Story plot: ATEEZ would go bungee jumping jumping today. A few members were very excited, others not so much and were hoping they wouldn't have to jump. Wooyoung got picked out as one of the three who had to jump. He is not amused, but thankfully his boyfriend San is always there for him. Wooyoung offered to go first, the sooner he's done it the better. But what if things don't go as planned?
Wooyoung is sitting in the back of the van next to San, staring out the window. Three members would have to bungee jump today before their debut, and Wooyoung was praying to all the Gods that he wouldn't have to.
It's not that he's extremely afraid of heights or anything, but he never really wanted to be someone to jump off a building just for fun.
He's pulled out of his thoughts when San places his hand on his knee. "No matter what happens today, we'll always go through it together baby." Wooyoung smiles and rests back in the arms of his boyfriend. "I'm just hoping they didn't pick me to jump. It's not that I'm afraid of heights, but I never really wished to voluntarily jump off a building either you know?" San chuckles and kisses the top of his boyfriend's head.
After a long drive they finally arrive to the place. They all get out and stare at the building they might have to jump off. "Who came up with this insane idea, thinking we'd love to do this?" Wooyoung mumbles as he intertwined his fingers with San's. "Not me." San chuckles.
The staff start to explain the reason behind this bungee jump. "We wanted to give thee of you the opportunity to bungee jump before your debut. It's not just for the fun of it, we also think it might bring you closer to one another. The others who stay on the ground will be watching you jump and catch you when you're back on the ground safely."
They all nod in silence. Some of them are excited to jump and hope that the staff picked them, others are hoping they get to stay on the ground.
"So we've been all watching you practice of course, so we see how you all interact with each other. Based on what we've seen we have selected the three people who will jump. We will say the names but not in order, you get to decide who will jump first."
They nod again, just looking at the staff. Wooyoung is squeezing Sans hand by now.
Please don't make me jump. Please don't make me jump. Please do not make me jump off that building. Is the only thing Wooyoung can think about at this point.
Please pick me! Please pick me! Can I please jump off that building! Are the opposite thoughts on Sans mind.
"The first name of the person who will bungee jump is Hongjoong. Since he is the leader and always around trying to work things out, we want him to experience a moment where nothing work related can cross his mind and where he is forced to live in the moment."
Hongjoong drops down on his knees and groans. "Why can't I stay here and support everyone!" He pouts knowing there is nothing to discuss about this. The others just laugh and pull their leader up for a close hug.
"The second name of the person who will bungee jump is Yunho. Since he's always moving a little more to the background, but we feel like he has a lot more to offer if he would dare to speak up a bit more. We hope this experience will make you live more carefree."
Yunho runs over to Hongjoong and hugs him tightly. "Well we're in this together."
"The third name of the person who will bungee jump is Wooyoung. We've noticed that you always find things that are out of your hands and out of your control to be very difficult. With this experience you have no control and we hope you can feel that sometimes that's okay."
Wooyoung drops to the ground and San kneels down as well. "Baby it's going to be just fine. Hongjoong and Yunho will be up there with you." He cups Wooyoung's face in his hands and pulls him into a soft and passionate kiss. One that Wooyoung gladly returns and for a brief moment he forgets about the fact that he has to jump.
"Woosan take a break. Woo, we're going up are you coming?" Hongjoong says and Wooyoung pulls away with a slight blush on his cheeks. "Yes I'm coming! I love you so much Sannie!" "I love you too! Now go!" He chuckles and slaps Wooyoung's butt as he gets up and walks away.
As they're standing in the elevator, Wooyoung is standing safely with his back pressed against the wall next to Hongjoong. "This is so high. Why? Why us? Why me!" Hongjoong chuckles but is shaking on his knees as well. "I know it sucks, but I think they did choose the right people to jump." Wooyoung looks at him but can only agree. "Yeah that's true. They did pick us with the right reasons."
They start to fill in the papers and they're not making Wooyoung feel any more comfortable with jumping off this building.
"Can I jump first?" Wooyoung asks firmly. "I swear I won't be able to do it if one of you jumps first. I want this to be over as soon as possible and I want to be back with two feet on the ground." Hongjoong and Yunho look at each other. "Yeah that's fine by me." Hongjoong says. "Yeah if you want to go first so badly you can." Yunho says and Wooyoung sighs relieved.
"You guys have no idea how much I hate this. Not the height but the jumping and just having no control after that. I know that's why they choose me but damn I really do not like this." Yunho and Hongjoong pull Wooyoung in their arms. "Try to let it go Woo. The more you worry and stress about it, the more difficult it will be to actually jump. This is what they said. Try to let it go and live in the moment." Yunho says and Wooyoung nods taking a deep breath. "Stressing about it won't make you feel better, it will only make you beg for more control than you can have at this point." Hongjoong says and Wooyoung nods again.
"Okay. Thank you so much guys. You're right. Lose control. Live in the moment. I think I'm ready." Wooyoung says as he looks at the guys that will put him in the suit. "Alright follow us." They make their way outside and Wooyoung gets hooked onto a lot of different things.
Lose control. Live in the moment. Look forward to the future. Lose control Wooyoung. These guys know what they're doing. You can't control that. You can control the moment when you decide to jump and after that you let it all go.
