Wooyoung stares out the window in the middle of the night, replaying the memories of today when Yeosang had his anxiety attack. He had to wear long sleeves, making sure Mingi or Jongho didn't see the bruises. He knows Yeosang didn't mean to leave them, he was thrashing and trying to escape why Wooyoung thought was his memories of his past.

But Mingi and Jongho wouldn't be happy to see them if they had. He also had to bathe alone, worried of anyone seeing the one on the side of his belly. He feels arms snake around his waist and he gasps a little, getting them off the bruise gently. Jongho frowns, "You okay?"

Wooyoung nods, "Y-Yeah I'm fine!"

Jongho narrows his eyes, "You're lying."

"What? No I'm not-"

"I know when anyone in this pack is lying. Seonghwa bites his lip to where it's bleeding, Mingi pops his fingers, San's eyes flicker around and never stay locked. You, you stutter."

Wooyoung takes in a deep breath, "You just scared me is all."

Jongho stares deeply into Wooyoung's eyes, getting down on his knees and trying to lift Wooyoung's shirt. Wooyoung holds the end of the shirt down, Jongho snapping his head back up and arching his eyebrow, "Can I not see?"

"I-I'm just a little self conscious-"

"Bullshit," Jongho growls, standing to trap Wooyoung in a corner, "You're hiding something."

"Please-"

"Whoa," Yunho calls from the hall, seeing the position the two were in and moving calmly towards Jongho and Wooyoung, "Everything okay here?"

Jongho doesn't take his eyes away as he hums, "Yeah, everything's fine."

Yunho frowns, looking between the two and patting Jongho's back, "Come on, help me cook this elk."

Wooyoung watches Jongho leave, not taking his eyes off of the Alpha until he's out of sight before he lets out a heavy breath. He hears heavy footsteps walking towards him and peeks under his blonde hair to see Mingi walking towards him. He swallows, covering his belly with his hands, causing the Alpha to stop and stare, "Everything okay?"

Wooyoung hesitates before nodding. Mingi cups Wooyoung's chin, making the younger look up, at him as he frowns, "Are you sure?"

"Yes Alpha," Wooyoung whispers, swallowing once more and holding his breath a little. Mingi isn't as stubborn as Jongho, so hopefully he buys the mask Wooyoung is putting on.

"Wooyoung, I can sense your fear and your worry. Mating bond remember?" Mingi chuckles, tilting his head, "You can talk to me, I'll listen."

"I..."

Mingi nods, brushing Wooyoung's hair out of his face, "You're in pain. Somewhere, you're hurting. Not internally, externally."

Wooyoung's eyes water slightly and his lip trembles, "Don't be angry."

Mingi shakes his head, frowning, "I won't baby, tell me what's wrong."

Wooyoung lets out a deep breath he had been holding in, lifting the sleeve of his shirt and revealing the bruises on his arm from Yeosang's episode. Mingi's eyebrows furrowed deeper, gently running a finger down his arm and minding the bruise. Wooyoung lifts the end of his shirt, revealing the bruise on his stomach and Mingi growls.

"Who did this?" Mingi asks deeply, his eyes a dark red, "Tell me."

"It was an accident Mingi," Wooyoung whispers, "Please, it was an accident, you promised you wouldn't get angry."

"Do you not realize you could've lost the baby?" Mingi spoke lowly, his lips curl into a snarl as he traces the bruise on the Omega's belly, "I would've never known if it was mine..."

Wooyoung blinks rapidly, trying to blink away the tears but the betrayal on Mingi's face made the Omega feel guilty and made him want to cry, "I'm sorry Mingi," he whispers, "I didn't know what else to do when Yeosang-"

"Yeosang?" Mingi repeats, his eyes flicker back to brown instantly. Wooyoung's eyes widen, knowing he had blown his cover to save his friend.

"Don't do anything to Yeosang, please. He was having an episode and he couldn't help himself! Mingi please don't hurt him!" Wooyoung sobs, grabbing Mingi's hand as the Alpha stares at the crying Omega, "It was my fault for not being careful, Yeosang didn't mean to hurt me."

Mingi sighs, nodding his head, "Alright, I promise I won't do anything or say anything. But as soon as Seonghwa gets back, you need to tell him what happened. And we need to get the midwife to check on the baby."

