bloody sweet ; hyungwonho

the sound of the heart monitor resonates the occupied surgical room as the boy with hanahaki is under anaesthetic, hyunwoo with a scalpel on his hand while his assistants work beside him. changkyun sat outside anxiously, praying with all his might, hoping the surgery would be a success. jooheon currently asleep on minhyuk's lap. kihyun waited but his level of patience was running out quickly while hoseok walked around in circles restlessly. it has been more than an hour, or even two, but there wasn't any hyunwoo or nurses pushing the unconscious hyungwon out of the room.

another 30 minutes has passed, changkyun and hoseok wasn't giving up. kihyun had convinced minhyuk to rest for the night as it was getting pretty late while he get some food for them.

not soon after, the doors slide open, revealing hyunwoo in his surgeon suit and mask on, walking towards them. changkyun shook slightly as he asks, "how is he?" hyunwoo calmly took his mask off and placed a hand on changkyun's  shoulder.

"don't worry, the operation was successful."

changkyun and hoseok was so relieved that they could just collapse any moment. they thanked hyunwoo profusely before making their way back into hyungwon's room.

8.00 am

changkyun and hoseok decided they should rest while the others can wait for hyungwon to wake.

hyungwon opened his eyes slowly, the sunlight from the room blinding him as his body was still weak from the anaesthetic, though he was actually feeling much better. "c-changkyun.." was the first thing hyungwon said.

minhyuk swiftly ran to the couch where changkyun and hoseok are sleeping and gave changkyun a huge slap. "changkyun! hyungwon is awake! he's up!" minhyuk shrieked as his smile emits a brighter light than the sun. both hoseok and changkyun jerked awake from minhyuk's ear piercing voice and got off their sleeping positions, running towards the bed. "hyungwon!" changkyun made his way to the boy by sliding his way there, not wanting to waste any more time.

"ow ow ow...quieten down you guys.." hyungwon squinted. he looked at hoseok who was smiling with full relieve like an angel, beautiful and magnificent. except,

he wasn't feeling anything. usually, his heart would feel full just by looking at the boy with butterflies exploding all over his stomach. but, there's nothing now. where's the mushiness? where's the queasy feelings? it's all gone. emptiness. hyungwon stared at hoseok blankly, his eyes that were once filled with love and sweetness was now foreign.

"this calls for a celebration!" jooheon and minhyuk both cheered a little too loud, causing hyungwon to flinch and cover his ear. he then noticed the paper he was clenching ever so tightly in his palms. he had forgotten about it.

"uh, hoseok. this paper...is for you." hyungwon awkwardly spoke and gave him the paper, not wanting to make eye contact. hoseok's confusion was apparent as he unfolded the paper. "oh wait, could you, perhaps, look at it outside?" hyungwon said again, glancing down onto his hands.

hoseok didn't ask much, not wanting to bother hyungwon especially he just awoke. he stepped outside and unfolded the paper, reading the unexpected contents.

one drop, two drop. tears began falling from hoseok's eyes as he couldn't believe what he just read. his heart clenching so tightly that it hurts so bad. he wanted to shout, shout so loud that the hyungwon that left could hear him, to hear that hoseok loves him too.

slowly, petals started to fall from the sorrowful's heart, lungs and mouth.

it's all one-sided.
