Resurrection - Part II
Title: Resurrection
Rating: PG
Pairing: Sehun/Kai
Summary: A piercing scream, a loud honk, a powerful crash... did he come back to life?
"Please. We're not in high school anymore." Chanyeol wiggled his eyebrows as he shoved the doors open and the music blared immediately in their ears.
Chanyeol, too tall to see the view completely, led them over a swarm of bodies while the others tried not to get stepped on or squeezed in between other people. Suho held onto Chanyeol's torso as it felt uncomfortable to reach onto his shoulders to save himself from being dragged by others. He was followed by Kyungsoo who was clinging really tightly on his shoulder blades, and then Kai who only held Sehun's hand tighter while he pulled him to the way Chanyeol was guiding them to. Sehun's other hand was clasped tightly to Baekhyun's who was walking behind him. Normally, Kai would play the jealous boyfriend and bark jokingly at anyone trying to touch his Sehun. But then he just can't seem to pull it on Baekhyun when he knew he is the closest to him, in fact he's probably his bestfriend even though Sehun says he treats them all equally, and Baekhyun... well Baekhyun doesn't really join cheesy conversations to share his relationship with Sehun. So Kai just let them be.
"Aha." Chanyeol plopped himself on an empty sofa seat on the left while he patted the available space beside him.
The five of them took their seats while Chanyeol raised his hand and ordered for their beer.
"This is exciting." Kyungsoo squeaked and Suho gave him an amused expression.
"I can hold my alcohol really well." Suho stated with a hint of a challenge and Chanyeol's ears perked up at that.
"Is that a dare?" Chanyeol responded earnestly.
"I don't think you can match up with me." Kai joined in, looking at the oldest among them with a smirk.
Kyungsoo's eyes just followed whoever was speaking from side to side. He wasn't going to take up the building up challenge since he knew how low his alcohol tolerance is.
"This guy is just silent but he's a heavy drinker!" Sehun pointed to the watching Baekhyun. He immediately slapped Sehun's hand away.
"I'm not joining." He huffed.
"Do I sense weakness?" Chanyeol put a hand behind his ear to mock him more.
"Guys, Baekhyun is just scared he'll burst into a song once he's drunk and belt his heart out." Kai spread his hands as if he's trying to calm everyone down.
Suho and the others snickered and gave Kai a punch each. Sehun chuckled along with them and Baekhyun squinted his eyes and gave him a glare. Kai chuckled at him with a smile on his face. He knew that signature Baekhyun glare, it only meant he's in.
"Dance! Dance! Dance!" The three slightly drunk people chanted while Sehun and Baekhyun pushed Kai onto the floor. Kyungsoo was forced to join the drinking game and in three shots, he was already giggling to himself every now and then. "Dance!"
The club was full of people. Kai did some popping in front of their table, and then gracefully added his moves while he swiftly skipped and slipped on the floor turning his head from side to side along with his shoulders moving to the groove. Soon enough, most of the people dancing at the middle stopped and turned to watch the intense dance Kai had been showing off.
"You go too!" Chanyeol pointed a finger at Sehun, earning a frantic shaking of the head from him, but Baekhyun chuckled softly and pushed him towards Kai.
"C'mon, show it Sehun."
Sehun covered his face with his hands and flushed red at the attention but had his smile on anyway.
"Sehun! Sehun!" Suho and Chanyeol cheered. Kyungsoo was already on his feet, chanting an inaudible "Sehun!" between his hiccups. Even Baekhyun was clapping with them.
Kai laughed lightly and faced the embarrassed Sehun. Kai did his cute body shake towards him until their chests almost touched. "C'mon Sehun."
