It's been a few hours since Younghoon and I have stayed at the hospital, desperately waiting for good news from the doctor about Sunwoo; none of the hospital staff were saying anything about Sunwoo, it was clear he wasn't going to wake up any time soon; but I was determined to stay until he could wake up.

Until then, once he wakes up, I'll leave him alone. I truly dislike him after what he said to me, I really do; but it doesn't mean I can't care for his well being. I just need him to be okay, for the sake of the guys because I know they're all worried sick.

I don't think I could ever find myself talking to him comfortably after what happened; his words really did hurt me, it left a scar on my heart and I hate myself for letting him do so.

The feelings for him weren't so strong in the first place, I was slowly falling for him; I know I can get over him if I put my mind to it, I've already lost some feelings for him after everything that has happened between us.

"Sunwoo's always had a short temper," Younghoon sighs. "Even as a kid, he used to always get mad whenever we joked about him."

"You guys have been friends since kids?" I look at him with curiosity, and he smiles.

"Yeah. All of us have. We grew up together, haven't been inseparable since." His smile turns a bit sad.

"I'm sorry." I gulp.

"For what, Jihyun?"

"I can't help but feel like everything is my fault. I want you guys to make up again, I would never forgive myself if you guys won't." I frown.

"Nothing is your fault, Jihyun. You didn't do anything wrong, don't beat yourself up." Younghoon says to me.

"Maybe it was a bad idea being friends with you all, if it wasn't for me, none of this would've happened."

"Don't say that..." his voice becomes sad. "You mean a lot to us, and we're glad to have you in our group. Jihyun, nothing is your fault, it was a great idea that you became friends with us." He squeezes my thigh gently.

"We've always been wanting to be friends with you. Eric speaks really highly of you ever since we were children. We were eager to meet you, and now we're totally happy that you're our best friend." He grins at me.

"Are you sure it's not my fault? I feel horrible," I sigh.

"If it was your fault, we would've stopped talking to you already. But we're still here, right?" He assures me. "Don't feel bad, Jihyun. You did nothing wrong."

"How will I convince Eric to make up with Sunwoo? It's clear he hates Sunwoo's guts as of right now." I frown again.

"They always make up. We all fight over stupid shit, but we all make up. I have to admit, it never went this far to the point where they fought each other, but I'm positive that they will forgive each other. Just give it some time." He assures me again.

"What if they don't make up?" I start to worry even more.

"We'll just force them." Younghoon smiles at me again. "But hey, are you hungry? It's 8 already."

"No, I'm not hungry." I shake my head, saying no.

"I brought snacks, they're in my bag. Just tell me whenever you want something." He looks at me.

"You came prepared, huh?" I chuckle softly.

"I was worried that you'd crave snacks, since you threw up earlier and didn't eat much. Hospital food is disgusting.." he frowns a bit.

"I'll be okay, Younghoon." I assure him.

"At 10, we should go home. He's old enough to stay here by himself, and the doctors will call us if anything." He looks at me with a serious expression.

"I can stay here..." I mumble.

"You shouldn't, you can't, and you won't. You have to go home and rest, Jihyun. We can always come back tomorrow morning." He shakes his head immediately.

"But, Younghoon, he needs someone here.." I frown.

"You're worrying a bit too much, Jihyun." He chuckles softly. "He'll be okay, he's in hospital care. If he needed someone with him, the doctor would have said so."

"Okay.." I nod hesitantly.

My phone began buzzing in my pocket from text notifications. It was from Eric, but in our own private chat.

ERIC
