The entire swim team watched in a shocked silence for a few minutes after the screaming man had been dragged away by the police, some shocked to witness the array of violence displayed right in front of them towards their vice president. They watched as Win's brothers gently helped him to stand only for the said male to collapse lifelessly against his brothers.

Several voices of concern made itself known as multiple hands reached out to help steady the unmoving man but all except for Dean and Pruk were furiously glared at until they moved away to a safe distance.

Yong and Wad were content to hold their brother's lifeless form while Dean, Pruk and Team's friends were trying to talk to him, desperately trying to get a reaction out of the said young man,

"Guys we need to move, Thara and dad are waiting at home. Both of them needs to get checked over. Thara said Team is most likely to be in shock and Win needs medical attention as soon as possible"

They began to move at Knot's firm yet shaky commands, more or less dragging the two boys to the car. Their drive home was as tensed as ever, minds continuously playing the images of Bright forcefully holding Win's head under water. Knot in particular was even more tensed at the thought of having to face their father, having failed to keep Win from any imminent danger, but it was said and done and he could only hope that the older man wouldn't be too harsh on Win's friends.

The moment they had reached home the sight of their father, along with Thara and their security team came into the view. The boys helped to get gently get Team out of the car and into the house while their father had opted to carry Win in his arms, making a quick work of settling the blond in his bed and letting Thara examine him, the others minus Win's friends standing around in the room nervously,

"He's passed out from the stress. There's no water residue in his lungs so he should be fine as long as he gets rest. I will stick around for a while to monitor his blood oxygen levels just as a precaution. But he absolutely needs to rest more. He is exhausted, stressed and underweight for his age. With everything that has been happening I know he's not been sleeping much or taking actual rest but that has to change"

He held no space for any arguments as he spoke to his family as  they walked towards the guest room where the younger students were huddled around Team,

"Team?"

The boy looked a lot less paler than he did before, they watched as he blinked multiple times and set his eyes on the several occupants in the room, regret clouding his eyes as he finally settled on Win's father,

"Uncle i'm so sorry!"

Dean thanked Win's father's quick reflexes as he jumped to hold Team as he almost stumbled at the pace he stood up,

"Careful now.. this isn't your fault Team. We knew the risks when we agreed to this plan"

Team only shook his head,

"Regardless... I should've protected Hia more"

He was fully prepared for the older man to kick him out for letting his son get hurt despite the fact that they were told multiple times that nothing should happen to Win, but what he didn't expect was for a warm hand to slightly grip the back of his neck and guide his face up so that he was directly look at Win's father,
