Tall Midget - TaePyo fanfic (boyxboy)

~ 7 ~

As I woke up everything was extremely blurry and my head felt like a spinning top.
I looked over to my right and saw a slender figure, sitting in the chair and holding my hand.

"W-where a......am..... I-I?" I asked, mumbling my words, squinting.
"We're at the hospital Jiho, you fell down the stairs." He replied, tears forming.
"J-Jihoon?" I asked, squinting at him, clearing my vision.

"Yes?" He asked in a shaky voice, leaning closer to me.
"W-why are you here?" I asked, staring at the fire colour haired boy.
"I was worried about you, I took you here." He said, a tear rolling down his cheek.
"Y-you where?!" I asked, raising my voice a little too much.

"Yes." He said, looking at me with totally seriousness in his eyes.
"But why? I'm not Taeil." I said, rolling my head back and looking to the other side.
"Like I said, I was worried sick for you. You scared me so bad. And I know you're not Taeil, but don't ever do that again, it gave me a heart attack!" He exclaimed, squeezing my hand.

"By the way.... You can let go of my hand now," sitting up I slid my hand out, "It's weird coz you're not my boyfriend or whatever." I said, averting eye contact.
"I may not be your boyfriend, but everyone now thinks it because of the way I carried you in...." He mumbled.

I froze in my bed.
"W-what?!"
"How did you carry me in?!" I yelled at Jihoon.
"Erm..... Well...... Like this..." He said and held his arms up as if he was carrying a women in his arms.

"YOU CARRIED ME LIKE THAT?!" I yelled at the top of my lungs.
"I DIDN'T THINK ABOUT IT!!! I JUST DID IT AS A NATURAL REACTION!!!" He screamed back at me.
"A n-natural reaction?" I repeated, just to be clear.

"Y-yeah.... I did it with Taeil when we....." He began, but trailed off.
"When you what?" I asked, intrigued.
"None of your business." He replied, turning red.

"What's it actually like having a boyfriend?" I asked, even more intrigued.
"Well, if he's anything like Taeil, then it's actually really good. No whining girl around you complaining about their butt being too big or their hair not being right and spending hours. Taeil is perfect for me and I love him so much." He said, smiling through the entire explanation.

"Wow, you really do love him don't you." I said, looking at the smiling boy next to me and feeling sorry for myself.
"Well, yeah, he's my everything." He said, smiling even wider.

I looked down and thoughts sloshed around in my head like a slush ice machine.
"You know... You're actually my type...." I mumbled to myself, extremely quietly.
"Huh? What was that?" Jihoon asked, looking at me.

"Oh, nothing I was just thinking." I said, blushing a little.
"About what?" He asked, looking innocently cute.
What the hell am I thinking? First I say he's my type, then I call him cute and innocent?!

"A-about.... About how long I'm gonna have to stay in this bed till I can get out of this room." I said quickly, thinking on my broken foot.
"Oh well, I'll call the doctor over and then he'll check on you." Jihoon said, getting up to go to the door.
"N-no. Don't leave me please." I said, to my own surprise.
"I-I'm just getting the doctor." He said, looking at me like: Er........

"S-still, don't go. I hate it on my own....." I said, turning into a cherry.
"Wow.... Taeil wasn't kidding......" He said, sitting back down.
"What?" I asked, looking at him.

"Taeil told me whilst we were packing your things that you hate being alone, I thought he was joking, but I guess he wasn't." He said, smiling lightly at me.
"Y-yeah....." I chuckled, making the atmosphere totally bone awkward.

"Well, I can't get the doctor unless I leave the room, or we wait." He said, sighing.
"We can wait." I said quickly.
"O....kaaayyyy....." He replied.

We sat in silence for roughly 10 minutes, then Jihoon's phone started ringing in his pocket.
"Ah, sorry." He said, picking up the phone and placing it to his ear, standing up and walking to the door.
"I'll take this outside." He said, completely forgetting about what I said before.
"N-no!" I tried to yell, but my voice stopped working for a second.

It was too late, he was already out of the door.
I started getting adjutant and nightmares flooded my thoughts. My whole world came crashing down on me and I didn't know what to do. Flames went through my eyes and burned memories into my skull.

My head was spinning, smoke filled the room, rubble all around me, wood burning at my feet, bed sheets on fire, yelling voices in my head. It wouldn't stop.
I looked to my left and saw my father at the door, trying to save me but he couldn't get passed the wooden plank that had fallen in front of my door.

~FlashBack~
I was in my room, screaming into my knees. All around me was alight and smoke filled my lungs making me delusional. I saw my sheets burning into crisps. My mother was screaming my brothers name. Father was yelling at me to move but it was if I was frozen to the floor.

Flames flickered in front of me, edging closer to me, encasing me in a horror of heat. The flames danced towards me, catching my rug that I was sitting on, causing me to jump up onto my feet and dash towards the window.

As I sprinted to the window, more wood crashed down, falling on top of me, burning my back.
The pain was excruciating. I felt like death. My body started to shut down and I could feel the wood practically piercing through my back.

Seconds felt like hours. I was under there for 30 seconds until my father managed to move the wood. He picked me up and threw me over his shoulder, sprinting down the stairs and out the door were the air was clear and bright.

As I coughed the smoke and nightmare out of my lungs, I managed to stance myself to my knees as my back still felt like death. I saw father run back into the house and carry out my brother who was coughing and spluttering like crazy. My mother was already outside, cradling my brother, but my father hadn't come back out yet.

"Where's father?" I spluttered out.
"H-He went.... Back...." My brother coughed.
"B-Back....." I mumbled, coughing out the rest of the smoke.

As soon as the thought clicked, I sprinted towards the house again, only to be blasted back by a huge explosion that came out of the house, launching me backwards and smashing into a car.

~ End of FlashBack ~

As Jihoon entered the room again the horror started to fade and I felt the love of another person in the room.
"J-Jiho?" He asked, sitting back down in the chair.

"Y-yeah?" I asked, looking at him, the nightmare slowly fading.
"Are you ok?"
