Chapter 20

Third Person

Jisung is in the back of everyone. His tears are silently falling to the ground as he sees himself at Changbin.

Changbin's situation right now reminded him of how his ex treated him like a slave.

"Hyung... W-what happened?" Chan can barely feel his body. It's like he's rooted to the ground and he can't even move. He's so shocked.

[A/N: I'm sorry for the ugly edit >.<]

Changbin used his remaining energy to try and explain. He closed his eyes and heaved a deep sigh before speaking with his now deeper voice.

"T-they're coming for J-Jisung... I h-heard them and t-they saw m-me... T-they beat m-me up b-because I h-heard their p-plan." Jisung couldn't hold his sobs anymore when he heard what happened.

Someone was hurt because of him, again. He loudly sobbed catching the attention of the four making them look at him.

Minho immediately moved to his side. Jisung melted because of Minho's touch that he nearly collapsed when Minho hold him.

"Hyung... I'm sorry..." Jisung cries as he apologized to Changbin.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." Jisung repeated and repeated over time. Jisung was freaking out and he couldn't stop crying.

Felix, too, started tearing up by watching his bestfriend freak out. It reminded him what the friend of his had to go through the years before.

Changbin feels weak that he couldn't open his eyes. He started to lose consciousness and fall to a deep slumber out of pain and tiredness.

Chan feels worried, concerned, and hurt as he witnesses right in front of him what's happening with his members.

Minho feels sorry and hurt for both Jisung and himself. He felt sorry for Jisung to experience this and he felt hurt because he couldn't do anything more than just hug him to ease his pain.

Chan made Felix help him change Changbin's clothes and treat Changbin's wounds as Minho practically hug a sobbing mess out of the room.

The four just decided to call the night and made Changbin rest alone at the room since he drifted off before they could've even noticed it.

Kim Woojin

"I'm home! Jisungie?" I called Jisung. I promised that I'll bring him some cheesecake when I get back.

I expected him to run to me and get the box of cheesecake in my hands but instead, Chan welcomed me.

"Woojin, your early." Chan got my bag. He didn't need to call me hyung.

I'm just older than him for a couple of months so we decided that he wouldn't have to call me hyung since we're close friends.

"Where's Sungie?" I asked, pertaining to Jisung with the nickname I mostly call him.

"Why?" His eyebrows furrowed. I lifted a cheesecake box in my left hand. I bought a whole cake since I knew a slice wouldn't be enough for him.

"Oh. He's sleeping in their room." Chan lead me inside after I got my shoes out of my feet and my coat out of my back.

We entered the living room and I saw Felix watching the TV, rather quietly. That's unusual.

I put the cake box in the kitchen as I walked to Chan and I's shared room. Everything's unusually quiet.

I can feel something is off. I just showered for a few minutes, changed and leave my bag at my bed untouched as I walked again outside the room.

"Ey, who wants chicken?" I tried lifting the air up for a bit because the silence isn't comfortable at all. It's suffocating, to be honest. This silence is so rare for us to have.

"You're ordering?" Chan asked me with a smile. Felix just looked at me with hopeful eyes. I giggled before nodding.

"It looks like we both do." Chan looked at Felix and smiled.

"Alright, I'm going to order. Give me a min." I said before walking off to my room again to grab my phone. 

I was walking back to my room when a thought came across my minds when I saw the two doors beside our room's door. I looked back and I saw that Felix and Chan are talking so I turn my head back to look at the two closed doors.

I saw a small crack in the maknae's room, well except Hyunjin. I slowly walked towards it. I looked inside and my eyes immediately went to Jisung's bed.

The only source of light is the window beside his bed. A small smile crept up my face when I saw how Minho held his hand. The two are sleeping beside each other.

I decided to go and do grab my phone from my bag in my room. Something's wrong. I can feel it.

Han Jisung

"Ugh..." I groaned when a pang of pain woke me up. I shot up and the pain just got worse. I used both of my hand to clutch my head.

"Jisung!" A hoarse voice called my name and held my right hand. I can feel the pain slowly leaving. I blinked for a few times before looking at my side. Minho was sitting too beside me.

"Are you okay?" Minho asked me. I just nodded. I hugged him.

"Are you sure?" Minho assured himself. I nodded multiple times.

I'm not. I'm surely not.

We stayed like that for a few minutes. I can feel my heart breaking free. My chest and my head don't hurt anymore because of his hug.

The feeling of being afraid, mad, burdened, and pain just mixed up together and my system barely handles that. 

I'm not taking my pills anymore because I thought I could be normal even without my pills. But I thought wrong. 

"We should probably go out now." He whispered to my ear before rubbing my back multiple times. I nod before pulling back.

He gave me an assuring smile before helping me get up from my bed. I stood up, not caring to fix it. We walked out of the room and we saw the other's eating chicken, without us?!

"What is the meaning of this?" I dramatically exclaimed. They all looked up to us. 

"Finally! You're awake. Chicken?" Woojin held up a whole box. 

"Count me in!" I ran off to his side. I took the whole box from his hands and starts eating it.
