My mouth fell wide open, the expression on my face was if I saw a ghost.. but really I saw something sick. I gulped, I was struggling to breathe without throwing up because of the stench in here.

What I was witnessed was jungkook on floor unconscious, but that wasn't just was terrified me.. it was the fact that his face swollen up with a bruise on his right cheek and what also looked like his lip was cut. There were stains of blood just around his collar, he was bare feet and I could see purple around his legs which looked like bruises also.

His hands were red and I could see dried up blood surrounding his nails. He was in the corner and it looked liked he curled up but then lost consciousness and let his body drop.

I bolted my way up to him and knelt down, I put my index finger under his nose to check if he was breathing or not.. Damn it.. I couldn't feel it at all.

I was breathing heavily while wheezing a little that anyone around me could have heard it, my heart was beating fast and I prayed for my next test to work "please.. PLEASE!" I said to myself.

I placed my two fingers on the side of his neck to check for a pulse, after about two minutes of not giving up I felt a little pulse. He was barely alive but luckily he WAS alive, I sighed in relief and thanked for it.

I started to shake his shoulders hoping for the best.

"jungkook... JUNGKOOK! WAKE UP!" I cried. "PLEASE I NEED YOU ALIVE!" His lips slightly parted and his eyes were shut closed, still no movement coming from him.

I became weak myself seeing him in this state, I broke into tears and stuffed my head on top of his chest gently "wh-what the hell happened to y-you, can't you s..see I need you.." I wept, not caring tears were soaked on his clothes

"I don't.. I don't want you dead.."

"who s..said I was dead?"

Suddenly I stopped weeping and froze...

did I hear what heard correctly?

Or am I just imagining things..

I could feel his chest rising and then dropping.. then rising.. then dropping, the sound of him breathing lightened me up.

I let go of him to take a better a look, he opened his eyes a little and stared back at me. He gave me a weak smile, "did you m..miss me that much?" He coughed and gagged a few times as he tried to get up, but he was struggling to lift himself and dropped on the ground again.

"no no! Your body is too weak, here let me help you" I quickly wrapped his arm around my shoulder and used all the force that I have to lift him up, he was pretty heavy but I managed.

But as I tried walking with him out of the room he stopped suddenly "no.. I can't.. I can't leave here..." he said.

"Why wouldn't you want to leave here??" "He'll notice I'm out and... who knows what will happen"

"not on my watch, I have everything figured out, don't worry okay! Just trust me on this" we walked but he stopped again, "wait..." he said, "something the matter now?" I asked him.

"Where are we going? I.. I can't go to my dorm, Taehyung will be there and- he can't see me like this..."

"don't worry, we aren't going there! I'm taking you to the infirmary" he nodded in agreement.

As we arrived there, I took out my keys and opened the door. I told him to lay down on the bed and sat beside him. "You need new clothes" I said as I looked at his old clothes which were dirty and had stains of blood on them, he also looked at his own clothes.
"Oh! Where did these come from?" He said as he lifted his collar up for a better look.

"you didn't notice them?"

"... only my arms but..."

"it's alright, just take them off"

I took out from the cupboard new clothes and placed it beside him. I could hear him whimpering so I immediately turned around and noticed he was struggling to take it off probably from the state of him he was in.

I placed the folded clothes on the side of the bed and made my way in front of him "here, let me help you..." I told him.

"I.. I can do it myself..."
I shook my head "I know you're hurting jungkook" he dropped his hands and squeezed the side of the mattress while gazing into my eyes as I unbuttoned five more buttons.

As I looked up and noticed he was staring at me the whole time, I shot down and continued what I was doing... praying my face isn't red.

I frowned at what I witnessed after I was finished... he had a purple bruise right in the middle of his stomach and some red ones on the side...

What the hell happened to him? Did suho really do that to him? Why would he take it so far...

"what did he do to you?" I asked as I caressed beside the middle bruise gently. He sighed and looked down "you wouldn't like it if I told you.. plus.. I don't really want to talk about it.. " he bit his lip.

