you ran me over!?! // jakehoon ff

nineteen - bruised

"Finally you're here." Sunghoon moved with a slight groan, slowly getting up. "Let's go." He started walking, well it was more like waddling, towards the entrance of the apartment building.

There was a slight limp in his step and Jake saw how his face lightly contorted when he put weight on his right leg.

Jake looked at him confused. "Are you okay?"

Sunghoon just nodded. "Ya I'm- ah fuck." His hands flew to his side as he tried to turn to Jake to talk.

"What's wrong?"

Sunghoons face scrunched in what looked like pain, eventually letting out a breath and releasing his side. "I had a fall at practice today so I think a bruise is forming. It's fine though, it's probably small." He gave Jake a fleeting smile, slowly turning back to walk again.

Jake didn't believe him at all. He knew he wasn't going to get Sunghoon to admit anything was wrong so he resorted to simply poking him in his side, hard.

The noise Sunghoon made was loud, Jake was glad there weren't many people in the lobby.

Sunghoon was now slightly hunched over, clutching his hip. He raised his head to glare at Jake. "Jake what the fuck!" Before he could respond, Sunghoon's head fell back down, eyes squeezed shut.

He usually would've found joy in Sunghoons agony, but this seemed bad, like really bad.

After spending time with Sunghoon, Jake quickly realized that he doesn't like getting help. He tends to keep his problems to himself, not expressing any troubles he's having. Now, Jake is not asking him to spill all his life secrets, he just wonders why Sunghoon always tries to not show weakness.

So, seeing Sunghoon unable to hide his pain like this tells him enough. "Let's go back upstairs."

"What, why? I'm fine."

"No you're not." Jake gave his face a scan. "You look like you're about to cry."

Sunghoon gasped in offense, standing up ready to reprehend Jake. That action was quickly regretted as another wave of pain went through his side.

Jake shook his head. "Told you." He reached for Sunghoons arm, placing it over his shoulder to help him walk instead of limp.

Sunghoon had tried to protest but Jake gave him a look and he shut up.
