Chapter 4 | Hallucinations

... | Chenle's Point Of View

By the time I snapped back to reality it was late and he had to get to dance practise. I didn't have time to eat breakfast or look in the mirror, I just ran. Ran to the dance studio just a few blocks away. What I didn't realise was that I had bags under my eyes and they were red. When I entered the studio I felt lots of people staring at me, my members, staff and manager although they weren't really staring at all.

I started to get overwhelmed, all the members sitting on the benches surrounding the outside of the dance practice with me standing alone in the middle. I started to go pale and scared. I ran to the bathroom but it only made things worse. I could hear Jisung trying to open the door. I kept hearing voices. Not good ones. They kept saying all sorts of nasty things about me and my relationship with Jisung. The voices wouldn't get out of my head. I was scared and suddenly, black. I couldn't see anything. I fainted.

... | Jisung's Point Of View

When Chenle entered the room all the members were chatting to each other and getting ready for practise. I probably only noticed but Chenle had bags under his eyes and his eyes were red. Like he was crying or he didn't have enough sleep.

I didn't know about the hate comments back then. I was unaware of what was happening to Chenle but I was still very worried about him. He started looking pale and as if he was about to cry again as his eyes glistened. Did I do something wrong? That's when some of the members started looking at Chenle with worried faces. Chenle ran to the bathroom and I ran after him. He locked the door which made me feel more worried.

"Chenle... Are you okay?"

No response

"Chenle? Open the door now!"

No response

"Chenle... baby... did I do something wrong?"

No response but a couple sniffles were muffled.

"Chenle... I'm so sorry if I did something. Can you open the door? I'm really worried about you."

No response still.

"Chenle... can you at least tell me if you're okay in there? I'll leave as well."

No response.

"Chenle? Chenle!!! Open the god dam door!!!"

I started kicking at the locked door. Once I broke the door I saw an unconscious Chenle. I checked for any injuries and I was glad when there wasn't any. Maybe he just worked himself out? I carried him bridal style and went outside through the back door so the members wouldn't see him in this state. I walked to the main company studio where we had an emergency doctor. The doctor took a look at Chenle's state while I waited outside and texted the rest of the members:

Jisung

I just had to take Chenle to our private doctors. I think he should be okay.

You can start practise without us for now while I get him checked up.

Donghyuck

I hope he's okay :c

Donghyuck was close to all the members and very nice. I was turning off my phone when the doctors told me I could go inside and visit Chenle but he was apparently acting strange which I ignored because I truly doubt that.

I walked inside the room and saw Chenle just sitting on the bed, staring at the blank wall in front of him. He started to shiver and I came up to him and pulled him into a hug as he put his nose on my scent gland, relaxing him as he started whimpering.

"Hey... Chenle... You okay? What happened?" I started when he calmed down slightly.

It was silent for a bit before the older responded, "Jisungie... careful..."

"Careful about what? What happened baby?"

"Monsters online don't like me with you."

"Awh... Chenle. Ignore those monsters. Their haters who are just jealous okay baby?"

"N-no. They are bad. Scary. They want me to die." Chenle said while sniffling.

"No! You're staying with me okay? It'll all be okay. Don't worry about them. I'll protect you as long as you promise to stay with me and don't hurt yourself."

"Jisungie? There's monster. Help. Right there." The younger said while pointing to behind the curtain.

"Where? I don't see anything."

"Him!!! Right there!!!" he said while pointing again but there was nothing there??

"Baby... I think you're hallucinating unless I somehow am."

"No! Help Jisung! He's getting closer!" the older said while hugging tighter while sobbing.

"Shhh. Jisung will be right back 'kay?"

I went outside the room, still able to hear Chenle's whimpering and sniffles where the doctors stood outside. I was really worried for Chenle. Was he hallucinating? I started by saying, "Doctor... I think I know what's wrong with Chenle. I think he's having... hallucinations..."
