Summary :   After a hard day of work, all Kangin wanted was to go home and get some much needed sleep. Just how and why the hell did he end up in this mess?

It was almost 4 o' clock in the morning but Leeteuk still had his eyes glued to his laptop browsing funny videos on the internet. He'd laugh out loud, but everyone else is sleeping and he didn't want to risk Heechul coming into his room whacking him in the head for waking him up with his famous hightoned laughter. So he tried to giggle as softly as he could, though at some point he'd burst out laughing anyways, only to cover his mouth with the pillow.

He was planning to sleep since hours ago, but one funny video had let to another, and almost 3 hours later he was still there, lying on his stomach on his bed, engulfed by the funny videos. Oh internet, how I love you so!  He glanced at the time on the bottom of his laptop screen, realizing how late it was. He didn't really care, as he's not secheduled for anything for the next two days. Plenty of time to catch up on sleep, Teuki-Teuki! He grinned at that thought, sastisfied that he'd be able to laze around for two days.

Speaking of schedules; Where on earth is Kangin? Isn't he supposed to be recording for a variety show tomorrow? He must be out drinking again after tonight's recording. Leeteuk automatically assumed since that's usually the case most of the time. "He's gonna be looking and feeling like crap tommorow at work" he muttered to himself.

But the leader instinct made him reach for his cellphone to call Kangin and remind him about his early morning schedule. I have indeed turned into a mother. He shook his head in disbelief , fingers stabbing on his phone as he dialed Kangin's number. It didn't surprise him when he was connected to the voice mail.
Leave a message my foot! He muttered half playfully half annoyed. "Your butt is going to be in serious trouble tommorow Youngwoon-ah!" He imagined Kangin half asleep, looking like a panda as they film him for the show tomorrow.

He had thought of calling Yesung or Sungmin to ask if Kangin had ditched them, and went out to have a drink or two with his buddies. But he changed his mind as soon as he was about to dial Yesung's number. "Hmm... they must be already asleep then, it wouldn't be nice if I disturb them just to ask about what's obvious. Besides, they had a full schedule today. They must be exhausted." Leeteuk contemplated.

Kangin is so going to get a 10hour lecture tomorrow. Leeteuk decided as he clicked 'play' on the video to continue his interrupted funny videos marathon.

Just as he was getting into it, his phone rang and vibrated. Causing him to jump, stunned by the sudden ringing and vibrating of his cellphone. "Kangin, I'm going to kill you!" Leeteuk reached for his cellphone as he was confident that Kangin must be the one calling. Kangin, the drunk who slurs himself silly when he talks on the phone.

Leeteuk didn't bother to check the display screen, he flipped his phone open putting it close to his ears as he expects a slurry voice accompanied with a whole lot of nonsense from the other end of the line.

But it never came. Instead the voice on the other line was sounding way too serious, sending a bolt of worry into him.

His face fell, a knot settled in the pit of his stomach, concern looming over him. "H-hello? Who is this?"

"Leeteuk-sshi..." The voice on the line replied, and then there was a pregnant pause which only made Leeteuk's heart beats fast and hard against his ribs. It was their manager, finally recognizing the voice.

"Leeteuk-shi... I'm sorry to be calling you up at this kind of unearthly hours..." Another pause, and it's driving Leeteuk stir-crazy. He didn't know why, but he couldn't bring himself to ask his manager to quit beating around the bush and say what he needed to say. So he continued to listen intently waiting for his manager to continue.

He heard the manager clears his throat. Something big and heavy is about to be dropped onto his head,  he could feel it. "Leeteuk-sshi..." for the third time, the voice on the other line is full of hesitation. " The members... Kangin, Sungie, Hyukjae and Sungmin.... they got into a serious accident on their way home to the dorm... they' were all brought to Samsung Medica-.."

And then everything in Leeteuk's line of sight went blank as he tried to process the information that was slapped onto him. It really did felt like a slap. His mouth hung agape as all the possibilities starts to race through his mind.

No, this can't be happening...

Even though he never quite heard the whole explanation from his manager, the nagging in the back of his head tells him that things aren't looking good. He hadn't realize that his eyes were brimming with moisture, his mouth muttering assurance telling himself to calm down. At that very moment Leeteuk's mind and body was working on autopilot mode.

