“Ji, have you seen my phone?” Joshua walked up to Jihoon who was sitting on the dance practice room's cold floor with his phone in his hand. “No, why?” asked Jihoon as he got up and stretched his arms. “I can’t find it. It's not in my bag or anything too.” Jihoon frowned and looked around the room to see if he could spot Joshua’s phone. “Did you leave it at the dorm?” Joshua just shook his head left and right to Seokmin, who was laying down next to Jihoon, and pushed his hair out of his face. “Should I try calling it?” Mingyu asked, he overheard their conversation and wanted to help. “I don’t think it’s necessary. I’ll go look for it in the car. Maybe I left it there.” Jihoon shrugged his shoulders and pulled Mingyu down to cuddle with him. Since this didn’t happen often, Mingyu happily laid down as others groaned because Jihoon chose him.
“Just be back in 15 minutes. If you are not back by then, we will go look for you, okay?” Joshua nodded at Junhui and quickly made his way to the door after taking a sip from his water. After what happened two weeks ago, no one wanted to leave him alone whether he was going out of the dorm to get groceries or just walking around the company. Knowing that Joshua’s father somehow had access behind the company doors despite the security system made chills run down Jihoon’s back as he watched Joshua wave at them and open the practice room door to go out. He sighed slowly and stared at the door as it closed behind Joshua’s back.
Mingyu pulled him back to his arms and hugged Jihoon close as he whispered to his ear. “It’s okay. He will be alright, it will just take a few minutes. We can go check on him together if you feel uneasy about him going to the car alone.” Jihoon nodded as he hid his face in the curve of the taller man’s neck and snuggled closer to him as the others watched them adoringly in silence, knowing that Jihoon might not let them survive if they made adoring noises or took any pictures. “I just have a bad feeling about it, promise me you will come with me to look for him if he does not come back in 15 minutes?” Mingyu nodded and whispered slowly. “Promise.”
During this time, Joshua mumbled a song as he walked to the back door of the company. Not many people knew about it and it was the best way to get out of the company without having to deal with interviews, sasaeng fans if you did not want to be bothered that day. But, the back door was in a very old part of the building. Sometimes the members would find the hallway that the door is located in not cleaned in a while if they decide to get out from that door. No one really talked about it and Joshua didn’t really think people except those who clean the hallways knew about it.
Thinking that he would be alone, he confidently walked to the hallway and turned to the side, where the door was. His whole body froze, his eyes went wide as his hands started to tremble in fear. “W-what are you doing here?” His voice was barely louder than a whisper. His father was standing there, leaning against the wall with a smirk on his lips. Despite being told to not enter the company building ever again, he was here. Right in front of Joshua’s eyes. “You don’t seem to be happy to see me again, son.” Joshua felt tears forming in his eyes, his lips and hands trembling as the man stepped closer to him. “You couldn’t keep your mouth shut, could you?” The older man’s voice was playful, yet so dangerous.
Joshua broke their eye contact and turned his head to see if there was anyone to help him in the hallway. But there was no one. Not even any staff member or idols who're running to their schedules. Just when he tried to quickly run away from the older man, he was pulled by the collar of his shirt into the hallway. This was the part that you couldn’t see if you didn’t stand right in front of it. Joshua felt his back hit the hard floor harshly as a large hand covered his mouth. Not knowing what to do, he closed his eyes to prevent the tears from dropping and tried to breath through the small opening between his fathers fingers.
“Please, stop it!” He could only talk when the man opened his mouth to put his legs on both sides of Joshua’s body. His father pressed his knee on top of his lungs when he tried to get up on his feet. “Stay still.” His father groaned and pinned Joshua’s hands on the floor, then put both of his knees on Joshua’s hands to keep it still, also giving Joshua a chance to breathe. Joshua gasped for air when he felt a hard punch on his stomach. He stayed still, not knowing what to do. But the punches continued, even when he tried to kick the man on top of him. “Why?” His voice was wobbly and quiet. The man smirked and let out a chuckle. “ Why ?” He mocked Joshua’s voice as he got up, taking his knees off of the position where they rested on Joshua’s hands.
