The doctors cleared her and it was only when the medical team left to process her discharge that Namjoon hugged Yoo-rim, breaking down once again. He told her the truth. "I was so scared, Yoo-rim."

She weakly hugged him back. "I was even more scared, Joon. I thought I wasn't going to see you again."

"I'll kill that ex of yours."

She didn't bother stopping him or attempting to. "Please do. And kill the CEO of Jang Publishers."

He pulled back, surprised. "Why?"

"I'll tell you when we get home. I just really want to leave this place."

The others joined them then and her heart broke when she hugged a crying Taecyeon. She sniffled. "Oh, Taecyeon."

"I'm so glad you're fine, Sunbae." Taecyeon said between sobs. "We need to have a talk but I'm so glad you're fine."

For the first time since they met each other, Yoo-rim willingly tightened her embrace against his body. She knew he loved her; everyone knew. However, she never addressed the feelings because she always saw him as that annoying, yet smart, younger brother that was good at everything he did.

However, as she hugged him, Yoo-rim wondered if it would have been better had she squashed all hopes he had of the both of them being together a long time ago. She could only imagine how he felt when he discovered that she had been engaged all along.

The members took turns hugging her, each one telling her that they were going to kill Young Do and then stating that they were so glad that she was awake. They had one of the drivers take Taecyeon home as his car was still at the parking lot of the headquarters and he was in no state to drive.

It was past 2AM when she was finally cleared and allowed to leave. They all came home with her and in no time, a light dinner was whipped up. The dinner Namjoon had prepared for them with the aid of cooking websites and videos were put into plastic containers and then put in the fridge.

Once she had eaten, she began complaining of a slight headache; something that the doctors had said she would experience and stated that she'd just had to sleep it off. However, if it persisted, they said she'd have to revisit the hospital so they could administer medication.

Getting her to bathe was work as she could barely stand on her own. With a sigh, Namjoon took on the responsibility, the others giving them the needed privacy. He was extra careful in taking off her clothes and if it was any other day, he would have lost it over how insanely perfect her body was but it was a long day and he pushed those thoughts to the back of his head.

He filled the bathtub with warm water, a soft sigh escaping her lips the moment she was placed in. He smiled, grabbing her loofah and bathing gel. "You like it that much?"

She managed a nod. "Yeah, I do."

"Just don't fall asleep on me, okay?"

"I'll try."

She did fall asleep on him and no one could blame her; not when Namjoon softly cleaned her up, almost as though he was scared she'll break if he was even a little rough. He drained the water and filled the tub once more, allowing her stay in for a little longer, holding her so she didn't slip underwater before he carried her out and dried her off with one of the towels in the bathroom.

Getting her into a bathrobe was hard as she made a fuss about just wanting to go to sleep and Namjoon (bless his soul) stayed patient throughout. She ended up in one of his t-shirts which swallowed her whole and he helped her into a pair of loose shorts she had. That's when he finally allowed her lay on the bed and she snuggled under the covers like a little child, causing him to chuckle. He disinfected her graze and then had it covered with a gauze pad before he put everything back in place and headed down to meet the members who had patiently waited.
