When Jisung woke up, Chan sat next to him in bed and seemed to ponder.

"Good morning my angel," Jisung murmured and had to smile. He loved to call Chan that.

Surprised, Chan looked up. He hadn't noticed at all that Jisung had woken up. "Good morning, baby," he said quietly and immediately snuggled up to the younger one.

"Everything all right?" Jisung asked quietly and gently painted invisible circles on Chan's belly.

"I don't know..." Chan whispered and hid his face, sighing at Jisung's shoulder.

He wanted to be strong for the younger one and give him support, but actually he just felt terrible. Changbin had been such an important part of his life for so long and he couldn't handle the whole situation well.

He laboriously suppressed a sob and pressed himself against Jisung.

"Maybe you should talk to him again," Jisung said quietly. He wanted to help Chan so bad, but didn't know exactly what to do.

"I don't know how to deal with him right now...," Chan whispered unhappily.

"Understandable..."

They just stay cuddled up to each other for quite a while and Jisung tried his best to be there for the older one.

Just when he was sure that Chan had fallen asleep again, the older's phone rang and scared them both up.

Annoyed, Chan picked up his phone and answered the call.

Jisung could hear how the caller screamed at Chan and saw how the older one became paler and paler.

"Yes, I'm on my way immediately...," Chan murmured and ended the call.

Sighing, Chan closed his eyes and leaned against Jisung for a moment before he got up. "I have to go to the studio... our manager is pretty angry and I don't know why."

Uncertain, Jisung watched him while Chan hurriedly got dressed and disappeared from the bedroom.

He was just thinking about whether he should get up and follow him when Chan came back and pulled him to himself.

Sighing, Chan buried his hands in the younger's hair and pressed himself against him. "I'm sorry... I didn't imagine the day like that," he murmured.

"It's okay.. I'll call Jinnie and ask if he has time," Jisung said quietly and pressed his lips on the older one's.

"I love you baby...! Oh, wait a minute.." Chan abruptly detached himself from him and disappeared, which left Jisung speechless and thoughtful.

But when Chan came back into the bedroom shortly afterwards with a key in his hand, the whole thing made sense.

"You probably don't even know where you belong at the moment.. where your home is... not that I could really take the feeling away from you, but at least I can make sure that you can feel completely at home here. And that includes that you can come and go as you like," Chan explained after pulling the younger one back into his arms.

"And that's exactly why I call you an angel..." Jisung murmured and wiped away the tear that ran down his cheek. "I love you too!"

Unhappy, smiling, Chan gave Jisung the key, kissed him one last time and then left the apartment with a terrible feeling in his stomach.

Jisung snuggled back into bed with a sigh and closed his eyes.

Actually, he would have liked to spend the day in bed with Chan until he had to go to work. The fact that he was now alone in bed and pondered about what Chan would expect felt terrible and at the same time he felt damn lonely.

But since he didn't want to annoy Hyunjin, since they had already spent so much time together in the last few days, he didn't call him, even if he would have needed it to be able to cuddle up to him.

He tried to relax and do breathing exercises in order to be able to fall asleep again, but it didn't really work.

Sighing, he put on his headphones and pulled the pillow over his head.

Suddenly someone lay on top of him and even if somewhere his head was the thought that it could only be Chan, panic flooded his body.

He tried to free himself almost desperately, but he had the feeling that he could no longer breathe and his breath faltered.

Just when he was sure to lose consciousness and his defense attempts came to a standstill, the pillow was pulled away from his head and the blurred outlines of Hyunjin appeared in his field of vision.

Theeping, he struggled for air and beat for the elder. "Fuck man! You almost scared me to death, you fucking asshole!"

Scared, Hyunjin stared at him. He hadn't intended to frighten the younger one so much. "Oh my God, sorry baby!"

Before Jisung could respond anything, Hyunjin bent over to him and pressed his lips on those of the younger one.

Their kiss lasted longer than usual and only when Hyunjin noticed that Jisung was clearly relaxing did he break away from him.

"Excuse me, honey! I really didn't want to scare you so much!" he murmured, cupped the younger's face and placed another gentle kiss on his lips before he sat uncertainly next to him.

"Come here, you dumbass," Jisung said quietly and raised the duvet so that Hyunjin could crawl under it.

He snuggled up to him and wrapped his arms around the waist of the younger one.

"Jinnie...?" Jisung whispered.

"Yes, my darling?"

"Changbin kissed Chan... and I... phew.. no idea... I..." he took a deep breath before he continued speaking. "I like to kiss you... and Chan said he has no problem with it... then why does it feel so terrible that Changbin kissed him?"

That made Hyunjin smile and he gently stroked Jisung's back. "Because you love him," he said with a smile.

"Does that mean that Chan doesn't love me?" he whispered and tears gathered in his eyes.

"Oh, baby. No! It probably only means that he is either less jealous, or has more trust in Lix, you and me. And it's understandable that you maybe have less trust in Changbin. You've already been through a lot and maybe it's just a bit harder for you to trust," Hyunjin muttered.

Jisung nodded hesitantly and then sighed unhappy.

"You will learn to trust him. And at some point the time will come when you will be able to deal with all the feelings and confrontations more easily."

Yawning, Hyunjin pulled the younger to him and he snuggled up to him.

"I'm glad you're my best friend, Jinnie," Jisung said quietly, putting his head on Hyunjin's shoulder.

"I... wow.. Thank you for allowing me to take the place," Hyunjin said in a thick voice and couldn't help but bend to Jisung and kiss him gently. "Thank you for being my best friend!" he finally said after he broke away from the younger one.

Jisung snuggled closer to him and closed his eyes. He felt much better now that he had at least been able to talk about his worries.

"Sleep a little babe. I'll wake you up when we have to go," Hyunjin said quietly and gently stroked Jisung's hair.
