Clueless Boy - Minsung

Chapter 74

Minho woke up in his bed, stirring so slightly.

As he moved slowly, gaining consciousness, he sat up abruptly.

He tried to remember last night, what had happened after the doctor told them about Jisung's situation, but nothing.

He didn't know where Jisung was, and how he was.

He stood up in a rush, arriving in his living room and seeing Chan, studying on the table.

Chan looked at him, worriedly.

"Hey, slow down" He said sweetly "Sit down, okay ?" He stood up, walking to the boy.

"W-What happened ?" He asked, completely lost as Chan brought him to the couch.

"You passed out" Chan said, sighing "We brought you to bed. Doctor Kim said you were just too much in tension and it all fell down, but you really should stay calm for today"

Minho didn't say anything, then looked back suddenly, looking at Jisung's room.

The door was wide open, and there was no one in there.

"He was brought to the hospital last night" Chan explained softly.

"How ?" He asked.

"Doctor Kim tried by herself at first, then we called Lia" He said "The two brought him there by car while you were sleeping"

"Was he okay ?" Minho asked, voice weak.

"He... still cried. He didn't want to leave his room, he yelled from being walked and apparently screamed a lot while entering the hospital" Chan stated, and softened as he watched Minho's face fall.

Minho's eyes saddened at the statement.

"But he's getting care now. Seungmin told us he'll stay in there for a moment, he's hospitalized"

Minho lowered down his head, sighing loudly.

He was defeated that he didn't have the chance to take a last glance at the boy before he got there. But he was genuinely reassured that he was finally in good hands.

"Any news on his physical state ?" He asked.

"It's pretty bad, like Seungmin's mom said" He said, and watched Minho wince "But nothing that is an emergency or a direct danger to his life. He'll most likely be better in the next few weeks."

Minho felt reassured, but his stomach was still churning uncomfortably.

During the day, Minho asked to be alone.

Chan agreed, but not before Minho ate something. So he cooked something rapidly, and watched him eat. When he had finished washing the dishes, he left.

He stared at his ceiling, completely immersed in his mind.

He wished all of that had never happened.

He wished that he could be cuddling Jisung in his bed, loving and kiss him over and over.

He wished his lover didn't have to live all of this, all that pain.

Standing up, he walked to Jisung's room.

He picked one of his hoodie, holding it close and smelling it, just to be reminded so slightly of him.

He really wanted to roll in Jisung's covers, but decided against it.

He didn't want to disturb his new safe place.

He left the room, closing it behind him, and walked to his own room.

His room was dark, not finding the courage to let the sun shine inside.

He laid down, holding Jisung's cloth tightly against his chest.

And again, he let himself cry his heart out.

He was terrified. Scared of Jisung's state, scared of losing him in one way or another.

Between sobs, he ended up calling his mother.

She was shocked upon hearing her son's sobs.

And she got more and more shocked as he listened to his son, as he messily explained it all.

She listened while Minho explained how they met, how he fell in love with him, and how he discovered all his background.

Until he explained the past days, and the way his heart was hurting so badly.

She couldn't help but try and reassure him, even though the situation was way too hard to anticipate anything.

"You wanna pass by, my Minnie ?" She asked softly

"Thanks ... But no" Minho said, wiping the tears out of his eyes "Maybe they'd need me. I want to be here if anything happens"

"I understand"

"Thanks mom.. I needed this"
