Jisoo woke up and ran to the bathroom to vomit

Jisoo woke up and ran to the bathroom to vomit. It has been days since he kept on vomiting blood. It happens once in a while. He also kept on coughing. It won't stop even for a day. And it gets worse everyday.

Jeonghan is always there by his side. Beside him. There are days where Jeonghan and Jisoo sit outside the hospital for fresh air. That's what Jisoo needs.

Jeonghan carried Jisoo back to his bed and caressed his cheek.

"Jeonghan. It has been 2 months. I getting weaker and weaker every single day. You'll just hurt yourself when I die—"

"Don't you dare speak up about death, Hong Jisoo. I know you'll fight. You won't leave me. That's what you promised 2 months ago. You'll get through this." Jeonghan reassured him for the hundredth time.

"I can't take the pain in anymore, Jeonghan. Please." Jisoo is now begging Jeonghan to love someone else who deserves him.

Jeonghan started to sob. He hates it when his boyfriend cries, especially when he's in front of him. He loves him more than anyone.

"I've loved you for 20 years you little shit. You should accept the fact that I'll be always here and I won't leave you no matter what. I love you, and that won't change. Do you understand that? Someday, we'll get married and we'll live happily. And you're going to be fine. Don't leave me, please." Jeonghan pleaded.

Jisoo's lower lip trembled and hugged Jeonghan. "Thank you, Jeonghan. I love you. And I will fight for you no matter what." 

They didn't notice their friends standing there looking all sad and everything.

"H-hi." Jisoo greeted.

"Babe! You never told me the special one of Seungcheol!" Jisoo pinched his boyfriend beside him.

"Ah! I'm sorry, okay? I'll tell you now, then. Seungcheol is dating Jihoon!"

Jisoo squealed as if he's alright. "I never thought Jihoon would date!"

"Jisoo, they dated earlier than us." Jeonghan told him.

"Okay, wait! If Seungcheol's dating Jihoon, who are you dating Soonyoung?" Jisoo asked curiously.

"Seokmin." Soonyoung showed their hands, interlocked.

"So Minghao, I'm sure you're dating Mingyu!" Jisoo spoke up.

"I knew—" Jisoo was about to speak again but someone cleared his throat behind Minghao.

Minghao widened his eyes to Jisoo. "I'm dating Jun." 

"Ah Jisoo! I told you I'm dating Wonwoo. Don't you remember that day? I even introduced him to you!" Mingyu exclaimed.

"Oh. Hansol's probably dating Seungkwan." Jisoo spoke.

"WHAT?! HOW THE HECK DID YOU KNOW THAT HE IS DATING THIS BRAT? WHEN YOU DIDN'T GUESSED OURS CORRECTLY?!" Mingyu and Minghao complained.

"He's the only one opens up to me. He once told me that he like Seungkwan very much. That he looks so attr—"

"OKAY GUYS LET'S EAT." Hansol laughed awkwardly, and cut off Jisoo's words.

"Hey." Jisoo called Jeonghan.

He hummed as an answer.

"I love you." Jisoo spoke.

"I love you more." Jeonghan answered, sincerely.

While all of them kept on talking with each other, Jisoo kept on coughing. They didn't pay that much attention since they're all used to it. So they kept on running their mouths.

His head is spinning, he tried to stand and succeeded. But head is still spinning, and suddenly, Jisoo is already on the floor.

All of them are worried. Especially Jeonghan. Who started crying for hours. The tubes connected in his body increased.

Jeonghan entered his room, slowly walking towards his boyfriend, sadly. "What happened? Why are you being like this? You should be strong. You—"

"How are you related with Hong Jisoo?" The doctor asked him. He didn't notice that there's a doctor inside Jisoo's room.

"I-i'm his boyfriend, doctor." Jeonghan answered briefly. Eyes hoping that he'll be fine.

"Where's the mother of the patient— oh, just on time."

Jeonghan looked behind him, it's Jisoo's mother. "Auntie!" Jeonghan screamed and hugged her.

"What happened, Jeonghan? What happened doctor?" She asked worriedly. But her strength isn't enough to see her son looking dead with those tubes connected in his body.

"I'm sorry to say, he's in a coma." The doctor said, looking at the paper in his hands.

"WHAT??" Jeonghan and Jisoo's mother synchronized. Jeonghan looked displeased but Jisoo's mom looked unhappy.

Jeonghan was about to attack the doctor some questions but Jisoo's mom held him back and whispered, "calm down, Jeonghan. Getting mad won't help."

So Jeonghan just stood there and tried to calm himself down. He was gritting his teeth so hard that it could be heard.

"When will he wake up?" Jisoo's mother asked the doctor.

"We're really not sure. It's unpredictable. I'm sorry."

As the doctor left the room, Jisoo's mom fell on the floor, good thing Jeonghan was there.

"How will my life continue without him, Jeonghan? How? I—" he shushed her and just hugged her.

"We all can't take the pain easily, auntie. But he'll wake up. He will. And he should. He can't just leave us, that easily, right?" Jeonghan spoke to himself.

He called their friends to come over, even Chan. The 13 of them are friends since middle school. Jeonghan divided them into 2. Some stayed with Jisoo, some stayed with him. No matter how much Seungcheol, Jun, Wonwoo, Seokmin and Seungkwan want to hang out with their friends and boyfriends, they can't.

All they need to do is, wait for their sweetest friend, to open his eyes up and curve his lips to smile.
