~Chapter 7~

The two boys were walking into room 207 at Busan Hospital. Soobin started getting nervous.
What if she doesn't like me.....What if she's sees me and has a heart attack because he's dating a guy.... what if-
"Hello grandma."
Soobin's thoughts got interrupted when Taehyun walked inside of the hospital room. Soobin did a full bow and stood up straight fixing his posture.
"Oh, who's this?"
Taehyun looked from Soobin back at his grandma.
"This is Soobin.....my boyfriend."
Silence

"Wah~ he's very good looking."
Soobin felt a wave of relief flow over him as he thanked her and bowed again.
"Soobin come here please."
The wave of relief left again as he walked towards the elderly woman, obeying her almost immediately. The woman took Soobin's hand and held it.
"Thank you for seeing the good in him. He's a really good boy, he just doesn't know how to express it. He may get mad sometimes but he'll still love you. So don't go thinking he doesn't. Okay?"
"Okay!"

About ten minutes later Taehyun's grandma started telling stories about him when he was a baby.
"Very. Taehyun was a chubby baby. Taehyun didn't look like his parents at all either. He'd always go up to them and say "Eomma, am I adopted?" He was serious too."
Soobin laughed while Taehyun groaned.
"Grandma!"
Taehyun was embarrassed but his eyes softened when he saw a smiling bunny.
And the hours passed before his grandma made an announcement.
"Taehyun-ah. They said today was my last day....I'm sorry.."
Taehyun's eyes grew sadder as he nodded and held his grandmothers hand.
"I know...it's okay don't be sorry."

The silence filled the room until suddenly the machine went flat and his grandmother's eyes closed.
Soobin immediately stood up and felt his heart start to hurt.

"Grandma......I'm sorry....."
Soobin saw a tear roll down Taehyun's cheek and he immediately wiped the tear with his sleeve and hugged him. The olders heart clenched as he heard the younger whimper quietly. Soobin thought about the conversation he had with her earlier.

45 Minutes ago

"Taehyun go and get us food from the cafeteria please."
Taehyun followed his grandmas order and left the room shutting the door behind him.

"Soobin do you want to know something?"
Soobin nodded his head as he put his book down.
"I've never seen him look at somebody the way he looks at you. He must really like you."
Soobin smiled visibly but soon stopped.

"When Taehyun is sad he tends to pretends he's fine. When I pass away please protect him. For me? Please?"

"With my life."
The woman smiled at Soobin and teared up.
"I'm sorry I won't be around to help take care of that little boy."
Soobin chuckled and assured her that it was okay.

Back to present

Soobin broke the hug and looked Taehyun in the eyes.
"She's in a better place now. Now she doesn't need to suffer."
Taehyun's eyes softened as he wiped his tears and stood up straight.

"It's okay I saw it coming...I'll be fine."

"No, its not fine...you know what....I'm not letting you go home alone."
"What?"

"I'm coming home with you. I'm not letting you be alone when your grandma just passed away."
"But-"

"Nope."

Taehyun unlocked the door to his house and he walked in. Of course with a blue haired boy following him.

"Wow your house is so big.."
"Yup I have this whole place to myself."

"WHAT?!"
Taehyun flinched as he looked at a shocked smurf.

"This place is way too big for one person!"
"Not really.."
Soobin walked around and saw a family photo.

"She was right..you look nothing like your parents.....where are they by the way?"
Taehyun's face became dark and he looked down.

"My mom Uhm....she died while she was giving birth to me.....my dad left me when I was fifteen.....and uh well, the rest of my family were either killed by loan sharks or the train crash in 2004."

Soobin slowly walked over to him and hugged him softly.
"You've been through a lot Tae....sorry.."
Taehyun, after a bit of time, hugged him back and sighed.

In the middle of the night Taehyun heard a noise and sat up.

"What was that?"

He walked over to the guest bedroom where Soobin was sleeping and saw him curled up in a ball quietly crying and shivering. Taehyun's heart clenched as he walked over to him and turned on the light.

"Yah, what's wrong?"
Taehyun sat on the bed as Soobin slowly looked up at him with puffy eyes.

"I just had a bad dream that's all.........I'm okay...."
Taehyun sighed and slowly pulled Soobin in a hug, waiting for him tell about the dream.
