〚 ch: ten 〛

jaehyuk was sleeping on the couch when the door burst open, revealing a raged junkyu, cursing under his breath. he is startled awake by the noise, his face frowning in confusion as he watches the older walk back and forth inside the room. when he'd had enough, he motioned for him to stop.

"wha-"

"t-the wallet got stolen," he said, his eyes wide and his lips pursed.

jaehyuk went silent. how did his wallet got stolen? they didn't train for months just for his wallet to get stolen.

the older cleared his throat and sat down on the seat, massaging his temples and nose bridge. "i was driving here when i stopped at a store because i was hungry and doyoung told me to buy something for him."

he nodded and urged him to continue

"i sat at one of the tables after purchasing the ramen but left to go to the machine. i- i foolishly left the wallet on the table." he groaned and gripped his hair

"so when you came back, your wallet's gone?" the older nodded

seriously? jaehyuk sighed again before grabbing a bottle of water and handing it to the older

junkyu stared at him confused, "wait, "your" who said it's mine?"

"what?" he asked, utterly confused. it's not his wallet?

"it isn't mine. it's doyoung's wallet, he left it in the living room when he returned home to get something."

he gasped and was about to say something when he was cut off by the latter, who said, "don't tell doyoung, i'll repay him. we're brothers anyway"

"isn't he jeongwoo's doctor?"

"i'm in big trouble" the older said with a nod and a sigh.

outside of the room, two young men were arguing as they walked by.

"shiho, you have a lot of money, why did you steal it? you're such an idiot!" yoshi, the older one scolded him and smacked the back of his head.

when the older hit him, he was taken aback, the older is always soft-spoken and not like this. "i tried it for fun, don't worry, i won't use the money," he said as he caressed his head.

the older rolled his eyes, shaking his head in disappointment before grabbing his hand "let's go, haruto's room is there"

when the two arrived in front of haruto's room, the older opened the door and a sleeping asahi welcomed their sight, but haruto, the patient, was not there.

if you're wondering, he was not admitted because of the explosion. but several weeks after jeongwoo's declared comatose, he started feeling unwell and had a high fever. it's been two days since he was admitted to the hospital, and three of them were unaware that it was due to his soulmate's illness.

they immediately panicked and walked towards asahi, now shaking his shoulder to wake him up.

"asahi, asahi wake up!" both said in unison, asahi groaned and lifted his head. his eyes glaring at the two for disturbing his peaceful nap.

"don't give me that eyes asahi, why are you sleeping and, WHERE IS HARUTO?" yoshi's loud voice totally woke him up, he then cleared his throat and sat properly.

"don't worry, he'll be back in a few. he said he'll visit a friend who's admitted here" asahi told them, mashiho nodded but yoshi gasped and cupped asahi's cheek.
