⚠️WARNING:
The following chapter includes content about crime (therefore police, sirens and crime scenes) and violence. Please don't read this chapter if you're triggered easily.

Y'all know me I always check if you guys really read the warning.

I will now assume you've read the warning and are prepared.

Wonho's POV:
"You should have taken care of her." I almost shout. Surprised at my own rage, I sit down in order to calm myself.

"I'm sorry..." Hoshi says quietly, looking at Hyejin, who's laying on the sofa.

There is no sign of emotion in her face and her skin looks even paler than usual, dark circles have formed under her eyes. If it wasn't for the small movements in her chest going up and down, it would almost look like she wasn't alive.

A painful thought to which I never want to think back to.

The hard practice until late at night isn't letting any of us have a real sleep. But in Hyejin's case it's even worse. Sometimes she stays up all night because she can't sleep or she wakes up and then can't get to sleep anymore.

Even after she told us about her past she never felt fully at ease, never safe enough to sleep through a whole night.

It hurts to know that I'm not strong enough for her to feel secured.

Suddenly she starts mumbling and furrows her eyebrows.

I bend over to have a closer look. What's going on? Is she having a bad dream. The guys gather around her, all looking worried for our youngest.

Just as I'm about to take her hand to give her some sort of comfort, she jumps up. Our heads bump together "Ouch."

I sigh in relief, she's finally awake.

Of course my members instantly start bombarding her with questions, asking if she's alright and feeling fine, leaving her confused for a short second.

A few hours later Hoshi went back to his company since he initially wasn't even allowed to stay out so long.

I know that my words made him feel worse but for some reason I still feel mad.

I go to the kitchen to make myself a cup of green tea, I need to calm down. As I wait for the water to boil Hyejin enters, her face looks still a little pale but she seems better.

"You want some too?" I ask pointing at the tea bag.

"No thanks hyung, I'm not a big fan of tea. At least not when it's warm."

Hyejin opens the cupboard to get herself a glass "I'll just go with water." She shrugs "It's important to stay hydrated for better skin and it also helps with losing weight."

"Did the staff tell you to loose weight again?"

She nods "Apparently the clothes don't fit me well with a body like this." The sad undertone in her voice is unmistakable.

I can't believe they told her this nonsense again. Not knowing what to say I try to focus on the water again, after all we can't do anything about it.
