Waiting (1/1)

Sunggyu opened his eyes slowly and looked around him weakly. Things is blurry at first and he tried to clear his vision. Soon after, he finally managed to look around him clearly. His got bandaged all around his abdomen and knuckles. A patch on his forehead and shoulder. "Gyu hyung..how do you feel?" Hoya leant down and looked at him carefully."Where am I?" Sunggyu asked, almost whispering. "Hospital..any pain? Should I call the doctor?" Hoya asked, fixing blanket on Sunggyu's body. Hoya jogged towards the door and opened it slightly. Sungjong is sitting at the bench outside the room. He was startled when Hoya perked from the room."Sungjong ah, call for doctor here... Sunggyu hyung is awake," he said with smile. "Really? Okay!" with that the maknae quickly ran to get a doctor. Sunggyu felt his head dizzy, his throat dry and his body numb. He suddenly remembered about what happened."Hoya!" he called the younger whose now preparing a glass of water for him. Hoya rushed next to him, helping the leader when he tried to sit up."Hyung..calm down..""Woohyunie! Woohyunie! Where is he?? Where is he??""Hyung...calm down first...let the doctor examine you first...please...""No! I need to see Woohyunie!" he struggled to get up. Usually he can overcomes Hoya's strength. But now, he felt he couldn't even fight Sungjong."Let me examine you first, Mr. Kim..." a doctor came together with Sungjong. This time, Sungjong came with the manager and Sunggyu's parents."Son, let the doctor examine you first..." his mother sat on the bed, cupped Sunggyu's worried and tired face. Sunggyu began to relax and nodded."Please hurry,""Of course, Mr.Kim," the doctor examined him thoroughly and smiled at them."After about a month, he will be as good as before. The injury fortunately is not deep enough to harm him. But please don't move your shoulder too much. It might add the pain. Overall, all you need is rest and take medicine," the doctor said. All of them seems relieve, but not Sunggyu. "Mom..Hyung...where is Woohyunie?" he asked them. Their expression does not show any good news. He then looked at Hoya and Sungjong. None of them looked at his face."Where is he? I need to see him. Where is he??" Sunggyu asked again, a bit louder this time. Seeing no one is answering him, with his strength left, he pulled Sungjong towards him."Maknae, answer me. Now!""His condition is not good, hyung... ," Sungjong said softly and slowly, trying to control his emotion. He has been crying for two days, waiting for both Sunggyu and Woohyun to wake up. All of them."W..what? What happened? Where is he?" Sunggyu asked, fearing for the worst. He was afraid to imagine anything, to think about anything.  With the help from Hoya and Sungjong, Sunggyu walked towards the quarantine room in the ICU. He gasped, letting another tears to fall when he saw the smaller man is lying on the bed, whereas some nurses and doctors are observing him."W..what happened? What is going on? Why is he here?" Sunggyu asked between his sobs. None of his members answered him. Not until Taecyeon came in anger. "You don't know??" Taecyeon asked angrily. Nichkhun fortunately there to control his friend. He held Taecyeon from attacking the poor leader."What do you mean?" "He took a wrong medicine all this while and nobody knows?? Really??" Taecyeon scoffed. Nichkhun had to pat his shoulder to calm the beast down."You should have shown me the medicine before you bring him to me! Another dose, then he'll die!""Dude, please calm down. They are not doctors, how come they would have know it. Even Woohyun didn't even know what was prescribed for him..Sunggyu is not the one to be blamed,""That Junho bastard! He is crazy!""Taec, please. Control yourself,""What will happen now?" Sunggyu asked weakly. Suddenly he took the blame. Taecyeon was right. He should have checked whatever was prescribed for the latter. Woohyun is a clumsy child. He would have never to think about it. While he, as the leader, as his lover, should have know it better."Taec, shut up. I will explain. Gyu, listen. All this while, Junho had prescribed him with a wrong medicine purposely. He had confessed everything he did at the police station. This medicine is the main cause why Woohyun's health is deterioted slowly. Seemed like Junho had shot him with a higher dosage that night. And being exposed to coldness with weak body caused him to have bad pneumonia. Right now, doctors are trying to clean his system. But it will depend on the chances...""What are the chances?" Sunggyu asked. "50/50. If he can overcome the pneumonia in less than a week, there is hope. But otherwise, the doctors cannot do anything else. You understand, right?" Nichkhun explained. Sunggyu sat on the floor with tears on his face. "It is all your fault, Sunggyu! Your fault!" Taecyeon hissed angrily before he walked away angrily. The members let Sunggyu sobbed silently, knowing it is the best for the leader to pour his heart out.   That night, Sunggyu went to Woohyun's room. He had asked for permission, but he had to wear a robe and mask, to prevent the latter from infection. Sunggyu sat next to the bed, leaning down as he took Woohyun' smaller hand into his. The bruise on Woohyun's forehead is quite visible. Tubes and wires are around his petite body. It scared Sunggyu."Hyunie, it's me. Sunggyu...can you hear me?" Sunggyu asked. His voice trailing tirely after his cry. Knowing Woohyun would hate it if he criwd, he tried not to."I am fine. I am waiting for you. Everyone is waiting for you. How long are you going to be a sleeping beauty? Do you want me to kiss you to wake you up?" Sunggyu smiled. But the smile doesn't last longer on his face. Using another hand, he caressed Woohyun's head lovingly."I miss you. I am sorry. I should have been honest with you. I miss you like crazy.." Sunggyu whispered. He examined Woohyun's pale face carefully. Hoping for the sight of waking up."Remember the cotton candy at the store you said before? They finally made what you had requested last year. Took them a year to make strawberry flavor right? I bet you will proudly tell the other members since it is a popular flavor now. Shall we go together? But only one, okay?" Sunggyu said, smiling as he imagining Woohyun's proud face."I take that back. You can eat two. You need to gain weight. Your weight right now is like a girl. I don't like that. I miss your cheeks," his hand caressing Woohyun's sunken cheek. "Please stay with me. I promised you, I will take care and protect you. Help me make it real, okay? I love you..." Sunggyu leant down and kissed Woohyun's temple. He moved to Woohyun's cheek but hid his face at Woohyun's crook of neck as he can't hold his tears anymore. He bit his lower lip as he tried not to make any noise. But his tears...fell nonstop.   Nichkhun's eyes widen when Sungjong and Myungsoo told him about what happened. He frowned deeply, making them confused."Did Woohyun tell you anything about how he lived with Taec?""No, he cut contact with us," Sungjong said."Are you sure?""Yes. Khun hyung, why?""I don't think it is a right decision. Bring back Woohyun to your place. It is the best,""Hyung, may I asked something?" Hoya suddenly interrupted."Sure,""How did you know Dr. Kim and Dr. Taecyeon?""We were highschool buddies. After graduated, we studied at London together. They were cousins. And Eunji is our neighbourhood friend. I tell you what, three of us had crush on her back then. But mine is so little because after soon, I met someone else at London. Both of them really liked her. But they never confessed. While Eunji is waiting for Junho to confess. The night she died because of the car accident, she told us she was going to confess to someone. We didn't know why she called a man named Sunggyu before that. He was the last person she called.." "He didn't tell us. But I think Dongwoo hyung knew this," Sungjong predicted. Because at that time, Dongwoo was close with tempered Sunggyu, while everyone else afraid of him."Could be. It was all because of misunderstood. I am kind of dissappointed at him. Never thought he would try to kill someone,""How about Taecyeon?" Hoya suddenly remembered Taecyeon's gaze that night. It still brought him shiver."How about me?" they turned around in shock to see a smiling Taecyeon.
