as soon as changbin, who volunteered to stay at the table to watch their things (but he could not care less anymore), saw minho carrying jisung bridal style towards the direction of the infirmary, he dropped his pen and ran towards them as he met chan and felix following closely behind minho.

minho placed jisung down on the bed gently as chan fumbled amongst the different medical supplies in the drawers. he picked out the possible ointments and bandages that could be used for jisung's bruises as he passed them to felix and minho.

"can i lift your shirt up?" minho asked quietly, not wanting felix, chan and changbin to hear, as they all stepped into the infirmary as well. jisung nodded his head weakly as his neck was hurting from the kicks the bullies gave him when he was lying down in the restroom. minho slowly lifted up the shirt, as his heart shattered into a million pieces as he saw the blue black, purple and red bruises from the punches and kicks. he looked at felix as felix stared at jisung's torso, tears forming in his eyes a second time.

minho took the ointment from felix's hand and held his hands for a few seconds tightly for felix to stay strong. he then opened the tube, swiping some of the white ointment off with his finger as he put the cold medicine on jisung's stomach and arms, slowly spreading it out to the bruises. he occasionally eyed jisung and felix as he heard the soft whispers of chan and changbin as they stepped outside the infirmary so chan could explain to changbin about what happened in the restroom.

he quickly finished spreading the cream on the bruises and placed some bandages across them. as he finished off with the last bandage on jisung's left abdomen, he eyed jisung's right waist, where there was an open wound that even left a bloodstain on jisung's uniform. he blew on it lightly, and asked, "is there anywhere else bleeding?"

jisung nodded, pointing to his back with his thumb as he tilted to the left to show the wound on his back. minho nodded, taking out a different medicine for the open wounds, while felix just continued to look down, tears dripping onto his uniform from his chin.

"felix, you okay?" minho said, glancing at him while placing a large bandage on jisung.

"this wouldn't have happened if i didn't let you go by yourself, it's all my fault. i can't believe i-" felix said, crying at the same time but got cut off as minho said, "hey, don't say that. we didn't know they'd be there."

"but i should've kept a lookout, i would've seen them," felix said, looking up at minho.

"you know them?" minho asked, confused.

"they were the ones who bullied jisung," felix said. minho came to a realisation, recalling what felix had told him a few weeks ago. however, felix suddenly felt a pull on his shirt, as he turned his head slightly, meeting his best friend's eyes.

"it's alright, i'm alright," jisung signed, smiling softly at felix as minho finished his work on jisung's wounds. chan and changbin entered the infirmary again, feeling somewhat of reassurance as jisung's wounds were nicely cleaned up, thanks to minho, and that he was smiling, even though he'd just been punched at kicked probably a hundred times.

"you... think you can do the literature exam tomorrow?" chan asked, his pitch increasing as he said every word. jisung nodded, giving them his biggest smile as minho helped him sit up. "alright, i think you should go home and get some rest, it's almost 6 o'clock." jisung nodded, getting up as minho helped him, changbin also approaching felix, "you should get some rest too."

they left the infirmary, removing the bloody plastic cover from the bed jisung used, leaving the place as it was when they first came, as they went back to the cafeteria, packing up their books and notes as they left to go home.

"you want to take the bus today? i found out another way to go home other than walking just now," minho asked jisung. "i don't think you should be walking too much." jisung nodded, fully aware of minho's concern for him. they walked to the bus stop, minho holding jisung's arm with his left hand as his right arm was around jisung.

"when you shower tonight remember to cover your wounds so it doesn't hurt, and tell your mom to help you clean it again and sleep early tonight. you can text me, or video call me if you want, i'll pick up right away," minho said as they waited for the bus that was coming into their view. jisung smiled and nodded as they both took out their wallets from their pockets, tapping the card against the machine as they went on the bus.

thankfully, the bus was not too crowded as there were seats left for them to choose from. he led jisung to the seats at the back, which jisung gladly sat on as he did not want minho to worry, as minho took the seat beside him.

the two enjoyed the rest of the bus ride, jisung growing tired as he entered into a deep sleep, head lying on minho's shoulder. a smile grew on minho's face, as he thought about his plan to confess to the boy on sunday, "i hope you like it, princess."
