all of them froze on their spot seeing haerin. alive. and looking at them with her natural violet eyes. she tilted her head with her furrowed eyebrows.
"haerin.. you're finally awake" taeyong said. she remained silent. the room felt kind of tensed and the others who just arrived noticed that.
"okay so.. why are you guys.. sad?" johnny asked and he himself was confused by the situation. won't they supposed to be happy when they see haerin had woken up from her comatose state?
lucas bit his lower lip fighting his tears to come out. mark stared blankly at the older guys who just came. donghyuck on the other hand looked emotionless as he stood there unmoving. yangyang let out a little sigh.
"what's wrong?" taeil had both of his eyebrows raised.
"who are these guys?" haerin finally asked as she turned her attention towards lucas. he shot his head up and their gaze met.
"huh? haerin.. it's us" doyoung said. eunbi gasped as she covered her mouth with her right hand. "don't tell me she's.."
"i'm sorry but i don't know you guys" when haerin said that the aura suddenly dropped. they couldn't believe what she just said.
"there's no way. haerin this is nct. you're a part of our gang" this time hendery tried to talk. she shook her head and a frown appeared.
"that's what they said" she mumbled.
"we told her already. the doctor said that she had a slight amnesia" mark said monotone.
all of them became silent and haerin didn't bother to say anything as she's comfortable that way. she fiddled with her fingers and stared at the white blanket that was covering her legs. she leaned back with a stressed looking face.
when it was all serious suddenly they heard a soft chuckle. turning their attention towards the voice they saw donghyuck laughed loudly as he slapped mark on the back a lot of times.
"wait. what's happening?" taeyong asked as his left brow rose upwards. then haerin laughed along with donghyuck. her eyes almost closed as she was laughing to her hearts contents.
"you should've seen your faces!" lucas highfived mark. donghyuck were on the floor still laughing as he kicked the air. yangyang chuckled revealing his gummy smile.
"oh my god don't tell me all of them had gone crazy" yuta muttered.
"all of you were literally got pranked" yangyang said. haerin stopped laughing and she showed them her brightest smile.
"i don't lost my memories. of course i remember you guys" haerin said. eunbi walked to her side and she wrapped her arms around haerin's neck.
"she even pranked us earlier" mark said
"oh my god.. i can't believe i got pranked by these kids. i should've known" taeyong rubbed his temples but then he smiled as his eyes softened. he's relieved that she's okay.
lucas pouted as he grabbed her hands squeezing it. "i missed you, haerin" he mumbled. "hey! you're not the only one who had missed her" donghyuck scoffed and he looked away.
"you know, donghyuck didn't bring his grenades around anymore"
"no wonder he looked kind of.. different" she mumbled. "if you want me to walk around with those bombs i'll gladly do it" he beamed with a smile. a soft chuckle escaped her lips.
she's in the gang for only a short moment but they feel like a family to her.
"oh right. where's the other dreamies?" her eyebrows furrowed noticing that the younger guys aside from donghyuck wasn't there.
"well they said they'll stay. they tried to bring jisung out but he doesn't want to come out from his room" winwin explained.
"jisung?"

"wait. is this really haerin? if she's a ghost i don't know if i had to run or-"
"it's me jeno" haerin chuckled and the guy ran to hug her. another strong arm wrapped around both of them. it was jaemin. "should i join or wait till it's my turn" renjun appeared and finally joining them.
"haerin! oh my god! group hugs!" chenle screamed as he ran towards them. she felt like they were crushing her body and she could barely breath.
"guys. let the girl breath" jungwoo said and all of them broke the hug. "haerin.. jisung-"
"i know" she gave them a small smile before going up the stairs. the hallway seem quiet as she was on her way towards the younger guy's room. she halted when a loud crash were heard. she widened her eyes as she quickened her pace.
arriving in front of the door another crash were heard. her heart were beating fast. she twisted the knob and went inside the dark room. she could see the room were a bit messy. jisung were standing in the middle of the room ready to throw the table lamp.
"get out" he grumbled not even looking back. she closed the door behind her and slowly walking up towards him. "i said get ou--" when he turned around his eyes widened slightly. dropping the lamp that was in his hands he stood there frozen on his spot.
"haerin..?" his voice were deep but she felt his gaze softened.
"i'm back jisung" she smiled. tears flooding his eyes and he ran towards her embracing her tight. he buried his face onto her neck as tears streamed down his face. she hugged him back and rubbed circles on his back.
"i.. i thought you" he stopped when she shushed him. "i'm sorry, jisung" haerin whispered.
jisung tightened the hug and he shook his head his face still buried on her neck. "i should've done a better job.. at protecting you. i failed myself. and the thought of you dying there made feel more useless. you shouldn't see me when i'm in this state haerin. i've changed.." he trailed off. she stayed silent hearing him let out all of the things in his chest. she knew what he meant by changed. the others had told her earlier at the hospital.
she slowly broke the hug and cupped jisung's face as her thumb wiped the remaining tears on his cheeks. "you're still the same park jisung to me" she smiled. he felt like crying again.
"i'm here jisung. don't blame yourself. if you hadn't come there to save me the others wouldn't know where the location is. don't cry." he looked vulnerable to her eyes. haerin hugged him again.
"i must looked stupid right now" he mumbled. "no. you looked rather cute" she chuckled.
he could feel his heart started racing. but this time not because of anger. he don't know what it was but he liked it.
she's the only one who can make him feel like that.
