A/N: Sorry it have been so long... apparently life is a big showstopper -.-' And exames are something not so fun.... but I hope you are still with me <3
While Zee was deep in thoughts, Max mumbled "Time is running out..." Zee shifted his gaze to Max and Max's expression seemed to hold more than pain.
________________________________________________________________________
"What is this?" Zee asked, though he had an idea. But it all seemed unreal, almost like something that only happened in a fairytale. As Zee stood with the flower, Max decided he was needed somewhere else and left Zee. Max thought Zee needed to realize it himself, not being told, so Max left and let Zee wonder by himself. Zee stood alone in the hallway, Kayla had taken a call from her boyfriend and the rest of the Domundi members had left. As the red flower still was in his hand, Zee wondered if they really could have told him the truth. Now that he thought back, Max had gotten mad at him, but Zee had been to occupied with catching up with Kayla and courting her, but it had been clear from the start that Kayla didn't want such a relationship with him, still he had tried. Zee couldn't help but feel guilty. Now that he really thought about it, it did seem he had neglected his Nong and maybe he had been a hypocrite too because he didn't want Nunew to distance himself, but Zee himself had done exactly that to Nunew.
As James carried Nunew through the hospital and out to their car, Nat and Max had caught up to him. Nunew had finally fallen asleep and the rest was waiting for them. They wanted to drive to P'aof 's house, but Nunew had said he wanted to get home before he fell asleep.
Back at the hospital, Zee was confused. Kayla had said her boyfriend would arrive soon so Zee didn't need to stay and Zee didn't know where to go. Maybe P'aof's place, maybe he needed to talk to Nunew, though that he wasn't ready to yet. Zee decided to drive home and on the way home, the flower laid beside him all the way. When Zee got home, he took the flower and placed it in a glass of water on his table. Then he sat on the chair and stared. Maybe if he stared long enough, it would give him his answer. It felt like he missed something. There was something he didn't see or didn't account for.
Nunew, James, Nat and Max finally got home and Nunew had woken on the way. The first thing he asked was "How's Hia?" Nat couldn't believe his eats, how could Nunew not care about himself? Maybe it had taken a toll on them all, because Nat snapped. "THAT IS THE FIRST YOU ASK!?" Nunew was surprised and looked stunned at Nat. "Well...." Nunew didn't know what to say. Nat had never really gotten angry with him before, but since he stubbornly decided his life was worth giving up for his love, Nat had changed too. Nunew sighed, "Sorry, I'm just worried about him, but you have been there since day one! So, Jelly~, Love you na~~" Nunew tried to be cute and he knew Nat couldn't really be mad at him, so when Nat tried (and failed) to stay angry, Nunew smiled and pulled the other into a hug. When Nat hugged him back, Nunew relaxed into the hold and slowly sleep seemed to claim his consciousness. Before completely giving in, Nunew though to himself; Maybe it was time to just come clean and at least feel that relief.
In Zee's apartment, Zee still sat in his kitchen, starring at the flower. It was beautiful like it's creator and yet Zee couldn't help but feel it meant something else. As pictures of Nunew doubled over from a cough flooded his mind, Zee had this urge to go see the younger, but with the memory from the hospital, came the stern look James had sent him and Max's word. "Time is running out..." Zee didn't quite understand, what time, what was he missing and how was it related to Nunew, because it definitely was related. As Zee felt a heavy feeling settle over him the longer he looked at the flower, he took his phone up from his pocket. Maybe he could get his mind on other things if he scrolled through instagram (IG). The first image that came up when he opened the app was a picture from Nat. Nat had captured a figure against a sunset. The red and orange colors made the figure dark and you couldn't tell who it was, but Zee knew. He knew that body anywhere and although he wanted to forget for a short period of time, Nunew was never far from his mind. Zee sighed, he remembered that the other members had at some point tried to show him something. Maybe it was the day Nong Nat had cried. It all seemed unbelievable and yet... what was it again... the thing Nong Nat had searched. Something about a fictional disease? Hana.... Hanashi? No What was it again... Zee gripped his hair frustrated. Maybe he should just talk to Nunew. He hadn't talked to him in a while and the younger had started to distance himself. Zee wasn't that oblivious. Maybe tomorrow... Today had been to weird and he didn't even know what he would ask. It sounded stupid if he just came out saying; "Hey I heard you were sick, what disease do you have? " So Zee decided to take a bath and go to sleep early. Tomorrow he needed to talk with Nunew.
