The hospital doors were shoved open the outside sound of sirens and cop cars making the silent hospital room burst into life.

"Quick somebody please help" Jeno's voice was strained and he could feel his arms aching from carrying the weight of one of his team members for so long, stray tears fell from his eyes and he couldn't see straight his heart pounding louder than the group of medical professionals running and yelling at him, giving him different instructions.

Jeno placed his team member onto the bed that was wheeled in front of him and the weight left his arms but yet he could still feel the ache, Jeno stood frozen after seeing the medical professionals wheel the bed away, walking backwards Jeno's mind was going haywire and he didn't know what to do the only thing he knew was that he wanted to cry.

Jeno stopped feeling the wall against his back before he dropped to the floor back sliding against the wall, the warmth now fading from his own body, blood staining almost every inch of his clothing, bystanders look at him wondering what had happened and Jeno could feel himself lose breath and no matter how much he tried to calm himself down it wasn't working.

"Sir I need your help ok?"a nurse had appeared in front of him and Jeno nodded breathing harshly, the nurse took note of his state, his arms were wrapped around himself as he rocked slowly, clearly in a state of shock.

"Sir I need your help to identify the patient, what is the name of the person you've brought to us today?" The nurse took a deep break when Jeno finally looked up.

" Lee-"

Jeno's body jolted awake, he felt tears streaming down his face, Jeno gasped harshly feeling around and only feeling the silk of his bed sheets, his body no longer covered in blood and he was no longer in a hospital but his own bed, a dream Jeno finally concluded after almost twenty minutes.

"just a dream" he mumbled before leaving his bed, it was almost time to get up anyway. 

...

The months went on, eventually everyone had stopped trying to understand and help fix the situation but instead continued to do their jobs, Jaehyun actually felt like a weight was lifted off her shoulders now not having to constantly work harder than the others so she'd be recognised as a leader, now she could finally do the bare minimum and only do what she was asked but obviously she couldn't help herself sometimes, she even started to grow closer to her members finally tearing down the barrier she set up now that everyone knows what happened.

Jeno on the other hand has been acting odd, less opinionated, a little more stubborn but much more distracted, he seems sorry that's for sure but who has time for that? Definitely not Lieutenant Lee Jeno.

Jeno was really going through the motions, his bad dreams were happening much more frequently, each night ending in himself covered in someone else's blood, each night more traumatic than the rest, it was the stress he told himself.

This morning was rather pleasant than the last, all members of dream besides the captain were working on their new project while the captain was in a meeting with the Chief and a few of the other department leaders, Jaemin yawned sitting up straight in his desk chair pushing himself away and turning around to see if anyone else was bored as fuck.

Jaemin rolled his seat over to Jaehyuns desk as she was busy typing away reading large paragraphs that had jaemins eyes bulging, his pink hair not yet being retired falling over his face as he shook his head.

"need anything Officer Na?" Jaehyun looked away from her computer to write something down, Jaemin moved his gaze from her computer to her face, Jaemin sighed to himself.