Sehun cocked a brow at him and pushed him away lightly. Then, he started advancing on him with chest pumps while Kai stepped back, clearly entertained by that. He threw his hands at Sehun's sides as if mocking him. He, then, did the same thing Sehun did and they kept backing away and stepping back until they reached the middle. As if on cue, after Kai slapped Sehun's waiting hand, they both started a choreo they seemed to have danced together before. It sparked everyone's interest now. There were lots of twisting and turning, even exchanging places, and they were both in sync. The crotch grabbing part made some girls scream and Kai only looked at either nothing or Sehun when they danced. His hair was sticking on his face as his sweat poured down during the intense dance, Sehun's bangs flying everywhere when he flipped his hair. They ended with a pose with Sehun facing front and Kai's back on everyone, both of them face to face, inclining their heads together until they almost met in the middle, panting heavily from the work out.
Everyone bellowed with cheers and whistles. Chanyeol was already on his feet as well, swinging his beer bottle in the air. Kai was still facing Sehun's close face and he winked. Sehun laughed and pushed past him to his friends. Kai's shoulders were rising up and down as he panted and followed Sehun immediately. He slapped his behind once and laughed a bit louder this time.
"Sehun is out." Chanyeol declared, chopping the air to gesture that Sehun had lost. He, too, was already slightly feeling funny but he said he could still hold on a little longer.
"I'm not." Sehun barely managed as he spoke quite sleepily.
"Dude, your face is already an indicator of your drunkeness. Don't forget that you react to alcohol really bad." Chanyeol pointed out.
True enough, Sehun was already full red in the face. His skin would always react this way whenever he has an alcohol intake. The shade of red would only determine how much he had taken. Clearly, this time, he's in a very very dark shade
of red.
Sehun shook his head lazily.
"Sehun." Kai put his face in between his hands, a smile tugging on his lips, amused. "You're already too drunk."
He pulled his head in and kissed him full on the lips, cutting off his oxygen, while Sehun just slapped his shoulder weakly to pull away. Kai chuckled and Sehun turned redder, if it was even possible.
"Fine." Sehun leaned his head on Kai's shoulder and closed his eyes, too sleepy to even move.
"This old man's out too." Baekhyun, who rarely talks unless he's really really high, just pushed Suho's head to the side. Suho only groaned and slouched on his seat, sleeping.
Kyungsoo had been knocked out 15 minutes ago.
"It's just us now." Kai, already slightly tipsy, grabbed the next bottle on the table. They sure spent a lot on all the beers.
They drank for a few more minutes and Chanyeol already withdrew.
"I'm done guys. Good luck on carrying me back." He leaned back on the sofa and his head fell next to Kyungsoo's.
"I guess it's down to us." Baekhyun said with a smug. Kai shook his head at his cockiness when he's not himself.
"No. I give up. You win." Kai said in defeat and he stood to carry Sehun in his arms.
Disappointment passed Baekhyun's face. "Yah. You only want to take him home immediately."
Kai smiled. "We still have to carry them all home. Can you take Chanyeol alone?"
Baekhyun put a thought on it.
"No." He frowned. He was still disappointed that Kai didn't battle him man-to-man. He knew he was going to win.
Kai smiled. "Ok then. Can you carry Kyungsoo and Suho while I take over Sehun and Chanyeol?"
"Sure." Baekhyun nodded.

The room was silent but for the dragging sound coming from the patient monitor.
One beep.
Two beeps.
Three beeps.
The green line formed into zigzags assymetrically. It went on and on and on. The sound from the machine was the only company of the four awake people in the room. They wished it would never stop beeping that way. As if the person's heartbeats depended on the monitor.
The thing continued to beep.
♦
"Sehun." Kai was in Sehun's room. He turned the lights on and pulled the blankets off of the sleeping boy.
"Get up now." Kai sat just beside him and Sehun pulled the sheets back over him unconsciously.
"Hey!" Kai flicked his forehead and Sehun grunted in response. "Wake up. Your mom called."
He only received a groan from the younger one before he turned in bed and buried his face on the pillow.
"She said she'll pick you up today."
Still no response.
Kai sighed. "You leave me no choice."
