without you || nct dojae

chapter 21

" but revi- " Jeno started.

" never mind that shit child. we can always crash your house again or something to study. but Doyoung hyung is- " this time Haechan cut Jaehyun off.

" what hyung?! Doyoung is what? " the boy didnt want to get his hopes too high or too low, although he had weird intentions of winning Jaehyun's heart. but the way Jaehyun is very worried about Doyoung makes the poor dongsaeng so jealous he had to pinch himself every time from saying or cursing someone.

" never mind. we'll get to the hospital first, " Jaehyun said as he hailed a taxi. the two dongsaengs got into the back with their bags and the taxi sped off.

meanwhile, Gong Myung and Taeyong were waiting for Doyoung, who had been in the room for the past hour. his hyung was getting more and more ticked off with each passing minute, unsure of how to react when he came out or what to do in that current moment. the only thing Gong Myung kept telling himself to do was to inform his parents later of his dongsaeng so that they dont worry unnecessarily.

after what seemed like two eternities later, the 'Emergency' lighted turned off and the doors opened. Taeyong and Gong Myung stood up and ran to the doctor and nurses.

" the patient seems fine. he just faced side effects of tremendous stress. the bacteria accumulating in his body reacted with his condition, causing him to breathe unevenly. for now, dont talk or show him anything that puts him at risk of going through this again. his organs all look good, and he's healing well. he's back in his room now, so you may go, " with that, the doctor smiled and left. Gong Myung and Taeyong bowed with a large amount of gratitude, and ran off to the room.

Doyoung was sleeping soundly in his bed, turned onto his right side which allowed him to face the door. his peaceful and calm face gave off a positive vibe to Taeyong, who took his place on the bed as the nurse connected him to his IV drip again. she clicked her tongue, and he shot small glares at her. it wasnt his intention to have done such a thing anyway.

Jaehyun, Jeno and Haechan came in a few minutes later, sweat dripping from their foreheads. Gong Myung greeted them as Taeyong put a finger to his lips and looked over at the sleeping patient.

Jaehyun heaved a sigh of relief as he took the chair next to Doyoung's bed, while Haechan and Jeno sat on the floor, their heavy breathing followed by their hearts beating hardly filling up the tense atmosphere of the room. they were too tired to talk or even think, let along coming to the hospital to see someone they werent even close to. nonetheless, it was somewhat basic respect, so the two boys did not say anything.

" annyeonghaseyo~ Jaehyun imnida. Those two are Jeno and Donghyuck, although we call him Haechan. we're Doyoung's hoobaes in school, " Gong Myung nodded his head and patted the dongsaeng's back.

" ah arasso~ gomawo for taking care of my dongsaeng. he can be quite a hand full, " Jaehyun smiled a little bit as he was led by Gong Myung to sit down. at the same time, Doyoung shifted in his bed. his arm and back cracked as he stressed, but pain shot up in his left hand. he winced and Taeyong immediately readjusted his position. Doyoung's eyes opened, and he looked around the room. he scrutinised every corner like as if he hadnt seen them before, and seeing familisr faces brought him a sense of calm.

Gong Myung rushed to the dongsaeng's side, happiness all over his face. he couldnt find the right words to express himself, but watching how Doyoung was up and awake eased the tension in his shoulders.

" oh... annyeong hyung~ " Doyoung mumbled as he slightly bowed his head. he knew that Taeyong was the one who brought him to the doctor because he recalled how the poor boy was in a frantic panicky mode when he was about to pass out. deep inside him, Doyoung was eternally grateful for having good chingus although he recently moved to Seoul.
