"I NEED A NURSE. SHE FLATLINED!"

Felix yelled, hitting the 'call nurse' button three times. His heart raced in his chest, the everlasting beep of the heart machine blurring his thinking.

She was dying.

"Fuck- Kara, hang in there.." Felix said through gritted teeth, looking around the small room eagerly.

There was nothing.

"Gabs' going to kill me for this.." Felix grumbled, placing his hands on Kara's chest, pushing down.

"One.. two.. three.." He grumbled, performing CPR as he waited for the nurses.

"..twenty eight.. twenty nine.. thirty.." Felix pushed, placing his lips onto the girls and blowing two, long breaths, weakly attempting to start her heart again.

He pushed down again, another thirty compressions, placing his lips back onto hers and blowing for another two, heavy breaths.

"Come on.. where the fuck are the nurses.." he grumbled, removing his hands from Kara's chest and towards her neck.
He felt her pulse, desperate for even a slight throb of her heart.

It was faint, but it was there. But it was also faltering.

The sound of footsteps and wheels from outside the room made Felix step back in surprise, turning towards the door of the room.

"Thank fuck.." Felix sighed as the nurses finally came rushing in, a medicinal trolley accompanying them with a defibrillator.

Felix stood up and walked out of the room, body shaking.

"That was way too close.." He sighed, covering his face with his hands. "Why'd the nurses take so long though..."

Holding his phone in a shaking hand, he went to call Gabs again before pausing.

What if the nurses lose her.
What if Kara actually dies...

Maybe it's best to just wait...

Felix scrolled through his contacts, dialling Bang Chan instead.

Bang Chan picked up, excusing himself from the table where Y/N, Gabs, and the other members were.

"Yeah Felix?" Bang Chan said as soon as he picked up.
"Kara flatlined. I think she'll be okay.. but one thing confuses me. The nurses took way too long to get here. There should always be nurses nearby. If I wasn't here she would've died." Felix rambled on, his voice shaking.
"That's something.. we'll look into it. How come you called me and not Gabs?" Bang Chan questioned, lowering his voice so Gabs didn't overhear.
"Well.. I don't want her worrying. She deserves this night out, no point ruining it. Plus, we don't even know if Kara will be okay."
"She'll be alright. If she had a pulse the nurses will be able to help." Bang Chan reassured.
"Thank you hyung. Please, when you get back, can you hide this from Gabs? Just for a bit. She'll have my head for even touching Kara, you know how she's like." Felix chuckled slightly.
"Yeah, of course. Go home and get some rest Felix. I'll send Jackson to watch her." Bang Chan said, worry laced into his voice.
"But-"
"No buts. Go home." Bang Chan said, before hanging up and sending a quick message to Jackson.

He then returned to the table with everyone else.
Y/N tilted her head, confusion visible in her face.
"Who was that?" You asked, noticing the slight misery on Bang Chans face.
"Just some people from work. Guess I'll be working overtime." Bang Chan lied.

Gabs raised an eyebrow, but didn't ask any questions.

"Oh, alright." You said, finishing your food and pushing your plate forward, wiping your face with a napkin.

"Anyway, y/n, you got plans for this weekend? I'd love to go shopping with you!" Gabs smiled, tugging on y/n's sleeve.

"Count me in! I need new shoes." Jisung exclaimed.

"You have enough as it is!" Hyunjin said, poking his tongue out. "I'll come with."

"Same, I need to buy Soongi, Doongi and Dori more toys." Minho spoke up.

"Who..?" You questioned, turning to face the boy.

"Soongi, Doongi and Dori. My cats.." Minho said, showing Y/N a photo from his phone.

"You have.. cats?" Y/N asked, scrunching her face in confusion. He didn't seem like the kind to have pets.

"Yeah, of course I do! Do I not seem responsible enough?" Minho grumbled, glaring at Y/N.

"No.. it's just.. never mind." Y/N responded, checking her phone.

Still nothing from Ji Woo. Must be busy with Taehyung.

A question lingered in Y/N's mind.

She had seven of eight of the boys here anyway.

Might as well ask.

"Hey.. I have a question." You began, fiddling with your hands.

"Go on.." Bang Chan pushed, leaning forward at the uncertainty in the girls voice.

"Why do you guys and Jungkook, Jimin and Taehyung not get along?" You asked, keeping your head down.

You felt their eyes bore into your head, anger radiating slightly from the boys at the mention of.. them.

