A boy laid on the bed with a dripping infusion beside him that constantly giving strength to him. He opened his eyes to the bright sunlight shining through the thin curtain of the hospital's glass window.

"Good morning" a voice greeted Jinyoung. It made him quite shocked. He turned his head to his left side. There, a person sit with both of his elbows on his knees, fingers intertwined in front of his mouth, looking at Jinyoung from the corner of the room.

Jinyoung was silent. Who was that?

He then remembered that someone brought him to the hospital. He was half conscious when the person brought him there. He didn't even have time to observe the person.

"G-good morning" he finally answered but he was still confused and scared.

The person got up from his chair. He could see Jinyoung was breathing heavily and have that scared expression carved on his bruised face. He slowly walked towards the boy, "Don't be scared. I am not going to hurt you."

Jinyoung nodded in response and his eyes never left the person. He was somewhat still scared and the trauma from the night before was still there in his mind.

The person took a small chair next to the infusion pole to beside Jinyoung's bed. He sat there and rested his hands on Jinyoung's bed. "Do you remember anything from last night?"

Wrong question.

Jinyoung suddenly cried. He turned his head from the person beside him.

"Oh no I'm sorry. I didn't mean to remind you about that. I just- I- I'm sorry Jinyoung. Please don't cry.." he held Jinyoung's hand tightly. His thumb rubbing the hand to comfort the crying boy.

Hearing the name was mentioned from the person he didn't even know, made him curious and turned his head again facing the stranger. "H-how do you know my name? Who are you?" Jinyoung said slightly sobbing.

"I'm Im Jaebum. I know your name from your identity card. I used it for the registration" he paused, looking at the boy. "I'm not going to do anything to you. You can trust me." he gave his sweetest smile to Jinyoung.

Jinyoung just nodded, "Thank you"

"You're welcome" Jaebum took a deep breath, "So, the police will be here soon and-"

Before he finished his sentence, Jinyoung cried again. He shook his head "no.. no.. "

"shh Jinyoung listen to me. The police will be here and all you have to do is to tell them everything that you remember about last night."

"no.. I don't want to-" Jinyoung said between his cry.

"Jinyoung, you have to. You have to do this. Let me help you. Let the police help you. You cannot stay with the trauma forever, can you? Please, just tell the police anything that you remember. Okay? You will be alright. Just let them know and they will arrest the bastard that did this to you."

"two..."

"huh?"Jaebum leaned his head forward.

"two. There were two of them" he began to cry again.

Jaebum paused. He went silent for a moment. Two people? Fucking two people raped this innocent young boy like why don't they just fuck each other? Jaebum was angry. Why didn't he pass that street earlier? If he was early and offered the boy a ride at the first place, all of this would never happen. He gritted his teeth and unconsciously squeezing Jinyoung's hand tighter.

"Jaebum.. my hand- it hurts.."

"uh? Uh I'm sorry. I just. I feel angry. I'm angry that I wasn't there passing the street before those guys approached you. I won't forgive myself for this."

"no, it's not your fault Jaebum. Don't be angry at yourself"

He let go of Jinyoung's hand when someone knocked the door. Jinyoung wiped his tears using his fingers and sighed.

Jaebum stood up and opened the door. The police finally arrived. He let them in "Good morning, I'm Jaebum, this is Jinyoung"

"Good morning." They took the seat and started to ask Jinyoung questions.

"It was around 11 p.m, I walked home passing the 59th Street from the café that has a library named Oasis. I heard a man shouting from the car, offering me a ride. I said no and suddenly the car stopped in front of me-"

"What car?" the police cut the story

"I-It was like an old van.... like the van in the Scooby-doo movie. The color was black, but I didn't see the number. After the car stopped he came out and I thought the man was alone but it was two of them. Both wore dark tank tops, they also wore mask so I couldn't see their faces. One of them had a tattoo on .. on the left arm."

"what tattoo?"

"I didn't know exactly but it looked like a dragon? I don't know.."

After telling the story in detail, the police had a chat with Jaebum outside the room. Jinyoung couldn't hear anything from the conversation. He felt relieved after telling the story to the police. He was hoping they would arrest the men sooner before any further victims.

"The Doctor said you can go home tomorrow" Jaebum told Jinyoung as he put a hot lemon tea next to the flower vase.

"uhm, thank you Jaebum-ssi"

"for what?"

"for everything. Everything from the beginning. I just don't know how to pay you back after all of this"

"nah, no problem. You don't need to think about it. Nice to meet you tho" he smiled at him. "by the way, I have to go. I have class at 9." He took his bag from the table and walked towards the door "oh and Jinyoung,.." he turned to him as he opened the door. "we attend the same campus" and by that, he left the room. Same campus? He never saw Jaebum before.. was it Jaebum that never attend the sessions or him that spent almost all day in the library?

Jinyoung sat up and reached for his hot drink. He took a sip and put it back to the table. He looked out of the glass window. A bird perched on the balcony, chirping. Another one joined. After a moment enjoying their time together, the birds flew away leaving Jinyoung back with only himself in the room. 

He sighed and slowly closed his eyes.
