Kihyun
~two days later~
My throat felt really dry like I ran a marathon and have yet to drink a sip of water. I opened my eyes and took in my surroundings. White walls, sterile smell, humming of machinery, beeping of a heart monitor.... A hospital....
I tried to sit up, but found that I couldn't. I managed to move my fingers though. I felt something soft next to my left hand. I looked down and saw Hyunwoo sitting in a chair with his head on the edge of the bed next my hand on his arms. He furrows his brows in his sleep and frowns deeply. I smiled softly and reached for his forehead to make him stop. I press my index finger between his brows lightly. He mutters something under his breath and moves a bit away from my finger.
I chuckled silently and put the tips of my fingers in his hair toying with the strands that I could reach. Not soon enough, he starts to wake up. When his eyes fully open, I said in a raspy voice, "Hey there, Sleeping Beauty."
He blinks once and stares at me.
"Hello, is anyone there," I joked.
"Kihyun ah," he shouts after blinking multiple times and sat up straight. He grabs the hand that I was using to play with his hair and holds it tight.
"Yes?"
"I...you scared me so much. I thought so many bad thing-," he says looking for signs of discomfort in my face.
"Shhh...I know," I smiled weakly.
"Wait, I need to call the doctor and tell her that you woke up," he says and reaches over me and presses the button above the headboard. Seconds later, my doctor came with two nurses on her heels.
"Kihyun ssi, I see that you finally woke up. How are you feeling," she asks and checks my breathing with the stethoscope.
"Mmm, I have felt worst....," I answered before coughing lightly.
"Nurse Kim, give him some water," Dr. Park says. Nurse Kim pours some water into a cup, puts a straw in it, and put the straw between my lips. I drank two big gulps and moved away from it. Nurse Kim puts the cup back down on the small desk where the pitcher of water was. Dr. Park looks at the monitors, mutters something to herself, and writes something down on my files.
"Do you know why you are here," she asks.
"I passed out after coughing out some blood...," I said and looked away from the pained expression that Hyunwoo was giving me.
"Kihyun ssi, I told you that you should come see me right away if your illness gets worst," she says in a serious tone that reminded me of how a mom would reprimand her child.
"I know. I just....," I trailed off when I couldn't think of a reasonable excuse. Then, I felt Hyunwoo holding my hand tightly.
"...we are going to have to run some tests to see how much worse it has gotten before we can start treatment," she adds.
"Of course," I answered.
"Nurse Kim, please guide the patient's fiance out of the room," Dr. Park states.
"This way please," Nurse Kim says to Hyunwoo and makes a gesture to the door. Hyunwoo looks at me with worry and hesitates.
"Go on. I will be fine," I told him.
~after all of the tests were done~
*door opens*
"Kihyun ah~," Hyunwoo calls out to me when he comes into the room again.
"Hyunwoo~," I said.
He sits down on the chair he was sitting on earlier and asks, "So, what did the doctor say?"
"That the results should be out in a day or so," I replied before pausing. "Don't look at me like that," I said as he looked at me with sad eyes. I reached up to touch his face but he was out of reach. He leans forward and takes my hand to make it cup his cheek. I stroked his cheek with my thumb and smiled softly. He kisses the palm of my hand.
"I'm sorry that I am like this," I said in a low voice.
"Kihyun, this isn't your fault. You don't need to apologize for this. I love you no matter what," he says.
"I love you too," I said. He kisses me on the lips lovingly. I tugged on his shirt and gestured for him to lay on the bed too. He opens his mouth to say no, but I gave him my best puppy dog eyes.
He chuckles and waits for me to move over so, I did. He lays down in front of me careful to not jostle me or mess with the IV and other machinery that was hooked up to me. I snuggled closer and tucked my head under his chin and wrapped an arm around him.
He puts an arm around me too and kisses the top of my head. I smiled and just laid there inhaling his scent. A nice mint and citrus smell that I came to love. His warmth flowed into me making me feel comfortable and safe which in turn kept my mind off of the things that were weighing on my mind.
