-joshua-

i was sitting on the floor of my bathroom with petals around me, i tried breathing slowly but everytime i tried i coughed up the flowers. i did a good job in hiding my hanahaki situation but, the problem is i can't keep it up. seokmin is my safe haven at the moment, he made me forget about my hanahaki. and i'm thankful for that, right now though, i might die. i heard my phone ringing from my side as i weakly grabbed my phone and saw hansol's caller ID, i pressed the accept button and tried to bring my phone to my ears.

"hyung? are you alright?" i hear hansol's voice as i felt blood trickle down my mouth and cough out another petal, "v-vernon." i called out in english, my voice was very broken. "hold on josh, i'll be there." he said as he ended the call. i dropped my phone as i coughed out more petals as tears were in my eyes, then i saw some blood dripping from my mouth. i wiped my mouth and my eyes and leaned onto the empty bath tup then rest, waiting for hansol.

(let's see what happened at the cafe,
shall we?)
-seokmin-

i was pacing back and forth in the cafe at the moment, the cafe is still closed because we noticed that jisoo hyung is not yet here. "i'll try to call him." i said as i walked to where my phone was and dialled jisoo's number, it was ringing for awhile then i heard a ding "hi this hong jisoo, i'm sorry i can't be on the phone right now~" my heart fluttered at his voice. it's making me miss him and even more worried. i frowned because jisoo hyung always answer my calls, i placed my phone on the table as jeonghan looked at me "so? did he answer?" jeonghan hyung asked me sadness in his tone as i shook my head. everyone tried calling him again but he didn't answer, "damnit, he didn't answer mine." minghao said then frowned as jun hyung rubbed his back.

"maybe i can try to call him." hansol said as he reached for his phone and dialled his number, jisoo and hansol were very close like siblings and their parents knew eachother aswell, so maybe we have a chance. our eyes lit up as vernon smiled a little, "hyung? are you alright?" hansol asked through the phone but then hansol suddenly frowned "hold on josh, i'll be there." he said in a foreign language, and all i know that it's english. hansol ended the call as he stuffed his phone in his pocket, "i'll be back later guys!" he said as he almost ran out of the cafe then he turn back to us "i'll update you guys on how hyung's doing!" he added as he completely ran to jisoo hyung's apartment building.

i almost felt jealous of hansol because jisoo didn't answer his call in the first ring, but that didn't matter now because hansol and jisoo are like siblings. "okay kids." seungcheol said as he stood up and flipped the sign to let the people know that we're open, "after this let's make get well cards for jisoo." seungcheol said as we all agreed as we walked to our work stations.

while making the milkshakes i was mostly frowning and thinking about jisoo hyung, then i felt someone pat my back. i turn around to see jihoon hyung patting my back and giving me a small smile "he's going to be alright seokmin." he said reassuringly as i smiled at him, "thanks hyung." i said cheerfully as jihoon rolled his eyes at me. "i only did that because i don't like to see any of you sulking." he said as i laughed at him and everything was the usual; minghao being thughao, jihoon wanting his guitar so he can hit mingyu, mingyu trying to hide but fails and me laughing very loudly. but in the back of my mind, i was thinking about jisoo hyung.

(back at jisoo's apartment)
-joshua-

i open my eyes and looked around, then i remembered that i rested inside my bathroom. i heard a knocking sound then footsteps afterwards, i also hear the bathroom door open. "joshua hyung!" i hear someone exclaim as they run towards me, i look up to see vernon with a worried expression on his face. "hyung why didn't you tell us?" hansol asked me as he gave me the medicine that seokmin bought me and a glass of water, "t-thanks vernon." i said as i take the pill in my mouth and drank my water.

hansol was sitting across from me looking at the blood, petals and thorns around us on the floor. i place the glass down on the side as we made eye contact, hansol had his arms crossed but he wasn't mad. "why didn't you tell us you had....this?" he asked me and needed me to tell him what ny disease was, "hanahaki." i said back as hansol nodded his head as he got the new information processing in his brain.

"why didn't you tell us you had, no, have hanahaki?" hansol repeated his question as he picked up the flower petal, "and what is even hanahaki?" he asked me again as i tried not to cough again. "well, i didn't tell you guys because i thought i would be fine without getting confined." i told him as he just nodded as a respone, i bit my bottom lip as i was about to explain to him what hanahaki is. "and hanahaki is a rare disease which a person is experiencing one sided love, a person is able to recover by two options. one is to get surgery and forget all of the feelings for the person you love that doesn't love you back and two is to hope that the person you're secretly inlove with will love you back." i explained without stopping and then i coughed out some petals and thorns as hansol backed away and widened his eyes. "so that's what hanahaki does to you?" he asked me as i nodded as i tried breathing properly again,

hansol just nodded and moved forward again, "so," he said as i looked at him. "who's the one causing your hanahaki?" he asked me as i bit ny lip again almost making it bleed, "i-it's seokmin." i said as hansol widened his eyes again, i swear this kid might pop his eyes out for doing that, but then slowly nodded. "your secret is safe with me hyung." hansol said as he smiled at me as i smiled back at him, "you want me to ring the others that you're fine and only have a fever?" he asked me as i nodded as he grabbed my hand and helped me stand up to walk out of the bathroom and to my bed. i sat down on my bed as hansol walked out, phone in his hand. i sighed as my throat was sore and my breathing was unstable, i don't even know if i can survive this anymore. i lay down on my bed and thought of the only thing that made me happy, i started thinking about seokmin.
