"Maejin" Hyunjin never arrived faster at a place after hearing the news. "Are you okay? I should've been there, what did he do to you?" He immediately walked over to her "hyunjin, are you okay?" She questioned since she didn't quite know what happened after they left him alone at the hospital "I'm okay, what about you?" She should stop lying "well... it all escalatet a bit you know. Yong-sun he...", "I knew he was behind this" he went through his hair "He now is dead, so it's okay. We're safe now" His eyes wided "he is?", "Yeah when-" she got interrupted by someone else storming inside.
"Maejin" Yuqi cried out "oh god, its fine" She chuckled "What is fine? Nothing is fine. Who did this to you?" She went down to hug her as Maejin flinched in pain "Don't touch her like that" Hyunjin complained pulling her back "sorry" she covered her mouth "is it the back?" Yuqi was the only one that didn't know anything about this at all, she did know about Hye-jin though. "It's a long story. Let's... talk about this another time"
Just like that the door opened. Again? "Maejin we're sorry that we came late that day-" Soobin stopped himself from talking after he saw Yuqi. Followed by Beomgyu entering. Just having a vision of every one standing around her bed just coming here because they were worried warmed her heart. Minho stayed with her two days, Chan came visiting twice a day checking on her. Hyunjin and the rest coming just after hearing she's awake just showed her that no one would leave her and that she isn't alone at all.
"You guys all don't have to feel sorry or bad, I feel sorry for not appreciating you all enough. Without each of you, I wouldn't have been still alive" she wasn't lying about it. They made her want to hold onto life.
10 days later
"I bought you your favourite noodles. It was hard to get them, but-" Minho stopped talking as soon as he saw her packing her bag. "Huh?" He placed the food on the table "Are you leaving already, I thought only in four days?" He questioned as Maejin turned around "Ah, he said that I would spend the last days resting so I insited to do that at home instead. I will go after four days and get checked for a last time" She explained "you shouldn't be walking too much though" he guided her back to bed "You know it's good you came, because..." she pointed at some fresh clothes she laid out. Comfortable sweatpants and a hoodie. "Can you help me get dressed?" Minho basically felt his heart beating faster as he raised his eyebrows "w-what?"
"I mean just like pulling the hoodie over or some, because moving my arms that much, still hurts" He snatched back out of his thoughts "If its okay for you" she added, "Yeah no it is, don't worry" He carefully started to move under her hospital shirt as he went into one sleeve gently taking her arm pulling it out "does it hurt like this?" He stopped halfway "no it's fine" he did the same with the other arm as the shirt was only left around her neck "I'm gonna pull it up okay?", "Do you think it'll hurt me, or are you just warning yourself?" She questioned as he just brushed this comment off.
He moved it over her head trying to be as gentle as possible. He folded the shirt together placing it on the bed as she waited for him to put on the hoodie. He looked at her real quick, she wore a sports bra as she still had the bandage around her stomach and back. He already struggled with one shot in the leg and doesn't even wanna know how much this must've hurt. She truly keeps proving him how strong she really is.
"Will your arm be okay?" He suddenly stopped his action so she faced first him, then the arm "they sewed it and already removed the threat, it'll heal but... another scar will probably remain" she told him "hm.. but you know, I think scars suit you" she let out a small huff "was this suppose to cheer me up?", "No, I'm honest. These days people find those cool. You don't need to hide it, see it not as a painful past but as..a way of showing what you've all been through, through what you've gained strength and what you did to survive. What matters is that you're okay now, so you don't need to care about what other people might think of it. Wear it proud, you should always feel comfortable in your own skin and shouldn't feel the need to hide it. And I find you beautiful, each feature of your body and personality is" she sank into his eyes as he told so. He had a talent of forming words beautifully together. He barely gives compliments, but when he does it's truly something special with a true meaning behind it.
He suddenly cleaned his throat "Well you'll freeze like this, let's continue" she chuckled as she moved forward to kiss his cheek "Thank you Minho. I appreciate the way that you think of it and me" without him noticing, his ears turned red. "Hm come on, pull it over" She told him, so he did.

"We're he-" He stopped talking as he moved his head to the side just to see Maejin sleeping. Was his driving really always that tiring? His hand still was holding hers resting on her leg as her head tending to fall over, so he placed his free hand infront of it. Maejin woke up as soon as her forehead touched something that was preventing her from falling over. "Oh sorry, I must've fallen asleep" Shs rubbed her eyes "Are you tired?" He looked at her slowly blinking at her slightly pouty face and small tired eyes "No, it's fine" She yawned. She turned her head to him since he still didn't get out of the car "Aren't we going inside?", "I never told you this, but do you know that you're quite cute?" Never ever she expected someone to call her cute. Like she'd understand every statement Minho made about her, but the word cute didn't usually belong to his vocabulary.
"Wh-what cute?" She blinked "mhm" he nodded "Too much, let's go" she unplugged her seat belt "wait wait hold up, I'll help" Just like that he already was on her side supporting her walking.
"Here" he laid her down on the bed "mh thank you, you can leave now" She told him "what?.. like not even 'make yourself feel home'?" She tilted herself "Invite yourself yourself" she pulled the blanket over her "Are you going to sleep?" She nodded "I see... should I leave?" He questioned "You can" He hummed in response scratching his neck "well then I'll get going" Maejin didn't even reply anymore drifting off into a finally comfortable sleep.
"Sleep well"
