Chapter 23: Help

As soon as the bullet left the gun and it's loud bang erupted into the stuffy air, some stranger who had been near the gunmen lunged at him. The force of his body against the man had made them both fall to the ground and the gun was knocked from his hands. It slid across the floor until it hit a wall and that's where it stayed while the stranger struggled to pin the gunmen to the ground. The two other gunmen who were still standing near the front started walking to the back to help out their buddy. The bartender had been dropped to the ground where he stayed as he shook in fear. The two men stormed through the crowd of quivering people on the floor, but before they had even made it halfway, they had been tripped. They both fell to the ground with a thud. Anyone who might have been in the way of their fall scattered.

So many things where all happening at once and Junhui didn't know what to do, he seemed lost and his mind couldn't process anything. All he saw was Chan clinging onto Seungcheol as Seungcheol held his body up with all his might.

Everything was in chaos.

With the sudden realization that the gunmen had been briefly knocked down people began running for the door trying their best to get out of there safe. Within the chaos the guns had been kicked around and couldn't been seen anywhere. The gunmen were in physical fights with some of the braver people who had decided to take them on, but none of that mattered. Junhui ran up to Chan with Wonwoo right behind them and they led the two of them out of the building. Seungcheol had picked up Chan and carried his weakening body out of the club. The all ran towards the door along with everyone else. Junhui grabbed Wonwoo's hand as they ran, linked together. And when they pushed through the first door Junhui shrieked and nearly tripped over the body on the ground, coated in blood. It was the space buns lady. Wonwoo just urged him on. Determined to get out of there alive. When they made it through they watched as people all around them ran in seperate directions, terrified. Junhui looked out at the road in front of him and then over to Chan. They needed to get to a hospital. It seemed as if Wonwoo had the same thought because he was already hailing a cab. None of them had phones so they couldn't call an ambulance and this was their best option.

Junhui was so shaken. He couldn't even comprehend what had just happened. And he didn't have time either. Wonwoo was already pushing him into a cab and telling the driver to head to the hospital. Wonwoo was sitting in the front seat and Junhui sat in the back with Seungcheol and they held Chan across their laps.

They got to the hospital in record time and Wonwoo tried to pay the driver but he refused to take the money, telling them to get their friend in there as quick as possible. Use the money to pay the hospital. By that time, Seungcheol was already inside, Chan still in his arms, shouting at people to help him. And when Junhui and Wonwoo made it in there, there were nurses running around; some helping chan onto a gurney, others rushing to clear a path, some paging doctors, and then there was one who was holding Seungcheol back from doing anything. Junhui and Wonwoo ran up to Seungcheol and held him back, dragging him over to a chair to sit down.

"I'm going to go get us some water. Okay? I promise I'll be right back." Wonwoo looked Junhui directly in the eyes as he said this. Junhui only shakily nodded his head and Wonwoo was off. Junhui and Seungcheol were left alone for a moment before a nurse came out and walked over to them.

"Hi, I'm Carol." Her voice was soft and angelic, and she smiled sweetly. "What's your name?"

Neither of them answered. Too shaken up to say or do anything.

"You are the ones who came in with the kid with the bullet wound, right?"

Seungcheol stayed silent as he furiously bounced his knee up and down. So Junhui nodded his head in the same shaky was he had done with Wonwoo.

"Alright well I'm going to have to take you two into the back to do a little check up. Make sure you aren't injured. I was told there were three of you. Where's the other?"

"Right here." Wonwoo responded as he showed up and sat next to Junhui, handing him a water bottle.

"Drink up." he said to Junhui before trying to hand Seungcheol a water bottle as well, but the man wouldn't take it. Wonwoo set the water bottle next to him and then turned to the nurse.

"Who are you?" he questioned.

"I'm Carol. I'm a nurse here. I need to take you guys back for a little check up if that's okay?" She asked with a tilt of her head and her brunette messy bun bounced around a bit.

"Yeah, that's okay." Wonwoo answered.

Carol then went over to Seungcheol to try to get him out of his seat while Wonwoo pulled Junhui up into his arms, but as Seungcheol tried to stand, he let out a deep groan of pain and and three of them looked over at him. And that's when they saw it, Seungcheol was bleeding. His lower abdomen was covered in blood and he fell the ground.

Carol called for another nurse and the two of them carried Seungcheol through some double doors and they disappeared. Seconds later Carol came back into the waiting room and walked up to Wonwoo and Junhui.

"Your friends are going to be okay, they are with our best doctors, but right now I need to make sure you two are okay. So follow me." She turned and headed for another set of double doors. Junhui and Wonwoo trailed behind her and she led them to hallway with many doors and brought them into one of the rooms. There were two beds separated by a curtain and the room smelled of sterilizer and chemicals. Carol gestured for them to sit on separate beds and they did.

"I'm going to go get another nurse, I'll be right back. Get comfortable." And then she was off.

As soon as the door closed Wonwoo got up from his side of the room and went over and pulled Junhui out of his bed and into his arms. Junhui wrapped his arms around Wonwoo and the taller held Junhui's head into his chest. Junhui whimpered as he held on even tighter to Wonwoo.

"It's going to be okay. You don't need to say anything. I'll answer all of their questions, just do everything they ask and let them make sure you're okay. Got it?" Wonwoo pushed Junhui away a bit so he could look at his face. Junhui nodded and Wonwoo let him sit back down on his bed. Wonwoo opened the curtain that seperated them so he could watch over Junhui and sat back down on his own bed.

About a minute later Carol walked back in with another lady right behind her. "Alright, we're just going to do it quick check up, it shouldn't take long."

Carol walked over to Wonwoo and the other lady walked over to Junhui. "Hi there." she spoke to Junhui.

"I'm Samantha, what's your name?"

"His name is Junhui. I'm Wonwoo." he kept to his word when he said Junhui wouldn't have to answer any of their questions.

"Alright, Wonwoo." Carol started, "Do you mind telling us what exactly happened to your friends?"
