"Yoohyeoh? Wake up~"

..

"Kim Yoohyeon~ Hello?"

..

"YOOHYEON!"

I suddenly was wide awake from my sleep and a concerned Yoojung was shaking my body to wake up.

"Huh..? Yoojung?"

"Finally! I was calling your name for a whole minute now! What happened to your wound? It's open again!"

"It's all good Yoojung, I'll just stitch it myself."

"You what now? Let's take you back to the hospital and let the actual doctors stitch you up. And your eyes are so swollen, did you cry? It must've hurt.."

"*mumble* You fucking bet it did.."

"Huh?"

"Nothing. Let's just go."

I got up from the couch and straight to his car without saying anything.

The ride to the hospital was just Yoojung talking about his day and how he got promoted. I was trying to sound happy for him but I was feeling so off that I didn't listen to most of the things he was saying.

"Did you practice the song?"

"What song?"

"For the performance? Yoohyeon are you sure everything is okay?"

"Yes Yoojung, don't worry so much. It's just that I had a really tiring day in school."

"You know you can tell me everything, right?"

"I know.. But it's really fine."

He didn't say anything after that because he felt I was getting annoyed, even tho I wasn't. I liked it that he cared for me. I just wanted to go back home as soon as possible and do nothing for the whole day. This feeling sucks so much..

The doctors stitched me up and one of the nurses there sensed something was wrong with me. but it was their policy to not get too deep into the patient's problems. Though, she really seemed to be worried for some reason.

"Mrs. Kim, would you like an antidepressant to feel relaxed and calm down a little?"

"But.. they weren't prescribed to me. You might get in trouble if you get caught, nurse."

"I know, but it's obvious you're going through something. I was like you some time ago and I can sense a troubled person that needs some relaxation. Just take these and stay calmed for some time, you need it."

"*sigh* I guess it was obvious, wasn't it? Thank you.."

I took the antidepressant and got up to walk around to see if my wound still hurts. It didn't for now, so I went to the cafeteria to get something to drink and I was really surprised to see Chaewon there. She happily waved when she saw me and noticed the wound I had on my stomach.

"Oh my god! Yoohyeon, what happened- Wait, were you the one that got into that fight in school?"

"Yeah.. and my wound opened up so I had to get it stitched again. But, why are you here?"
