Hongjoong and Seonghwa woke up to the two of their members yelling at each other. Hwa groaned and put the pillow over his head, but it didn't do much. Joong groaned and sat up. He got out of bed and walked out. "I told you I didn't touch him, " Yunho said. "YOU WHERE IN MY ROOM AND THE SECOND YOU LEFT SHINER WAS GONE!" San yelled. Shiber was San's fox plushy. He took Shiber with him everywhere he went even on tours and vacations like this one. Hongjoong stepped in between then and pushed them back a little. "What's going on? " he asked his voice full of anger. "Yunho took Shiber, " San blurted out. "No I didn't I was helping Mingi with the dishes, " Yunho barked back. "Why where you in my room? " San asked. "To get my charger that you forgot to give back to me, " Yunho replied. "Then how did Shiber end up missing!? " San yelled. "Will you two shut up already!?" The three men turned to their maknae. He looked very tired and had bags under his eyes. "I've been up all night and I don't feel good; your yelling isn't helping," Jongho said.
San and Yunho walked to the living room. Hongjoong walked up to Jongho and put his hand on his forehead. "You're burning up," Joong said. He lead Jongho back to his room. Wooyoung and Yeosang walked past Hongjoong and Jongho but stopped after seeing how bad Jongho looked. "Are you okay? " Woo asked. "He's running a fever, I'm putting him to bed, " Joong replied. Yeo rested his hand the maknae's shoulder. "Feel better buddy, " he said. Jongho nodded and sniffed a little.
Wooyoung and Yeosang walked into the kitchen and sat at the table waiting for breakfast, which was being made by Seonghwa. "Morning you two," Hwa said without taking his eyes off of the stove. "Morning have you seen San? " Yeosang asked. "No why? " Seonghwa questioned. "You know what he was yelling at Yunho about, right?" Yeosang asked. Hwa glanced back and shook his head. "Shiber, his fox plushy, I found him," Yeosang said.
San walked in the kitchen and sat beside Wooyoung. "Hey San look who I found," Yeosang said. He held up San's fox plushy. "Where did you find him!?" San asked as he grabbed Shiber from Yeosang's grasp. "In the laundry room," Yeo replied. San hugged his plushy tightly refusing to let it go.
Seonghwa set a bowl of noodles in front of Yeosang and Wooyoung. Grabbing another one he put in front of San. Just as he was about to make more Jongho's coughs filled the entire house and then stopped. "Poor Jongho," Woo said. "I'll go check on him later," Hwa said. "Don't bother he's out now." The four turned to Hongjoong who just walked into the kitchen. "It sucks, we had plans today," Joong said. "We did?" Wooyoung asked. Hongjoong set 8 V.I.P tickets on the table in front of them.
Yeosang grabbed one and read it slowly. "Joyland?" he said looking at Joong. "Yeah, I thought it would be fun to go to an amusement park and enjoy ourselves, but with Jongho being sick we really can't," Hongjoong said. "Well this says it can be used for 3 weeks, we just have to hope Jongho is better by then," Yeo said. Wooyoung picked one up and flipped it around. "It says there's a group called Stray Kids, around our ages too," Woo said. "They're preforming next week," Seonghwa added. San looked at the ticket then to Joong and smiled. "I say we go to meet them maybe we can make friends," he suggested.
Yunho walked in and he glanced at everyone and scoffed at San. "Told you I never touched it," he said. San looked up at Yunho and stood up, "Yunho I'm sorry," San said. There was an awkward silence in the room. "Yunho," San said grabbing his sleeve and tugging it. Yunho yanked his arm back and walked out of the kitchen.
"Wow San, you really made him mad," Mingi said walking in. "He's even refusing to talk to me." San sighed and looked away from Mingi. "Give him time," Seonghwa said.
Hongjoong walked into the room seeing Jongho leaning off the side of the bed staring in a trash can. "Feel better?" Hongjoong asked. Jongho groaned in response. He didn't talk for a good 20 minutes. Hwa walked in a few seconds later with a bowl of noodles. Jongho smiled and took the bowl. "This will help settle your stomach," Seonghwa said. Jongho slowly leaning back against the headboard. "Thank you Seonghwa," Jongho said. Hwa nodded and sat on the other side of the bed. "Feeling any better?" Seonghwa asked. Jongho finished his noodles and nodded a little. "A little, but I'd really like to sleep right now," he replied. Joong and Hwa nodded. Hongjoong took the bowl and walked out. Seonghwa followed him.
San sat in his room that he currently shared with Yunho. He sat on his bed and curled into a ball. "I'm sorry," San said in a low and soft voice. Yunho looked behind him and shook his head. "Why did you accuse me?" Yunho asked. San rolled over to Yunho and sighed. "I don't know," San replied. Yunho scoffed as Mingi walked in. "Oh, I'll come back later," he said awkwardly stepping back. "Yunho hyung I." "I don't care," Yunho interrupted him and got up. He walked out of the room bumping into Mingi. With a scoff he walked passed him. "Dude you really have to apologize to him," Mingi said walking in. San sighed pulled the blanket over his head.
