33: Hospital Visit Vulnerablity

[Skye]

"Is he.. actually awake?" I heard Jeongin ask from beside me, he was holding my hand because he needed the emotional support right now.

We all cared so much about Hyunjin, and it was hard sitting here watching him lay almost completely still in the hospital bed.

All of the kids were there, and all of us were a little worried even though the doctors had said he would be okay.

He just seemed so weak where he laid.

Hyunjin had tried to communicate with us a couple of times, but because of his state he wasn't able to get anything else than noises out.

And now it seemed like he was trying again, which made all of us look his way, Jisung drawing closer to make sure he knew someone was by his side.

He took Hyunjin's hand into his own, and all of us tried to listen to see if we could make out any words this time.

"Nngh." He grunted, looking at us through half-open eyes. "Hnn.. Haa.."

To me, it sounded like he was trying to say hi to us, and he flopped one of his arms a bit to make it look like a wave before he kind of tried to turn to Jisung.

Hyunjin reached out with that same hand to put it on Jisung's shoulder.

"Mm." He hummed, trying to lead Jisung closer to himself.

It seemed like Jisung got the message, leaning down to let Hyunjin hug him.

"Hi, Jinnie.. I hope you're not feeling too bad. The doctors said you don't have any internal damage from the fall, but they still need to maintain the wound and make sure you're able to get back to speaking and moving again before you can go home."

Hyunjin bobbed his head up and down a little, expressing that he understood.

"And once you get to go home, Minho-hyung's going to stay with you for a few days to keep you company. The doctor said it was for the best just in case anything happens, but I'll make sure hyung doesn't bother you too much while he's there~ If you need some time to yourself, I'll keep him entertained somehow."

Hyunjin's face formed a half smile, and he let out an amused noise, glancing over at Minho over Jisung's shoulder.

Jisung had sat down on the edge of the hospital bed as he figured Hyunjin might like him to stay close, and once Hyunjin let him out of his embrace Jisung sat there running his fingers through the tall man's hair.

"We're gonna stay with you as much as possible while you're still here, though. Right, everyone?"

Jisung looked over at us, and as far as I could see, everyone nodded.

"I just hope you get to start talking to us again soon.. it feels strange that you're not able to reply or talk to us, Hyunjinnie. But I know it's not your fault, so we'll do our best to communicate with you anyway." I sent him a small smile to hopefully encourage him, although I knew this was probably not fun for him either.

"Yeah, we all want you to get better as soon as possible. In the meantime, do you want us to give you some life updates? We all know you like knowing everything about everyone~" Changbin smiled smugly, and we all laughed along softly as Hyunjin sort of giggled at Changbin's little tease.

He nodded his head, albeit a bit wobbly, then leant into Jisung's careful touch.

"Who wants to start?" Chris asked, leading the group as usual.

"I can start." I said, seeing as I felt like I had a bit of stuff to share.

Everyone looked at me in anticipation, and I felt my smile growing as I was excited.
