It was now past 9pm that day, and Yeonjun was sitting on the couch.

Beomgyu still hadn't woken up, so the older male was just watching him.

"And you, not responding to my texts.", Yeonjun said, looking at his phone.

He had texted Soobin and called him at last four times each to see when they were coming. He didn't get a response.

He didn't call Kai because he knew that there was only a 25% chance the younger would answer.

"At least you responded."

Taehyun had replied to his texts.

They chatted back and forth, keeping track of what each other were doing.

"Gyu, when you wake up, we need to do something special. I want to celebrate. But no alcohol of course. Also, remind me to punch my dad for teaching me that drinking was a good coping mechanism."

A bag next to Yeonjun held his food. He reached into it, taking out a box of cookies.

"See this, this is better. I love these cookies. I'll save some for you. I just hope they don't expire before you wake up. So hurry up. I miss you."

--------------------------------------------------------------

Taehyun and Chin-Hae were standing next to one another, looking out into the street.

Chin-Hae's house was at the end of a long road, atop a not very steep hill.

"It's so pretty. All these trees and houses. Such a nice neighborhood.", Taehyun said.

"Yeah. Plenty of families here too. Dogs, cats, everything."

Chin-Hae sighed.

"What's wrong?"

"I just get bored sometimes. Especially when you guys go on your. Then I am mostly here unless Enhypen needs me."

"Oh yeah...I forgot about that."

"Is something wrong?"

"It's just that, you know I'm friends with Heeseung. And, I didn't want to pursue a relationship with you if it would make him upset."

"Ah I see. Well I am proud to say that you don't need to worry about that."

"How come?"

"My cousin is protective, I can say that, but he wants me to be happy just as much as I want to be happy. And since you're his friend, he knows you're a good guy. He trusts you."

Taehyun had a happy look on his face.

"So this means...we're in the clear to...date?"

Chin-Hae put his hand on Taehyun's head.

"I thought you would never ask."

Taehyun quickly hugged Chin-Hae, wiggling him around like a baby doll.

"Oh I'm so happy! I'm telling everyone!", he yelled.

"And I'm happy as well. Maybe I won't be so lonely anymore."

"Not as long as I'm here. Now, first one to run down the hill wins the last cheese mini pizza."

"You're on cutie."

---------------------------------------------------------------

Soobin and Kai were watching cartoons.

The cool air of the house, accompanied by the easing sounds of cartoon songs, calmed them both.

They found themselves staring at one another. Kai was laying in Soobin's lap, looking up at him.

"You are so cute. Did you know that?", Soobin asked.

"You've been telling me since debut."

"I have. That much is true."

Kai turned back to the tv.

Soobin felt like today was a success. He made progress in their relationship.

But, he didnt want to rush things. He still wasn't 100% sure Kai liked him, even after the cheek kiss.

"Hey, your phone is ringing.", Soobin said.

Kai sat up, grabbing his phone.

"Hi Yeonjun hyung."

"Where the f*** are you guys?"

"Whoa there. Language."

"Sorry. But I have been trying to contact Soobin all day and he hasn't answered."

"He left his phone at home."

"And you're not at home? Why? Oh my gosh did you guys get lost? Where are you? I'll come find you."

"No, no, we went to Soobin's beach house."

"Oh...okay. Good. I was scared for a second."

"Is that why you called me?"

"Just to check on you. I'm lonely and you guys said you were coming back."

"We will be there tomorrow."

"Good."

Kai heard a noise in the background.

"What was that?"

Yeonjun didn't respond.

"Hyung?"

Soobin looked at Kai with a concerned face.

Very distantly in the background, Kai heard a voice. A voice he knew all too well.

"Hyung, where are we?", the voice said.

"Kai, I'll uh...call you back."

"What happened?"

"He just woke up."

Yeonjun hung up. Kai looked at Soobin.

"What was that?", Soobin asked.

"I heard Beomgyu. Hyung, he woke up!"

Soobin's eyes widened before he stood.

"We have to go see him!", he said.

Kai stood up as well.

"We'll be back beach house!", he yelled.

Kai made sure to take his phone as they quickly left.

They even left the tv on.

It was dark outside now, but they didn't mind. They had a small road trip to do.

Once again, Soobin safely but quickly drove, headed back to the hospital to see their member.

He could only imagine how Yeonjun was reacting right now.

--------------------------------------------------------------

At the hospital, Yeonjun was halfway on the bed, arms around Beomgyu.

"That hurts.", Beomgyu said.

"Sorry. But I missed you. And I love you. And I'm so sorry. And-"

"Yeonjun hyung all I have heard is you speaking since last night. If you say sorry one more time-"

"Okay I won't say it."

Beomgyu smiled at him.

"I heard that story. The one that Kai told."

"You did?"

"It was adorable. Just like him."

"You mean just like you?"

"Haha, funny. I'm not adorable."

"Never say lies like that again."

Beomgyu laughed.

"Have you heard from Seventeen? How are their members?"

"They're doing very good. Able to still move around, Joshua was talking crap about the car and said he knew the thing had it out for him."

"Hilarious.", Beomgyu said smiling.

All of a sudden, Kai and Soobin came speeding into the room.

"Beomgyu!", Kai yelled, running to him.

"I drove like 120 miles an hour.", Soobin said.

Beomgyu and Kai embraced one another.

"The doctor said they're keeping him for the next two days, just to monitor and make sure he's okay.", Yeonjun said.

"Glad he's awake. 24 hours without that laugh was torture. I'm shocked how much I missed hearing it."

"Where is Taehyun?", Kai asked.

"He and Chin-Hae are searching the halls for gatorade.", Yeonjun replied.

"I'm not shocked."

A few minutes later, said men returned.

The TXT members and Chin-Hae sat around Beomgyu's bed.

"So.. we're officially dating!", Taehyun told them.

The members cheered, including Beomgyu, who wipes a fake tear.

"Im so proud of you. My boy!"

"Aww thanks."

"Now, it's time for you two."

Everyone looked at Soobin and Kai.

"What about us?", Kai asked.

"Did you forget, my dear Huening? I am Choi Beomgyu, relationship guru. I'm the person who will get you two together."

Kai turned to Soobin, who looked away from him.

"Soobin."

"Y-yes..."

"You like me?"

"Who said that?"

"Be honest."

"Okay maybe a little bit."

The members laughed.

"Well. I would like to see how you plan on making that happen."

"Oh I have ways. Do you see who my relationship guide is?"

Beomgyu smirked.

"You mean the most suspicious man in Seoul?"

"Me, suspicious? What have I ever done to you-"

"Beomgyu you stood at the foot of my bed on Halloween night, dressed as Michael Myers and said you were my sleep paralysis demon."

"I don't recall that."

"I have enough trauma without being haunted by Choi Michael Myers."
