---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------

Taemin's POV:

I yawned and opened my eyes to look at the clock. It was nearly 10 AM. A nurse came in and smiled at me.

"Good morning." She greeted. I greeted her back and stood up to stretch my body.

"I'll make her ready for her ECG. The doctor will come soon." She told me and I nodded. I went towards the window and looked out. The sun was shining - means that it would be a good day.

"Ms Alonzo?"

I turned and saw Charlene's doctor waking her up. She groaned and opened her eyes slowly.

"Yes?" She mumbled.

"You will have your ECG now. Don't bother to stand up. The nurses will take you to it."

They then went away leaving me alone. I sighed and got to the cafeteria to get some breakfast. It took me around half an hour until I finished, so I went back into the room when I bumped into someone. I bowed and as I lifted my head my eyes widened. It was Key hyung with Hyungseok and Jihyun noona.

"What are you guys doing here so early?" I asked them surprised.

"We came to visit of course. By the way, how's Charlene?" Hyung asked.

"She had her ECG. She must be in her room by now." Key hyung nodded and we walked up into the room.

"Hyung."

I turned my head only to see Hyungseok grinning at me. I raised a brow.

"What is it?"

He leaned into my ear.

"Minhyuk hyung's going to propose to noona today."

My jaw dropped as those words kept repeating in my head. Propose?!

Hyungseok giggled like a girl as he entered the room cheerfully.

"I swear, he'll turn gay in the future." Key hyung mumbled. I snickered at his comment and watched those two friends.

"CHARLENE!"

Charlene turned and waved with a wide grin.

"Hey, guys!"

 

Hyungseok's POV:

She waved at us and I immediately hugged her.

"How have been girl? I missed you!" I pouted, giving my best puppy look. She chuckled and hit my arm.

"Idiot. I'm okay. Still alive as you can see."

The others chuckled at her answer but I pouted, even more, when the door opened revealing L.Joe and Changjo.

"CHARLENE!!!" Changjo squealed and ran towards her. He hugged her tight and she laughed her off.

"Ahahaha!! Okay, okay! Stop now!!!" she screamed and pushed Changio away. I smiled and looked at Taemin hyung who's also smiling.

"Yaaahh~~ Do you know how worried I was yesterday?! I thought you would die!!!" Changjo whined and Charlene just laughed.

"Don't think of bad things!" she said and hit playfully his head. "Yah, when will they discharge you? I wanna collect you~~" he then asked. Charlene shrugged.

"Um...Taemin hyung, could I talk to you for a moment?..." L.Joe then asked. Taemin hyung went out with him. Charlene, Changjo and I stared at each other.

 

"Should we spy?" I then asked.

"Do you really wanna get busted?" Charlene asked me. I shrugged.

"C'mon Charlene~~ I wanna know it too!!" Changjo whined and she gave in.

"Okay, okay~ But tell me then too okay?" Charlene said and smiled. We both nodded and made our way out of the room.

"Um...annyeonghaseyo doctor. May I ask if you have seen two boys of the same age?" Changjo asked and the doctor pointed to the direction to the cafeteria. We both took newspapers and hid behind them while sitting not for away from Taemin hyung and L.Joe.

 

Narrator's POV:

"Hyung, could you do me a favour?" L.Joe asked. Taemin sat up straight.

"What is it?" he asked.

"Please take care of Charlene..." L.Joe suddenly said.

"B...b...bwoh?" Taemin asked with widened eyes.

"I will leave her in your hands~"

"W...w...wae?" L.Joe sighted. Changjo and Hyungseok watched as L.Joe stood up from his seat and went.

"L.Joe!" Taemin suddenly said. L.Joe turned.

"Why? Why right now?" L.Joe lowered his head.

"I'll tell you another day..." he said and continued to walk. Taemin sat there dumbfounded not knowing what to do right now. Hyungseok stood up and ran towards Taemin as nothing happened.

"Hyung-ah!! H...h...h...h..." Hyungseok acted as if he just ran and breathed heavily.

"Hyung. What happened?" he asked Taemin. Taemin shook his head and looked at Hyungseok confused.

"Huh? Oh...nothing...nothing..." Taemin answered and stood up. He then made his way back.

"Changjo-ah. Do you know what L.Joe meant with 'Please take care of Charlene'?" Hyungseok asked while Changjo went towards him.