He looked at Joshua who curled up in a ball, blood running down from his eyebrow and lips bloody. “Because if you didn’t run from the house like that, I would have a great life. Do you understand?” He shouted, knowing there was no one around. He kicked Joshua’s body several times. Joshua’s legs were going numb and he could feel his chest bruising and bleeding already. He screamed in pain when he felt another kick on his ribs, then a heavy breathing next to him. “You’re lucky that I didn’t hit your pretty face, son. Try to shut up about this one.” He sobbed when his father pulled his hair, forcing him to get his face out of where he had tried to hide it between his arms which were covered in bruises. “I’ll see you again, son. ”
Joshua let out a whimper as the older man let go of his hair. His tears ran down his cheeks quietly. Every breath he took felt like his ribs were getting broken because of how many kicks he got on his torso. He let out a quiet sob as he tried to get up. He placed his hands on the side, which weren’t hurting as much as he thought, surprisingly. He screamed in pain when he moved his torso up. To not gather more attention, he placed his hand on his mouth to keep his screams muffled as he managed to get up somehow. He balanced himself with one hand on the wall, but he soon needed his other hand since he was stumbling. He bit his lip to prevent making any loud noises and slowly walked to the dance practice room.
His legs were shaking, hurting with every step he took. He stumbled to the door and held onto the door handle for support. He tightened his grip on the door and slowly opened it, struggling to keep his balance. No one noticed that he entered the room first, they were too focused on one part of the choreography that they were talking about. He could close the door behind him before his legs gave out and he had to lean against the wall before he fell on the floor with a thud. Jihoon was the first one to notice him when he slowly tried to walk towards them. He saw Jihoon’s eyes fill with tears and concern as he ran towards him. Joshua’s legs gave out the moment Jihoon held him in his arms. He sobbed, tears rolling down his cheeks.
“Shua, hyung, come here.” Jihoon slowly turned Joshua’s shaking body to the corner of the room and led him to the sofa that they use to put their bags on. “Vernon, Seungkwan, can you grab the bags and put them on the floor in the other corner please?” Jihoon turned his head towards the members as Vernon and Seungkwan quickly reached for the bags. As they walked to the other corner with the bags in their hands, Jihoon made Joshua sit on the sofa as he crouched down to face Joshua. “Hyung, what happened?” He asked softly while still panicking inside, of course he had noticed the scars and blood around Joshua’s face but he didn’t want to overwhelm the older by mentioning them.
The members stayed away from them, their concern about the blood around Joshua’s body could be read from their faces but no one got any closer to Jihoon and Joshua, thinking that they would like an alone moment together. Jhang didn’t get an answer to his question, but he didn’t mind. He caressed Joshua’s hair and whispered “It’s okay.” to his ear several times. The older’s sobs quieted down after a while, only sniffles and heavy breathing were left. Jihoon wrapped his arms around Joshua just to meet with the older, letting out a painful whimper and pushing his arms away. Jihoon frowned and looked at Joshua with worry. “Baby, can you let me lift up your shirt?” Jihoon asked softly, not wanting to sound like he was forcing the older.
Joshua stopped for a moment and wiped his nose with the tissue he was given by Minghao before answering in a wobbly, quiet voice. “Yes.” That was all Jihoon needed to hear, he grabbed the shirt and slowly lifted it up, he didn’t want it to hurt the other since he didn’t know how bad his condition was. A few gasps were heard around the room, causing Joshua’s tears to start running down his cheeks. Jihoon completely froze when he saw Joshua’s body. The older’s chest and stomach were filled with bruises and bleeding cuts. Mainly his chest area was covered in a lot of blood and bruises. “Hyung…” Soonyoung was the only one who spoke up from the rest of the members.
The others who were standing a bit far away from them were a bit closer and most of them had teary eyes as they looked at Joshua’s condition. “Is it bad?” Joshua’s voice caught Jihoon’s attention and he immediately lowered his shirt down when Joshua proceeded to look at the bruises. “It’s going to be okay, baby. Now let us help you with these, hm?” Jihoon asked while slowly caressing Joshua’s chest without hurting him. He called out for a few members when Joshua nodded. He placed a kiss on the older’s forehead and wrapped his arms around him, acting carefully and not tightly pressing his limbs to the other. “Chan, Wonwoo and Minghao. Can you get me the first aid kit? It should be in one of the drawers where the computer is.”
