Yunho raced over to Seonghwas house, quickly pulling up and rushing to the door whilst his boyfriend was carrying his best friend. He hastily knocks on the door, waiting for it to be open. Although he was surprised when he saw Mr.Park open it instead of Seonghwa.

"Quickly, come in boys" The older man ushered them in, already having an inkling of an idea of what was going on. He was a prosecutor, you see. So, he was very familiar with what might be going on. Especially to the chief of the polices' sons. He had some run ins with the man, quite a few actually, and from the moment he introduced himself, he knew there was something off about the man.

Yunho quickly made his way in, Mingi following closely behind. What he saw was extremely unexpected. Hongjoong curled like a kitten on Seonghwas lap, whilst the older gently soothed the sleeping boy.

Once Seonghwa saw the state of Yeosang , he gently passed the boy over to his mother and shot up, running over and snatching him out of Mingis protective hold and laid him down on the sofa.

"..Yeosang..." he sighed, hand stroking the side of his face.

"..Hhhgr..."

"Yeosang? Are you awake?" He said, anxiously waiting for the fluttering eyes to open.

"Move" His father said as he gently pushed his son out of the way, settling down with the medical kit and began to clean the younger.

"Oh, these poor boys" Mrs. Park whispered out sympathetically as she rocked the sleeping boy in her arms.

"Yunho...what happened?...Tell me!" Seonghwa demanded when the younger wouldn't speak.

"It...ah...their father gets drunk and violent. Yeosang does his best to protect Hongjoong, but it just ends up with him beaten"

Seonghwa was pissed when he heard this, shooting up and getting into Yunhos face. "And you knew? And you didn't do anything about it?!" He shouted.

"Seonghwa! Calm down!" His mother scolded.

Mingi quickly stepped in front of his boyfriend. "We've only known since the weekend. Yeosang promised to call if anything happened. And he did. But we weren't...quick enough" Mingi ended his explanation whilst looking down at Yeosangs mottled and bruised face, regret filling his insides.

"...Sangie?"

Damn, he was awake.

"Sangie, need Sangie!" Hongjoong wiggled out of the warm hold, although he wished he could stay in it for longer. But he needed to make sure his brother was okay first.

Making his way over on shaky, uncoordinated legs. He settled down beside Mr. Park as tears began to fall down his pale face. Reaching out his small hands and grasping at his brothers clothes, in hopes of waking him up.

"Hey buddy, Sangie's just asleep, okay? He's going to be fine! But he's just tired now. Shall we get you cleaned up, my lovely?" Yunhos gentle voice came out onc he realised that Seonghwas father needed room to work. Gently settling his hand on the smallers shoulder to not startle him.

Hongjoong glanced up and reached out for Yunho, quickly being lifted up and settled onto his hip. "Sangie sleepy?"

"Yeah Joong-ah, Yeosang is sleepy" He quickly grabbed the butterfly bag he saw laying on the floor and left to go to one of the guest rooms to change the boy into something warmer and get him cleaned.

That was the thing about Seonghwas house, his parents were their parents in a sense. They insisted that they make themselves at home and had always been loving and inviting to those who came around. The sort of parents everyone wished they had.

Back in the lounge, Mr.Park had finished dressing the boys wounds, all they could do now is wait for the boy to wake up.

"Get some sleep guys, we're going to need to sit and talk tomorrow" With that, everyone made their way to their room, or a spare room, Mingi carrying Yeosang to Seonghwas room upon his request. Hongjoong was tucked between Mingi and Yunho as they slept. The two having a protective hold over the older boy.

When tomorrow came, everything would be different.