"I don't know either hyung...I mean, our concert is still next year." Changjo answered him.

"Guys? We will leave now!" they both turned their heads and saw Key and Jihyun waving hands. They also waved their hands and continued to talk.

 

"How's life so far?" Hyungseok suddenly asked.

"Well, you know. Schedules here, schedules there. And supporting L.Joe hyung." Changjo told him.

"Do you think Charlene could get together with Taemin hyung?" Hyungseok suddenly asked.

"I don't know either...if L.Joe hyung can let her go, then...*sight*...we will see..." Changjo answered him.

"You also liked Charlene, didn't ya?" Changjo then asked and Hyungseok nodded.

"But I was able to let her go thanks to a wonderful person, still I wanna see Charlene smiling, I want to see her loving, I want her to be happy, no matter who the lucky one is. All I want is her to be happy so that she doesn't feel lonely again..." Hyungseok said and Changjo sighted.

"Hyung...I have to admit something..." he then said. Hyungseok looked up.

"I had the same problem..." Hyungseok gave Changjo a shocked look.

"I know, I know. But Charlene just sees me as a brother as long as I know..." Changjo continued.

"Good thing we were both able to let go then..." Hyungseok said and Changjo nodded.

"Isn't this L.Joe hyung?" Changjo suddenly asked. Hyungseok looked in the same direction. They both stood up and ran towards L.Joe.

"YAH HYUNG!!!" Changjo shouted. L.Joe stopped and looked up with a fake smile.

"What happened?" Hyungseok then asked.

"Nothing. You can get into the room." he then said and looked down again. Both looked at each other confused. They then made their way into the room again.

 

When they entered it, they found Charlene hugging Taemin's arms. They both ran towards those two.

"Yah~ What happened?" Hyungseok asked worried but Charlene did not response.

"Are you okay again?" Taemin then asked but still no response.

"Wait a minute, okay? I will go out with Hyungseok and Changjo." Taemin said in a calm voice and released the hug. They both followed Taemin out in front of the room and closed the door.

"What happened hyung?" Hyungseok asked curiously.

"You should ask Charlene by yourself because I don't know too..." Taemin answered them.

"Is it because of L.Joe hyung?" Changjo then asked.

"Maybe..." Taemin said and shrugged.

"Hyung...what did L.Joe meant with 'Take care of Charlene' or else?" Hyungseok suddenly asked. Changjo glared at him.

"Huh? Wait... Don't tell me you were the ones with the newspaper and the cup of coffee!" Taemin said with widened eyes. They both bowed several times.

"But why?!" Taemin then asked.

"We asked Charlene if we should do it-"

"She resisted at first-"

"And then she gave in-"

"And agreed to it..." They both answered him. Taemin sighted.

 

Suddenly they heard something crashing in the room. They busted into the room. The food was spilt all over the ground. Charlene sat there on the bed, holding her face in between her legs and crying her heart out like there's no tomorrow. Hyungseok ran towards her and comforted her.

"Yah~ Ssshhh~~ What's wrong honey?" he asked and hugged Charlene. She did not stop sobbing and also did not respond. Taemin and Changjo picked up the fragments and cleaned the ground.

"Charlene~~ What's wrong??" Hyungseok asked again.

"I don't know either..." she said sobbing. Taemin and Changjo went towards them and hugged Charlene too.

"Lol~ Now I'm surrounded by boys~" she laughed and wiped her tears away. Hyungseok then took his phone out.

"Miguel wrote to me..." he said and took a seat. "What did he write?"

Miguel🔒 @migonyourmug • 1h

"He's just worried about you~," Hyungseok said in a calm voice and scrolled down for other tweets.

"Huh? Who's John P...Pi...Pi...?" Hyungseok suddenly asked. Charlene snatched his phone away and her eyes widened.

John Pineda @johnpnd • 2d
@/prince_seokie um...hi there! u seem close with Charlene. could u tell her that i'll fly to korea with her brothers? we will arrive in about 2 hours. thanks!

Her eyes widened. She watched at the time when he wrote it.

2 days ago

Suddenly someone knocked on the door. Changjo opened it. It revealed her older brother Anthony. Then another person stepped into the room. It was...

...JOHN?!
