"Because I'm pregnant."

Wooyoung's head whipped to the side and his mouth opened.

"And San and Yeosang are so excited to be uncles, aren't they Wooyoungie?"

He'd stood up, knocking his chair over and heard people calling to cut. Which was good because he wasn't going to be able to act for the camera anymore.

"What the fuck are you talking about?!" He yelled, backing away from her at the same time.

The commotion around him got louder as everyone scrambled to get the set under control.

"Wait," Their interviewer said. "You didn't know?"

"NO!" Wooyoung screeched.

"You should have answered your phone. Now what are you going to do about our baby? The whole world knows." Rachel said, placing a hand on her stomach.

"YOU BITCH!" San's voice came from behind and he ran past Wooyoung in a blur.

Rachel screamed and ducked behind her chair right as Yeosang grabbed San around the waist and grunted while trying to pull him back.

San's arms and legs flailed as he tried to break free. "YOU'RE LYING! THERE'S NO WAY! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT AFTER YOU-"

Yeosang slapped a hand over San's mouth. "Shut up San! You're not helping right now."

The younger screamed into his hand, his words coming out muffled.

Wooyoung felt the room spinning.

"Can we get security in here please?"

"The cameras stopped, right?"

"Would someone please tell me what is going on here?"

Pregnant...

Wooyoung reached for something to lean against and found nothing. He could feel himself falling and barely got his arms out in front of him to catch himself.

San could still be heard in the background, his muffled yells countering Rachel's screeches of being attacked.

A pair of hands grabbed Wooyoung's upper arm and opposite waist and guided him off the floor. "Come one, let's get you out of here." The voice sounded familiar but he couldn't place it.

He let the person lead him forward, but then another thought crossed his mind...

Lila was supposed to be watching this...

Wooyoung's vision blurred as he clutched his stomach and swayed to the side. Whoever was helping him fumbled to keep him upright, but Wooyoung's foot got caught on a cable and he fell forward once again.

That's when his stomach flipped and he threw up the little he had eaten that day.

"San you need to calm down!"

"Get him away from me! You're stressing me out and I could lose the baby!"

"Get security in here NOW!"

Wooyoung lurched as he once again purged. He felt hot and clammy. And yet the hands that touched him and tried keep him steady felt like they burned.

He looked up at the chaos in front of him, but it was all a blur.

He swayed to the side.

His vision went black.

Lila felt her heart being shred to pieces and Rachel's words filled her ears. "Because I'm pregnant. And San and Yeosang are so excited to be uncles, aren't they Wooyoungie?"

This couldn't be happening...

Wooyoung had... Slept with Rachel?

The interview shut off and went to commercial.

All Lila could do was stare at it.

It felt like her world was shattering.

Wooyoung... Rachel... Pregnant...

And San and Yeosang knew...

No wonder none of them had been very talkative over the past week.

All of it... Everything had been a lie.

The moment she had left he had run to the next available girl.

She had waited for him for over two months... And he couldn't even wait for two weeks?

Lila fell out of the bed and started crawling to the bathroom. Everything spun and she had to lean into the wall for a moment as a new commercial blared in her ear from the tv.

She though he loved her... She though they were happy together.

What did she do wrong?

Lila finally made it to the toilet and started dry heaving into it and even threw up some stomach acid. Having not eaten anything all day, there wasn't anything in her stomach for her to throw up... Which just made this even more painful.

Why... Why did this happen? What did she do wrong?

She had given him her heart. She had given him everything she could possibly give...

Lila turned her head and saw Nate's travel bag.

Her dad was gone... Wooyoung was gone... San had betrayed her...

All for Rachel.

What was the point of her being here anymore?

She couldn't feel anything...

With a shaking hand, she spilled Nate's bag over the bathroom floor and reached for his travel razor.

.

San saw red. The edges of his vision was rimmed in it as he focused on getting to Rachel. That bitch was going to ruin everything!

There was no way she was actually pregnant. She couldn't be! There was no way they had that bad of luck...

He could feel Yeosang holding him back, but that didn't stop him from wanting to put up as much of a fight as possible.

Somebody had to.

"San! San, you're not helping. Please, let's just get out of here!" Yeosang begged from behind him. "Please San! Wooyoung needs us and we need to try and call Lila. She said shew old be watching this."

San froze.

He turned in Yeosang's arms and ran to his bag. He couldn't focus on anything as his thoughts bounced everywhere in his mind.

As soon as he pulled out his phone he let out a strangled cry at the single text from Lila.

This couldn't be happening...

"No, no, no, no, no." San said as he tried to keep his hands from shaking long enough to dial her.

Security finally showed up in the room and Rachel was yelling something about how she felt threatened and she wanted San arrested for trying to attack her.

Normally he would bristle under this accusation, but right now he had more pressing issues.

He listened to the phone ring.

And ring.

And ring.

Then Lila's voicemail picked up.

"Fuck!" He yelled before calling again.

"San..." Yeosang hissed.

He looked up to see the security guard walking over to him with a stern look on his face.

Then Roger appeared, stepping in his way. "Boys go help Wooyoung." He motioned to where the younger was leaning against the wall. "NOW." San and Yeosang ran to their friend as they heard Roger introduce himself and say he would vouch for them, and that there was no attack that happened.

Yeosang stooped over to pick Wooyoung up off the floor. He didn't make a single sound as they ran from the studio.

"Where should we go?" Yeosang asked.

