Delicate ~ Minsung

Chpt. 5

   Jisung woke up in an unfamiliar room. He went to sit up but instead felt an almost unbearable pain in every part of his body. He let out a yelp and fell back onto the bed, curling up slightly. The pain in his chest was what hurt the most, and him panicking about not knowing where he was was not helping. His breathing was staggered and his mind was clouded. The only thing he felt was pain.

   He was in so much pain that he didnt even notice that someone was lightly tapping him. His sobs, that he didnt know were there, were quite loud. He couldnt hear them over the pain he felt. His body was shaking and had clear tears sliding down his face.

   "-hyung! Jisung-hyung! You're scaring us!" Jisung heard through the pain. He slowly opened his eyes but quickly opened them as the light was bright and his headache was killer.

   He felt a hand start to stroke his hair and, despite not knowing who's it was, he calmed down a bit. Another hand wiped his cheeks, ridding the tears. Then he felt the hand move from his cheeks to his arm, comfortingly rubbing up and down.

   "Jisung hyung, we need you to try and open your eyes for us, please? We have medicine and water along with some pancakes." He heard a voice say from next to him. It wasnt the same as beforw, so he was slightly confused. By now he was calm enough to try and open his eyes again. He slowly opened them, flinching a bit before he finally saw the mystery voices.

   They were two boys he didnt recognize.

   "Hyung! You're finally awake!" The shorter one said. Jisung didnt know who he was, or the one next to him.

   "Be quiet, Lele, he probably has a headache," the taller said, moving to help Jisung sit up. Jisung was a bit shocked at first, but let him help him, wincing when he felt a lot of pain. When he was set up, he was handed a pill and a glass of water. "Here, go ahead and take this. Just be careful not to drop the cup."

   Jisung took the pill and placed it in his mouth, grabbing the cup with both hands and taking a sip, swallowing the pill. He then leaned back a bit into the pillows and was about to speak before he was shushed.

   "Dont speak, your throat probably hurts. But I'm assuming you were going to ask who we are and where you are. My name is Park Jisung and this is Zhong Chenle and we are the two youngest members of the Dream gang," the younger Jisung said as he gestured to the boy next to him.

   "Minho Hyung asked if we would watch over you while him and all of the others went on a mission." Chenle said. Wow this boy was energetic.

   Jisung's eyes widened. What would his friends think? Did they know what happened? They were probably worried sick! He tried to sit up again but the younger Jisung stopped him again.

   "Woah woah, what's wrong?" The youngest asked.

   "M-my f-f-friends," Jisung stuttered out.

   "Oh, dont worry, Hyung told them he'd have you back by noon. It's currently 9:30, the Hyungs should be back any minute since the mission they went on was pretty small. Some other gang wanted to fight Dream but Stray Kids joined so it made it 11 against 5. Weird, huh?" Chenle rambled again. He really did like to talk.

   Meanwhile, the oldest just nodded and took a drink of his water before asking the two young boys a question.

   "W-what exactly h-happened l-l-last n-night?" Jisung asked, his throat still not working all that great.

   "We weren't there, but we were told that they found you in an alley being beaten by some other gang. Minho beat 'em up and then brought you here and had Renjun stitch you up, you had tons of open wounds." Baby Jisung said, making sure to leave out the part Hyunjin had told him about Minho calling Jisung "his boy." But of course young Jisung forgot he had a boyfriend who knew the story too. A very loud boyfriend at that.
