ＮＥＶＥＲ ＡＧＡＩＮ

32

minho walked out of the room, trying not to sob as he went inside a bathroom.

when the door closed, he finally let his emotions get the better of him, and he started sobbing on the floor. he hugged his knees as he continued sobbing.

his life was so perfect.
and it only lasted a week before it all went crashing down, like someone just snapped their fingers.

why?
why was this happening?
just...why?

he continued sobbing in the bathroom, until he just...couldn't.
the tears just weren't coming from his eyes anymore.

he sighed and got up, splashing his face with a cold water and looked inside the mirror to make sure he didn't look like a mess.

after that, he started walking back to hans room.
when he arrived, he noticed that han fell asleep.
his cheeks were puffy and wet. it was obvious that he has been crying.

minho sighed.

why was the universe so hard on us?

he sat on the chair next to his bed, and just kept staring at the boy, who was sleeping peacefully.

why was the universe so hard on you?

he noticed a tear falling from the youngers eye.
he bend over a little and he wiped it off with his thumb. he sighed, as he caressed the youngers cheek. he was just too precious.

after a while, he decided that it was the best time to leave. han should be resting, and even if he woke up, Minho wasn't sure how would their conversation go, so he just decided to come back tomorrow, or later this day.

he got up and gave han a kiss on the forehead.
he took a last look at him and sighed before leaving.

han woke up few hours later.
it was already dark.

but what kinda hurt him was the fact that minho wasn't there with him when he woke up.

he sighed, I mean, he couldn't blame him.
he kind of said that he wasn't in love with him.
well, not really, but it definitely seemed like it to Minho.

he stood up, supporting himself and sat on the wheelchair next to his bed. his body was still really exhausted, and even walking was hard for him, so he moved around in a wheelchair.

he started slowly pushing the wheels and got to a bathroom. after he was done, he went back, and just as he was about to move to the bed, someone walked inside his room.

minho?

hans eyes widened.
I mean, he didn't expect him to come back.

"do you need help?" minho asked

han shook his head yes and minho went closer to him.
he slowly picked han up bridal style and carefully laid him on the bed, tugging him in.

han was just staring at minho.

why is he here?
I broke his heart.

suddenly, minho turned around and placed a plastic back with something inside it on hans lap gently.

han looked at him confused.

"it's a cheesecake. I promised you that I will buy it for you if you woke up today, which you did. so, here's your cheesecake."
minho said.

han started sobbing.
he broke Minhos heart, yet he was here, fulfilling his promise to han that han didn't even know about.

minho sighed and sat on the bed, pulling han into his embrace carefully, so that he wouldn't hurt him.

han continued sobbing into minhos neck, while Minho caressed his back and hummed him his favorite song.

it just became minhos reflex, whenever han started crying.

"aish, why are you crying han?" minho asked gently.

han just stared sobbing more.
"I-I'm so s-sorry~" he managed to say trough his sobs.

minho sighed.
"what for? it's not your fault."

han continued sobbing, until he quiet down and fell asleep in minhos arms.

minho sighed and caressed hans cheek, before he carefully laid him down and tugged him in again.

he gave the younger a kiss on the cheek, before leaving the room.

it's been a week since han woke up.
he certainly looked better, but he definitely felt worse.

felix and hyunjin visited him a few times, talking about their wedding and seungmin and jeongin came too, announcing that they got together after the night of the party. they also apologized for ignoring han, which they didn't exactly do on purpose. han found out that seungmin actually took his advice and talked with jeongin. they agreed that it didn't feel like a mistake, and decided to try and work things out. they went on a vacation to different city for a week, where they got officially together. they returned and found out that han was in the hospital, so they immediately went there and spend the whole day with him.
han was so happy for them, I mean, somehow, they were perfect for each other.

but at the same time, he felt kind of...jealous?

hyunjin and felix were about to get married and jeongin and seungmin started dating, they even moved together and looked as happy as ever.

only he and minho weren't exactly....okay.

he sighed as he took his phone and scrolled trough Instagram, when someone came inside hans room.

minho.

minho came to the hospital every day after his training. they didn't talk much, but his presence definitely helped somehow. there were days where he just sat in the chair for few hours and then leave without any words.

minho went closer to the bed and gently put a plastic back on hans lap.
this one didn't have cheesecake tho.
it was heavier.
there were mangas.

"I thought you would be bored here. they posted like three new volumes of your favorite one, I couldn't leave that there."
minho said, not really looking at han.

hans eyes lit up when he saw the new mangas.
he looked at minho.
he wasn't looking back.

"thank you." han said, kind of trying to hide the excitement, but failed miserably.

minho smiled a little, but he didn't look at han.

he just hummed and went to sit on the chair as always.

that will probably never change.
