   "Darling?" Hongjoong hums after about an hour of them just cuddling and the other boys coming in and out.

       "Yeah?" Y/N asks after a few beats of silence.

         Hongjoong looks at him/her/them worried. "Are you okay? You still seem dazed?"

         "I still am dazed I think," Y/N responds, almost confused. "Anxiety attacks like that normally drain me for some reason. I'll be fine eventually though."

         "We will help you get there," Hongjoong states, determined. "I promise."

      Hongjoong carefully turns Y/N's head to face his and leans down, placing a soft kiss to his/her/their lips. Y/N kiss back for a few seconds before pulling away, a tired smile on his/her/their face.

        "Thank you," Y/N mutters, laying his/her/their head back on a pillow.

        "No need to thank me," Hongjoong responds. "Now how about you go back to sleep for a little while."

       "Don't you have practice today?" Y/N asks immediately.

       "Yes I'm sorry darling," Hongjoong sighs. "We couldn't get out of it."

      "It's fine," Y/N answers quickly. "But I'm not sleeping until you guys get back."

       "Baby~"

        "It's just a comfort thing," Y/N interrupts. "I promise I will rest though."

       "Okay then," Hongjoong hums. "How about you come and say goodbye to us before we leave?"

         Y/N nods, sluggishly getting up and getting out of bed, Hongjoong following behind him/her/them.

        "Y/N!" Wooyoung excitedly shouts, running up to hug him/her/them softly. "Hi baby."

        "Hi Casanova," Y/N chuckles, pulling away from Wooyoung after a moment or so.

         "Did you come to say bye?" Mingi asks quietly.

        Y/N nods.

         "I promise we will make it back home as soon as humanly possible," Seonghwa assures him/her/them.

       "I know you will Mars," Y/N hums with a small, forced smile.

    "You'll be okay alone right?" Yunho asks worriedly.

     Y/N nods, barely noticeable. "I should be Puppy, don't worry to much."

     "It's hard not to worry," San jumps in. "Considering everything that has happened in the last 48 hours of our lives."

        "We really just want to be able to know you will be okay at all times," Jongho continues for San.

        "Which has been extremely hard to do recently," Yeosang finishes for both of them.

       "I'm sorry about that," Y/N sighs, looking down at the ground. "But I will be okay being alone here for a few hours. I promise."

       "Okay love," Seonghwa nods. "We are going to leave now."

      Seonghwa moves forward and places a soft kiss to Y/N's lips, the others following suit before leaving the dorm with sad goodbyes. Y/N immediately locks the door behind them and heads into the kitchen. Y/N immediately heads over to make some more coffee/tea despite what Seonghwa had said earlier this morning.
