Locked Away

•23•

Taekwoon's POV

It's past midnight and I still haven't heard from Hakyeon. I was released from the hospital two hours after he left in his mission with Jaehyun.

All I could do was watch as he left. I tried to get him to wait for me but he was impatient.

I am in my apartment, watching dramas. I have my phone turned up all the way, waiting for that message from Hakyeon.

What I receive is not what I wanted.

Suddenly someone knocks on the front door. It's probably the person who sent me the text.

I get off the couch and rush to open the front door. I am not surprised when I see Wonshik standing there.

"Hakyeon and Jaehyun, they are both in surgery" he puffs as though he ran to my apartment.

I push past him and run to the stairwell. He follows me as I go down the stairs faster then I ever have in my life.

Arriving at the hospital I can't help but feel nervous. What if Hakyeon doesn't make it?

We are greeted by Hongbin's sobs as we enter the ER. He is seated in a chair with the other 5 members of Yuta's group around him.

One who has white hair tries to comfort him but it isn't doing much.

"Hongbin ah" Wonshik calls out to his friend. Hongbin looks up and smiles slightly at the sight of Wonshik.

Wonshik crouches before him and places a hand on his knee.

I just stand there and watch on.
I barely know these people.

"You're Hakyeon's friend?" a shorter guy comes up to me. "Boyfriend" I correct him and he looks slightly surprised.

"My name is Taeil. Do you know what happened?"

"No" I don't look at him as he speaks. I just keep watch over Hongbin. I know Hakyeon would do the same so I should stand in his place and make sure that Hongbin is okay as possible.

"Jaehyun and Hakyeon crashed their car into the kidnappers to save Yuta. Jaehyun hit his head on the steering wheel and he has a concussion. When they hit the pole, paramedics said that a shard of glass impaled Hakyeon's upper chest. He also hit his head pretty hard."

My heart sinks. He will be okay won't he? He has to be. Hakyeon can't die.

"What about Yuta?" I ask and Taeil closes his eyes briefly. Not a good sign.

"That bastard tore him up pretty badly. He is getting stitched up and treated. The way he was crying when they brought him in. I've never heard anyone cry like that before."

"Will he be okay?" I say softly and Taeil shrugs his shoulders and exhales a shaky breath.

"We don't know. Not about Yuta or Hakyeon. Jaehyun may be the only one to survive."

I can't bring myself to ask anymore questions. Taeil looks as though he is struggling to keep it together and I can feel myself becoming a little glassy eyed.

"You all here for Yuta, Jaehyun and Hakyeon?" a doctor questions softly from behind us.

"Yes" I say firmly and turn around to face him hoping for good news and nothing less.

"Jaehyun is in the ICU. He is in a coma but his heart is weaker then we would like so we need to keep tight watch over him. That's nothing to really worry about to much as it happens to most patients after a car accident. He should be awake by sunset tomorrow."