Joong sat on the couch beside Yeosang while Wooyoung sat in between them on the floor. Yunho sat on the couch on the other side Yeosang. "Still mad at San?" Hongjoong asked. "Yes, but I think I hurt his feelings," Yunho said. He looked down at his hands and starting twisting his ring on his fingers. "You can't stay mad at him forever," Yeosang said. Yunho knew he was right. San was a good friend, but Yunho wasn't acting like a good one. He got up and went back to the room.
Jongho laid in his bed and rolled around moaning at the pain. He couldn't sleep. "Wooyoung hyung!" he shouted with a low raspy voice. Just as quickly as he was called Woo walked in. "What is it Jongho?" he asked his voice full of concern. Jongho sat up a little. "Can I have some water?" Jongho asked. Wooyoung nodded and smiled him. "Sure be back," Wooyoung said. Just before he left Jongho stopped him. "Can you turn off the light Hyung?" he asked. Wooyoung flicked the switch. The room willed with darkness. Wooyoung walked out to get Jongho a glass of water.
Hongjoong and Seonghwa gathered some money and the keys. "Where are you going?" Woo asked. "We're going to the store to get Jongho some medicine," Seonghwa replied. Wooyoung nooded and smiled at them. He grabbed a cup and turned the tap filling the cup with water. He quickly walked back to Jongho's room. "Jongho, I got your water," Wooyoung said setting it on the night stand. "Thanks," Jongho said. He was half asleep. Wooyoung stepped out bumping into Yunho. "Oh sorry Yunho, are you okay?" Wooyoung asked. "Have you seen San? I need to talk to him," Yunho said. Wooyoung shook his head. "Try the room you share with him," Wooyoung said.
Yunho nodded and opened the door to his left. "San?" he said softly. San laid on his bed with his back turned to the door. "San can we talk?" Yunho asked. He stepped in and sat on the chair beside him. "I'm sorry for over reacting, I was out of line," Yunho said. San sniffed and sighed. "I tried to apologize to you," San said. "I know, I know I never meant to hurt you," Yunho said. San sat up his back still facing Yunho. "Are you sure you're sorry?" San asked. Yunho was shocked by San's question. He felt so bad. He got up and sat beside San, but San moved away. "I am sorry, I'll just let you be now, talk to me when you're ready," Yunho said. He got up and walked toward the door. "Yunho, thank you," San said. Yunho turned around to San and smiled.
Yeosang laid half off the couch and sighed. "I'm so bored," Mingi said. "Me too," Wooyoung said. San walked into the room and rubbed his arm. He'd just got back from checking on Jongho. There was a worried look on his face. "San what's wrong?" Yeosang asked sitting up. "It's Jongho, he's not doing well," San said. Wooyoung stop up and stepped closer to San. "What do mean?" Woo asked. San looked away and took a deep breath.
"He's coughing up blood and moaning like he's in pain, he said he felt like his insides where being ripped out," San said.
"SAN!" The four men looked toward the door and ran to it. San swung the door open. "Yunho what's wrong?" San asked concerned. Yunho looked up with teary eyes. "He's not responding. " San bent down placing two fingers on Jongho's neck. "He's alive, but what happened? " San asked. "I don't know, he said he need to use the bathroom so I helped him up and then he passed out," Yunho said. Mingi lifted Jongho's head. The boys picked him up and laid him on the bed.
After a few minutes Hwa and Joong came back. Sanie ran up to them his eyes filled with tears. "San what's wrong? " Joong asked. "J-Jongho he passed out and he hasn't woken up yet," San said trying to speak. "What!" Hongjoong dropped the bag and ran to Jongho's room.
"Jongho?" he said softly. He didn't respond. Hongjoong turned Jongho over to face him. He had dark circles around his eyes almost looking decayed and his breath was faint. "Jongho," Hongjoong said again. There was still no responce. "What's wrong with him?" Wooyoung asked tears streaming down his face. Joong looked back at him. He didn't know what to say. He wanted to tell him something that would reassure Woo but he couldn't lie to him.
"I don't know," Joong responded. The boys gasped a little and hung their low. "Let's go talk in the living room," Hwa said.
Just as they were about leave there was a small gentle voice. "Hyungs?" The boys turned to him. "Jongho how are you feeling? " Hongjoong asked with a smile. "I'm better," the maknae replied. San kneeled beside Joong and smiled at Jongho. "I'm so glad you're okay," he said with tears in his eyes. Jongho sat up and got out of bed. "That amusements park sounds good," he said. "We can't go today, but we can tomorrow," Hongjoong said. Jongho nodded and sat down.
The other members walked out of Jongho's room other than Yeosang and Mingi. They shared the room with him.
