ten

we were all in a panic.

hyuck fled, i was bleeding out, and chenle absorbing all the pain i was feeling.

we were currently arguing back and forth, half of us wanted chenle to stop and the other half told him to stay strong.

"chenle!" i scream. "jeno tell him to stop, please."

jeno looks towards me and chenle.
he crouches so hes eye level with the boy, he pats him on the shoulder.

"how more longer can you go?" chenle half smiles him, leaving me confused.

"maybe twenty five more minutes."

"jisung," jeno looks at the youngest and gives him a stern look. "youre in charge of him, make sure he feels okay, hm?"

"of course."

"jeno can i speak to you for a sec?" renjun calls for him next to me. he was accompanying me while jaemin bandages me up with the supplies we took from the med room.

jeno walks over and sighs, i advert eye contact and sense i was mad. solely because he didnt tell chenle to stop using his powers and rest

"jani, hes stronger." he says softly. "plus jaemin is almost finished, he'll stop absorbing your pain soon." i glance at him quickly before looking back to the boy tending to my wound.

renjun grabs jeno by the wrist and walks away from us.

"jaemin?" i call.

"yes, jani?" he replies

"whats renjun telling jeno?"

"thats not my power jani, sorry."

"can you go find out for me?" jaemin packs his supplies away and puts his hands on his waist.

"how about we go there ourselves?" i shake my head and jaem chuckles. "why not jani?"

"renjun is on protective mode ever since hyuck... ran off."

"he stabbed you jani," minho comes up to us with D8 quickly behind. "i think we all should be on guard."

"whats that supposed to mean?" jaemin asks him.

"nothing, its that if hyuck betrayed-"

"he didnt betray us." i sternly say.

"he literally made you gush out blood, jani." this came from renjun, who looked mad. "why dont you admit the fact that he tried to kill you?"

"renjun-" jeno whispers.

"he was clearly off, something was happening in his head which lead him to do this!"

"guys-" jaemin loudly says. at this point me and renjun were yelling in each other's faces. we had forgotten the crowd, they seemed so amused which made me angry.
i look around to see the whole 360° of the stadium, renjun was still yelling.

"-can you listen?" i stick up my hand to shush everyone up.

there was someone in the crowd that caught my eye. i look at him and he looks at me, straight dead in the eye.
i lift my hand up in the air and stick the finger towards his way.

"what are you doing?" jeno forcibly puts my hand down but resulted with me lifting up my hand again. "jani, youre just entertaining them."

"i know," i reply. "but im making him mad."

"who?"

"mark is in the crowd, look." renjun stands beside me and chuckles. he sticks up the finger too. jeno and jaemin ignore our eldest in the crowd and goes accompany the youngsters.

"you guys look pathetic."

me and renjun look amongst each other and high five each other.

"weren't you guys fighting earlier?" taejin asks.

"i could never stay angry at her!" he wraps his arm around my waist and i feel pain again.

"renjun my wound!" he quickly moves his arm and takes my hand instead.

"oh my god, i forgot." i shake it off and give him a look of 'youre fine'.

"quit moving, your wound is going to re-open."

"fuck off mark." i look at renjun who mentally replied.
basing off of facial expressions, i think mark was only talking to the two of us.

"you didnt help us earlier mark, so we certainly dont need your advice now." i look at his spot in the crowd and see his figure leave the bleachers. i softly shake my head, disappointed.

"guys we need a meeting." jeno announces. we all walk over, me and renjun still hand in hand.

"we need to go into the maze, we might run into donghyuck but that means we dont kill him." he looks at renjun. "okay?"

"im angry at him but it doesnt mean im going kill him." he scoffs. i squeeze his hand and he looks at me with a slight frown.

"anyways we should split up, we could cover more land that way." jeno continues.

"is chenle okay to walk?" i question.

"are you?" chenle looks at me.

"we are not having this argument again," chenle laughs. "yes im good if you are."

he nods and confirms that hes fine to walk.

"great," jeno clasps his hands together. "we'll be in groups of two with one group of three."

"ill be with jani." minho raises his hand.

"wait-" renjun was about to protest but i already agreed. he looks at me with worry.

"ren, its going to be fine." everyone was now talking about partners.

"please dont get lost." he whispers to me.

"i wont," i say softly. "you and jeno take care of each other okay?" he seemed anxious for me and was fidgeting with our hands, still interlocked.

"renjun." he looks up at me and i go in for a hug. he stayed still in shock before embracing me back.

"im not going to kill her!" minho exclaims at our emotional hug.

i break the hug and smile at minho.

"you may never know." and with that we go our separate ways.
