(Trigger Warning for Sexual Assault, skip to the end of trigger if you feel unconfortable)
17:45 pm
Woohyun was still hooking up with the CEO before being released early with the other members, even though training was exhausting, they always left early on Fridays.
"Stronger... Stronger please" Woohyun kept bouncing nonstop even when his lower abdomen was extremely sore, so the CEO came inside him for the 10th time before letting Woohyun get dressed and leaving him to go to the dorm
18:00 PM
During the trip to the dormitory, Woohyun couldn't stop feeling a sharp pain in his lower abdomen, especially in his genital area. He was limping and extremely dizzy. "What was I doing..." Woohyun slurred his words like a zombie.
(End of trigger warning)
Woohyun arrived at the building where the dorm was located, taking the elevator because the building manager, a kind 60-year-old woman, said he was too sick to use the stairs
Woohyun finally arrived at the apartment where the group was staying. Donghwa and Jumin were sitting on the sofa, Youngwon was cooking, Yubin was in the room praying, and Yesung had gone to bed early.
"Where were you?" Jumin asked Woohyun, who just smiled. "I'm fine, the CEO was just asking me to do a more intense part of the choreography." Woohyun clearly lied before picking up his towel and go to the bathroom
(Woohyun POV on)
I wasn't feeling well...
I had slept with the CEO again, and I knew I couldn't say anything because to those annoying people anything was considered abuse, even if I had consented.
But somehow, I didn't feel well.
I took off my clothes and turned on the shower... I could still feel Oppa's hands on my thighs and the rest of my body.
But I stopped feeling anything, and all I could feel was a tiredness that somehow arose, I closed my eyes... I felt my whole body light and falling, as if I were falling back into the Oppa's arms
(POV off)
20:00 PM
"Someone tell Woohyun he doesn't own the bathroom and that I need to take a shit," Donghwa said, but none of the other members paid much attention, forcing him to get up and go to the bathroom himself. "It's always like this—the guy who owns the dorm has to do everything." Donghwa entered the bathroom and pulled back the shower curtain, only to be startled by the sight of Woohyun's unconscious, naked body; his hair was already dry, and the water was still running onto his knees. Donghwa quickly turned off the water. "WOOHYUN, WAKE UP!"
Jumin, Youngwon, and Yubin quickly arrived at the bathroom, where Donghwa was trying his hardest to wake Woohyun up. "What's happening?" Jumin asked as Youngwon called an ambulance and Yubin tried—unsuccessfully—to splash cold water on Woohyun's face. An ambulance finally arrived and took Woohyun—wrapped in a towel by the other members—to the hospital.
20:30 PM
Donghwa, Youngwon, Jumin, and Yubin gazed at an unconscious Woohyun lying on the hospital gurney; a needle was in his left arm delivering a blood transfusion, his heartbeat was synchronized with the monitor, and a nebulizer mask was already fitted over his mouth and nose. A nurse arrived carrying the test results, looking visibly worried: "We ran some tests on Woohyun, and the results have us quite concerned... the intimate area shows clear signs of injury, and he has a mild urinary tract infection, which already indicates possible sexual abuse."
That was when Woohyun finally woke up and looked around at everyone in a daze. "Good evening, Woohyun; we've reviewed the test results, and we believe you are a victim of sexual abuse..." the nurse stated. That was the moment Woohyun flushed red with anger, as if he had turned into a completely different person: "I've already said over a thousand times that I CONSENTED!"
Everyone's eyes widened at Woohyun's defiance, except for Donghwa. "Woohyun, what did I tell you about this? There's a difference between coerced consent and informed consent." Donghwa shook Woohyun, only for Woohyun to slap him. "Why do you all insist on calling it rape? *I* accepted the situation!" Woohyun shouted again. "Woohyun, WAKE UP TO LIFE! You've barely turned eighteen and you already have a urinary tract infection! Do you realize what that man did to you?" Youngwon warned.
"Then why did you limp into the dorm?" Jumin asked desperately, just before Woohyun slammed his hand against the wall. "I already told you—IT WAS THE FUCKING INTENSE CHOREOGRAPHY!" Woohyun raised his voice, right before Donghwa tapped him on the shoulder. "IT WASN'T INTENSE CHOREOGRAPHY! YOU ARE CLEARLY BEING SEXUALLY ABUSED!"
"Gentlemen, please calm down!" the nurse shouted, stopping the argument from escalating further. "We need to continue the treatment; Woohyun will have to stay here for about... two days, give or take. You can go home." The nurse dismissed them and left. Woohyun closed his eyes and imagined how the CEO would react upon seeing his condition. "I just hope he doesn't worry too much..."
