CHAPTER EIGHTEEN| DEAR NON

DAYS AGO

WIK

The light of the vending machine at the end of the hospital corridor faintly flickers in the dark. Leaning against the wall right next to it, Wik is watching a bottle of iced tea painfully slowly drop down so he can take it out of the machine. He isn't quite sure if it's the vending machine that's so slow or if it's just the fact that since that thing with Chay happened, time seems to slow down. Everyone is waiting for Chay to wake up. Hoping that he'll be okay.

It's not like Wik really cares about Chay, but he does care about Kim and Non. He doesn't like to see his brother and the boy he likes walking around like a pair of ghosts with a rare glint of rage in their eyes. Whoever hurt Chay hurt the people Wik cares about, too... and that's something Wik doesn't take lightly.

The bottle finally drops down for Wik to grab it. He does so immediately and goes back to Chay's room. To Wik's surprise, Non's sitting outside, staring at the wall.

Wik sighs, sitting next to Non, he nudges his shoulder to get his attention. "Why aren't you with your brother anymore, hmm?" He asks with a low, soft voice.

"Kim... I wanted Kim to have some alone time with him," Non replies, but his voice is so quiet that Wik barely hears it. That's another thing that bugs Wik these past few days—Non barely talks to him or to anyone, really. He doesn't mind sitting in silence next to Non for hours. He really doesn't mind that, but he knows that it's not good. All that anger, frustration, fear, confusion... it all has to go somewhere. Non should talk about it. But how? How to make him do it? Wik has to come up with something. But not right now. Right now, he needs to get his little diamond hydrated and make sure he is as okay as he could be. And later, he'll somehow try to get Kim to rest for a bit and eat something as well. The food part might be actually way easier than the rest part, though. Kim has been basically glued to Chay's bed since it happened. It actually surprised Wik. Well, he knows that Kim likes Chay a lot. After all, Chay is Kim's first boyfriend. For Kim to let someone this close... things have to be serious. But the way Kim acts... if Wik didn't know better, he would think that they have been dating for years, and Kim is seriously in love.

Kim actually might be in love.

Wik looks back at Non carefully, wrapping his arm around Non's shoulder, "here, you need to drink something."

Non doesn't acknowledge the bottle of the ice tea for a moment, making Wik frustrated even more. He squeezes Non's shoulder, "Non, you have to drink something."

"I know," Non nods and finally takes the bottle from Wik, taking the first sip.

"Do you want to go for a walk?"
