Diana's POV

"Does it still hurt?" I asked Sunghoon, as I finished wrapping his head in a bandage. Beomgyu was in Ni-Ki's room, taking care of him while Jake and Sunoo were busy with Jungwon and I had taken up the initiative to look after Sunghoon.

"It hurts a bit but I will be fine." He said, smiling. I smiled, as I closed the first aid kit. I stood up, as I left to room, wondering if Jungwon had woken up yet or not. As as I passing by the stairs, I came across Kai, who had been given the duty to serve refreshments to all the people who were staying up, looking after the injured ones.

"You didn't eat anything-" He said, stopping me, worried expression etched all over his face. I shook my head, looking down.

"I'm not hungry at all so don't force me to eat." I stated, looking up at him. He nodded, agreeing with me.

"At least go and drink some water- you didn't have that too." He said, a soft smile on his lips. I nodded, as I agreed to have a drink downstairs. I climbed downstairs and reached the ground floor, taking some water in a glass and climbed back upstairs, making my way towards Jungwon's room.

As I was walking towards his room, I realised that the door of his room was slightly ajar. Thinking that he must have regained his conscious, I quickly rushed towards his room but stopped in my tracks when I heard someone sniffling. I stood there, listening to the conversation which was happening inside the room.

"Jake, what if he doesn't get up at all- we tried everything but still," Sunoo said, his voice cracking, as he sniffled. Soon I heard a bit of shuffling noise, after which I could hear the younger male let out muffled cries in someone's shoulder.

"He will get up, alright? Don't worry." I heard Jake say, as he tried to console the younger male, who was probably crying in his arms.

Jake's POV

"We can't let anyone know about this or else it would have an impact on everyone's will to fight the war." I said, as Sunoo pulled away from me, wiping his tears. Suddenly, my eyes fell to the door and I saw a shadow of a person, near the room. My eyes widened in surprise, as I realised someone had overheard us. Before I could go out and see who it was, the shadow quickly disappeared.

"Shit!" I cursed under my breath, as I looked around. Suddenly, I heard glass breaking from upstairs.

Diana's POV

I realised that Jake had noticed me overhearing their conversation. I quickly ran upstairs in my room, as my blood boiled in anger on the thought that Jungwon might loose his life because of Dad.

"Stupid bitch!" I cursed, as I threw the glass in my hand on the floor in anger, as tears streamed down my face. Suddenly, I heard footsteps approaching towards the room.

"Diana!" Jake shouted, as he rushed towards me, taking me in his warm embrace.

Jake's POV

I wrapped my arms around Diana, as I softly patted her head to calm her down. I stared at the floor, as I saw pieces for broken glass scattered all over. 

"You heard us, didn't you?" I asked softly, as I looked down at Diana, who was clinging to me with fistful of my t-shirt in her hands, her head on my shoulder, as she nodded slowly.

"I am going make Dad fucking pay for what he did to Jungwon and avenge all the people who have suffered in his hands." She said in a low voice through clenched teeth, almost growling in anger. I nodded slowly, as I walked towards the bed and sat on it, making her sit beside me.

"Nothing will happen to Jungwon, okay? I know him well and I'm sure he won't give up on us like that." I said, as I made the female face me. "And we all are going to make Jungwoo regret." I said, as I looked at Diana, making an eye contact with her. She nodded slowly, as she rested her head on my shoulder. I wrapped my arms around her, as we sat like that in silence for sometime. Soon, Diana fell asleep in my arms, as she was tired but didn't really show it to us. I pecked her forehead, as I lied her down so that she could sleep comfortably. 

After cleaning up the mess in our room, I went towards Jungwon's room and saw Sunoo sleeping, while sitting on the chair, beside Jungwon's bed. I smiled to myself, as I quietly shook the white-haired male awake.

"Go to sleep. I'll stay here." I said. Sunoo nodded sleepily, as he stood up and left the room without any word. I sighed, as I sat down on the chair, while looking at Jungwon who was still lying unconscious, bandages wrapped around his head and body. I checked his pulse and realised that he was still alive but his pulse rate was comparatively slower.

"You better regain conscious or else I'll throw away your PS5." I said, letting out a breathy chuckle, as I took his hands in mine, gently pressing them. I shifted in my chair, sitting down comfortably, as I opened the book I had brought, deciding to spend my time reading it while I keep a watch on the male lying on the bed.
