[jaehyuk pov]

i was in the dorm playing video games with junkyu and yedam until we heard a loud bang at the door.

"jaehyuk, junkyu! sora and haruto got into an accident!" i heard junghwan yell from outside the door.

my head shot up and we looked at each other, in unison we got up and came outside to asahi pacing the room on the phone.

"what happened?" junkyu asked panicking.

"we don't know yet, we have to get to the hospital now. the other members are already on their way from practice." junghwan said.

my head couldn't process what was happening, it was all over the place. everyone was panicking and confused about the situation. we started to head out and tried to get to the hospital as fast as we could.

when we got there, half of the members were there outside her room. everyone was silent and had their head down worried.

"are they okay, what happened?" yedam asked breathing hard.

yoshi lifted his head, his eyes red.

"a car was coming towards haruto and lost control because of the snow," he paused getting choked up, "sora was able to get him out the way before getting hit, but—" yoshi couldnt finish his sentence.

i sat down next to yoshi and put my hand on his back trying to consult him.

"they're strong hyung, they'll be okay."

he nodded and wiped his tears away.

"where are they?" doyoung ran up to us panting with mashiho.

hyunsuk pointed at the two rooms a couple doors away from each other. doyoung quickly went up to the window and peeked inside.

i was terrified about what could happen to them, i just hoped they were strong enough in there.

"which of you is soras guardian?" a doctor came up to the group.

yoshi quickly stood up and bowed ensuring the doctor. he nodded, he peeked over at the all of us who packed the sitting room with 11 other people waiting for statements on the two of them.

"do some of you want to go see them at a time?" he suggested. no one said anything until yoshi nodded giving us the okay.

mashiho, jihoon, junkyu and i followed yoshi and the doctor into soras room. everything was plain, it was so neat and clean, it looked off. everything was white. the blanket, the chairs, equipment, and even the patient clothing sora was wearing.

it seemed unreal to even see sora here. she was pale and lips were purple. the covers were neatly folded beneath her arms and her eyes closed as she was positioned with her arms to her side. her arm was bandaged and so was her head.

she looked calm, kind of angelic. but it was scary seeing her this way. she looked lifeless. the color in her body was wiped out completely.

you could hear yoshi break down as he got closer to her and gently touched her face where more bandages were placed on her abrasions.

"she was put into shock and blacked out after she was hit. she suffered a few injuries that will heal overtime and aren't as serious. she is still unconscious but she should wake up soon. it may take some time from the hit." the doctor said as he read her clipboard at the end of her bed.

yoshi knelt down and touched her hand.
"please i need you to fight. i need you to fight now okay? if you fight now, i promise i will fight for you for the rest of my life.. please sora." he whispered with her hand against his cheek.

it broke us hearing those words come out of yoshi, after everything, we knew how much he has gone through with people leaving his life. his only family who was sora and his grandma who lived all the way in japan.

junkyu came over and put his hand on his shoulder, "they're going to do the best they can for her and haruto. we have to stay strong for them. she wouldn't want us to feel this way" his voice shaking.

he shut his eyes and nodded. he turned to the doctor, "is he okay? haruto?" he asked in concern.

haruto didn't have any other family here. yoshi and the japanese members were closest to him since they trained and came to korea together.

the doctor nodded, "yes he's fine. would you like to see him?"

he looked at sora and nodded back, "yes, please." he turned to me, "can you and mashiho stay a little longer, if you want? we'll all take rounds visiting sora and haruto so it won't be crowded" i nodded.

yoshi and junkyu followed him out and two other members came in.

i sat down next to sora as mashi, jihoon, and jeongwoo were on the other side.

"you idiot." jeongwoos weak voice whispered to her. "you should've just let him hit haruto! you aren't as strong as you always told me." tears ran down his face.

i knew it hurt jeongwoo badly too. they were best friends, same with him and haruto. they were always together and hung out with each other. i couldn't bare to watch him see both his close friends in the hospital.

i left the room and shut the door behind me.

i could hear faintly behind the door, "jeongwoo it's okay, sora is strong. stop bullying her even in her sleep. she'll probably beat you up if she heard you say this." jihoon said trying to help make jeongwoo feel better.

"maybe she'll wake up if i keep bullying her," he sniffed.

"zo is strong! she'll be okay jeongwoo." i heard mashiho's small voice tell him.

i didn't notice asahi come up to me, "jae, you okay?" he put his hand on my shoulder.

i sighed and nodded.

"i know you care a lot about sora—" he sighed, "they're going to make it through this." he smiled weakly.

it was silent for a bit seeing the members going in and out of the rooms.

"you can go in now, i should go see haruto." i tried to smile again.

he nodded in agreement and we both entered the separate rooms.
