The contents of his drawer were spawned across Jaemim's room floor as he flipped his drawer inside out. He found the black and white item, placing it in his pocket before exiting his room and going down to the ground floor to check on Y/n.

Yesterday, she got shot, Jaemin spent the entire night locked up in his room. Tears running down his face yet he made no sound. Teeth dug into the back of his hand to prevent his cries from being heard.

In fact, he had not cried in a long time, the last time he remembered crying was the day of the accident. He had not felt sad for a long time that he had almost forgotten what it felt like to have the indescribable feeling of misery inside him, what it was like to cry over someone he truly loved and cared for.

He arrived at the ground floor, making his way to the medic room where his other gang members were.

" She's ok, " he heard Taeil tell them, " she'll wake up in two days or so. "

" Don't most people wake up a few hours after? "

" She lacks a lot of nutrients, it seems like she hadn't been eating or sleeping well, " Kun explained, " Taeyong, can I talk to you for awhile. Jaemin could come along. "

They followed Kun out into the hallway, stopping when they were a good distance away from everyone else.

" You should take care of her more you know, " Kun told the pair standing in front of him, " she isn't as bright as you think. "

Taeyong tilted his head to one side, asking what he meant by that statement.

" She has lots of scars and cuts on her wrist and Renjun told me that she hasn't been eating much lately, " Kun said with a sigh, " Jaemin, please take care of her, Taeyong isn't free most of the time. "

Jaemin had fallen asleep next to Y/n, the keychain she gave him when they were both kids was placed in her open palm. He had spent the entire day besides her, drawing random shapes and figures on her hand to keep him entertained while he waited for her to wake up.

She waited for him for years so he waited for her, wanting her to wake up so they could be friends again.

" His whipped, " Chenle whispered to his best friend the next morning.

" Since when, " Jisung asked, as he secretly snapped a photo of them, " since when were they close? "

Chenle shrugged, snapping a picture using his own phone before pulling Jisung into the living room.

" We're still gonna visit noona later right? " Jisung asked but Chenle only snickered.

" Provided Jaemin let's us visit his newfound girlfriend. "

Chenji went to visit Y/n after breakfast, bringing some food for Jaemin because they knew that he probably wouldn't leave her side.

In the afternoon, the rest of the dreamies came to visit for a while, asking Jaemin whether he had feelings for the girl but he of course denied it.

Evening rolled around and a few other members came to visit her and too soon, it was nighttime again.

Jaemin stood up, stretching his limbs and sitting back down. He tucked a piece of hair that had fallen across her face behind her ear and made sure she was properly covered by the blanket before laying his head at the side of her bed and closing his eyes, waiting for sleep to overtake him.

But he couldn't fall asleep, he didn't know why he couldn't. So he ended up watching the moon through the window beside her bed, his eyes occasionally flicking to Y/n.

At around 3am, however, after Jaemin had finally fallen asleep, a lone tear escaped from Y/n's eye and her finger moved by a fraction.

Jaemin groaned, turning his head to face Y/n, jolting a little when he felt Y/n's hand running through his hair.

" You're awake. " Jaemin said, smiling slightly.

" Do you remember this? " he asked, showing her the black and white keychain.

Her eyes widened taking the keychain from Jaemin and looking at it closely, " wait so you... "

She tugged at his hand, pulling him in a tight hug and messing up his hair, " do you know how much I missed you?! You dumbass why didn't you tell me earlier? "

" Yah yah, what if I squash you to death? "

" I don't care man, " she said, " where did you go? Why did you stop coming to school? "

Jaemin spent the next hour telling her everything. From the accident to the moment he started getting flashbacks after he met her and having dreams of his forgotten memory.

" And yet you couldn't recognise me? " Jaemin asked with a scoff.

" But you look so different and it's been ages since I saw kid Jaemin. " she defended.

They heard a cough from the door and both turned to look at Taeyong who was standing at the door somewhat awkwardly. He walked towards Y/n with a small smile on his lips.

" Are you feeling better? " he asked, " are you hungry? "

She nodded and told him that she wasn't hungry.

" You did great on the mission, Yangyang had taken the information with him, " he informed her, " we're all shocked that you took the bullet for Jaemin. "

" I will let you join the gang but you have to promise me something, " Taeyong told her, " promise me that you'll eat your meals and take care of yourself ok? "

" Yo wait y/n noona is in NCT now? " Jisung asked, covering his mouth in surprise, " she's also part of the dreamies, us? "

" What's your position? " Chenle asked curiously.

" Spy and seducer. "

" Damn Y/n hottie. " Donghyuck said winking, " you'll need to practice your seducing skills, I suggest you practice on Jaemin. "

Y/n choked on the food the dreamies had bought for her and Jeno patted her back lightly. They chatted for slightly over two hours and when they were preparing to leave, Y/n suddenly recalled what she had seen before she got shot.

" Renjun, on the night of the mission before I got shot, I saw Dino duplicate the information on Jaemin's phone just like I did to Scoups's. "

" Then they'll have information about NCT. We're equal now but how did they know that Jaemin was a gang member? " Renjun wondered out loud, " I have to tell Taeyong about this, maybe we could make a deal with them. "
