Youngmin panicked as Minwoo lost consciousness. Omo, what do I do?? He had no idea that he was THAT hungry and weak. He shook the unconscious boy and called out his name a few times but to no avail. 

Donghyun glanced up at Youngmin and stared at him, obviously asking for an explanation, but Youngmin decided to help Minwoo first.

"Hyung I'll explain later. Now we have to help Minwoo..."

Donghyun nodded and without further hesitation slipped his arms around Minwoo's shoulders and under his knees. Standing up, he lifted Minwoo effortlessly and walked into the cafe. Youngmin trailed behind him.

He was greeted by 3 shocked faces of the waiters. One of them, who was cleaning, rushed up to Donghyun.

"Donghyun hyung, what happened?"

"I'll explain later, but first this boy needs medical attention..he fainted and I think he has a slight fever. Hyunseong can you help me get a basin of cold water and a towel up to my room?"

"And some food..." Youngmin pointed out.

The cleaner Hyunseong nodded in understanding, and asked the other 2 waiters to make a plate of waffles and a coffee. Meanwhile Donghyun carried Minwoo to the second level. Youngmin helped open the room to his hyung's door as Donghyun went in and gently lay Minwoo down on the bed. He stared at Minwoo's face. He was quite pale and looked really thin, but Donghyun couldn't help but noticed how cute he looked; under his closed eyes there were beautiful bright puppy eyes that shone when he first met him just now, and lips that looked so kissable.

He then suddenly snapped out of his thoughts and mentally slapped himself. Kim Donghyun what are you doing?! You barely met this boy why do you like him so much?

Youngmin noticed Donghyun staring at Minwoo. He felt a pang of jealously, but couldn't really blame Donghyun for liking Minwoo, because he really DID look cute and adorable. 

Just then Hyunseong came in with a towel and a basin. Donghyun shook himself back to reality and took the things from Hyunseong, thanking him at the same time. He then dipped the towel in cold water, wrung it and dabbed Minwoo's face gently to wipe off the sweat that was forming. After he was done he rinsed the towel, wrung it and put it on Minwoo's forehead.

"Youngmin ah, why don't you go help the others with the cafe? I'll stay here and take care of him. "

Youngmin nodded and took once more glance at Minwoo before proceeding downstairs. There were not many customers at this hour as most of them would usually drop by during the weekend or during holidays. So Hyunseong was sitting at the counter with  the other 2 waiters, Kwangmin and Jeongmin. Kwangmin was Youngmin's twin brother. They looked exactly alike apart from their hair. As soon as Hyunseong saw Youngmin, he asked about Minwoo's condition.

"He's fine. His fainting was just probably from the lack of food and his sickness..."

Jeongmin, the waiter who was making coffee, looked up and asked. "Youngmin how did you find his boy? He's cute." He grinned playfully only to get a smack in the arm by Hyunseong.

"Oh, I found him crouching in a box this morning when I was passing by an alley. He said he was hungry and I pitied him and so I brought him here." Youngmin replied.

"But how did he end up in a box? Doesn't he have a home?" Kwangmin asked. Youngmin just shrugged. "I don't know. All I know is that his name is No Minwoo and he's 17, and he's really good at dancing too..."

Hyunseong didn't say a word. He was too busy lost in his own thoughts. Somehow he could feel that Minwoo was no ordinary boy, but not dangerous. Minwoo looked like a timid boy with a weak body. Strange though, Hyunseong found him vaguely familiar, like he's seen Minwoo before, he just couldn't remember when.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile, Donghyun was sitting beside the bed Minwoo was on, changing the towel every once in a while and watching him sleep peacefully. Donghyun held back the urge to caress Minwoo's adorable face. Why did it feel like he was so attracted to another boy? This has never happened before, not ever! Donghyun was fighting a mental battle in his brain. What is this feeling?

His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the door opening. He turned around and saw the twins, along with Hyunseong and Jeongmin. 

"What are you guys doing here? Aren't you supposed to run the cafe downstairs?"  Donghyun asked.

"There weren't any customers and we got too bored of waiting so we just came up here and check on this poor little fella." Jeongmin said, his gaze turned to Minwoo lying on the bed.

