Now, leave it to Yerim to screw up, at this point nobody is even phased anymore. Seulgi, bless this man, was just sitting patiently as he waited for his boyfriend to stop screaming and talk to him to try and find a solution for whatever problem the boy was having inside the bathroom stall. They had hit the bathroom once lunch began to avoid crowds, both brought their lunch from home, and there was no reason for them to rush to the cafeteria, or wherever they would have lunch, once inside, Yeri started screaming and hasn’t calmed down yet, it’s been a few minutes.

Seulgi, this beautiful bear, had finished his business, washed his hands and tried to get Yeri out of the stall and tell him what was happening. Inside the stall, a lot of pain and a lot of fear were happening for the younger boy, you see, Yeri should really start being more careful and think more before he does something, this should be a good lesson, once he is able to think again, that is. You might be wondering what’s going on, and I’ll let you know, I just want you to understand that this is Yeri’s own fault and his recklessness is what put him there. 

Well, Kim Yerim enjoyed freedom, he has always used boxers, and whenever he tried anything tighter it felt like being imprisoned in his own body. The problem right now is, he had to put on one of the silk ones he wears to sleep as his mother made a mistake the previous day and knocked down the ones he had washed (our boys are taught to be fully functional adults), reducing him to the ones he wears as pajamas. The problem here is, the silk ones are too soft and very hard to feel, against his skin, that means there was a small error when zipping up his pants and now there is a lot of pain happening and he is too afraid to even look to figure out what happened and how to get out of it.

“Rimmie, can you open for me, please?” Seulgi tries, once the screaming lowers a little. “I just want to help you out, please open the door.”

Yerim does unlock the stall, but can’t really move, as even breathing is taking a lot out of him at the moment. 

“What’s wrong?”

The younger boy just points down, Seulgi flinches and gulps as soon as he sees it.7

“Okay, can you move at all?” Seulgi gets a barely there head shake. “Okay, do you think you can take it if I carry you to the nurse?”

Barely a nod tells Seulgi his boyfriend is willing to try, well, they can’t really stay like this much longer, the older boy had seen some blood and got extremely worried, and Yeri sure isn’t intending for this to be his life now. Our bear goes and gets their lunchboxes and hands them for Yeri to hold, then, as carefully as he could given the circumstances, some whimpering grunting from the younger one and they are off to get some help.

“Put him on the bed.” Is all nurse Kim says once they reach the clinic.

“Can you help him?” Seulgi is starting to despair at this point, the walk to the clinic was taxing.

“I’ll take a look and see what I can do, alright?”

“Thank you, nurse Kim.”

“Don’t thank me yet. But sit over there and have your lunch. Looks like you were about to eat, yes?”

“We went to the bathroom before eating and then this happened.”

“Well, then eat. It’s not good for growing boys to skip meals.”

“I’ll try.” Seulgi agrees and moves to sit on the couch.

With her way clear, nurse Kim moved to check the boy curled up on the bed, all she could understand was that something was wrong around his lower abdomen and looked bad enough for Seulgi to panic. The main reason she told the boy to go eat his lunch was because he was completely pale, eyes wide and looking about to pass out. Having him concentrate on his lunch would not only distract him while she does her job, but would force him to calm down as he tries to eat and not choke on his food. Years as a school nurse taught Kim Hyojin that not everything is really an emergency with teenagers, and aggravating situations could be avoided if you simply distract them.

“Mr Kim, I’m going to need you to tell me what’s wrong.”

“Zipper.” Is all Yerim manages to grumble out, he still can’t breathe well.

“Alright, can you show me?” nurse Kim asks softly.

Yerim tries his best, but straightening his legs is proving to be a challenge at the moment, he does manage to uncurl long enough for the nurse to see what was happening. Nurse Kim winces, it looked worse than she thought it would be, but first things first, allowing the boy to move a bit and releasing some of the pain. She grabs her scissors and cuts around the area, the boy seems to be relieved immediately, the nurse goes to the mini fridge and grabs a cold compress, enveloping it in some gause and heading back to the suffering kid.

“This is going to sting a little.” Nurse Kim warns. “But bear with it, you’ll feel better soon.”

Yeri squirms and whines a little but settles soon after, Seulgi is still eating his lunch, but the woman figured he would take a while anyway. Nurse Kim tells the boys she will step out for a while to get Yeri’s file so she could call his family to take him to the hospital and register the incident, as he would have to be excused from classes and would have problems if his absence wasn’t made oficial. She was a good nurse, never failed to keep calm and do as much as she could to help the students, regardless of the situation. The students loved her, even with all the headaches they gave the woman.

Soon enough, mr Kim came to pick up his son, carrying the clothes the nurse told him to bring, and was off to the hospital with the two boys. Nurse Kim decided Seulgi wasn’t well enough to attend classes either, he did calm down and managed half his lunch but was still very agitated and losing focus on anything that wasn’t the boy laying on the bed. The man winces and hisses when he sees it, but he focuses and listens to the nurse’s instructions, she had sent Seulgi to grab their things and give their teachers a note explaining their absence. The boy returns not long after and they head to the hospital.

By now, their group chat is blowing up, Seulgi has this one classmate who prides himself on knowing everything about everyone, something like Minnie. But Nayeon does confirm rumors before speaking about them, unlike the girl, and he did see Seulgi coming in, handing their teacher a note and grabbing his things before leaving, so our main bunny is invested in finding out what’s happening. It will get worse when classes are over and Chaeyoung mentions Seulgi had come for Yeri’s things as well. But that’s a worry for another time.
