ep 11; the overdose✨

WARNING; this episode contains mentions of addicting substance that could trigger, read at your own risk.

Earlier in the day,

I decided to spend my day alone, just think about some stuff. There's nothing wrong with self care. Besides, I don't have time for myself anymore. I waited for Jinki to get out of the house to drive away to his humble job. He finally did, but I craved something.

Something I've been craving for a long time, this hasn't happened ever since I smoked it. Strange.

My lungs inhaled the substance and suddenly everything began to be blurry. I craved more and more. I spotted something in the cabinet. It was Jinki's pills. Strong desire for just falling asleep, not worrying about anything.

I'd be happy. I can see my dad again. I could live the happiest moments of my life again.

I swallowed every single pill in the refill and my body just seemed so relaxed. Everything felt... nice

My flashbacks came back where I was finally happy with my stuttered breath. I could hardly inhale any oxygen as foam started spilling out of my opened mouth. My knees weakened, falling down to the floor. I couldn't get up, I was stuck.

I could really die right now, that's something I don't want. Not now..

I can't even see Jongin's smile when he wins his tournament or when he gets married and I'm the best man. Minho winning in basketball, making it to the best team in the world. Jinki finally coming home to hug me. I dropped the jellyfish pin in my pocket.

Nothing.

Silence surrounded the kitchen.

A knock rushed at my door and I heard a quiet voice from outside. "Taemin, you there?", his sweet sounding voice made me smile when the bad voices in my head called me many bad names possible. "Taemin?"

I hesitantly muttered, "w-who is it?", my voice uncontrollably shaked as I tried to get up on my knees to get the door but I ended up collapsing instead.

The stranger tried to knock down the door, he knew I was in danger. "Taemin, what's wrong?!", he said again.

I knew that voice but who is that?

He ran in, trying to find me. I was laying in the kitchen floor with the pill bottle on my weak hand.

It was Minho.

Minho took the pill bottle and saw my almost white eyes, paled skin, and foamed spit. "Taemin, are you fucking insane!?", he slapped me in order to wake up. He kept on begging me to snap out of it. Soon after that, I lost consciousness, but I could still feel and hear everything. He grabbed my phone just in case.

I felt two arm pick me up and the trees waving back and forth. The breeze hitting my ice cold cheek.

Minho started yelling for help but gave up and ran as fast as could to the emergency room. His tears rolling down his cheek and falling on mine.

later in the hospital,

Minho sat impatiently in the waiting room. He was told he couldn't come in with me because he's not related to me. Someone tapped his shoulder. It was him. That dumbass jerk that always picked on me. Minho clenched on the jellyfish pin. I finally remembered his name. His name is Jin-kyu. The amount of times that he messed with my head. (reference to the guy in ep 2 + 7). I shouldn't have joined that gang just to prove my point to him.

"You're here for Taemin, aren't you?", Jin-Kyu smirked. Minho glared at him. "You did this to him...".

Jin-Kyu scoffed and looked at him. "You're saying that like I'm responsible for his dumb actions. What did he even do? How is he?"

"Stop acting like you care about him. You just messed with his head, always trying to just get him to fight you. Do you even know anything about him?", Minho clenched harder on the pin.

"Do you know anything about him?", Jin-Kyu asked.

"I do. Do you wanna know why? It's because I actually care about him."

Loud yelling was heard from a group of paramedics running in. "Perform CPR on him! We don't have much time left.", one of the medics yelled.

Minho's eyes started to fill up with tears and Jin-Kyu tried to comfort him.

What did I do?
