Insomnia [Stray Kids FF]

ㄴChapter 7ㄱ

"soooo, my favorite group is called Stray Kids!"

Like this she starts telling you a lot about Kpop and of course mostly about Stray Kids. You can remember that they have eight group members and they sing, rap, dance and produce. But you can't remember anything else, since Jieun didn't stop to talk and your brain was overwhelmed with information.

Soon the both of you finish eating and walk out of the dining room. You were happy that you don't need to walk the menacing hallway alone and she was with you. But still you can hear a mean laugh from somewhere. You fast grip her arm and hold it tight.

"Y/n? Are you alright?", she asks worried.

"The laughing is back!", you say traumatized.

"Okay, whatever it is, calm down. I'm here with you.", she tries to help you.

You grip her arm tighter and slowly make a step.

"Y/n, which one is your room? I'll bring you there."

You point at your door and Jieun accompanies you, until you sit safe on your bed.

"Thank you so much! You saved me from another break down!"

"Let's talk about it tomorrow, you can explain me everything if you want to.", she smiles at you, "but for now you need to rest."

"Yeah sure, let's talk tomorrow!", you smile back at her.

"I'm going now to my room and on my way I'll tell a doctor, then they can look for you."

"Okay thank you! Good night!"

"No problem. Good night!"

As she arrives at the door you call after her: "I'm going to google Stray Kids before I sleep!"

"Hahaha, I'm going to control it tomorrow!", she amuses herself and leaves the room.

A few seconds later doctor Williams arrives. He checks up on you and some health functions. After that he documents everything and leaves with the words: "Good night! Don't sleep too late, you need to rest!"

You stand up and search for your phone in the room. Soon you find it on your nightstand where Jieun probably placed it. You fast make your way to your bathroom and make yourself ready for bed.

As you lay in bed and can't sleep, like every night, you remember that you wanted to google Stray Kids. So that's what you did. Eight handsome Korean men pop up on your screen. Their names are: Jeongin, Seungmin, Felix, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Minho and Chan. Jeongin is the 'maknae' of the group and with that the youngest. On the other side is Chan the oldest and as well the leader. That's in any case what google said...

Sympathizing the boys and their appearance you look up Stray Kids on YouTube Music and find an account with an amount of followers.

"Their work must be really amazing.", you say to yourself and start to click and hear through some songs.

Impressed by their works and singing skills you find a song called 'Insomnia'. Liking the name you click on it and feel directly picked up by the lyrics. Not realizing anything you slowly drift away into dreamland for the first time in months.

The next morning you wake up from a great sleep and feel a little bit more powerful.

*knock*

"Yeah!", you answer as you hear a knock from the door.

"Good Morning my friend!", Jieun storms in.

"Good Morning to my friend too!", you say half asleep.

"What! You're not even ready for breakfast?", she asks obviously shocked.

"I forgot to set an alarm yesterday, since I fell asleep while looking up Stray Kids..."

"Woah, was it that boring? I really thought you could like it.", she says irritated.

"No no no, it's the complete opposite. I like this group really a lot and I heard some music. While listening I fell asleep..."

"Yay!", she indicates a little jump, "then let's talk about them while we eat breakfast. Or did you get enough from me by yesterday?"

She obviously asks because you're not reacting.

"Jieun, calm down. I'm just not a morning person!", you laugh lightly.

"Hey! That's not funny! I thought you would leave me now, just like the others did.", she looks down in front of her.

"No I wouldn't.", you reassure her and she immediately gets a good mood again.

She walks up next to your bed and pulls the duvet away from you: "Then you need to dress up, we're leaving in three minutes!"

"Hey! You're meeeeaaan!", you half scream-laugh, but still stand up and go to the bathroom to make yourself ready.

As both of you arrive in the dining room for breakfast a big crowd of people is there.

"Wooaah, so many people?", you ask unbelieving.

"Yeah, that's your fold!", Jieun states.

"Why?!"

"Because you slept until Rushhour!", she grinned.

"Well, fine, I promise to set my alarm for tomorrow sooner!"

"Perfect! And if that's not the case... I'm going to get a cold bucket of water and believe me, I'm not going easy on you!", she threatens you.

"I'll definitely will set my alarm three hours sooner! Then I won't have the risk to die!", you respond as if you were scared.

While eating both of you talk about the reasons why you're here. You explain everything about your past weeks and your insomnia, that leads to imagining these creepy voices. After that Jieun explains you her situation. She has a fear of loosing people since a lot of people distanced themselves towards her. That's what you already thought after the situation this morning.

In the next week the doctors give their best to get your condition more and more stable from day to day. You have a lot appointments mostly with doctor Kim, she will ask you questions about your life and one day you even told her about the suicide thoughts, that you had when you were younger. Since then the treatment is different, the doctors try to figure out if you are still at a risk.
Jieun and you also become best friends and she tells you everything about Stray Kids. In the meantime, you can claim of yourself as a Stay and follow their every movement over social media.

"Y/n. You seem like something good happens to you at the moment, tell me!", doctor Kim detects.

"Too be honest... I found through Jieun a boy group from South Korea called 'Stray Kids' and I like their music and personalities a lot."

"I can see that you like them a lot, your behavior changed the last days.", she takes a breath, "too be honest with you, I don't think it's good for your health. You should stop with it."