"My condo? Or... Should we get him to a hospital?"

"Can you call Yunho? See if he can make a house call? The paparazzi are going to be everywhere. Shit." Yeosang slid to a stop.

They were already in the lobby.

The boys quickly ducked back into the hall and started heading back the way they had come. It was safe to say that this interview was already trending everywhere. Hollywood loved a good pregnancy scandal.

"What are we going to do?" Yeosang spun in a circle when he got to an intersection in the hallways.

Shouting could still be heard from the main studio and a few people ran through the door looking worried.

"I don't know, but we can't stay here..." San said as they started to back away.

Leave it to Rachel to steal the show and cause absolute chaos...

He was having a hard time concentrating on anything right now. Wooyoung being unconscious was scaring him, Rachel's announcement was unbelievable, and he was terrified by the fact that Lila wasn't answering her phone... Especially since her father passed away.

Rachel had to have planned this. There was no way this was true. He would talk to Roger and see what they could do about her.

But that would have to be later.

"San!" Yeosang said suddenly. "Call Seonghwa. See if we can hide at the diner."

"Brilliant." San muttered as he called the chef.

"Hello?"

"Seonghwa, where are you? Are you at the diner?"

The older chuckled. "Aren't I always at the diner?"

"This isn't the time for jokes! We need a place to hide!" San snapped, feeling the red returning to his vision again.

"What happened?"

"I can't explain now. Just be ready for us, we need to figure out a way to get to you." San hung up and looked down the halls.

He nodded in one direction and Yeosang followed behind him. This studio was a maze, but maybe that would work in their favor. It felt like they were fleeing a crime scene right now. They could hear people calling for Wooyoung down some of the other halls, and there were a few times they had to duck into a room to avoid being seen.

It felt like a bad idea to be stopped right now...

When they finally found an outside door, San poked his head through and looked in all directions. It led to an alley filled with dumpsters, their one stroke of luck today...

He and Yeosang hurried down to the end that led to the street. There was no sign of paparazzi there. "I'm going to try and get a cab." San said, turning to looked at his lover and feeling his heart twinge at the worried look on Yeosang's face. "I think it's the safest way for us to get out of here." He took off his jacket and handed it over. "Try and wrap this around his head. It's something at least..."

Yeosang nodded and shuffled Wooyoung in his arms to get the jacket behind and around his head.

San stepped onto the side walk and up to the side of the street. He stuck his arm down to flag down a taxi. The first one already had a passenger, but the second was free.

The driver pulled over and San motioned for Yeosang to come forward.

When they were loaded into the taxi, he gave directions to Hwa's and took Wooyoung from Yeosang so the older could rest his arms.

Wooyoung looked pale and smelled of vomit... San couldn't blame him for that as he ran his hand through Wooyoung's hair.

"What a mess..." He whispered, glancing over at Yeosang.

The older closed his eyes and pressed his forehead to San's shoulder. "What are we going to do?"

"I don't know..." San pressed dial on his phone again for what felt like the hundredth time.

And for the hundredth time, Lila didn't answer.

He had an awful feeling in the pit of his stomach...

He started searching for the hospital her father had been admitted to, think maybe they could help him find her.

When the nurse answered, San nearly dropped the phone in surprise. "Yes, yes. I'm looking for Lila James? Her father... Her father recently passed today and I'm having a hard time getting ahold of her. Please, it's an emergency."

"Hold on honey, let me try contacting that floor and see if anyone knows anything."

"Tell them it's San calling. Please." He waited anxiously as the pathetic excuse for hold music repeated over and over again on the other line.

"San?" An unfamiliar voice said on the other line.

"Yes...?" He said hesitantly, glancing over at Yeosang. The older was watching and doing his best to listen in.

"My name is Hongjoong. I was Mr. James' doctor..." He sounded heartbroken as he spoke.

"Please, is Lila there? I need to talk to her."

"No, she left awhile ago with a friend. Her mother was coming by, we... We had to call her to inform her..."

"A friend?" San didn't understand. She didn't have any more friends back home.

"Yeah, he showed up this morning looking for her. He said he was staying at the hotel down the street. What was his name..."

San's heart stopped again. Please let him be wrong... "Was it Nate?"

"That's it. Nate. I'm glad he was here... He was able to keep her calm and support her. I know it's not your fault that you couldn't be, but I'm glad she had hi-"

"Hongjoong listen to me. He had NO idea that she was there. I don't like the guy, and I'm afraid he may be stalking her. Please, please if you know where she is you have to go find her."

"What are y-" Hongjoong stopped speaking. "I'm sorry San. I have another patient who needs me. I need to go. Hotel down the street. Room 219." The line when dead.

"Fuck! Can this day get ANY worse!" San yelled. The only thing that kept him from flipping out was the fact that Wooyoung was in his lap.

Yeosang had nothing to say, but he looked pale.

A few minutes later, they pulled up in front of the diner.

Seonghwa was out the door at the same time and running to the side of the car. He took Wooyoung and carried him inside while San paid the driver, not bothering to wait for change before following them inside.

Everything slammed into him all at once again and he instantly had an excruciatingly painful headache...

Rachel had revealed on live tv that she was pregnant... From when she had raped Wooyoung, although thankfully she didn't divulge that statement. Wooyoung was unconscious. Lila's father had passed away and she wasn't answering her phone. And fucking Nate was with her... He had somehow followed her and figured out where she was.

How were they going to get this mess untangled now...?
