"I'm a strong person. But every now and then, I would like someone who will be there, take my hand and say everything's gonna be alright."

"Oh, Yukhei, Jungwoo just left." The nurse immediately announced as soon as she saw the three males walking inside the door of the infirmary. "Maybe 5 minutes ago."

"He did?" Yukhei frowned, looking at the empty bed Jungwoo occupied just a few hours ago. Why wasn't he waiting for me?

"Yeah." She breathed, walking towards Yukhei. "Make sure he's not exerting too much force on his legs." The teenager nodded, keeping that in his mind. "Now, go get lunch, you three."

The three students nodded and walked out of the small room, slowly pacing down the empty hallways. Yukhei was still fuming about her and her antics, and so were Yuta and Minhyung.

Although, another thing ticked Yukhei off, the fact that Jungwoo wasn't there inside the infirmary nor outside his classroom door. The trio arrived at the cafeteria, Yuta and Minhyung running off to their table, while Yukhei looked for Jungwoo or even his friends.

"Ten-hyung, did you see Jungwoo?" The younger asked, looking at Ten while the elder shook his head while sipping his yogurt.

"No, we thought he was still in the infirmary?" Ten's voice was laced with fear, the same scene happened several weeks ago, and their minds were still recovering from the shock.

"The nurse told us that he left." Yukhei informed, seeing Taeil and Sicheng's eyes widen.

"Oh, God, not again." Donghyuck whispered, his hands fidgeting as he bit his lip.

"Wait, wait." Jaemin declared, looking at his hyungs while he stared at the screen of Chenle's phone.

"Jungwoo-hyung's fine." The youngest smiled, showing them the message Jungwoo sent him.

"Can you ask him where he is?" Chenle nodded at Yukhei's request, typing in the message and quickly sending it to the elder.

"He said he's in 'somewhere'." The youngest frowned, reading the message again. "Yeah, he's not answering the question."

"What?" Yukhei frowned, running his hand through his brown hair in a frustrated manner. "Where is he?"

"Did you two fight again?" Taeil questioned, looking at the taller that shook his head in denial.

"No."

"How's Jungwoo doing? Did he get hurt seriously?" Sicheng asked too, his mind worrying for the younger.

"No, the nurse told us that it was just a nerve shock." Yukhei explained, the other males nodding in understanding.

"That girl did it again, right?" Doyoung raised his eyebrow, already thinking of a way to confront the bi– I mean her.

"Right."

It was quiet, for the both of them, but it wasn't awkward or anything, it was quiet because Seungjae respected Jungwoo's feelings. He saw the pained expression on Jungwoo's face when they saw Yukhei, even his stuttering gave him off. Seungjae was pushed out of his train of thought when he heard silent sniffles, his eyes immediately landing on Jungwoo, who had his face buried on his forearms.
