spending the next few days in hospital wasn't on renjun's agenda, but he found himself in the somewhat familiar building he spent a short while in his toddler years after he sprained his ankle
unfortunately, he had reverted back to the silent, almost corpse-like facade he had grown to live as as a child. he barely spoke, only muttering short sentences or single words in his mother tongue before sealing his lips and staring off into space, the trauma bubbling up to the surface and pricking at his brain like an itch that burned that you just couldn't get rid of
kun and xiaori had spent the majority of the time tending to the ill-minded omega, holding his hand and reminding him that he was indeed loved so much, and he didn't deserve to be hurt again by the monsters that had caged him like a helpless little bird, unable to fly and escape from the pain and torture
after four days in the hospital, renjun was deemed healthy enough to leave and travel home. he was discharged from hospital and in the next few hours he was seated on a plane and on the first flight to seoul
the poor boy hadn't spoken a word of korean, he couldn't even get out full sentences in chinese and had a flight attendant (who works with the hospital) help him with getting through the journey and through the airport to meet his mother
jiyoung had insisted that everyone else stay home, for she knew first-hand the effect trauma had on her son. even jisung had to stay back, no matter how much he begged his mum to see his brother and shed however many tears, she still had to say no. renjun was so fragile in this state, and she knew that he could possibly go through the same chain reaction he had when he was only twelve and hurt another person against his will
"hey baby.. let's go home sweetheart, everyone's there right now but we can help you straight to your room if you want" she smiled; refusing to lose hope as he didn't answer, his eyes glossy, fists clenching and unclenching as he tried to calm himself from breaking down in the middle of the airport parking lot
jiyoung helped renjun into her car, buckling him in nicely and putting his bags in the boot
the drive was long and silent, and renjun truly wished to speak and tell his mama just how much he loved her and how sorry he was for not being able to even open his mouth and speak a single word
when they arrived at the familiar house, renjun exited the car and practically ran into the house, upstairs and into his bedroom
he climbed into his bed, heart warming as he recognised the scent of his boyfriends, and closed his eyes tightly
it took five days for renjun to finally leave his room, still completely non-verbal but his body and mind calling out for love and affection from whoever he could get it from
luckily, jeno and jaemin had been spending almost every night in his house, sleeping in the guest room and hovering around downstairs helping out with jiyoung or huagun whenever he brought reilun over
jisung had been out for the day with chenle (after a lot of convincing from the latter) and jiyoung had just popped out for shopping
"baby?" jeno's head popped through the door at the sound of light footsteps, jaemin's head following seconds later with bright eyes
