I'll show you (Get ing ready)Youngjae sat next to Zelo, trying to comfort him as he sobbed.
"H-hyung, what do I do now? He doesn't remember anything, and I-I just-"
Zelo couldn't finish his sentence because he was crying too hard.
"Shh... It's okay. Just try to forget. Why don't you try moving on?"
Zelo bawled even harder.
Himchan glared at Youngjae.
"What? I was trying to make him feel better."
"Shut up. Zelo, why don't you go talk to Key? Key will probably make you feel better."
Zelo nodded miserably and dragged himself to his phone.
He dialed Key and waited.
"K-Key?"
"What's up, Jelly?"
"Yongguk, h-he UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH~"
Zelo cried into the phone, not even bothering to finish the explanation.
"Zelo? Zelo? Are you okay? DOES KEY NEED TO COME CASTRATE SOMEONE?"
Zelo sniffed, trying to catch his breath.
"WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH~"
He sobbed passionately.
There was rustling on the other side of the phone.
"Zelo, calm down. Calm down, sweetie. Key is coming. Just wait and don't do anything stupid."
Key hung up.
Zelo tossed the phone to the side and fell asleep, exhausted by the amount of water that had come out of his eyes.
Himchan hated to do this, but Zelo needed to go to school.
If he missed one more day, he would be in serious trouble.
"Zelo, get up. You have to go to school."
Zelo mumbled,"I don't wanna."
"Zelo, you have to. Get up!"
Himchan motioned to Jongup.
Jongup grabbed Zelo's torso as gently as he could and hefted him over his shoulder, like a fireman and a hose.
Himchan quickly grabbed Zelo's pants and pulled down.
Zelo scrambled up and fell to the floor.
"What the hell are you doing?" He hissed, not pleased.
"Come on. Put on a new pair of pants and shirt and brush your teeth."
Zelo changed and finally got ready for school.
He looked terrible.
Everyone at school thought he was sick.
His eyes were red and puffy, his skin was a deathly shade of white and the skin under his eyes was almost pitch black.
Yongguk stared at him in math.
Had Yongguk been the cause of that?
He felt bad, but he couldn't bring himself to apologize.
He couldn't risk getting close to him.
In the middle of the day, Key checked him out of school.
"Zelo, I'm sorry, but you look like ."
Zelo barely reacted.
Key reached around Zelo's waist and picked him up like a sack of potatoes.
Briskly walking, he chattered.
"We have to go to the salon and get your hair re-dyed, some more clothes... Trust me, this will make you feel better. I called up one of my other friends and she's going to come along. You'll love her, I swear."
"Key."
Zelo's quiet voice barely reached Key's ears.
"Key." He said a little bit louder.
"Hmm?"
"What if I don't want to? I just want to go home and die."
"If you really don't want to, we can go home. But I think this is healthier and you might make Yongguk jealou- ohmygod I just thought of the cutest name. Make him jelly for the Jelly. I'm a genius!"
Key chuckled at his little pun.
He suddenly set Zelo down.
Looking into his eyes, he said,"Zelo, is this really what you want? To be moping and falling in depression?"
"No."
"Okay, then. Let's go!"
He dragged Zelo into his car and they headed off.
