Putting the last of his things into the duffel bag, which was not much, San got ready to leave the club, phone in hand.

Slinging the duffel bag over his shoulder, he got up from the deserted dressing room's seat, preparing to leave when the door suddenly opened to reveal Yunho walking in.

"Hey." the taller started, giving a small smile to the blonde who returned it with his own. San's eyes widened upon seeing his blue haired friend.

"Hi giant." San said moving to hug the taller, feeling himself unconsciously cling to his blue haired friend as the other ran a soothing hand over San's back.

San and Yunho hadn't been able to have a proper conversation ever since San had blown the off during their last phone call about Wooyoung.

"I'm here for you, you know. You supported me and Mingi through all this shit so i'm going to do the same for you." Yunho softly spoke to younger who had his head pressed into the tallers chest.

San nodded, feeling overwhelmed and grateful for Yunho's support and existence. He didn't deserve someone as understanding as him.

A sudden urge to cry overcame San as a small sniffle was heard by Yunho who lightly laughed at the smaller, letting his hair soothingly, before letting him go. He didn't know he was craving Yunho's reassurance and support to this extent.

Yunho smiled down at the younger, bringing his hand up to ruffle his blonde hair, earning a yell of protest. Yunho straightened up again, looking at San with a glint in his eyes.

"I saw the same car you left in last time standing on the other side of the road just now while coming here." Yunho informed the other, making San whip his head towards the taller.

"Get going. Or else I'm gonna go mother mode and have a long talk with him before you reach him." Yunho said, eyes twinkling with mischief. San couldn't contain a giggle at that, letting go of the taller male, moving back.

"I'll see you later?" San said, getting his bag again, looking at the other expectantly.

"Of course. You know where to find me." Yunho said, smiling at the younger. "Now get going."

"Bye Hyung." San said happily, moving out of the dressing room, dimpled smile never leaving his face.

Stepping into the cool night air, San's eyes zeroed onto the sleek back car he'd grown accustomed to riding in. He also spotted the owner of the car smoking away another cigarette as per usual.

San made his way over to the silver head who immediately, upon noticing the blondes presence, got rid of the cigarette, having found out the other's discomfort towards the object.

He brought San into a warm hug, gently running his hands though the smallers silk locks. San smiled, leaning into the comforting touch, relaxing into Wooyoung's hold.

Wooyoung gently released the blonde from the comforting grip, holding him at arms length so he could look him in the eye.

"Listen to me San. I know you agreed to all of this, but I just want to make sure you'll remain comfortable throughout you meeting everyone." Wooyoung started. He felt encouraged to continue when he felt San nod against his chest.

"If anything becomes too much- the atmosphere, the people...me, anything, or you need air..." Wooyoung grabbed San's hand and opened up his hand to place a gentle kiss against his palm, smiling at the light pink starting to dust the other's cheek.

"If you need to breathe, do this. I'll understand immediately." Wooyoung said, looking directly at the others face so he could firmly implant the instructions into the blondes head.

San nodded, pulling his hand back to grab Wooyoung's own hand and placing it lightly on his cheek, reveling in the touch. "Thank you." San said softly, closing his eyes.

Wooyoung smiled at the blonde, slowly guiding him into the car.

Once both males were seated, Wooyoung drove away.

San slowly exited the car, adjusting his duffel bag. His eyes took in the building they had parked near.

KQ. The letters stood proudly on display atop the entrance.

Wooyoung got out too, making sure everything was locked. He came over to San and gently taking his hand in his, started making his way to said building.

"You ready?" Wooyoung asked softly once they walked past the security guard stationed at the entrance who didn't even look down as San passed by.

San exhaled deeply, "As ill ever be." He said, smiling reassuringly towards the other.

The two walked into the dimly lit hall just past the entrance, San's grip on the others hand tightening ever so slightly. A dead silence had consumed the area, only being interrupted by the sound of two pairs of feet walking through.

The main entrance hallway was shrouded in darkness, so when a voice suddenly spoke, San let out an indignant squeak and held firmly onto Wooyoung's arm.

"What do you want." Wooyoung said, tone flat as he looked at direction from where the voice came, unfazed.

A short chuckle followed before the lights of the hallway were suddenly turned on, rendering San momentarily blind.

"Good to see you too short stack, short stack's boyfriend." a tall, dark haired male greeted, smiling at San.

San nervously nodded at the taller returning a soft hello.

Wooyoung noticed the smaller's nervousness and placed a comforting hand on his waist, bringing him closer. "San, this is Mingi. Mingi, San." Wooyoung introduced the two to eachother.

San tensed up at the name, Yunho's face immediately flashing through his mind. He wanted to think the similar names were just a coincidence and this person infront of him wasn't the man his best friend was in love with.

Deciding to let the topic go for the time being, San tried to relax into the silver haired boy's hold.

"You didn't disagree to my boyfriend comment so I'm guessing you actually..." Mingi said, voice trailing off as an expression of genuine shock overtook his face before morphing into a smile as he brought Wooyoung into a hug.

"Our leader is finally gonna stop acting emotionless!" Mingi exclaimed, before letting go of Wooyoung to bring a shocked San into an embrace. Despite his over the top excitement, Mingi held the blonde boy gently, whispering a soft, "Welcome to the family." before being pulled off the further stunned boy.

San felt a strong urge to place a quick kiss on Wooyoung's palm but held himself together.

"Calm your tits asshole!" Wooyoung exclaimed, knocking Mingi over the top of his head. San suppressed a giggle at that.

"Mingi here, is our sniper. Can take out anyone with the right amount of concentration and will. His skills are valuable to this team which is why we can't leave him on the streets." Wooyoung finished, fighting back a smile at his own remarks.

Mingi let out a indignant gasp, holding a hand over his chest.

San chuckled before feeling himself being tugged along with Wooyoung. "Yeosang's in the common rooms right?" Wooyoung asked the tallest male.

"Where else would he be." Mingi replied with a smirk.

"I'll see you later then." Wooyoung said already walking away, tugging San along.

"Bye shorties!" Mingi called, letting out a laugh at the curses thrown his way by their silver haired leader.
