"HE'S HERE!" Onew ran from his bedroom half dressed as he announced around the dorm of Jonghyun's return.

They had canceled schedule for the day after hearing about the accident, everyone was shocked to hear about another car side swiping Jonghyun and running his Mercedes off the road. He had been at the hospital all morning. The group was on high alert all day because of it, everyone trying to distract themselves from the lack of information surrounding their band mate's injuries.

The sun was setting when the boy's all ran out to the van in whatever state they were in the moment, the manager opening the door for Jonghyun and letting him step out voicing a soft 'give him some air', that went unheeded.

Jonghyun was pulled into hug after hug, every member asking him how he felt as they kept their touch light on the bruised man before Kibum came shakily up from behind.
