me a stronger medicine I can bear with it. Plus my promotions for howling is still going on and we have a performance scheduled tomorrow night, I definitely can't take a break now. I've been bearing with it till now, it'll be fine, I know when I can't take it, trust me." After saying that he gulped down his medicine with water.

"Ugh! Should we just tell all the members about your condition, you know, Seungsik hyung and Seungyounie definitely noticed something is wrong with you, they asked me about you , yesterday during practice since you were breaking so much more than usual, sooner or later, they'll find out, why not just tell them now." Wooseok said.

"No way, if you tell the both of them, with their characters, they'll definitely not let me go on stage anymore, and will definitely tell the managers." Seungwoo said

"Then tell Jinhyukkie. He will definitely find a way for us." Wooseok said.

"No, I don't want anyone else to know...plus like seriously things will become very obvious once more people know about it. This thing is just nothing, look at it, 2 weeks just passed by that fast, just a while more and it'll be all over, don't you understand?" Seungwoo reasoned.

Wooseok rolled his eyes, "Hyung, Dongwook hyung told me that your case is serious, stop treating it like a small flu, it's freaking PNEUMONIA!?" Wooseok said.

Byungchan who had been listening all along, heard that, he slam opened the door and said," What?! Hyung you have pneumonia?"

the other two were so stunned.

Seungwoo stuttered," Sin..ce when..when...were you in there. How..how much did you hear?"

"Everything! Hyung, why didn't you tell me?" Byungchan said

Seungwoo sighed, and plopped down on his bed," I'm fine."

Byungchan looked at Wooseok," Since when did he find out and you too"

Wooseok sat on the chair," it should be around 2 weeks and a bit more already, he's been controlling his condition with medicine."

"With that how on earth were you even singing and going through all those intense practices?" Byungchan asked as he sat down next to Seungwoo.

"He's insane..." Wooseok said then sighed

"Byungchan ah, you are not gonna say anything right?" Seungwoo said.

"..."

"I swear I'll get treatment after the promotions end, just don't tell anyone about this please...." Seungwoo said.

"..."

"I've already controlled for more than 2 weeks, it's just one more week till the promotion ends, please help me, don't say anything..."

..."

"Please..."

"fine fine fine! You better go to the hospital straight away once the promotion ends, okay? And you better watch out, I'll be keeping my eyes on you from now onwards. You'll never ever be able to miss taking your medicine. And I'm gonna feed you and make you it well to make you healthier! You don't feel well, you better call me straight away, got it?" Byungchan said worriedly.

Seungwoo hugged Byungchan and they both lied on the bed," Byungchan you are the best, love you!"

Byungchan broke their hug and got up from the bed.

Wooseok then hooked his arm over Byungchan's shoulder," We must be crazy listening to him."

"I know right!" Byungchan sighed.

"wait, now that you know, it makes things easy for us, you can be overly caring to hyung without having others doubting, they will all just think that its your usual obsession over hyung!" Wooseok said.

"yeah, that's great! Ok, hyung, I don't care already, I will watch your every movement carefully, and if anything gets out of hang, you know me I'll just tell this situation to whoever who has the right to know, ok?"

They talked for a little while then left for Seungwoo to rest.

As they walked out the room and closed the door behind them," Let's go to the rooftop, it's easier to talk there. No one will hear us out there." Wooseok suggested. Byungchan nodded.


At the rooftop

"Seokie hyung, are you sure we just let Seungwoo hyung be? Shouldn't we at least tell Jinhyuk hyung or Mingyu? If anything happens, both of us can never be responsible, the consequence is gonna be severe." Byungchan said

"I'm worried too, but if we tell the managers or even Seungsik hyung or Seungyounie they will for sure make a big fuss about it, we should just support hyung from behind right? When I first knew about this, I was reacting like you, but after some time, I could see that with medication he can adjust quite well, perform well, and I can tell that he really wants to finish the promotions with y'all, that eagerness that he wants to do with y'all, it's the first comeback with y'all after his return anyways, we should just help him out, Byungnchan ah. Anyways it's just another week more, let's just help him, I am updating Dongwook hyung his condition so he should be quite stable.." Wooseok said.

"Okay...At least we have Dongwook hyung to help us.." Byungchan nodded.

"Maybe it's better that you know now, then someone can keep an eye on him when doing Victon's activities, anything wrong, we'll just inform Dongwook hyung, is that okay?" Wooseok said.

"Got it... Wait who else knows about it besides us and Dongwook hyung? Do Sunhwa noona know, or Chorong noona?" Byungchan asked.

"They don't know, it's only between us Seungwoo hyung and Dongwook hyung." Wooseok said.
