"Thanks for the ride man" Seonghwa says with a small grin. Hyunjin nods curtly, he then waves for Seonghwa to leave.

"Yeah yeah, I know how much you hate taking the bus. Now hurry up, I wanna head back" He ushers. Seonghwa rolls his eyes, a smile still on his lips.

They had gone out with a few other friends but as it grew late he knew he had to leave. He promised Hongjoong it would only be for a few hours. Since he didn't drive there he practically had to beg the younger to drive him home.

"Whatever. See ya" He steps out and Hyunjin salutes briefly at the same time Seonghwa slams the door shut. He watches as the car drives off and disappears down the street.

He notices that his mom wasn't home yet, as he had predicted. He makes his way inside with a small yawn. "I'm home" He announces as he twists the house key in the door.

He's first greeted with Chohee on the couch with a tub of cheese balls between her legs, the one their mom purposefully hid away. The TV flashing and lighting up the dark room. The characters singing and he knew it was on the kids network.

He furrows his brows and flicks on the lights. The living room was a disaster. Pillows thrown across the room. The small flower vase on the coffee table tipped over and now on the cream colored carpet. Food crumbs all over the floor and couch.

Chohee looks up at him with wide eyes, lips and fingers covered in cheeto dust. And with all of this Hongjoong was no where to be found. "W-what's going on here?" He demands furiously.

"I watching TB" Chohee speaks in her usual incomprehensible sentence, her cheeto dust covered hand pointing to the TV screen.

"Yeah I see that. Where's Hongjoong?" He makes his way to the kitchen and saw that the state in there wasn't any different.

"In bathroom" She points to the hallway. Seonghwa scoffs under his breath then goes to the bathroom in the hallway. He knocks loudly.

"Hongjoong? You in there?" He asks, he tries not so sound annoyed but he couldn't help it. The house was a disaster and his mom was probably on her way. He knew he was good as dead if she saw the state of her home.

"Y-yeah" Hongjoong croaks out.

"What's going on?" Seonghwa's voice softens when he hears Hongjoong's weak voice through the door. "Are you sick?"

A few moments go by before the door slides open revealing a puffy eyed Hongjoong. The shorter males forces a half smile. "You're back" He speaks and Seonghwa's brows furrows with worry.

"Were you crying? What's wrong? Did you hurt yourself" He begins looking down at Hongjoong's arms to scan for any cuts.

"No, I'm fine. Just tired"

"What happened to the house? It's a mess"

"I- I'm sorry. I shouldn't have agreed to babysit" He dips his head forward once he sees the furious fire in Hongjoong's eyes. "I'm sorry" He apologized again.
