Family? (Stray Kids OT8 x Reader)

||42||

The fear that was once growing in the group of ten immediately disappeared as they saw four familiar faces rushing toward them. Yeonjun breathed out a loud sigh as he chuckled, "It's just you guys."

In walked in the four hybrids; Soobin, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Huening Kai. The four quickly untied the group of ten, their actions extremely swift and efficient. In a matter of seconds, everyone was released, and in the moment the tension that was once in the room faded away. Most of them all got up to stand and stretch, slowly recovering from the ordeal of being tied up, while Y/N, Minho, and Chan stood around Jisung, helping him up.

"And so we meet again," Beomgyu smirked, looking at Y/N as she smiled back.

"And so we do. But I wish the circumstances had changed," she chuckled slightly while holding onto Jisung.

"What happened to him?" Huening Kai asked as he looked at Jisung, his brows furrowed in confusion and pity as he saw the pained state the older boy was in.

"My father happened," Yeonjun replied, walking closer to Jisung, "we'll take him to my house, I have all of the needed medications, prescriptions and materials for him to get better."

"You can let go of him, Chan and I can hold him," Minho spoke, his gaze soft as he looked at Y/N then back to Jisung.

"It's fine. I can help," she responded, trying to hold onto Jisung but was stopped by Chan.

"Minho's right. You just found out... um... just, go talk to the rest of them. Relax and calm down," Chan said, smiling at Y/N as she reluctantly turned back and joined Changbin, Felix, Jeongin, Seungmin and Hyunjin.

The group slowly walked to the car and sat Jisung down in the car, with Minho and Chan in the back. The rest all turned to look at Yeonjun and his hybrids. "So, how are you guys going to go back home?" Felix asked. Taehyun shrugged his shoulders, "We just ran here. We can run back."

"But what about me?" Yeonjun said, raising his eyebrows.

"We didn't think about that..." Kai mumbled, scratching the back of his head.

"I told you we should've taken the car, but no, Beomgyu and Taehyun decided it was heroic if they ran all the way here," Soobin spoke, glaring at Beomgyu and Taehyun.

"Well we did save them right? And besides, if we took the car, we would've been stuck in traffic and shit," Beomgyu replied, rolling his eyes.

Changbin watched as the group fought with each other and chuckled, "If it's okay with the rest, I'd say the remaining of us should just run over to Yeonjun's house and Yeonjun should just get in the car with Y/N."

Seungmin nodded his head in response, "I'm fine with that. It's been a long time since I've had a good run."

Hyunjin groaned in annoyance as he pouted his lips, "But that means I'll be all sweaty and gross when I turn back. I sweat a lot. Felix, back me up here."

Felix smiled lightly as he looked at Hyunjin, "Sweat is good and it keeps you healthy. Besides, I'm sure Yeonjun will have at least one towel lying around in his house and I'm sure he would let you have it."

Hyunjin rolled his eyes and nodded reluctantly while the rest looked at Jeongin, waiting for his answer. Jeongin just stared at the floor, seemingly lost in his thoughts, but he was brought back to reality as Seungmin gently shook him. "What?" Jeongin questioned as he noticed everyone staring at him.

"Are you okay?" Y/N asked as she realised that there was something obviously bothering Jeongin.

"I'm perfect. I always am. And, about that run, sure, I'll come with," Jeongin spoke a little fast, trying to hide his thoughts and problems he was currently facing.

"Alright, so it's settled," Soobin said, smiling at the rest of the hybrids, "we're going to have so much fun!"

"They won't because they're going to be stuck with you," Beomgyu smirked at Soobin who just glared at him in response.

"Bye Yeonjun, bye Y/N!" Kai smiled brightly as he waved goodbye to the two who got into the car.

"Bye Y/N," Taehyun spoke simultaneously with Beomgyu.

"What, no goodbye for me?" Yeonjun asked, a small teasing smile on his face.

"Nope," Soobin chuckled slightly as he waved goodbye to everyone that was in the car.

The remaining nine all waved goodbye, and soon, the car was out of their sights. Soobin turned to look at the five from the other household, "Do you guys need privacy?"

Changbin, Seungmin, Jeongin, Felix and Hyunjin looked at each other in confusion. Hyunjin chuckled slightly, breaking the silence, "Privacy? For what?"

"For turning. Are you embarrassed to turn into your animals?" Kai asked, the smile still plastered on his face.

"Oh... I thought we were going to be running as humans," Jeongin said, biting his lip nervously.

"We could do that," Taehyun started, "but we might get more tired. It's up to you guys in the end though."

Changbin looked at the rest and moved his eyebrows like he was asking them 'Human form or animal form?' Hyunjin muttered a low 'human' as the rest nodded their heads in agreement with him.

"There's no need to be scared of us, we're just like you," Beomgyu spoke, looking at the five with a small grin.

"If it's okay with you guys, we would all like to remain in our human forms," Seungmin mumbled, a little shy.

"That's completely fine! Let's go now, they're probably almost there. We have to beat them!" Kai spoke as he started running ahead with Soobin and the rest closely running behind.

In the car, no one dared to talk. Yeonjun and Y/N would look in the rear-view mirror every few minutes to see how Jisung was doing, while Minho and Chan would never take their eyes off of Jisung. Whenever the car would go over a small bump, Jisung would groan in pain, causing everyone to look at Jisung in concern.

"I'll be fine," Jisung whimpered slightly as he closed his eyes.

"Don't close your eyes," Yeonjun said in an authoritative tone as he turned his head to look at Jisung, who opened his eyes weakly.

"I'm tired," Jisung mumbled, struggling to keep his eyes open.

"Listen to Yeonjun, he knows what's best for you," Minho spoke, softly looking at Jisung who just nodded.

"Don't lose consciousness, okay?" Chan mumbled worriedly, as he ran his hand through his hair in frustration.

"I... won't..." Jisung mumbled, his eyes twitching every few seconds.

"A few more minutes Jisung," Y/N spoke as she accelerated even faster, "hang on there."

Silence. No response.

"Jisung?" she asked once again, causing everyone to look at him.

Jisung's eyes were closed, and his chest was slowly heaving up and down. His head was slouched back into the seat and was resting on Chan's shoulder. His breathing was loud and it was shallower with every breath he took. As Minho checked to feel his pulse he gasped in surprise, "I can barely feel his pulse."

"And his breathing... it's... slowing down," Chan mumbled in shock as he held onto the younger boy's hand.

"Shit. We're losing him."
