[ENGLISH VERSION] SEVENTEEN: Code One | SeokSoo

Chapter 5

Joshua suddenly woke up in the midnight in his room, still in the hospital. Joshua's eyes opened slowly because of the drowsiness that still hit him. When they were fully open, his eyes widened when he saw the figure in front of him.

A blush spread across Joshua's cheeks to his ears. Dokyeom's handsome face, sharp nose, and firm jawline became a beautiful sight after he opened his eyes for a moment.

After enjoying the beauty of Dokyeom's handsome face for a while, Joshua felt thirsty. He had been unconscious for half a day, that's why he felt thirsty. Joshua got up slowly so as not to wake Dokyeom who was sleeping beside him.

Joshua's lips made a small grimace because he forgot that almost his entire body was badly injured. Joshua tried to get out of bed slowly while enduring the pain in his body.

"Joshua?" someone called from behind the curtain of his bed.

Joshua immediately found Mingyu's figure behind the curtain, it turned out that Mingyu happened to be in the empty bed next to Joshua.

"What do you want to do?" Mingyu asked.

"I'm thirsty. I want to drink water from that glass." Joshua said while pointing to the glass of water on the table in front of his bed.

"Then, just sit there. I'll get it for you." Mingyu said.

Joshua grabbed his glass from Mingyu and took a slow sip. Then he returned the glass to Mingyu and put it on the table.

"Are you hungry? Do you want me to buy you some food?" Mingyu said.

Joshua shook his head, "I'm not hungry, Gyu. Thank you." he said.

Mingyu nodded, "How is your physical condition? Are you still feel sick?" he said.

"A little better than before. The doctors at this hospital must be very good. Moreover, it seems like I'm in the VVIP ward. Who paid for my treatment? Cheol? Or Junhui? It must be very expensive."

Mingyu chuckled, "It wasn't your teacher who paid for it, but Dokyeom who paid for all of this." he said.

Joshua immediately glared in disbelief, "Dokyeom?!" he said.

"He was the one who found you first when you were lying covered in blood in the toilet. Then he contacted Jun-ge to call an ambulance and take you to the hospital. Meanwhile, he and I took revenge on the bastard who hurt you."

"Ahahaha... I was so careless. I should have asked to be accompanied to the bathroom. I didn't know it would end up like this."

"Ah, yes. But how could you be beaten like that? Do you remember who wanted to beat you up at that time?"

"The one who beat me?"

"I know this has traumatized you, you don't need to say it now if you can't remember."

"Ahh... That... There were about five people at first, when I came out of the toilet... Then... A man came out from the next stall, his name was... Kim... Tae... Kim Taehyung."

"Our assumption was right. We already beat him up, just like what he did to you."

"What?! But there was still one more person."

"What? Who is he?"

"She... A woman... Her pheromone scent is quite strange... Not like the usual omega..."

Joshua's memory of remembering Kook Jihyun suddenly faded, as if he couldn't remember Jihyun's face at all. Indeed, at that time someone hit Joshua's head against the wall, that's why Joshua immediately fainted. Even then, Joshua didn't have time to see Kook Jihyun's name tag.
