Hyunseung knew there was something out of ordinary with Junhyung. The way he moved, the blank stares he emitted, even the quietness didn't seem to match. Well, he usually was a quiet person, but even sometime he would be babbling non-stop about something in general. And now he always leaned onto someone beside him, who was almost, been Yoseob all the time. Not to mention he hadn't nag anyone for the past two days.
Strange as it seemed, only Hyunseung had notice the change of behavior. He had confronted other members about this, but they only looked at each other and claimed they knew nothing.
Even Doojoon had given a joke about it, saying something along the line 'maybe it was that time of the month'. Of course all others just erupted into laughter. Well, not Hyunseung though. He simply sighed and cursed softly at his stupidity for asking something they clearly didn't take seriously.
Hyunseung silently went out of the living room where the rest of the members were still chattering happily and didn't notice his absence. He walked to the kitchen, feeling a little hungry even though they just ate dinner.
After making himself full enough, he was retreating to their joined room when he saw a lump on his bed. He scooted closer and peeked around the lump only to find a flushed Junhyung with 3 thick blankets wrapped around him.
He felt worry rushed over his inside and placed a hand on the rapper's forehead. 'Junhyung was burning!' Was the first thing he registered as his cold hand met by a flaming skin. He was going to ask Doojoon some medicine when Junhyung cracked an eye open.
"....Seung? What are...you...doing?" Junhyung asked, confused, as he raised his body into a sitting position supported by his elbows.
"Your skin is so hot; you must be having a fever. I'm gonna search for medicine. Stay in bed, okay?" Hyunseung kept rambling and turned around to take the medicine he promised. But his hand was caught by the man still half lying on the bed.
"Don't worry about me. I will be better in no time. It's been like this for the past week." His voice got clearer every second but his face didn't return to its normal hue.
"Are you kidding me? You won't get better if you don't take medicine! And you even skipped dinner. You must be hungry, I'll make you something."
"No." Junhyung said in a stern voice which surprised Hyunseung a little. "I'm serious. Don't worry about me. Just....stay..."
Hyunseung's gaze softened at the request and he couldn't refuse those eyes which were drawing holes through his own. He sat at his side of the joined bed and let the younger male traced small circle on his hand that was still in Junhyung's grasp.
After a while, the sick member fell asleep, still having a firm grip of Hyunseung's hand. Hyunseung could only sigh and climbed to the bed to have his own rest. He slept facing Junhyung, and as he glanced into the peaceful look on Junhyung's face, he felt his lips quirked upwards to form a small smile.
To say the next day was noisy would be an understatement. It all began when the darling cutie, Yoseob, went to rise all the members. He had just managed to wake Kikwang when he saw Junhyung and Hyunseung slept facing each other, with intertwined hands. He screamed, more like shrieked, loudly that awakened the remaining of the members.
Doojoon became alert as soon as he heard that high-pitched voice and jumped from his top bunk.
"What is it?"
He asked Yoseob who was grinning widely from ear to ear. Yoseob pointed at the bottom bunk and Doojoon turned his head to look at it. His jaw dropped to the floor when he saw Hyunseung, still half asleep, rubbing his right eye while his other hand was linked with Junhyung who, apparently, hadn't woken up by the noise; only stirred slightly. He instead pulled Hyunseung by the hand subconsciously that made Hyunseung fell on top of him.
"You...he...hands..." Doojoon couldn't form a complete sentence for a moment before he also grinned widely.
"Well, what do we have here? Secret lovebirds?" Doojoon couldn't help but threw a comment. Hyunseung sat straight all of sudden and looked at Doojoon, all traces of sleep were gone.
"W-what do you mean? He is sick! He needs someone to comfort him! Just look for yourself, he has a fever!" Hyunseung explain hurriedly while trying to escape Junhyung's grip on his arm but failed miserably.. Doojoon walked closer, still wearing the same grin, while the rest members stood at the door frame also smirking at the boys on the bed.
Doojoon touched Junhyung's forehead and his grin dropped. His face turned into one that resembled worry and Hyunseung felt like a can of cold water just splashed through his body.
"What is it? What? Doojoon!" Hyunseung asked frantically and pressed his other hand on Junhyung's face. The moment he did so, his worry turned into fear. Junhyung was so cold, even with his cold hand; he could feel the difference in temperature.
Doojoon quickly went outside, barking orders to call ambulance and their manager. After that, everything turned into a blur for Hyunseung, like his life was being fast forwarded. When he regained his awareness, they were in waiting room of a hospital where Junhyung was brought in a few minutes ago.
Hyunseung looked up when he felt someone sat beside him. It turned out Yoseob was sent to accompany him as he was the most upset one.
"I'm sorry..." Hyunseung broke the silence with a small voice; Yoseob had to strain his ear to hear it. Yoseob looked at him weirdly.
"What are you sorry for? It's not your fault, it's no one's fault. If any, it was us who should apologize for not believing you yesterday." Yoseob dropped his gaze to his lap, feeling guiltier than ever.
"But I should have told you when I knew he had a fever last night..." Hyunseung was still blaming himself and Yoseob didn't have time to say anything because the doctor who had examined Junhyung walked through the door. Hyunseung approached him hurriedly while Yoseob went to retrieve the other members.
"How is he?" Hyunseung managed to keep his voice steady but he occasionally stole some glances to the closed door.
