"he entered through the back, where he saw the most terrifying thing that any child would not like to see.

his mother was on the floor, dead, and the doctors, about six of them running around to fetch equipment to kickstart her pulse. a pool of blood was below her, painting her in red.

he was speechless, he couldn't believe what he had just seen, and heard as well:

"we can't treat her any longer, her body won't restart"

"such a shame, she was such a kind soul, you can see how much she loved her husband as well"

"a nice couple gone, even within one month of each other"

gone...

gone.

the latter screamed as his father beat him for not collecting the right brand of cigarrettes. 

"t-there we-re no m-more left!" the young boy spluttered out, but his abuser of a parent was not having any of the 'bullshit'. his rage went through the roof as he threw a previous bottle of vodka at his betrothed's head, knocking the weak woman completely out in an instant. yes, the two weren't married yet and had a child, which meant taehyun was a child of a rapist. taehyun's alleged grandparents had forced the pair to marry as it would have been frowned on if the two didn't have any sort of relation towards each other.

"eomma!" the little boy screamed in disbelief as he sprinted worriedly towards the woman and tried waking the unconscious up by furiously shaking her.

"she won't be waking up in a while, and so will you," his father decided as a hurling object was lunged at his head.

taehyun screamed, sweat taking the form of liquidized beads strolling down his face in a hurry as host of doctors and nurses invited themselves into the room, the barrier between the room and the rest of the hospital burst open. he felt like he was trapped in a room filled with his worst nightmares. a doctor, who looked like the head approached the boy, but the latter responded negatively by hitting the older, almost toppling him over with the sudden force. he hid under the covers, plugging his ears to block any unwanted sound. he felt so small here and he didn't like it.

the medical team tried to persuade the latter into coming out of his new found shell, but he refused; he liked it better in this hot, stuffy cavern. maybe, just maybe, he could strangle himself with the bedsheets-

"you can all go now, i will deal with him now," a new voice said, some voice that taehyun would recognise anywhere. thr figure walked into the room, black hair now grown into a mullet and beautiful facial features gracing his beautiful facial structure.

"taehyun-ah."

"b-beomgyu..."

the latter stroked the younger's hair in deep thought while the other was a peaceful slumber. they had stayed in silence a little after taehyun's mini mania episode, the younger still in shock. the black-haired, however was bent on the idea that he had met the blonde before, he didn't know how the latter slipped his mind. however, he felt worried to do so. he felt this dominating aura from the boy which made him feel flustered. and he quite enjoyed it.

the younger rustled in his sleep, unconsciously swatting beomgyu's hand out of his hair. his slender fingers gripped the bedsheets as the black-haired heard his breathing rate speed up abnormally. he realized that the blonde was having a panic attack, maybe in the dream, which caused him to feel that way.

the black-haired haired massaged the latter's head and whispered reassuring words in his ears, telling him that it would all be okay, that he would be happy at the end of the day. the blonde visibly relaxed at the older's words as he wore a wide smile on his face.

he was the one who everyone took care of and who everyone looked out for. he felt accomplished by taking care of the other, especially since he had a big, enormous crush on the other. again. but, of course, he wasn't aware. it was like loving from a distance. wanting to hold, cherish, love the person, but they're too far out of your reach. it makes you feel like giving up on them, but when the slightest thought of them enters your mind, you feel a warm feeling, a comforting feeling spread like an infectious disease through you. that's how happy they make you, even if you and them weren't meant to be.

the latter woke up the second time and frowned upon seeing that he woke up in the same goddamned room in the goddamned place that he wouldn't want to be in. the hospital. even thinking about the public building felt as if he was feeding himself poison to intoxicate his mind.

the blonde's spiral of thoughts were disturbed as he looked towards the door to hear a little, timid knock on the frame before beomgyu entered, his bulb of hair bobbing up and down as he took steps towards taehyun's bed.

the older smiled at him warmly before placing his food on the bedside table. the meal consisted of different varieties of seafood, including sashimi which taehyun liked and a salted caramel latte on the side.

---

(a little insight to how i think taehyun's drink preference matches his personality)

"the caramel shows his fondness for sweet beverages and the salt flavor adds a sophisticated taste, just like his maturity at a young age. therefore, salted caramel latte fits taehyun perfectly." - author-nim

the blonde haired was a little taken aback at how the latter knew his favourite food and drink, no one knew apart from huening kai.

"i made you some seafood and got you a latte from the store nearby, you don't look like a tea person," beomgyu giggled which made taehyun coo internally.
"thanks," he replied. the latter was about to pick up the chopsticks for his food, when the other took them from the tray and picked up a piece of the food, holding it closer towards the latter's mouth. taehyun raised an eyebrow and opened his mouth to retaliate when beomgyu stuffed the seafood into his mouth, forcing him to chew it.

"i heard from your friend huening kai that you skip meals quite often, and that's not good, especially since you have landed in hospital," the black-haired said, putting another piece of food in his mouth.

taehyun let out a goofy smile, he hadn't smiled in a long time. he knew only one person could do that, make his heart race and make his day a lot brighter.

and that was his soulmate.
