An Idol's Misery - Wen Junhui fanfiction

13

Jun sprinted around to the side of the car and opened the door, attempting to pick me up but I stopped him.

'No. I can walk on my own.' He stepped aside and let me out and I stepped closer to the front door.

I strode straight past the receptionist at the entrance, remembering the room and wing from when doctor Baekhyun took me there.

The boys followed past in suit and asked no questions. I still had tears in my eyes and I wasn't aware that I had been gripping Jun's hand tightly. 

We reached the door and without glancing in once, I opened the door to see a sight that I wasn't ready for.

Kate wasn't in the bed, instead, an elderly man lied in her spot, eating his lunch frailly. I ran out of the room with the boys behind me as I closed the door quickly, setting my back against it.

'Are you sure that was the right room, Naeyeon?' I could just make out a worried Jisoo.

'Yes, Jisoo. I'm absolutely, positively sure this was it. Number 384, East wing.' Vernon popped in with a suggestion;

'What if she got moved? Maybe we could ask the receptionist where she is now?' I nodded, not wanting to say much more.

'Here, let me help you up.' Mingyu put his hands out and I grabbed them, trying to get up and twisting my ankle in the process.

'You're not walking there. C'mere.' Jun's arms wrap around me once again and my feet leave the floor as he carries me bridal-style.

'How can I help you all?'

Jeonghan answers her. 'We're looking for Kate's room.'

'Last name?'

I look down at her and reply quickly. 'Kate Hathaway, she's foreign.' She looks down and types the name into her computer. Eventually, something pops up.

'I'm sorry, but there is no one with that name in our datab--'

'Naeyeon?' Everyone spins around to look at the familiar voice calling me.

'Hello, Doctor Baekhyun. I'm back to see Kate. These are my friends.' He bows quickly and the boys bow in response, Jun only bowing with his head, so he doesn't drop me.

'We moved Kate into another room because... well, I think you should see this.' We followed Doctor Baekhyun into a different ward and he stood before a door identical to Kate's old one, only with a different number above it. He opened it and gestured for me to go in.

'Jun, I'm worried about her.' I exclaimed, looking up at him.

'Don't be, I'm sure she's okay.'

We all stepped in and before me sat Kate, conscious and eating lunch.

'Naeyeon!! You came! The Doctor said you would!' She smiled beautifully, just the way I remembered it. I moved closer until I could see the beautiful jade green irises her eyes held. As Jun set me down on her bed, I wrapped my arms tightly around her and my eyes began to water.

'Kate, I was so worried about you. I didn't know if you were ever going to wake up.'

'Well, I wasn't going to let myself die so young. I mean, we only just graduated and I missed you!' I moved my arms from her neck and she squeaked quietly.

'Oh sorry! I touched your shoulder, didn't I?' She nodded slightly.

'Yeah, but I'm okay.' She grinned strongly. 'Who's this? You got a boyfriend?! OMG why didn't you tell me?!' I looked down at my hands to see that I was so worried about seeing her, that I'd unconsciously kept hold of Jun's hand and dragged him with me. I let go of his hand quickly.

'No no no... we're not... I was just nervous about seeing you...He's Jun.'

'Ah, okay... So, why are there 12 other boys here too?'

'They auditioned with me today and Jun is also a member of their group.'

'Wow! Cool. So, how did you do? You look really pretty.' Glancing down, I realised that I was still wearing my dress and makeup.

'Yeah, it was okay, I guess.'

Jun pipes in. 'Are you kidding? You did great!' The boys come come forward and agree.

'Yeah, you were amazing Naeyeon!'

'Yeah!'

'I'm glad to hear it. I don't have a doubt in my mind that you'll get in.' She grinned. Putting in a comment randomly, Seungcheol stepped closer.

'I'm glad you're okay. It would be a waste of beauty if you didn't make it.'

Both Kate and Seungcheol blushed at his comment and everyone else made "Ooh"s and "Leader has a crush" at him.
