Pls forgive me

Sobs racked Jaebum's body as Lay knelt in front of Mrs. Choi.

Luhan and Youngjae pushed the strange men out of their house while Lay set on healing Mrs. Choi's stab wound.

Jaebum just sat there crying. He's never felt so useless. It was because of him, that Mrs. Choi got stabbed. He was too weak to protect her, and he didn't even have the power to heal her.

Lay wrapped her midsection in bandages after soaking the wound in some potion he mixed up.

Jaebum looked up as Lay walked by him, "Is she going to be alright?"

Lay nodded, "She just needs to rest."

Jaebum nodded and stood up. He started moving broken objects to one side of the room and cleaned up whatever he could.

"Jaebum stop."

Jaebum didn't listen as he continued his attempt to clean up.

"I said stop!"

Jaebum froze as Lay grabbed his arm.
"You need to rest. You've been through a lot too."

Jaebum shook his head, "NO! I don't have time to rest. I failed today... I can't ever fail again."

Lay sighed and pushed Jaebum down on the bed forcefully, "You will sit here until I get Youn-"

Jaebum cut him off yelling,

"NO. I DON'T NEED HIM. I'M SICK OF EVERYONE THINKING I NEED TO BE PROTECTED. JUST LEAVE ME ALONE."

Lay tried to reason with the temperamental boy, "But Jaebum, Youngjae is just trying to hel-"

"I DON'T NEED HIS HELP. I WAS FINE BEFORE AND I WILL BE FINE AFTER."

Lay's face fell, "Jaebum, you don't mean that! He's your boyfriend."

Jaebum shoved Lay aside and stormed out of the room.

He came out of the the room only to find Youngjae standing outside the doorway.

Jaebum's heart skipped a beat when he saw the younger boy's face.

"Youngjae-ah I -"

"I get it."

"What?"

"I made a mistake."

"What are you talking about?"

"I made a mistake by loving you."

Two nights, the older boy disappeared. Youngjae couldn't bring himself to get off his bed. Luhan and Lay took turns taking care of the two Choi's.

Mrs. Choi hasn't woken up yet and she was getting paler by the hour.
Everything was falling apart.

"Why isn't she getting better?" Lay whined, throwing a wet towel back into its bucket.

Luhan sighed, "I don't know, but if she doesn't get better in another day we might have to consult from Junmyun."

Lay made a face, "Not Kai's cousin, that guy is so nerdy!"

Luhan chuckled, "It's not like we have a choice."

Lay sighed, "Fine, but what about Jaebum?"

Luhan shook his head, "We still can't find him. I've got Kai's kid and his friends scouring the area but..."

He left the sentence hanging.

"Why do you think he burst like that?" Lay asked, pulling Luhan into his lap.

"I honestly don't know. You said he yelled something about failing right? Maybe he's mad at himself for not being able to protect Mrs. Choi. And this is his way of venting his anger out. It's just bad luck that Youngjae was the butt of it."

Lay groaned and rested his head on Luhan's shoulder, "We've got to do something!"

Luhan nodded and put up three fingers.
"One, we get Youngjae out of his funk and explain why Jaebum acted like that."

Lay nodded and put one of finger down for Luhan.

"Two; we find Jaebum and try to help him out with his internal problems." Lay nodded once more and put down another one of Luhan's finger.

"And three. We visit Junmyun and ask him what the fuck is wrong with Mrs. Choi."

Lay nodded, smiling as he put down the last of Luhan's finger.

"Boom! All our problems are solved."

"So...what do we start with."

Luhan smirked with a evil look his eyes, "We pull Youngjae out of his funk."

"HOLY SHIT IT SMELLS LIKE SOMEONE DIED IN HERE."

"yOUNGJAAAAE. MOMMY's HERE FOR YOOOUU."

"OMG ITS A DOG IMA CUDDLE IT."

Youngjae groaned loudly as he heard 5 familiar, loud, voices.

He peeked above the covers to see Jinyoung smiling with Bambam, Jackson, Yugyeom and Mark standing behind him.

Mark had Coco in his arms and Yugyeom was plugging his nose.

"Go away." Youngjae mumbled, throwing a pillow at Jackson.

"Not until you shower dude."

"Don't dude me Bambam, I'm your Hyung."

"Fight me Hyung."

Jinyoung smacked the back of Bambam's head and smiled sweetly at Youngjae, "Please get up. I don't understand why you're over reacting."

Youngjae suddenly sat up, "Overreacting?! OvERreAcTING?!"

Jinyoung stepped back, "Whoa there calm do-"

"Don't tell me to calm down! You think I'm overreacting. The boy I possibly, most likely in love with says that he doesn't need me. Doesn't FUCKING NEED ME?! I'M HIS BOYFRIEND AND HE SAYS HE DOESN'T NEED ME."

"Actually you're being stupid."

"What?"

"Luhan explained the whoooole thing to me."

Mark nodded, "Yea it's like this drama I'm watching and the ma-"

"SHUT UP MARK."

Mark pouted as three voices yelled at him.

"I'm your Hyung you fuckers." He mumbled under his breath.

Jinyoung rolled his eyes before continuing, "Luhan Hyung said that he was just insecure and frustrated in himself. And he just happened to vent out his anger on you. He doesn't really mean it."

Youngjae looked up from the covers again, "You aren't fucking with me?"

"No, I'm serious."

"And I'm Thai."

"I sweAR TO GOD BAMBAM."

Luhan smiled as he listened to the conversation. Lay gave him a questioning look. Luhan winked and put one finger down.
