*~*~*~*~*
"Hang in there, kid. We are almost there," a man's voice said urgently. Heechul kept going in and out of consciousness.
Heechul could feel the pain. It was excruciating. There was pain in his left leg, it felt like it was on fire. And his tongue, it was numb. It felt as if there was nothing in his mouth, which is an extremely horrible feeling when you know that it shouldnt feel that way.
He had no idea what was happening. The world around him was a complete blur. He could hear frantic whispers of people around him. Atleast it sounded like whispers to him, but they probably louder. "Stay with us kid," the same man that spoke to him early said.
The paramedics pushed his stretcher out of the back of the ambulance, and in through the automatic doors of the hospital.Heechul's eyes closed. And soon after that he passed out from the pain.
Doctors took immediate attention to their new patient. They ran along side the stretcher, giving orders to the nurses who had come up to help, and gathering information from the paramedics.
"We'll need to operate immediately." One of the doctors exclaimed.
One of the doctors directed the stretcher into an empty operating room. While another told one of the nurses to phone Heechul's immediate family, and his Super Junior family. Yes, even doctors knew of one of Korea's greatest idols.
*~*~*~*~*
(At the Suju Dorm)
All the Super Junior members where in the main room of their dorm, except for one who decided to stay behind in Mokpo a little longer to visit a friend.
Yesung and Kyuyhun were practicing singing, while Ryeowook played along on the piano to the current melody. Sungmin was watching them, from a near by chair, mostly gaping at Kyuyhun. Kangin and Shindong were having an arm wrestling tournament to prove once and for all who was the strongest among the Super Junior members.
Siwon was sitting in the corner of the black leather couch, reading his bible, and humming along to the melody of the piano. Eunhyuk was with Donghae on the opposite end of the couch, still trying to make Donghae feel better, after going to his father's funeral.
He protested to Eunyhuk's help, saying he was fine, and is getting through it.But Eunhyuk continued on, ignoring the protests. Eetuek was busy making coffee and hot chocolate for the members. The original plan was just coffee, but Donghae insisted that he wanted hot chocolate, and Eetuek would not deny him anything tonight, not after everything the younger boy has gone through.
Hankyung was leaning on the wall by the window. He was gazing outside, looking out at the city, that never seemed to sleep. He also some fangirls,the ones who would wait all night just for a chance to meet one of the Super Junior members.He wasn't really paying attention to what he was seeing, he was more worried about where that one missing member was, and why he was so late from visiting his friend.He had a bad feeling...
"The coffee and hot chocolate is done. Come and get it." Eeteuk said, placing a tray full of mugs that had steam coming out from them, on the dinning room table.All the members went to the table, except Hankyung, who was still in his trance of worry. "Hankyung, come over and drink your coffee. I'm sure Heechul will be here soon." Eeeuk said, noticing Hankyung peering outside the window. "Yeah, your probably right." Hankyung murmered, walking over to the table, and sitting down.
About two minutes passed by. Then the phone rang.
"I'll get it." Eetuek said, getting up from the table, with his cup of coffee in hand. "Hello."
"Yes, hello. Is this the Super Junior dorm?" the nurse asked from the other line."Yes, this is the Super Junior dorm." Eeteuk answered.
"Oh good. This is the Seoul Hospital," The nurse started.
"The Seoul Hospital?" Eetuek repeated, confused. He motioned for the other members to quiet down.
"Yes. We currently have Kim Heechul in our care, he was in a car accicent."
CRASH
Eeteuk dropped his coffee mug to the floor, spilling the contents all over the floor, and a little on his pants. Everyone else in the room was confused at the sight.
Eeteuk practically had a mini panic attack. He dropped the phone onto the floor, and just froze.
'What is it hyung?" Kangin asked getting up from his chair, and walking over to where Eeteuk was.
"Hyung..hyung. " Kangin said. There was no response from Eeteuk. "Teukie! Your scaring me! What is it?" Kangin screamed, now shaking the older man.
Kangin helped Eeteuk into a chair." Hyung what is it!" Kangin screamed again, hoping to get through this time.
"Heechul.." Eeteuk silently whispered.
"What? Heechul? What about Heechul?" Hankyung asked, now getting up from his seat, and kneeling next to Eetuek.