"He still hasn't woken up...." Kwangmin muttered. "Should we call a doctor or take him to a clinic?"

Just as Donghyun was about to reply, Minwoo stirred a little and everyone's attention was focused on him. They gathered around the bed, seeing if he was going to wake up.

And he did. Minwoo's eyes fluttered open and he looked tired, dazed and confused, His vision could make out 5 people around him through the haziness..and he felt something on his forehead. Soon his vision cleared and realised  the 5 people were Youngmin, Donghyun and the 3 other strangers. Feeling scared he tried sitting up quickly only to be pushed down by not only because of Donghyun but also he felt light headed. He struggled weakly as Donghyun gently but firmly pinned him down on the bed. Minwoo tightly shut his eyes in fear

"Stop struggling, your body's still weak. Don't be frightened we're not going to harm you you're safe now." Hyunseong said in a soothing voice. Minwoo slowly clamed down and opened his eyes and looked around at the 5 people before him with lost puppy eyes. Everyone was screaming in their heads about how cute he was.

Youngmin helped Minwoo sit up while Kwangmin took the plate of waffles he had made and gave it to Minwoo. Minwoo hesitated at first but with some prompting from Kwangmin he accepted it shyly and thanked him gratefully. The waffles really did look delicious. They were topped with whipped cream and fruit. Minwoo took a bite and he realised it tasted better then it looked.

As Minwoo was eating, Donghyun asked him firmly. "Minwoo right? Youngmin told us how he found you. Do you have a home? Where are your parents?"

Minwoo stopped eating and lowered his head. "I...I don't have a home....My parents, th-they abandoned me when I was 2..." He whispered softly, but loud enough for everyone to hear. Everyone didn't say a word, because they were all shocked and pitied poor Minwoo. Donghyun's eyes immediately softened.

"I'm sorry...I had no idea.." he apologised sincerely. 

Minwoo sniffed. "It's fine..." he kept his head hung low. Did they despise him? A dirty, useless unwanted person.

Donghyun did feel guilty for bringing up such an unhappy memory in Minwoo, but he was really curious to find out more. "Do you mind telling us everything that happened?" he asked softly, trying not to further hurt the small boy. 

Minwoo shook his head and spilled out everything. About the orphanage, the rich man, how the maids helped him escape and the men on the hunt for him now. By the end of the story, he was quietly sobbing and tears streaming down his cheeks. Hyunseong, the one who was built with caring instincts for his dongseangs, enveloped Minwoo in a warm hug, rubbing his back and telling him everything was going to be okay. Minwoo cried against his shoulder, and couldn't help but notice the warm comforting feeling spreading through his body. Somehow he found this warming embrace familiar, but couldn't recall.

Finally Minwoo was done crying and Hyunseong broke the hug. Donghyun seemed to be deep in thought, until he spoke up. "Okay Minwoo none of us want to send you back to that horrible place where you were abused by that heartless man. I've heard of him. He's merciless. And since people are hunting you down I suggest you stay here, and if you don't want to feel like a burden, you can always work here as an employee. All 5 of us live together anyway."

Minwoo looked hesitant. He looked around at the others and they all were nodding at him, telling him to go for it. Jeongmin was mouthing the word "Join!" Join!" 

Finally Minwoo agreed and everyone welcomed him into the family, applauding and giving him hi-fives. Donghyun just gave a small smile and ruffled Minwoo's hair. 

Youngmin then spoke up. "Why don't we go somewhere to eat dinner? I think Minwoo here needs some proper food.." 

"And some proper clothes..." Kwangmin added in.

Jeongmin helped Minwoo slowly stand up and observed him from head to toe. He took note of the dirty shirt, partially torn jeans and worn out sneakers.

"erm..yeah he does. Why don't we go to that mall a few blocks away? We can have dinner and buy clothes there"

"Okay sure!!!" Everyone agreed and hurriedly got dressed. Minwoo put on Donghyun's extra coat, although it was much to big for him. The sleeve entirely covered his arms and it came down to way past his waist.

Youngmin couldn't help but giggle at how cute Minwoo's looked. Soon all of them trooped out into the cold whether, and walked hand in hand towards the mall.
