The way which the wind blows

Sehun’s POV
This day couldn’t get any better. Right now I am sitting on the local bench and eating cotton candy with (Y/N). She rips off tiny pieces and places them in her mouth. I realize that I am smiling. What is it about (Y/N) that makes me so happy? Just being with her makes me feel so much more positive. I feel a vibration on my leg. I reach into the pocket of my jeans and take out my phone. The caller ID shows Joonmyun so I answer. “What’s up Joonmyun? I’m kind of on a date so if it’s not urgent I’ll be mad.” He knows I’m joking. But he doesn’t answer in the way I hoped he would. I hear something faint on the other end of the phone. Sobbing? Crying? “Ey Joonmyun.” I say. “What’s wrong?” I get an answer from Baekhyun. “Jongin and Chanyeol are going to the hospital! They were in a car accident.” Says Baekhyun between hiccups. I stand up. Unable to comprehend what was heard. “What?” I stammer. “Come to Seoul Hospital now.” He cries. “We’ll meet you there.” With that he hung up. What? What is happening? Chanyeol. Jongin. My thoughts are broken by (Y/N)’s voice. “What’s the matter?” she asks in a honey-coated voice. I turn to her, keeping my head facing down so she can’t see my tears. “I have to go to Seoul hospital.” I choke. “What what’s wrong?” she asks coming towards me. When I don’t answer she takes my hand in hers. “Seoul hospital is not far from here. It’ll be too long by bus so we can run there.” She says. She leads me out of the gate and we break into a sprint. Still holding onto my hand, she leads the way to Seoul hospital, even though I know the way. I’m glad that she is leading, so she can’t see these unmanly tears. I wipe them with my sleeve as we run. Chanyeol, Jongin, I’m coming, wait for me.

Luhan’s POV
We see them bolting towards us, both (Y/N) and Sehun. “We’re here.” She breathes. The Exo members were waiting for Sehun to arrive, not that he has we walk into the building. “Their parents are already inside. We were waiting for you.” I say to Sehun. “Thank you.” I look over at Tao and Joonmyun, their eyes are red and puffy. I can’t blame them for crying so much. No body can. We walk into Jongin’s room first, room 201 and see his parents. They’re crying more that Tao and Joonmyun have. His mum kneels on the floor and her head lay buried in the bed where Jongin lies. Her cries muffled by the bed sheets. His father, sits silently on the chair next to the bed, his eyes trained on his son, he looks so depressed. “Hello Mr and Mrs Kim.” I say softly. They look up at us. His mum wipes her tears with her hand and attempts a smile. “Hello boys.” She says in a shaky voice. We accompany them in Jongin’s hospital room. “What did the doctors say?” asks Kyungsoo. “I don’t know, hasn’t told us yet.” She replies. At that moment, the doctor appears at the door. He is a tall man with round glasses. “Mr and Mrs Kim.” He says. “And you must be Jongin’s friends.” We nod. He exhales long and sad. “I’m afraid that your son’s skull is fractured and there is swelling and tearing of some tissue in his brain. This is called head trauma.” He states. “What does this mean?” Jongin’s mum sobs. “It means he’s in a coma.” Gasps Sehun. Everyone in the room stares at the doctor, tears welling up in everyone’s eyes. I peek at (Y/N), her eyes are also glossy. I see her grasp on Sehun’s hand tighten and I look away. There is a sudden scream from the room next door. A familiar voice. “My baby!” she screams “My baby Chanyeol! NO!” The Exo members and (Y/N) rush over to room 202 where Chanyeol’s mum is being held back by nurses as she tries to clamber back into Chanyeol’s hospital room. “Mrs Park! Calm down.” I try to calm her down. She clings on to me. “Chanyeol!” she howls. She drops to her knees. “Chanyeol.” Next we see Taeyeol being dragged out of the room by his dad. “Chanyeol!” he screams like his mum. The dad’s face is ridden with tears but his strength doesn’t fail him when he pulls the frantic Taeyeol from the room. Kwonyeol soon follows, silently. “Mum!” cries Taeyeol. He scrambles towards her and they embrace. Their cries ring through the hospital halls. “Chanyeol died instantly.” Whispers Kwonyeol. Everything in my mind turns blank. Chanyeol. Dead? How can this be? Everyone breaks into tears. Sehun falls back into (Y/N)’s arms. Although I am weak from confusion, I help her set him against the wall. It must be hard for Sehun as well as Chanyeol’s family. It seems like everyone he cares about are leaving him. “That damn drunk driver. I’ll kill him!” shouts Chanyeol’s mum as she goes into another outrage. Trying to claw her way back into her son’s room, trying to grab onto his lifeless body, trying to find warmth. How could all of this have happened?