"Heechul...he's..."
"He's what?!" Hankyung now screamed, getting anoyed at the older man. "Screaming at him won't help anyrthing, hyung." Yesung said, putting his hand on Hankyung's shoulder.
"Just take a breath Eeteuk hyung," Siwon started." And tell us what it is."
Eeteuk took in a breath, then he started to cry frantically.
"Oh god. What is it hyung? Your scaring us?" Ryeowook yelled, becoming quite terrified, at the sudden crying of the leader.
"It's Heechul," Eeteuk started, finally getting the breath to talk." He's in the hospital, he was in a car accident."
Everyone in the room went silent. Some with mouths gaping open. Some starting to cry. But Hankyung he was getting mad. Mad at what, you ask? Only he could tell you that.
"He was in a WHAT?!" Hankyung screamed, breaking the silence.
"Hello. Hello!" The phone screamed, the nurse was still on the line. Sungmin walked over to pick it up.
"Hello. " Sungmin, answered. His voice shaking, tears falling down his face.
"Umm..yes.. is everything all right over there?" The nurse questioned.
"No! Everything is not all right. How can anything be alright?!" Sungmin screamed into the phone.
"Look, Mr.Kim is in surgery now. I don't exactly know the specifics, and I don't know if he's in serious danger. I think you and the rest of your friends should come down. He's family is coming,too." The nurse said.
Sungmin hung up the phone. "Come on, we need to get down to the hospital."
Everyone moved very fast to get on their shoes and coats.
*~*~*~*~*
They waited silenty inside the waiting room. Heechul's family arrived shortly after them, since they had a longer distance totravel. Everyone was worried and scared. When they came into the hospital they were told Heechul was still in surgery, but it was almost finish.
One of the nurses came outside of the operating room. Hankyung saw her and decided to go ask her for some information.
"Um.. excuse me." Hankyung said, walking up to the nurse and tapping her on the shoulder. "Yes?" the nurse asked.
"Will he be alright?" Hankyung asked,staring at the door she just exited from.
“I’m sure he will,” the nurse replied . Hankyung didn’t seem to hear her. He kept his gaze on the door. He didn't know what he would do if he lost Heechul. "Are you alright, sir?" the nurse asked. "Yes," Hankyung replied, breaking out of his trance." Thank you for the information." He walked back to the waiting room.
After another hour or so, the surgeon finally came out of the operating room. He had blood on his gloves, and sweat was trickling from his forehead. Everyone stood up, once they saw the surgeon approaching them.
"Is he alright?" Heechul's mother asked, wiping away at the tears that were lingering on her cheek. "Yes. The operation went well. He should be fine. But he will need some physical therapy, and lots of rest. So no Super Junior activites for awhile."
"As long as he is alive. We are happy." Eetuek said. Everyone else nodded in agreement."Can we go and see him?" Heejin, Heechul's sister asked. " No, sorry. We had to give him medicine to put him to sleep. He needs to rest now, and reenergize his body. You can see him tomorrow though." The doctor replied.
"Will he be awake then?" Eetuek asked. "I can't really say he will be. The medicine keeps him asleep until his body is actually powerful enough to wake up. So it all depends on him." The doctor replied." Now if you'll excuse me, I have another operation soon, and I need to get ready. Nice meeting you all." And with that the doctor walked away.
"What do we do now?" Ryeowook askeed to no one in particular. "We go home, and come back tomorrow," Eeteuk answered, "Heejin, Mr. and Mrs. Kim, you can stay at our dorm. If you would like."
"Oh no thank you. We can rent a hotel room." Mr. Kim replied. "Are you sure?" Eetuek asked. "Yes, yes. We will be fine. Now go on home. I'm sure there is some paperwork we need to fill for the hospital." Mrs.Kim said.
"Ok, then. Lets go home." Eeteuk said to the members. They all walked out of the building, very slowly and lazily. They got into the separate cars they came in. "Buckle up,please," Eetuek started, "I really don't want a repeat of this."
*~*~*~*
The members came back the next day. Some with balloons saying the ever popular 'get well soon' slogan on them, and some with flowers. The doctor told them Heechul still wasnt awake, but could go see them.
