[DaBin] This Is How We Met || SF9

Chapter 11

[Youngbin POV]

I'm sitting on the bench besides the building. Everyone have gone up to visit Dawon. I need to gather my courage before I meet him first. All of this is new to me. Who would've thought that my lover (maybe) is in this condition not long after we made a decision to be together? Dawon must be scared right now. I need to be strong myself to support him. My phone vibrating alerting me for the incoming messages.

- Youngban-ah.. where are you? I wanna see you. '3'

I feel myself smiling as soon as I read the message.

- On first name now? I'm coming to you now. :)

I walked faster to the nearest lift and can't wait to meet him. Dawon looks up immediately, his face beaming when I opened the door. He looks fluffy like always with his hair sticking out all over the places. I sat down on the bed next to him. I return the smiles while fixing his hair. Dawon slid his hands onto my waist and hugging me loosely.

"Where are you just now? I miss you."

"I'm just downstairs. Where is everyone?"

"I shoved them away because I want to be with you alone."

His smiles looks lovely to me made me unknowingly traced my hand onto his face. Dawon's smiles wider and closes his eyes feeling my touch on his skin.

"I love you. It maybe too soon to say this. But I really love you."

"Me too Dawon-ah."

We ended up cuddling on the single bed together after the doctor done his checking on Dawon for the day. Dawon plays with my fingers, tracing his short fingers onto mine then interlacing them together.

"Hyung.. I made a decision to do the operation tomorrow. They told me it's gonna be fine."

"You're gonna be fine. Trust me. Can't wait to meet the healthy you."

"You know what, I should feel anxious and scared but I'm amazingly calm with all of this."

"You are? Why?"

"Because I have you here, by my side right now. That's the only thing matters."

I pulled him closer and turns him onto my own body. We stared at each other while I plays with his hair. Dawon lays his head on my chest and continues playing with my fingers. I took a deep breath before I asked him the question.

"Who's Youngkyun?"

"Youngkyunnie? He's my childhood friend. We've known each other since young."

"Only friend?"

"Well, we've been a lover before. It's been a year I guess since we broke up."

"Do you still love him?"

I told him that he sleep talk about Youngkyun when he was unconscious before.

"About that, let me be honest with you. We've broken up because he intended it, at first it is hard for me because that time I really love him or so I thought. But eventually I've passed the heartbroken stage. He's only like a brother to me. Maybe I said that because of our meeting the day before. It triggered our memory before, I guess. Beside he's already engaged with Jaeyoon hyung's junior."

"Why did you still meet him?"

Dawon told me that he asked Youngkyun to accompany him to the hospital about his condition. He didn't asked Jaeyoon because he knew that his brother would freaked out. And he didn't asked me too because he didn't want me to worry. Whilst Zuho and Rowoon wouldn't kept this as a secret if they knew. So Youngkyun is the best choice he have. Dawon looks up and stares at me when I didn't gave him any response. We faced each other's eyes.

"But hyung, this moment.. this exact time is the only things matter for me. The person I need now is only you. Just you."

Dawon leans closer and closes the gap between our lips slowly. I feel myself smiling when we kiss. That's right, the only thing matter now is that he's with me. Just us. Together.

But the happiness didn't last forever.

[Dawon POV]

I fall asleep during our cuddling time and woke up feelings confuse as there's only me on the bed. I turn around with limited amount of light in the room and saw Youngbin hyung sleeping peacefully on the couch nearby. I felt thirsty and saw a water bottle on the desk beside me. I reached out my hand but missed it because my head is throbbing like crazy suddenly. The bottle fell on the floor awakening Youngbin hyung from his sleep. I screamed a lot because of the pain and threw up before I fell unconscious again.

"Dawon-ah... DAWONN!!! Doctor!!! HELP!!!"
