"Thank you!"

"We love you!"

"See you soon!"

    As the lights dimmed, the members of Ateez' smiles were bright. The rush they felt from performing started to fade, leaving the members happily tired. They knew the exhaustion was caused by a job well done. For one member, however, the exhaustion meant little space.

    Because of their seating arrangement, this time they took two vans, Seonghwa and Hongjoong were separated. Little Hongjoong was unaware of this fact. I can last until we get home, then I can slip... Was what he thought. But even after they got home, Seonghwa was nowhere to be seen. The urge to slip slowly took over and he gave in. Looking all over the house, Hongjoong couldn't find Seonghwa anywhere. He sunk down onto the floor in the living room, curling his arms around his knees.

    Yunho came walking into the room, checking something on his phone. "Hey Hongjoong, the others- what's wrong?" the tall boy asked, eyebrows furrowed. "Where's Hwa?" Hongjoong asked, looking up from his spot on the floor. "That's what I was just gonna tell you, the others went to get groceries and got a flat tire on their way back. They won't be home for a bit... Are you okay?" Yunho asked once more. "I need Hwa..." he said quietly, burying his face in his knees.

Yunho was beyond confused.

    Trying his best to figure out what was happening, Yunho sat down next to the little. "Well... Seonghwa will be here soon, don't worry!" he said, wrapping an arm around the sniffling boy. "Wan' Hwa..." he cried softly while leaning into the touch. Yunho, while still confused, laid his head on top of Hongjoong's, cuddling the sad boy. Hongjoong sat there, crying softly for a good hour before he tired himself out.

    Hongjoong sat there, mumbling on and on about Seonghwa, leaving Yunho confused. Slowly but surely, Hongjoong fell asleep. Yunho picked the sleeping boy up, carrying him to his bed.

    Seonghwa was jittery. He was positive Hongjoong had slipped and was kicking himself for not being there. "How far are we now?" San, Wooyoung, and Jongho all groaned. That was all Seonghwa had been asking for the past fifteen minutes. "Seonghwa, we'll get there when we get there! Stop asking!" San said, covering his ears dramatically. "Sorry, it's just-" Jongho cut him off. "Bro, no excuses. You just wanna see Hongjoong!" he sing-songed, lightly punching the flustered boy. "I- No I- It's just-" "I- nO i- It'S jUsT- You know we're right!"

    For the rest of the ride, Seonghwa stayed silent. Once they got to the dorm, Seonghwa was the first out of the car. The others shared a look and took their time getting out of the car. "I wonder how long they're gonna take..." "Wanna bet?"

    Seonghwa rushed inside, throwing his shoes off, and went to find his little. Walking through the dorm, he finally made his way to Hongjoong's room. "Joongie?" he called softly, peeking his head around the door. Seeing the sleeping boy, Seonghwa quieted down and slowly, he made his way over. Sitting down on the edge of Hongjoong's bed, Seonghwa brushed the hair from his little's face. He noticed the red rings around Hongjoong's eyes, immediately feeling guilty.

    A small groan was heard, Hongjoong's face screwing up as he slowly woke. "Hey sleepy head, rise and shine!" Seonghwa said quietly, brushing his fingers through the littles hair. "Hwa?" Hongjoong mumbled, reaching out to be held. His caregiver smiled, pulling Hongjoong into his lap and hugging him. "How are you feeling?" he asked the little. "Sad... But now 'm happy... 'Cause Hwa's here." Hongjoong mumbled into Seonghwa's shoulder. "Well that's good, I'm sorry I wasn't here." Hongjoong smiled softly. "I's okay Hwa, I forgive you!" he said cutely, hugging his caregiver tightly.

    After some minutes of just sitting there and cuddling, Seonghwa got the midnight munchies. "I'm hungry, are you?" he asked Hongjoong. The boy was playing a simple game on Seonghwa's phone. "I have dino nuggets?" he asked, looking up at Seonghwa. "Of course, let's go."

The two set off for the kitchen.

    Seonghwa helped Hongjoong up onto the counter, putting the demanded nuggets in the oven. Deciding he would have what Hongjoong was having, he walked over to the distracted boy. Settling himself between the boy's legs, Seonghwa watched as the little's eyes lit up at the small characters on the screen. He was watching a cartoon about a princess from another dimension. "Joongieee!" Seonghwa called playfully, trying to get the boys attention. "Yes, Hwa?" he replied, eyes not leaving the screen. "Joongie!" Seonghwa whined, leaning forward and resting his head on Hongjoong's chest. "Wha?" the little replied, pausing his show.

"I love youuu!"

    Hongjoong giggled quietly, "I love you too!" he said, hugging his caregiver. Seonghwa's heart fluttered at the gesture. He slowly wrapped his arms around his little, soaking in the warmth of the hug.

Pitter-Patter went his poor heart.