"But, I can help you! I.. I can tell the-"
he cut me off
"it doesn't matter Y/N, I'm stuck here whether I like it or not... I can never leave. There's no fucking choice damn it" he said and continued after a few seconds of a pause.

"look... I'm sorry, I know you want to help me in any way but there's no need for you to, I never did anything for you so what's the point? I'm just a crazy patient after all... let me be"

"but you did do something for me! You protected me! If you weren't here... who could have known what he would do next, and I'm so very thankful that you came but I also didn't want you to be there at the same time..."

I looked at his chest "... because look what he did to you, I didn't ask for this to happen" I sighed.

He grabbed my wrist gently and looked right into my eyes "I'm fine now that you're here!" I gave him a slight smile as a respond.

Looking through the cupboards, I grabbed a cloth, some bandages, plasters, alcohol swabs, and pins. I placed them on the table and sat down next to him, after wetting the cloth I gently wiped away the remaining dried up blood, he groaned every time.

After I was finished with the chest I moved on with the hands, cupping his hands with a skin to skin touch reminded me of the time I first time I held his hands when I trying to help him make a bracelet. I didn't notice I was smiling

"what are you smiling about?" He asked me.
"What... wait.. no.. what?" I gave him a serious face and continued, He found it too cute.

When I was finished I wiped his face next, he gazed at me as my face was close up to his, I tried my best not to react in any sort of way... "okay, I'm done!"

"Really? I didn't want it to end..." he mumbled.

"Huh?"

"-nothing"

I put the cotton wool between my tweezers and dipped a little alcohol on it. "Umm.. so..."
"Hm?"
"Well.. this might sting just a little.. just remember it's to sanitise the wound incase an infection happens, we wouldn't want that right?" I warned him looking into his eyes, I moved myself closer to the a little scar on this cheek for a better look.

"Im a grown man Y/N I can take a sting, il be fi- AAAAISH OW!" He winched.

I laughed a little by his reaction. He puffed his cheeks because his confidence was a failure in front of a girl.

"Is there.."

"AH!"

"...acid in"

"OW!"

"....this or what" he hissed from the stinging.

After about ten minutes of him groaning and moaning, he was relieved to see I was finally finish. "That took... " he panted "years for it to finish"

"at least I'm done now, let me patch you up and then il finally be finished" I told him.

After wrapping up the bandages around his waist, arms, and legs I helped him put his new clothes on.

I looked away as he put his pants on himself, I could hear him cursing under his breath.

"a..are you sure don't need help or anything?"
"NO! NO IM FINE REALLY, IM GOOD!" He quickly replied.

"I'm done!" He informed me.

I looked behind. "Let's go back to your dorm now" I was about to wrap his arm around my shoulder but then I realised something.

"Wait a second.. you must be hungry right? Its been a whole night since you haven't eaten!" I said. He scratched his hair "Umm well actually.... I haven't eaten since I was sent there... how long was I there anyways? Two days?"

"...three, three days.."

"... oh"

"wait a second, you haven't eaten at all since THAT day? Oh my god my poor- here, I should go get you something to eat!"

He shook his head "nah nah it's okay... I'm not that hungry"

"oh shut up! Let me go get you my lunch, you need it more than I do anyways" I told him. He bent his head in confusion "your lunch? Why not from the cafeteria?"

"It's locked since it's too early. You wait here ok, il be back. Don't worry, no one comes to this room unless there was an emergency, you'll be safe here while I'm gone. Trust me"

"I trust you." He said with a forced grin despite the pain he had.

I gave him a smile back and left the room, when I checked my watch I realised it was already opening time, SHIT! I hope Suho didn't notice the keys were gone.

I bolted my way to the staff room, switching directions on where to look, I realised Suhos locker was open, DAMN IT!

But where is he? I put the keys up and went to my locker, suddenly I hear the door opening from the changing room. My heart jumped as I realised it was suho, he didn't speak to me at all which I'm glad.

He hummed as he walked to where the keys were and took his own stash, after that he made his way through the door. Gone.

I opened my locker and took out my lunchbox, after I locked it I jogged up to the room jungkook was in.

While on the way I was quickly stopped by someone, I gulped and started to breathe heavily..

"where is he gone?" He asked.
