❝ CHAPTER THREE: IT'S GETTING WORSE ❞

Jisung was startled awake by the sound of one of his hyungs waking up froma nightmare.

He could immediately tell who it was based on the heavy breathing that was coming from them.

As quietly as he could, so that he would not disturb the others, he moved over to Chenle. Chenle looked over at him, which was a good sign.

That meant that he was in this world, and not somewhere off in his mind. Jisung placed a finger over his own mouth, indicating to Chenle that they shou ld be quiet.

Chenle nodded and allowed Jisung to help move him out to the living room. Once the two were on the couch, he began the breathing technique with Chenle.

This was actually helping him too since he had been startled pretty badly, even though Chenle didn't make any noise when he woke up.

It was quiet, the only thing they could hear was the humming of the refrigerator and the breaths that the two were taking.

When it seemed like Chenle had calmed down, Jisung pulled him into a hug, running his fingers through the elder's hair.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Jisung asked, hearing the sniffling coming from Chenle.

"It was Mr. Yang. He was beating Jeno, and I was tied up, forced to watch. There wasn't anything that I could do to help him," Jisung hummed, remembering that day clearly.

Chenle came back home that day carrying a very beat up Jeno. Chenle was an emotional wreck and Jeno could barely move at all.

He had to rest for almost a week. It was difficult to keep up with the lie that he was sick since the hyungs were adamant about sending him to the hospital.

Jisung began to hum some of their songs to calm him down. Chenle eventually fell back asleep.

Jisung laid Chenle down on the couch. Chenle whined a bit as Jisung went over to the closet to grab an extra blanket.

He laid down next to Chenle and covered both of them with the blanket. He wrapped an arm around Chenle, who snuggled closer.

The two eventually fell back asleep. Renjun woke up to the sound of the birds chirping, annoyed that he couldn't sleep any longer.

Usually when he woke up, it was difficult for him to go back to sleep. He got up and looked around him, immediately noticing that Jisung and Chenle weren't in the room.

He walked out of the room and relaxed when he saw the two curled up on the couch. Seeing how Jisung had his arms wrapped around the other, Renjun was able to guess that Chenle had had a nightmare.

He walked over to the kitchen to start breakfast. Even though today was supposed to be a day off, with how their choreographer is, they never knew what would happen.

More of the members started to make their way to the living room/kitchen. "Hyung, you should sleep some more," Renjun said as he saw Mark walk into the room.

Mark shook his head, can't sleep anymore," he said, taking a seat on the stool.

The only ones who were still sleeping were Haechan, Jisung and Chenle. The four were chatting while Renjun continued cooking with the help of Jeno.
