jisung could feel his heartbeat.

he failed.

the one thing that it's almost impossible to fail at. and he did it.

jisung wanted to scream, but he couldn't bring himself to. it would waste energy that he needed.

"ji?" chan asks, looking up at jisung. the blond could feel jisung's heartbeat quicken and his fingers twitch.

jisung's eyes open, barely enough to where he could see. but he could see his best friends. chan right next to him, holding onto his hand. and changbin, asleep with his head on the end of jisung's bed.

a small laugh escapes jisung's mouth as he watches changbin sleep in possibly the most uncomfortable position ever.

"jisung?!" chan says louder, his smile growing. jisung smiles back, happiness overtaking him for a minute.

chan launches himself onto jisung, arms wrapping around the younger. changbin awakens quickly, still in a sleepy daze.

"sungie?" the ravenet asks. he instantly finds latching onto jisung's other side, nuzzling his face into jisung's neck.

"i'm so sorry," changbin repeats over and over again. jisung cocks his head in confusion.

"why are you sorry, hyung?"

"if i hadn't left you alone, you wouldn't have done this." changbin whispers out, his voice barely loud enough for jisung to hear clearly.

jisung frowns, his hair instinctively playing with the elders hair. "it wasn't your fault, binnie. it was my decision, i'm sorry for spooking you two."

jisung was sorry for scaring his two friends. but he wasn't sorry for what he did.

"how long do i have to stay here?" jisung asks, changing the subject. "and how long was i out?"

chan smiles at the younger, squeezing his hand as he sat back in his chair. "we brought you here last night. thankfully, changbin had walked in before you were too far to be saved. so they just had to do some things to make sure you stayed healthy. you should be able to come home with us tonight."

jisung fakes a smile. "yay! can we get cheesecake to celebrate?"

both boys nod and laugh, and the atmosphere changes from worry to their normal one. they talk for a bit, the doctors coming in once to check on jisung.

"where's my phone?" jisung asks, realizing he should probably inform some of his other friends that he was okay incase they knew. chan quickly looks through his bag and pulls out jisung's phone and hands it to him.

a frown spreads across jisung's face as he realizes that people actually knew. he was hoping that it would stay between 3racha, but it didn't.

"how'd the news get out?"

"news reporters saw us come into the hospital, even if we were fully covered in masks and hoods." chan explains.

"they're fucking insane," changbin blurts out. "why the hell would you inform the public of something so personal before the company releases any information. talk about invasion of privacy!"

chan and changbin both start ranting about the press while jisung tones them out, going through his phone. he informed a few of his friends about his well being, but his heart dropped when he saw a dm on instagram.

why did minho care about his well being?
