9th member; of Stray Kids

No tears

"We're not gonna cry in front of him. Remember what the doctor said, we can't stress him. No tears inside there." EunTae said to the members, after Changbin's parents left the room and it was their turn to see Changbin. The others nodded as EunTae knocked on the door and let the others inside first. 

"Kids." His voice was raspy and he looked really weak and tired, but he still smiled at his members. Changbin smiled widely when he saw all of them, maybe more than when he saw his parents. 

"Dude-" Everyone's attention turned to their manager, who gave them their back quickly, as his voice cracked, after he broke down and started sobbing like a child. 

"What happened to the no crying rule?" Hyunjin looked at him weirdly, and everyone couldn't help but laugh as they heard Changbin laughing too from his place on the bed. 

"Oh come here all of you." Chan walked over to him, but was pushed by EunTae who rushed to Changbin, pulling him into a strong but soft hug, as he cried. 

"BinBin-" 

"I think now we know that EunTae has favorites." Jisung whispered to Suri and Minho and they nodded as the rolled their eyes. As much as everyone wanted to cry they still couldn't help but grin knowing that Changbin was back between them. Even Felix, he was smiling, he didn't feel like crying anymore, Changbin didn't like when he cried. 

"I missed you too TaeTae." Changbin laughed, as he tried to hug his manager back but failed. 

"The others were annoying, so annoying. Its felt like I wanted to kill-" 

"Okay, Manager. That's enough. I guess we deserve some love from our Binnie here." Seungmin said as he pulled EunTae away from a laughing Changbin. 

"Welcome back, you stupid ass." Seungmin hugged Changbin, and then Jeongin, Minho and Hyunjin followed him, taking turns. 

"You're stupid, so stupid that it feels like I want to punch you so hard that you'll get back into another fucking coma, but I can't." Felix said, hardly holding back his tears. "I know we shouldn't be stressing you out, but I've been a mess without you. Don't do that again." Changbin couldn't help but cry too, this time he pushed himself off the bed, so he could hug Felix back, both of them crying in each other arms. 

"I'm so sorry." 

"You're so stupid, why are you apologising. Its not your fault, stop crying why are you crying?" Felix pulled away from the hug to wipe Changbin's tears off his face. 

"You made him cry." Suri couldn't help but cry too, as she walked over to Changbin pulling him into a hug, as she cried too with him and Felix. "Don't cry, Binnie. We're fine, you're fine too." Her voice cracked as she hugged her best friend, and felt him nod between her arms. 

The two smiled at each other through tears as they pulled away, leaving room for Chan and Jisung. "I told you to take a rest from writing songs, never meant it that way." Chan said as he hugged the younger and the both chuckled. 

"I guess I just wanted a long rest this time." Changbin joked and they both couldn't help but chuckle again. As they pulled away Jisung moved to Changbin with a sigh. 

"Its been awhile, man." 

"How have you been little squirrel?" Jisung chuckled, pulling Changbin closer. 

"A lot happened, Bin. A lot." Jisung smiled as he pulled away from Changbin who raised both eyebrows at him, before giving him a cheeky grin. 

"How have you guys been. Its been a while." Changbin sighed as he leaned on Suri who was now sitting beside him on the bed. 

"Nothing much happened." Suri said and the smirk on Chan's face didn't go unnoticed by Changbin. 

"We'll definitely talk later, Bin. You just need to rest for now." Minho said, as he pulled Suri away from Changbin. 

"I've been resting for almost 30 days. A month Lee Know." 

"He's right, Changbin. You need to rest for now, and we'll come tomorrow. So don't worry." EunTae said and Changbin couldn't help but groan, loudly. 

"Fine." Chan leaned to hug his friend one more time, before pulling the others with him out of the room. 

"Take care of yourself, Binnie."
