eight.

She felt her throat starting to close up, she felt the walls were closing in on her.

This time everyone froze at his words. "Renjun what do you mean?" Haechan asked nervously, it was quite obvious, everyone could hear in in his voice. "Bae youngmi, Do you have the Hanahaki disease?" He asked again, this time looking back at her with emotionless eyes. "R-Renjun what nonsens-" 

"I saw it. I saw the petal." This time there was no way of back out, tears started pooling around her eyes. "Renjun-" "Can you just answer me?" He said more harshly, in a tone he has never used on her, which made her shiver a bit.

This didn't felt right - no it was definetly wrong in so many ways. all the attention was on her, anticipating about the words that were going to spill out of her mouth. But she said never. She kept quiet looking back at her best friend.

"Min I think you should-" "no." this time she cut off Jeno and dropped on her knees, this time she wasn't quiet, she was crying, she was sobbing. "...I do have it." The news shocked everyone making Jeno look at everyone in panic. "Min what are you-" "They deserve to know." she simply answered.

"Jeno you- you knew?" Renjun asked pointing at him. Jeno sighed, tears spilling out of his eyes. "I did. I knew." Jeno was crouching down comforting her, but he stopped instead his tears fell out of his eyes.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Haechan asked this time, obviously still taken aback. "Becaseu it wasn't my place to tell you guys, it's hers" he said sighing. "listen can we just-" "I'm going home" Youngmin said abruptly standing up. "Min-" She pushed him away and quickly walked opposite to Renjun. Jeno chased after her, and eventually the two disappeared into a street. 

Although the were shocked at the news, they all knew who caused it, and he was standing in between Haechan and Chenle, he was shocked at the news too. They all sneakily snuck a look at Jaemin and looked away almost immediately. Renjun was the first one to walkaway from the scene, and later on everyone walked home, confused and worried.

-focus change-

"Youngmin" Jeno grabbed her wrist and she looked at him. "Let go of me Jeno" She said struggling, "i won't let you go, are you alright? how did he even ffind out?" Jeno muttered quietly. "Don't worry about it it's fine, plus we can't hide it forever you know" She sighed.

"Though, this wasn't how i expected them to figure out" she huffed. "But don't worry Jen, for real i'm okay. I'm starting to accept the fact that i have the disease and it doesn't bother me much anymore." She shrugged smiling softly at him.

"Thank you for worrying Jeno, but you should get home. You have tutor don't you?" She said and rushed him away. he hesitated for awhile, but she seemed okay so he left with a bit of worry in his heart.

She sighed walking back home. "Murk i'm home" She yawned tiredly and threw her bag on the couch. "Did something happen at school?" He asked walking down the stairs to see his distressed sister

"Quite a lot actually" she sighed in frustration. "Yo you'll be fine Min, you're you you know."She smiled and nodded "I know murk." "Murk?" He said putting his palm over his geart making her laughed. He hasn't heard her laugh in a long time. He smiled softly. "Yo wanna do a Harry potter movie marathon tonight?" Her eyes lit up at the mention at her favorite movies.

"Of course! who the fuck would turn down harry potter?" She exclaimed and walked into her room excited. Mark watched her every move with a big smiled on his face. If only he could turn back time. 

She came down in her comfortable mickey mouse pjs smiling like a idiot. "What are you standing there for? get the movie ready already!" she rushed towards the couch waiting for him to start the movie. 

They cracked many jokes together on the couch, it was a good memory to remember. "Yo dude don't hurt my feelings like that" He whined and she cackled, "Sorry murk it's just that y-you were so asleep i needed to do something" she said laughing out loud.

"I thought some random person got in! Fuck you Youngmin" Mark said acting hurt. "Alright alright! ahaha i'm sorry murk" he smiled and nodded. "That's what i thought- oh Johnny is calling me"

"Yo dude it's been so long! how's america?" Mark asked. "Oh Youngmin? yeah she's right here aight hold on dude" he said putting it on speaker "Hi johnny!" she said laughing. "Hey kid how's life over there?" "Good, boring without you though" "Dude!" Mark yelled pushing her shoulder a bit making her laugh. "Alright Alright I'm sorry murk, anyways Johnny you wanted to talk to me right? what's up?"

"Layla thinks she's preggo"