Wooyoung nods, wiping his tears and his slightly watering nose with his sweater paws. Mingi cups Wooyoung's chin, gently leaning in and pecking his lips before kissing his cheek, "Be more careful, your body isn't yours anymore."

"Seonghwa-hyung!!!" Yunho, Wooyoung, and San all scream, running towards the Luna with smiles and excitement. Yeosang was in the lead, tackling Seonghwa in a hug first before San, then Yunho, and Seonghwa points to Wooyoung, "Walk Wooyoung!"

Wooyoung obeys, but walks quickly until he gets close enough to run a couple steps, hugging his Luna. Hongjoong chuckles, setting their bags on the ground, "I guess Alpha doesn't get hugs?"

Wooyoung, San and Yunho immediately hug their Alpha, Hongjoong laughing and hugging them all close. Yeosang continues to hug Seonghwa tightly, sniffling and breathing in the comforting scent of marshmallows coming from his Luna. Seonghwa brushes the hair behind Yeosang's ear, smiling, "How was everything?" Yeosang's smile faltered a little, and his eyes dimmed a bit, making Seonghwa frown a little and pout, "Oh, Sangie," he whispers, bringing the Beta in his arms and hugging him closer, "I'm here now. Luna is here now."

"Seonghwa-hyung!!" Jongho and Mingi shout, Seonghwa giggles. Yeosang moves to stand by his Luna, even when Jongho picks him up bridal style and spins him around. When he was placed on his feet, he was a bit dizzy, but it didn't last long before Mingi wraps his arms around him and hoists him in the air, hugging him tightly.

Hongjoong laughs, "Alright Mingi, I think Seonghwa Luna has had enough." Seonghwa giggles, kissing Mingi's cheek and Jongho's before walking over to Hongjoong, lacing their fingers together. Hongjoong kisses Seonghwa's forehead, turning to face his pack before turning serious, "Do we have meat?"

"Yes, we actually went hunting the day before yesterday," Yunho nods, "a big elk that will probably last us a week."

"Excellent, any problems while we were away?" The alpha asks, looking at each individual pack member to see any sort of clues.

Yeosang gulps, looking down at the ground to avoid his gaze. Wooyoung smiles, shaking his head, "Nope! Everything went well Alpha!"

Hongjoong chuckles, "Good, let's head inside and make some dinner yeah? I'm sure you all are hungry and have many questions on where we were."

While everyone heads towards the house, Seonghwa takes Yeosang's hand in his. He wasn't stupid, he can tell when someone has something they want to say or when something has happened, no one will say anything. Seonghwa knows his pack members through and through, and when something is wrong with one of them it's like a pin needle jabbing into his side. He can't avoid it.

When everyone was far from earshot, he looks at Yeosang, "What happened?"

Yeosang looks at him under the tips of his hair, his eyes tremble as they fill with tears, "It was an accident-"

"Calm down love," Seonghwa whispers, "Just tell me what happened."

"I... I had an episode... Wooyoung had to give me the pills," Yeosang sobs, "I'm sorry hyung!"

Seonghwa sighs sadly, knowing well Yeosang hated taking those pills, but they were the only things that could calm him down enough from a severe anxiety attack. Seonghwa squeezes his hand gently, wiping Yeosang's tears, "It's okay sweetheart, it was an accident."

"I..." Yeosang hesitates, wiping his nose, "I also hurt Wooyoung."

Seonghwa frowns, "Where?"

Yeosang points to his arm and slowly points to his belly, his lip trembling, "I'm sorry hyungie."

Seonghwa sucks in a breath through his teeth, the worry settling into his mind now about the unborn baby. Seonghwa shakes his head, cupping Yeosang's cheeks, "Thank you for being honest sweetie, but we need to get Wooyoung to the midwife. How bad was it?"

"He's bruised," Yeosang bites his lip, fiddling with his fingers.

Seonghwa lets out a deep sigh, rubbing his face with both hands, "Has he complained about his stomach hurting? Or has he bled any?" Yeosang slowly shook his head, his eyes watering now at the fear of possibly being the reason Wooyoung loses the baby. He would be devastated if Wooyoung's miscarried because of him. The Luna kisses Yeosang's forehead, cupping his cheeks, "No need to worry. We just need to take him to the midwife just to be sure the baby is alright. We will do that first thing in the morning."

"Yes Luna."
