Chapter 12:
Changmin had spent nearly two hours in the pouring rain, walking aimlessly, desperately trying to rid himself of the pain in his heart, but only serving to increase the pain in every other part of his body. He felt so confused. So hurt. So ill...and for the first time since the discovery of his illness, he prayed that death could come to take him faster.
When he finally stopped wandering, he found himself in front of Kyuhyun's apartment, subconsciously feeling like this was the only place he could belong. At least for a little while.
Kyuhyun opened his apartment door at the sound of the door bell and felt his heart stop because there, in front of him, was Changmin, shivering and looking deathly pale with tears streaming down his face. Kyuhyun reached out a shaking hand when he saw Changmin stumble slightly and yanked his best friend into his embrace, trying to provide the obvious comfort that Min seemed to need.
"Kyuhyun-ah, let me sleep here for a while, ok?...I'll explain everything soon, but just let me rest here... I feel so tired..." Kyuhyun felt tears gather in his eyes as he heard his friend's hoarse and listless voice. He nodded against Changmin's wet chest before pulling him gently into his bedroom, where he helped him change out of his soaking wet clothes,into baggy sweatpants and a sweatshirt. He carefully tucked Changmin into bed and even went as far as to place a hot water bottle under the blankets to help warm the boy up faster.
When Kyuhyun turned to leave, Changmin grabbed hold of his wrist and held tight, "Kyu, call up my manager from my cell-phone, tell him to bring my medication, he'll understand what you mean." Kyuhyun frowned at the word "medication" but decided to let it go. I'll let him explain when he's upto it. He nodded at Changmin, before switching-off the lights in the bedroom and walking out into the living room to do what Min had asked him to do.
He let out a frustrated, "AISH!" when he heard the door bell ring. Wanting to tell the person outside to go away,Kyuhyun trudged his way towards the main door and threw it open, "Please comeback la-!" He stopped dead in his tirade when he saw Junsu and Yoochun leaning against his door frame, panting as if they'd run a marathon.
"Is Minnie here?" Junsu asked Kyuhyun in a panicked voice. Kyhyun stared at his two hyungs and cocked an eyebrow, "And if he is...?"
Yoochun tsked at the younger boy before pushing him aside and entering the apartment, after noticing Changmin's wet sneakers near the door.
Both Junsu and Yoochun walked towards the only bedroom in the entire apartment, where they saw a sleeping Min, looking frail and vulnerable under the thick blanket. Yoochun sat down on the edge of the bed and smiled sadly at his dongsaeng's sleeping form, pulling the white cover away from his face. He leaned down and planted a soft kiss on the younger one's forehead, using one hand to check the boy's temperature and the other to stroke the boy's soft hair. "Junsu-yah. He has a slight fever." Junsu put his hand on Changmin's forehead and nodded, "It's okay. It's probably from being in the rain for so long. He'll be fine if he can sleep it off."
Kyuhyun walked in and placed a hand on Junsu's shoulder, "He said something about asking the manager for his medication. Do you know what he was talking about?" Junsu nodded silently, "There's no need to call the manager. I have his medicines with me. He can have them when he wakes up." Kyuhyun nodded before sighing, "Please tell me what's wrong with him? I thought I'd have a heart attack when I opened the door and saw him looking the way he did." Junsu looked up at his dongsaeng's best friend with sad eyes before nodding. He turned towards Yoochun and patted him on the shoulder, indicating that they should leave the room and talk to Kyuhyun.
After what seemed like several hours, Changmin felt three bodies crawl into bed with him. He felt Kyuhyun's wet cheeks press against his own and knew that the boy had found out. He turned his head to look at the other figure flanking his side and saw Yoochun staring back at him. "You know?" Yoochun nodded quietly and watched as a single tear fell out of the corner of Changmin's eye. He reached out and wiped it away, " Don't cry. I'm sorry i said those things to you. I just wanted you to be yourself, and from now on I don't want YOU taking care of US. We're your hyungs, it's our job to protect you. And for the record Jaejoong is sorry too, probably more so than I am." Changmin nodded his head and laughed a little when he saw Yoochun's eyes well up with tears, "I know." With that he turned and held onto Yoochun's waist, burying his head in the other's warm chest and falling asleep, but not before he heard Yoochun's last words, "I love you minnie-yah. No matter what. So don't ever forget that. And just so that we're clear, next time, pick up your fucking phone so that we don't have to knock on every god damn person's door."
