SeokJin shut his eyes tighter as cold sack of ice was pressed on his still purple neck. The feeling of cold contrasted with the warm of the blanket he was wrapped up in and the cup of tea he was holding in his hand. DaWon had to heat the water once again, adding some so it would be enough for all three of them.


A blessing in disguise was that Mr. and Mrs. Jung were out working on their night shifts because the sibling wouldn't know how to explain current situation to them. Firstly they want to get to know what exactly happened before dragging their parents into it, knowing that they most likely would immediately call for an ambulance and police, what at that moment wasn't the best idea. At least until SeokJin explains what was going on.

For now the girl disappeared in the kitchen, wanting to heat up some leftovers from lunch so the boy could eat something warm, while HoSeok tenderly took off bandages from Jin's hands, not saying a word of what he saw after that. Only thing he did was to clean the wounds and bandage them again with viscose, tightly tying it around his wrists so it want come off, and secured it with adhesive bandage right below his elbows.

He had to wrap the bandage around his ankle a little bit tighter as it was swollen and seemingly sprained, enough for the boy to hardly stand on it. It hasn't stopped him from coming to Jungs though and it really made HoSoek happy. It's true that his heart was breaking upon seeing state his friend it, but at least now he could help him somehow, he knew where he is, because he was right beside him. So he hasn't left him even for a second as DaWon served Jin some soup and a some of a little dry rice, or when he took his pills, while drinking another cup of tea.

"You have no idea how worried I was." HoSeok began as he put SeokJin under thick blanket and both siblings sat on both of his sides, the boy closing his eyes with pleasant smile due to the warm he lacked lately. "What happened to you? Do you want to talk about it?" HoSeok asked, worriedly looking at him.

The boy was quiet for a while, maybe for a little too long, because HoSeok just opened his mouth to change topic, but Kim cut him off, speaking.

"It all started that evening, when I came home from dinner at yours..."
