flowers [kim doyoung]

"doyoung ahh! i met this guy and he's so cute! his name is sicheng~ i wonder if he sees me as a cute one though but nahhhhhhhhh, i wouldn't ditch you for a boy friend"  keiko grinned as she slurped her bowl of noodles. she was drunk at the moment and doyoung couldn't say anything. he just smiled at her and treats her at the soju stall.

"yeah, i'm glad. you should finish your bowl. your mom is probably going to murder me if i let you stay outside more than your curfew" he wiped her mouth that was stained with the curry.

she giggled and let her words slurred.

he could only sip a little of soju and find a plan on how to bring her to her house, if she was this drunk.

"come on you lazy woman. i need to piggyback you or else you're gonna crash people" doyoung crouched down and trying to hold keiko properly. he makes sure she is laying on his back and he finally can piggyback her safely.

"you are tooooo sweeeett.. yOur GiRlfRienD would bE LUCKY" her words slurred but he could hear it well despite her bad pitching of voice.

he sighed. he just wanted to confess but he remembers that keiko once said that, they would be best friends forever— not into other relationships.

he's scared because if he said the wrong words, their friendship would be over. she was the one and only girl who wanted to be his friend.

he's a cool one but people often bully him without caring about his feelings.

"yeah.. maybe she is lucky. i wonder which man could make you as your girlfriend. you're such a lazy bum and i can't tell" he said as he walked through the silent neighborhood in the dark.

"I KNOW RIGHT! maybe you could just be my boyfriend doyoungiee"

and once again, the flowers are growing uncontrollably and making him bleed as he piggyback her.

"what a wonderful time to bleed, heart"

"doyoung, you're spacing out again. are you alright?"
the other boy who had pretty dark brown hair woke him from his deep thoughts.

he just couldn't seem to forget the memories and dreams, they're getting stronger day by day.

"yeah yuta. i'm fine" he assured him with a smile but that one didn't buy it. he rolled his eyes as he knew he was lying.

"stop bluffing though. you knew i could see your blood dripping from your chest from the flowers' torns" he said as he read some of the HO's thesis on the patients.

"then if you knew, why would you ask buddy? i'm living this life for 5 years already." doyoung shrugged as he put the antiseptic inside a bottle so he could bring it to the AE room. both of them are doctors who are on call for the emergency section that particular night.

however, both of them are specialists. doyoung is a cardiologist while yuta is an anesthesiologist who works with him.

"hey, you've been hurting too long. why not see her? i take my words as i'm your best friend" yuta looks up from the paper and sets his focus on doyoung.

doyoung sighed but then he smiled.

"don't worry. i'll do it someday. i need to know too what is the reason of this" the muscles of his lips turned into a smile, a generous one even his heart aches too much.

"says the cardiologist who studies about the heart but despises his self" the latter chuckled.

"bro, i'll survive. it's not like i need to think about this disease forever. there's always something to be happy about"
