Stay With Me?

Chapter Two: A Shot in the Dark

I cannot believe I just ran over a goddamn kid.

Hyunjin glances over at Jeongin. He's sitting quietly, occasionally looking at his scuffed up hands.

He didn't mean to hit him, one second he was there and the next he wasn't. It also doesn't help that Jeongin is wearing a dark blue hoodie with black jeans. No one would've seen him, no, that's a lie. Hyunjin is just an idiot. He knows not to look at his phone while he's driving, but Jisung was blowing up his phone so much that he just wanted to answer so he would shut up.

Speaking of the devil, his phone lit up with Jisung's contact name, Annoying Squirrel. Normally, he would just ignore the call, but this was the sixth time Jisung's called him in the last half hour. Now, Jisung is annoying, but not to this extent, something had to be wrong.

"Can you answer that for me, please?" Jeongin looks at him with an adorably confused face, "Me?" "Yes, you. You're the only one here besides myself, correct?" Hyunjin doesn't mean for it to come out as harsh as it does, but Jeongin just nods and grabs the phone.

"Hello?" Jeongin asks shyly. Cute. "Uh, my name is Jeongin," a pause, " Yes, he's right here." Jeongin looks at Hyunjin with wide, curious eyes, "He says he needs to talk to you, and that it's really important." With a sigh, Hyunjin takes the phone from Jeongin. "Yes Jisung, can I help you?" "Boss! While Changbin was on patrol, he- he was shot! He's bleeding everywhere! I-I don't know what to do, Felix is freaking out and I have no idea where Minho is!" It's all spoken in one breath, so fast that Hyunjin has to take a second to process what was said.

Once Hyunjin understands he immediately responds,"Keep pressure, I'm on my way." He tosses his phone into Jeongin's lap. Speeding up to well over the speed limit he tells Jeongin, "New plan, we're going to my place." "W-what? Your place, wh-what do you mean?" "A friend of mine has just been shot, no more questions." He steels his voice, leaving no room for argument.

Jeongin sits in, what looks like, shock but ultimately stays quiet. Less than fifteen minutes later, they pull into a very large driveway, Hyunjin presses a button on the remote attached to his car's visor, opening the gate. They pull up to a decently large two story house. Hyunjin glaces at Jeongin. He didn't mean to scare the poor boy but his friend needs him and he wasn't just going to leave Jeongin on the side of the road. He walks around to the passenger's side of the car and opens the door.

"Out, follow me, don't wander, don't speak to anyone unless I say you can." Okay, in hindsight, he could be nicer about this whole thing. He did basically kidnap this kid, but he isn't really a nice person, so he doesn't know why he's even worried about the kid's feelings. "Come on, out."

Jeongin slowly steps out of the car, moving aside so Hyunjin can close the door. Hyunjin turns sharply and walks quickly to the front door. Jeongin jogs to keep up with his pace. The hallways pass in a blur, and soon enough they're down a flight of stairs. Jeongin falters for a second, it almost looks like a medical bay on the entire right side of the large basement like room. The other half is walled off, with multiple doors along it. A group of people are hovering around a bed.

Jisung turns and immediately spots Hyunjin when he walks in. "Hyunjin, thank god you're here. He's not doing so hot." "Everyone, move." Hyunjin parts the crowd with his presence, rather than his words. He looks down at Changbin, single shot to his inner shoulder, close to his collar bone, deep but easily fixed. "You idiot." Changbin finally opens his eyes a crack, "Hah, glad to see you too boss, love to chat with you but this thing hurts like a bitch and I'd rather it be removed quickly."

Hyunjin rolls his eyes, yep he'll be fine.

He looks over his shoulder at Jeongin, "Felix, would you please take Jeongin up to the kitchen and doctor up his wounds." Felix is quick to respond, glad to have something distract him. "Of course, Mr. Hwang!" Felix turns towards the boy, Jeongin, and causiously grabs his hand. "Lets get all that dried blood off of you huh?" He leads him up the stairs, already talking his ear off and asking him questions.

"Alright, lets make this quick." Hyunjin turns back to the bed Changbin is laying on. He begins giving orders, falling into a routine that, sadly, has been ingrained into his conscious with how many times he has preformed it.
