The sleepless night bloomed in every fiber of Hakyeon's muscles as he stumble upon getting up from bed which his legs failed him to do stable standing, his shoulders crying in pain just stretching his arms up thus put it down again in split second and rubbed his temples to ease the skull-splitting headache that rooted from the back of his head to his fore.

Hakyeon shook his head in hopes to get away from unwanted sickness. Maybe he's just tired because of lack of sleep. Maybe...just maybe.

Same routine for this day. He needs to wake up the members for their schedule.

“Leo...” Hakyeon called for the younger with his exhausted worn-out voice, in front of his door but the called person must be still deep asleep in his slumbers because there was no even slight toss and turn of response.

He cannot distract his focus anymore, he directed himself to the kitchen where he spotted the member he called out for a while ago, he didn't pay him attention as he opened the ref and place the glass on the table and pour water into it. He stood beside the vocalist whos leaning his behind lower body on the counter, to open one cab from above and pick up medicine for headache. The younger only looked at him with no questions at hand for now.

Hakyeon pick up one tablet and put the medicine box back the cab and closed it. He sat on the dinner table and was about to take the pill but a hand refrained him for doing so.

He looked only to see Taekwoon was holding his hand that holds the pill.

“You need to eat something before taking that...wait I'll make you breakfast.”

Without further explanation, Taekwoon turned his back and did some magic in the kitchen and no longer turned again and set the said breakfast in front of him.

“Here...eat that first and take that pill. I'll ready a warm bath for you so you'll not get yourself worsen by cold waters.” Taekwoon commanded him. “Don't take too long taking a bath either, might get your headache to colds...and I'll wake the kids so you can take your time eating. Don't worry anymore.” Taekwoon said and left him.

Without the chance to question Taekwoon for his actions or halt the younger for doing what Hakyeon must be doing, the food lured him enough that he was glued on his seat already and his skull is smacking his head muscle that he cannot prolonged the pain anymore so he needs to eat for he can take the pill after even though he's still worried for Taekwoon doing leader stuff.

Taekwoon first targeted Jaehwan who's already awake only fidgeting with his phone that's why he just called out him for breakfast and the younger only answered him 5 minutes and he closed the door.

Taekwoon opened the next door and spotted Hongbin sprawled on his bed blankets between his legs and sleeping like there's no tomorrow. Even Taekwoon didn't want to steal the heaven sleep the younger has, but waking up is inevitable so he still did.

“Hongbin-ah...” Taekwoon shook the visual's shoulder to wake him up.

Hongbin only shook his shoulder too with morning whimpers  to shook away his hyung's hand but the hands were holding him firm that's why Hongbin shake for another quake and yes the hands were gone but he's sleep were gone too and now he's finally awake...probably awaken by his own force.

Taekwoon was about to stand up and leave him but Hongbin spoke up upon realizing it was Taekwoon whose awoken him up.

“Hakyeon-hyung?” He asked immediately.

“In the kitchen.”

“What? Why?” Hongbin asked back then ask again with disbelief. "Don't tell me he's making breakfast?" Hongbin sat up and continue. “I guessed I'll be hungry this morning.” Hongbin laugh without the intention to make fun of their leader's cooking skills.

“Hongbin.” Taekwoon called him to stop.

Hongbin smiled awkwardly and feel fleeing already because he was pinned down by Taekwoon's gaze.

Taekwoon left the room and went to the maknae's room but the maknae was gone already. He closed the door and walked back near the kitchen to direct himself to Wonshik's room. He heard the youngest laughter in the kitchen so decided to continue waking the last member.

He breathes deeply before sitting on the bed beside the rapper and started doing all sorts of annoying wake up tactics Hakyeon would always use. Shake his shoulders, pet his face, ruffle his hair, poke his chest, tickle his sides, neck slice him, knock on his body's lower cheeks and finally doing combinations of the above Wonshik woke up.

“Hakyeon-hyung...10 minutes more please?” The younger begged half asleep without opening his eyes.

Taekwoon smile sheepishly not knowing what to do next.

“Wonshik I'm not Hakyeon so please get up already.”

Wonshik fly opened his eyes quickly and saw Taekwoon was the one who woke him up. A flash of worriness washed over the rapper's face realizing something must not be right.

“Is he fine?”

“What? Who?”

“Hakyeon-hyung...”

“Ahh...” Taekwoon picked it up now. “He's fine. He's eating now. Joined him so he can feel more better.”

Without further ado, the sub-unit stood up and walked to the kitchen in hopes to have breakfast with Hakyeon. But the said person was nowhere to be found in the kitchen.

“Where's Hakyeon?” Taekwoon asked the members who were eating their breakfast.

“Shower.” Came Jaehwan's answer.

The five of them sat side by side and across each other in the kitchen while savoring each bite of their morning savior. Having everyday little talks, updating about each other's private time when they had alone time between schedules and dayoffs for the past few days until they came to talk about the changes in the dorm.

“Hongbin-ah what happened last night?” -Taekwoon

“Well...nothing's fishy. It's just hyung must have been hurt a lot.” -Hongbin

“I see...” -Taekwoon

“I thought hyung has been longed immune by teasings.” -Sanghyuk

“Going back Bin-ah, we didn't wait for you and hyung last night cuz we don't want things to be awkward tho it already was.” -Jaehwan

Hongbin only nodded recognizing Jaehwan's explanation.

