It was four weeks after Daewon told his members about this past trauma, it was late at night and Daewon stayed late in the practice room to make sure his movements were flawless for Black In Black.
The young boy was walking back to the dorms after finishing his practice. He was sure Taeyong would wait for him, the leader has been more and more protective about the boy after hearing his story. They all have been more protective, even the younger ones kept an eye on him every time.
He knew it wasn't against him, they were just worried after all. It wasn't common to hear such a story for them, so that day when Daewon went to bed at night, they all made a promise to always keep an eye on him.
As he was walking, Daewon suddenly raised his head up, looking around him. He felt weird, like someone was looking at him, he felt being watched and he started to feel scared.
"Okay Dae, you're just tired, it's your imagination." He mutters to himself, looking around carefully.
The black haired boy started to walk again, keeping his arms around himself and walking at a fast pace. His phone rang, a text showing on his screen. Daewon couldn't help but smile at Mark's text asking when he'll be home, his fingers typed quickly an answer as he went faster to go home.
At some point the boy felt terrified, he started running until he reached the dorms, climbing the stairs two by two to arrive home. He could feel his heart beating too fast, his hands were shaking and he felt like he was going to throw up.
"Daewon you're fi-" Mark exclaimed but stop seeing him shaking "Hey you're okay ?" He asks frowning before coming closer.
"Hyung" Daewon muttered before throwing himself into his bestfriend's arms.
Mark felt Daewon shaking into his embrace, everyone was asleep and the rapper was waiting for his best friend. He couldn't help but frown and started to questions himself if his friend was fine.
"What happened Dae ?" He asks calmly, looking at his face and scanning every details.
"I-I" he started to says before breaking down into tears, his loud sobs echoing into the dorm.
The rapper didn't hesitated, he just took his best friend in his arms and guided him into the kitchen. Daewon couldn't stop crying and shaking, he felt like he was trapped again in everything. He felt like the worst thing was going to happen.
As the boy was crying and wasn't able to stop, the others started to wake up alerted by the loud noises they could hear.
"What is-" Johnny came rubbing his eyes to see the two young boys "Daewon ?!" He exclaimed before running towards the younger boy.
The older one immediately took him in his arms, asking him to closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. Mark ran towards the bathroom to take a cloth and water it. Everyone was looking at the boy, crying in the Chicago boy's arms.
It took fifteen minutes to calm him down, the boy was still shaking and only sniffles could be heard as he was in Taeil's arms. Doyoung was rubbing his back and Jisung came with his favorite plushie, putting it in his arms to help him being calm.
"Is hyung going to be okay ?" Renjun asked looking at Yukhei who was clearly worried.
"I don't know Junie." He answers.
"Won?" Sicheng calls him taking his hands "What happened ?"
"I don't know.." he mumbles tiredly.
"Daewon, don't start like this. You don't come back home shaking and crying like this without knowing.." Jaehyun says looking at him with a frown, he was worried for him.
"I felt like I was being watched at first and then I felt like I was followed." He explains.
They all knew about his fears of feeling unsafe, like he was constantly watched and followed. They just never saw the boy breaking down like this before.
"It's been a month you told us about your past. Two days after you told us your fears of feeling unsafe." Jaemin resumes trying to wrap it in his head.
"Maybe I was just tired, I practiced late." Daewon tells looking at them.
"Hyung, even if you are tired, even it's paranoia we are here." Donghyuck says, giving him a small smile.
The room became silent after it, they didn't know what to feel or to think. They couldn't help but to think about the worst, thinking that maybe it wasn't just paranoia.
"You know what ? Let's get to bed, everyone is tired and we have a lot of work after tomorrow. Let's rest a lot." Taeyong says before they all listened to him.
Daewon went to take a shower, the hot water relaxing his muscles. He took care of himself for some minutes before going out of the bathroom. Taeyong was in the kitchen talking with some of the boys, concerned about the young boy. The leader followed the young boy into his room, helping him going to bed.
"Hyung?" Daewon calls him.
"Yes ? Do you need anything ?" He asks gently.
"Can you let the light on ?"
Taeyong nodded before joining Yuta and Ten outside his room. The three talked before Yuta came into the room.
"Hey." He whispers to the younger one.
"Hey hyung."
"Can you make some space for me ?" He asks gently.
Daewon didn't understand why but he did. Yuta slid into the bed, next to him and lay down. The Japanese boy started to caresses the young boy's hair to soothe him.
He looked at the boy's eyes closing, smiling as he watched him being calm.
"I'll always keep an eye on you Daewon. I'm not leaving and no one will lay a finger on you." He said, promising himself.
Ten came up later, checking on the boy asleep in Yuta's arms, he smiled at the Japanese boy who looked at him.
"I'm turning the light off." He says before kissing Dae's temple.
The Thaï boy left the room, leaving Yuta falling asleep too.
They couldn't know if it was paranoia for Daewon but one thing was sure, maybe he wasn't completely safe anymore as a silhouette looked at the building before leaving.