Chan quickly walked to the computer they use to play songs and grabbed the first aid kit then ran rapidly towards Wonwoo and Minghao who were next to Jihoon and Joshua. They opened the kit and grabbed the bandages and required medicine from inside while Jihoon slowly took off Joshua's shirt to make the bandaging process easier and without hurting him even more. It hurt a lot when the shirt brushed against his bruises but Joshua bit his lips to keep himself from groaning in pain. After taking off the shirt, Jihoon stopped for a moment and reached for his phone, placing the bandages and medicine inside the bag again.
“Hyung?” Vernon called out to Jihoon in confusion as the older took pictures of Joshua’s bruises from every angle possible. “If we want to do something about this with the police or some other thing, we have proof.” Vernon nodded as the rest of the members helped Jihoon to wrap the bandages around Joshua’s wounds and clean them. Joshua groaned in pain when Jihoon applied the liquid medicine to the bleeding parts. “It’s going to be okay, hyung. I can slow down if you want me to.” Jihoon looked up to Joshua as the older one nodded with dried tears around his cheeks. Jihoon placed the medicine on the tissue that they put out so it won’t touch the floor once again and placed a kiss on Joshua’s cheeks. “It’s okay, hyung.”
The older one sniffed and wiped his tears that started to form in his eyes. After they were done, Mingyu gave his hoodie to Joshua so the fabric won’t touch the bandages since the hoodie was baggy on Joshua. It was getting late when they made sure that everything was okay and Joshua changed so they decided to head home. “Everyone, don’t forget your bags here!” Jun called out to the members, who were watching Jihoon give comforting kisses to Joshua and wrap his arms around him with a sweet look in their faces. Jun giggled and repeated himself again. “Come on. I know they are adorable but we need to go.” He chuckled when the members picked up their stuff without any argument. Jihoon also got Joshua’s bags and water bottle as he grabbed his stuff from the floor.
He held Joshua’s hand and slowly started to walk to the door. Seokmin hurried next to Joshua and put his arm around the older waist carefully so as not to touch the bandages without noticing. They soon made it to the car and the driver drove them to the dorm. Jihoon sighed and caressed Joshua’s hand with his thumb. Today was the day Jeonghan and Seungcheol were finally coming back from their overseas schedule and he didn’t tell them anything about the situation yet. He turned his head to the side and softly smiled when he saw Joshua sleeping with his head on Seungkwan’s shoulder.
He watched the older as he finally looked comfortable and relaxed while being in deep sleep. Tears started to slowly stream down his cheeks, but he didn’t pay attention to them. Joshua took deep breaths with a calm expression, he wrapped his right arm around Jihoon’s arm as held his hand tightly. His other arm was resting on his lab. “Hyung?” Jihoon quickly turned his head to where the voice came from. Seokmin was the one who called out to him. Since they were the only two awake in the whole van, Jihoon’s sniffles were heard quite easily. “I’m okay.” Seokmin just gave a comforting smile to Jihoon and went back to his phone.
Once they all got off the van and made their way to the dorm, Jihoon handed the key to Seungkwan so he could open the door while Jihoon woke Joshua up. “Shua hyung, Shua?” He called out to the older softly, to not scare him when he woke up. “Hm?” Joshua hummed as he opened his eyes slowly. He blinked a few times to adjust to the lights since the vans lights were on and looked at the younger for an explanation. A giggle left his lips at his hyungs cuteness when he woke up, but still managed to give an answer. “You fell asleep on the way home, everyone did actually. Seokminnie and I were the only ones awake. I wanted to wake you up so we could talk but you looked so peaceful while sleeping.”
Joshua smiled at the younger to thank him while stretching his arms out. He yawned before slowly getting out of his seat and hugging Jihoon to keep his balance. “You can sleep as much as you want when we get to the dorm, but let's just go there first hyung.” Joshua nodded and stepped slowly to the dorm, still sleepy. Jihoon thanked the driver and walked behind Joshua. “Let’s go, Shua hyung.” Joshua smiled as he sighed in exhaustion and leaned against Jihoon while still walking. Jihoon carefully wrapped his arm around Joshua and walked him inside. Joshua ran slowly in little steps as he made his way to the couch after taking off his shoes.
He dropped himself on the couch carefully and looked for the younger. “Ji, where are you?” He called out, his voice was still a bit stained from the crying but he could shout loud enough for Jihoon to hear him. “I’m coming, I just have to lock the door. Wait for me, baby.” Joshua giggled as Jihoon quickly laid down next to him and pulled him to his chest. “I’d love to sleep on top of you right now but we have to change places for now.” Jihoon explained when the older yelped in surprise when he found himself on top of the younger. “Are you sleepy?” The older one asked Jihoon. “Yeah, should we sleep now? I know you want to.”
