Eternal (Jaehyun x reader)

A world under a red lens

Everything was in a haze as you tried frantically to keep your eyes open. Shadowy figures were on either side of you, but your brain was running so sluggishly you couldn't even make out their faces.
You pulled against the restrains that were holding you down against the cold surface as hard as you possibly could, the rope digging into your torso, arms and legs so hard that you could only register the searing pain you felt struggling against them.
Whatever they had drugged you with was starting to take its effect. Your skin felt cold and your limbs felt like chains weighing you down, unable to escape. You felt terror, and pain. Tears streamed in your eyes and you blinked trying so desperately to remain awake, to try and save some small unrealistic chance you could somehow free yourself, but you felt strangling fear take over you as you realised: it was no use. The tears ran freely down your face as you shut your eyes. You could only try to convince yourself this was all some sort of nightmare, and that the suffocating pain would soon wash over you and send you into darkness.

You weren't aware that you had been unconscious. You blinked, the world was a strange tint of red and your vision was clouded, the ringing in your ears was throwing you off completely as you lay there, dazed, desperate to find out what the fuck was happening right in front of you. The ringing subsided and you blinked a few times out of panic, but your newfound vision gave you no relief whatsoever. A doctor towered over you and the sharp smell of antiseptic chemicals in sterile rooms overwhelmed your senses. It was a familiar scent, but one you had wished you would not have to bare again.

 A doctor was leaning over you, his gloved hand holding a large syringe filled with blood red liquid. You eyes widened and you tried desperately to scream, struggling against the restraints again choking as a suffocating feeling tightened over your throat. The doctors eyes widened just slightly under the mask and shouted instructions, almost none of which you could pick up as the ringing resurfaced, your whole body in agony.
"-side effects.....extensive measures-"

Force held down both your arms roughly and your body felt weak as once more, you could do nothing to prevent your fate. A new doctor entered your field of vision, and a cruel smile plastered his face as he jabbed the needle into your neck painfully. You were still unable to breathe, but another wave of agony hit you, this time so much harder than the times before. A shrill foreign noise was all you could hear, and it took you several minutes to realise it was your own screaming as you felt your reality being teared apart right in front of you.

You couldn't feel any of your limbs, and the only thing that you could register at all was the persistent dull ache that took over your brain. You could tell at the very least you were still drugged up, and the comfort it was wearing off paled in comparison to the dread you were feeling.

You attempted to open your eyes, and the harsh sunlight hurt your eyes, and you felt almost as if it was burning into your skull. You moved yourself away as best you could and felt the pain subside a little bit, but it was soon over-taken by a strong feeling of nausea. You could barely stand, but you half-stumbled, half-dragged yourself across the room before vomiting into the toilet.

Breathing irregularly, you slumped against the cold bathroom wall and shakily looked around. You could see that somehow, you were back in your dorm, which made your blood run cold as you remembered your last memories of the sterile lab they had chained you up in. But that triggered the nausea again and you spent several minutes emptying the contents of your stomach.

You looked at your hands wearily. Your vision was somewhat blurred, and your fingers were trembling. You felt sweaty and your whole body hurt as you looked up at the mirror above the sink from your slumped position on the floor. You felt your heart drop as you considered what marks were all over your body from whatever they had done to you. You closed your eyes and wondered if you would be able to handle taking a shower knowing you would see exactly what they had done. You decided that was not something you could bear right now, and pushed the thoughts away; feeling the bile rising again in your throat, and instead wracked your brain through fragmented memories, trying to figure out what happened to you. You frowned and your eyes widened as you remembered:

you stopped laughing rather abruptly as you saw jaehyun get grabbed roughly by guards and dragged away from you.

Panic was well-evident on his features as he tried to reach out to you, eyes wide. "H-hey wait! I thought we agreed, I thought you said-"

You grimaced. Even trying to recall memories made your head hurt, but you were too angry to care. Who the fuck did this to you? Was Jaehyun involved? Your blood boiled. You had no idea what damage they did to you, or the lasting impact it could have on your life. Was this place even a school? To say you felt terrified was an understatement. You were trapped here on the top of a mountain with teachers that probably weren't even teachers, who hurt children in special laboratories. The taking the phones away, the location, the rules.....it was all so convenient...

Trying to ignore your thoughts once more, you suddenly realised how quiet it was. Silent, in fact. Not only that but you had no idea what time it was or what fucking day. For all you knew, you could've been gone for weeks. All the uncertainty made you feel worse, and you decided the only thing you could do was backtrack to the last thing you remembered.
Jaehyun.

A/N: sorry this chapter is late guys! My exams dragged longer than I had expected so I had to delay writing this part for a while. Also, I'm aware this is short but I needed for it to end here, otherwise it would've really dragged...
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed, I'm already in the process of writing part four, thanks for reading :)
