five feet apart au cause why not 😨
"Please, Wonwoo needs it most. Give him the lungs." Mingyu pleaded to the nurses, out of breath, worried about the older beside him who had trouble breathing.
"N-no Mingyu..You're th-e one..t-that needs it" Wonwoo successfully stuttered out, despite him having trouble.
"No! You're the one who wants it, you're the one who wants to live! You have been waiting for these lungs Wonwoo, so please.. just please take it."
Mingyu took off his oxygen mask, only to be put back on by the nurse.
Wonwoo thought about it for a minute, staring at Mingyu before giving up. "I- o-kay..I'll take the lungs." Wonwoo said, teary-eyed as he looked at Mingyu who was smiling at him and offering his hand so Wonwoo won't feel nervous.
They took Wonwoo to the operating room, while Mingyu was still where he was, his mother beside him.
Timeskip
"Mom..?" Mingyu whispered to his mom, who was sleeping at the couch beside his bed. "Yes, honey?" his mom said, waking up from her nap. "Can you... please do me a favor?"
"So, are you guys fine with it?" Mingyu said, after saying what he wanted to do later. His friends, mom and the nurses exchanged some looks, then agreeing to it.
"Heck yeah", his friend, Seungcheol said.
"Okay, so here's how we're going to do this," Mingyu explained everything to all of them, then his friends began setting it up right after.
After Wonwoo's surgery
Wonwoo woke up, feeling drowsy. He eyes were barely opened, still not used to the light since he woke up after almost 8 hours.
"He's waking up!" Soonyoung
said to Mingyu, whisper-yelling. Mingyu quickly ran outside, so he can prepare to turn on the lights Wonwoo always wanted to see.
"Hi honey... are you feeling okay?" Wonwoo's mom asked, caressing his hair. Wonwoo could only weakly nod his head as a response.
His mom brought out an ipad that Mingyu could speak into, plugged with earphones and let Wonwoo wear it. This was so Mingyu could let Wonwoo hear the words he wanted to say to him even with a barrier preventing them from hearing each other.
Wonwoo, slowly turned his head to his right as Mingyu, who was outside hiding, plugged the lights. Wonwoo's eyes opened wide. The lights outside reflecting his eyes, shining. That made him happy. Years after he was trapped in that hell of a hospital, he finally saw the lights he wanted to see. It was so beautiful.
He saw Mingyu walking to the glass that was seperating both of them, looking happy to see Wonwoo but at the same time, sad because of another reason.
"Hey, Wonu.. Finally got you speechless huh?" Mingyu said, while Wonwoo was just there silent, looking at Mingyu.
"They say 'if you love someone,you have to let them go', I thought that was just bullshit."
"Not until I saw you suffering.... all I wanted was to be with you." Mingyu said, putting his hands on the cold glass, Wonwoo slowly doing the same.
"It's hard to let you go, Wonu. But I love you, and I would do anything so you could live the life you want, the way you wanted it to be. You wanted to live, so I'll let you, without me." Mingyu said with a pained smile. He wanted to break into tears because of the sight of Wonwoo crying, but he didn't. He had to be brave.
"I'm sorry, Wonu. Please, cherish your life while I can't, okay?" Mingyu said, while slowly backing up. Wonwoo was crying violently, his sobs were loud.
"This is it, I love you so much,Wonwoo." Wonwoo shook his head, still crying, this time alot more. Mingyu walked away, as if he never wanted to go. But he did, not wanting to see Wonwoo cry because of him.
He cherished every single one of their memories. When they first met, to when they fell in love. But they didn't have much time to love each other. It was hard, but it wasn't impossible. They didn't get to touch each other, that's when it hurts. But do you know what hurts more?
Loving.
Loving hurts.
But everyone needs love,
even if you have to sacrifice yourself for it.
So please,
Love, touch, and cherish that person.
Do that while I can't. While I couldn't.
We were always five feet apart.
