You Never Walk Alone [1st Draft Ver.]

Chapter 40: Escape? (2)

The next day, the seven boys were discharged from the hospital and were allowed to go home, but it was clear that none of them were too fond of the idea of leaving the safety of their hospital room.

"A-are t-they s-sure t-they d-don't w-want t-to k-keep u-us h-here f-for a-a l-little w-while m-more? F-for o-observations...J-just in case...?" Hoseok spoke, trying to convince the adults into letting them stay at the hospital for longer.

"Yes, Hobi, they are sure that they want you all out of the hospital so that you all can carry on with your lives." Da-hee replied.

"N-no, b-but a-are t-they s-sure, s-sure? L-like a-a 150% s-sure?" Yoongi asked.

"Yes, yes, they are, now quickly, all of you, get up, we have to get home." Ae-cha said.

The boys sighed and slowly got out of their hospital beds, walking up to the door and standing there in a line.

"We're not in school, boys, you can relax." Da-hee chuckled as she saw them standing in a line, height-wise, hands tied behind their backs and all.

There was no reply as the seven boys were zoned out, Ae-cha quickly grabbed her car's keys and gestured for the rest to follow her as she began walking through the hallways of the hospital to exit.

When they reached the car, the boys tried to protest silently, not letting the two women help them to get into the car, trying to get in by themselves in an attempt to slightly injure themselves so that they could stay in the hospital longer, because to them, the hospital was safer than the mansion.

"Boys. Come on, don't be difficult, just get into the car so we can get going." Da-hee spoke.

"Y-yes w-wait a-a m-minute A-aunt H-hee, w-we j-just h-have t-to-"

"Let me help me out." Ae-cha offered, quickly helping the kids climb into the car, despite their protests.

Then, Ae-cha got into the driver's seat and Da-hee got into the passenger's seat, and then they began driving off.

"Why did you guys want to stay at the hospital?" Da-hee asked, turning around to face her nephews.

"D-don't w-want t-to g-go b-back t-there...H-hospital...s-safer..." Jungkook stuttered out.

"Oh you're not going there." Da-hee replied, "You're coming along to my house, did I not tell you that?"

The boys shook their heads.

"I'm so sorry! I must've forgot! But don't worry about the mansion, you're never going there again, you'll be living in my house." Da-hee informed.

There were slightly relieved expressions on the boys' face as they processed the information, Da-hee thought they would say something, but they stayed silent.

The two women didn't mind their silence, though, because they knew they'd been through so much, so they let the boys enjoy their silence.

-

"Boys, come on, wake up, we're here!" Ae-cha shook the boys awake, the seven boys still did not even move.

"Eonnie, they're not waking up!" Ae-cha told her older cousin.

"Maybe, they can wake them up?" Da-hee spoke gesturing to the four Byun's, who were standing outside of the house, waiting to welcome their friends.

"Yeah, bring them here, let's see if that works." Ae-cha nodded.

"Boys! Can you lend us a helping hand here?" Da-hee called out.

The Byun's immediately came running towards them.
