~Time skip: 1 week~

Everything had been looking up for Hyunjoon. He and Chanhee weren't official just yet, but Hyunjoon planned to finally ask this very day. As he stood outside Chanhee's house, he suddenly got a call. "Kevin? What's-" He quickly made a mad dash to the bus stop. He wished the bus would hurry up, hoping he'd get there in enough time. "Kevin, are your parents there? No? What kind of...just stay on the phone with me and just think of me."

He took out the keys from under the flower pot then unlocked the front door of the Moon household. Kevin's parents had copies made in case of emergencies. Hyunjoon rushed upstairs then burst through the bathroom door. He quickly dialed 119 then grabbed a towel to wrap around Kevin's wrist. "God damn it, Kevin!" He noticed Kevin had started to stir, so he used his free hand to slap him awake. "Joon...?" "In the flesh. What happened?" "I don't know...I just got an urge...an impulse. I called you hoping it'd go away." "Of all times for them to be out..." They heard the faint sound of sirens and Hyunjoon let out a sigh of relief. "Guess I'm going back, huh...?" "Most likely..."

Hyunjoon rode with Kevin in the back of the ambulance as they quickly drove to the nearest hospital. "Joon." "Yeah?" He felt Kevin hold his hand loosely. "Have I ever told you that your eyes seem to shine like stars when I look at them?" "Thank you." Kevin had let go of his hand and started to drift off, but the paramedic wasn't having any of that.

Hyunjoon watched as Kevin was wheeled away. "Kevin..." He sat down then put his head in his hands. It was supposed to be a joyous day, but it ended up like this. He couldn't fathom what had caused the trigger in Kevin's mind. "Joon!" He looked up and saw Changmin jogging over to him. "Changmin, why are you here?" "Kevin hurt himself didn't he?" Hyunjoon looked over Changmin, unsure if he's being genuine or not. "How do you know it's Kevin?" "He called me, but I couldn't answer. I called back but there was no answer."

Hyunjoon heard so many holes in Changmin's reason that he started to think he could've done it. "That makes no sense. Chang, just be honest. Did you do this to him? Did you fucking cut his wrist?" "I swear, I didn't! Why would I kill someone!?" "I don't know, you are still being ordered around aren't you? Even if he isn't around?" He could see that Changmin was furious, but that couldn't compare to how he was feeling. "No. He's not. It ended after he was expelled. I'll tell you everything. I did see Kevin today and he looked fine. Even when I left, I didn't sense anything. I was heading off to do some errands and I saw an ambulance rush off in the direction of Kevin's home." "Why didn't you just say that in the beginning?" "You wouldn't have believed me." Hyunjoon sighed then walked away to go call his father.

The nurse had finally let him in to see Kevin after hours of them pleading. "He's sleep..." "Of course he would be, idiot." Hyunjoon approached Kevin then moved a few strands of hair from his eyes. "Do you know what triggered him, Joon?" "No. I didn't have time to check for that." Hyunjoon noticed that Kevin had started to stir. "Am I okay?" "Yeah, thanks to Joon here." "Kevin, can you tell us what happened?" Kevin had looked away from them, so Hyunjoon decided not to push. "Well, they notified your parents and they're heading here as we speak. Just focus on getting better, Kev. We'll be here if you need us, if we can that is." "Thanks." They quietly walked out and Hyunjoon felt a few tears sting his eyes. "He'll be okay, Joon. If he did it once, he can do it again. Get through rehab I mean."

Hyunjoon noticed his father waiting by the entrance of the hospital. "Is he okay...?" "For the most part. Wasn't too deep." His father sighed as he ushered them out of the door. "I hope this is the last time you have to see such a scene, Hyunjoon." "I hope so too." "Now, both of you get in so we can get you home." They got into the car and drove off in silence.

Hyunjoon and his father entered the house and went to their respective rooms. Hyunjoon was too tired and stressed to bother with his phone. He turned it off then closed his eyes as he lied down on his bed.

Morning had come and Hyunjoon was glad that his father had let him stay home from school. "Make sure you ask about the work you missed. I'll see you later." He nodded as he put more food in his mouth. He dialed Changmin's number and waited for him to pick up. "Yo." "I'm not going to be in school, do you mind?" "Don't worry, I got you covered as always." "Thanks." He hung up then started stabbing his food. He couldn't help but think of Kevin. "Kevin wouldn't be like this if it wasn't for their dumb asses..."

Hyunjoon was awakened by the sound of his ringtone. He groggily answered as he stretched out. "Joonie? Are you home?" "Yeah. Is something up?" He let a confused expression form on his face as Chanhee had suddenly hung up. Not too long after, he heard the doorbell ring multiple times. "This kid..." He unlocked the front and opened it. Hyunjoon nearly fell back as he was suddenly embraced by Chanhee.

"School was let out not too long ago. Did you run here or something?" "That's not important right now. Are you sick? Hurt?" Hyunjoon shook his head then felt Chanhee relax in his arms. "Kevin is hurt, though. He'll be fine, we know that he's tougher than this." "Do I want to know what happened?" "Not if you can't handle gory details." "Then I'd rather not." Hyunjoon invited Chanhee in then closed the front door. They sat down on the couch and Hyunjoon draped an arm over Chanhee's shoulder. "I was going to go see you yesterday, but the Kevin situation happened." "Oh. Just to hang out?" "No. I had something to ask you." "And what question is that?"
