Before The Dawn

Five - Ready to Help

Woohyun's POV

"Hyung!" Sungyeol called me.

"Yah! What took you so long?" I shouted at him. It took him almost half an hour in the bathroom.

"Mianhe, Hyung," he said. "Sorry, I think I got an upset stomach. I think it is because of what you cooked this morning," he added.

Aish! This choding! He really likes teasing me.

"Yah!" I exclaimed. "Why are you blaming the food that I cooked? You should be blaming yourself because you ate a lot this morning. You almost ate everything without leaving anything for our maknaes, Myungsoo and Sungjong."

"Hahaha! Mianhe, hyung!" he smiled. "What can I do for you to forgive me for accusing you of such a thing?"

I looked at Sungyeol and smirked at him.

"Yah! What's with that smile?" he asked me nervously. "I don't like that smile! It makes me really nervous. The last time you did that, I almost got in trouble with Sungkyu Hyung and Dongwoo Hyung."

I automatically placed my arms around his shoulder. "Sungyeol-lie! My sweet Yeollie!" I said as I was showing him my best aegyo. "Do you really want to make me happy? Don't worry everything is going to be okay. I can assure you that."

"Whatever you say, hyung. As long as Sungkyu Hyung won't be mad at me, I am in," he said.

Sungyeol's POV

"Why did I let him sweet-talk me into doing this?" I told myself as the nurse tried to get my blood. I am already sweating like crazy here, but of course, I have to act cool in front of her, or else my image will be ruined. Imagine reading this in different entertainment news portals:

K-POP Idol LEE SUNGYEOL of INFINITE,
Fainted in a Hospital

Wahhh! I can't let that happen. I may be the group's choding, but I don't want to let other people, aside from my members and Jungyeop hyung, know about my fear of needles. It is one of my deepest and darkest secrets.

"Hyung! Why did I have to do this? You know that I am very much afraid of needles. Aishhh?! I know you want to help, but why do I have to do this, too?" I whispered as I look at him so that I won't be able to see what the nurse was doing.

Woohyun Hyung sat beside me as the nurse was already done drawing two packs of blood from him.

Two packs! Phew! That's a lot. I am happy that I convinced him to just take just one pack of blood from me.

"Sungyeol-lie, I am really sorry that I dragged you to do this," he said as he tried to calm my nerves.

" I just feel bad because of the accident that we saw a while ago," he said patiently. "I think someone survived that accident, and she really needs our help. I hope you would forgive me, Yeollie."

"Arrasso, hyung. I understand your intentions. I will just try my best to conquer my fear." I beamed at him. "Hey! I want to help out, too. If this is the only way that we can save a life, then I am willing to do it."

"Gomawo, Sungyeol-lie," he said as he pat my shoulders.
