Pick your side

Chapter nineteen

Hoseok's pov

"Are they alright?"

Hyunwoo asked

"I don't know. She just helped Minhyuk to his room without a word and they have been there since"

"at least they came back"

He said like there was nothing else to say and sat down at the other side of the table. I had waited till Junghwa and the others would come back. I wanted to be there for Junghwa and Minhyk for whatever had happened. But the second Junghwa helped minhyuk in Winwin said to let them be. None of us knew what had happened to Minhyk in those two days or to Junghwa whens he got him back. All we could say is that Minhyk was terrified, scared, traumatized. They came back about 1 am and neither of them has come back from Minhyuk's room for two hours. Me, Hyunwoo and Jiu who came later waited at the kitchen.

"Why are you still up?"

Someone said while coming to the kitchen. I was gonna rush to her but Jiu stopped me and asked

"Is everything okay?"

"yeah, he is asleep. It will take a while that his mind will calm down"

Junghwa said while taking a bottle of water from the fridge

"what do you mean that his mind needs to calm down?"

Hyunwoo asked

"um, it's hard to explain. He saw shit that he might never get off his mind. Can we talk about this later? I need some sleep after all this"

"yeah sure, wait who teached you to curse?"
I asked her

"Probably Changkyun. Just go to sleep Junghwa, we will talk after we have slept. And it's an order"

Hyunwoo said and we all left, Junghwa almost running to her room.

Minhyuk's pov

I woke up sweating, shot my eyes open and gasped for air. I had a dream about the things the men and women had done to me in two nights. Before I could panic more I saw Junghwa sleeping in the armchair. Has she stayed there the whole night? I sighed and calmed myself from the horror dream. I noticed a glass of water at the side table, at the same time I heard shifting from Junghwa so I looked at her and she slowly woke up.

"morning"

I said weakly trying to smile

"How are you feeling? and don't say you're fine"

Junghwa said getting up and sat down to the bed

"How did you feel? the day after it happened to you?"

I asked after thinking

"Like shit. I couldn't sleep for a week. It was hard because no-one knew how I felt or how to help. I think it was my turning point to a stronger person. Ofcourse I was younger back then and well. But remember that I will be always here to talk to"

She looked me deep in the eyes but looked to the door when her name was called

"y/n!"

Wonho's voice called again a little panicked and opened a door harshly, and the door was like at the other side of the hallway..where Junghwa's room was. she got up and went out of my room

"Wonho chill out I'm here"

I lifted myself and sat at the edge of my bed and saw as Wonho rushed to Junghwa and hugged her. I couldn't hear what he said but he seemed relieved and Junghwa just smiled stroking his back comfortably.

"breakfast is ready?"

I heard Kihyun yell and Junhgwa broke the hug and turned to me

"Wanna go?"

"I think I will pass."

She smiled sadly and closed the door after she left

y/n's pov

I didn't dare to let him be alone for too long so I went to the kitchen and started to take some food for a plate

"how's minhyuk?"

Kihyun asked

"He is fine, it will take time till he can come out"

Everyone 'oh'ed and I went back with the food to Minhyuk's room.

I knocked

"It's me"

"come in"

I opened the door and found him hugging a pillow looking lost staring at the wall across from his bed

"I brought food"

I didn't dare to speak in my normal voice. It was heartbreaking seeing and knowing what he has gone through. I smiled a little as I placed the plate to his lap. I backed up and sat down to the armchair. One thing that I had learned about him in this half a year was that he was too pure in any of this, but still, he somehow ended up in here. I had started to think about how everyone ended up in this situation. Hyunwoo had said that Kihyun's dad was the leader before Hyunwoo so maybe Kihyun was just born in this. But how did Minhyuk end up in here, or anyone else? Even Hoseok was a little too pure to be in this kind of world.

"Junghwa?"

I lifted my head and looked at Minhyuk, thinking if something was wrong

"what are you thinking?"

"oh, um nothing. Nothing markable."

I smiled at him

"you seemed to be really deep in your thoughts, just tell me. I want to think about something else than.. that anyways"

"I just, just thought how you all got in this situation"

"well, I think everyone wants to tell their own story but I can tell mine"

"you don't have to-"

"I should have already told you this so I will just get it over"

I sighed and relaxed on the chair

"so, when I was little I learned how to treat wounds and all that from my mother. She was a nurse. But what I didn't know was that she didn't do it on the legal side. I had known Kihyun since the first grade, I had visited their house but never thought anything bad about his family or my mom. But this one day when I was in seventh grade, Kihyin's father had come to our house and mom wasn't home so I needed to help with his wounds. But I was perfectly calm till I noticed the shot wound on his rib. I looked at crying Kihyun at the corner of the room and tried just to do something. I called mom to help and she came. But something that had got stuck in my head was Kihyin's father words to me "you're good with huh,we could use a healer like you in the future" I was confused, so after mom treated his wounds I asked her, she didn't answer yet but when Kihyin's father was healed enough I asked him when everyone was there. And then I got to know that he was a mafia boss and Kihyun would someday take his place. So having a trustworthy healer by his side would help a lot. Not knowing too much about the world I said I will help him. Soon I was sent to training. and well then there was no turning back"
