His Skin // Hyunchan

•°Chapter 41°•

Hana brought Chan upstairs to the bathroom, forcing Hyunjin to come along and help her as she herself couldn't help the injured, hurting boy up alone.

Along the way she kept asking Chan questions to make sure he doesn't pass out and stay with them. She found out about his name, age and that he actually went to the same collage as her son.

Of course, she also asked if they should call an ambulance, but his panicked reaction and repeated "no's" made her change her mind. However she made him promise to allow to call an ambulance if his condition didn't get any better.

Both of them sat Chan down onto the edge of the bathtub. He kept coughing and each time blood would come out.

Hana was shocked herself, not having dealt with severe injuries like that ever before. She tried to stay as calm as possible, speaking with the most soft voice she could make.

"You will have to show me your stomach, okay?"

The boy immediatly turned red at that sentence, coughing again unintentionally and it just made her worry more. He was about to speak up and tell her that it was okay, but Hana was faster than him.

"Alright, if you feel uncomfortable, since you and Hyunjin are friends from collage, I'm sure he can help you out! You guys are friends and the same age and all, right?"

"M-mom! No, I'm not doing this!" Hyunjin's eyes immediatly widened and he right away made it clear that he didn't want to have anything to do with this.

"Hyunjin!" His mother responded "Watch your words! You probably just hurt your friend more than he already is! There's a first aid kit in the drawer, use that and the cloths as well. Let him have a shower if he needs to and give him some of your fresh clothing!"

"Mom! You don't even know him?! We might be in trouble ourselves right now!"

"A-actually–" Chan had to cough once again, his head feeling like it was about to explode. He hadn't seen Hyunjin in months and simply showing up to his house all beaten up made him feell so weak and unimaginably pathetic. Getting to know his mother was something he always wanted to do ever since they had talked about it, but he didn't think it would happen like this "..there.. there isn't anyone behind me anymore.." He spoke lowly, wanting to assure the boy.

"Take the hint, I don't want you here either way Chan!" Hyunjin yelled into his directing, making him scrunch his eyes shut, his arms moving up to his ears and making sure to close them as tightly as possible.

Seeing that reaction, the younger only now realized how bad Chan's condition must've gotten after having to be with his ex boyfriend for such a long time again. He wondered what had happened to Junghwa. Heck he wondered what even was going on in general, hating how no one would ever inform him.

Hana immediatly had grabbed his arm tightly, looking deeply into his eyes, her voice was stern and Hyunjin could even see how she was starting to tear up as she took a deep breath to not freak out "Watch what you're saying young man! I gave you clear instructions and you're going to execute them until I'm back from the pharmacy, understood?!"

The boy looked down to the ground and away from her, nodding sheepishly "yes mom.."

"N-no.. s-stay p-please..!" Chan's heart started racing just at the thought of being left alone with Hyunjin. He was scared just thinking about it, not wanting Hana to go.

"No son it's okay. He's just being rude right now, but he'll take good care of you. I would stay, but I really have to get you a few things alright?"

The boy gulped as a response, but nodded nonetheless. It felt like he was about to cry. His skin burned to utterly much, his stomach felt like it had been torn apart and his head felt so dizzy as if he was drunk or on drugs.
