..[13]..

9:52 PM was the time shown on his phone.

You know that feeling when your whole heart drops and your body feels cold for a split second? That's how jeongin felt during this time.

When jeongin began breathing again his breaths came out in gasps. He didn't know what to do since literal fear was flooding his veins. He'd never been late for curfew before. He was genuinely so afraid at what his parents might do to him.

Jeongin turned and began running down the short hallway and into the living room. He gathered his various things that were in there like his folder containing his music. All three boys moved their attention to him since he was frantically gathering his things desperately trying not to break down.

"Jeongin what's wrong?" Chan sat up and looked at jeongin concerned.

"I'm late! I'm so late!" He yelled frantically and started to cry. Just speaking a small sentence made him break down.

Jisung pulled out his phone to check the time

"It's already almost 10? Jeongin your parents... "

"Yes and my mom it so mad at me. I'm going to be in so much trouble when I get there and I'm so scared. What if they ground me or what if-"

"Hold on.. Slow down" Chan stood from the couch and walked over to jeongin "lets get some pants on you and your shoes and then I'll take you home okay? I'll take all the blame-"

"Channie my parents can't know I was with you!" Jeongin cried out through his tears. If they knew he was with Chan they'd punish him so much worse.

"Innie get the shorts back on and your shoes and let's get home okay?"

Jeongin nodded and allowed Chan to help him into the shorts. His sniffles played throughout the room as everyone was worried for jeongin. Everyone liked the boy and nobody wanted to see him cry.

"Come on baby... " Jisung helped jeongin get his shoes back on as he tried to calm him down.

"I'll drive you there and park a few blocks away" Minho said softly to jeongin who nodded with a sniffle.

Everyone went out to the car where they all piled in. Jeongin sat on chans lap hugging him like his life depended on it. He was terrified for what might come.

The car ride was silent other than jeongins crying. He hadn't stopped due to the utter fear he felt of what awaited him at home.

Chan held jeongin the whole way home. Occasionally he wiped away jeongins tears and whispered sweet nothings to him to try and calm him down but it didn't work. Jeongin clung to the blonde as Minho pulled up to the curb with jisung having told him where to park.

"Come on jeonginnie I'll walk you up there okay?" Jisung said reaching back to the younger and grabbing his hand in comfort.

Jeongin nodded and pulled back from chans embrace only to be pulled back into a hug and to get a small kiss placed on his forehead.

"Call me or text me later."

Jeongin nodded and climbed out of the car along with jisung. Once on the sidewalk jisung grabbed jeongins hand and squeezed it.

"I'll take the blame so you won't get in trouble jeongin"

"No sungie.. Your parents are going to kill you too" He sniffled.

"They think I'm at seungmins.. "

The two block walk went by way too fast.

It was almost taunting jeongin in a way as he walked up to his front door which was immediately opened by his parents.