The members visited him in tiny groups. Some had to hurry because they had schedules they had to go to. Hankyung was the last one to visit him.
Hankyung walked into Heechul's hospital room slowly, and quitely. The doctor was inside, he had been examining all the equipment that connected itself to Heechul and wrote every detail down on the clipboard he held firmly with his left hand."How is he doing?" Hankyung asked the doctor, while staring at Heechul, who looked lifeless. “He’s recovering beautifully. Should only be a month or so before he gets out.” Hankyung nodded and returned the smile he gave him .
Hankyung placed the flowers he brought for him on the lamp stand next to the bed. He walked around the doctor to the side of Heechul’s hospital bed and sat in a chair. He placed his hand on his and smiled at him, pushing hair out of his face with his other. The doctor quietly made his leave, so as not to disturb him. He rested hischeek on Heechul’s sheets. “I wish you’d wake up…” He sighed.
He stayed for another hour, just staring at him. He hoped he would wake up at any moment, so he could see his eyes again. His warm and inviting, big brown eyes. He wanted to go back in time, and force Heechul to come home with the other members, instead of letting him stay and visit his friend. He wanted to pretend this never happened. He wanted someone to wake him up from this horrible nightmare. But most of all, he wanted to have his chullie back...
*~*~*~
Heechul’s eyes fluttered open. He squinted as he tried to sit up, the pain in his chest suggesting otherwise. What happened? He wondered as he gave up on sitting and took a look around him. The windows about ten feet away had closed shutters to keep the people from outside from seeing in…or was it to keep the people inside from seeing out?
A heart beat monitor had connected itself to Heechul’s pointer finger by a wire and a plastic cover that held on tight. He looked down to find his left leg covered in white plaster. Oh, god, I’m in a hospital. He tried to keep his anxiety down. He had always hated hospitals. They were full of people in agony and always bad news.
Just then, the door swung open. His sister stepped in, mid-sentence. No doubt she was having a chat with herself again. She tended to do that alot. Her words stopped abruptly as her gaze set upon her awoken brother. Her mouth hung open and closed as she grinned from ear to ear. She hurried to his bed side, forgetting about the door. It slammed, startling Heechul. “How are you feeling?” she asked.
Heechul took another quick look around the room and answered dully, “Sick.”
Heejin laughed, “Hospitals never were your favorite place.” She thought for a bit. “What I meant was, does it hurt anywhere?”
Heechul nodded, “My ribs hurt.”
"They say you broke a few bones there." Heejin said.
"They?"
"The doctors, of course."
"Oh right." Heechul said with a pout. “You remember what happened?” Heejin asked after giggling at her brother’s remark.
“A car crash,” he nodded. He looked around the room again, his eyes falling on the flowers on the stand next to him. "Who brought those?"
"I don't know. Probably one of your Super Junior friends." Heejin replied, staring at the flowers.
"They came and visited me?" Heechul asked, a smile growing on his face.
"Of course they did. They told me they would be late coming today though. Schedules and all." Heejin replied.
They sat in silence for a moment; Heechul’s eyes still on the vase. “Well…,” Heejin finally said while stretching, “I’m going to go eat lunch. Want me to bring you back something?” Heechul took his gaze away from the flowers and smiled sweetly," No thank you."
"Ok. Be back in a bit!” She hurried to the door, opened it, looked back with a smile, then left.
Heechul sighed, wincing in pain. He couldn’t wait for the pain to go away. He had almost forgotten what it was like to not feel pain whenever you shifted in place. Just then he heard a knock on the door and looked up to find a familiar face. In the doorway stood Hankyung. He wore faded jeans with a plain black short sleeve shirt. He had a smirk on his face and held up a bouquet of flowers. “Hey, so you’re awake?”
Heechul felt his heart leap. He hated to admit that he had a crush on a close guy friend of his. He felt ashamed of his feelings. He blamed not only himself but society as well. Maybe if it weren’t thought as taboo to almost everyone, he’d be comfortable with it.
He figured this “crush” would go away with time and that maybe he was just imagining it. But with his friend standing there, in the doorway to his hospital room, he was sure he couldn’t keep lying to himself, and that nearly scared him more than the fact that he was in the hospital. “Hey, Hankyung,” Heechul replied with a nervous smile.
