Hidden

Chapter 5: Messy

Let's say that Nayeon was very distraught to wake up to a sobbing sound. She groaned quietly, not hearing the noise at first, as her head was still buzzing. She blinked a few times before sitting up only to notice that Momo wasn't on the bed.

That made her go back to her senses very quick.

"Momo?" She looked around her, but no Momo in sight. Only the sobbing sound. So she got off the bed hastily, almost falling because of the sheets tangled up with her legs.

She panicked. Her eyes scanned across the room, when she suddenly noticed, at the other side of the bed, Momo laying on her stomach on the floor, crying quietly.

It felt like lighting striking her in the heart. She rushed over to Momo, trying to help her sit up.

"Momo! What the hell did you do?!" Her voice sounded angrier than she intended it to be. It probably scared Momo too, as another stream of tears slid down her cheeks just when she looked up at Nayeon.

Shit.

"Hey. Hey." Nayeon tried to calm her down, her arms wrapping around the younger girl's waist, making her sit up. She settled down too, making Momo sit in her lap, holding her close. "I'm sorry babe. I didn't want to sound rough." She landed a kiss on her wet cheek. She brushed a dark lock away, keeping it from sticking it to Momo's wet skin.

Momo was trying to say something but because of her sobs, the words coming out of her mouth only turned into an incoherent mess.

"Calm down honey. It's okay now. I'm here." She ran her hand her hands through the other's soft hair, pulling her in closer. And Momo, almost instinctively, put her arms around Nayeon, clutching onto her tightly.

"I-it hurts..." She whimpered against the older girl's shoulder and Nayeon immediately reacted.

"Is it you're ankle?" Momo answered with a small nod. "I'll go get a nurse, okay?" Nayeon caressed Momo's cheek lightly, trying to give her some kind of comfort. "Just, uh, don't move, okay?"

Well, it's not like she could. But Momo gave another nod regardless, slowly getting off from Nayeon's lap. Of course the older girl didn't feel comfortable leaving her on the ground like that, but she had no choice. It's not like she could lift her up and carry her to the bed.

Nayeon wasn't exactly pleased by the results.

There needed to be two nurses to carry Momo back to her bed, and change the sheets while they were at it. They didn't exactly do it in the gentlest ways, seeing the scrunched up expression on Momo's face. That made Nayeon quite angry, but she had to contain herself. She didn't want another scandal any soon. Oh no.

But at least she wasn't spread all over the floor. That's already an update.

They gave her painkillers, and a set of pills Nayeon didn't really know.

When the nurses left the room, Momo sighed quietly. She was tucked behind the covers again, her cheeks kinda puffy because of the crying. Her eyes pointed downwards as she tried to escape Nayeon's piercing stare.

But it didn't work. Nayeon sat down next to the bed, putting her hand on Momo's then giving it a small squeeze.

"Momo. Please." But Momo still wasn't facing her. Nayeon sighed quietly, now caressing her small hand.

"I'm sorry, Nayeon. I tried to go to the bathroom but I fell." The younger girl mumbled. Her fingers wrapped around a part of the sheets, discreetly fidgeting with it. "I- I didn't want to turn this mess into a bigger one."
