Chapter 4: I feel Drawn To You

As the two of you climb into Hobi's car, your mind begins to scan the contents of your medicine cabinet and you remember, you hadn't replaced the fever medications you had for Chanyeol the last time he was sick.
"Shit...." you say rather abruptly and then feel your cheeks grow incredibly hot with embrassment. "Sorry...I didnt mean to curse..."
"Dont even worry about it. Its totally fine." he says. "But whats wrong?"
"I forgot I don't have the medications I need for Chanyeol. I don't have time to stop, the nurse said he was crying for me."
"I can drop you off there to get him if you can get a cab ride home, I can grab some and meet you back at your apartment. If you will just give me your address." he suggests.
"You don't have to do that Hobi, honestly, its okay."
"Its honestly no problem at all. Don't drag him to the store sick, he should be getting plenty of rest."
You think for a moment, it would be extremely helpful and Hobi was right, Chanyeol shouldn't be dragged to the store while he's sick.
"I really appreciate the kind offer Hobi, thank you so much."
He turns to you to give you a quick smile and a nod.

Once you two got closer to the school, you called for a cab and the company said they would have one there within 5 minutes of your arrival.
"Okay, I will drop you here, and then quickly get the medicine for you. Any specfic kind that is needed?"
"No just make sure its a pain/fever reducer please."
"I can do that, okay go quickly and get him home." he says ushering you towards the door.
You nod quickly and rush towards the door, and down the hall to the nurses office.
You open the door quickly and as soon you step inside the office, you greeted by a weary Chanyeol attempting to leap into your arms.
"Eomma, I am not feeling well." he says pushing his face into your chest once you bend down to his level.
"I know sweet boy, lets get your things and go home quickly." you say picking him and craddling him.
The nurse walks over to you and hands you his glasses case and his book bag. "He took his glasses off shortly after getting here, he said they were hurting his head."
"Okay thank you so much."
"Dont worry about dropping by the office, I have taken care of the neccessary paperwork for you. Just get him home to rest." she smiles at you.
You nod and bow respectfully and then head outside to where the cab was already waiting.

Once the cab arrived home, you quickly got Chanyeol inside and into his room to get him settled to rest.
"Channie, I need to tell you something." you say as you pull his blanket up to his chin and smooth it out and tuck it up underneath him.
"Yes ma'am..." he says trying to give you, his full attention.
"Eomma met with Daddy today...." you say after taking in a deep breath.
"Really!" he says excitedly.
You nod and smile down to him, pushing his bangs from his eyes.
"Does he remember?" he asks sitting up a little bit in his bed.
You felt a sadness grip your heart as you search your mind for what to say. "No. He still doesn't remember. But I am going to do my best to try and get him to remember us. In a few minutes, he will be bringing your medications by so you can feel better. I know it will be hard, and I know you dont quite understand just yet, but dont call him Appa just yet."
"Why not?" he asks in confusion. "Wouldn't that help him remmeber?"
"Its complicated....I am sorry I cant explain it better to you. His accident has caused him to forget many things. Calling him Appa, might not earn us the reaction we would hope for. And I dont want you getting hurt in the end. I am sorry, I know this is a lot. I did not intend for the two of you to meet his soon on, but it seems life has a different path we should follow...."
"Okay Eomma. But what do I call him then?"
"He will most likely introduce himself as Jung Hoseok. You can call him Hoseok if you'd like. Or you've heard me and Uncle Joon say Hobi, if he says thats okay, you can call him Hobi. It won't be forever, just for right now. Okay?"
"Jung..." he says quietly as his he trails off for a moment. "Thats our name too!" he says excitedly.
"Yes of course, eomma and appa are married, silly." you say poking his nose playfully.
"Okay, I  won't call him appa for now. I understand."
You hug him tightly, a few tears escaping your eyes as you do so.
Just then there is a knock at the door and Chanyeol looks up excitedly. "He's here!" he says in a whisper.
"Yes, I will go let him in. You stay here. I will come to get you once he's inside, ok?"
"Okay." he nods with a smile.

