Where have you been?

I've been laying in this bed for days it feels like. I need to get up and do something, see someone other than a nurse or doctor.

As my feet touch the ground it makes my legs feel like jello. I try to get up but I can't.

"Mr Zhang!" I hear a nurse say after I fall on the ground. "Mr Zhang are you alright? You could get hurt."

"I'm fine thank you. I just need to get out of this room and see people. I'm sorry I didn't mean to cause any harm."

"Oh Mr Zhang no need to apologize, you did nothing wrong hon." The older woman told me. "But if you wanted to get out of your bed why didn't you just ask?"

Ask?

*flashback*
"Ugh Hao! Stop asking things! No one likes people asking questions! Now leave me alone!"
*End of flashback*

"Mr Zhang? Are you alright?"

"Huh? Yeah, sorry it's just um..." Shit what am I doing? Nobody is going to believe me if I tell the truth. "Never mind, thank you for helping me."

"That's what I'm here for Mr. Zhang." She smiles at me. "I'm your nurse." She pats me on the shoulder. "Now speaking of which, Hao are you alright? Do you want to talk to a specialist?"

A specialist? "I'm fine."

"Are you sure?"

I nod in reply. "Positive."

"Ok, but if you ever want to talk to a therapist about anything just let me or your doctor ok?"

"Mm ok, thank you."

"Hey Dr Choi um Zhang Hao has a visitor." I hear the guy I met earlier say. Gunwook I think his name is.

"Zhang Hao? Are you up for a visit from someone?" My nurse asks me.

"Sure." Whose going to visit me? Oh god unless it's- "Is their name Woobin?"

My nurse shrugs then looks at Gunwook. "No, it's not...that person." Gunwook answers me.

"Ok then. I'll meet them."

I'm alone now sitting in my hospital room waiting for this someone to show up. I wonder who it- is....

"Hao?" A male's figure rushed into the room causing me to flinch for a second from being jump scared. The male hugs me tightly. Usually hugs or physical touch triggers me but for some reason this hug didn't. It feels familiar.

Oh my god.

"Han...bin?"

The male looks up at me in tears. "Hao it's me Hanbin. Where have you've been?! I've been worried sick for these past five years! I thought you died!"

"I.." they won't believe you Hao. Nobody will believe you if you told the truth. There's consequences if you tell anyone. "I um.."

"Hao? Are you alright? What's wrong?"

"Hanbin..it's great seeing you and all but I think I need some rest right now."

"Hao. Im not leaving you. I can't have you disappear on me again."

"Please Hanbin, I just want to rest."

"Fine." Hanbin got up and left the room; closing the door behind him.

I just need sleep. That's what I need.

"Good afternoon Mr Zhang Hao, dinner is served." Gunwook walked into my room.

As I sat up I saw Hanbin asleep on the chair beside me. "I thought he left?"

"Left? No, he's been here the whole day." Gunwook tells me.

The whole day? He really does care.

"Gunwook?" Hanbin slowly started to sit up. "Is everything ok?" He asks.
Gunwook nods. "Everything is fine Hyung I was just dropping Hao's dinner off."

Hanbin looks over at me and smiles, then he looks back at Gunwook. "That's good."

"I'll uh leave you two alone." Gunwook tells us before leaving the hospital room.

"I heard them talking earlier, they said you could go home tomorrow." Hanbin tells me.
Home? What home? I can't go back to that god awful house! What if he comes back and kills me?! "I um thought you probably wouldn't want to go back to where you lived all these years and was wondering if you wanted to stay at my place?"

"Really? I wouldn't be too much of a bother? You and your girlfriend probably wouldn't want me around, Hanbin. But thank-"

"No! Please, you wouldn't be a bother to me. And...I'm not seeing...anyone...well I was...but I found out I like someone um-never mind..my point is you wouldn't be a bother to me, Hyung."

Hyung. I haven't heard that in years.

"I won't force you to give your answer-"

"I would love to stay with you!"

Hanbin looked surprise at my sudden answer. But that soon turned into a bright smile. "Great. I'm glad."

Hanbin hung around for a while. We just talked and talked about everything I missed.
Which was a lot. No duh.

"What are the other's doing now that they are older?" I asked.

Hanbin went silent. "Oh..um.." he began to say. "Well, Taerae is a well know singer, Yujinnie is in his first year of University, Matthew is engaged to Jiwoong Hyung, you remember Jiwoong right?"
I nod my head. "Yeah, they recently got engaged. Jiwoong actually works here with Gunwookie.  Gyuvin is around doing his thing in University, and-" he paused. The only name he hasn't mentioned yet is Ricky's. "Ricky..is a model for top brands." So he continued his modelling? He must of passed that test...huh?

"What about you?" I ask Hanbin.

"I um." He began. "I'm still a dancer. A pro now actually." 

"That's amazing Bin. Congrats!"

"Thanks, Hyung." He smiled. "I um...was out- you now what um I think you should get some sleep Hyung, it's late and visiting hours are about to end. I'll uh see you tomorrow." He quickly got up.

"Oh..ok goodnight Hanbin, see you tomorrow."

"Goodnight Hao Hyung."

He left the room leaving me there alone confused.
