C H A P T E R 30 : What's best for us

-----Jaemin-----

There was a pounding in my head when I woke up. The bright lights on the ceiling weren't helping, not at all. I winced in reaction to it and only after some time I was able to fully open my eyes.

I wanted to call out to Mark-Hyung, or Jeno, or Donghyuck, but my throat felt so dry I didn't want to even try opening it.

When I began to try to sit up, someone came rushing to my side.

"Hey, hey, Jaem, take it easy," my brother says to me in panic.

I roll my eyes. My head hurt more due to the action. "Relax," I try to say but my voice paused halfway. Jaehyun-Hyung was already pushing a cup of water into my hands. As I drank it, as my throat became hydrated again, I realized what was going on. "W- Where." I clear my throat in frustration. "Where are they?" I ask in panic.

Jaehyun-Hyung sighs in disappointment, "You should worry about yourself right now," I hear him mutter before looking up at me. "There's nothing to worry about. The other car hit you guys just enough to have any impact but since you weren't paying attention, your head hit the window and you fainted. As for those three, they got a few scratches from one of the windows breaking but they're fine. They're just examining them to check if there's any internal damage."

"You, on the other hand, definitely have a concussion." He glares at me.

"What about the driver? What happened with him?"

His eyes instantly filled with rage. He scoffs, looking away from me. "That coward ran off. The guys got a good look at him so the police are out looking for him."

I lean my head back, the tension in my shoulders decreasing. "Where's mom?"

"Settling the bill."

"Thanks for being here, Hyung," I tell him, turning my head to smile at him gratefully.

His eyes soften. "I'll always be here for you," he replies, pulling me into his arms.

I sigh, content to be in my brother's arms.

-----Jeno-----

"Follow the light," the doctor says.

I do as she says, feeling a little awkward because of the silence that envelops the room.

"Okay, you're all set," Dr. Oh says with a smile as she turns the light off. "You can go ahead to the waiting room and wait for your results. You could also go to your friend's room if you'd like, I heard he has woken up."

"Thank you." I get out of the chair I had been sitting on before walking out of the room.

I lean on the wall beside the door, my head tilted back. This was all my fault.

"Lee Jeno!" I turn at the sound of my name.

Donghyuck stood there, smiling softly. He takes a short second before making his way over to me, instantly hugging me tight. There was a bandaid on his cheekbone and one on his neck, right next to one of the bruises I had made the previous night.
