It was still raining and just as dark outside.

Jisung was using his strength to carry Hyunjin to the maintenance pipe entrance near the ponds.

Luckily, Hyunjin was very skinny from his ordeal, so Jisung easily carried him along.

"There are phones in the tunnels Jinnie. We can call for help there."

They reached the pipe entrance and Jisung opened it, walking inside and down the steps that led to the main network.

After going a few more feet forward, he saw a landline phone on the wall.

Jisung carefully put Hyunjin on the ground, going to the phone.

He picked up the phone, dialing for help.

"Emergency services, what's your emergency and where are you calling from?"

"Hi, uh, my name is Han Jisung. About a month ago, my member Hyunjin fell into a well behind our house. I found him, he was at the water company. I managed to get him out. We're in the maintenance pipes near the ponds at the factory area."

"Okay sir, help is on the way. Stay near the phone for any callbacks and updates. It may take a while to reach your location, as it is quite remote."

"That's fine...just...please hurry as fast as you can."

Jisung put the phone down, going back to Hyunjin.

He picked him up, holding the boy against his chest to keep him warm.

"Did you hear that Jinnie? They're coming for us."

Jisung found himself instinctual rocking him back and forth, tapping his back like he usually did when they were home.

"You know, we have had quite a hard time without you. We even called the fire department earlier today because we thought you were in the well again."

Jisung smiled, looking down at Hyunjin.

There was a very faint smile on his face, but his eyes were closed and he was a bit pale.

"The guys will be so happy when I get you back home. I'll be happy. I missed you..."

Jisung was trying to stop himself from crying.

"I can't imagine what you went through baby. That seemed like a terrible place. I'm so sorry. What were they doing to you huh?"

Jisung ran his hand through Hyunjin's hair.

"At least now you're free. You don't have to see them anymore."

Jisung was still rocking the little back and forth.

"I wonder if the members noticed I was gone yet. Probably. I just know Chan stayed up waiting for me to come back inside."

He laughed.

Jisung felt movement, and looked down to see Hyunjin opening his eyes and shifting his head.

"Sungie?", he said quietly.

Jisung started to let his tears out.

"Why cry Sungie?"

"Baby...I thought you were..."

Hyunjin put his arm around him.

"Never scare me like that again baby boy..."

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

When Jisung woke up, he felt a weight on him.

The sunlight was coming through his bedroom window, and the cool air of the Stray Kids house welcomed him in.

He noticed Hyunjin, curled up and sleeping with a cute pout on his face.

The night before, they were rescued by emergency services from inside of the maintenance pipes.

Luckily, Hyunjin was in a good enough condition to only spend a few hours at the hospital before being released under the surveillance of the entirety of SKZ.

The door to Jisung's room opened.

"Hi Jisung. How are you?", Minho asked.

"I'm good. Slept well. Hyunjin is still sleeping. Just as cute as ever."

"That's good. He needs all the rest he can get. I was coming here to give good news."

"About what?"

"Police infiltrated the water company experiment. Shut them down and arrested at least six people affiliated."

"Oh that's great! That makes me happy."

Jisung sat up. Hyunjin whined in his sleep, holding onto Jisung.

"I think he's claimed you.", Minho said.

"He has. I don't mind though. He's just a cute baby."

"But remember, you're mine..."

"Yeah I know I know."

Minho left the room, closing the door quietly.

Despite this, Hyunjin woke up, looking at Jisung.

"Good morning baby."

Hyunjin smiled, making a small noise and laying on his back, biting his hand.

"Oh? Is it a baby morning?"

Hyunjin made an assortment of baby noises, using his other hand to shake his blanket around.

"Oh this is adorable! I need to tell everyone."

The door opened again to reveal Seungmin.

"I sense baby. Give me him."

He walked over, seeing Baby Hyunjin.

"Hi there! Oh you're so cute! Want to go see your hyungs?"

The baby yelled, saying yes.

Seungmin helped him get up. Jisung gave Hyunjin his pacifier so he wouldn't bite his hand.

Together the boys left the bedroom.

Minho was heading downstairs and saw them.

"A babyyyyy!", he yelled.

This signaled quite literally every other member, who all rushed upstairs to see the baby.

Little Hyunjin was picked up by Chan, who hugged him intensely, holding him on his side like a tiny baby.

"Hi my little man. Aren't you the sweetest boy? You look so cute."

Hyunjin just smiled over his pacifier, waving at everyone.

For the first time in a month, he woke up to all of his members, in their home, surrounded by their love.

"I think we should throw a celebration party!", Seungmin said.

"I'm game for that. I want an excuse for pizza.", Changbin said.

"Then party it is!", Chan yelled.

All the members agreed, and they headed downstairs.

Chan's phone rang. He took it from his pocket, answering it.

"Hello?"

"I heard someone mention a party."

"Keeho how did you hear that? We live in opposite sides of the town..."

"I live next door."

"No you..."

Chan looked outside.

In the front yard of the house next door, Keeho was standing there on his phone, watching Soul chase a dog around, barking at it.

"When the hell did you guys move in?"

"We're sneaky. Anyways, are we invited to the celebration? I'll bring the drinks, and our little."

"You sure are invited. Also, how is Little Theo doing?"

"Being cute. Currently inside singing Sesame Street songs with Jongseob."

"That's amazing."

"I mean if you want to babysit..."

"Make it a playdate?"

"You're on."
