#mx addition

Shownu sleepily shut the fridge after getting his drink. He tried to wrap his head around how to make the others see that Haewon was trying her best. The situation in which she was added wasn’t ideal, but this was their reality now.

He sat at the counter, sipping his cup, as the over glowed 3:00 in the darkness.

Once done, he left the glass on the sink and returned to his new room.

As he passed the girl’s room, he was stopped by the sound of something being knocked over and a small cry. Against his better judgement, he went to open the door and was surprised to find it unlocked. His eyes widened at the sight he saw.

Haewon was tossing and turning in her bed, an action which caused various items to fall off her nightstand. It looked as if she was trying to shake someone off.

Shownu wanted to leave, feeling as if he didn’t have the right to interfere, but was convinced when he saw her start to cry.

“Haewon,” he said, gently. Shownu knelt at her bedside and carefully placed his hands on her arms. “Haewon, wake up.”

Her flailing grew more frantic.

Hoisting his body on to the bed, Shownu pulled Haewon into his arms and locked her own in place. He rocked her back and forth as he hoped to alleviate the nightmare. 

The girl’s eyes shot open upon realizing that he was there. Haewon clung to the eldest member as she realized where she was.

"I’ve got you. It’s okay,” he assured her.

“Wanna talk about it?” She shook her head. “Do you want me to stay here?” She nodded. “Okay.”

Kihyun checked every room but one to find the leader. Taking a breath, he opened Haewon’s door to a sweet sight.

The girl had her head resting on Shownu’s shoulder as he held her close. The tear tracks were still evident on her face.
