i slowly opened my eyes to see the off-white light, that let out a slight buzz. i let out a small grunt as i felt a stinging pain lingering near my stomach.

but my brain won't let me relax for one second,  all the flashbacks started coming back one by one.

jaemin and i making out in the bathroom stall.

renjun and i first talked to each other.

renjun stabbing me.

yeah, what an interesting timeline.

i can tell my future grandkids that their grandpa survived a pencil stabbing. "pfft." i laughed at myself.

i shook my head side to side trying to forget what happened, i sat up on the bed and looked around.

nurses office.

i looked down to see myself in my regular shirt, "at least i don't have to worry about changing now." i mumbled to myself.

i lifted my shirt to see the wound wrapped up in a thick bandage. "and i thought they would put an ice pack on it and call it a day." a smile lit up on my face as i amused myself.

i heard the door next to me bust open to see mark and chenle panting like dogs. both of their eyes washed with relief seeing me awake.

"i thought you died." chenle screeched, he came running over to me and engulfed me in a big hug. he hugged me a bit too tight, but hugs from chenle are the best types of hugs.

mark sat by my side on the bed, the younger let me go and copied the older. mark looked at me with such confusion.

i remembered that mark saw me in the stall with jaemin. i shifted my gaze over to my hand and started to fumble with my fingers.

mark being the panic gay he is would never bring it up, right?

"so, want to explain why you were in a stall with jaemin earlier?"

wrong.

chenle's jaw dropped to the bed, he looked at me. his gaze shifting to me and mark quickly, "what?" was the only thing he could say to us right now.

mark just stared at me, looking for an answer. i was gonna respond to him until he gasped, hands covering his open mouth. his hands came over to the neck part of my shirt and pulled it down.

revealing my collarbone filled with a big bite mark against my skin. he traced down to see another pack of red, pulsing marks. chenle covered his eyes and started to silently scream to himself, as mark was panicking internally.

"please explain, anything. uh- anything woul- i just," the oldest couldn't say a proper sentence without stuttering. "jeno, say something please."
