Summary: Someone's working too hard and someone's moving heaven and hell to get where he needs to be.
Diclaimer: All mine. Not.
A/N: This just popped into my head and so I wrote it down. I seem to have a thing for angsty cliché GTOP fics involving an over-worked leader. =/
This was the first time since they were officially an item, that they were seperated by countries. Seunghyun was in Korea, filming IRIS, while Jiyong was in Japan with the rest of Big Bang, preparing for the promotion activities for their new single.
To say it was hard for both of them was an understatement.
Seunghyun couldn't even remember the last time he had to fall asleep without listening to Jiyongs steady breath and feeling the weight of his lovers head on his chest. And now, all he had was Jiyong's teddy to hug.
When he woke up this particular morning, he didn't feel too well. He had a bad feeling about something but couldn't quite put a finger on it. A look at the calendar next to his bed told him that he had another three days until he would follow the others to Japan. He took the red felt pent from his nightstand and drew another big cross on the past day at the calendar.
Then he got ready and left the apartment, heading for the set of IRIS. Upon arriving, he was greeted by the other actors and soon, the filming started, distracting Seunghyun from any sad or unwelcome thoughts.
They filmed until after lunchtime before they were allowed a 30 minutes break. Seunghyun went to the trailer where they put their personal belongings during filming. He couldn't get rid of this weird feeling in his stomach and began to wonder what it could mean.
He checked his cellphone first and was very surprised to find out he had missed seven calls in the past hours. Three from Seungri and four from Youngbae. The weird feeling only got worse and he immediately called Youngbae back.
"Hyung! Finally!" he was greeted.
"Bae, what's up? Why were you trying to reach me so desperately?"
"It's about Jiyong, Hyun."
An ice cold shiver ran down Seungyhuns spine.
"What about him?" he asked hesistantly.
"..."
"Youngbae! Talk to me. What about Jiyong?"
"Alright, alright. Just...promise you won't freak out, okay?"
"I won't." 'promise anythig' he added in his thoughts.
"Okay, so...Jiyong, you see, he's...working hard for the new single, the promotion activies, the new songs, the..."
"Dong. Young. Bae!"
"Yeah, yeah. He fainted this morning and is in hospital now."
"In...hospital?"
"Yes, but it's nothing serious. They just want to check him thoroughly and keep a watch on him for this night. He'll be out tomorrow. So just don't worry too much, yeah? Seungri thought you should at least know."
"I'll be right there."
"What? No, Seunghyun listen..." but he already hung up and was on his way to the director, asking to be released for the rest of the day, making up some story about his grandma being very sick.
Thankfully, the director was nice enough to let him go. Not that Seunghyun would have stayed if he hadn't been released. He raced back to the apartment, got some of his stuff and went straight to Incheon to grab the next flight to Tokyo.
It was just his luck that he had to wait three hours for the next flight. The flight due to leave in a few minutes had just stopped boarding and not even he being who he was helped matters. The check-in lady obviously wasn't that much of a Big Bang fan, he thought, pacing around aimlessly.
He tried to reach one of his bandmates again, but neither Daesung nor Seungri picked up and Youndbaes phone was shut off completely.
He's probably with Ji, Seunghyun thought.
The thought of his lover being in hospital pained him. Sure, Youngbae said it wasn't bad, but he fainted, for god's sake. He could've hit his head in a very bad way and could've died because of an internal bleeding or something. Seunghyun felt his breath becoming uneven and told himself to calm down.
The three hours until his flight felt like days and during the two hours the flight took, he was all fidgety and probably annoyed the hell out of the poor lady sitting next to him.
Upon arriving in Tokyo he realized that he was lacking one very crucial information: in which hospital was Jiyong? He cursed himself and practically ran through the baggage claim- and passport control areas, to be finally able to switch on his phone again, hoping the he could reach one of his bandmates now. Or at least their manager. Though he probably wouldn't be too happy to learn that Seunghyun was in Tokyo and not in Seoul.
But all worries were unnecessary as he got a message as soon as he switched his phone on.
'Tokyo Metropolitan Hiroo Hospital' was all it said and he swore he'd buy Youngbae a new cap for that message, which saved his life. Or at least he felt like it saved his life.
He rushed out of the airport building, grabbed the nearest taxi and told the driver the name of the hospital. Again, he felt like it took them days to get through Tokyo traffic. The driver seemed to sense Seungyhun's anxiety and threw him some weird looks through the back mirror.
