two worlds: jaeyong

"maybe."

the unmistakable voice belonged to jaehyun. taeyong eyes widened twice their usual size and doyoung just faces his friend with the same wide eyes.

if taeyong was surprised, doyoung was even more shocked at the revelation. he's known jaehyun as someone who didn't pay any attention to relationships or love. in fact, his whole life was dedicated on his career, and even swore to doyoung that he would stay single as long as he can.

taeyong tries to get up from his crouching position but accidentally hits his hand against the crates, creating a loud sound that resonates throughout the area.

"who's there?"

taeyong and doyoung go out of their hiding place and decide to let themselves be known.

"johnny, jaehyun," doyoung calls out.

"woojae, you there?" jaehyun says out loud.

"jae, where are you?"

"pantry."

"johnny, where are you?" taeyong called to the american soldier.

"storage room. but why are you two here? and how did you get in here? there are two guards outside."

"doyoung used his seniority," taeyong rolled his eyes at the spectacle he had made. "but we have 3 minutes now so we have to go soon."

"why did you come here anyway?" jaehyun asks.

"to check up on you guys," doyoung says. "you two fine?"

"you think solitary confinement is fun, first class sergeant doyoung?" johnny still had the energy to joke even in this situation.

"yes, i forgot how fun it is to be left alone," doyoung rolls his eyes.

"jaehyun, johnny," tayeong breaks his silence. "i'm sorry you guys. if it wasn't for me, you two wouldn't even be in this mess."

jaehyun could hear the guilt feelings in taeyong's voice and his heart did some flips at the sound of it.

"taeyong," the captain starts to talk as he couldn't bear the doctor blaming himself for this. "you did nothing wrong. in fact, you were the one who did the right thing today. you had a patient to save and under your profession, you were obliged to treat him. i take all the blame today. i shouldn't have gone against my superiors in the first place, no matter if it was the right thing to do."

taeyong let out small tears when hearing that and doyoung brings him into a hug.

"5 minutes are up," the tall guard from outside roughly shouted. "you must leave now if you do not want us to use force."

"we're coming!" doyoung shouts back. "tae, lets go."

nodding, the two doctors leave without any words being said. as the door closes, jaehyun just sighs.

"what am i doing?"

the medical team all gathered up in the sleeping space of their portable, all holding a cup of coffee in their hands. after a long time of silence, doyoung breaks the quietness.

"i'm pretty sure you guys are all curious about what happened earlier so ask away."

it's quiet and awkward, until sicheng takes the courage to speak.
