[fill] love letter (2/?)

[anonymous]

"i visited the children's ward yesterday."

baekhyun pretended not to listen as he concentrated on yifan's touches on his back. he trembled a little when the cold chestpiece of yifan's stethoscope greeted his skin. yifan was silent for a moment and he smoothed baekhyun's shirt down his back when he was done. baekhyun blushed when yifan's palm lingered a moment longer on his spine and he felt a little disappointed when the warmth of yifan's large hand quickly lifted off.

"the kids like you a lot," yifan said again and baekhyun turned to give him a questioning look. yifan smiled. "they were asking if i took great care of their baekhyun-hyung and a girl there said she would never forgive me if i make you upset."

baekhyun's lips immediately quirk up and he felt so loved, so blessed to have the kids as his little friends. "that's so cool."

"i went there to look for you because the nurse said that's your territory," yifan chuckled and baekhyun thought maybe he should just forgive yifan for this.

since then, baekhyun would often find yifan in the children's ward during his free time. since then, baekhyun had always been dreaming of yifan's charming gummy smile. since then, baekhyun could never look at yifan straight in the eyes without having his heart jump out of his chest.

"doctor, did you notice the way i've been looking at you?"

baekhyun had lost count on how many times yifan had saved his life.

there was that time when he collapsed right after his therapy. a terrible headache was gnawing at his head like greedy scavengers. the pain was so unbearable that tears trickled down his face and baekhyun was hoping that he'd just die instead of suffering like this.

and then he heard yifan's voice calling his name over and over again and he felt yifan's warm hands cupping his face. baekhyun's harsh thrashes came to a stop as unconsciousness enveloped him like a dark, huge blanket of darkness.

when he woke up, he was alone. he heard muffled voices at the other side of the curtain and he strained his ears to listen.

"dr. wu, i respect your decision but your research on the cure is taking too long and we can see its toll on baekhyun's health. he's getting worse!"

"please, just give me more time," yifan's pleading voice entered baekhyun's ears. "i'm doing my best to find a cure for baekhyun's disease. i'm sorry but i can't let you give him the medicine that you proposed. it's too strong and i'm afraid his body won't be able to take it."

"we're experts in this field, doctor," another voice said. "we know what we're doing. however, this is the last chance. if you're still unable to find the solution to this problem, we'll take baekhyun away and give him our medicine."

there was silence and baekhyun held his breath.

"that's very generous of you," yifan replied quietly. "thank you very much, professors."

baekhyun clutched at his blanket when he heard yifan thanking his guests as he showed them the way out. when he thought that they were gone, he curled up in his blanket and cried. he didn't budge when the curtain was harshly pulled. he didn't expect to find yifan kneeling beside the bed and pulled him into a warm embrace. he didn't -- had never -- thought that yifan would cradle him in his arms and kiss his tears away.

"doctor, do you remember that time when those old men came and wanted to take me away? i felt a little angry but you sounded so sad. i was ashamed of myself for wanting to die when you're trying so hard to find a cure for me. thank you so much."
