Lila stayed with Wooyoung the rest of the week, only leaving the hotel room to stretch her legs, get food, or hid from anyone coming to visit him that wasn't Roger or Seonghwa.

Which thankfully wasn't often. The biggest problem was Rachel, but Wooyoung had requested that she be banned from seeing him. Yunho even ordered it, saying it was too stressful for his patient.

When it came time for him to be released, he was given a few prescriptions to take to help with possible nausea and headaches, which he still experienced from time to time.

The biggest issue was going to be getting him out of the hospital.

"There's still a lot of people with cameras out there..." Yeosang said as he walked back into the room.

Roger sighed heavily and ran a hand through his hair. "I'd be willing to bet they are camped in front of your apartment too."

"Can he come to our place?" Lila asked, looking at the manager. "He could stay indoors then he'd have both San and I to look after him. Yeosang too if he wanted to stay."

Roger rubbed his chin. "I don't really like it, just because I still don't want them to know about you..."

"Why?" Wooyoung asked, wrapping an arm around Lila's waist. "I don't care."

"I know you don't." Roger flashed a sad smile. "But it's for her safety for one thing. Once you two announce that you are a couple, the paparazzi are going to come after her like crazy. The other thing, is that I'm only thinking of your career. If you announce you are in a relationship, it's going to pull focus from promoting the movie and into everyone wanting to know what you two are doing together at all hours of the day."

Lila looked at the ground, knowing Roger was right. Then she took a deep breath and turned to Wooyoung. "I can wait, it's ok. We can approach the subject again after the movie is released and the promotions are done." She said, placing a hand on his chest.

Wooyoung looked at her, his forehead creasing as he lifted his free hand and wrapped it around hers. "Are you sure?"

"Yes. We've done this long enough, we can do it for awhile longer." She said, leaning her head against his chest and tucking it under his chin.

Roger chuckled next to them. "You've got a keeper there kid." He said as he walked out of the room.

"That I do." Wooyoung whispered into he top of her head.

They ended up sneaking out through the employee entrance with he help of Yunho and Mingi. There was a short reunion between the shop owner and Lila, but the urgency of what was going on kept them moving.

Because the employee garage was situated underneath the hospital and had a private gate to go through where you had to have special permission to get through.

And because of Yunho, Mingi was able to drive right out with Wooyoung and Lila hiding in the backseat. They stayed that way for most of the drive, just in case, only sitting up when Mingi pulled onto San's street.

"Well this was exciting." The taller said as he hopped next to the car. Then he ran over to hug Lila, picking her up off the ground and spinning her in a circle. "I kept waiting for you to come by and see me so I could thank you for that amazing article! I've had so much more business since that came out and I am so grateful."

Lila laughed and hugged him, his contagious cheer rubbing off on her, and she noticed Wooyoung leaning against the side of the car looking tired, but happy.

Mingi finally set her down and turned to Wooyoung. "If you two need anything, don't hesitate to call me. I'd be more than happy to help." He held out a business card that he had also written his cell phone number on. "Stay out of trouble." He winked and got back in his car.

Wooyoung and Lila waved him off before slipping inside the house and making sure all the windows were locked and blinds were shut.

"Alright, let's get you into bed." Lila said, grabbing Wooyoung's hand and pulling him to her room. "You look exhausted."

Thankfully he didn't put up much of a fight and let her tuck him into bed after he changed into some sweatpants and a t-shirt that they borrowed from San. When he was done, she pulled back her comforter and he slipped into the sheets, sighing happily.

"You're staying with me, right?" He asked, smirking but giving her puppy eyes at the same time.

"How can I say no to that?" She giggled and went to the other side of the bed, crawling under the covers.

Wooyoung turned onto his side and pulled her to him. "This is nice." He sighed. "No beeping. No nurses. Just you and me."

Lila felt herself blushing as she smiled into his chest and she was once again hit with how much she missed him.

As the comfortable silence fell over them, Lila tried to force herself to stay awake so she could listen to his soft breaths. But soon, those lulled her to sleep as well.

San smiled from the doorway as he watched his two friends sleeping peacefully. Part of him had been afraid this day wouldn't come, so he felt like a huge weight had been taken off his shoulders.

It was really nice to see Lila's room set up as well. He knew they might clash every once in a while personality wise if they lived together, and although he would never admit it to her, it would probably almost always be his fault.

Yeosang stepped up next to him and grabbed his hand, lacing their fingers together. He too smiled at the scene in front of them before he pulled San away from the door. "Let them rest." The older whispered.

San pushed his lips out in a pout, but gladly followed his lover to the couch. Yeosang sat in the corner of the 'L' and stretched his legs out, then pulled San down so he could rest his head in his lap and lay down as well. Then he started to rub the younger's head gently while turning on the tv, keeping it at low volume, and flipping through the channels.

"Cooking show?" Yeosang asked after a few minutes.

"Is that even a question?" San giggled and nestled in after pulling a blanket over himself.

He heard Yeosang hum.

The next thing he knew, someone was pounding on his front door, startling San and Yeosang awake. They looked at each other, then at the door. It was quiet for a moment, then someone pounded on it again.

