Jisung woke up because strong arms lay around him. Confused, he turned around and recognized Changbin lying behind him.

Calmly, he snuggled up to him and closed his eyes again, only to reopen them seconds later and look for Minho and Chan.

Laughter and murmur could be heard through the open bedroom door. Jisung got up curiously and went into the living room.

Chan stood leaning against the wall with Minho in his arm and they talked quietly about something.

A picture that was not commonplace for Jisung, but also not unknown. Minho usually did not show his affection for Chan and Changbin so openly. But since his kidnapping, some things had changed.

With a gentle smile, he went to the two.

"Do I get some cuddles too?"

Immediately both Minho and Chan stretched out an arm to him and pulled him towards them.

"Good morning baby, slept well?" Minho asked him lovingly and kissed him gently.

"Much better! Hopefully this will remain a unique experience."

Chan and Minho looked at each other doubtfully, but just when Minho wanted to say something about it, Changbin came into the living room.

"Troop cuddle? I want to too!"

For a moment they stood there and held each other in their arms.

"Come Binnie, will you help me finish breakfast?" Chan asked with a smile and pulled Changbin behind him.

Minho understood very well what Chan was doing and pulled Jisung with him to the sofa.

"Baby, that's exactly what I wanted to talk to you about..."

Jisung looked at him questioningly.

"I don't think it will stay with that one time. You're not well and that's all too understandable! And I think you could use a little help to process what you have experienced..."

"What do you mean?!"

"I made an appointment for you with a therapist... For tomorrow morning."

Jisung looked at Minho stunned. He may not have been in a really good mood, but he would be able to cope with it alone. He didn't need anyone for it. Especially not a soul plumber.

Without saying another word, he got up, let Minho sit and went into the entrance. Once there, he put on his shoes and jacket and just wanted to leave.

He put his hand on the doorknob and wanted to open the door, but just he couldn't. Although he wanted to leave so much, everything in him resisted opening the door.

He collapsed trembling and tears ran down his face.

Minho was right.

He wasn't well and he didn't really know why he had claimed anything else at all. Or who he wanted to convince. Minho or yourself.

"Minho"

It was more a whisper than a call, but Minho was with him immediately. Lifted him up and carried him to the bedroom.

"I'm here, baby!"

He pulled Jisung to himself and gently stroked his back while tears continued to run over the younger one's face.

"I know you're strong, my darling. And that you usually try to get things done on your own... But that's something else.. And it's no shame to admit that you need help and then get it. If you want, I'll even come with you!"

Jisung didn't say anything. He had cuddled close to Minho and his tears dripped from his face on Minho's shirt and left wet, dark spots.

Minho felt helpless. He would try everything to make Jisung feel better, but the younger one would also have to accept the help.

He suppressed a sigh and buried his hand in Jisung's hair. It usually helped him to mess up his fiancé's velvety hair if he wasn't well or he didn't know what to do. But even that didn't help today.

A quiet clearing was heard from the door around Minho straightened up slightly and said Chan standing in the door frame.

"Breakfast is ready. Do you want to come to eat?"

Jisung shook his head, but Minho pulled him off bed with him without further ado.

"Come baby, you have to eat something."

Jisung was reluctant to be dragged into the kitchen by Minho and sat down at the dining table.

Chan and Changbin watch the two worried, but said nothing.

Together they cleaned up after breakfast and after that none of them really knew what to do.

At some point, they all landed again in Minho's and Jisung's bed, cuddled close to each other and watched relatively indiscriminately at what was on TV.

Jisung had fallen asleep at some point in Minho's arm in the older one watched him lovingly.

"Do you think he's going to the therapist tomorrow?" Chan whispered quietly, who was lying on Jisung's other side.

Minho shrugged his shoulders.

"I really hope so..." he murmured quietly.

Chan stretched out his hand and gently stroked Minho's cheek.

"Are any of you coming to the balcony?" he asked while carefully freeing himself from Jisung.

Chan nodded and also got up, while Changbin had long since taken his place and cuddled up on Jisung. It looked like he would fall asleep at any moment.

Minho knew that he urgently had to stop smoking again. But he just didn't know how to help himself any other way.

His heart hurt a lot and his mind didn't know what to do either.

Chan sat down on the bench and pulled Minho on his lap. He felt that the younger urgently needed some closeness and affection. And a shoulder to lean on.

Normally Chan didn't want to sit right next to Minho when he smoked, but today it didn't matter.

But instead of lighting the cigarette, he leaned against Chan and buried his face in his crook of his neck.

"Minnie... we can do it! Maybe Ji just needs a little time to get used to the idea of going to the therapist."

Minho nodded but yet tears ran down his face.

"I want to be strong for him so much. And help him cope with it. I just don't know how... and also not if I'll help him at all with what I do."

Chan looked at him anxiously and gently stroked his back.

"Honey, maybe it would do you good to have at least a few sessions with a therapist," he said cautiously while holding Minho firmly in his arm and kissing him on the forehead.

For moments, Minho said nothing and didn't react to what Chan had said. But finally he nodded hesitantly.

"Maybe you're right..."

꧁ ⸺ ♥ ⸺ ꧂

First thing I want to say is that I'm sorry for the reuploads... wattpad messed up with me and even if I'm mad about it I can't change that.

But anyway I have a few questions I need to ask you guys.

First thing I really need to know is what do you guys think about the love square? (Have no better name for that) Do you want that to happen? Or should I separate them a bit more?

Second thing is do you want to read more of it? Or should I end the story in a few chapters?

And the last thing I want to know is do you guys want a Q and A? I've never did one before but if you want one I would try my best. Just need your opinion on it.
