28; Running Behind

Her head hurts, she sits up pulling at strands of her hair that were since stuck to her face, groaning and moaning.

The scenery around her is way too bright, forcing her eyes into small slits as she attempts to look around the room, only to be forced down back onto the bed by a weight over her chest.

She doesn't even have to look down to know it's Baekhyun, the loud whine echoing through the room tells her what she needs to know. He whines again, rolling over as if her middle is a comfortable mattress, effectively knocking the wind out from Y/N.

She pushes him off to the other side of the bed, hearing a whine pass through his lips again, and she sighs and shakes her head.

Her feet hit cold tiles instead of carpet flooring, and she hisses instinctively, pulling away from the cold surface. 

She opens the door quietly, head sticking through the crack just wide enough to let her fit, eyes scanning up and down each side of the hallway.

She hears Baekhyun and Jongin--who she just noticed now--call for her to come back, but she just creeps into the hallway. People pass her by in groups, and they smile at her out of polite obligation and she smiles back, walking out to the stairs and working on making it down them.

"Y/N!"

She looks over and its Yifan walking side by side with Yixing, both of them smiling at her and being followed closely behind by Kyungsoo.

They make their way closer to her and Yixing wraps an arm around her shoulder, leaning into her and smiling.

"You just woke up?" 

She nods.

The trio laughs, seeming so happy.

She can't help but laugh too.

"Did I sleep too long?"

Kyungsoo leans forward, putting all his weight on Yifan's shoulder.

"A week, maybe two. It's time to get up."

"I'm awake now, aren't I?"

Kyungsoo opens his mouth to answer, but is cut off before he can by a voice with more happiness in his, if that was even possible.

"No. Not yet. I have to admit, I'm surprised."

She whips around, staring him right in the eyes.

Minseok sits down on a bench she didn't recall ever truly being there, and he's smiling, chuckling softly to himself as if he's recalling a fond memory.

Sitting next to him on the bench is a melancholy looking Taemin.

"Taemin?"

He doesn't register her being there, and just stares off, as if looking straight through her.

"Minseok, where's Chanyeol?" 

She wants to see everyone.

"Busy."

He still hums happily.

"Taemin?"

She feels someone clasp a hand on her shoulder, and suddenly nobody is laughing anymore.

Nobody but Taemin.

"Y/N, wake up."

She turns and sees Jinki.

Then, she wakes up.

She sits up in bed the same as before, but this time nobody is in her bed with her, but Minseok and Joonmyun are in chairs on either side of her bed, snoring softly.

She lays back down, closing her eyes, facing the ceiling.

She smiles softly, her breath returning back to normal as she prepares to go back to sleep.

And then she feels a hand wrap around the base of her throat.
