Ship: Binsung
Triggers/Warnings: sick person

--------------------------------

It was a normal day for the seven best friends named Chan, Minho, Changbin, Hyunjin, Felix, Seungmin and Jeongin. They had agreed that they would meet in the park today on their day off and everyone was there, all except one. Jisung. Confused why he wasn't there yet, they called and texted him, but there was no response. Not even two hours later, because they were now worried, they packed up their things and headed to Jisung's apartment, and since everyone had the other's key, they easily got in, which of course they didn't expect, was that they found Jisung surrounded by used tissues on the couch soundly asleep. 

An empty cup of tea on the coffee table as well as medication lying around. They quickly realized that the boy was sick and had probably forgotten that they actually wanted to meet. And just as the seven of them were, they tidied up around the sleeping boy until he woke up. However, they froze in place when they heard that Jisung was crying and even more so when they heard what seemed to be the trigger for it. 

"He hugs everything and everyone but me. It's not like I'm not a part of the friend group too... cuz I am.. but maybe he doesn't like me either.. At least b-binnie hugs everyone but me.. e-even those... who hate physical contact..." he sobbed. The others turned to Changbin with wide eyes, who looked just as shocked as the others. He never in his life expected that Jisung would take it in such a way that he wouldn't be hugged, and it wasn't his intention either. He just thought that since Jisung was always a bit distant from him, that he didn't like him, but the fact that Jisung now seems to think that Changbin doesn't like him broke the older boy's heart. 

The others looked at him waiting to see what he would do next and so he sat down next to Jisung on the couch and hugged him without saying a word. Jisung logically was startled since he didn't know anyone was in his apartment. "Huh?" Was the only thing that left his mouth until he melted into the embrace and started crying again, not knowing it was Changbin. He let the younger boy cry his heart out for a while until he started talking. "Hannie.." He said and then he immediately noticed how the younger boy's body tensed in his arms. 

"Shhh... I really like you and I'm so incredibly sorry that I made you feel like I didn't like you or that you weren't worth hugging or whatever. On the contrary, I-I wanted to.. but you were somehow always so distant and reserved, which is why I thought you would be uncomfortable if I hug you, so I never did it." Jisung broke away from the older boy and looked at him with glassy eyes, but he didn't say anything but went back into Changbin's arms. 

They stayed for a while like this until Jisung got the next shock when someone else suddenly started talking. "Hannie.. why didn't you tell us that you were sick, huh? We would have come to you much earlier.." Minho murmured and looked at the half-asleep boy with a gentle smile. "Forgot we were meeting..." he mumbled before he fell asleep completely in Changbin's arms.

"Sometimes... sometimes you just have to hug a person to find out whether they like it or not... not everything is just a simple hug..." Jisung whispered and Changbin knew what he wanted to say with it and squeezed his delicate body a little more. 

the end.

So Hi.

I'm sorry that i didn't published something yesterday, I couldn't because I had to babysit my cousin and he was here for quite a while. I also know that this chapter is quite short, I hope that you are also okay with chapters like this, because I probably won't always be able to put together chapters that are close to 1000 words long. 

Then there's something else that doesn't really concern you, but I have to get off my chest because I don't want to start crying again, I'm already sick and it all just sucks. As you know, I have a 'best friend', we met on Wednesday because she's starting work soon and - fortunately - has less time. We wanted to do something again today, but as you know, I'm sick and I then texted her that I will not come because I'm not feeling any better and was even a little worse.

 Her answer was then... wait a minute and I quote: I don't even know what to say to my mom now. Until now, she has spent the night cleaning, tidying up and rearranging furniture because we had to take it from my grandpa. I somehow had a feeling that you were canceling... but oh well, feel better!

She knew that I wasn't feeling well, even on Wednesday... but if she ignores it or something else, there's nothing I can do... you can hear from my voice that I'm sick, you can tell from the fact that I keep sneezing over and over again and then she texted me something like that... 

I don't understand it... if her aim was to make me feel guilty about it, she succeeded, because I couldn't sleep properly because of it... this morning at 4... I was close to crying because of this message and reaction in general... she's my best friend, shouldn't she be a little understanding?... And it's normal... that I now have a bad conscience and wonder why I'm sick... right?... that's... normal?... 

Well.. thats it.. to all of you who read my rambling, thank you! To everyone else thank you too, for being here and reading this book! 

I love you all!

Bye bye.
