our reality || N.JAEMIN

[Laconic]

"She just disappeared into thin air, what happened?"
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

JAEMIN's POV:

A few weeks later, I finally got released from the hospital. Ever since that day, Y/N has never visited me ever again. Not even once, not even for a few seconds. Maybe I shouldn't have forced her to tell me what happened, but still I can never stay quiet. "So, nana, what do you feel?"

I turned to my friends with an easy expression on my face. "Feel about what?" Haechan scoffed and wrapped his arm around my neck. "Being out of the damn hospital, of course!" Oh, so that was what he meant. "Hyuck, keep it down, we're still in the hospital, you know." Mark scolded him from behind.

"Yeah, yeah. Let's go eat something! Lele said he's gonna pay for all of us today." Chenle looked at him, feeling betrayed. "When did I say that? I said I was gonna treat Jaemin hyung only!" He stuck his tongue out before running away. "Why you, come back here!"

I watched as the two of them start chasing each other around. "You look down, Jaemin-ah. What's wrong?" Renjun asked while texting someone on his phone. He looks tense. "I noticed that too, Jaemin hyung." Jisung paced up and walked beside me. "It's nothing." I smiled and ruffled his soft black hair. "I think it's time to dye my hair to another colour."

Y/N's POV:

I stared at my reflection in the mirror. We're currently on school break and I haven't gone out of my apartment for a while now. I didn't attend school for a week before it ended. Shimizu came to check on me once a week to make sure I'm eating well and don't get sick. "What should I do now?" I sighed and lay on my bed. "Are you out of the hospital already, Na Jaemin?"

I miss you very much. How have you been? Are you all better now? Perhaps maybe you don't care about me anymore? Maybe I'm just another person that's passing through your life. And I hate it, I hate this reality of mine that I'm stuck in. I want to escape, just once. If that's even possible.

"You should go out, Y/N-ah. Maybe let's go to a cafe? Get some coffee and some fresh air? It's not healthy for you to be like this." Shimizu held my hand softly, making sure I'm hearing her. "Not yet." I replied, my eyes still closed. "Alright then. I'm going to make you some kimchi stew so wait here, okay?"

She stood up and took her phone with her before leaving my room. Ah, she must be tired of me acting like this now. Maybe, I should just turn over a new leaf and leave this country after I graduate in a few months. Then, I can leave my family for real. "Shit, I want to meet him."Why can't I get you out of my mind? I guess he does mean a lot to me, huh?

JAEMIN's POV:

"Woah, nana you sure suit pink hair!" Jeno flashed me his famous eyesmile. I complimented his new blue hair too while we searched for the rest of the dream members. "Hey, I have a question." Jeno looked at me and nodded. "Is it about your Y/N?" I almost choked on my spit after hearing his statement.

"What do you mean as 'my Y/N'?!" He shrugged with a nonchalant look. "Well you always have her on your mind, don't you? She means a lot to you and I know that. So, shoot your question." I thought to myself for while before asking my wanted question.

"How's Y/N? Has she been well?" It took Jeno a whole 10 seconds to answer my question. Is there something wrong? "Well, you see, she didn't attend the last week of school before we went on a break so I can't really say anything about her." What? Where is she? Is she okay?

There's a million tons of question in my mind about her and her only. "If you want to know more then go to Renjun." He pat my back and joined Jisung who was quietly playing his game near the entrance door of the salon. I should ask him after he finishes.

"Let's go to the new opened cafe! I heard their specialty which is the chocolate fudge cake is really good!" Mark said in a happy tone and so, that's our next location. "Oh, nana!" A feminine voice boomed from behind us. "Heeyoung-ah?" She nodded excitedly and hugged me tight.

"I didn't know you were released! Where are you guys headed to?" She looked at the rest of the members with sparkles in her eyes. "Uh we're actually going to the new cafe." Jisung answered uninterestedly. "Oooh, can I tag along? I've always wanted to visit there!" The rest of them looked away, not wanting to make any eye contact. "Sure." I said and she cheered.

RENJUN's POV:

Damn it, why must Heeyoung tag along? She's gonna ruin the whole plan! Jaemin, you kind hearted idiot, just decline her! Now, I can't make sure the plan is going to go smoothly like what we planned before. "Shit." I uttered under my breath as I saw them entering the cafe too.
