"Is he alive?" Sicheng wasn't sure who he was talking about, he was sitting in a police car in front of the hospital after a doctor had stitched up his cheek and gave him a pain killer injection. Detective Radlew wanted him to speak about everything that had happen when he was barely able to speak - too worried, too frightened, too guilty.

"Is he alive?" stuttered Sicheng watching the neon sing in front of the building.

"Yuta is alive don't worry, now tell me everything," said the deceive turning to him.

"I was asking..." Sicheng shivered.

"He's still alive," muttered the detective when Sicheng's heart began to beat faster. "Even if he won't make it you won't get in too much trouble it was self defense," said the man.

"But I won't be able to live with it," whispered Sicheng lowering his head.

"Anyway, tell us want happened one by one," said the man when Sicheng felt so much pain when he started to press the words out.

He was talking slowly, the horror of the night flashing in front of his eyes again and again.

If it hasn't been for Ella, she was so brave to sneak in there with the fog light.

"And then you came," said Sicheng feeling so scared when a silence fell, the other officer who was doing notes glanced at Radlew.

"Taeyong had fooled us all, his actions were planned in each detail, it was a genius plan that never took into account the craziness of friendship and love he as a sociopath couldn't experience. It turned out he had been in treatment for years, Jaehyun knew about it," said the man while Sicheng felt his heart speeding up.

"Jaehyun knew Taeyong was a psycho?" asked the boy in shock.

"No, he knew about Taeyong's mental health treatment, but he had said he had thought Taeyong is nymphomaniac not sociopathic," said the man. "He has never asked."

Sicheng wanted to cry again, what was it all good for now.

"I can bring you to the hotel, you really need to rest," said the detective.

"I need to see Yuta," Sicheng grabbed the door knob, but it was locked.

His heart sped up agin, he felt like an animal trapped in a cage.

"Let him go," muttered Radlew so the other officer jumped out then opened the door. Sicheng got out on unsteady feet.

He walked to the hospital, through the waiting room till he saw Johnny, Jaehyun Ella and Donghyuck all waiting in front of a door.

"Sicheng," whispered Ella hurrying his way falling in his arms, he hugged her tightly then pulled back.

"Where is he?" he asked.

"We have seen him," muttered Johnny avoiding Sicheng's gaze.

The boy left them walking behind Ella into a room where Yuta was lying with his eyes closed, he was still very pale when Sicheng came to him touching his hand squeezing it.

Yuta opened his eyes, he looked at him, the tears started to roll down his cheeks, he moved his lips soundlessly expressing something Sicheng could read as - I love you.

He took Yuta's palm bringing it to his lips kissing each of his fingers when the door crackled and a doctor came in.

"So you're the boyfriend?"  he asked smiling to him friendly.

"Yes," muttered Sicheng.

"He will be good again, the thing that bothers all the doctors is his voice, we strongly hope his vocal cords aren't damaged to the point where he won't be able to speak again," said the doctor whet Sicheng felt pain hitting him.

No it couldn't be, Yuta was a singer, it was his job, his passion.

He glanced at the boy who looked away tears leaving his eyes.

"I'm so sorry so so sorry," whispered Sicheng kneeling on the floor pressing Yuta's palm to his forehead. "So so sorry..."

"Mr. Nakamoto don't even think of trying to speak, I can bring you a pen and paper, you can write out your regents," said the doctor raising his voice when Sicheng got up.

He needed to be strong for Yuta, he asked the doctor if he could stay for longer, so the man allowed him. Sicheng placed a chair next to the bed then sat squeezing Yuta's hand tightly.

The doctor came back with a pan and paper then gave it to Yuta, when Sicheng felt a shiver.

Yuta scribbled something down then handed him the paper which he took hesitantly.

'Don't even think of leaving me alone here and thank you for saving my life, love you the most.' Sicheng smiled through the tears reading the lines.

He rested his chin on the mattress when Yuta caressed his head.

They stayed like that for a long time watching each other and through all the hardship Sicheng was so relived they were alive.




'Please write back I need someone to talk,' Donghyuck felt his heart beating so fast when he clicked send.

He was lying in bed in his hotel room unable to sleep , the horror of the past hours still racing through his mind.

He had been held back by Johnny and Jaehyun who had forced him to sit and wait when he wanted to follow Ella and help her to rescue Sicheng and Yuta. He couldn't do anything just sit there and yell at them for being cowards. Yes, he remembered all too good the chilly lake, a man with a gun chasing them through the darkness and Mark's warm body pressing him to the wooden planks of that boat when he became a living shield. Donghyuck's heart sped up again, he turned in bed, but in this second his phone screen lit up.

Thank you so much for your love. I must tell you that this book is slowly nearing the end. So what do you think about Yuta losing his voice? What will happen to the band? Will Mark answer Donghyuck's message?

Much <3