“I realized...I think we were just so, and so, and so used to the nth time with hyung waking us up, fuzzing over us even we can take care of ourselves in basic life needs, dorm chores and even when we were sick, almost exaggerating to the point he spoon feed Sanghyuk before. Then a bucket of ice cold water washed over me when I realize I, myself, had done things to Hakyeon that probably hurt him a lot too...” Wonshik stopped for a while to look around s. “Recently, I took notice Hakyeon-hyung's lame excuses like he cannot sing his parts on my songs then later giving it up to Hongbin and Hyukkie...so was when I finally listened to the whole song, I can barely heard hyung sang at all.” He broke another pause. “Hakyeon-hyung is starting to drift himself away from us...I think if he can oust his participation in singing any line in my self-composed songs he would surely do that. He didn't want his life to meddle over us anymore.” He said. “Because I think he thinks the more he made himself into our life the more he became annoyance to us because that's what we had him to feel about himself.” Wonshik bowed his head down, guilty.

“I think so too...the moment he didn't want to spend that dayoff with us...that only confirms.” -Jaehwan

“Before...Hakyeon-hyung will pay me visits on my studio and look over me if I had fallen asleep already or have I eaten my lunch at dinner...or even inviting me for a walk to have exposed to sunlight at least...but now, these past few weeks, or has it been a month already I didn't know but hyung has never went to my studio anymore.” Wonshik narrated as if he's plushie were ripped apart...or was it his heart that has been torn in two?

“Hakyeon-hyung...I thought he's getting his revenge on me by scolding me a lot during practice because sometimes I would under the belt...and that's really make me worse. Where he just wanted to make sure I can improve on myself. But I was blinded by my own insecurities...to the point I had disrespected him one practice night.” Jaehwan said sadly. “I only then realized before hyung would call me or text me non-stop just to congratulate me on my own achievements especially when it comes to singing...I would have longed given up Duet Gayo if it wasn't for Hakyeon-hyung.” Jaehwan reminisce worriedly. “Hyung will always say to me I did really great with every performances...that Ken is not just a main vocal in VIXX but also a vocalist who can heal broken hearts...If I could just sing away Hakyeon-hyung's pain, even if I need to use all of my strength and sing on top of my lungs...I would gave up my voice just to bring back the old him.” A drop of a tear had managed to escape one of Jaehwan's eyes even of how much the vocalist hold them back.

“That would be impossible Jaehwan-ah...Hakyeon will never allow you to lose your voice specially knowing that you'll sacrifice it for him...that's suicide.” Taekwoon contradicted.

Jaehwan only looked at him with teary eyes.

The youngsters looked at Taekwoon in unison hinting him he’s next to confessing after Jaehwan and so he does.

“I'm all thankful for Hakyeon being always there for me everytime I needed him although I was most of the times absent when he needs me. I regretted my actions towards him. I always pushed him away everytime he wanted to hug me, to give me comfort, to save me from being embarass at, to give me everything...then in a blink of an eye, he didn't do it anymore to me...and now I miss him like my life is depending on him.” Taekwoon admitted dejectedly.

“And as for me...I don't know why I acted like this towards him.” Hongbin started. “In fact I loved it. All of those. The 'everytimes' hyung would always be with me...I loved all of those times because I feel at ease having him beside me, I feel safe. Just then it hit me like a bullet I didn't have any chance to dodge it, it makes sense to me now...I'm jealous that Hakyeon-hyung would personally teach Jaehwan-hyung, would always take care of Hyukkie, would rely on Taekwoon-hyung and seek advice from Wonshik...where it was me who he had spent most of training years yet he didn't even mind coming to me for help...and by that I almost gone crazy.” Hongbin said. “Most of the times I wanted to hug him, compliment him he's doing great, he's looking just fine, pat him, round my shoulders on his, every skinship I could do, I wanted to do those to him, but when the time I should have longed executed those...I get feet nailed on the ground, I became statue...I feel more nervous expressing myself than to literally perform on stage.” Hongbin tries to hide his smiles. “But looking back on how I acted was way too reversed on what I have thought...one time I smacked my head and he saw me and he ask me why I did that I ignore him and I smacked myself again.” Hongbin's smile faded and madness took over him. “I take him for granted...I am the worst friend ever and I know that.” Hongbin breathe for a while then continued. “I wanted to make up for him...for all the stupid things I had manage to cause pain for him...I wanted to take all those away...I just don't know how to.” Hongbin dipped down his head trying to hide his tears.

“I can relate, I wanted to do things right for once and for all because...hyung would always be all over me...check my shirt, ask me if I'm hungry, gives me water even I didn't ask for it but he still give me that cuz he would say I'm sweating too much, then ask me what color of my urine was...it was ridiculous but now I know why he's asking me that...he just doesn't want me to be dehydrated.” Sanghyuk chukles. “Hakyeon-hyung will offer me things even before I had asked him those...like he pretends he wanted to hear my script but the fact is, he saw me pacing in my own room with the script on my hands...actually that time I don't know who to ask...I need to practice but Hongbin-hyung is not around and Hakyeon-hyung seems busy that time and yet, he still sacrifice his time for me.” The chuckles heard from Sanghyuk a while ago were banished replaced by deprived voice. “I just then realized how Hakyeon-hyung would help me in every way he can help...even in the smallest thing like reminding me not to let sweats dry on me and or simply giving me health vitamins...they were so, so little actions but when I look at them now...they were really big.” Sanghyuk tries to fake a smile. “Just how big of a heart Hakyeon-hyung has.”
