"renjun? can you hear me? i came to see you," a voice spoke above him as he grew concious of his surroundings. "jaemin?" renjun was able to say.

   he wanted to cheer and cry happy tears as he had finally been able to speak. "no, this is jeno," the person said. there was a long pause before he heard a relieved sigh. "you're awake," jeno sounded overwhelmed with happiness.

   "hold on, i'm going to go get a nurse. please stay awake for me," jeno said, scurrying out of the room quickly. renjun groaned while he moved slightly, eyes opening and being blinded by the white room that he was in. 

   the male had gone to go get a nurse and jeno had come to see him. that could only mean that he was at a hospital, but why? what happened that caused him to be there? how long had he been there? his thoughts were interrupted as a knowck sounded at the door. "renjun-sii," a young woman walked in with a clip board and jeno at her side.

   "hi," he said weakly, voice sounding extremely dry. "here, drink some," jeno handed him a cup of water after helping him sit up. the older took it gratefully and chugged it down. the chinese flushed when he set the cup down and noticed the two staring down at him. "now that you're awake," the nurse cleared her thraot, "i hope it's alright if we run a few tests."

   renjun's head was spinning as he nodded as his mind was clouded with questions. the nurse looked at him wearliy, "i'm sure you have a lot of question, but i would be more than happy to help answer them after the tests are done." her smile was almost convincing as she held up a syringe, but something felt wrong.

   "there's more to it, isn't there?" he asked, testing the situation. jeno and the nurse shred a nervous eye contact before brushing it off. "renjun, this will help you. it'll make the tests run smoother," he grabbed renjun's had and rubbed the back of it gently.

   although jeno was renjun's long time bestfriend and they had practically grown up together ever since they were babies, it felt umcomfortable to have someone's hand in his own if it wasn't jaemin's. 

jaemin

   renjun panicked as he tried to take the tubes and wires off of him. "what if he was waiting for me? what am i going to do? how long has it been?" he mumbled while his hands were busy at work. "renjun stop!" jeno pulled his hands away. "renjun-ssi, i need you to calm down. this will only take a second," the nurse held her syringe tight in her grip as she neared the boy in the bed.

   "no! i need to see jaemin! let me see jaemin!" he screamed at the top of his lungs, trying to push jeno away. "renjun, please calm down," jeno grabbed onto his shoulders. "where is he? where's jaemin?" hot tears began to fall on his cheeks as he thrashed around, unable to get out of jeno's grip. 

   "if you hold him down, i'll be able to put it in," the nurse said not-so-discreetly to jeno. the younger nodded and held onto renjun's wrists with one hand. his other hand was holding onto the right side of renjun's shoulder, pushing him down on the bed and making sure that he couldn't move.

   renjun sobbed and screamed at them. "let me out! i need to see him!," it hurt jeno to see his bestfriend in such a broken state but he couldn't do anything about it. "i'm sorry, renjun, i really am," he apologized. 

   the syringe entered his arm as he let out a deadly, miserable cry. "jaemin! jaemin!" he sobbed as the nurse pulled the syringe out. his energy was immediately drained and he grew tired. uo until the last second that he was awake, he called out for jaemin.

   jeno's sad and sorry eyes were the last thing he saw before everything went black for the ninth time.
