~Aspect's P.O.V~

"Come on Aspect, let's get you cleaned up" Kun told me. I didn't answer him at first. I couldn't. 

Then Doyoung walked over. "Go ahead Aspect. You did everything you could. We'll stay out here and wait for him" Doyoung told me, putting a reassuring hand on my shoulder. Reluctantly I nodded my head, not wanting to take my eyes off of where Johnny went to. But Kun grabbed my hand and led me upstairs. 

He took me into the bathroom and said "Go ahead and take a shower, I'll grab your clothes for you". Then he left the room. So I obliged, I turned on the shower and hopped in. A few seconds later I heard the door open and Kun say "We'll all be downstairs. Feel free to come down when you're done".

I didn't respond to that, I just continued desperately trying to scrub all the blood off.

~Time Skip~

Once I was done I waited downstairs anxiously alongside everyone else. Jisung showered after me and after around 30 minutes he came back down. He sat down next to me and when he did I shifted uncomfortably. I think he noticed this because he looked at me awkwardly.

I didn't know what happened with him and Johnny, and honestly I don't think I want to. Even though I may not like NCT that much, what happened to Johnny isn't right. After a little while longer, everyone else from the mission ran inside. Taeyong led the pack, looking sweaty and disheveled. "Where is he?" Taeyong immediately asked. I put my head down.

"He's in surgery right now" Renjun told him sadly. I still looked down. I couldn't make eye contact with anyone.

"Well has there been any sort of updates? Do we know if he's going to be okay?" Mark also questioned frantically.

"Your guess is as good as ours, Mark" Chenle told him, folding his arms across his chest. "We don't know anything, so please stop asking" Chenle continued to say.

"What about them?" Yuta stepped in to ask, pointing to Jisung and I. I looked up at him and saw a very pissed off expression on his face. "Surely they know something. Like how did this even happen?" Yuta spat, visibly angry. I sighed and finally looked at everyone.

"I don't know anything either. I was inside and ran out after Mark said Johnny was down. I saw Johnny bleeding on the ground and so I acted. You'll have to talk to Taeil when he's out or Jisung cause I have no clue what happened before I got there." I explained, not willing to take any sort of blame for what happened to Johnny. This one's on Jisung, and hopefully Taeyong will recognize this.

"Fair enough, so Jisung?" Haechan asked. Jisung looked down at the ground and fiddled with his hands. I couldn't help but feel slightly bad for the poor boy.

"I-I was fighting off the g-guards. But it became w-way too much for me. S-So, I freaked out and I r-ran behind the closest person. W-Which was J-Johnny. I h-hid behind him and when he asked me what h-happened, he was caught off guard. Someone had s-shot him" Then Jisung paused and started crying. We were all silent, waiting for him to continue. After a second or two he did "I-I wanted to help him. B-But I couldn't. I just watched him. I was t-too scared to do anything. But then A-Aspect came. S-She was able to help him s-since I wasn't" Jisung finished explaining. None of us said anything, everyone was silent. None of us knew what to say to the boy, cause no matter what we said or did, nothing good would come out of it. 

We all looked at one another, not wanting to yell at the boy but knowing if we opened our mouths thats what would happen. The silence was broken by Taeyong. "Jisung you are now on suspension for the time being" Taeyong stated plainly. All of our eyes widened.