Joshua nodded and closed his eyes. He slowly started to drift off to sleep when he felt Jihoon caressing his hair, Jihoon watched him adoringly as the older’s breathing relaxed and his lips parted slightly. He wasn’t sleepy, he didn’t want to sleep at all actually. But it was worth it in the end since Joshua got to sleep.
Jeonghan opened the entrance door quietly and got inside. Seungcheol followed him with quiet steps and closed the door behind them. “Are they still asleep or not home?” Seungcheol asked the other when he didn’t hear anything coming from the inside of the house. “There is nothing scheduled for today. They should be home. I don’t know if they are sleeping though.” Jeonghan answered. They have been on a separate schedule from others and they had to go overseas for it. It was around 9 in the morning and it did seem like no one had woken up yet. They came back from their schedule an hour ago and they arrived at the dorm around ten minutes ago.
After knocking for at least five minutes, they decided to open the door themselves, thinking that the members must still be asleep. They made their way to the living room slowly. Jeonghan left his bags on the floor and Seungcheol followed his actions before entering the living room. The members, which they thought were asleep, were whispering and giggling quietly. At first, they were confused but soon realized why when they walked a bit further into the room. It looked like Ihoon and Joshua wanted to sleep in the living room together instead of going to their room.
And now, Jihoon was laying on the couch on his back, sleeping peacefully with Joshua laying between his arms, their legs tangled together under the soft white blanket that the members covered them with when they found them cuddling together in the morning. He had wrapped his arms around Joshua’s chest, around the part that didn’t have many bruises. Joshua’s lower body was almost on top of Jihoon and they were still surprisingly asleep despite the members taking photos of them to later tease them about their cuddles, especially Jihoon since he says he doesn’t like skinship even though it’s obvious that it is the complete opposite when it comes to Joshua.
The two oldest smiled at the sight and giggled, catching some of the members' attention. “Hyungs?” Chan quickly ran to them after getting up from the floor and handing his phone to Vernon who was sitting next to him. He hugged Jeonghan and Seungcheol tightly and whispered in their ear. “We found them like this in the morning. Did Jihoon hyung tell you what happened yesterday?” The two older’s smiles turned into a frown since Jihoon didn’t tell them about anything. Seungcheol pulled back from the hug and looked at the other members with confusion as they were now standing, looking at them.
“No, Hoon didn’t tell us anything. We didn’t even get to talk yesterday, what happened?” Jeonghan quickly joined in the conversation. “Are you guys okay, did something happen to you?” With their concern being easily read from their faces, the members hesitated to tell them what happened. Chan, who pulled back from the hug after the older’s questions started, scratched the back of his head as he stared at the floor. “Jun hyung and Wonwoo hyung, maybe it’s better if you say it?” The two nodded at Soonyoung and stepped ahead. After a quick but detailed summary of what happened, the anger the two oldest felt was obvious.
Everyone took a seat wherever they could find and sat in the heavy, uncomfortable atmosphere as they waited for a word from the oldest. “Why don’t we send him to jail?” Seungcheol asked like a normal question, with his arms crossed on his chest. “What do you mean hyung?” Minghao asked as he frowned. “Well, after what happened the first time I wanted to know if there was anything he did while he was gone from Shua’s life. Or just where he was, did he have a family, what he was up to, so I decided to ask one of my friends.” Seungcheol continued while scratching his neck with his one arm, embarrassed because of the situation.
“Turns out that he was in and out of jail multiple times. And now the police are actually looking for him because there is a case going on and he is the first suspect since the victim described how he looked like. They are just a fingerprint and a few questions away from sending him to jail again. So, this situation will make his time longer and will probably cause him a lot of trouble inside the jail and outside too. He already has something going on, probably something like drugs. ” Jeonghan completed Seungcheol’s speech. They had talked about this situation while they were on their overseas schedule before they knew about the most recent incident but it only made things better for them.