As you leave his room, you take in a deep breath and walk down the hall, through the kitchen, and into the living room to the front door. It felt like an eternity getting to the front door, and as you did, you held out a shaky hand to the door knob and opened the door to see Hobi standing there with a few bags in hand.
"Hello again." he greets you with a warm smile.
"Hello." you say with a nervous voice and stand aside to let him in.
"I uh, got a few more things that the pharmacist recommened for fevers. These little ice pop things, and some drink thats good for them to have when they are dehydrated from the fever. I hope thats okay..." he says, hoping he didn't over step anything.
"Thank you so much Hobi, I appreciate this so much." you say taking the bags from him. "Let me just give him the medicine and then I can pay you back." you say sitting the bags on the counter and fishing for the fever medicine.
He walks over and puts his hand on yours and you felt your stomach flutter as you look up at him. "There's no need to pay me back, I really don't mind helping. Seriously." he says with a smile.
"Are you sure? I really dont mind paying you back." you say taking the medcine from the bag and opening the box.
"I am most sure. I dont mind at all."
"Well let me just take this to him. If you need to go or anything..."
"Oh, I..." he starts but stops for a moment. "I was wanting to stay for awhile, if its okay? I have nothing else to do today, and..."
"You really want to stay?" you say a little shocked.
"I mean if you want me to go, I can always come another time..." he laughs nervously. "Sorry I didnt mean to laugh its a nervous habit..." he says rubbing the back of his head.
You smile at this, Yep same old Hobi. He was still in there, even though his memories were gone.
"I dont mind." you say as pour the liquid medicine into the small cup provided. "I will just take this to him and I will be right out."
Hobi shifts around you for a second and grabs a popsicle from the box and smiles. "Could I maybe bring him one of these?"
You nod and motion for him to follow you.
"Chanyeol, I am here with your medicine. And remember I was telling you my friend was bringing it for you, he is here too. He has a treat for you. But you must take this first, ok?" you say sitting down on the bed side.
Chanyeol leans up and nods in agreement and looks over to Hobi who waves at him with a smile.
You could tell now that Chanyeol grew a little nervous but you rub his back comfortingly and nod to him. "Its okay.." you say holding up the medicine cup to him. He then takes the cup and takes the medicine and hands the cup back to you.
"Okay Hobi, he can have the treat now." you say looking up to him.
"Here you go...its cherry flavored. It will help you feel better." he says sitting down next to you on the bed and opening the popsicle and handing it over to him.
"Thank you! Cherry is my favorite!" Chanyeol says excitedly and begins to eat the popsicle.
"Its my favorite too." he winks at him. "By the way, I am Jung Hoseok. Its nice to meet you." Hobi says fluffing Chanyeol's hair playfully.
Chanyeol giggles and looks over to him. "I am Chanyeol. Its nice to meet you Jung Hoseok."
"You can call me Hobi too if you want. I dont mind."
"Is it ok?" he looks over to you for reassurance. You nod and smile and place your hand gently on his.
"Thank you for the popsicle, Hobi." he says doing a slight bow motion to him.
"No problem at all, you feel better soon. And if you are good for eomma, you can have the rest I brought later, ok?"
Chanyeol nods as he finishes the popsicle and hands his mother the paper it was in.
"I would like to lay down now, eomma." he says as he lays back down on his pillow.
"Okay. I will come check on you in a while. Sleep well." you say leaning down and kissing his forehead.
He soon drifted off to sleep and you and Hobi left the room quietly and went to the living room.
"You really don't have to stay." you say, suddnely feeling very nervous to be standing so close to him. It was hard to keep your emotions contained.
"Do you want me to go?" Hobi says quietly.
"I..." you start as you look anywhere in the room but to his eyes. Of course you didn't want him to go. More than anything you wanted him to stay. But you knew that to him, this was just the first meeting, and you didn't want to push too far, or make him feel any sort of uncomfortable with the situtaion.
"You are a really good mother to him." he says moving closer to you. "He is very well taken care of."
You smile at him, and feel your heart race like it was a stampeede of wild mustangs in a feild. Then he did something you didn't expect him to do, he took your hand and laced his fingers within yours and touched your cheek lovingly.
"I cant explain this feeling I am feeling, but I feel very drawn to you. And..." he says pulling you to him. "I dont want to go just yet." he says leaning down and kissing you gently on the lips.
