However, when she left the bedroom, she found them sitting at the kitchen table, hands clutching a large mug of coffee. They regarded her with bloodshot eyes.
oh they're still there thank god

omg minjung still helping kibum despite wanting to pickle his guts and have them for breakfast, bless this lil turtle. i keep wavering between wanting her to be more kind and less kind lmao

man, i believe kibum when he says he doesn't remember. and you did describe him as hecked up several times. so clearly... something..... is going on here........

“Thanks for the ride,” and lurched out of the car. He walked swiftly toward the house, his head down and his shoulders hunched, looking oddly young and small in his pale pink socks.
kibummmmmmmmmm. this is pretty much the first time i've found him likeable in this entire story, because *vulnerability*

something is seriously wrong with kibum and it's making me so nervous because i don't want anything to happen to taemin

“He’s always like this. You’d think he’d made off with a nuclear warhead every time he pilfers a tiny vanilla ice cream cup from the nurse’s fridge.”
protect taem at all costs T-T softest babe

“Don’t worry, we’ll have you feeling much better in just a couple of minutes,” the nurse said, a little too loudly
OKAY. THIS RIGHT HERE. why do nurses and doctors always do this?? speak a little too loudly. it drives me insane. like - i'm sick, i'm not five or hard of hearing. settle down

I thought I could walk back in and join you guys, and then--I don’t know, man. I just. Panicked, I guess.
wraps taemin in a blanket
like a burrito

okay this has nothing to do with anything but, earlier i used the word patronizing in a comment and then you used it like the next paragraph, and now:
he was going to make himself into a refried shit burrito

get out of my mind u mindreader :v

“He’s out already,” Minjung said. “Wish I had that gift.”
an actual baby

“No mushrooms please?” he said hopefully.
give the baby what he wants!!!!!

Taemin ate greedily, stuffing his mouth until it was overfull, and then gulping down his water to wash it down. He refilled his bowl twice before his pace slowed down, and he began to dart nervous little glances at Jonghyun, whose face was still turned away.
his priorities are giving me strength. eat first address shitty behaviour later
because, you see, he needs the food for energy

taemin fidgeting with stuff to be able to get through stressful things, ughh he is so tiny and soft. they're all tiny and soft, actually. i mean, kibum wasn't, but now he's sick and also tiny and soft. i love them all so much ughhh and something horrible is going to happen i just know it

“And I think I’m wearing one of those gowns that don’t cover your ass properly. This is embarrassing.”
his PRIORITIES omg please my little fashion duckling just make it out safely (i was in another city earlier tonight - i am reading this story over the span of a couple of days - and there were chickens in a park and i fed them a little bread and hung out with them, so now i want to make a lot of bird references? one of the chickens took a nap besides us and she was SO FEATHERY AND ROUND and i wanted to take her home. anyways)

“Jinki. I need to call Jinki and let him know this might delay my flight. Wait, what day is it?”
i'm actually surprised none of them have bothered reaching out to jinki so far. like hey, your partner is in a hospital but whatever i guess~ lmao

“I’m saying you’re going to need a double amputation below the knee,” the surgeon said.
WILL SOMEONE PLEASE CALL JINKI NOW oh my gosh

Kibum laughed, a brief mirthless huff. “They’re amputating because they’re legally liable if I die without them trying every last resort. They know they’re not gonna save me.” He took a deep breath. “I’m gonna be dead in a few hours.”
he's so cool and clearheaded about it, like, woah. i can see why jonghyun/junghee fell in love with him. also i'm refusing to believe he's going to actually die, like no please i need him to live to a hundred and ten and criticize kids strolling down the sidewalk of his house on their outfit choices
