"Yunho. Come here and eat.", says Kihyun as he put a plate full of Kimchi fried rice on the table at the back of the bookstore.

Yunho who had been doing his job arranging the new books on the shelves stop and look over to Kihyun.

"Coming hyung."

Yunho came over to the table and sat down. He says thank you to the older boy and Kihyun ruffles his hair before telling him to finish the food or he will spoon feed Yunho until he finishes it.

Yunho blushes and nods as he starts eating.

It's close to 6pm and Yunho was about to get ready to go for his 3rd part time job, a coffee shop around the block.

"I'll see you tomorrow Hyunwoo hyung, Kihyun hyung."

Shownu and Kihyun smile and wave at him and Yunho starts to walk to the coffee shop. He chose this coffee shop as it is a bit far from the university so he won't have to meet his classmates or Mingi and the boys. They all usually come to the one that's nearer to the university.

Yunho walks into the coffee shop and instantly he heard a happy voice,

"Hello Yunho!"

"Hi Jeonghan hyung.", says Yunho as Jeonghan comes up to him and hugs him like he usually does and Yunho can't do anything but to hug back though he smiles slightly.

"Yah Hannie, Yunho barely came inside and you already hugged him like you didn't see him yesterday. Why didn't you hug me like that?"Seungcheol says, amused by his boyfriend's antics. Jeonghan just puffs out his cheeks and turns around to see Seungcheol smirk before he goes to Seungcheol and slaps lightly at his chest.

"It's because Yunho is my son and you can't do anything about it. Hmph.", says Jeonghan before he went back to his work cleaning the tables inside the shop.

Yunho blushes slightly before he goes over to the back of the shop to put his backpack and retrieve his apron before coming out to the coffee making station.

Seungcheol went up to Yunho and ruffle Yunho's hair saying,

"Hey pup, today is somewhat a relaxing day so don't work too hard kay. You can even do your assignments unless customers come in."

Yunho nodded and gave a small smile to Seungcheol.

Half an hour later, Yunho was doing his assignments in his laptop (the only laptop since 3 years ago) when he heard a door chimes signalling a customer had walked in. Yunho saved his work and went to stand up and walk to the cash station to take the customer orders.

What he didn't expect was someone or rather two people he had tried so hard to not come in contact with are standing in front of him.

"Y-Yunho?"

Yunho had begun to feel slightly anxious as he took in the form in front of him.

"H-hello Seonghwa hyung.. W-what can I get you?"

Seonghwa can't seem to find his words as he looks over Yunho. Rather than feeling angry, he somewhat starts to feel sorry for how Yunho looks right now. Very thin and very prominent eye bags.

"Look Hwa, I told you that I didn't feel right to go in here. Looks like I'm right.", says Hongjoong as he frowns up at Yunho.

Yunho cast his eyes downwards and tears started swelling in his eyes but he tried to control it.

Seonghwa saw this and he slap Hongjoong's arm and told him to shut up.

"Uh.. One Ice Latte please Yunho ah.", says Seonghwa, smiling slightly.

Yunho silently nodded and told Seonghwa the price and Seonghwa paid it. Then Yunho went over to make the order while he tried and failed to keep his hands from trembling. He had to take a few deep breaths so he could concentrate on making Seonghwa's drink.

Meanwhile, Seonghwa and Hongjoong have a hushed conversation nearby.

"Can't you see how thin he is Joongie? I know that all of us are still mad at him but please don't be rude. He was about to cry when you said those words just now."

"So? He breaks Mingi's heart and slept with someone else."

Seonghwa sighs. He of course is still a bit angry towards Yunho but sometimes when he thinks about it rationally, that night when they found Yunho, he remembers that Yunho was in distress and he keeps telling them to listen to him only for one of the members to shout back at him.

"Look, Mingi have all of us to cry on. Not one of us went to Yunho and listened to his side of the story. I heard from several people who were in Yunho's class that Yunho now doesn't have anyone to talk to and they also sometimes saw Yunho rushing in and out of the class most of the time. Have you seen his eyebags Joong? Even Mingi is still looking healthy as he is."

"Oh come on, he must have gone back to his parents house Hwa. They love him so much you know."

"Did Yunho tell you that Joong? Don't make an assumption."

