Chapter Eight - Talk

A/N: NOT PROOFREAD

When Heeseung opens his eyes, it takes them a few moments to focus on the white ceiling above him.

"Good morning, sunshine." A voice says beside him. Heeseung jerks in surprise and tries to turn his head, just to realize he can't.

"Oh... right, the brace." Sunghoon says, moving so that his face is within Heeseung's view.

"How long have I been here?" Heeseung asks. His voice is scratchy and weak and sounds more like a smoker's whisper.

"Damn bro, you sound like shit. But to answer your question... only a day." Sunghoon tells him.

"My mom...?"

"She's fine, she's the one that called me, actually."

"My mom called you?" Heeseung chokes on his own words and Sunghoon is quick to give him a sip of water. It hurts to even swallow.

"What kind of psycho are you, to not have a password on your phone?" Sunghoon sighs and shakes his head.

"She saw that I was the last person you messaged, and called me first. She said she was going to call your 'girlfriend' next."

Heeseung's eyes widen in panic but Sunghoon pats his shoulder and shakes his head.

"I told her your 'girlfriend' had left for a family vacation, and wouldn't be available. Luckily she didn't read any of your messages."

Heeseung closes his eyes, silently thanking the universe for being on his side for once.

"Oh... and I'm your best friend now. That's what I told your mom, so that's what we are now." Sunghoon says, holding his hand out to Heeseung. Heeseung smirks and grabs Sunghoon's hand, giving it as firm of a shake as he could muster.

You were my best friend anyway.

"Just don't try to talk for a while, I think the doctors want you to wear that brace for a few days. I can take notes at school and bring them to you so you can do the assignments. For our shared class anyway, I don't know what the fuck you're going to do about your other classes." Sunghoon scoffs.

Heeseung groaned internally. What a hassle.

"I'm back." A soft voice calls as the hospital door opens. Sunghoon turns around and smiles at Ms. Lee.

"Baby, you're awake?" She calls, meeting Heeseung eye. Heeseung suddenly starts to cry as he sees the bruise on his mothers jaw. She rushes over to him and wraps her arms around him. He grips her back to the best of his ability.
