HIS TRUE SELF (DO YOU STILL TRUST ME?)

chapter 11

Probably your first thought should've been "oh my god" or "what the f**k is going on"-like it tend to be all the time since Hyunjin brought you here

But no, it seemed like your head was so messed up that it switched to clown- mode.

"Is this a joke?", you said- accidentally out loud. Haha. Guess I'm talking to ghosts now... what exactly did Seungmin inject me?!

You turned around- somehow annoyed at yourself... since- it couldn't be that some dead man was standing behind you, talking to you.

But actually that was exactly the case.

Cause when you turned around, it was really him standing there.

"J-Jaemin?", you whispered.

If you were really hallucinating, probably everyone would've been completely weirded out by your behavior. But Hyunjin confirmed that you were not.

"You know each other?!", he asked and looked from you to jaemin... and back to you.

"What should that mean 'we know each other!?! | THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD", although you started the sentence rather calm, you started yelling and even walked up to jaemin and grabbed his collar.

Now it was for sure; Seungmin probably gave you some drugs. Your head was spinning and going crazy... and it seemed like you had no control over your actions anymore.

"Y/n listen, I can explain... just-"

"Gosh Jaemin just shut up and leave me alone", you raised your voice, "you really think you can DIE and then suddenly come back into my life saying 'HI Y/N LET ME EXPLAIN and would listen to you? Two words Jaemin: f**k. Off."

You let go off him and walked back next to Hyunjin, who just stood there like the rest of his members and watched your uncontrolled outburst.

Not being in control over your own body was definitely not good since you may do some things that you'd regret later... but saying these things to jaemin somehow felt right... at least for now.

But what did he expect tho? That he could die and come back in your life and you'd hear him out immediately? Gosh, where were you?!

The only thing you needed right now was to escape this situation and get some rest and get to see after Hyunjin.

...who hasn't moved since you started talking to Joemin. But of course that did not mean he didn't notice your uncomfortableness and your need to get away from the situation.

You turned around to your boyfriend- or well... husband, signalising him to go, but after your first step away from the scene, someone grabbed your arm.

It was Jaemin.

And he tried to pull you back, his intentions obviously.

But still... the heck was he doing?

Before you could react in any way, Hyunjin stepped between the both of you and removed Jaemins hand from your arm.

"I would deeply recommend you to overthink that. We don't want you to get right back into your grave again, huh?", Hyunjin said dangerously.

You had no clue if Jaemin was startled by Hyunjins voice- or his appearance... maybe it was because of the growing tension in the room... but Jaemin let go off you immediately.

Hyunjin on the other hand grabbed your arm instead and pulled you with him, opening a big door that revealed a big garden.... He wanted to pull you somewhere outside?!

"Hyunjin what I have to treat you! What about your injuries?", Jeongin asked and also Chan took a step in your directions.

"Will be back in 30 mins", and with that he just pulled you outside with him, ignoring your questions where he was about to go and what the f**k he was doing.

And eventually ended up pulling you into a hammock with him.

Where? You had no idea actually- you were busy with torturing Hyunjin with questions and staring at him to make sure he'd be ok and not collapse suddenly- there was no time left to focus on your surroundings.

Not the best strategy but you couldn't change it anymore. So you just let him pull you on it and snuggled closer to him.... ignoring the strange smell of blood he was surrounded with.

"Thank you", you mumbled after hyunjin just laid there without saying anything. Making you kind of worried that he would be unconscious or something.

"What for?", he mumbled back.

"You know.... for kind of saving me from Jaemin. It was kinda uncomfortable for me in there"

"Mind telling me what happened?", he asked and you could feel his fingers touching your jaw.

You took a deep breath and closed your eyes for a second. Time to talk about it.

"There's nothing much to tell. Jaemin and were good friends- got to know each other through some other friend of us- and one day, after we both did something together, his mom called me telling me he got into a car crash. Hyunjin was on his funeral.... I- even saw his DEAD BODY"

Of course there was a lot to tell more. A lot more details to give him. But you weren't interested in it at all. You still had to proceed your shock.

Hyunjin was listening to you attentively, not saying a word, just stroking your cheek and playing with your hair.

"Don't talk to him", he advised you.

"TI?!", you blurted out loud and looked at him.

"We'll talk this out tomorrow. You need sleep"

"I need sleep?! I was unconscious for quite a while before woke up tied on a chair and saw you being half human remains"

He gasped. "You can't control yourself anymore. Let's go you filthy mouth!"

You poked his rib, making him flinch and whine in pain.

It was a mystery how he managed to do it but he could make you laugh and feel loved every single time. No. matter what.

Arriving back at the mansion, Hyunjin swung the door opened but stopped in his tracks immediately.

Confused by his sudden stop you wanted to walk up and stand next to him to find out about the reason, but he pulled you behind him. Grabbing your arm tightly so you weren't able to move.

His whole body language showed tension and alertness and... worry?

The whole room was silent and every breath could be heard.

Until Hyunjin spoke up.

"Mikyeong."
