I woke up to a knock on the door, shuffling awake to find Youngjo's sleeping body. I sat up in the bed, fixed my hair a bit, and sighed. "Come in!" I hollered and the door practically bust open. Manager Hyung stood there with his eyes wide and his face laking its normal color. My heart dropped and I knew it had to be bad.

"Get him up. She- she told the press this morning. I contacted her company and they said that she had done it against their will.." As Manager Hyung spoke I tried to softly shake Youngjo awake. As his eyes opened his eyebrows furrowed. This definitely wasn't the best way to wake up. "We're putting the both of you on a short break from work, and we suggest not paying too close attention to the news.. We'll take care of what needs to be said from us..." Manager Hyung trailed off. "In the meantime, maybe you guys should go visit your families." The elder gave a weak-hearted smile before nodding himself off.

Youngjo sat up and looked at me with a worried face. "She told everyone," I said trying not to cry from the shock and fear. Youngjo pulled me in for a hug and I felt a painful lump form in my throat. "Let's go visit our parents, pack your bags baby boy.." Youngjo hummed with a soft sigh as he leaned in to kiss my cheek. We were about to possibly lose our careers and he was trying to kiss me on the cheek?

Without really thinking, I put my hands on both sides of his face and lined his lips up with mine. I felt him relax into the kiss, reaching up to cup my cheek. After almost a minute we both pulled away, panting for air. I glanced down at my boxers to make sure be couldn't see my semi. He pulled himself off the bed with a small sigh as he stood up. He walked over to his closet and started to pull out some outfits, so I did the same, packing up a good week's worth of clothes and supplies.

Once we were done we came out into the living room with our bags. Everyone was sitting on the couches on their phones probably looking through the news. I sighed, sitting next to Dongju as I set my stuff down. The maknae stopped and looked at me with a soft expression. "It's gonna be just fine Ungie." He hummed soothingly as he leaned his head on my shoulder. I leaned into him as well, thinking about what everyone would be saying.

Just then, the manager came out of his room on the phone. "Alright, they'll be out in 5.. No, thank you Sunbae, bye." The elder hung up the phone and looked up at Youngjo and I, "'You guys ready?" He asked with a faint smile. Youngjo and I just nodded and I stood up. Dongju stood up right after me, pulling me into a tight hug. "Take care of yourself." He hummed, giving me a little pat on the back.

"Let's go." Youngjo took my hand, intertwining our fingers. Manager Hyung lead us out the door and down the hall before Youngjo reached over with his free hand, tapping the elder on the shoulder. He looked back. "Is this alright?" Youngjo asked, lifting our intertwined hands and pointing to them. Manager Hyung thought for a second before looking at us with a soft expression.

"Yeah.. Sure." He turned back around and we continued our way down and out of the dorm. Of course, the press was waiting outside for us, but this time I felt so much more nervous. They took lots of pictures and neither us nor Manager Hyung said anything to them. The manager lead us to a nice looking car and helped us put our stuff in the trunk. As Youngjo and I got in the back seat of the car, we watched Manager Hyung disappear into the sea of paparazzi.

"You guys just sit tight, we'll have you to Yongjin in no time." The driver gave a friendly smile before turning forward in his seat and driving away. I looked out the window as we passed through the people. That's when Youngjo reached over me, pulling down the blinds on the window. "Hey.." He leaned in towards my ear, "How about you take a nap baby boy, I'll wake you when we get close." He whispered before pulling away and patting softly on his thigh.
