~The Move to Korea~

53.

BANG!

When I heard the gun shot I held onto my chest and dropped to the ground thinking that I had got shot. But when I lifted up my hand to check for blood there was nothing there. I look over to Chenle who had been dropped but he was not injured. I looked up I saw blood seeping out of Taeyong's chest. I gazed at him while he dropped to the ground. He sprawled out in front of me and blood gushed out of his wound. Then I laughed. No, I cackled like a witch. I was so happy that I couldn't hold back my joy. I never have to deal with blackmail, jealousy nor revenge ever again.

But before I could stand I was being picked up by forceful hands and being taken away. Not far though, just outside of my house. Everything seemed to go faster than normal but my vision was a mess of colors when I opened my eyes. It was like I took acid. They stuck me with a needle and I could feel them cleaning out my blood with saline and using the tape next to me to ensure the little needle.

"Li? Can you hear me?"

I replied with a nod.

"Thank god. While you stood there they had you already under control," I could see Felix through the blurriness.

"The house is under lock down. Chenle is getting fixed up by Hyun-jin," Minho said through heavy pants of hot breath.

"Thank you Min,"

"No problem,"

I tried to stand but when I reached for the grass my whole arm buckled and I face-planted into the dirt.

'What the hell did they do to me? Drugs? But damn that hurt like hell'

"Are you okay?" He lifts me up and brushes off my face.

"Hmm," I try to attempt again but I failed.

"Can you be patient? The anti-dote will kick in in about 10 minutes,"

I huff back at him and he sticks out his tongue at me.

"What happened to us? What is wrong?"

"There was a hint of psilocybin and diflouromethane in the needle you were shot with. And Chenle was the same,"

He gently pats my head and stands up. I couldn't see where he was going so I couldn't try to follow him. I contemplated it for a while but instead of trying to get up, I laid back down. Suddenly it was really cold for a couple of seconds and then it got really heated. It was like a warm burst of water washing over me again and again. With each pulse I felt a bit better than before. I got my full vision back and it was blinding at first but I just wanted to get up. Minho saw my struggles of getting up and came over to me.

"Do you feel better yet?" Minho asked.

I nodded and attempted to get up without face planting into the dirt. I finally staggered up with a tug from Minho. I just had the idea to go back into my house after all this mess just happened. I was only about 40 feet away from the front door. I don't know why but I had to go back into there. There was a trail of people going in and out of the place anyway. I tried to cease the stumbling as much as possible while I walked with the crowd. I think I fit in quite well because I made it in without any questions. I don't look at the scene next to me but I just walk up the steps and into my room. I collapsed on my bed and took a very deep breath.

I really wish that everything could go back to normal. Before Taeyong and Lucas. Just wishing it was me and Bobby and the Dreamies. But now all these choices have led up to this and I wish I never married Taeyong. I wish I never spent that money on the wedding. I wish I never walked down the aisle with him. I certainly wish that I never let him in. And I hope no woman ever has to deal with anyone like Taeyong ever again.

I look at my TV and the time. It was only 8:47 at night. I rip out the needle and throw it on the other side of the room. I struggle out of bed and back downstairs. I shove my way outside back to Minho to get some more information on what was injected into me.

"The way it seems like it was like you took 4 grams of shrooms and 110 grams of that diflouromethane out of a 200 gram needle and it was filled to the rim with some stale saline,"

"So what does that mean?"

"You will pee everything out so make sure you drink a lot of liquids for the next 3 days just to flush out the liquid. But you don't have a low immune system so you will sorta be fine...well it's kinda like you're high sorta but it's just for a bit,"

"Oh okay. Where is Chenle? He has to be okay for this trip tomorrow,"

"He should be fine with a little cleaning up but they just took him back into the house,"
