The scars on our hearts (Yuwin)

I'm indebted to you

When Taeyong called Johnny to inform him of what was going on he was already at the hospital. After finding Renjun unconscious and tied in a closet of the rental home his parents were found at he called Sicheng and rushed Renjun in.
Aside from a lot of bruises and lack of food and water for the past few days Renjun is ok. He will be staying here until he heals up some and both Sicheng and Johnny plan to stay by him the whole time.
"Thank you for finding him, I owe you so much and I was so awful to you because of HIM and I was wrong. Can you ever forgive me?" Johnny shakes his head.
"No one could have predicted this. You were angry at my friend and it's only reasonable that you wouldn't trust me either." Johnny holds up his finger indicating He's getting a call. When he sees Taeyong's name he's surprised because he had almost completely forgot about what the others were going through.
"Hello?" He questions into the phone but only hears sobbing. He quickly gets up and leaves the room. Sicheng just watches with mild curiosity, it's none of his business anyway.
"Taeyong what's happening why are you crying?" He questions in a panic.
"Ten and I are in a police car headed to the hospital, I'm not sure but I think Yuta and Mark are headed there too. I heard them calling for an ambulance but they won't tell us anything. Jack has taken Yuta, that's all I know for sure." Johnny's face pales as he holds the wall for support. He knows rationally that he couldn't have been there but at the same time wishes he was. He would have given himself for his friend even knowing Yuta probably wouldn't have it, he would have done anything to prevent it from happening. He rushes to the emergency department desk and asks if they have arrived yet when he sees Yuta on a stretcher with blood soaking the sheet that he's under and Mark running behind him.
He runs to Mark grabbing him by the shoulders to get him to tell him what happened.
"They beat him badly, I was right outside the door. I didn't hear the gunshot. I tried to get to him faster but..." he was stopped mid sentence as Johnny's right fist connected with his cheek.
"You were supposed to protect him, if he dies it's on you." He walks away seething, heading to where they've taken Yuta.
"Are you next of kin?" Johnny looks to the doctor and nods."
"Ok, we are going to take him to surgery. The bullet is lodged in his lung and we need to take it out without collapsing it. He's lost a lot of blood so I suggest calling any other family in case you need to say goodbye." Johnny falls into a sitting position on the chair he had stood from.
By now Taeyong and Ten have arrived as well and head to where Johnny is waiting. Mark is stood outside the door on the phone with his boyfriend desperate for someone to be on his side.

"I think we should tell Sicheng." Taeyong says standing up.
"No, I think Mark should tell him. Explain everything and then explain how he let him get hurt." Johnny knows Mark is waiting outside, knows he can hear them.
Mark walks away, he knows he's not wanted there and he knows this is all his fault so he goes to a different waiting room near by.
"Johnny, take it easy on him. He did everything he could. It was just how the situation turned out. No one could have predicted it. All of our lives were on the line at the moment and Yuta saved us, he sacrificed himself for us. Don't you think I should hold some guilt in this too then? And Ten? I mean after all he was the one who was kidnapped, maybe we should have let him die?" Taeyong says raising his voice.
"I'm sorry. I'll apologize to Mark for hitting him after I know Yuta is going to live." It was quiet but only for a minute.
" w-what happened t-to Yuta?" Sicheng asks with a shaky voice.
Taeyong stands and pulls Sicheng into his chest and sits him down to explain everything.
It takes a while but he finally gets to the part about him being shot and the surgery just as the doors open and the doctor steps in looking like he himself had gone through hell and back.
Everyone stands and listens carefully, Sicheng is trying to control his sobbing but it's hard.
"We got the bleeding under control, we had to do a transfusion and then we retracted the bullet from his lung successfully. He will be asleep for a few days but as soon as he's in his room I will send a nurse to come and get you so you can see him."

When they got to the room, Sicheng was shaking and terrified he was still sobbing. There is so much to process but for now he tries to focus on the fact that so far Yuta is alive and well. He lets Johnny see him first, then he goes as Taeyong and Ten plan to stay with him while Sicheng goes back and forth between Yuta and his own brother.
When he finally walked in the room it was like someone punched all the air from his body.
Yuta's face is hardly recognizable with all the cuts and bruises he has going on. His breathing is being done with a tube he looks awful. He walks slowly to him and gently presses his lips to the only place on his face that isn't swollen. He holds his hand and continues to cry hoping for a chance to talk to him at least one more time, he wants him to know that he loves him.
He stays with him for a few hours before going to check on Renjun.
Renjun has since regained consciousness and is currently hugging Johnny when Sicheng walks in.
"I'm so sorry Sicheng, Johnny told me what happened." Sicheng runs over and holds his brother as tight as he can without hurting him.

After an hour with his brother who seems to be in good hands he needed to see Yuta. When he gets to the door he quietly listens as he hears others in the room.

Mark drops to his knees begging for forgiveness.
"I know this is all my fault, I should have done more. I'm so sorry." He doesn't say anymore, just hangs his head in shame until an unknown male walks up to him and taps his shoulder. He looks up and cries harder at seeing his boyfriend Haechan standing above him with tears in his eyes. They hug tightly until Haechan separates himself and walks over to the bed. He grabs Yuta's hand and quietly cries.
"I don't know if you can hear me or not but I want you to know that you're a hero. Not only did you save the lives of your friends and my Mark, you saved eighty seven people who were chained in the warehouse like animals. Men, women, children. I along with so many others are so great full for your actions today. I'm indebted to you." He cries some more as the others in the room try to console him. Sicheng heard everything and can't even begin to fathom the gravity of what Yuta has went through. He feels unworthy to even be there, because he was so mean to him. He slowly walks in deciding that he needs to at least stay and make sure he's ok. When all heads turn to him he's overwhelmed.
He walks over to Yuta's bedside and takes his place beside him, he holds his hand and plans to stay there as long as he can.

Sorry for the long wait. Loving the comeback, also...

IM GOING TO SEE THEM LIVE!

Also, thinking of the people affected by COVID-19 and hoping for a cure or vaccine in the very near future. Love you all, stay safe and healthy. 💕
