So I’ve finally been released from the hospital.

Finally.
Cause, if I stayed there for more than a week, I think I would’ve gone insane.
I mean, it’s horrible being in a building where it’s nothing but sick and injured people walking all over the place...
I just feel so sorry for them...
And that’s why I feel so lucky to have a minor flesh wound and nothing else.
And I’m thankful that I can leave the hospital already...whereas some of the people in here have been here for days, weeks, months...maybe even years...
And they’re still not allowed to leave...
So, I’m thankful that I can leave already...

I got back to the dorm, and all the members were absolutely relieved to see that I’m recovering just fine.
They did visit me, but then their schedule made them fly to Japan for the rest of the week, so they were worried as to how I was doing.
They called and texted of course, but they were still worried...
Especially Leo....
I just reassured them that I was fine.
They actually got back to Korea, the day I was getting out the hospital...so we didn’t miss anymore days together...
They got up, hugged me and asked me if there was anything I wanted, and I just said I was ok...for now...
Leo was the last one to hug me...
He was in tears..
Not again...
He wrapped his arms around me in a loose hug, that slowly got tighter and tighter.
To the point that I couldn’t really breath anymore...
He let go when he noticed that my lungs had partially stopped moving, and looked me in the eyes with a look that said, ‘happy you’re back’,while whispering,
“Welcome home...”
The sweetness of this boy is just too much...
I crush him in a hug too, that makes him stumble back from suprise, but he soon returns it.
I then whisper,
“Happy to be back...” my smile growing every moment.
We finally let go, and than stare at each other, with shy looks and grins...
Before bursting out with laughter.
The other members just get bored of our little parade, and N breaks it apart by clearing his throat and saying,
“Ehm....so Red..we decided to celebrate your coming back, with a movie night, with the movie of your choice...care to come and take a look, and choose one?” he looks tired, but he still smiles, and beckons me over to the table with a stack of DVDs.
I give Leo one last grin, and walk over.

I chose the scariest movie I could find, and made some pop-corn for us.
We all snuggled up on the pretty lilac sofa, and munched on our pop-corn with chattering jaws, while watching...
I kind of wished I had chosen a comedy instead...
Because even though I watched the movie before, and I knew when jump scares and creepy scenes were coming on, the guys just screamed so much, that it made me feel scared all over again.
But it was pretty fun.
But short.
The movie was over in less than 2 hours, and we were all dissapointed.
So...
We decided to watch another movie...
This time, Ravi was gonna choose what to watch.
He sat there looking through the pile for a good 10 minutes.
But in the end...
He said that he preffered to watch a variety show on T.V.
We agreed....
After Horror, it’s good to watch something funny to lighten up the mood...
So Variety Show it is...
Specifically Running Man...
Everyone’s favorite.
So we watched and laughed our heads off, I made some more pop-corn...
And before we realized, it was all over again....
And then the news came on. Bummer.
But something caught my eye, the second before Ken switched the T.V. off.

The words EXO...and...

Kris.

I immediately ran on the sofa, grabbed the remote right out of Ken’s grasp, and switched it back on.
They were still there.
Those 2 words.
What did they do?
I let the news man explain :

“EXO fans have been in a uproar ever since, EXO-M’s leader, Wu Yi Fan, otherwise known as Kris, left the concert location shortly after receiving a message that one of his friends was in hospital for being shot. He left the location minutes before the show begun, and the other members of the group where put in a panic as to where he had gone, and as a result, the concert had to be cancelled. Contacts say that the friend Mr. Wu visited, was the fan who won the KPOP VACATION competition a couple months ago, Mr. Namja Chang. Mr. Chang was reported to have been shot but is now fully recovered, and back on schedule with the competition, now staying with boy group VIXX. Mr. Wu has resumed his group’s schedules as well, but the fans want answers as to why he would cancel a whole show, just to go and see Mr.Chang.
What do you think?
Now in other news-”

And all the while he was reporting, the screen showed videos and picturees of Kris leaving the stadium, fans going absolutely red with fury, and a lot of them attacking and protesting outside the SM Building, and....
Jellyfish Entertainment Building...
That’s where we are right now.
Me and the boys stood still...
Afraid the crazy EXO-Ls might attack and pillage if they find out we’re here...
Especially me...
They’re gonna rip me alive...
The video and pictures showed that they’re outside the building...
So, I test my luck, and go out on the balcony...
And what do you know...
The fans are actually there.
Holding posters, banners and....
Rocks.
And they’re all shouting and screaming...
But I don’t understand a word of it....
But, taking a glance at what the banners actually say, clear their voices in seconds...