By the time they reached the hospital, it was already getting dark outside. He was lucky that he had already changed some of his money into Yen a few days ago, knowing that he'd follow his bandmates sooner or later. So he could pay the taxi driver and rushed into the bulding. He stopped at the information desk, doing his best in asking the lady behind the counter for Jiyong's room. In Japanese.
The lady asked him something, but she talked way too fast for him and he couldn't quite concentrate anyway.
Dammit, where's Bae when I need him?
As if on cue, Youngbae just exited the elevator on the other side of the entrance hall, immediately spotting his hyung at the information desk. He looked pretty desperate and Youngabe thought it was actually kinda funny how he tried to talk to the lady in Japanese. He decided to take pity on him.
"You took way longer than I expected you to." he greeted the rapper.
"Oh my god, Bae. I've never been so happy to see you."
"Why thank you."
He then told the confused lady that it was alright now and that he'd take the other to his desired location.
They took the elevator up to the fifth floor.
"How is he?" Seungyhun wanted to know.
"I told you he's alright. Nothing to worry about. Or to move heaven and hell for." he eyed his hyung from the side.
"The docs said that he was just stressed and Jiyong admitted that he hadn't slept for 62 hours straight. Daesung and I were against telling you from the beginning, but Seungri insisted on it, I'm sorry."
"No...no, it's good that you told me. I need to be with him right now."
"Right."
They arrived on the floor and Youngbae led Seungyun to the right room. Seunghyun hesitated a moment.
"Does he know that I'm..."
"Nope. Figured I should spare him any agitation about your unreasonable behaviour until it's unavoidable."
He sighed.
"Plus, he's been asleep until a few minutes ago. Listen, I'll go back down. I intially went to the lobby to get a coke, so....I'll just do that. And I'll call Daesung and Seungri to let them know that you're here now."
"'kay." then Seunghyun turned around to face the door, took a deep breath and carefully stepped into Jiyong's room.
Jiyong seemed indeed pretty fit. He sat up on his bed, nodded his head to the music coming from his iPod and read a music magazine. He looked up when he saw someone entering and felt like he'd faint again.
"What are you doing here?" he asked.
"Looking after my boyfriend, who obviously can't properly look after himself." Seunghyun shot back.
"But...you are supposed to be in Seoul. You're supposed to shoot your drama."
"And I was, until I got a call from Youngbae."
"Oh, this damn..."
"No, it wasn't his fault. Apparently, Seungri insisted on letting me know. And I'm glad he did. I immediately rushed to the airport and grabbed the next plane leaving for Tokyo."
"You really shouldn't have. You have work to do. Besides, I'm alright."
"Are you really, though?" Seunghyun asked, his voice gentler now and he slowly moved from the middle of the room to the side of Jiyong's bed. "I was told you collapsed due to stress. And why the hell didn't you sleep for like two and a half days? Any reasonable explanation for that?"
Jiyong looked down on his hands resting over his stomach.
"I guess not." he admitted.
The rapper plopped down on the side of his boyfriend's bed and sighed.
"I was so worried when I heard you collapsed. Do you have any idea what could have happened? You could have hit you head on a table and died, or..." he was shut up when Jiyong grabbed his face with both hands and kissed him.
"But nothing happened." he said when they parted. He used his thumbs to caress Seunghyun's cheeks and looked him into the eyes. "I'm okay. Really." he added, when he saw the doubtful look his lover gave him.
"Also, my breakdown does have a bright side." he smiled.
"And that would be...?"
"You're here now. You have no idea how much I missed you this past week."
"Oh, I think I have an idea of that."
"Really? So you probably also know how horny I am after a whole week without you?"
Seunghyun laughed. "You're unbelievable, Jiyong."
"And you love me."
"Yeah. I do. Very much so." he leaned in and pecked his boyfriend's lips.
"And I love you. Thanks for coming here...I guess."
"You will have to make up for it, when I join you guys in three days."
"Oh, I had some time to consider all kinds of dirty ways to make whatever up to you, believe me."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Being awake for 62 hours is possible. Tried it for a concert marathon. It's not nice and I, too, felt like fainting any second, but it's possible. Says me, who's right now awake since exactly 24 hours. Maybe I do have sleeping issues. o_O
