Wooyoung

I twirled my fingers in Mikyung's hair, trying to calm her in her sleep. After the news about Yunho, she wouldn't stop pacing around the hospital, worrying about her best friend. It took me quite a while to calm her down and convince her to sit down next to me and take a small nap to calm herself down. I heard footsteps approach me and I saw Yeosang, who looked worried as he sat on the vacant seat right next to me. Next to him sat Suzy and Jongho, both of their eyes red and blotchy. It's a somewhat scary sight, to be honest, but I'm not going to make fun of them. Not now.

"Any news on Yunho yet?" I asked Yeosang quietly.

Yeosang shook his head. "No. All I know is that the car was practically on top of Yunho when the truck crashed the taxi he was in, and he passed out when he knocked his head at the back of the seat. He has a concussion, but that isn't what's so worrying about him. His legs are. So the heavy weight of the taxi was practically on his legs, and they couldn't handle the strain, so his legs broke in seventeen different places altogether."

"Seventeen different places?" I exclaimed.

Yeosang nodded, looking grim.

I leaned back and sighed, continuing to run my fingers through Mikyung's hair. She slept peacefully on my shoulder, lost in the world of Dreamland and not having to worry about anything in reality. I glanced at Yeosang.

"I don't know how to break the news to her," I confessed.

Yeosang sighs. "Just tell it to her. Straightforwardly. Maybe that's the best way to go." Just as he finished saying that, Seonghwa called him. Yeosang got up and left to listen to what he has to say, leaving me alone with a sleeping Kyung again.

Suddenly, Mikyung yawned and woke up, rubbing her tired eyes. I smiled and patted her back.

"You're up," I smiled.

Mikyung sighs and grips the edges of her chair, looking around at her surroundings before looking back at me.

"Any news on Yunho?" she mutters sleepily.

I sighed. "He broke his leg in seventeen different places." Mikyung bit her lip, worried, but then I hurriedly said, "Don't worry too much, Kyungie. He'll be alright, trust me."

Mikyung sat up and stared into space, sighing deeply. "The wait is killing me," she says truthfully.

I rubbed her back before standing up, taking her hand in mine. "You know what, let's walk around."

"Huh?" She looked up at me, an inquiring look on her face.

"Let's look around the hospital while we wait for news on Yunho," I answered. "I can't stand just sitting down here and stare into space. I need to walk around. You can come along, if you want."

"Okay then," Mikyung stood up and stretched her limbs. "Only because I need to make sure you don't go around breaking the hospital equipment."

I gave her a pointed look. "I'm not that chaotic."

"I'm still going to watch you carefully," Mikyung smiled. I laughed before resting my arm on her shoulder, and we walked into the hospital.