“But we don’t know where he is, what are we going to do about that? We also don’t have proof.” Seungkwan asked. The whole jail thing was confusing enough but now they needed to prove that Joshua’s father actually caused it. “The police already caught him.” Mingyu answered. The others turned to look at him, confused. “Well, when we were getting on the van to get to the dorm I saw him actually. He stood there while you guys got on the bus, I stared at him since it wasn’t normal to stand in the middle of the road. Then I think some undercover police officers were in the car because when he stopped to stare at us, I saw him getting arrested.” The others looked at him, confused about why he didn’t tell them sooner.
“Don’t look at me like that, I was going to tell you today anyway!” He yelled loudly, making Joshua and Jihoon move in their cuddling position uncomfortably. “Keep your voice down.” Seungcheol warned after seeing Joshua almost open his eyes. Then everything went smoothly. They went to the police station with some of the members, leaving others to stay with Jihoon and Joshua in case they woke up or needed anything. After showing the photos of Joshua’s chest and stomach to the officers who were helping them in this case, they were told to wait until the officer talked with the other police officers and decide on what to do.
After waiting for a while in the waiting room, Seungcheol was getting pretty anxious even though he didn’t show it to the others to not make them worry. “Are you okay?” Jeonghan, who was seated next to Seungcheol, asked quietly as he leaned forward to the other man's ear. Seungcheol nodded and reached for Jeonghan’s hand. “Yeah, just anxious about why it’s taking this long.” Jeonghan gave him a reassuring smile as he squeezed the hand with both of his hands. “It will be okay, Cheollie. Just relax, it will be alright.” Jeonghan slowly pulled Seungcheol to his shoulder and put the other man’s head on his shoulder, slowly moving his hands between the black hair strands.
They all got up from their seats when the female officer they talked to earlier returned to the waiting room with a smile on her face. “So, what happened now?” Vernon asked, nervously. “He is in jail. We were already sure that he was going to face at least two or three years in prison for what he did earlier and this is probably going to make his jail sentence even longer. The victim of this abuse does not need to attend the court or other things. We might need different photos of the damaged areas of the body but for now, this is enough.” Everyone thanked the officer with a smile on their faces and cheered loudly when she closed the door after her when she got out.
They were quickly told to shush by Seungcheol and Jeonghan but everyone was too happy. “I told you it was going to be okay.” Wonwoo whispered to Mingyu’s ear as they hugged close to each other. “Since we know everything is okay, let’s go to the dorms now and inform Jihoon and Joshua about the news, others too of course.” Seungcheol yelled to make sure he was heard by everyone. After everyone agreed on the plan, they got in the car that had been waiting for them ever since they arrived at the station. “We’re sorry to keep you waiting, hyung.” Junhui said in an apologetic tone to the driver. The driver just smiled and reassured them that it was fine, even though the other members were definitely not agreeing with the same idea.
They arrived at the dorm soon after the driver started driving to the location as soon as possible when they explained the situation without giving details. They all entered through the door as Seungcheol counted them to make sure nobody was left behind. They quickly walked to the living room to find Jihoon and Joshua already awake, cuddling on the couch with a pair of mugs filled with hot chocolate in their hands. “Hyungs, what happened? What did the police officers say?” Chan asked with a worried look on his face. Wonwoo, who was the one in front of Chan, just put his hand on the younger’s shoulder as he made him walk to the living room despite his protests.
“Hyung, what happened? I’m old enough to know!” Chan whined while he was finally seated next to Seungkwan on the couch. “So, we have some great news.” Mingyu said with a smile on his face. Joshua immediately sat up right as much as he can without his bruises hurting and put his mug on the table next to him. “What kind of good news?” Jihoon asked curiously while he sipped his hot chocolate. “He will be in jail for a long, long time. First, they wanted proof but everything else went smoothly after we showed some pictures. And turns out he did some other things like I mentioned before so this just added up to his jail sentence. They also said you would not need to go to the police station unless they call you to confirm something.”
There was a moment of silence after Seungcheol’s words. Every pair of eyes were on Joshua, who was still in shock. “Are you sure? He is not going to bother me or anyone, right?” Joshua’s voice came out questioning but hopeful. Jeonghan smiled softly as he leaned on Junhui’s shoulder while the younger one smiled happily at Joshua. “Yes, he can not interact with you or any of the members anymore. He is also banned outright from the company forever so you will never see him again, unless you personally go to see him at jail.” Tears streamed down Joshua’s face after Junhui’s words. He cried loudly as Jihoon wrapped his arms around him slowly.
