ok friendRENJUN
message me when u get home my friendnari rolled her eyes in renjun's silliness. she didn't know if she should be moved because her crush seemed to worry about her walking home alone or she should be hurt because renjun indirectly friendzoned her. she got off the bus only to be greeted by a dimly lit bus stop. her apartment was just seven minutes away from the bus stop yet she seemed like she's taking some time walking.
she stopped on her tracks when the street lights flickered. why the hell is it scary tonight? she thought, slightly regretting that she rejected the idea of donghyuck walking her home. she then heard a whimper that made her body froze on her spot. being a curious cat that she is even in this life and death situation, she scanned the area to look out for the owner of the sound.
she saw a figure of a guy sitting on the ground and his back leaning on her apartment building wall. he was holding the side of his stomach and was obviously breathing heavily. nari used her blueprint tube to poke the guy's shoulder to check if he's conscious. when the guy didn't show any reaction, she turned on her phone's flashlight to scrutinize the guy's condition.
“t-turn off the lights, it hurts my eyes,” the guy suddenly spoke, making nari step backwards due to shock.
“jaemin, why are you covered in bruises?”
“you know me?”
“this is actually the third time we're meeting,” nari helped jaemin stand up. “let's go to the hospital,” she added.
jaemin removed her grasp and shook his head, “i'm fine. thank you.”
“no, you're not.”
“god, you're so annoying.”
“i know, so let's go to the hospital.”
“i hate questions so stop forcing me to go to a hospital,” he let out an exasperated sigh. despite being from medicine deparment, he can't help but to admit that hospitals really do question a lot, but he knows that it's for the sake of the patients.
“oh my god—did you kill someone?”
“and if i did? will you finally leave me?”
“no, duh, i'll call the police.”
jaemin stared at the girl for a while, his face remained expressionless in spite of feeling a tad of dizziness, “you're the annoying strawberry girl.”
“took you long enough to remember—”
“if i pass out, take me anywhere but the hospital, please.”
“what do you—”
nari couldn't even finish her question when jaemin's body gave up and collapsed. luckily, her reflexes were quick to support jaemin. remembering what jaemin told her before he fainted, she aided him to her apartment unit with the help of her unit neighbor taeil, who just got out of the building to buy ramen.
