"stay still," yuta tells yeosang as he tries to clean up his face with a wet cloth "i deserved it." yeosang winced when johnny dabs the alcohol-soaked cotton pad hits the grazes that he attained on his knees after he was dragged to the ground

"you didn't deserve that yeosang and you know it." yuta assures, blowing on to the cut he had on the corner of his lip "sang, no one deserves that, especially not you." johnny cuts in, covering his grazes with band-aids, the cute ones as yeosang requested

"did you know who she was?" he nods his head, he knew it was someone from seonghwa's friend group in his university, he recognized her immediately when he sees her just a few meters away from his dorms, he expected a scolding from her but he didn't expect to get his shit kicked in 

"who was she?" yuta pressed, there was no way they were going to let this slide "it's okay hyung, i don't want to cause any more trouble, please? just leave it as it is." yeosang pleads, trying to get through his friends who were obviously more bothered than him "yeosang, we can't let this just slide." 

even though johnny was right, yeosang didn't want to cause any inconveniences in seonghwa's part, as he knew that his boyfriend wouldn't want this to happen as well 

"i just hope that he wouldn't find out." yeosang pouts, raising his arms up as yuta takes off his dirt-covered shirt to check for more abrasions or bruises, there were no wounds so thank god for that but he had some blooming bruises from when he was shoved to the ground and kicked 

"there's nothing broken, right?" johnny applies some pressure to his ribs but yeosang just shakes his head and yuta puts on a clean shirt over his body before johnny tries hooks him up to his nebulizer, he knew that deep down yeosang was struggling to breathe but he was being quiet about it but the way his chest moved was an indication 

"don't be stubborn, your breathing patterns don't lie." yeosang gives in, letting johnny put on the mask for him before he slowly lies down on the bed, groaning when he straightened his leg "you're spent, try to get some sleep, yeah?" yuta lets him lie down on a pillow that was on top of yuta's legs 

"you were so brave and strong today," yuta praises like he was a little kid but it makes yeosang giggle "i'm not a baby, hyung." johnny shakes his head "you're our baby, now, try to get some sleep." yeosang holds out his hand so he can hold yuta's hand while he slept, he wanted to feel safe even in his slumber

the silence in the room was disrupted when a distorted sound came from yuta's phone, it makes him sigh and look down at his friend "yeosang, don't freak out but," yeosang lifts his head up a bit, trying to get a peek at the phone's screen but yuta shielded him from doing so 

"something wrong?" johnny asks, halting his pats on the younger's leg "someone live streamed it." yuta growls, he didn't even want to show yeosang the video, fearing that it could give him a panic attack if he sees 

"if i could've just walked you out-" yeosang hushes johnny, giving him a soft look filled with assurance but at the same time sadness 

"we didn't know if would've happened, let's just drop it, okay?" yeosang says in a hushed tone as he closes his eyes, feeling safe under the company of his friends.

as yeosang fell asleep, johnny followed shortly, leaving yuta awake as he scrolls through his social media, he rolled his eyes every time he saw the video spreading, reporting it immediately because his friend's trauma shouldn't be exploited like this, shouldn't be spread around like gossip, it shouldn't be shared around for people to leave their narratives and speculations as to what happened.