Yeosang slipped off the couch and crept to the front door to peer out the peephole.

San watched as he scrunched up his face and hurried back over. "It's that idiot friend of Lila's."

"You're kidding..." San said, pulling out his phone to check the time. He was surprised to see that they had been asleep for over four hours and it was almost dinner time. "Dammit what are we going to do?" He hissed.

"I don't know, what is he even doing here?" Yeosang glanced back at the door and they could hear someone talking on the other side. "He's bad news, I swear."

"I hate that he had to be the one here for her while we were gone, and especially these past couple of weeks..." San grumbled, glaring at the front door. "I wish we had a way to just get rid of him. He's going to be nothing but trouble."

Yeosang rubbed their back of his head and cringed. "I think Lila needs to wake up a little bit too..."

San sighed and nodded. "Yeah, I agree. She's too kind-hearted to realize she's just leading him on. Her caring nature is the most special part about her, but it's also her weakness..."

They both glanced at the door when it was it was silent for a few minutes.

Relieved that Nate was gone, San pulled out his phone and dialed Seonghwa to place an order for dinner. He knew none of them would feel like cooking and he doubted Lila had gone shopping recently given everything that was going on.

He asked the older to be careful when getting there because of Nate and laughed at the colorful words that left his mouth.

But thankfully it ended up not being an issue. Seonghwa brought enough food to feed ten people, but he just laughed it off and said he didn't know what they would feel up to seeing as all they had was hospital food since they've been home.

When everything was set up, San tiptoed into Lila's room and saw that the couple was still laying in the same position from several hours ago. He hated to wake them up, but neither one had eaten since early this morning.

"Lila." He whispered, leaning forward to shake her shoulder. She let out a soft moan and shifted a little. "Lila, honey, Seonghwa is here with some food. Why don't you two come out and eat, then you can come back to bed?"

San watched as Lila blinked slowly, still trying to process what was going on. Then her stomach grumbled and she groaned. San chuckled in response and shook her again. "Ok I'm up." Lila turned her face into her pillow and sighed.

Satisfied, San went back to join the others.

Wooyoung had been up for awhile but had just been enjoying laying there listening to Lila's soft breathing.

So when San came to wake them up, he sat up before Lila did and looked down at where she was trying to deny waking up.

She was adorable.

Wooyoung chuckled and kissed her cheek. "Come one, I heard your stomach begging for good."

"No you didn't..." Lila said, turning to lay on her stomach so she could fully hide her face in her pillow.

"Well I'm hungry, so I'll see you out there." He smiled when she whined into her pillow, but he still moved to get out of bed.

When he reached the edge of he, Wooyoung felt her hand grab the back of his shirt. "Well come one then." He said, turning around and rubbing her head.

"Food then bed?" She said, still not opening her eyes.

"Food and then bed." Wooyoung promised.

Lila sighed and pushed herself out of bed, taking his hand the second they both stood up, making his heart beat faster already. He smiled at her as she rubbed her eyes and yawned while leading him out to the living room.

"There he is!" Seonghwa said, coming over to give Wooyoung a hug. "I'm so happy to see you up and healthy again." He pulled back and cupped Wooyoung's face, beaming at him. "How are you feeling?"

"Amazing. And dying for some of you food."

Seonghwa chuckled then turned to Lila. "Oh my gorgeous girl, come here." He stooped over and picked Lila up off the ground, causing her to gasp and look at Wooyoung.

"Hwa! Really? I'm back for two seconds and you're already making a pass at my girlfriend?" Wooyoung called after him, watching as Lila's long blonde hair swayed back and forth as Seonghwa carried her into the dining room.

"You have much to learn, Youngie." Seonghwa looked over his should and winked before he set Lila down in her chair.

She laughed and rolled her eyes as Seonghwa pushed her chair in and placed a napkin on her lap.

"And you're just as bad!" Wooyoung exclaimed, motioning at Lila. "You're letting him do it!"

Lila smirked at him. "I've got to keep you interested somehow."

Wooyoung made a little whining sound, unintentionally, then turned bright red when everyone laughed at him. He clenched his jaw and went to sit next to Lila, grabbing her hand under the table.

But she knew how to suck up to him just as much as push his buttons, because she leaned over and kissed him on the cheek before whispering, "I love you."

All was forgiven as Wooyoung pulled her chair closer and wrapped an arm around her shoulder.

It was the best night he had had in what felt like ages. San, Yeosang, and Wooyoung shared stories about their time filming, leaving details about Rachel out unless it was something funny, while Lila and Seonghwa talked about what they did to stay busy.

As the evening started to die down, Lila started to doze against Wooyoung's shoulder. So after Seonghwa left, and San and Yeosang dipped into the younger's room, Wooyoung carefully carried Lila back to bed.

She nestled in immediately and Wooyoung slipped in behind her, pulling her back to his chest and wrapping his arms around her waist and his legs around hers.

He smiled when she nestled in to him and let out a soft moan. Then he kissed her neck and shoulders a couple of times before he allowed himself to slip into sleep once more.