He sighs as he holds the bars firmly in his hands, not even noticing the others who are waiting for him on the ground.
I can do it. I can do it. I can lose control.
"I'm ready." "Okay you can jump on three if you want." Wooyoung nods and closes his eyes for a moment, taking in this moment. "One, two, three!" Wooyoung shouts as he lets himself fall off the building.
All the others cheer as they see that Wooyoung finally managed to jump. They're all incredibly proud since they know how much Wooyoung hates not being able to control something.
Wooyoung smiles brightly, feeling proud of himself as well.
But that smile quickly fades as he sees the ground beneath him getting closer and closer.
THIS IS NOT SUPPOSE TO HAPPEN.
The others are still cheering but quickly stop when they hear the most eerie scream they've ever heard, coming from the boy that just jumped off the building.
San looks at the cord and back at Wooyoung before realizing what's going on. "He's going to hit the ground. HE'S GOING TO HIT THE GROUND GUYS!" San sprints off to his boyfriend, but with no luck.
Wooyoung screams as loud as he can before he reaches his arms forward and braces himself for the impact.
San is nearly there when he watches the whole scene happening in front of his eyes and there is nothing he can do at this point.
Wooyoung slams into the ground, arms first. His moveless body is on the ground.
"WOOYOUNG!" San screams as he runs to his boyfriend in full sprint. "Wooyoung baby please." San manges to get out before he starts to cry. The others finally catched up and kneel down besides San. "Woo baby please. Please wake up. Look at me. Please!" San begs.
Yeosang quickly pulls San closer while the staff is calling for an ambulance. "He will be okay Sannie. He will be okay." Yeosang says as he tries to comfort San.
No no no no no. This can't be happening. Not my baby. Not my Wooyoung. WHY. WHY COULDN'T THIS HAPPEN TO ME?!
San carefully takes Wooyoung's hand in his. "I'll always stay by your side baby I promise." San sobs into Yeosang's arms as he's waiting for the ambulance to arrive.
After a couple of minutes Wooyoung slowly opens his eyes and moans from the pain. "S- San." He manages to get out and San quickly sits up. "Yes baby I'm right here. I'm right by your side." He brushes his hand softly with his thumb and places a light kiss on his lips. "Sannie is here baby." He quickly rubs the tears from this eyes. He needs to be strong right now.
"W- what happened?" Wooyoung mumbles and coughs before moaning from the pain. "I'll tell you later. Don't worry about that right now." San says as he carefully kisses his boyfriend on his forehead. "The ambulance is coming. I'll come inside with you. We need to make sure you're safe okay?"
Wooyoung vaguely nods as he closes his eyes again. His whole body is in pain and he feels like he's been hit by a truck.
As the ambulance finally arrives, they carefully place Wooyoung on the stretcher and allow San to come with them.
The ambulance ride to the hospital is quiet. Silent tears are rolling down San's cheeks.
I can't lose him. I can't lose the love of my life. Please be strong baby. We can fight through this together.
A paramedic hands San a tissue. "Can you tell us what exactly happened?"
San sniffles and nods. "Y- yeah uhm. Wooyoung went to go bungee jumping. And he jumped and everything seemed to be going just fine. But then as he got closer to the ground.." San stops as he relives the memory of watching his boyfriend fall to the ground.
The paramedic gently places a hand on San's shoulder. "It's okay, take your time." San nods as he swallows his tears away. "I- it was the cord. A- at some point it seemed to be too long and before I could get there, he had hit the ground.. Oh! H- he reached his arms forward! B- but I don't know if he hit anything else when he hit the ground."
"Thank you." The paramedic replies and gives San some space again. San quickly takes Wooyoung's hand in his again. "I'm with you baby."
As they get to the hospital they have to separate San and Wooyoung since they need to do some scans to make sure there is no internal bleeding.
As San paces around the waiting room, the others arrive as well. San looks up and immediately starts to cry when he sees them. Seonghwa hugs him tightly. "I- I can't lose him hyung!" He cries as he feels the comforting hands from the others on his back as well. "You won't. He's a strong guy and he'll fight for his life if he has to." The only thing San can do at this point is cry.
What if I lose him. I know he's strong, but who knows what internal damage he has. I wish he never jumped. How is every going to feel okay with having less control when this happened?! Please be strong baby.
After what feels like hours a doctor finally walks over to them and San jumps off his chair.
"So we've ran all the tests we had to. And I know this might sound strange, but he is very lucky. Since he reached forward, he only broke both his arms, he has a slight concussion and he bruised a couple of his ribs."
"Okay okay can we go see him?!" San asks. "Yes he should be awake. He's in room B104 and-" San doesn't wait for him to finish his sentence as he sprints to the room.
"Woo!" He leans over and kisses his boyfriend softly on his lips as a tear rolls down his cheek. "Hey babe don't cry.." "H- how can I not? I really thought I lost you!" "But you didn't. I'm still here." Wooyoung smiles slightly.
"I love you so so much Woo. I'll take care of you I promise." San says and Wooyoung smiles. "I love you so so much more Sannie."
A/N: Sooo how do we feel about this oneshot?