"He's okay. Don't worry. He must be having some serious problems because the stress caused his brain to work itself more than usual so he must be having a massive headache these past few days. You're really lucky to have him here before he stresses himself more. Who knows what would happen then. Oh, and he overworked himself in training so now he's really tired. He's sleeping at the moment but you and your friends could visit him as long as you don't disturb him." He explained in a calm manner before excusing himself.
Hyunseung let out a sigh of relief and startled when a hand clasped on his shoulder. He turned to see Doojoon and the rest smiling at him. They apparently came just at the right moment to hear the last part of explanation from the doctor.
They went in to the room and Hyunseung almost cried seeing Junhyung lying there unconscious with a gas mask on his face. His face was so pale, like the dead. Hyunseung stopped beside the bed and sat there, only staring at Junhyung. The remaining members were also standing there in silence.
After what seemed like hours although actually just a few minutes, the nurse came in and told them the visiting hour had ended. Doojoon ordered the members to go home but Hyunseung stubbornly refused.
"Hyunseung, you need to rest. We'll visit him tomorrow."
"No. I want to wait for him to wake up."
Doojoon sighed knowing how stubborn Hyunseung was; there was really nothing he could do. So he bid farewell, promising to come back tomorrow, while ushering the other three out.
Hyunseung waved his hand and turned his attention back to Junhyung. He caressed the skin of his cheek and was quite surprised when the rapper opened both his eyes lazily. It was the second time Junhyung caught him touching his face.
"Hey" Hyunseung said with a smile. Junhyung smiled back but didn't say anything.
"Err...I'll call the doctor for you." Hyunseung got up and made his way to the door when a strained voice stopped him.
"Don't..." Junhyung coughed and Hyunseung rushed to his side. Hyunseung patted his back and helped him lied on the bed again.
"I...just...need…a...rest..." Junhyung closed his eyes while still breathing heavily.
"Okay, I'll be right here if you need me." Hyunseung said reluctantly and repositioned himself on the chair beside the bed. Not long after, Junhyung went into a deep slumber, leaving Hyunseung with nothing to do. So, he crossed both his hands on the bed and placed his head on it. Soon, he too fell asleep on the chair.
"Aww, look at them. They're so cute together, don't you think?" A husky voice which sounded close to him, spoke.
"Your definition of cute is really weird. I don't know what to say." Another voice spoke with a tone so bored he could picture the talker rolled his eyes.
Both voices were oddly familiar but he couldn't make out who they were. So, he opened his eyes only to close them again because the brightness was unbearable.
"Hey look! He's awake!" A different cheerful voice now spoke which almost simultaneously responded by excited 'ooh' and 'aah'.
"Junhyung!"
Four sets of voices yelled into the room, earning a groan from a sleeping man beside him. Junhyung opened his eyes once more and looked at the rein-deer eyed boy who yawned sleepily and tried to snuggle into the hospital bed. He was already halfway to be lying beside Junhyung when a snicker was heard from Doojoon, which snapped Hyunseung from his antics.
He looked around once, looked down at his position, and blushed prettily. He climbed down from the bed and apologized before fled to the bathroom. All the while, Junhyung followed him with unwavering gaze. After Hyunseung's retreating back couldn't be seen anymore, he faced the other members who each carried knowing looks. He raised an eyebrow and asked.
"What?" Because he had enough rest, he was feeling better and his breath remained steady.
"Ooh like you don't know!" Kikwang exclaimed with a grin stuck on his face. Junhyung's own lips curled up into a smirk while he shrugged nonchalantly.
"What? I'm not a mind reader." He feigned innocence as the younger male huffed in annoyance.
"You were looking at him like you were ready to jump him if not for the needles stuck on your arm." Dongwoon supplied for his hyung.
"Well, THAT and the fact all of you are here." He replied, causing the boys to laugh out loud.
"If that's it then we should go!" Yoseob pulled the leader's sleeve and winked at Junhyung while the other two followed closely. Soon the door closed and he was left with silence. That silence didn't last long as the next minute the door opened a crack and Hyunseung stuck his head inside. After realizing Junhyung was alone, he stepped inside.
"Where are the others?" He asked Junhyung as he sat beside him. Junhyung merely stated he didn't know and motion Hyunseung forward.
Hyunseung leaned towards the rapper and suddenly, Junhyung grasped the back of his neck and planted a soft kiss on his lips.
He pulled back almost instantly, eyes widening and face reddened until he looked like a tomato.
"W-w-wha-" he couldn't think, let alone formed a sentence.
Junhyung smiled, not his usual smirk, and whispered, "I like you."
He inhaled another deep breath before continuing, "Well, I've been having this feeling for a while, that's why I've stressed myself until I got sick but... I didn't have any courage to tell you. And I know you may not feel the same but I couldn't hold myself-" He kept telling Hyunseung his feelings, voice rushed by the nervousness he felt.
Hyunseung's breath caught and his brain was trying so hard to say something, anything to tell the younger man that he liked him too.
"-and I'm sorry! Really, I am! I-" his rambling was stopped by the hug he received from the older male. Stunned, he wrapped his own arms at Hyunseung's waist. Suddenly, Hyunseung laughed merrily and Junhyung joined shortly after even though he had no idea what the elder was laughing about. They pulled apart, breathless by all the laughter.
Junhyung shot Hyunseung a confused look but he simply smiled at the younger and pecked him on the lips. No words were exchanged between both of them but Junhyung knew his feelings were mutual when they shared those meaningful gazes.