"Oh.. Jungkook and his friends..?" Gabs begun, shaking away the annoyed expression and replacing it with its usual goofy smile. "They used to bully some of us back in middle school, so we don't get along. That's all." She said, breaking the tense silence that had filled the once lively atmosphere.

"Yeah, since most of them are older and all. It's nothing much." Seungmin shrugged, taking a sip of his drink.

You looked back up, seeing everyone's normal smiling expressions were back.

Just bullies huh..

"Ah, I see. Fair enough I suppose." You responded.

"Is everyone done? I think it's time we head home. We have school tomorrow and all." Hyunjin yawned, standing up and stretching his arms out.

"Yeah, it's time for us to head home." Bang Chan said, standing up as well.

The waiter came around, handing the bill to Gabs.

You looked over her shoulder, tensing at the amount.

Dining for nine sure was expensive.

"Alright, I'm covering the bill this time." Jisung said, snatching the bill from Gabs' hands and scanning his card, paying for the meal.

"It's Hyunjin's turn next I believe." Jeongin said, sliding his coat back on.

"What- no! It's your turn next!" Hyunjin grumbled dramatically, glaring at Jeongin.

"Uh, no. You've got it all wrong my dear friend." Jeongin smiled, patting Hyunjin on the back as he headed out to the car.

You followed, cramming back into the backseat with Seungmin and Jisung at your sides, Jeongin sitting shotgun this time.

The drive back to your house went by quickly.

You jumped out, bowing the the boys and Gabs.
"I had a lovely night. Thank you." You smiled.

"Anytime." Seungmin grinned.

You turned and walked back inside, the eerie silence making your heart skip a beat.

Well, I guess Ji Woo was staying the night with Taehyung then.

You wandered upstairs, running a steamy shower and washing before collapsing into bed, staring at the pale ceiling.

Tonight was fun.

But some things were still unanswered.

What's this whole Stray Kids and BTS carry on?
Does Gabs know about that?
Is Kara okay?

Well, that last question you can answer yourself when you visit her tomorrow.

But the other two.. well, that's difficult.

Guess the answers will be revealed in time.

You began to feel sleep take over, your eyelids drooping as you slipped into slumber.

Stray Kids' household
Felix lay in his bed, twisting and turning uncomfortably. The nurses.. they should've been there quicker. But they weren't.

He heard the lock on the door click, noisy voices filling the halls as the other members arrived back home.

"If only we weren't in this mafia business, maybe you guys could've became idols. Like seriously, your voices are perfect." Gabs gushed, sprawling out on the couch.

"Yeah, maybe.. but that's not the path we've taken sooo.." Jisung answered, laying on the other couch, stretching out.

"God, you guys are taking up the entire couch! Where are we gonna sit!?" Minho complained, eyeing Gabs.

"The floor, duh." Gabs responded, poking her tongue out. She sat up properly, patting the seat next to her as Bang Chan sat next to her, Seungmin and at his side.

Jisung sat up properly, Changbin, Jeongin and Minho sitting around him.

Hyunjin sat on a separate arm chair, popping the recliner out and stretching out.

"How come the alarm wasn't on when we got back..?" Gabs questioned warily, suddenly realising someone could've broken in.

"Felix came home. Don't worry, Jackson's watching Kara for the night. He needs some rest." Bang Chan responded calmly.

"Ah, that's alright then." Gabs smiled. Jackson was lovely, so him watching Kara for the night was fine.

Felix came out of his room, rubbing his eyes tiredly.

"Oh, hey Felix." Seungmin smiled, looking up as the boy wandered tiredly from the hall.

"Hey Seungmin.." he yawned, sitting on another recliner sprawled in the living room.

"Hey, have you been missing out sleeping? You've got dark circles." Hyunjin examined, leaning over to look at Felix.

"Yeah, I guess I have.." Felix yawned, closing his eyes and leaning back.

"Felix, go sleep." Bang Chan ordered, looking at the younger boy with a stern but worried expression.

"I can't sleep though.." Felix mumbled, looking away from Bang Chans eyes.

"You look like a zombie so I'm sure you can." Jisung chuckled.

"Yeah yeah, alright." Felix chuckled stiffly, getting up and heading back to his room.

Gabs yawned, standing up and heading to her own room herself.

Bang Chan sat up straight, looking around the living room.

"Alright, let's talk."
