Together As One

2YG

[Wheein's POV]

As Hyejin whispered comforting words into my ear, I couldn't help but let tears fall from my eyes. The pain I had to go through when seeing Hyejin hurt herself, when having stupid nightmares of what happened in the past, and so much insecurities just overwhelmed me. I sniffled and got up.

"But don't worry too much about me okay Jinnie? I want you to recover and let's get you discharged okay? Then we can support each other better ya" I try to assure her that I was going to be fine. Honestly though, I was more worried about her since Yongsun unnie had shown us the message sent by Manager Oppa.

"Okay... I'm sorry. I didn't keep my promise of telling you when I was hurting so much." Hyejinnie apologises profusely.

"Hey... it's okay babe, it's not your fault. If I were in your position, I think I would have kept to myself as well." I comfort her.

"Wheeinie?" Her soft voice asks. I look at her waiting for her to continue.

"Are you still taking your medications?"

I sigh as I heard the question. Truth be told, I had not been taking them for about 2 months already, but I knew that would worry her.

"Mmm, don't worry about that okay. Let's focus on you getting better first before anything else ya." I barely finish my sentence before Doctor Ha enters the room with a few nurses who were holding some medication syringes and all.

"Good morning Hyejin ssi. It's time for your medications." Doctor Ha says and I move to the side where the 3 unnies were waiting.

I felt a gentle squeeze on my arm and I look at the person.

"Everything okay?" Yongsun unnie asks me in whispers and I nod my head in response, giving her a tiny smile.

[Moonbyul's POV]

As we waited at the corner of the room, I winced everytime I saw the nurses inject a different liquid into our baby maknae's arm. From the IV drip that was attached to her wrist, to the handcuffs, to the assortment of medications she was being made to consume now, I couldn't imagine how much pain she was in.

/TIMESKIP TO WHEN HYEJIN IS DISCHARGED/

[Moonbyul's POV]

Today was our first proper meeting at RBW agency since Hyejin was discharged a day ago, She was definitely better, emotionally more stable, but like Doctor Ha had warned us earlier, her weight loss was scary. We knew at least it was not due to improper eating habits, but rather because of her schizo medications. Over the past week at the hospital, we noticed our maknae getting bonier. Although she was overall happier and in a sense healthier, the sudden weight loss was still hard to accept.

"Hello girls, glad to see yall back here!" Our dance teacher greeted us. Today we were preparing for a performance at one of the large scale festivals next week.

"Heh! I'm glad to be out of the stuffy room. Let's get down to practice!" Hyejin replies with much enthusiasm.

On the other hand, her other half, Wheepup was seemingly looking more tired than usual.

"Wheein ah, you have to move your arm first, then place it on your right leg. Come on, let's start again from the beginning."

I glance at Wheeinie, she was our dance elite, it was extremely unusual for her to be messing up moves like this. After another hour of practice, we were finally done for the day with regards to dancing.

"Let's take a short rest before we practice the singing part." Leader Yong says before walking out to refill her water bottle.

Wheein drags her feet across the room before slumping down on the chair beside Hyejinnie. Hyejin immediately offers the pup her bottle of water which was accepted with much gratitude. I sit down where I was and just took the chance to observe the two young girls. The younger gently holds on to the other's hand, rubbing it slowly as if meant to comfort the older. The older rests her head on the younger's shoulders, closing her eyes tiredly.

I smile to myself. This reminded me of how the 2 of them had came all the way from Jeonju, their hometown to Seoul, in an effort to chase their passion. It was such a beautiful friendship they had.

Suddenly, Wheein lifts her head, accidentally knocking into Hyejin's chin to which the younger reacts by wincing a little. Wheein's eyes widen a little and she presses soft kisses on Hyejin's chin, quietly mumbling words of apologies. Wheein then gets up and runs over to her bag and takes out 2 small medicine containers. She brings them over to the young lion cub who was frowning at the containers, pouting away.

The puppy opens the container and takes out a couple of pills and presses them into Hyejin's hands. It was clear that Hyejin hated the medications. My eyes opened wider as Wheein opened the other container and took out a few more pills and then covered the container and placed both back into their bag.

"Hyejin... you have to eat your medicine you know... you promised me if I take mine, you will take yours..." I heard Wheein softly asking Hyejin who was staring blankly at the pills in her palm. I heard a soft sigh and then the 2 young girls downed their medication in seconds rushing to get water to flush them down their throats.

My heart ached, seeing them having to take medications regularly because of the pain they were going through.
