Growing Pains

Decision

Hyukjae woke up and sat up, the members were immediately by his side the moment he woke up. They bombarded him with questions and he was getting annoyed by them. Donghae knew the expression he's showing.

"Yah Shut up! Give him some space!" Donghae shouted at them, some glared at him and some step back from Hyukjae. Leeteuk approached Donghae.

Leeteuk nagged at Donghae about some members are older than him, that he could have said it much more quietly, and how he should be this loud when they're on a variety show. The members laughed at the scene that they saw, like a mother disciplining her child.

Hyukjae laughed as well but he was a coughing fit, Yesung patted his back. "You okay?" He asked, "I'm gonna die" Hyukjae answered, mocking Yesung voice. They were laughing again and Hyukjae just smiled. Cause what he said is the truth, he already chosen a decision. He's willing to die for Donghae, he hopes that the Fans wouldn't be devastated when he died. It isn't the final decision though, he was still having second thoughts. What if SUJU disbands just because he died? What if they blame each other? There are many things that should be considered that's why he was still thinking of having surgery.

The members noticed Hyukjae quietness and they were worried, 'it doesn't suit Hyukjae' they thought. They informed Hyukjae that he could go back to the dorm later and they were glad to see the light in his eyes again. Now Hyukjae is blabbering how boring it was in the hospital.

'Time to go home!'Hyukjae thought, Shindong went out to inform the front desk. The members help Hyukjae stand up and Donghae held Hyukjae waist, Hyukjae felt the itchy sensation again, he could feel the petals in his mouth and swallowed it down. He wants to enjoy this moment, Donghae held him tightly and Hyukjae blushed. Siwon notices that Hyukjae was red as a tomato, he went to him and put his hand on Hyukjae's forehead, Hyukjae blushed even more for the action.

"Are you okay Eunhyuk? Your face is warm." Siwon asked, Donghae looked at Hyukjae and notices that his face is indeed bright red and warm. Siwon slowly put his hand that was on Hyukjae's forehand to his cheek. Donghae saw what he's doing, he pulled Hyukjae away from him and glared at Siwon. "I'm okay Siwon! Thank you for your concern!" Hyukjae replied He was confused because Donghae is acting weird...more than the usual weird.

The members arrived at the parking lot, Hyukjae and Donghae first got in the vehicle. They were beside each other, Hyukjae slips his head onto Donghae's shoulder. Donghae looked at Hyukjae and smiled warmly at him, Hyukjae returned the action. While the other members were getting inside, Hyukjae fell asleep. When he woke up, they already arrived at the dorm. He was confused about how he got into his and Donghae's room. 

"I carried you." Donghae whispered into Hyukjae's ear, Hyukjae screamed (take note a manly scream) and fell off the bed. Donghae laughed and help him stand up, Hyukjae looked at him annoyed. "Sorry about that." he apologized to Hyukjae. 

"You're a creep," Hyukjae said pretending to be scared of Donghae, Donghae slowly approaches Hyukjae until he pinned him to the wall. "Well only to you," Donghae whispered huskily to Hyukjae's ear.

Hyukjae felt another itchy sensation in his throat and started coughing, He held onto Donghae for support but it makes things worst. Hyukjae feel the petals on his mouth, So he dashed to the bathroom, locked it and vomited. He was frightened by what he saw, it was a flower, not a petal. A flower, A fully bloomed Yellow Carnation. 

He cried, it means Donghae doesn't feel the same way about him. He could hear someone knocking but he was too tired to respond. He just sat there on the bathroom floor. After a few minutes, he regained enough energy to stand and clean the bathroom. He flushed the toilet and throw all the petals that fell from the flower to the bin.
