Minho woke up and had the feeling that something was wrong. He didn't even know what exactly had woken him up.

Tired, he sat up and rubbed his eyes.

He turned to the others and froze.

Jisung was gone.

Chan and Changbin slept deeply, but there was no trace of Jisung.

Minho needed a moment to shake off the shock and stood up. Maybe Jisung just couldn't sleep anymore and was sitting in the living room.

Yawning, Minho ran into the living room, but it was dark and empty. Just like the kitchen. He was about to go to the bathroom when he noticed that the front door was wide open.

He stared at the front door and tried to understand what had happened. Just as he wanted to turn around and run back to the bedroom to get dressed, he noticed the small, dark spots on the floor.

With trembling hands, he turned on the light and his assumption was confirmed.

It was blood.

As fast as he could, he ran into the bedroom and got dressed while he trembled all over his body and tears ran down his face.

That was not allowed to be true. He had just found Jisung and they were in the process of processing what they had experienced. He couldn't lose him again.

"Chan! Changbin! Wake up Jisung is gone," he shouted as he tried to get his gun out of the safe, but he didn't succeed.

Suddenly he heard Jisung's screams. He called for him. He begged him to find him and bring him back home.

Minho felt like he had to throw up.

But Chan and Changbin didn't wake up. Didn't react to his screams and also not to the fact that he ran to them and shook them so that they woke up.

That was the moment when Minho collapsed. Crying and trembling, he lay on the floor and was unable to move.

It felt like he had been pushed off a cliff into a big, black nothing.

Frightened, he opened his eyes when he felt a cold hand lay down his cheek, gently stroked it with the thumb and then he was kissed.

"Min, baby."

He tried to realize what was going on.

He heard Jisung's voice and could see the blurred outlines of his fiancé, but that couldn't be.

Seconds later, the light in the room went on and he saw three worried faces looking down at him.

Confused, he sat up.

His face and neck were wet. Obviously because he had cried.

"Honey, is everything okay?" Jisung asked worriedly and gently wiped the tears of Minho's face.

He shook his head and nodded the next moment, pulled Jisung to him and started crying again.

He felt Chan sit behind him and give him support while Changbin jumped up and got a glass of water from the kitchen.

Minhos gratefully took it and drank a sip.

Slowly he calmed down again, while the others held him, stroked and kissed him. Brought him back to reality.

At some point he took a deep breath and let himself sink against Chan.

"Everything okay?"

This time Minho nodded and closed his eyes exhausted.

"Can we get some sleep before we have to get up?" he asked tiredly and pulled Jisung closer to him.

Changbin yawned tired and looked at his watch. "We only slept for three hours. So yes, we can continue to sleep."

Chan pushed Minho carefully down from him, lay down and then pulled him back to him.

Jisung snuggled up to him and Minho immediately put his arm around him and held him tight.

Changbin turned off the light and covered the three before he lay down next to Jisung and cuddled up to him.

Minho's head hurt and although he was exhausted, his thoughts did not want to give rest.

But he really didn't want the others to worry even more about him. So he remained lying down and tried to breathe calmly and not to be driven crazy by the thoughts circling in his head.

Jisung lay next to him. In his arms and he could feel his warmth. Jisung was here with him.

He took a deep breath. Jisung's smell calmed him down a little. He gently stroked his back and then buried his hand in Jisung's hair.

He would have preferred to press Jisung firmly against him and never let him go again. But he knew it wouldn't be healthy for both of them.

He sighed quietly and buried his face on Jisung's shoulder. Tired, he closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep.

At that moment he felt Chan put his arm around him. Lying in Chan's arm and having Jisung lying in his arm did well and calmed him down finally.

Finally he was able to relax and his thoughts came to rest. Shortly after, he had finally fallen asleep. And the others also managed to fall asleep after they realized that Minho had finally fallen asleep.