Hongjoong was a little stunned by the words and he carefully looked over to Yunho and he saw how Yunho's hands kept trembling and how he took deep breaths from time to time. As he can see Yunho without the younger knowing about it, he finds out that Yunho indeed has become thin.

Feeling a bit worried now he sighs silently.

"So what are we going to do then?" ask Hongjoong.

Seonghwa shrugs helplessly, "I don't know. Maybe we can ask Yunho his side of the story but only when he wants too Joong. Look at him. I can practically see he is about to faint from all the nervousness. You do know how soft he is right?"

"I know.."

Hongjoong sighs and keeps watching Yunho making Seonghwa's drink.

Yunho had finished making Seonghwa's drink and he nervously took the cup and went to them.

"H-here you go hyung."

Seonghwa takes the drink from Yunho and smiles, "Thank you Yunho".

"How are you doing Yunho ah?", says Hongjoong, suddenly making the other two look at him in shock.

Yunho stammered in a soft voice, "I-I'm fine Joong hyung. How are you guys?"

How's Mingi?

Hongjoong shrug, "We're fine. The others are too. I thought you only have a job at the tea house. Why are you working here then? Have you quit the other job?"

Yunho bite his lips as he shakes his head and replies in a small voice, "N-no, I have three jobs now.."

This information had shocked both Hongjoong and Seonghwa. They knew how hard Yunho's major is so with the classes and assignments on top of the three jobs they are now curious as to why Yunho did it.

"Why?" says Seonghwa as he has a dread feeling in his chest.

"I need the money." says Yunho.

"Why though? I thought your father paid all your fees?" says Hongjoong.

At the mention of his father, tears once again swelling in Yunho's eyes. Both Hongjoong and Seonghwa saw this and they finally let go of their anger towards Yunho. The sight of seeing Yunho trying his best not to let the tears fall diminished all the remaining rage.

"I-I.. T-they.. I-it's nothing.. M-my father just told me to pay the fees from now on.." says Yunho while still trying not to let his tears fall.

Seonghwa and Hongjoong knew that was not the right answer but they didn't push Yunho on. They are extremely worried now as the fees are not cheap at all.

"It's fine if you don't want to tell us right now Yunho. Just.. watch for your health please..", says Seonghwa worriedly.

"I-I will hyung.."

After that Seonghwa and Hongjoong smile slightly at Yunho and went out of the coffee shop. Yunho visibly relaxed as his hyungs didn't question him more. He didn't think he could tell them without breaking down again.

As the following hours, no more awkward incidents happen and Yunho finally put his apron down and took his laptop and put it in his backpack before going out of the backroom to go to his night class. He told the other two goodbye as he walked out of the coffee shop.

Yunho sighs while walking towards his university. Too much has been happening today and he can feel his body shutting down but he can't afford to just skip another class today so he works up his courage and goes to his class.

Fortunately the class had gone by without a hitch but Yunho had been feeling unwell since the start of the class. His headaches are now making his ears ringing from time to time and he has been feeling a little bit cold despite wearing a somewhat thick hoodie.

I still have to go home.. I really want to sleep.. But I haven't finished my assignments yet..

Sighing, Yunho starts to walk to the bus station. He didn't feel like walking with how exhausted he is feeling right now.

The bus arrived just in time Yunho arrived at the bus station. He hopped on and went to the back of the bus and sat down. He laid his head onto the window on his right and sighed again. He can't believe that he met Hongjoong and Seonghwa today. After half a year avoiding them, Yunho realizes how he misses all of them so much. Tears once again welling up in his eyes and he didn't even have the energy to control it as the tears fell on his pale cheeks.

His hand trembles slightly as he tries to open his door. Yunho took off his shoes and went to his table and put his backpack down beside it.

Yunho then went to his bed and fell on top of it, sighing. He felt so tired yet he still had a few assignments that he had to finish.

Yunho then went over to his table and sat on the chair, pulling out his laptop and starting on his assignment. Yunho had begun to cough bit by bit but he didn't register because he was focusing on his assignment.

It was 2am when he had finished all his assignments and Yunho just wanted to sleep. He went to his bathroom to shower first and after changing into a long sleeved shirt, he went to his bed and slept.
