"Feeling better?", Renjun sat on the floor next to me. He had to give me stitches yesterday.
"Eh", I shrugged, "I've been better"
"The pain's gonna last a few weeks", Renjun explained, "But hey, you're still alive"
I nodded. "I just really can't believe that we had to run into Kai. Like, what are the chances?"
The apartment door swung open.
"Jiwoo, are you alright?", it was Jeno, "Jaemin said you had to get stitches"
"I'm fine"
"I heard the wound was pretty bad...", he looked at me.
"Its getting better", I tried to smile, "Renjun did a good job"
"Ok, good...", he stopped for a second, "You want anything? Like a drink?"
"Nah, I'm fine"
"We have coke...", he said.
"We have coke?!", Chenle's head shot up from his phone.
"Not for you", Jeno glared.
"Its alright.", I chuckled, but it hurt my chest because of the bullet wound, "Thanks, though"
Jeno just nodded. "You good?", he asked, "You seem a little...upset"
"Its nothing", I sat up a little, "I'm just trying to get over yesterday"
"Kai didn't say anything stupid, did he?"
"No...", I sighed, "He just...said a couple things that weren't so stupid"
"Like?"
"Well, he reminded me that I have a contract signed with EXO..."
"You're not actually letting that bother you..."
"I'm trying not to", I ran my hands through my hair, "Its a little hard, though. Everything's so screwed up"
"Well", Jeno shoved his hands in his pockets, "If it makes it any better, Jaemin's out getting help right now"
Help? What "help"?
"Huh?", I raised my eyebrow.
We didn't need help. We have seven people. I just got here, and now I had to deal with more people in this small apartment?
"We have a few...friends", Jeno said, "They agreed to help us figure out this EXO thing"
"You'll like them", Renjun said.
"But, I-", I couldn't find words, "Why now?"
"The whole 'EXO thing' isn't getting any better", Jeno's face grew serious, "Its just getting worse"
"Its alright", Renjun walked over to the fridge and grabbed a drink, "Jaemin's girlfriend gets the job done"
"Jaemin's girlfriend"? Jaemin had a girlfriend?!
I was so confused.
"Jaemin has a girlfr--?", I started.
The door opened again.
"I'm back", Jaemin walked in with a group of new faces.
"This is ITZY", Jeno told me. He started pointing out who was who, but I didn't listen.
"Who's Jaemin's girlfriend?", I interrupted him.
"Ryujin. Why do you care about that so much?"
Maybe I did care a little bit.
