Chapter 17 | "your story"

"Knock knock, can I come in?"

Minji looked up from the book she was reading to see Taeyong leaning on her door.

"Yeah, of course Tae, what's up?"

"How are you feeling?" He asked, coming to sit on the edge of her bed.

"My shoulder hurts like a bitch, but I'm alright." She mumbled. "How's the rest of the guys?"

"All doing fine, most of their cuts have healed and we're all going back to normal." He said with a nod. "But not you."

She let out an annoyed groan.

"Minji I'm serious this time. You're not allowed to leave this room for a week, and you're on a strict no training break for at least two weeks."

"But Taeyong-"

"No buts, this is final." He sighed as he saw how upset she was. "Look, we won't do any missions that you don't know about until you're better, I'll even tell Jisung and Chenle to let you help with directing us, but you have to fully recover, okay?"

"Fine. But I'll hold you to that."

She watched as a relieved smile spread across Taeyong's face. He bent down and placed a kiss on her forehead before standing and leaving her room.

She sighed, looking around at her bedroom that would be her prison for the next few days.

"Goddamnit Minji," she mumbled to herself. "you just had to go and get hurt again, you stubborn bitch."

The rest of the day was peaceful. Taeil had come in to change her bandages, he said her wound was healing well so that's a plus. All the guys had been filtering in and out of her room, entertaining her for a bit before they had to go. Now she was working on her chemistry notes when there was a knock on her door.

"Come in." She called, setting her pen down.

She cocked an eyebrow in surprise as Haechan walked in, an awkward smile on his face as he walked over and took a seat on the chair next to her bed.

"How are you uh how are you feeling?" He asked, his eyes lingering on her bandaged shoulder.

"I've been better but I'm managing." She shrugged. "What about you?"

"Oh I'm fine, just some cuts and stuff." He mumbled.

She stared at him curiously, seeing him struggle to get words out of his mouth. She just crossed her arms over her chest with a smirk.

"So what brings you here?"

"I-I just... wanted to come and say thank you." He said, her eyes widening in shock as the smirk fell from her face.

"What?"

"Thank you, Minji." He turned to look at her, his eyes meeting hers. "You saved out asses yesterday. And... Thanks for going back for Jaehyun. I know you're close with him too but it means a lot to me."

"Y-yeah of course." She stuttered out, shocked with how genuine he was being. "It's what I do. We're in this together, remember? Personal bullshit aside."

He awkwardly cleared his throat, standing abruptly from his seat.

"Right well, uh anyway, I'll be uh I'll be going. See you later."

He rushed to the door, refusing to meet her eyes.

"Bye, Haechan."

"Hey man, watch this." Renjun slid into the seat next to Haechan, a mischievous glint in his eyes.

Haechan watched as Renjun chucked a ball of paper across the room, smacking into the back of a girl's head. Renjun instantly started snickering as the girl turned around, baffled.
