[12: HEARTBREAK : TRUTH]

Sunghoon stared at Yunjin and squeezed his chest. "It's good, right?" Yunjin repeated. Sunghoon felt tears sting his eyes, threatening to escape. He took the snacks out of her hands and locked her out.

"Sunghoon..." Jake started. "She's not coming back." Sunghoon said in a strained voice, sitting on the bed. Jake sighed. "For some reason that hurt my heart more than the knife did." Sunghoon chocked.

"She'll come back." Jake said softly. "Cheonsa is a woman of her word." Sunghoon said, "seeing her for a deal and a deal only... it's not enough." Jake pressed his lips together and frowned.

Sunghoon slicked his hair back and sighed. "Talk to her about it." Jake said. "I don't wanna pressure her." Sunghoon said, "If she doesn't want to come around, it's okay, I don't mind." Jake nodded. "I'm going to sleep, I'd prefer to be alone." Sunghoon said. "Alright. If you need me call me." Jake said. Sunghoon nodded and Jake left.

Sunghoon turned off the lamp and laid down. He groaned and put his hand on his chest. The tears that had been threatening to escape his eyes finally fell silently.

"I'm going to sleep." Cheonsa said. Niki nodded and turned off the lamp since he was on the bottom bunk. Cheonsa covered her self with the blanket and let out a shaky breath.

It was her decision to leave, why was she so sad about it? Cheonsa's eyes welled up with tears and her nose became stuffy. The tears hit her pillow and she sniffled, trying to stay quiet, but she failed miserably.

Niki walked up the steps and laid next to her. Cheonsa didn't look at him so he wouldn't see her crying. Niki hugged her and played with her hair. "I feel guilty if I stay but I feel guilty if I leave." Cheonsa said, wiping her face. Niki frowned and hugged her tighter. "No matter what I do I'm hurting him." She sobbed. "It's okay." Niki said softly, rubbing her back, "Just cry it out."

Cheonsa cried into the crook of Niki's neck and eventually fell asleep. Niki wiped away her stray tears and frowned. "I hate when you're upset." He said out-loud. Niki closed his eyes and sighed.

Sunghoon woke up and wiped his face. He got up and went to the bathroom to shower. He turned on the sink and splashed his face with cold water. He looked in the mirror and stared at the stitches on his chest.

He looked at the friendship bracelet on his wrist and sighed. He rinsed it off under the sink and turned on the shower. He put the bracelet back on and leaned against the wall, holding his chest in pain. He slid down the wall and groaned, taking a sharp breath.

Jake walked in while looking at his phone, "Mr. Kim Seungmin said that the meeting can be whenever you-" Jake looked up and rushed to Sunghoon. "I'm fine." Sunghoon reassured, "Get me some pain killers." Jake grabbed the pain killers off of the cabinet and Sunghoon took a handful. "You were supposed to take 2!" Jake said. "2 didn't work earlier." Sunghoon said, "I mean 2 painkillers wouldn't help with a stabbed heart."

Jake frowned. "Anyways, I'm going to shower get out." Sunghoon said. Jake nodded and left.

Cheonsa turned on the shower and glanced at her phone. She sighed and flipped it face down. "Here's your towel." Niki said, throwing it to her with his eyes closed. "I'm not naked." Cheonsa said. Niki opened an eye, "Oh." He chuckled.

Cheonsa chuckled a bit as well. "I'm going to make breakfast so you can eat when you get out." Niki said. Cheonsa nodded, "Now get out." Niki dashed out of the door and Cheonsa smiled in amusement.

Sunghoon grunted as he put on his shirt. "Are you sure you don't need help?" Jake asked. "I'm fine," Sunghoon replied. "How do you expect to get away with leaving?" Jake asked. "I decided to do something else." Sunghoon reassured, calling Cheonsa.

"Ya, come by the hospital." Sunghoon said. "Why?" Cheonsa asked. Sunghoon looked at Jake and hesitated, "I miss you." He said finally. Jake smirked and snickered. "...I'll be there in 15." Cheonsa said. Sunghoon smiled a bit, "Okay."

Sunghoon hung up and looked in the mirror, immediately putting effort into his appearance. He fiddled with the collar on his shirt and put on his friendship bracelet.

"Did Cheonsa make that?" Jake asked. Sunghoon nodded. "Cute, huh?" He smiled, showing it off proudly. Jake nodded, "It is indeed cute." Sunghoon fiddled with it and played with the beads.

"What friend am I... I was too scared to prevent this." She mumbled. "You've saved me so many times and I couldn't save you."

Sunghoon frowned at the thought. "Why aren't you in bed?" Cheonsa scolded. Sunghoon looked at her and chuckled nervously, "I went to the bathroom." "Lay down." Cheonsa demanded. Sunghoon motioned for Jake to leave and he did so.

"Lay down." Cheonsa said. Sunghoon sat down and looked up at her with soft eyes. "Why are you looking at me like that?" Cheonsa asked. "We're you really planning on never coming back?" Sunghoon asked. Cheonsa sighed, "I didn't say never." "I want you to be around all of the time." Sunghoon said softly, "So don't even think about leaving."

Cheonsa just stared at him. "If you leave me, I won't know what to do." Sunghoon said, not breaking eye contact. "Are you high in anesthesia?" Cheonsa asked. "No." Sunghoon replied. "I think you just need to rest..." Cheonsa said. Sunghoon finally broke eye contact, "I'm trying to win you over and you're making it hard." He whined. "There's no "winning me over"." Cheonsa said. "Why?" Sunghoon asked.

"I don't date." Cheonsa shrugged. "Let me change that." Sunghoon said. Cheonsa looked at him and folded her arms, "You like your powers, not me." She said. "The other night," Sunghoon started,

"During the incident. I would usually be worried about my powers and myself. But I was worried about you. And from the moment I saw you in the auditorium that day, I admired you from afar. I took a interest in you. But I didn't know how to show it. Now that I am I won't take no for an answer."

Cheonsa stared at him and dropped her hands to he side. "So I'll keep trying until I win you over. I've never pursued anyone before so be patient with me." Sunghoon said, laying down. Cheonsa just nodded. "Give me your hand so I can heal faster." Sunghoon said. Cheonsa held his hand and smiled a bit.

Sunghoon admired her before closing his eyes. Cheonsa leaned against the wall and closed her eyes as well.
