"What happened?" Chenle asked, he was left in the dark this whole time, no one spoke, Jaemin looked down, Myunghee was asleep, Jeno and Renjun both looked uninterested with anything they did.

"Sehee was being a dick again, that's what happened," Haechan said, his mind was still full of what he saw in that room, his head not letting him forget the look on her face when he found her there.

He sighed, looking towards Jaemin.

"Hey," he called the boy who turned slowly.

"I don't know if it was all Sehee," Haechan said and Jaemin frowned.

"What do you mean?" Chenle asked.

"I just think she's got something else bothering her too," Haechan said and Jaemin thought of it till he knew exactly what it was.

"Her father," he whispered.

"What?" Jeno asked.

"Her father was like him too- Sehee, she must've been reminded of him," Jaemin said and the mood once again shifted.

"Let her sleep well for now, we'll do whatever we can to help once she's awake," Jeno told the boys.

Myunghee was sound asleep in Jaemin's room, he was worried that she would wake up afraid and simply asked her to rest there. The boy sat beside her sleeping figure, his fingers going to wipe away a drop of tear, thumb caressing her cheek and she shuffled a bit, eyes slowly opening to see the boy seated in front of her.

She didn't smile, her eyes sleepy and small from all the crying, her eyelids fluttered for a few seconds before she closed them tight.

"Why do you look like that?" Myunghee whispered and Jaemin breathed out in solace, she finally spoke.

"Like what?" Jaemin asked.

"Like you're sad," Myunghee said and Jaemin frowned.

"How could I not be?" Jaemin asked and she opened her eyes to look at him once again, she looked up at him when he neared her forehead to place a longing peck on her temple.

"Sleep well," he told her as she slowly drifted to sleep.

The next morning was hectic.

"Quick, I heard the bathroom door closing, she must be awake," Chenle whispered to Renjun who was cooking the last batch of pancakes.

"Why are you telling me that?! Tell Haechan to start the movies and be ready!" Renjun whisper shouted at Chenle who pursed his lips before quietly jogging towards Haechan to pass the message.

Myunghee looked at herself in the mirror, her usually pale lips were a deep shade of red and her feline eyes looked even smaller since her cheeks puffed up. Jaemin who slept with her the night before wasn't on the bed anymore which did surprise her right off the bat.

"Toy story!" Jaemin told Haechan as he searched through the many DVDs in their house.

"Yes I heard you the first time, now shut the fuck up," Haechan told Jaemin with his wide doe like eyes.

"It feels nice to be handicapped," Jeno said with a smirk, his phone on his left hand as he scrolled down and his right hand in a cast, he was the only one seated comfortably while the rest were busy making the day memorable for Myunghee.

"Better tighten those lips before I end up breaking the other arm too," Renjun told monotonous while putting in the last scoop of pancake batter on the heated pan and waiting for it to cook.

"Okay done!" Haechan said and like two 12-year-old excited girls, Jaemin and Haechan clapped their hands together with cheeky smiles.

"I'll set up the plates!" Chenle told Renjun and walked with the plates to the hall where Jaemin, Haechan and Jeno were seated.

Myunghee finally stepped out of the room, her eyes searching for the boys till she saw them all in the living room, the lights were all out but the rooms looked a shade of yellowish orange as sunlight peeked through the curtains.

Her eyes met those of Haechan's who immediately smiled like a 5-year-old, that was never good.

She looked at the TV that they all had their eyes on, Toy Story played and the smell of maple syrup reached her nostrils. The aroma of freshly cooked pancakes filling the room and Myunghee quietly sat beside Jaemin, his hand went to hold hers, fingers interlacing with each other and Renjun who saw the action, smiled, his heart melting at their skinship.

"Who's your favorite character?" Renjun asked as the movie begun.

"Woody," said Haechan.

"Buzz Light-year," said Jeno.

"Jessie," said Chenle.

"Sid," Renjun said and earned many grossed out stares.

"What the fruit dude? Why would you ever like that crackhead?" Haechan complained while the others cringed at Renjun's taste in cartoon characters.

"So much for being honest," Renjun mumbled distastefully.

"Who is your favorite character Myunghee?" Jeno asked and Myunghee bit her lip in thought.

"The Rex," Myunghee said, her voice low.

"No way, for real? Or did Jaemin tell you to say that?" Chenle asked.

"That's Jaemin's favorite too," Renjun said and they all smiled, eyes forming crescents and Jaemin threw the closest pillow towards them. They chuckled but Myunghee still had a straight face, her head slowly nodding to the boys' words and she watched the movie quietly. Chenle bit his lips, knowing Myunghee wasn't reacting the way they wished for her to.

Jeno nod towards the boys, trying to assure them that she will come by eventually, and that, only time could tell.
