EDITED - 17 JUN 2020

--

so many hours passed. changkyun was still unconscious. jooheon had wrapped two blankets around his body to keep him warm yet that didn't stop him from getting colder and colder.

"changkyun, please wake up..." jooheon whispered. he had his forehead rested against changkyun's chest.

he could feel his heartbeat and he was still breathing so he had hope that everything was going to be okay soon. it had to be okay. he needed changkyun. and not only because changkyun was his angel but because he was his best friend, too. he couldn't rely on anyone as he relied on changkyun.

now that he felt like he was losing changkyun he started valuing how much care he has received from him. he had never even thought about the possibility of changkyun dying because he was basically immortal. right?

"wake up," his voice became shakier as he repeated.

he was aware that changkyun hadn't just fainted. it was obvious was the case was so much more serious.

he didn't know what to do. he had no idea if angel doctors existed. he didn't know about any other angels either since he couldn't see them. he could only pray.

around one more hour of waiting, he felt changkyun's hand grabbing his wrist and he jumped up a little.

"changkyun..." he said, cupping the angel's cheeks. he felt tears pooling at the edges of his eyes as he moved and pressed his forehead against changkyun's.

changkyun's lips curled upwards. he had been awake for a while already but he didn't open his eyes, he was just enjoying the warm feeling of jooheon's hands. they felt so good against his cold skin.

"i'm not dying yet," he quietly said with a laugh to reassure jooheon. his voice was still very weak. all of his strength had escaped his body. "but you will have to prepare for that, too."

"what do you mean?" jooheon's eyes widened.

"isn't it obvious? i dont have long left, jooheon."

"no," jooheon mouthed. "you're not going anywhere... changkyun, you can't die."

"is that a challenge?" changkyun snorted.

instead of answering, jooheon just pressed his lips against changkyun's. the latter's eyes snapped wide open as their lips came in contact. it was too sudden. jooheon didn't know why but he just felt the need to do it.

at first changkyun placed his his hands on jooheon's chest, contemplating if he should push him away. eventually, he wrapped his arms around jooheon's neck. he suddenly felt so alive. his one and only dream finally happened. it was like it was his last wish before he died. and now that it actually happened... he couldn't stop smiling as he was kissing jooheon. it was much better than he expected it would be.

"promise me you won't go anywhere." jooheon's tears were falling down on changkyun's face. "please. i need you, changkyun."

"i'm sorry jooheon..." changkyun caressed the blond's cheek gently. "but all of this is your fault."

"w-what?"

"there are so many things i haven't told you just so i didn't stop you from doing what you like." before he could say anything else, changkyun turned away and put his arm over his mouth. he started coughing and soon realized that there was blood dripping down from his mouth and over his hands.

"just... don't push yourself and rest," jooheon kissed changkyun's forehead, making him rest his head on the pillow under him. he quickly found a tissue and wiped the blood off of the angel's mouth.

if he was the reason for changkyun's death then now he had to at least take care of him. he had to do it because he owed changkyun so much. and it was the most he could do at this point.

he wrapped his arms around changkyun's small torso. "i love you so much, changkyun..."
