April 22nd, 6:36pm

It has been hours after they brought Jeongin home. They couldn't afford to take him to the hospital, so they treated him the best they could. Chan was pacing around the living room, thoughts flooding his head. He was so overwhelmed that he had zoned out from everything around him. All of this is my fault. I let him go from my sight so easily. God what kind of leader am I....? Chan thought.

Suddenly, everyone's attention went straight to the door. There was loud banging.

"Do you think it's one of the officials?" Jisung mentioned.

"Can't be. There's no need for them to come here." Woojin answered.

Chan unlocked the door cautiously.

Alex was standing right there.

"What do you want? Haven't you caused enough trouble?" Chan spat out.

"What do you mean?" Alex asked.

"Jeongin went looking for you and now we don't know if he's gonna wake up." Woojin blurted.

"He's hurt? I know he tried to protect me but I didn't think they would hurt him like they did." Alex mumbled.

"Obviously they did and now he's practically dead." Hyunjin wouldn't even look him in the eyes.

"You've caused enough harm here. We tried giving you a chance. First you risked Felix's life and now Jeongin's?" Changbin went on.

"I didn't mea—" Alex started.

"It doesn't MATTER if you meant to or not! My family is dying because of you!" Chan paused. "Just leave. Don't come back either. I don't need to lose anyone else."

Alex stood there for a moment. He was going to try and argue, but he instead stopped. He looked around at the other members and saw the hatred in all of their faces. ".... fine. I'll go." Alex said, he turned around and walked off. After a few steps, he started to sprint. He disappeared into an abandoned building to hide for the night.

Chan went straight for the couch and sat down. He didn't know how to process any of the day. It seemed too surreal. Jeongin was basically gone.

A few moments after, he decided to send Hyunjin into Jeongin's room to keep a check on his vitals.

Even with how early it was, he called it a night and tried to sleep.
