After Changbin and Jisung had finished packing and at least stowed the technical stuff and the clothes of the two in the trunk, they stood back in the apartment to pick up Chan and Minho.

The two lay on the sofa giggling and talked about something.

Changbin sighed and looked around the living room.

"Are you okay, Binnie? Or do you regret it now?" Jisung asked quietly and pulled the elder to him.

He shook his head.

"It's just the first apartment we moved into after we moved out of the label's dorm. There are a lot of memories attached," he said and smiled crookedly.

Jisung nodded and understood him way too much. For him, the apartment with Minho also was the first after the dorm of the label. What he only now really became aware of. He swallowed and leaned himself against Changbin.

"We will create new memories in the new apartment."

Changbin nodded and kissed Jisung on the forehead.

"Come on, let's bring the two home. You have to get up early tomorrow. And I think the two of them should eat something and maybe we should put them to bed early."

Both took a deep breath and then turned to Minho and Chan. The two watched Jisung and Changbin and still giggled.

"Let's go home with you!" Changbin said and pulled the two off the sofa.

"Are we still buying pizza?" Chan asked.

Jisung rolled his eyes, but nodded.

"Yes, we'll buy pizza you drunk baby," he left it to Changbin to take care of Chan and pulled Minho with him to the front door. "Come on handsome, let's go home."

Chan ran after him and poked Jisung in the back. "Little one, wait for me. Channie sad."

Jisung sighed, but had to grin and held out his hand to Chan.

Changbin locked the door behind them and together they took the elevator into the underground car park.

Chan and Minho hung on Jisung and pulled him with them into the back seat. And although he protested and tried to defend himself against them, he had no chance against the two together.

"That's cause you let our ice cream become mud!" said Chan and poked him again.

Laughing, Jisung slapped his hand.

"Stop it Channie, otherwise Binnie will drive straight home and there will be no pizza for you!" he said and glared evilly at the two elders.

Chan's finger froze in the air and instantly a pout appeared on his lips.

Changbin watched the whole thing grinning in the rear-view mirror and couldn't help but laugh.

When it came to Jisung, Chan showed a completely different, incredibly cute side.

"Little one, don't be so mean to him, otherwise he will definitely start crying right away," he said laughing and drove off.

"Am I mean to you?" Jisung asked and looked at Chan.

He nodded and pushed his lower lip a little further forward.

That even made Minho laugh. "Come on, tell him that you love him and give him a kiss. Otherwise he will really start crying."

Jisung shook his head with a smile.

"Would you like a kiss?"

Chan nodded and moved a little closer to him.

Jisung gently pulled Chan to him and kissed him.

"Better?"

Chan nodded and put his head on Jisung's shoulder. "Love you little one."

"Love you too, Channie."

"And what about me?" Minho asked exaggeratedly sad.

"I love you too!" Jisung said with a grin, pulled Minho to him and kissed him too.

"I think you have to go buy the pizza alone... I don't think I can get away from here..."

"It's okay. I think I can buy some pizza on my own," Changbin said with a laugh.

Jisung leaned against Minho and closed his eyes for a moment. The last few days had been unbelievable ups and downs of emotions.

Shortly afterwards, he felt Chan grab his hand and hold it tight.

After Changbin actually went to buy the pizza alone and they arrived home, they sat together on the sofa and ate pizza.

Minho and Chan slowly became sober again, which nevertheless did not lead them to stop whispering and giggles.

Jisung had leaned against Changbin and felt somehow incredibly tired.

"Binnie, I think I'm going to take a shower and then go to bed. Do you think you can handle them alone?"

"Sure little one. Everything okay?" he asked worriedly.

Jisung cuddled up to the elder for a moment. "Yes. I'm just tired."

A short time later he was in the shower. Tired, he leaned against the wall, closed his eyes and just let the water rain down on him for a moment. He really wished the water would've just washed everything away. All the worries and dark thought.

Frightened, he startled and opened his eyes when cold fingers lay on his hip.

"Everything okay baby?" Minho asked worriedly.

"Don't scare me like that," Jisung said, taking a deep breath. "Yes, everything is fine. I'm just a little done and really tired. And I'm a little afraid of tomorrow, even though I actually know it's nonsense."

Minho pulled Jisung to him and gently stroked his back.

"I'll come with you if you want me to, baby. And I'm sure Chan or Changbin can drive us."

Jisung leaned against him, closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He loved Minho's smell and immediately felt a little better.

"Honey, you're getting all wet," he murmured, but still didn't let him go.

"Never mind. It's worth it to me!" he said, gently kissing Jisung's neck.  "Would you like me to take a shower with you or should I wait for you in bed?"

"Stay... Please."

He took a deep breath again and then let go of Minho briefly so that he could take off his wet clothes, but pulled him back to himself immediately afterwards.

After they had showered and brushed their teeth, they went to the bedroom, where Chan and Changbin were already in bed and waiting for them.

Minho and Jisung cuddled up to them.