Hankyung shifted in place, not sure what to do. “I, uh, brought you some flowers. Are you feeling any better?”
Heechul nodded, and then noticed Hankyung’s uncertainty. “Come on in!”
Hankyung smiled, closing the door carefully. He looked at the vase next to Heechul’s bed and chuckled. “I wonder who brought those.”
Heechul glanced at the vase then back to Hankyhung,"Ah. So your the mysterious flower bringer?" Hankyung only laughed in response and sat in a chair next to his bed. "So why did you bring more?"
"Because you deserve to have nice new fresh flowers at your bedside everyday." Hankyung replied. placing the flowers in the vase with the other ones. Heechul eyed him suspiciously. “So where’s your sister?” Hankyung asked trying to change the subject.
"She went to go eat lunch." Heechul answered.
“So how are you holdin’ up? I know how much you hate hospitals…,” Hankyung became serious.
Heechul was surprised at his change of tone. “I’m fine….I’ll be fine.” Hankyung nodded and sat back in his chair. “Why? Do you worry about little ol’ me?” he joked.
Hankyung grinned, “You know I do. So do the rest of the guys.”
Heechul closed his eyes for a moment. He was glad to have friends that worried about him. He just hoped they didn’t worry too much. “Well you can tell them that I’m alive and kicking.”
“I will.” The room fell silent. Then: “So…,” he trailed off, eyeing the room, careful not to look at Heechul for long. Looking at him too long caused something in his stomach to flutter.
"How have you been Hankyung?" Heechul asked, in a very quiet tone. "Not so well." Hankyung replied.
"Why not?" Heechul asked, confused.
"Because of you. You have no idea what you put me through. I was worried, scared, and angry."
"Angry. What could you be angry about?"
"I was angry at myself for letting you stay. I should have made you come home with the rest of us.Or maybe if I had stayed with you.."
"Ok. Stop." Heechul interrupted him."This," Heechul started, waving a hand over his body, "Is not your fault. I'm the one who didn't wear my seatbelt. This is no one else's fault but mine."
They grew silent. Neither one knew what to say next.
"Chul ah.." Hankyung said slowly.
"Yes?"
"Can you promise me something?" Hankyung asked softly, almost whispered.
"Of course. What is it?"
"Promise..promise you will never leave me." Hankyung said, looking at Heechul with very intense eyes.
Heechul felt like he couldn't breath. He couldn't believe the words that just came out of the other's mouth. He just stared at Hankyung.
" Heechul, just promse me that one thing."' Hankyung said in a desperate tone, tears breaming on the edge of his eyelids.
"Yes..yes. I promise I will never leave you." Heechul said. "Dont cry." Heechul sat up, not caring about the jolt of pain he felt, he wiped away the tears that fell Hankyung's eyes, and now lingered on his cheeks.
Hankyung captured Heechul's hand at his cheek, and held it. He looked at Heechul as if he was about to disappear, and Heechul returned the gaze.
Hankyung moved in closer to Heechul. They faces were just a few inches apart. Heechul closed his eyes, waiting for what was about to happen. Hankyung titled his head, moving even closer towards Heechul.
"Hey. Heechul I brought you back pudding, even though..." Heejin burst through the door, making the two jump apart , interrupting the moment. Heechul glared at his sister, who came in at the worst possible moment. She noticed what she had done,"Oh umm.. sorry. Hope I didn't interrupt anything." Heejin said with a nervouse laugh.
"It's ok. I should be going anyway." Hankyung said standing up from his chair." You'll be back tomorrow right?" Heechul asked.
"Of course." Hankyung answered with a smile."I'll bring more flowers." Hankyung winked to Heechul. "Bye Heejin." And with that he walked out of the room.
"Did you really have to walk in now?!" Heechul yelled to his sister, making him wince in pain. "See that pain was karma. Don't yell at your big sister. And how was I suppose to know there was a love connection going on in here?" Heejin said.
"But he was about to kiss me!" Heechul yelled again, getting another jolt of pain which made him wince.
"Will you stop yelling, it's obviously causing you pain." Heejin said, holding back a laugh.
"You’re the pain." heechul retorted, sticking his tongue out at her.
Fin.
