Finding a New Path

17

Haknyeon seemed healthier and he was recovering well. His pheromone levels had reduced significantly and that was a great thing for him and for everyone else. His doctors were also very pleased with how quickly he had recovered. The doctors were satisfied with the progress that Haknyeon was making and they were glad that everything looked good. They expected Haknyeon to continue to get better and they expected the pheromones to reduce even more, so they were optimistic and hopeful about Haknyeon's recovery.

"I'm proud of you, Haknyeon. You been doing great to recover" said Kevin.

"Thank you. If not because of you, I don't know what will happened to me" said Haknyeon.

"And your doctor said you can release from the hospital today" said Kevin.

"Really? I can go home today?" asked Haknyeon excited.

"Yes, you are" said Kevin.

"Am I gonna still wearing this collar?" asked Haknyeon.

"Yes. Even your pheromone is reduced now but they afraid it might out of control again if you didn't wear the collar. It's for your safety" said Kevin.

"Okay. If you said that, then I'll just keep wearing it" said Haknyeon.

"I'm sorry. If you want to open the collar, you can. Just when there's no one around you" said Kevin.

"Okay. I'll remember it" said Haknyeon.

"I miss you, Haknyeon" said Younghoon while hugging Haknyeon.

"I miss you too, hyung" said Haknyeon.

It had been two days since they had seen each other. Younghoon wanted to visit Haknyeon at the hospital but the doctor told him to remain isolated at home for three days. He still had one day to go but he was glad that Haknyeon was at home now.

"Are you tired? Are you hungry?" asked Chanhee.

"I already miss your cooking, Chanhee hyung" said Haknyeon.

Chanhee chuckle.

"Let me make something for you" said Chanhee.

Haknyeon was still in recovery and he had taken his medicine. He ended up falling asleep after he ate. He was tired and he wanted to rest and to recover. Eric and Sunwoo slept with Haknyeon in his room while he was recovering.

When Haknyeon was back at home, Eric and Sunwoo were both crying and saying sorry to him. Haknyeon told them that it was not their fault. He didn't blame them for what had happened and he just wanted to make sure that they all got along and that there was no hostility or bad feelings between them.

Juyeon and Changmin were also in the room observing the three youngers as they slept. They were not sleeping themselves, but they were watching over them

"He's alright now, Juyeon" said Changmin and grab Juyeon hand.

"Yeah. I was still remember how that man sitting on top of Haknyeon. I was too angry. I want to catch him and beat him" said Juyeon.

"I know how you feel, Juyeon. I know" said Changmin.

"Hyung..."

Juyeon and Changmin looked at Haknyeon as he slept. They noticed that Haknyeon was asleep but he was whining in his sleep. He was having a bad dream and it seemed like he was distressed and upset in the dream.

Juyeon came to the bed closer and grab Haknyeon's hand.

"It's okay. It just a nightmare" said Juyeon and stroking Haknyeon's head.
