The night was very short. Thoughts were going crazy in the minds of all those living in the dorm. Neither of them really slept last night. Everyone except Hongjoong and the couple sat in the living room half of the night and tried to figure out why the couple, who looked very happy just a few hours ago, had suddenly locked themselves in their room, crying loudly.

Up until this point in time, the two lived as a very open-hearted couple. They weren't afraid of anything, had never released such strong emotions such as crying the whole night.

Nobody of the members dared to say a word. They were all scared. Something must have happened when they were taken out of the studio that morning. Also based on the fact that Wooyoung and San did not come home until relatively late in the evening.

After Seonghwa told everyone to go to sleep the only thing he could do was stay awake and think about the couple's cries. Eventually, he managed to fall asleep at three in the night. The next morning he was the first one to walk into the kitchen. If he sat down on the chair which was two meters away from him at the table and leaned back, he would probably doze off immediately. It was quite late by their standards. Usually they would have gotten up at seven o'clock. Today, however, given the circumstances last night, Seonghwa was the first to get up - shortly after eleven o'clock.

His mind was immediately fixed on the couple again. Did the two get to sleep at all? How were they this morning? Is there anything good he could do? Would they let him in if he knocked again?
All these questions were buzzing around in his head when he suddenly stood in front of Wooyoung's and San's shared room. His legs seemed to have automatically led him on their own.

He knocked on the wooden door. At first he heard nothing, neither noise nor movement. Even a second time, there was no sound from the room. A small sigh left Seonghwa's mouth and he turned to go back to the kitchen. Jongho was standing on the corner to their kitchen - he looked as tired as he himself.

"Try again. At some point they have to open the door for you. After all, you're their best friend. It hurts me to see them like that too." the youngest of all encouraged the oldest of the group.

Jongho is right, Seonghwa thought. He couldn't leave them alone now. He'll have to try again. Otherwise he would have no rest if he didn't try again.
Only seconds later he was back at the door. This time he knocked a little harder on the wood.

"Hey, it's me, Seonghwa. Can you please let me in? You can tell me everything, like really everything. You know that I would never hate you or think badly of you. How many times have I helped you? I'll protect you this time too, whatever pulls you down, but you have to let me in and tell me what's going..." Seonghwa was interrupted by a click sound.

He turned his head to the side where Jongho was still standing and smiled slightly at him. He muttered a little fighting to him and raised his clenched fist in the air.

Seonghwa put his hand on the doorknob and slowly pushed it down. He didn't know what the two of them would look like after a possibly sleepless night. On top of that, they both had to look tear-strained from all the crying.

When Seonghwa entered the room, everything was still quite dark. He closed and locked the door again - they must not want other members inside as he had to literally beg them to open the door for him. He moved towards the window and slowly opened the curtains. As a result of the sudden brightness, he got whining and hidden heads under the white covers. Since both were back in their bed, he did not know which one of them had opened the door for him. Seonghwa slowly sat down on the edge of the large double bed. He knew he was sitting on San's side of the bed from the dyed hair that was peeking out from under the covers.
