Weeks had gone by, later turning into a month. It felt like an eternity for the pair— the girl felt helpless about getting into recovery.

She had been able to control herself from cutting, Jisung had spent every dying minute with the girl making sure she wouldn't do anything. Even after the many "leave me alone"s— he simply couldn't leave her alone, scared she'd self sabotage.

As time went on she'd slowly start communicating again, though her face rested— leaving others unsure of what she felt. Somehow the boy by her side knew what she felt and what she wanted almost always.

"Aeri!" the boys all screamed— running into the secluded house. Walking down the stairs she noticed the group of teenagers— plastered toothy grins on their faces as they eyed the female. Noticing how well she had gotten since last time they had properly seen her.

"Hey guys" making her last step on the stair case, the group all rushed towards the girl— attacking her with a big bear hug. It had been awhile since she last had been embraced by the group of teenagers— the scent of mixed colognes intoxicated the girls nose, almost making her fall into a trance.

"How are you?" the eldest asked, pulling each member away from the girl to make sure she wouldn't be clustered by them. She shrugged, not really knowing what to tell them— "I'm doing alright" her lips pursed up together as her shoulders lifted up to later fall back down.

The dirty blonde haired boy later made an entrance into the living room, a glass of water in one hand and a pill bottle in the other. The group of teenagers all eyed him as he made his way up to the girl— "Here" his grasp tightened on the plastic pill bottle, dumping a few gel capsules onto the girls palm.

Her eyes crinkled— giving the boy a small smile as she got ahold of the glass that was filled with cold water. "What are those for?" the tanned male asked the question that floated around in everyone's head, pointing his index finger at the pill bottle in the males hand. "It's Aeri's medication" simply answering the curious boys— returning to the kitchen to put the bottle in the cupboards.

"So how's everything? Is he treating you well?" the two toned male arose from the group— his small figure stepping in front of the taller males as he approached the girl.

She nodded— they all relieved themselves at the girls affirmation, as much as they trusted their fellow brother— worry still took over their bodies. He had never been in a relationship so seeing him taking delicate care of a girl was not a familiar sight.

Then again, she's not just any girl.

She was their best friend, they had only wanted the best for the pair.

But how long until they find out the truth?

"What are you guys talking about?" the youngest entered the room, crashing into the conversation— they all intensely eyed the male.

"Aeri said you're not treating her right" the tanned male angrily stated— the Park earning a punch to the shoulder from the eldest. "What? that's not true!" he whined, rubbing the pained area.

"That's not what she told us!!" he charged towards the youngest— in defense the boy ran away, screaming for his life as if he was about to die.

The teenagers all bursted into laughter at the sight of the two running around the house. Even the raven haired girl laughed a little— not a full laugh but just a little chuckle.

"Jisung and Haechan stop!" the eldest called out— making the pair stop in unison. The tallest fell forward while the tanned male did the same, falling on top of the youngest.

Grunting in pain— they immediately got off each other, dusting off their clothes. "Um" she chocked on her words— her cough echoed which made the boys look at her.

"I have to go okay Ji?" she told the dirty blonde haired male, remembering how she would go visit her friends today after years. "Okay be careful Ae" patting the crown on the girls head, giving her a kiss on the forehead.

She nodded, "Where are you going?" the tanned male asked— they had just seen her after so long and she was already leaving. "I have to go see someone" without getting into detail or mentioned the girl she just reassured them she'd be okay and it'd be quick.

She bid her goodbye and left the suffocating house, though it had been so long— she couldn't help but wonder all the possibilities and wrong doings that could happen.
