~ Taeyong's P.O.V ~

"... What the hell?"

I say after I've opened my eyes, looking around my cell as I try to figure out what just happened before I've woken up. I couldn't really remember what happened before I've fallen asleep. All I remember was that I was at the cafeteria for a while and Y/N played a game with me that she made for me. Why can't I remember anything from yesterday?

As I sat up from my bed, I noticed a gift placed on my side table as I wondered who could've given that to me.

"... Oh, it must've been from Y/N."

I say to myself before I finally start opening the paper bag. Inside the paper bag were multiple eyeshadow palettes and makeup brushes. I smiled to myself before picking up the piece of paper that came with the paper bag. I started to read what the note said and I eventually assumed that something bad might've happened yesterday.

[ 'Hey, I'm sorry for not being there with you. I hope this would make you feel better. Take care.' - Y/N ]

As I laid down the palettes, I started to look for an interesting shade that would fit my eyelids. I usually go for the red shades because intense, vibrant colors always fit me perfectly. However, I didn't know that a sparkly purple eyeshadow would fit me. I was also quite surprised by the fact that the gift came with two extra eyeliners.

"... A lip gloss, too?!"

I exclaimed in disbelief, still surprised at how Y/N's gift was really well thought. I felt so thankful because I have a friend like her. She's everything that anyone would ask for. A comforter when you cry, a friend you can trust, a person you're comfortable with, and... someone you can love wholeheartedly.

She's not just a gift... but she's also a need.

"Spit it out."

Jungwoo says as I let out a sigh, later taking a deep breath.

"... Seeing Taeyong like that makes me feel so bad. I know that it's something you need to do when they feel... that way but... Taeyong didn't deserve that! He was just in pain and going through intense PTSD or something-"
"Y/N, I think it's better for you to tell Dr. Suh at least about this thing about Taeyong."

Jungwoo suggests, giving me a rub on my back as he tries to give me comfort. I honestly didn't know what to do because Taeyong is surely an "insane" inmate but he's also a good friend of mine...

He's an obligation of mine and I have to do everything I can just so I can fix him and the other criminals of this particular hallway. I know that Taeyong has a purpose with this case but I need to weigh the facts and emotions that I have.

It's exhausting but I have to exert more effort than this.

"You should tell Dongyoung about this or we don't know what's gonna happen between Taeyong and the nurses..."

Jungwoo suggests once more as I try to come up with something that would prevent me from telling anyone about Taeyong's case. He already trusts me and I don't want his trust to be broken again.

"But, Jungwoo, I don't even know if Taeyong wants his story to even be known."
"... Look, Y/N... Taeyong needs his story to be known in this station because this issue can put more people in danger. Think about the girls and boys in the prostitution case... Don't you think that they need to be saved from that nightmare, too?"