♥SJ♥SJ♥SJ♥SJ♥SJ♥SJ♥SJ♥SJ♥SJ♥SJ♥SJ♥SJ♥SJ♥SJ♥SJ♥SJ♥SJ♥

Leeteuk didn't remember how  he had frantically woke the other members up to deliver them the news. He barely even remembered their reactions upon hearing the news.He didn't even remember how he and the other six Super Junior members crammed themselves into one van, making their way towards the hospital. He just wanted to see his hurt dongsaengs with his very on eyes. He needed to be with them.

Everything was moving in a motion of blur for him until he stepped into the hospital.

Until his nose caught the smell of disinfectant in the air around him.

Until he saw his manager sitting hunched in one of the seating provided in front of the emergency hall lobby.

That's when all of his sense came back to him. He ran towards his manager, followed by six other Super Junior members. Six of his twelve brothers.

"Hyung!" Leeteuk sat heavily next to his manager, with too many questions not knowing which one to ask first. Heechul and Shindong were already running their mouths, asking unruly questions. Which was sure to make the manager's head spin.

"Give it a break! Heechul! Shindong!" Leeteuk's firm voice ordered. It's a rare occasion for the members to see Leeteuk acting like that. Thinking about it again, there probably never was a time when he did act like that. Heechul's eyes were wide from shock, his mouth threatening to spit out angry words but he swallowed them down and shut his mouth, understanding the situation at hand. Understanding that Leeteuk's worried and scared as hell. He knows, because he feels the same too.

The manager's voice was sullen and weak, but he was ready to tell the boys what's going on with the members in questioned, skipping the accident details for time being. He started with the lighter news. "Sungmin and Eunhyuk are going to be okay, that's what they told me. But they are both still being examined though, just to make sure nothing else is wrong." "Sungmin's ankle is going to need a minor surgery though, and he won't be able to dance or gets involved with any heavy activities for a few weeks. As for Hyukjae, he fractured his arm, luckily it wasn't severe, so his arm is just going to be in a plaster cast for a few weeks. He's pretty much still in shock. Other than that, it's just cuts and bruises."

The seven Super Junior members lets out a breath of relief, thankful that Sungmin and Eunhyuk is not in any kind of life threatening condition. But what was about to come out from their manager's mouth regarding the two other members, left them with dreadful possibilities.

The manager sighed a heavy sigh. The kind of sigh that leaves the air with a heavy unsettling feeling. "Kangin and Yesung..." He choked on a sob. Ryewook was already crying on Kyuhyun's chest, hiding away his tear strained face. "They are both in a very critical condition the last time they updated me. Yesung had not gained consciousness since the accident, and they were saying that he's got some internal bleeding going on. He's been really unstable so they're still trying to get him to stabilized so they can finally start operating on him. There's a big possiblity ... we could lose... him"

From Leeteuk, to Heechul, Hankyung, Shindong, Donghae, Ryewook to Kyuhyun, none of them are able to control the tears they've been holding back anymore. None of them can find anything to say, to respond.  They felt their heart shatter.

The manager's voice cracked as he continued, unwillingly feeding them more terrible news. "Kangin's in the operation theater right now. They suspected that the movements he made before the rescue team arrived had been the culprit to his extended injuries."

Seven teary pair of eyes wondered in confusion, wanting straight explanations even though they knew damn well that more explanations will only lead to more knives getting stabbed into their fragile hearts.

"He was trying to help the old couple in the other car... the other car that crashed into the van after it flipped..." The manager couldn't control his sobbing any longer but he knew he had to carry on. "Damn it that rockheaded Youngwoon!" The manager suddenly burst in anger, knowing too well that Kangin's stubbornness had caused him this mess. "His movements caused his broken ribs to puncture his lungs. Now it's causing a big complication for him."

Suddenly it was all too much for Leeteuk to handle, his body shook with unstoppable sobs. He wanted to wake up from this nightmare. But only to find  Hankyung and Donghae's arms around him comforting him as their hearts shattered with him, reminding him that this was all very real. Heechul had quietly backed away towards the seat, still finding it hard to believe that he had almost lost four of his friends, and there's no telling if he's still going to lose two out of four of them. The feeling of anger and sadness mixed inside of him like a bad mix of chemical substance, raging inside of him.

This is the time when we needed each other the most...