The banners say :
WHERE IS KRIS?
WHAT ARE YOU HIDING?
WE WANT ANSWERS!!!
WHO ARE YOU REALLY, RED!!?
And they’re all chanting,
“WE WANT ANSWERS!!! WE WANT ANSWERS!!!”
And to make things a hell lot worse...
They start throwing rocks at me...
Luckily, they miss me...
But not the balcony windows....
I watch in horror as it shatters and crashes to the ground, with the most sickening sounds I have ever heard...
That’s when I realize that, that could be my head, if I stand here any longer.

I run inside and lock myself in my room.
I sit on the carpet with my back against the door, wondering what I did wrong to deserve this....
Is it...

Is it because I fell in love?
I hear soft knocks on my door.
“Red...? Are you...ok?” a soft and relaxing voice cooed.
It’s Leo.
The other members probably sent him, because we’re such good friends, and so I might talk to him.
I can just imagine their scared and worrying faces.
I wipe away my fresh tears, and clear my throat while answering back, with a scared and broken down voice,
“Yes...I’m fine.”
“...Are you sure? You don’t sound like it....”
I sniff, and take a deep breath, trying to calm my voice.
“I’m fine...I just....need some time alone...to think...please...”
Please...just leave me alone...
I need to decide if I can put up with this...
With Kris....
and me.....
“Red...I know you’re not ok....and I think that talking about you’re problem, will make you feel better. But, if you really don’t want to talk about it...then that’s ok with me. You can talk when you’re ready.”
His voice is so calm and understanding...
Maybe I will feel better if I just talk about it....
Leo will understand...
Right?
“Wait!!! .....ok...I’ll talk....” I scream to him from behind the door.
“...thank you. ...I’m listening.” he says thankfully, after a short silence.
Here goes everything....
My reputation....
My maturity...
Everything....
But I don’t care.
Someone’s gonna find out sooner or later, right?
I’m gonna tell him about Kris.
I take the deepest breath I took in hours, and start off.
“Well you see...Leo....me and Kris are....a-are....”
I can’t say it.
It’s as if the word has been written off my tounge for good.
I forgot how to pronounce it, say it....even what it sounds like...
“....In love?”
What....
That..
T-That didn’t...
Come from my mouth.
Leo?
“....you, y-you....knew?” I stutter horribly.
How did he know?
“Of course. I’m not stupid. ...I saw the way he was looking at me and you, when he saw us hugging. I was genually scared for my life.....he loves you. With a passion. ....and don’t let the fans separate you. You’ll regret it.” he says with a sigh, and slightly cheerful voice.
So he knew...
Well, I guess there’s no reason to hide myself anymore.
I open the door, and swing into his chest, while sobbing quite painfully.
And I don’t even know why.
He just puts his hand on my head and soothes me, by stroking my hair.
“Shh....it’s ok.... Do you want me to sleep with you tonight, just in case you get attacked?”
he asks with a concerned but playful voice.
But I’m dead serious, when I start nodding.
Those fans scare me.
If they have the guts to throw rocks at me, and break one of my balcony windows, then who knows what else they’re capable of doing?
They might climb up the balcony and....stab me..
Choke me...
Maybe even kidnap me for answers....
A shiver goes down my spine while thinking about those horrible scenarios, that I really don’t want to be in...
Leo just comes into the room and helps me clean up the glass, before getting up, locking the door, closing and locking the balcony windows and doors and locking and drawing the curtains of every single window in the room.
It’s dark...
But I feel safe when Leo comes and puts his arms around me from behind.
We eventually both dose off to sleep.
Both in each others arms.
Both warm.
Both safe.
While the members start nagging at the door, wanting answers.
Out there in the cold, bright hallway.
We just ignored them, and continued our slumber.
While the fans...

Just kept on getting more and more dangerous...
