Breath Taking

"Apology Not Accepted?"

•• Jackson's POV ••

"Ugh... Jackson ah.." Yugyeom mumbled in a soft voice. I smile at him and lay his head on my lap so he could feel more comfortable. "I'm o-okay now.." He reached out his hand as he stroked his fingers through my hair. I chuckle as he returns my smile.

"I'm glad you are... Hyung's sorry if you were in pain..." I mutter, combing his strands of his hair away from his eyes. Yugyeom shook his head a little as he smiled sweetly at me "You don't.. Have to.. Be sorry, hyung" He said in between gasps for air.

I place a quick peck on his lips. Yugyeom snuggles into my lap as he hugs my waist tightly. I help hold him so he doesn't jolt forward on speed bumps or when the car brakes. I smile to myself as Yuggie looked like a kid like this, so cute and innocent... Yet so fragile...

~ Timeskip ~

It's nearly been an hour long drive back to Youngjae's house but finally we've arrived. The car parked just outside the huge mansion on the driveway. Lights were on in the house, meaning there were people. Bambam and Sungjong quickly got out of the car. I turn to look at Yugyeom.

"Can you stand up, baby boy?" I ask him, to which he shakes his head "I feel weak..." He mutters a bit to me. I nod in understanding and snake my arms under him, readying myself to carry him. Yugyeom plays with the buttons on my shirt as he placed his hands on my chest.

I inched closer to the cardoor. I signal for one of the guys to open it for me, Bambam does so. I carefully step one foot out and start to get out whilst carrying Yugyeom. I was shaking quite a bit but eventually, I fully got out of that vehicle.

I followed Bambam and Sungjong to the front door and stood there silently. Bambam rang the doorbell a few times and even called out "Youngjae hyung! Open up please!" Rustling could be heard from inside and footsteps nearing the door. I took a deep breath to calm and balance myself.

The door swung open, revealing a very messy haired Jaebum, in a tank top and boxers. "I don't wanna know..." Bambam muttered as he saw Jaebum's state. Jaebum swung the door wide open for us. Bambam and Sungjong turn to me "We'll leave the rest to you" Bambam said, patting my back as Sungjong and him leave me.

They got back to the car and drove off. I cursed under my breath and turned to Jaebum, who looked just as confused as me. I stepped inside "What's wrong with him?" Jaebum asked me, pointing to Yugyeom. I opened my mouth to speak but was immediately interrupted.

"Jaebum! Honey, who was it?" I hear Youngjae yell from the living room as footsteps were close. Jaebum looked at me as I looked back with the same horrified expression "Sh*t..." He muttered to me. "Uh.. Jackson..?" I turn to Youngjae as he looked to surprised to see me.

"Heeey~ Youngjae!" I chimed awkwardly. He eyes me and Jaebum "I have no idea.." Jaebum said, holding his hands up. Youngjae approached us and his eyes widened to see Yugyeom, whose breathing was quite shallow and scarce. "Ah! What happened?!"

"Well... He kind of had an attack.." I explained whilst not looking Youngjae in the eye. This sunshine can burn your a** once enraged. I hear him groan and immediately gulp "Jackson, I thought you told me Yugyeom was safe with you! You told me this was just a "simple date"!"

"It was! I didn't know what happened, I swear" I really didn't, I've never really fully understood Yugyeom's conditions and what triggered them. "Why didn't you give him his inhaler and let him take deep breaths when the heart monitor went off?" Youngjae said, more calmly than before which is a good sign.

"It didn't go off" I said in confusion. I didn't hear any beeping, and that thing is usually quite loud. Youngjae raised an eyebrow as he examined Yugyeom's wrists then made a tsk sound. "Why isn't he wearing it? He's supposed to always wear it!" I could feel the spite in Youngjae's voice despite it's soft tone.

"Y-Youngjaee hyung..." I hear Yugyeom say softly as his hand reached out to Youngjae's cheek. "Mianhe.. I took it off e-earlier... Please don't be ma-ad at Jaackson.." I smile a little at Yugyeom's words. Youngjae sighed deeply and caressed Yugyeom's hand "Okay sweetie.. But rest for now okay?"

Yugyeom nodded a bit as Youngjae gestures for Jaebum to carry him. I pass Yugyeom gently to Jaebum and watch carefully as he walks up the stairs with him in his arms. I avert my attention back to Youngjae once I could see them reach the top of the stairs safely.

"For Yugyeom's sake, I'm not gonna get mad at you.." I was surprised by his calm tune. I was sure that as soon as Yugyeom was out of sight he would blow a fuse. I'm glad I was wrong. "But I want you to leave. Right now." He said sternly, pointing to the door . "But Youngjae-" "Leave! Now!" He yelled loudly.

I flinched at his loud voice. "Just leave Jackson, before I blow a fuse.." He opens the door for me. I nod in understanding and leave but stand stuck at the doorway "I'm really sorry Youngjae..." I apologized one more time.

He smiles a little at me "Okay... I'll probably forgive you tomorrow... But for now, I'm down right angry at you Jackson" I nod and start walking and as I hear him slam the door behind me, I sigh deeply.

I decide to ride the bus back home seeing that Bambam and Sungjong had left me and I didn't have much money for a taxi. I sit on the cold seat of the bus and watch as street lights and buildings pass by. Tomorrow I needed to make it up to Youngjae and need to repay Mark. I need to visit Yugyeom ofcourse, to see if he's better too.

I need a do over...
