The car pulls over and Minho runs out in an instance "Jieun. What the hell happened??" He picks up Squirrely and he freezes for a moment.
"Why is he so light??" Minho looks at me with confusion written all over his face. It didn't take them long to get here, not even a minute actually. So I am still sitting on the ground trying to breathe.
"I don't know. Place him in the car we should get going" Seungmin opens the door and Minho sits Squirrely on the back seat. I slowly get up my ankle still hurting like hell. The hit probably wasn't that bad but caring Squirrely finished the job. I don't even want to look down at it but I'm pretty sure it will pass fast.
I jump on one leg toward the car door not wanting to put any pressure on it and as I do that I feel Minho's gaze burning through me.
"What the hell happened" He asked once again but I just shake him off with a single wave with my hand. I don't even want to remember what happened. For a second back there I thought that I actually won't be able to get him out. I also didn't want to knock anyone out, not the hospital is not even supervised. If something happens to one of the patients, it's going to be my fault.
"I'll really explain but first let's just go. Please" I say as I sit on the back seat next to Squirrely. Seungmin is already siting behind the wheel ready to drive off and eventually Minho gets in as well.
"Look at the notebooks. Just open one it doesn't mater which one" I say as I hand him my backpack. He takes it with a curious look and I hear the zipper open. As he starts listing one of the notebooks he quickly takes another one and another one. Even Seungmin's eyes wander to the notebooks and he can't hide the surprise on his face.
"What the fuck..." Minho lets out as he opens every single notebook that was in my backpack. "What is this??" He asks as his eyes keep observing the lines and dots on the paper.
"I have no idea. But let's not judge to fast. He didn't seem like he is out of his mind when I talked to him" My eyes wander to the sleeping face next to me. There is one more thing I wonder about.
I pull Squirrely closer to me and lay his head on my thigh. I gently lift his hospital shirt up and revile his waist and stomach. Just as I thought his ribs are perfectly visible to my eyes and even Minho gasps as he turns his head toward us. I observe Squirrely's face and the puffed cheeks he had on the pictures are almost gone.
I didn't notice this before because I wasn't focusing on his appearance, but he doesn't even have much fat on himself, almost zero actually. Minho and I exchange a look. Just now we realize what we actually pulled ourselves into. We will have to get him out of his eating disorder as well not just off the drug.
They probably gave him his meals regularly but that doesn't mean he ate them. I pull his shirt down as his body shivers from the cold night air. Minho turns around and I hear him search for something In a bag that was between his feet. He pulled out a thin blanket and threw it back at us.
"Wrap him up. I chose a location on the other end of the city, so it will take a while." He sais and I wrap the blanket around Squirrely. There is no turning back now. We have to finish this.
--
It took a while but we still arrived pretty fast. Minho picked up Squirrely and took him inside the big house I am looking at right now.
"I brought you this" I turn around and see Seungmin holding a small bag.
"If you want to get him off that drug you'll have to give him less and less of the drug everyday, so you will have to inject it inside of him." He opens the bag and reveals a bunch of injections and small glass bottles.
"Take the substances out of the capsules and put them inside the glass bottles. Give him the same quantity of each every time you give it to him." Seungmin says as he hands me the small bag. "It will be way easier. Me and Minho hyung already brought all the stuff you had here before coming to the hospital so everything is inside. Minho also found some cat before. Dongo?? Doono?? I don't know... Dong??" Seungmin looks up while trying to remember the cats name"
"Doong-ie. It's Doong-ie. And I found three not one." I hear Minho say behind me "You brought us here. Thank you, now go. Hurry and go" He takes my hand and drags me toward the front door. I see Seungmin wave his hand toward me with a soft smile on his face.
"Hope a car runs over youuu" Minho says with a smile playing on his lips making me turn around to him and hit his chest.
"Thank you Seungmin. Get home safely" I scream after Seungmin as he gets inside his car. We watch him leave before Minho walks down the three stairs that are between the front door and the ground.
"I need to introduce you to our 3 new family members" He says as he turns around to face me. "Soon-ie, Doong-it and Dori" He says as three cats show up out of nowhere.
"This Is Soon-ie" He points toward an orange cat "This is Doon-ie" He points toward the other orange one but her tummy is white "And Dori" Omg now if that's not the cutest thing I have ever seen. This one was a tiny one with black little lines over her gray fiber.
"Ohh so cute" I step down and take Dori in my hands. While Soong-ie rubs herself on my leg, Doong-it just jumps up the stairs and slides inside the house. What a meanie... totally doesn't remind of someone.
