Area One

Jongin offered to teleport them to the hospital in several groups. It would be much faster, and while seeing a bunch of guys who hadn't entered beforehand coming out of the men's bathroom would look weird, they didn't really care.

The teleporter made a short trip there on his own to make sure there was no one else in the bathroom. Giving a patient a heart attack would not leave a good impression. Then he took Yixing with him. The healer had already spoken to the doctors and even though they were really curious about his power, he'd had to sign hundreds of forms confirming that it would be his own responsibility if something happened to Luhan while he was trying to heal him. He had wanted to wait with doing so until Luhan had woken up, so naturally he would be the first one to go.

Junmyeon was the second person Jongin took with him and as soon as the feeling of dizziness had subsided, he was already out of the door and on his way to the room he had been staring at for hours on end during the past few days.

Yifan, who had called Yixing earlier, was waiting outside the door, barely containing his laugh when he saw Junmyeon running towards him. He thankfully didn't say anything, just stepped aside to let him through.

When he finally entered the room, Yixing was already helping Luhan to sit up.

Junmyeon froze when he saw the state Luhan was in. His injuries had been healed, but his normally already frail stature had grown so thin that he was scared he could break in half anytime.

Luhan had of course heard that someone had entered the room and tilted his head. "Are you going to move anytime soon or do you want me to come and collect you?"

Junmyeon had missed Luhan's sarcasm so much that he nearly forgot to wonder how he had recognized him. "Can you use your powers?"

Luhan sighed. "I don't need to read minds to know that you're the only idiot who would run through a damn hospital just to see me."

"They're not completely gone, but he can't use telekinesis." Yixing answered for him. He grinned. "I'll wait for the others outside to give them an update. You two go ahead and talk."

When Yixing was gone and Junmyeon still didn't move, Luhan sighed. "I'm not going to bite you. Seriously, shouldn't I be the nervous one right now? I used my last words to confess to you. I don't think I've received an answer yet."

He smiled at how blunt Luhan was even about this topic. He walked towards the bed. "You seem quite confident, though."

Luhan snorted. "Yixing's lecture on how I should have confessed much earlier might have given me a few hints." Junmyeon face-palmed inwardly and Luhan gave him a little grin. "I'd prefer an answer from you, though."

Junmyeon, who was now standing right in front of the other guy, didn't hesitate. He had been wishing for this moment for too long to waver now. "I love you."

Luhan's grin dropped. He pulled Junmyeon towards himself with a surprisingly strong grip and kissed him.

Junmyeon was so surprised that he only realized what had happened once it was over. He wanted to say something only to discover that he was completely speechless.

But Luhan seemed bothered by something. He growled: "Have you ever heard of the word 'privacy'?"

"I haven't been trying to patch up his poor, broken heart for so long just to stand outside when you meet again," whined Sehun.

It looked like no one had deemed it necessary to wait outside with Yixing and they had even forced him to come with them instead. The healer sheepishly smiled at him.
