“Baekhyun? Baek?” I opened my eyes and saw bright, dazzling lights, which blinded me. Pain burned through my head. I blinked once. Twice. Three times. I was in a white room. I lay down on a comfortable bed. I could hear a beep somewhere above my head. IVs were attached to both my hands. My left arm was in a cast. He passed a tube under my nose. I could hear voices nearby. I was in a hospital. Someone was holding my right hand. I turned my head. “Chanyeol.” He had a bandage on his forehead. Purple bruises were visible on his skin. "What happened? Why am I here? Are you hurt?" I croaked. My throat was so dry. My head continued to throb painfully. I touched my head which was covered with a thick bandage. “Hyung, is he awake?” a familiar voice asked from the background. "Yes. Call Suho," Chanyeol replied without looking back. His face was lined with worry. "How are you feeling?" he asked. I heard a door open and then close, followed by footsteps coming towards us. Seven people gathered around my bed. My friends. My EXO Academy team. “Are you all here?” I asked. “Yes,” he said. He stroked his hair softly "Hey." I held out my right hand. "Don't cry." Kai handed him a handkerchief. "We're glad you're awake pats the leg reassuringly. "What happened?" I asked again, looking at them all. I fixed my gaze on Chanyeol. He sighed as he took my hand in his. He exchanged a look with Kris. “We were in a car accident yesterday,” Chanyeol said in a small voice. I heard the door open followed by another set of footsteps. The others stepped aside while Suho and Luhan came to check on me. Sehun was behind them. ...... half of the paper ...... for the lasagna ingredients. I laid out all the ingredients on the kitchen table. I started by making the sauce. I smiled to myself. I always feel happy whenever I cook something for Chanyeol. As I was chopping some celery, a pain shot through my head. “Ah,” I gasped. The knife fell from my hand and clattered onto the table. I leaned against the counter and rubbed my head. I took the medicine but the pain exploded in my head again causing me to fall to the floor. My phone started ringing in my pocket. I looked for it with trembling hands. "Ready?" I gasped. “Baekhyun? What's wrong?" Chanyeol asked. "I... Chan-" I dropped the phone as the pain intensified in my head. My vision was blurry, my heart pounded furiously in my chest. And my head. My head hurt, as if millions of needles were starting to poke their way into my brain. Flashes of light exploded before my eyes. No. I blacked out.
