Waking up the next morning was hard. I wanted more sleep and could barely keep my eyes open. Sighing I got up out of the bed and pulled my hair up into a ponytail. Last night HongJoong had given me a pair of old sweatpants he had. They were still big on me but after tying the draw strings they fit on my hips. I also was wearing Yeosangs red hoodie. I had taken off my makeup when we got home with water since it was only lipstick and eye makeup. It felt nice to take it off.

Walking into the kitchen I made a beeline for Seonghwa to tell him about my headache and how my face was slightly throbbing still. My mother had slightly cut my face with her nails and ring when she slapped me but I hadn't known it until Seonghwa rushed me to the car to treat it. Seonghwa smiled at me as he saw me and opened his arms. I immediately leaned into him, wrapping my arms around his waist.

"My face hurts Seonghwa, is there anything we can do to help it?" I lightly questioned. He thought for a moment before letting me go and going to get some ibuprofen. He handed me three before putting the bottle back and sitting me down at a stool. Seconds later a bowl of strawberries, bananas, kiwi, and mandarins was placed in front of me with a cup of lemon water.

"Thank you, Oppa." I said with a smile as Seonghwa nodded to me with a soft smile before excusing himself from the kitchen. Looking next to me at Wooyoung I poke his side since he was on his phone. Looking up at me he sends me a confused look. I point to his breakfast which he still hasn't finished.

"Oh, I got distracted with something work related. You have class today right? Want me to drop you off?" He asked. I thought for a moment.

"Sure but can we leave early so we can stop by my apartment? I'd like to freshen up a bit more." I requested.

"Sure, finish eating and we'll leave then." Wooyoung said with a small smile. I nodded and turned back to my food. While I was eating Jongho walked in with Mingi and Yunho. I turned to look at them and waved before going back to my food.

"Hey I'm gonna drop her off at school, will one of you let HongJoong know I'll go pick up his order." Wooyoung says before pulling me out with him. My stuff was already in a bag by the door from the night before so I wouldn't forget it when I left. I only had my phone on my person.

"Alright, I'll let him know. Have a good day little one." Mingi said.

"Have a good day, love. We'll see you later!" Yunho called out.

"Hey I wanna come with." San said, jogging over to come with us. Wooyoung nodded to him.

"I'll be at school later in time for Dance, my professor canceled my first class because he's sick. See you later Bun." Jongho said with a smile, waving me goodbye.

Once we were out the house we walked to a nice sleek black car. I looked at it in awe as we walked over to it. While we were walking out I had a thought pop up and looked to the two males behind me as I was admiring the cars. They were watching me with a smile as they talked about something I couldn't hear. I watched Wooyoung look over to San and nod before they both finally walked over.

"Do you want me to take the back? I feel bad if I take the front." I questioned. San looked at me for a second before shaking his head.

"It's up to you but don't feel bad if you want the front. I sit in the back often, doll." San smiled at me as he motioned me into the car. I nodded but I still took the back middle seat. Wooyoung got in the drivers and San got into the passenger seat, and we were off to my apartment.