The other members were quick to join Jihoon when he called them over for a group hug. They all hugged Joshua as close as they could without hurting his bruises. “It’s all okay now, Shua.” Jeonghan whispered to his ear. Soon after some more reassuring sentences were added to Jeonghan’s by other members, Joshua’s sobs turned into heavy breaths and sniffles. They all stayed in the same position before all decided to head to their rooms since it was pretty late. “Everything that we had for tomorrow is canceled. Now, let’s go to sleep.” Seungcheol announced. Everyone happily went to their rooms after that. Joshua was also heading to his room that he shared with Seokmin, but he was stopped by Jihoon.
“Shua hyung, can you stay with me tonight? I feel alone in my room on my own.” Jihoon asked as he pouted while holding Joshua’s hands so he wouldn’t leave. Of course, the thing he said was definitely not true. He loved spending time on his own in the privacy of his room and hardly ever let other members stay in the same room as him, especially at night, in a cuddling position. But it was always different when it came to Joshua. Joshua giggled at his request but held Jihoon’s hand even tighter. “Yeah, I’ll stay with you. You will cuddle with me, right? I want cuddles.” He asked jokingly. not expecting a real answer. “Of course yes. You’re Shua hyung.” Joshua raised his eyebrows in confusion and shock at Jihoon’s seriousness.
“Don’t look at me lik at that.” Jihoon shyly said as he turned his eyes to the ground as he dragged Joshua to his room, leaving the other members giggling at their conversation behind. Joshua giggled at his embarrassed expression as Jihoon’s cheeks also turned into a bright red. He quickly opened the door of his room and opened the covers. He hurriedly laid down on the soft mattress and opened his arms as he was waiting for something. Joshua looked down at him in confusion as he closed the door behind him. Jihoon dramatically sighed and dropped his arms by his side. “You said you wanted cuddles but you are refusing when I’m offering them?”
Joshua’s eyes went wide at realization and quickly got in the covers. A painful sound left his mouth as the bruises in his waist hit the mattress. Jihoon quickly sat up and cupped his cheeks in worry. “Are you okay? Should I bring the cream that we used earlier? Why did you even jump into the covers, does it hurt? Wait, let me bring the cream and some new bandages with some water!” Joshua held Jihoon’s arm beside he could leave the bed. “I’m okay, Ji. I don’t want water, cream or bandages. But you and some cuddles can really help right now, instead of those things that you were going to bring here.”
Jihoon’s concerned expression quickly relaxed as he sighed in relief and laid back down. He opened his arms again and Joshua was fast to hug him close. He threw his arms around the shorter body as their legs began to tangle together. They stayed hugging each other for a while without anyone talking before Jihoon decided to bring the comforting silence. “ You are safe with me, you know that right?” He asked, quietly. Joshua looked up to him and nodded. He put his ear on his chest to listen to his fast heartbeats as he talked. “You will always be safe as long as we are here. Me and the members. We will always do our best to protect you, Shua.”
He continued as tears started to form in his eyes. “We’ll protect you, no matter what. I promise you, you will never ever get hurt as long as I’m alive. I love you, Shua.” He completed his speech in a wobbly voice as he slowly let his tears escape his eyes. But he quickly wiped them away despite the overwhelming feeling inside him. “I love you too, Ji.” Joshua whispered to his ear as he sat up and placed a kiss on his forehead. “Thank you for protecting me, Hoonie. I appreciate it.” He said quietly like Jihoon as he wrapped his arms around him. He let his tears fall on his cheeks slowly as they hugged. Even though he was the one who got hurt, he knew this was also an overwhelming feeling for the other members too. Especially Jihoon, since he was the person he was closest to.
Jihoon let him silently cry on his shoulder as he slowly patted his back, he only pulled away when he heard Joshua calming down. When Jihoon pulled away from their hug, Joshua quickly placed a kiss on his forehead. “Thank you for being there for me, Hoonie.” Jihoon only smiled at him, but he knew that smile went a lot. They both went to sleep soon after since they were exhausted from the day. They went to sleep cuddling together, Joshua’s arms tightly wrapped around Jihoon’s waist with their legs tangled together under the soft blanket and Jihoon’s arms resting on Joshua’s shoulders. Even though they knew they were going to be teased by the time others came to their room to wake them up, they still went to sleep in each other’s arms.