Minho picks up Soong-ie and we both follow Doong-ie inside the house. As we get in I noticed how big this house actually is. It's not new and fancy but old and big like one of those houses in horror movies. The ceiling is pretty high and you can see stairs that lead to the second floor. After you climb up the stairs and look over the railing the whole living room is perfectly visible.
"Wow.." Minho looks at me with a big smile. Where did he even find a house like this. The house is surrounded by a forest on It's right and a small town just outside of Seoul. It's perfect.
"You like It??" He asks and all I can think is. How am I not supposed to like It??
"It's interesting" I manage to say before walking into the living room.
"It's a bit old but the electricity and water are still running. Nobody has been here for 2 years ever since my grandma passed away so it's a lil dusty, nothing that can't be cleaned. A lot of things are covered with sheets so there is not any dirt on the furniture. I already took off the sheets here when we came earlier. And the stuff we have are there" He points toward the fireplace.
To be honest, I don't care about anything right now, I just want to sleep. My eyes land on the squeezed boy on the couch. He is wrapped in the blanket from before with his feet picking out on the end of it. I walk toward the clothes Minho packed for him and take out a pair of socks.
I make sure they are worm and thick before sitting down on the couch and putting them on his feet. Minho just observes me before he himself searches the bag and pulls out a pair of pants and a shirt.
"I'll change his clothes go grab a bite and take a nap. You did good." I give him a worm smile and walk toward the kitchen. The kitchen is big and old styled. It's really interesting. It shows that an old lady lived here before because the wooden table and shelves are holding pretty good. I see one more pack of bags on the ground and open them up. Like Minho said the electricity is running pretty well, since the fridge is already lit up.
I place some of the products inside of it and take something simple to eat. I really want to sleep. As the food slides down my throat I get some energy back and finally I can focus on myself.
The pain from my ankle silently grows and when I finish eating I pull my jeans a lil bit more up and take off my shoe. Damn is it swallowed?? it doesn't look like it, but it does at the same time. It's probably just a small hit in the bone nothing serious, it's not like I can sprained my ankle just from hitting it with a fire extinguisher. And It doesn't hurt enough to be sprained anyway even if it is that heals pretty fast... right??
--
I open my eyes to the sudden screams coming from the room next to me. What happened?? I look around and notice I am in the kitchen. Did I fall asleep here?? But wouldn't Minho wake me up?? Ahh whatever.
I pick myself up and enter the living room. My eyes go wide open as soon as I see the scene in front of me. Squirrely is raised on his feet and he is holding one of the metal sticks people use to manage the fire place. He is holding it in front of himself while Minho is standing there on the other side of the stick his eyes carefully following it as it's cut through the air.
How long did I even sleep?? I get closer and eventually Squirrely noises me. His eyes turn to me and I can see the fear and anger burning through them. Does he not remember again. Or he does but is just extra careful.
"Stay back" He waves the tool in front of me even thought I'm not even that close to him yet. "Don't came any closer." He is trapped in the corner of the room.
I exchanged a look with Minho and he signaled me toward the clock. I look at it and it's 13:24pm no wonder my neck hurts like this. I slept 9 hours on the damn kitchen table. This is also the time Squirrely starts to run out of drugs in his veins.
I look back at him with my hands raised up in defeat. I need to calm him down. He is mostly used to people locking him up or tying to knock him down so no wonder he's freaking out right now. I want to approach him on a different way but if he doesn't let me or actually if he's threatening to hurt me or Minho then I don't know what to do.
"I won't hurt you. I don't want to hurt you. I'm the girl from earlier remember??" I take small steps toward him and for a moment he seems to think about my words. But in the next second he raises the tool again and swings it toward me.
"NO. YOU'RE LAYING" Why did I even get this close to him. I'm seconds away from him slamming that thing on the side of my arm. As my eyes follow the metal stick my body prepares for the hit.
Out of no where Minho's hand catches the stick midair and pulls it out of his hands. He throws it as far away as possible from us and wraps his arms around Squirrely before he does anything else.
Squirrels starts kicking the air and since he is pretty light Minho is holding him without a problem. The scene eventually escapes my eyes as Minho is trying to keep his balance from falling backwards or bumping anywhere. Even thought Squarely is light and seems week his will power is amazing. He is waving his legs in the air while trying to get himself realised from Minho's grip.
Suddenly I hear Minho's scream echo through the house. They turn toward me again and Squirrely's teeth are deeply buried into Minho's skin.
"THIS BITCH BIT ME"
