Boy across the street (KSM/HHJ)

Seungmin PoV

I opened my eyes with a sharp pain in my forehead. I was lying on the floor, my phone next to me and my head was pounding. It was hard to keep my eyes open and it was like I could hear the blood in my body and it was the only thing I could hear. My body felt numb and I tried to sit up.

 I had passed out next to the stairs so I leaned against them and tried not to hyperventilate. I had never passed out in my life, this was the first time it had happened and I didn't know what to do. 

And suddenly the tears flowed, I never cried much but in that moment I couldn't help it. I didn't know why I had fainted, there was no one there to help me, I felt so weak and everything was just too much for me.

 My hand reached for my phone so I could look at the clock. It was already late but I hadn't looked at the clock before I passed out so I didn't know how long I had been lying there.

The tears wouldn't stop and I pulled my legs towards me. I was alone and no one would be able to calm me down, I started sobbing and I was sure I looked pretty terrible. Everything felt so surreal and I didn't understand anything. 

I unlocked my cell phone and tapped on Changbins name to call him, I didn't want to disturb Minho as he had to help his father. "Hey, why are you calling so late," said the older one in a calm voice. "I-I Ch-Changbin-" I stuttered to myself until I stopped myself and started sobbing again. 

"Seungmin, what's wrong?"

 "I don't know, I fainted and I am feeling so weak right now."

 "You passed out?! Are you home, should I come there?" He said hastily, concern in his voice. I nodded slightly until I realized that he couldn't see me, so I tried to say through my sobs that he should come, but that if he didn't have time, he didn't have to make time for me. "I'm on my way. I'll hurry up."

 "Y-You don't have to hurry, everything's fine." 

"No Seungmin, nothing's fine, I'll hurry up," and with that he hung up.

I texted him that the door wasn't locked and he could just come in and then closed my eyes again.

The door opened and I could hear Changbin's footsteps. When he saw me still sitting on the floor, he slammed the door turned on the lights and ran to me. "Seungmin, what exactly happened?" He took my hands and helped me up, my eyes were probably red from crying and the dried tears on my cheeks shimmered in the light. 

"I felt sick, I thought I was going to throw up and when I went to the bathroom everything went black and then the next moment I woke up on the floor." I could feel tears forming in my eyes again. 

"I'm scared Changbin, I don't know why this happened," I whispered and could already feel the tears coming again. The older one looked at me with pity in his eyes and stroked my hands with his thumb to calm me down. 

"It's okay, it was probably all too much for you. You can also faint from stress." I nodded and wiped away my tears. "Have some water," he said in a soft voice to calm me down. 

The smaller one gently pulled me into the kitchen and didn't let go of my hand until he gave me a glass of water. "Thank you," I said, sipping the glass and then finishing it.

"Do you want to lie down?" He asked and I nodded but told him that I didn't have the strength to go up to my room so we went to the couch and I lay down there. Changbin threw the blanket over me and sat next to me. He stroked my arm, which didn't bother me, he just wanted to comfort me. 

"Try to sleep okay?" I nodded and closed my eyes, but soon opened them again. "Changbin you and Minho are the best friends I could imagine, I'm glad to have you." 

The person addressed smiled. "We're happy to be your friends too." I nodded and closed my eyes again. "I don't want to go to school tomorrow, let's get Minho here and do something together." 

"Sounds good." 

I knew he was smiling even though I couldn't see it.

 I still felt weak and sick to my stomach, but the presence of one of my friends helped a lot. I was embarrassed that he saw me like that, that he saw me crying, but I wasn't alone, I didn't have to be alone. 

I said quietly: "You can lie down in my bed, you don't have to stay here." He continued to stroke my arm and replied, "I'll wait until you fall asleep."

And soon I fell asleep.
