Given-Taken

9-Garden

Third Person's POV

Jake entered the garden. Looking around. He let out a breath.

'I might sound crazy but here we go.'

"Sunghoon? Sunghoon are you here? Or whoever you are?"

Jake said, calling out no one in particular. He face palmed.

'You just went out for two days and now you're calling someone you don't even have any idea who. Great Jake. You're crazy.'

Just when he was about to go out, he heard a faint noise.

"Magnolias......"

'Mag— what?'

Carefully, he entered the garden.

"Magnolias......"

'What's with magnolias?'

Jake looked around. Spotting no one. He went further, he saw something.

'Is that a person?!'

He rushed to see who was lying in the ground. He held Sunghoon, lightly shaking and tapping him.

"Hey? Hey can you hear me? Are you Sunghoon?"

He tapped his face. Stopping when Sunghoon opened his eyes.

"O-oh. You're awake now. By any chance? Are you Sunghoon?"

Jake spoke to him. Sunghoon's vision is in a blur. But he is getting engulfed to the scent. 𝘛𝘰 𝘑𝘢𝘬𝘦'𝘴 𝘴𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘵.

"Magnolias......"

"Okay. I don't know what a flower has to do with this but—"

Jake stopped. Sunghoon raised his hand as he touched his face. Following the traces of his eyes, his nose, and his lips. Then he held his face.

"You're real......"

Jake laughed nervously.

"O-of course I'm real. A-are you Sunghoon?"

Sunghoon looked so drowsy. He looked like he's going to fall asleep at any moment. He faintly hummed as he nodded his head.

Then Jake remembered what Heeseung said.

'Right. Bring him to the clinic.'

"Uhm. Sunghoon. Let's go to the clinic."

He said as he helped him stand up. Jake put his hand around his shoulder as he held his waist. He started to carry him to the clinic.

Sunghoon felt himself burn with the closeness but he's not complaining. He will 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 complain if it's Jake.

'He's so addicting.'

They reached the clinic, as if the nurse is expecting them, she immediately offered them a bed. After checking on Sunghoon, she looked at Jake.

"Stay here and wait for him to wake up okay? Don't leave him here I need to run an errand. It's important."

Jake nodded. The nurse smiled at him as she went out. Jake stared at Sunghoon sleeping.

'What do I have to do with you?'

He sat in the chair beside the bed as he felt himself feeling sleepy.

'Why do I suddenly want to sleep? I just had a nap a while ago.'

Not minding his thoughts, he rested his head in the wall as he closed his eyes. He drifted off to sleep.

The moment he did, Sapphire entered the room. She signalled Crescent, the nurse to watch outside, making sure that no one will disturb them.

She snapped her fingers and Sunghoon starts to wake up. Groaning, he held his head. The moment he opened his eyes, he was surprised to see Sapphire staring at him.
