"Jaemin, we've made our decision. You won't be promoting with NCT until you've recovered completely. Are you okay with that?"
I gulp sceptically. I keep insisting that I'm healthy enough to continue promoting with NCT Dream, but deep down inside I know that I'm not okay. And so does everyone else. Eventually, I accept the fact I will be leaving the dorm to be hospitalized for about a month, working on physical therapy and all sorts.
I turn around to my members and I see Chenle almost in tears.
"Don't cry, Chenle. I won't be gone for long." I give him an assuring smile. We all embrace each other in a group hug. I feel my bottom lip quiver and I bite it gently to make it less obvious. We finally let go of each other, but I feel Chenle's arms tightening their grip around me. My breath gets heavier each second that he holds onto me.
"Stop it, Chenle, you're making it harder for me." I jokingly say, but hot tears trickle down my smooth cheeks and I cover my face with my large hands, wiping the tears away in the process. The managers look at me apologetically, but nonetheless, they still order me to pack my bags as I have to leave tonight.
I stand outside the building with my suitcase as I wait for the car to drop me at the hospital, with Jeno and Renjun by my side.
"I wrote you a letter. I'd like you to read it whenever you feel lonely at the hospital, and we'll visit you whenever we can." Renjun smiles at me sadly as he fights back tears.
"Stop making everything so sad, for goodness' sake. I'll be back in a month." I roll my eyes but smile back anyway. Jeno squeezes my shoulder once a commodious black car shows up and my manager motions for me to get in.
"Goodbye hyung, we'll miss you!" Jisung calls out as soon as the door shuts.
Jeno's POV
As soon as he shuts the car door, a series of chills swims down my spine as I finally accept that Jaemin won't be with us for a while now. We go back into our dorm and I take a look at Jaemin's room once before closing the door. What was once colourful and messy, is now empty and lifeless.
Come back soon, Jaemin.
