~Hoseok's POV~

I held onto my puppet tightly and I checked it over as I tried to catch up to Seokjin-hyung, sighing when I saw it was untouched That was close... I managed to catch up to Seokjin and I waited for him to notice me, which he didn't, for a good 5 minutes. He muttered to himself about the wolf from his tests and I slowed down, feeling completely ignored Does Seokjin-hyung not like me anymore? I frowned and I looked down at the ground sadly, nearly walking into a wall instead of going into the library.

"Ah, fuck.." I mumbled, before following Seokjin inside and looking around at all the books "Oh, hey guys! Can you help me get down? I'm kinda stuck.." Namjoon asked, balancing on top of a bookcase "How did you even get up there?" Seokjin asked, laughing softly as he looked up at Namjoon "Honestly? No idea hyung. Can you pull that table over so I can jump down onto it? it's pretty heavy though, so be careful." Namjoon suggested, pointing to said table. We both nodded and we rushed over, grabbing each end of the table.

I tried to push the table slowly but Seokjin just took the full weight and pulled it almost effortlessly, as if he had suddenly gained super strength "Woah~" I said in shock as Seokjin stood up and smiled, looking at me "What?" He asked curiously, as if he didn't just pull an entire table by himself "You didn't notice? that table was really heavy hyung.." I said in awe, making him tilt his head "Not for me? Maybe you're just weak Hoseokie" He joked, making me frown.

Maybe I am..Mentally anyway, I'm literally as strong as a rose petal mental strength wise "Ugh!" Namjoon jumped down onto the table and he climbed onto the ground, gripping tightly onto a book "Thanks guys, don't tell the others" He said, chuckling slightly from embarrassment.

"Heh, alright fine. Here's your p-" Seokjin hyung reached down to grab my puppet and he touched it for a single moment, making me get extremely disoriented for a moment as my vision blacked out and my brain went fuzzy before I pulled it away from him, my eyes wide in shock.

He blinked at me a little confused and Namjoon tilted his head, before picking up a rather large book and starting to read it. I held the puppet to my chest as Namjoon muttered to himself and he scoffed "Great, a few pages have been ripped out of the book. They were the ones I wanted to look at too!" He exclaimed in annoyance, before sitting down in one of the chairs as he continued reading. I stood awkwardly and I shifted my balance, before glancing towards the door.

"So, why did you want that book again?" Seokjin-hyung asked, sitting down on one of the seats. "They wanted me to find it last night. So I'm curious as to what is in it.." he said, turning a page. "Right..anyway, I'm bored. Hoseok, come sit." I nodded and sat down in one of the other seats, staring at my puppet. What even..happened last night? I found this doll..got dragged somewhere..given a drug..had a fever dream thing..blacked out and woke up with a puppet that makes me black out if anyone else touches it? Like..what is the logic?

"-ng, are you listening?" I phased back into the conversation, glancing at the others "Huh?" I asked, tilting my head at Namjoon. "All we were talking about was what happened to the youngest three..Jimin..Jeongguk..Taehyung..something must've happened." I shrugged and nodded "Probably, I mean..we all had something happen to us. But..what exactly.." I said, sighing.

"Well..they got moved..very uncomfortable when it's mentioned..Jeongguk has suddenly developed Asthma or something..it's all very odd.." Seokjin-hyung said, leaning back. "Wait, what about Jeongguk?" I asked, frowning a bit. "Since this morning his breathing has been weird..it's like it hurts for him to literally breathe.." he said, sighing.

"Wait.." Namjoon suddenly shut the book he was reading and stood up, walking over to the "W" section of the library. "Namjoon, where are you going?" Seokjin asked, watching him with a confused expression. "Aha, here we are..L..L...lung.." Namjoon muttered to himself, before sitting back down as he read through it. "Namjoon, what are you on about?" I asked in confusion, staring at him.

"He had to have been injured, right? I mean..we all were. Mentally or physically. Just look at Seokjin-hyung and Yoongi-hyung. But..breathing..has to be the lung, right? Well this book says that if you somehow survive a stab to the lungs, you'd have the other lung to still give you air, right? But if not treated properly, the lung can collapse..making it fatal..yet he's still living and breathing..but it still hurts.." he said, moving his finger along the page as he read.

"Okay..but that still doesn't explain what happened to them." Seokjin said, watching him. "Well we know at least Jeongguk might've been stabbed. Where's..hyung, can you grab a book about lung injuries? Should be in the L section." Namjoon asked, looking at me. I nodded and stood up, walking over to the L section. Stabbed? God..if he actually was..poor kid..still doesn't explain the others though.. I looked through the L section before I found a book on Lung injuries, going back to Namjoon to hand it to him.

He looked through it, before pausing. "Right..okay..I need to watch out for these symptoms..if he shows any..he has a collapsed lung and we need to get him to the medical bay as soon as possible." He said, frowning. "Why you? Why don't you tell us too, since we can see?" I asked, sitting back down. "Because it's in this book. Anyway, I'm going back to the dorm to see what else I can find in these books."

Namjoon picked up the 3 books, before grabbing another from the T section and then he walked out of the library, leaving me and Seokjin-hyung alone. "..Well.." I said awkwardly, coughing slightly. Seokjin glanced up at me, before looking at my puppet. "So..Seok-ah.." he started to say, making me tilt my head.

"Yes?" I asked, blinking at him. "What happened last night? We uh..heard you scream.." he asked, tilting his head in curiosity. I went still as I saw flashes of last night play out again. The doll. The room. The pills. The strings. The paint. I didn't realise I was shaking till I looked down at my hands and saw they were shaking so much my puppet was clanking against its limbs.

"You..don't have to tell me..but..I'm..here for you, okay?" I heard Seokjin-hyung say softly, but my brain was fuzzy..it's like he was miles away..like I was underwater or something. I couldn't focus on the world around me as I felt someone rub my shoulder, before they reached towards the puppet. As soon as they touched it my vision went black and I felt like I had lost control of my body. I shot my hand out to grab my puppet and pull it back towards me and I heard them sigh, before stepping away from me.

I slowly regained focus on the world and my mind c,eared as I rubbed my head and I heard Seokjin mumbling to himself in his seat. "What did we do to deserve all this..fuck.." I blinked and looked over at him, before I stood up and started to walk towards the door. "I'm going back outside." I said, before stepping out and slamming the door behind me.