Hours passed , darkness outside was starting to turn to light, the restless members had been pacing around like ghosts, haunting the waiting area.  They were allowed to briefly see Sungmin and Eunhyuk. The reason why they didn't spend too long  with them is because Sungmin was going to receive a minor surgery for his ankle early that morning, they decided to leave him to rest as he was barely coherent anyways .  Eunhyuk on the other hand was knocked out by sedatives they had given him, as an attempt to let his body rest and recover from the shock.

Heechul , Donghae and Shindong had left the hospital right after their brief visits. With a promise to come back right after they are done with their schedule.

While waiting aimlessly for any kind of news about Yesung and Kangin; Leeteuk and Ryewook had unwillingly fell asleep leaning on each other, on the seating in the waiting room, too exhausted from all of the emotional meltdown. But everytime medical personnels shuffled passed them they'd open their eyes hoping gor good news regarding their friends. And then they'd be on another battle with sleep and exhaustion. To pass his time, Hankyung had been stalking the nurses on the front desk,as every ten minutes passed, trying to fish out updates on his friends.

Almost 45 minutes and 3 cups of coffee that tasted like crap later, a tall man with graying hair and kind face came to approach them.  "Gentlemen..." He nodded. "I'm the doctor who is in charged for Kim Jongwoon's surgery."

Upong hearing that, the three men were fast on their heels, charging towards the tall doctor. Fatigue schmatigue. They looked like a group of hungry pirahnas attacking a piece of meat. Just like that the doctor was bombareded with 101 questions which consists of the hows, whats, whys and whens.

"Gentlemen, calm down... Sorry to keep you waiting." The doctor offered a sincere apology. For he knows how it must have been hard to be in their position.

Leeteuk raised and eyebrow, obviously more intereste din how Yesung is doing.

Without sugar coating his explanation the doctor began, "I'm not going to lie to you that Jongwoon-sshi's injuries from the accident was serious, as we are dealing with internal injuries. It took us awhile to get him stabilized before we could carry out the much needed surgery for him.But the surgery was a success, and with proper care and monitoring, barring any complications, he will be able to heal in time. But that doesn't mean that he's completely out of the woods yet. There's a lot of complications that we will be monitoring as he progress."

Sastisfied with the little hope they saw they are all now just eager to see Yesung. "Can we see him?"

The doctor paused, weighing the three eager men's small request. He supposed it won't cause any hard for his patient's friends to pay him a little visit."Alright, I'll let you guys briefly see him, but you can't stay too long, as I told you before he's not completely out of the danger zone yet." His words almost sounded like a warning, but his eyes were kind. "Follow me..."

Just like little eager kids being led to the toy store, Leeteuk, Hankyung and Ryewook followed the doctor, up the lift, down the hall...

Room 248 Kim Jongwoon, the sign outside the door reads. The three of them could once again feel their hearts beating uncontroablly inside their chests. Eager, scared, and anxious, that would the three feelings amongst other feelings they are experiencing.

"Let me remind you of what you might be expecting when you see him..." The doctor had explained some of the things they might expect to see on their way up to the room. Honestly though, who's listening when you have about other 10,000 things running through your head?

The doctor opened the door as quietly as he can. He gave a soft nod, signaling the three men that they can now step into the room.

Leeteuk's heartbeat is now drumming loudly in his ears as they quietly made their steps into the dimly lit room. He didn't know what to expect, he had never been placed in this kind of situation before, seeing someone he cares about hurt and lying on a hospital bed. People say there's always the first for every experience. He, Park Jungsoo has got to admit, this experience sucks big time!

It took a moment for them to locate Yesung among the tubes snaking in and out of his fragile frame.

Leeteuk froze to the sight before him. Jongwoon? Our Yesung?  could this really be him? He find it hard to swallow the fact that the still form lying in front of him the Yesung he knows. His eyes continued to wander, making sure he's really seeing what he's seeing. Yesung laid perfectly still, an oxygen mask obscuring his too pale face, making him look small and fragile. Small cuts an bruises stood out clearly against his translucent skin, on his face, on his hands.

And then it finally dawned on him. Oh my god, Yesung.... his heart broke for the hundreth time that day.

To Be Continued...

Okay as you can see I struggled again with this chapter. *headesks x 100*  For those who had been waiting for Yesung, there'll be more Yesung on the next chapter. That's a promise. Sorry for hiding the boy for so long. This is more like a filler chapter which I can't really do without. I hope everyone who had been following this fic aren't dissapointed with this chapter for the lacks of it.

Cheers darlings. Stay Safe!
