14.2; Not the desk!

Y/N is awoken by a scream. It's pain-filled, and sounding more like a loud sob than a scream, but there's one unsettling word she can make out through the shredding of someone's vocal cords.
"No!"
She doesn't know who it is, but it's not Jongdae, who comes pounding into her room almost immediately after she awoke, wondering if the loud shrieking was coming from her.
"J-Jongdae, what's happening?"
Jongdae looks solemn, and his features are twisted into a deep frown, eyes crinkling up, and his lashes are dotted with tears. She doesn't know how to react to any of it, so, instead of waiting for an answer, she latches onto his body.
The hug is one sided, and Jongdae's arms stay limp, and she hears him sniffle and feels his body start to wrack with sobs. She doesn't know what happened, but she will not force him to tell her.
If Kim Jongdae is crying, something horrible happened.
But then, she has a thought.
Minseok.
Could he have died? Is he in danger? Her heart rate quickens, and she starts to sweat, tears matching Jongdae's trail down her cheeks, but she can't physically wipe them away, her mind is instead preoccupied with showing nightmarish scenes of Minseok dying brutally because of her.
Snapping out of it at a touch on her shoulder, she realizes the screaming has stopped, but is now replaced by sobs.
Someone else walks in the room. Their eyes are red, like they've been crying, and she doesn't like looking at her friends like this. Through her blurred vision, she recognizes the figure as Zitao.
"S-Stay with Jongdae. Please."
Zitao nods hesitantly and takes a seat on her bed next to Jongdae, sniffling.
She bounds out into the hallway, trying to locate the source of the screams and sobs. When she finally figures it out, she's shocked. It's Joonmyun's room. But that doesn't mean it is Joonmyun, so she runs in quickly, but the sight she's met with isn't the one she was expecting.
Joonmyun is being held down by Chanyeol and Baekhyun, both of them struggling against Joonmyun's strength, and Joonmyun is screaming and sobbing, kicking his feet like a child having a temper tantrum.
The same words fall out of his mouth like a mantra.
"No! No! No! No!"
But once he notices her, they get angrier, and the words change.
"Jessica! Jessica! Jessica! Jessica!"
She walks over, slowly, like trying not to scare a wild animal. In reality, that's exactly what she's doing.
"Y/N, stay back!"
She doesn't. She keeps walking, and Joonmyun keeps thrashing and the Beagle line keep yelling.
She comes closer, and hand reaching out to touch his skin.
She has faith he won't hurt her. This is the same man who apologized ninety times after nearly hitting her head when she woke him up, and the same man who cried for his pack members safety in the kitchen. He won't hurt her.
"Baekhyun, C-Chanyeol. Be quiet. You're riling him up even more."
Baekhyun gawks, and Chanyeol's jaw almost hits the floor.
"You know nothing about him! You have no knowledge of wolves or packs or anything!"
Y/N looks at Chanyeol, smiling.
"He won't hurt me, I know that much."
She makes contact with Joonmyun's skin, and his body stops, and his breath it gets less ragged and his mantra of Jessica's name ceases.
Baekhyun and Chanyeol reluctantly let go, and walk with her.
They go out, and she takes one last look back at Joonmyun.
That, was a bad idea in retrospect.
Joonmyun leaps up, eyes cold and menacing, baring his canines loudly, and she screams, ducking behind the desk, and belatedly realizes the door is still open.
Joonmyun leaps over his desk, tackling her to the floor. He's on top of her, and he's panting, hair grown thicker, and sharp claws dig into her wrists, making her howl in pain.
She hears footsteps running in here, but they can't see her behind the desk. She assumes they can hear Joonmyun's wild pants, which is relieving.
Joonmyun turns behind him, looking at Yifan, perched on the desk, and growls.
Yifan mimicks this, and the whole thing would be really funny if her life wasn't on the line right now.
Deciding Yifan is more interesting than her, Joonmyun gets off her slowly, grabbing her neck and surprisingly throwing her onto the floor on the other side of the desk, smashing her back against the wood flooring. She tries to stand, but falls back down immediately, so she just lays there, whimpering.
Yifan and Joonmyun have since started fighting, but Yifan is stronger. Joonmyun goes up for the final blow, but Yifan blocks it. At this point, someone is going to end up badly injured, or worse, dead.
They need Minseok and Jessica, so she can't have that.
She starts crawling over to the fight, ignoring the searing pain in her wrists, and just as she gets over there, Yifan is about to dig a claw into Joonmyun's stomach, but he's not aimed just anywhere. His claw is aimed right at the heart.
She just manages to throw herself on top of Joonmyun in time, the claw puncturing her skin, leaving a long trail along her stomach and pool of blood in it's wake.
"Y-Y/N?"
His voice is somewhere far off, and belatedly she realizes this hurts a lot more than it should've. Damn wolves and their weird body weapons.
"Y-Yifan, hey. D-D-Don't hurt him."
Joonmyun has stilled, and Yifan picks her up, moving her over to the side.
He yells loudly for someone, but it just sounds like mush.
He then grabs Joonmyun's collar, and yanks him up, and she holds out her hand in his field of vision.
"S-Stop! Look at h-him!"
Joonmyun's face is back to normal, and tears stream down his face, eyes trained on hers.
