Y/n POV

I woke up, my head aching in pain. I looked up to see Chan, Hani, Hyejin, and Yuji sitting on a chair beside me. They sat up and the girls rushed over to me. "Y/n, my gosh you're finally awake we were worried sick," Hani sighed. "Wh-where's Solji," I asked them and they looked down. Yuji started crying. "What wrong?" I asked. "Solji didn't make it," Hyejin uttered and I looked at them in shock. "No, you're lying," I mumbled in disbelief. "No, she's not. I'm sorry Y/n," My head was pounding and I couldn't believe what I was hearing. My tears rolled down my face as my heart was tearing apart.

"No, no, no... it's all my fault," I cried. "It's not Y/n, it's Jun fault don't blame yourself." Chan squeezed my hand, trying to comfort me. "If it wasn't for me... Solji would be here!!!" I yelled. "She's in a better place..." Hani murmured. "We have to just accept it..." There was then a knock on the door, the door opened and I saw Taeyong. I looked away and sighed.

"We're gonna step out for a second." Hani grabbed Chan's arm and they walked out. I heard the door close and Taeyong took a seat. "How are you?" 

I kept quiet... 

"I'm sorry about Solji, we did everything we could," He said and I sighed. "I was really worried about you... when you got shot, I told you to run... you never listen-" 

"... Thanks," I uttered and he stopped talking. "Y-You're welcome." he stammered. "Does my mom know about this?" I asked him. "No, I told her you were busy and broke your phone." He paused. "She told me what you told her... that we broke up cause we realize we weren't meant for each other and we're friends." I sat up and looked at him. He was looking down at his lap and sighed. "Why'd you lie?"

"Cause... it's my business, she's doesn't need to know," I said. "Oh." he sighed. "How long have I been out?" I asked him and he looked at me. "Four days..." he uttered. "I, I want to talk to my mom," He pulled out my phone his pocket and handed it to me. I grabbed the phone and dialed my mom's number. I put my phone on speaker. "Eomma, hey," 

"Oh my baby, I was about to call you. You hadn't called in so long I got worried, but Taeyong said you were caught up at work," she uttered. "Yes... how are you?" I asked.  "I'm fine, how about you?" I looked at Taeyong and sighed, looking away. "Could be better..." 

"Wanna talk about it?" she questioned. "No, where's Jaemin, can I talk to him?" I uttered. "Sure, Jaemin!" she yelled. "Yes Eomma," I heard his cute little voice in the distance and I smiled. "Y/n wants to talk to you," she added. "Yay Noona, Noona hi," 

"Hi Jae, I miss you," I muttered. "I miss you too, where's Taeyong Hyung?" He asked and Taeyong glanced at me, he was about to speak but I spoke first. "He went out for a while," I lied to him. "Aw, well you have to come visit us with him. And tell Hyung I said hi and I miss him too," He rambled on and it really broke my heart. The way Taeyong was with my brother gave me such joy. "I know he misses you too Jae..." I uttered softly.

"I'll talk to you later, ok," I said. "Okay Noona, love you" he chimed. "Love you more..." I hung up and wiped the tear rolling my face. "Wanna visit them after you recover?" he asked me softly. "Um, Yeah... please," I whispered loud enough for him to hear me. "I'll let you relax, Yuta will come to check on you soon."

He said and grasped my hand. I still got that tingling feeling when he touched me, no matter how small it was. But he can't know that, I slipped my hand away slightly. "Uh-huh," He stood up, sighing. He walked over to the door and opened it but stopped before leaving the room. "I love you Y/n..." He said and walked out of the room.

I was starting to get back on my feet slowly but I got check-ups at least twice a week. There was then a knock on the door. "Come in," The door opened and I saw Mark. I looked at him in slight confusion. "Um, do you need something?" He closed the door and walked up to me. "Why?" 

"Why what?" I said in wonder. "Why would you jump in front of me and get shot?" he asked me. "I didn't want you to get shot and it was a reflex." I shrugged. "But I was shitty towards you, you would risk your life just to save me." 

"I mean, I guess," He sat down and he looked at me. "Y/n... I'm sorry for being an ass it's just," He stopped and sighed. "I've been friends with Taeyong since we were kids, I brought me into his lifestyle when I was just a mere orphan that he went to school with," He continued. "I made a promise that I'd always protect him from everything... even heartbreak," 

He looked up at me and his eyes teared up. "When he met you, I knew he was attracted to you... and that worried me." He laughed lightly. "A had the idea all girls are the same... but I guess I was wrong and because that I lost my best friend." All of a sudden he got his knees in front of me and I looked at him shocked. "I'm so sorry Y/n, I'm so sorry. Forgive me please..." He begged. 

"Mark gets up, get up please," Mark got up and sat on the bed. Tears rolled down his face. I could see the genuine love and friendship for Taeyong... he's a good friend. "You're a good person Mark. You had good intentions, just didn't do it in the right way." We laughed softly and I grabbed his hand. "Let's start over, shall we?" I reached out my hand and smiled. "Hey, I'm Y/n," He grasped my hand and smiled. "Hey, my name is Mark." 

"I should get changed. Thanks for the talk, Mark..." Mark stood up and nodded. "No biggie, I'll see you later ok," he said and I nodded. "Ok," Mark walked out.