For a few seconds, Sehun laid there in silence. And then he screamed.
"Ouch! That hurts!" Sehun sat up and glared at Kai menacingly.
"You wouldn't get up." Kai shrugged and watched as Sehun rubbed his bare right shoulder. Apparently, Kai bit him hard on that spot.
"Here." The older took the other's hand that was hovering over his shoulder and replaced it with his own. His bite mark was too obvious and Kai could feel the marking on his skin. "Sorry."
He lowered his lips on the flushed part and kissed it gently. Again. And again. And again. He dipped his head once more and let his lips warm on the tingling skin. Sehun had his eyes closed while Kai held his other arm for support.
Kai looked at Sehun's pleasure-d face and the temptation wasn't really bearable. He leaned in to capture his slightly parted lips and Sehun almost choked in surprise. But he caught up with it almost immediately and wrapped his arms around Kai's neck. He laced his fingers on his hair while Kai moved closer to fill any space in between them, having chest against chest and skin against skin. The passionate kiss turned into something more as Kai slipped in a tongue which Sehun allowed in at once and he returned the favor by sucking on it gently. A moan came out of their lips as Kai guided Sehun's back down to his bed, his head to his pillows, and he kissed him more eagerly and urgently. As soon as Sehun was lying back down on the matress, Kai positioned his knees beside his hips and leaned in to Sehun by supporting his weight through his hands on either side of Sehun's head. Sehun grabbed onto his neck and pulled him deeper onto him, not once letting go of his lips as they bit on each other aggressively. Sehun bit a little too hard on Kai's lower lip and Kai almost pulled away in surprise, but Sehun locked him down with his legs wrapped tightly around Kai's waist.
"What are you doing?" Kai teased as he pulled back a bit to look at his face, his head cocked to the side. He unconsciously licked the bottom part of his lip which was slightly red resulting from the bite he received a few moments ago.
Sehun forcefully leaned forward to swipe his tongue under it, he felt guilty. He pecked him on the spot and flashed him a sheepish grin.
Kai gave him another long kiss.
"C'mon. Get up. Your mom said she'll be coming and will pick you up in a few. Guess you're going somewhere today." Kai pulled free from Sehun's clingy limbs and helped him up as well.
Sehun pouted.
"She makes it sound like I'm still a kid."
"Can't blame her. You are a kid."
Sehun pushed Kai and tried to get off of the bed.
"Just kidding." Kai caught his wrist. "But you're her only child. It's just normal for her to be watching you closely. She's just protective of you."
"Well, I'm a grown up now. We're graduating soon. She should loosen up sometimes." Sehun shrugged as he put on his pants.
"If she ever loosens up on you, you know someone else will be protective over you." Kai said as he watched Sehun pick between his clothes before putting on a fresh new shirt.
"Go away." Sehun mildly pushed Kai the second time away. That's a sign of a mood swing.
"Just take care with Auntie." Kai placed a soft kiss on Sehun's lips before he exited his room. That expression he left on Sehun's face just meant he just got more irritated by him. So much for being so moody.
♦
The white room still stayed silent apart from the few beeps from the patient monitor.
No one was moving from their seats.
One beep.
Two beeps.
Three beeps.
Kai gradually saw light from the narrow cracks of his eyes. His vision was clouded by the strong light emmitting in his room.
One beep.
Two beeps.
Three beeps.
He counted in his head. What was that he was hearing?
His eyes were fully opened now and his blurry vision was starting to clear. Where was he?
The white ceiling welcomed him, the light slightly blinding him for a moment before he could focus on his surroundings.
Kai stirred.
He slowly opened his mouth to speak, his fingers moving from the numbness.
"Kai?" He heard a sleepy voice near him.
"Kai." The man beside him jolted and sat up straight.
"Kai!" He exclaimed, and Kai could sense the rest of the people in the room making sudden movements and suddenly, four heads were looking down at him.
