Double Take

Chapter 22: What are we?

Win is focusing on peeling the apple's skin on the bedside but it doesn't mean he doesn't notice the eyes that is staring at him for quite awhile. Without lifting up his face he speaks,

"At this rate my face will get hole by your staring."

Bright is caught red handed by the older. He tears his gaze away and clears his throat. His mind still at the kiss. After his family gone, Win acts like nothing happen and he is now calmly peeling the fruit in front of him. Should he asks?

"Phi.. your fever is down?" He changes the topic.

"Worry about yourself. How did you hurting yourself like this?" Win asks back while his hand busy with the knife.

"Err.. I just lost in thought for a moment." Bright replies, looking at how skillful the older handling the knife. He never knows that peeling a fruit can be this artistic.

Win shakes his head, "It is dangerous. Next time, if you are in a bad state don't go out racing."

Win actually can guess why Bright in that state. He obviously just learned about his relationship with Kavin. So, Bright probably went to race to cool down his head.

"Eat this." Win hands the slice of apple.

Bright looks at the apple slice and he looks back at his casted arm. He says with a pitiful voice, "Phi.. my hand is injured. How can I eat by myself? Can you feed me?"

Win raises his head. "You only injured your right hand."

When he looks at how Bright acts like a puppy wagging his tail showing his puppy eyes, asking to be fed, his heart suddenly can't take it.

"Fine.." Win feeds the fruit to Bright's mouth. Bright feels joyous inside.

"By the way, you say you can discharge today right? I will send you back. But can you do me a favor?" Win says as he put the fruit inside his mouth.

Bright suddenly got sullen when he heard he will be separated soon with Win. Last night, he was eager to leave this place. Who knows that today he feels so reluctant to leave this place. He thinks living at the hospital with Win, while the older feeding him is not bad at all.

"About what?" He asks.

"Can you tell your friend to lend me his spare clothes and bring it here. I don't want my brother knows about me at the hospital." He feeds another piece into Bright's mouth.

Bright nods his head, while munching he says, "I will tell them."

Instead of asking his friend to bring their clothes for Win, Bright text Mix to go to his house and takes his clothes for Win. How can he let Win wears other's man clothes? Never.

Win is sitting on his bed with his one leg folded while the other one hanging on the air down to the bed. So, he can see clearly the trace of medicine applied by the nurse at Win's wounded feet. His feet does not seriously wounded. But it still give Bright sting at his own heart.

"Bright...?"

Bright cames to his sense and lifts up his head. He looks at Win's hand that hanging on the air with a piece of apple slice waiting to feed him. He holds that hand, takes away the apple slice from him and put it back on the tray.

Win looks back at him questionably. But he can sense the younger suddenly turn to serious mode.

"Phi... What are we?" Bright asks in hesitation after goes silent for a few seconds. His lips suddenly get dry. Scared to know the answer.

Win knows Bright is eager to ask this from earlier but he had restrains himself from asking. But he can't help want to tease the younger.

"What are we? It's obvious you are my brother."
