Monday morning:
Jisung's POV:

Jisung woke up at 6am. Deciding to take a shower, he got up out of bed. But as soon as he stood up, he remembered what had happened yesterday. Jisung crumpled to the ground and began sobbing all over again. Jisung felt helpless. Every dream he had brought more and more pieces of his memory back but it never seemed to give him enough. Not only that but every dream he had about the incident, it felt like he was losing her all over again. The dreams seemed so real. With all of the emotions and memories rushing back, Jisung's world went black. He was transported back to the dream again. His sister's murder. She was 15, he was 13. He remembered everything but the 2 assailants' faces, which were just a blob of shadows in his memory. He remembered that on that day, his parents had asked his sister to pick up groceries from the store. She had asked Jisung to come along too. They were inseparable before her death, so it was only natural for Jisung to accept. He was able to remember their walk to the store. Halfway there, she started looking back over her shoulder and kept encouraging Jisung to walk faster. However, the 2 attackers shot her before they made it to the store. Jisung remembered hearing the gunshots, they were almost deafening. He remembered the way that her blood poured out of her wounds. The scariest of all, he remembered the look of pure fear in her eyes as she looked at her murderers. Then he remembered how terrifying her face looked as she died. He then was running as fast as he could home. Running to his parents and telling them about what had happened. He remembered the usual look of confusion and annoyance on their faces until they realised what Jisung was saying, and how their faces contorted into looks of panic, worry and dread as they finally realised that this meant that their daughter was dead. He just wished he could remember her murderers faces, at least then he could try to get justice for her.

Coming back to reality, Jisung felt Minho under him, his head was on Minho's chest. Minho was gently playing with his hair. Jisung sat up. "Baby, please lay back down. You fainted. You were out for nearly 20 minutes, I was so close to taking you to the hospital, I was so worried. Please lay back down, I don't want you fainting again." Minho softly pleaded. Jisung nodded, laying his head back on Minho's chest. "How much longer do we have until we have to get ready?" Jisung questioned. "For what baby?" Minho replied. "For school. It is Monday right" Jisung asked. "Yes, it is Monday. But you aren't going to school Sungie. In fact, you aren't going anywhere today, you are gonna stay in this bed and rest. I can stay with you or I can call Felix to come over, if you would prefer. Either way, school's not happening today baby." Minho stated. "Ok, well then I want you to stay with me" Jisung mumbled. Jisung knew he should tell Minho that they both had to go to school but Jisung barely had the energy to move, let alone be at school for 8 hours. So Jisung just complied. "Are you hungry baby?" Minho asked getting out of bed and standing up. Jisung caught his wrist, "No, please don't go Minho" Jisung begged. "Baby, even if you don't want food, I still need to get you a glass of water, it'll only take a minute. I promise." Minho replied, kissing Jisung's forehead. Jisung hesitantly nodded and let go of Minho.

Minho left the room and not long later, re-entered this time with a glass in hand, as promised. Minho helped Jisung sit up a little bit, so he could drink. He then put the glass down on the nightstand and got back into Jisung's bed. Instantly Jisung laid his head on his chest and cuddled up to him. "So do you want to talk about it, baby? It's completely fine if not." Minho assured. "Yeah... I want to tell you about it." Jisung said. "So, like I said before, my sister was murdered when I was 13, she was 15. I didn't remember a lot about it up until last week. The nightmares started on Monday. You had pointed out that I looked tired that day, truth is that I hadn't slept much that day, or this week really... I didn't remember a lot about the dream that Monday, but I have had dreams about the incident almost every day this week. Each time I dream about it, it's like another little memory gets unlocked." Jisung then continued to give Minho each detail of what he remembered about the incident. "So yeah... That's about it." Jisung said. "Sungie, no wonder why u fainted earlier, your body is probably exhausted, mentally and physically... Have you thought about a therapist? Maybe they would be able to help you get through your sister's murder." Minho suggested. "I have considered it, but you know how I am with new people. It would take me months to start opening myself up to them. I don't think they would be much help..." Jisung explained. "Hmm, I guess so. Do you want to try sleeping now Sungie? Your body probably needs it." Minho asked. "I know I need it but I'm scared... Hopefully, now that I'm not alone it won't be that bad." Jisung admitted. "I'll be here when you wake up baby," Minho assured, smiling at him.

Jisung woke up around 1pm. "Morning Sung," Minho said chuckling. "What time is it?" Jisung questioned. "Just after 1pm. Are you hungry? Want me to make you lunch?" Minho replied. "Nah. I like my kitchen clean and my house not burned down, but thanks anyways baby." Jisung said with a smirk. "Woah, I'm perfectly capable of making a sandwich but fine, let's order takeout then? You need to eat Sungie," Minho stated. "Mhm, I suppose so. Can we have fried chicken?" Jisung pleaded. "Yes, of course, anything for you my darling." Minho chuckled, as Jisung hid his face in Minho's chest. "How do you still get so flustered? Aren't you used to it yet?" Minho asked. "Because you say things like that when I'm least expecting it" Jisung replied. "Ok well anyway, your phone was blowing up around lunch, if I had to guess, I'd say it was mostly Felix. Do you want your phone?" Minho said. "Yes please." Sighed Jisung. Minho passed Jisung his phone.
