Stray Kids: Their Girl

Chapter 19: Lucid Dreaming

Chija POV: 

Black. That's all I could see. The world around me was nothing but a dark, empty abyss. I twitched, my arms tense as I tried to open my eyes. It felt as though there were dumbels tied to my eyelashes, preventing any movement from occurring. "Chija-ah, can you hear me?" A soft, deep voice filtered through my mind. 'Felix, is that you?' I felt my voice echo, my conscious speaking to nobody. 

"Ms Min-Sun, this is Dr Jung, if you can hear me, please squeeze my hand," Another voice instructed, placing his large hand in my petite one. Mustering as much strength as I could, I softly squeezed his hand, feeling as though I had just run a marathon from that simple action. "Ms Min-Sun is very weak as of right now. She suffered from a very severe panic attack, which seems to have drained the majority of her energy, hence why she is not able to open her eyes."  The doctor explained. I internally rolled my eyes, the voice in my head scoffing. 

'Yea no shit Sherlock, I think I know that I can't open my eyes because I have no energy. Oh wait, he's not telling this to me-' My thoughts were quickly cut off by another deep, familiar voice speaking. "Do you know when she will wake up?" A soft, more airy voice floated through the air. 'Hyunjinnie?' I whimpered, frowning as I heard the desperation in his voice. 'God I hate making them worry about me. Come on stupid brain, let me fucking wake up already!' My head pounded. 'I need to wake up, for them...' I gasped, channelling all my energy to open my eyes. 

Groaning, I slowly peeled my eyes open, hissing at the bright lights. " It's too bright~" I whined, wincing as my throat was so horse. Immediately, a shadow resembling Changbin ran over to off the lights, his face showing nothing but concern. Finally able to adjust to the brightness of the room thanks to Changbin, I slowly allowed my eyes to fully open. In front of me were none other than the 8 people I had grown so very fond of. "Well Ms Min-Sun, welcome back to the land of the living. It's good to have you back," The doctor laughed, smiling kindly towards me. 

"How long have I been out for?" I asked, thanking Jisung as he handed me a glass of water, sensing my need for hydration. Thanking him softly, I turned all my attention back to the doctor. "Well, you have been asleep for about 10 hours, which is not as long as I expected if I were, to be honest. Your body has clearly been under quite a bit of stress, and whatever happened last was the trigger you needed to cause the panic attack you experienced before passing out. Thankfully your body seems to be doing much better now," He explained before excusing himself to get a nurse to run some final tests. 

"Noona, thank god you're ok!" Jeongin cried out, running over to pull me into a bear hug. Smiling, I sighed contently, snuggling into his shoulder as he hugged me, warmth slowly seeping into my body. "Jeongin-ah! Be gentle with her!" Minho scolded the younger boy, walking over to smooth my hair as Innie pouted, loosening his hug. I cooed, kissing his nose before allowing him to slip out, walking over to the others. 

"Noona, are you sure you're alright?"  Seungmin asked, his warm brown eyes swimming with doubt. Sighing, I slowly stretched out my stiff body. "Don't worry about me, Seungminnie, I feel much better now." I smiled at the others, giggling lightly as they all let out a sigh of relief. "You scared us back there. When we saw you drop to the ground, it felt like all the air left my lungs. I thought you were hurt or something and I-" Chan sighed, blinking rapidly to keep the tears at bay. 

Frowning once more, I cooed, stroking his head as he laughed lightly, hugging me lightly. " I promise you all, I feel fine. I am sorry for worrying you guys so much." Pouting slightly, I blew them a kiss, laughing when they all blushed. "What even happened? One minute you were walking with us fine, and the next, I hear you drop the ground in Changbin-hyung's arms!" Felix asked, sitting on the hospital bed beside my legs, signalling for the others to come closer. 

I took a deep breath, remembering what exactly had occurred before I passed out. "I was fine at first, nothing felt out of the ordinary. But it was like, as soon as I stepped into the elevator with you all, a bad feeling settled in the pit of my stomach-almost as though my body knew something bad was about to happen. It was-" "A gut feeling..." Minho cut me off, stroking my hand. Nodding in agreement, I sighed, biting my lip. 

"That's why you looked so nervous in the elevator," Chan voiced, remembering when he asked if I was alright in the elevator. "Yea, I didn't wanna worry you when you were silently asking me in the elevator, so I shrugged it off. It wasn't until we got to the lobby that I realised why I felt so nervous..." I whimpered, shivering as I remembered those god-awful hazel eyes that pierced my body. "Jagiya, it's alright, you're safe," Jisung cooed, rubbing my back as Changbin ran his hand over my leg soothingly. 

"I saw Jeonghan. I knew it was him the minute I saw his eyes. He looked right at me, almost as though he was trying to taunt me. He was talking to the receptionist. The second he looked at me, I felt as though I was right back in that apartment with him. I felt so hopeless; all those horrible memories came rushing back! It was like he was telling me that no matter where I go he will find me.." I sobbed, biting my lip so hard that I could taste the metallic blood on my tongue. "Yeobo, aigoo~" Hyunjin cooed sympathetically, rushing to coddle me as the other joined in, soothing my aching cries as violent sobs shook my body. 

"I'll kill that sick motherfu-" Chan started, quickly coughing to prevent himself from swearing. A wet giggle left my lips at his little slip-up, smiling when the others smiled, placing a soft kiss on my head and cheeks. "We'll speak with management and security. I'm sure they can check the cameras and find that asshole," Changbin reasonably stated, allowing the others to give their input. "No matter what, that man is not going to go anywhere near you ever again; that's for damn sure. He'll have to go through us first." Minho strongly declared, his glare cold enough to freeze anyone in his line of vision. 

A fresh set of tears lined my eyes as I looked at the men in front of me, so willing and able to protect me at all costs from my physco ex. "Princess, why are you crying?" Seungmin asked, pouting. "I-I'm sorry! It's just... You guys have no idea how much this means to me. The fact that you're all willing to go above and beyond just for me makes me feel-nobody has ever done something like this for me. So thank you all so much," I whimpered, choking up slightly. 

"Aigoo, honey~ No need to cry hunny!" Felix laughed heartily, kissing my red nose and the others cooed, their eyes showing nothing but love and adoration. "Of course, we're gonna take care of you! You're practically family now! We all care about you soooo much~" Jeongin teased, smiling lightly when I laughed, shoving him playfully. 

"Once the doctor gives you the all-clear, we can get the discharge papers in order and then head back home-" "Wait, have none of you been back home yet!?" I asked, shocked when they all nodded guiltily. "You guys! You should be taking care of yourselves!" I scolded, my heart soaring as they all explained how they 'couldn't sleep knowing you were here' and how 'the house wasn't the same' without me there. chuckling, I shooshed them softly, hugging each of them.

  "Thank you boys for caring so much. Once I'm allowed to leave, how about we have a movie marathon with some yummy food? My treat?" I asked, laughing whole-heartedly as they all nodded rapidly, shouting in excitement. Smiling fondly as they discussed dinner plans and what movies to watch, I couldn't help but sink back into my pillows, my heart so fully at the sight in front of me. 'There's honestly no place I would rather be...'