The next day:
Changmin woke up to a very awkward situation. Somehow during the course of the night they'd all changed positions. Changmin's face was now in the unfortunate position of being dangerously close to Yoochun's bum. He couldn't move because Kyuhyun was lying sprawled on top of him. He tilted his head down and noticed that Junsu's knee was perilously close to his crotch. God, I know you want to ensure that I die. But honestly, I'd prefer it if i wasn't gassed by Yoochun's morning debacle or kneed in the groin by Junsu.
As if answering his prayers, Kyuhyun let out a loud snore and slid off of him, causing changmin to laugh hoarsely at the distinctly unidol- like sound.
He sat up after gingerly pushing away Junsu's leg and stretched his arms out like a cat, wincing at the searing pain in his body. He glanced around the room and saw his medication lying on the side table, with a glass of water next to it. He patted Junsu on the head in silent thanks before taking the medicines, waiting patiently for them to take effect.
He picked up his cell-phone from the table and walked into the kitchen to make himself some breakfast. He looked at the eight missed calls on his phone and noticed that most of them were either from Jaejoong, Yunho or Junsu and sighed. He put his head down on top of the breakfast table and wondered how he would face the other two. His heart aching at the thought of looking at Jaejoong's dejected face.
He knew that Yoochun and Junsu were putting up a brave front and trying to be strong for him, but he could see right through them and sense the fear and uncertainty coursing through them. That's why he didn't want to tell them that he'd had something close to a relapse on his way to Kyuhyun's place, that he'd started to cough up more blood than the last few times. I have to stop thinking like this. I'm just going to dwell on things that are pointless. Nothing's going to get better. So there's no point in stating the obvious and telling them that your condition is getting progressively worse. Changmin sighed and directed his thoughts back to a less sensitive topic - Revenge.
He was staring at the wall in front of him in a daze, when he felt someone's hand on his shoulder, causing him to scream like a girl and turn around, clutching at his chest in an attempt to stop his heart from pounding out of his rib cage. "WHAT THE FUCK?! DON'T DO THAT!"
Junsu yanked his hand back in alarm at the sudden outburst and frowned, "Good morning to you too, Jackass." Changmin brushed off the insult and turned back to staring at the wall.
Junsu looked at Changmin's ridiculous condition and wondered if the medication was starting to affect his dongsaeng's brain. Not that it wasn't already severly affected.
Shaking his head he sat down in an empty chair and snacked on a piece of toast, watching as Changmin turned his attention from the wall to his phone. He frowned when he saw a dirty smile make its way across Changmin's face and shuddered when the boy turned his attention towards him. "Junsu-hyung..." Yep. The apocalypse is coming. "What?" Changmin just shook his head and grinned, "Nothing. I think I'm going to go take a shower." Junsu watched his dongsaeng's retreating back suspiciously, before shrugging and going back to his toast.
Changmin closed the bathroom door the minute he heard Junsu's phone buzz and smiled. 3..2...Junsu's scream tore through the air, causing the two individuals sleeping on the bed to fall off in shock.
Changmin relished in the horrified scream that Junsu was still letting out, and blissfully ignored the pounding on the bathroom door. He slid into the warm water of the bath tub and held out his left hand in front of him, smiling as he felt his day get just a little bit brighter.
Coz If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it woo oh ooh oh oh ooh oh oh ooh oh oh oh...All the single ladies.
A/N HAHAHA THE LAST LINE KILLED ME! Now see this chapter left me with a bittersweet feeling. The good thing is we've got our voldemin back...but on the other hand we've just figured out that Min's condition is getting worse and that he's now trying to protect his hyungs from this fact as well...foolish boy. I hope you'll enjoyed this chapter, because all hell is going to break loose in the next (AND BY HELL I MEAN JAEJOONG'S AND CHANGMIN'S CONFRONTATION 101)