Kai closed his eyes from the images appearing in front of him.
"Guys, let him breathe." A more mature voice spoke. Everyone stepped away from his bed.
"Kai, how are you feeling?"
"Are you hurting?"
"Are you okay?"
"What do you need?"
"Tell me whatever you need."
"Guys!" That fatherly voice again. The other two voices stopped.
"I told you to give him a breather." He spoke much calmly.
"I'm sorry." Said the other two voices in unison. And suddenly, Kai knew whom they belong to.
"Chanyeol. Kyungsoo." Kai managed to say in surprisingly a clear voice.
He heard them gasp.
"I think he's okay." The voice that gave those two orders said.
"Suho." Kai smiled a little at the recognition.
He opened his eyes again. He saw four people standing at the foot of his bed, staring at him as if he wasn't real.
"Baekhyun." He acknowledged the presence of Baekhyun who was looking at him worriedly.
"How are you feeling?" Baekhyun asked quietly.
Kai tried to sit up but he realized how his limbs had been numb. Chanyeol and Kyungsoo immediately went to his side and helped him up.
A buzz filled Kai's mind. How is he feeling? Aside from feeling numb, there's nothing else he's feeling.
"What happened?" He suddenly remembered to ask. One look at the appearance of the room and the machine situated near his head, he knew he's in a hospital. But why?
No one spoke.
Kai rack-ed his brain for an answer. What happened? He remembered he was running. He was chasing someone. And then he got hit. He got hit?
"What happened guys?"
Chanyeol bit his lip. Suho walked towards his bed.
"Kai. You got run over by a bus." Suho said fatherly, placing a hand on his shoulder.
"You got hit pretty badly." He paused, hesitating whether he should be the one saying this to him. "Your injuries were so bad, we thought... we thought..." He gulped.
"The doctor came on time. He saved you. B-but..." Suho glanced over at his friends. "You fell into a coma."
Kai was shocked at the news. He fell into a coma? He was living in the hospital all this time? For how long? A few days? Weeks? A month? He couldn't take that long.
"How long had I been here?" Kai asked, afraid of the answer. How long could a person stay in a coma? 6 months? 9 months?
Suho looked at him sympathetically.
"3 years."
A weird feeling tugged at Kai's insides. He was asleep for that long? How could he sleep longer than a day? What was wrong? How bad was the accident?
He closed his eyes again. This time, seeing the last scene he had when he was awake, unharmed.
It was their first anniversary, and he planned something for Sehun. The first point was to break up with him, the second was to kidnap him. Kai had always been fond of a dramatic scene. He had always wanted something to happen to him like those in dramas. But just like how he blew up his first confession to Sehun, his plan never worked out in the end. He remembered running after Sehun, chasing after him and calling his name. And then that's when it happened. A bus came over and hit him. It sent him flying.
Kai forced to open his eyes.
"Where's Sehun? Does he know I'm awake?"
There was dead silence.
"Can you tell Sehun I'm awake now." Kai looked at Chanyeol who was nearest him who avoided his eyes. He turned to Kyungsoo who had his head bowed down. The moment he turned to Suho and found him looking at the wall, a new fear gripped him on the inside.
"Where's Sehun?" The words merely escaped his lips as he stared back at Baekhyun who didn't remove his gaze at him.
"Sehun is..." Suho started, biting his lips.
Baekhyun slowly sat on Kai's bed, just in front of him.
"...gone." Kyungsoo whispered beside him.
Kai shifted his gaze from Baekhyun to Kyungsoo, his eyes wide in bewilderment.
Suddenly, he felt arms wrap tightly around him. His face met someone's neck and a hand ran down his back soothingly.
"He's dead." Chanyeol spoke clearly.
It was then that Kai realized who was hugging him.
Baekhyun.
Of course, he knew how much pain it would bring him.
Sehun was Baekhyun's bestfriend after all.
And Sehun was Kai's life.
