The Stars In Your Eyes And The Lack Of Breath In My Lungs

Kihyun hated hospitals with a passion. Usually, he didn't have to visit on often but lately, his body has decided to be a pain in the ass and force him to stay a week in hospital under the hawk eyes of the nurses and doctors. He missed his boyfriend and he was sure their anniversary was coming up soon but couldn't do anything for it because he was confined to his hospital room or the gardens of the hospital down below. Kihyun sighed as he eyed the iv drip running into his arm and the abandoned oxygen mask on the bedside table. He and his boyfriend Jooheon had been out for a date when Kihyun's lungs decided to act up and he had a severe asthma attack mid-date. It had been almost a week since that horrible day and Jooheon visited him every day, bringing flowers, a new book to read, a new story to tell or sometimes even brought their best friends Minhyuk and Hyungwon for a visit. Kihyun loved Jooheon more than anything. The younger was incredibly sweet, cute and adorable. He always brought a smile to Kihyun's face, even in horrible times like the last few days. Kihyun's phone buzzed on the bedside table and he grabbed it to see he had received a text from Jooheon.

Kihyun smiled and placed his phone back on the bedside table. He and Jooheon had been together for three years... or was it four years now? Kihyun shook his head and relaxed back into his bed. He had a few scheduled tests today as he was being discharged tomorrow or the next day and the doctors and nurses wanted to make sure the inflammation of his lungs had gone down and his breathing rate was back to normal. He switched on the tv and watched the boring day shows and infomercials until he eventually fell asleep from boredom.

----------------------

Kihyun had never felt this relieved. The specialists had run some tests on him throughout the day and had concluded that the inflammation of his lungs had gone down very fast and that the treatments had worked exceptionally well and that he could be discharged tomorrow. Kihyun had asthma ever since he was very young and it had never really gotten bad until his late teen years to adult years. However, with the treatments Kihyun had received while in hospital, the doctors told him that he most probably wouldn't have a severe asthma attack again, or for a very long time at least. Kihyun couldn't wait to tell Jooheon and his friends, it wasn't long now until Jooheon was expected to visit and he had something planned. Kihyun decided to read a book that Jooheon dropped off for him the previous day until he arrived, a classic John Green novel, The Fault in Our Stars.

----------------------

Kihyun's quiet reading time (save for the noisy beeping of the iv machine and heart monitor) was interrupted by a knocking on the door to his room.

"Come in!" Kihyun placed his book on the bedside table and sat up cross-legged on the bed.

Jooheon walked in carrying a large overnight bag on one shoulder and another slightly smaller bag in his arms. "Hey Kihyunnie! How are feeling today?"