"J-Joon-" she stops to cough, but her elbow comes back a thick coat of red.
"Shhh!" She's shushed by Yifan, and then he yells again for someone, and sounds angry.
"It's o-okay, Joonmyun. R-Really!"
She tries to smile, but then she begins to cough again, and finally someone else enters the room.
She's picked up gingerly, and brought to the couch downstairs, and laid there. People's faces swarm her vision, most of which have tears in their eyes, and she wants to reach up and wipe them away, so she does.
It's Jongin's face above hers first, so her hand shakily reaches up and wipes away the tears with the pad of her thumb, smiling up at him the best she can with all the pain she's feeling.
His hand meets hers, keeping it planted on his cheek, and this somehow frees her mouth, because now she's smiling from ear to ear. He smiles back shakily, and lets go, leaving her hand to drop onto the leather of the couch.
Luhan leans over her mouthing words she can't hear, but it looks a lot like a warning, so she braces her body as best she can for whatever is going to happen to her. She hopes it won't hurt, but she doubts it can get any worse than this.
She feels bandages tense around her chest, and it hurts ag. It feels like she's getting stabbed a million times.
Someone seems to notice her hand clawing desperately at leather, and latches their onto it. She squeezes automatically, and she hears what she thinks is a noise of pain and she wants to get up and slap them because if what she's doing to their hand is pain she doesn't even know what to call what she's feeling.
Upon investigation, the hand belongs to Kyungsoo, and she feels bad for him, because she knows Baekhyun will never let this go afterwards because Baekhyun chooses the things he'd like to remember, and she has a feeling this'll be one of the things his memory latches onto.
She tries to let go, to let his hand breathe, but another forceful amount of pain smashes into her, and she grasps for it again. Just now, she notices tears sliding down her cheeks, and she looks up to see people have gone, crowding around someone else.
"Y/N! Y/N!"
Someone is screaming her name, but she can't figure out who. Someone's raking a hand through her hair, and she has to fight them to sit up. It's a member of Super Junior, who's name she can barely remember.
She tries to sit up, but as soon as she tries, hands are gently pulling her back down to her previous spot, and it takes a few tries for whoever is stopping her to realize she's not going to be stopping anytime soon, and they finally let her go.
Her eyes wander to find that people are crowded around someone on the floor, and they're yelling and she's just realizing how loud it is in here.
"Y/N, go."
It's someone else from Super Junior. Heechul, was it? She can't remember, but despite the pain that echoes through her at the actions, and she shoves right past him. This seems to shock him, and sends him sprawling onto the floor despite the fact she didn't shove that hard. He just smirks from the floor, like she didn't just send him to it. She doesn't know what kind of masochist he is but frankly, she doesn't even want to take the time to find out.
She doesn't turn back, because he'll be fine but at this point she doesn't know who's on the floor and if they will be also.
After forcing her way through the crowd, she sees Joonmyun, pulling this hair and clothing and other peoples hands on the floor. People are trying to cage them down, but he's pulling out every time.
She pushes through further, grasping people's shoulders and arms, pulling them somewhere behind her. She feels people struggle against her, but she pays them no mind, and continues pulling her way through the crowd formed on the floor.
"J-Joonmyun."
Her voice is soft, reaching out for him.
He shrinks away, like she's diseased.
"No! N-No!"
She jumps at his sudden yell, landing back into someone.
She reaches out again, a test to see how he responds. She's hesitant, and his large eyes read her like a book. He doesn't stop her this time, instead leaning forward into her hand.
She makes contact with his head, hand caressing Joonmyun's hair.
She does this until he's pulled away harshly, hand ripped away.
"Y/N, are you crazy?! He could still hurt you!"
She laughs right in Yifan's face, and with newfound strength, rips away from him. It hurts, a lot, but she shields it as best she can, and smiles at all the people looking at her with shock, and even smiles at a smug Heechul on the floor.
"We're finished here."
She smiles, and shoos everyone away from her and Joonmyun, and a few stragglers still stay, but she couldn't be bothered taking more time to get them out too.
She focuses on Joonmyun, laying on the floor, and she tried to touch him, but he pulls away again. His eyes are large and filled with tears, reminding her of a small child.
"Why won't you let me t-touch you?"
His eyes stray from hers, finding residence pointed towards the floor.
"I don't wa-want to hurt you anymore."
Her eyes well up as well, and she thinks she hears a sniffle of one of the stragglers behind her. It's probably Baekhyun.
"You won't, I promise."
Joonmyun's lips tremble, and Y/N's probably match.
"H-How do you know?"
Her smile betrays the tears lining her eyes, refusing to escape.
"Suho, I-I just k-"
"D-Don't! Don't call me that! Call me Joonmyun, please."
She blinks, nodding.
"Y-Yes, of course!"
Joonmyun stands on wobbly legs, asking for time to himself, barely making it to his study before collapsing.
She wants to also.
Baekhyun walks up to her, waving a hand in front of her face, asking her if she's awake. She nods sluggishly, like she's asleep, and she wishes she was. A feeling of drowsiness hits her, and she feels like falling.
She falls backwards, and feels her head hit the floor, followed by a loud expletive, sounding like it's coming from Baekhyun, but then again, who else would it come from?
