"You don't have to leave, you know.." Sehun mentioned as he helped his older brother, someone he's spent more time with than others, pack up his belongings into a box. A frown was visible on his handsome features that it didn't go unnoticed. Jae Mi, herself, shot up from what she was doing and nodding towards the ginger-haired male. Her frown almost as noticable as Sehun's. "We really don't want you leave," she pitched in. 

 

A small, yet sad chuckle, escaped Baekhyun's lips — drawing his attention away from what he was doing to look at the younger ones. A small smile plastered his lips as he sighed, "I'm always a call away," he mentioned almost in a matter-of- fact tone. "besides.. it's not like you don't know where I'm going to be." He added while he finishing up his suitcase. Originally, he thought that he'd leave his belongings ( aside from his clothes ) here and just buy new furniture and other necessities where he was moving to, but Jae Mi thought it was better that he saved his money and forget the lesser of the hassles that he had to deal with. Another part of him had yet to send in his immediate resignation papers to the hospital. After witnessing how beautiful Nami looked with Joonmyun engulfing her with their little girl made him lose it — and that was a mere five days ago. Sure he's heard from Nami every now and then, but as far as he knew.. she was still doing her rounds that the hospital that she didn't have time to really spend it with friends — mainly because after having the baby, she didn't work enough to her likely which was the result of this. 

 

"Yeah, like 14 hours across the world," Kihyun mumbled sadly as he joined the three in the debbie-downer mood. A frown plastered Baekhyun's lips as he sighed, finally taking the time to plop down onto the couch to stare at his sadden friends. "Come on, guys," the male said, almost desperately, "I need to start something a new. I can't stand living here when she's here." 

 

"But hyung," Sehun mentioned, plopping down onto the cold floor with a bunch of things that needed packing scattered around him, "you love her. Don't you think she's worth fighting for rather than running off to a foreign country? Away from your family? You friends? I mean, I know I have no say in what you want to do with your life and your feelings, but I just thought that you weren't the type of person to run away when things got rough." Jaemi sighed, plopping down next to Sehun, "But we all have to remember that he was coma for four months, Hun. He's doing it for him, his mind and soul. We think it's wrong of him to go, but if he thinks he's doing the right thing in order to heal and find love again, then so be it. I support it despite hating the fact that I'm losing someone so dear to me." 

 

"Well, you're not losing me. We'll be in touch often," Baekhyun pitched in with a small cheeky smile. 

 

"Hey," the new, yet familiar voices rang while they poked their head into Baekhyun's home, "did we miss the party?" Luhan asked while he stepped into the home. Baekhyun chuckled and shook his head, getting up to greet his fellow friend and brother. "We're just finishing up, you can hang out if you want." He offered but the older simply shook his head. "My bro is leaving, I can't just sit around while everyone is helping him."

 

"Thanks, hyung," Baekhyun ushered, clasping his hand against Luhan's shoulder, "for everything you've done for me." 

 

Luhan simply looked at the younger with a smile: "You're my brother, it's what we're meant to do for one another." 

 

 

Nami

 

The slighest feeling of working without distractions was all Nami could think of. She was so thankful that Joonmyun's mother was willing to babysit their little Misun while she focused on work. She was so thankful that she was capable of getting a good night's sleep without having to hear her little girl cry in the middle of the night. And most of all, she got her 'me time' without Joonmyun around. Sure, he called every other hour to see how she was doing and complimented her when he noticed how radiant she'd gotten without their little girl there to pester her into getting dark baggy circles under her eyes. 

 

And now that Joonmyun was back from his conference thing with the Chief, the house was no longer peacce and quiet because Misun was back and the fight to see who would cry first was back in session. Sure, their little girl was unplanned and uncalled for, but Nami came to accept the fact that she was a mother and that she needed to set a prime example to her princess as she grew each passing moment. 

 

"Hey, sweetheart," Joonmyun called out as he pressed his palm at the small of her back, snapping her back to reality. She offered a meek smile as she looked up to him. "Hey," she uttered softly. "What's on your mind? Tired?" He asked. There he was, back to being the worrisome man that she was never going to get used to. She knew that she should because he was changing himself for the better — and fatherhood took a huge toll on him that he's a different person. Someone worth calling a father and a husband — despite them being no where near married. "I'm fine, just... have you seen Baekhyun lately?" She asked, out of the blue. More like what was on her mind that she really had to say out loud. Joonmyun raised his brows, blinking as his lips thinned. "I met up with him yesterday. He looked like... a zombie, no exaggeration intended."

 

"But is he okay?" She ask
