Stalker- Yang Hongseok

#14

AN: quick question, anyone here an Ateez fan? I recently got into them, and I'm so in love. My 10% straightness is shaking. My biases are Hongjoong and Mingi!

I woke up to an amazing feeling. Hongseok was tracing my back with his fingers, which gave me chills. The good kind. It made me happy that I didn't put my clothes back on before I fell asleep last night.
- you're up.
Hongseok said, stating the obvious when he noticed my eyes were open. He stopped touching my back.
- did I say you could stop?
I asked him, making him laugh.
He kissed me, and continued touching my back.
It felt like his fingers was writing something.
Wait a minute..
- are you seriously writing idiot on my back?
I asked.
Hongseok just looked at me, and giggled. I flicked him on his forehead.
- that hurt.
He said.
- that was my intention.

After playing in bed for a while, not the way one would think, we decided it was time to visit my brother.
I had already figured out what to tell Jaehyuk thanks to Hongseok. But that didn't mean i was ready. But it was time to ask for forgiveness. Or just.. apologize.
We arrived at the hospital about an hour after we had left the house. I was getting tired of having to wear masks on the bus, so I was considering getting my drivers license.
- you don't have to come with me. I don't want Hui to dislike me.
I said to hongseok.
- why would he dislike you?
Hongseok asked.
- because you always break his rules when you're with me. you don't even bother telling Him where you are.
I said, and laughed.
- he's actually not that strict anymore.
Hongseok said.
- No way. Hui is like an old grumpy man.
I said. Hongseok started laughing really loud.
- I'll give you anything you want if you say that to his face.
He said.

We entered the hospital, and started looking for my brothers room. Was it 207 or 307?
Neither of us remembered, so I called Krystal. She came five minutes later, and showed us the way to Jaehyuk's room.
- you should go inside alone.
Hongseok said.
- please come with me.
I said.
- I'll come with you. But if he asks me to leave I'll go.
Hongseok said smiling, and squeezed my hand.
- thank you.
I said.
We entered my brothers room.
He was asleep, or maybe just resting his eyes for a bit.
I sat down on the chair beside the bed, while hongseok looked around the room.
- hey, what do you think happens if I press this button?
Hongseok said, holding up a button linked to a small tube.
- it releases some pretty good painkillers into my veins.
Jaehyuk suddenly said and opened his eyes. Hongseok quickly dropped it, and made a weird noise like he was startled. It made jaehyuk laugh.
- I've missed you..
I told jaehyuk.
He just looked at me, not saying anything for about a minute.
- who are you?
He asked me.
What? No.. this can't be real.

Suddenly he started laughing.
- you should see your face right now.
He said, and laughed louder. Even hongseok was laughing.
- you have no right to be mad at me after this.
I told jaehyuk.
- I wasn't even mad to begin with.
He said.
- really?
I asked.
- ok maybe just a little bit.
He explained.
- I'm so sorry. I just couldn't watch you die.
I said.
- I know you did it because you love me.
He said.
Of course I did it because I loved him. I loved him more than anyone. he was all I have had all my life and the only one that took care of me.

I guess I had no reason to be nervous. He could never really stay mad for long.
Hongseok looked a little shocked that my brother wasn't upset.
- you better take good care of her when I'm not around.
Jaehyuk told hongseok.
- of course.
Hongseok said.
Then they shook hands. I had never imagined that my brother would accept Hongseok like that.
It almost made me want to cry out of joy.
- you should go now. I'm tired.
Jaehyuk said.

I didn't want to leave but if he was tired, he should rest.
- but I need to talk to you alone for a minute.
Jaehyuk said.
- ok, sure.
I said.
- not you, him.
He said, and pointed to hongseok.
- ouch.
Hongseok said, and smirked at me.
- whatever.

•Hongseok's POV•

After Yerin left the room, I felt awkward. Was he going to threaten me or something?
- I need you to do something for me.
Yerin's brother said.
- of course, anything.
I said.
I really wanted him to approve of me and accept me as Yerin's boyfriend.

- there's a woman that might approach Yerin. You can't let that happen.
He said.
- who is she?
I asked.
- she's our...mother.
He answered.
Yerin's mother? The same woman that left them both. And they were so young.. she just left them to fend for themselves.
- but.. don't you think Yerin deserves to know she's back?
I asked.
- No. What she deserves, is to be protected from getting hurt. That woman... she'll only leave again.
He answered.
Should I really keep this from Yerin? I guess I had to.
- what do I say when Yerin asks what we talked about?
I asked him.
- just tell her I threatened you.
He answered, and smirked.
- or something that would make her happy. Like, that I called you my brother in law?
He said, and made a weird face.

- ....I'm gonna go with the second one.

AN: sorry if the chapter is a bit short. I'll post another one tomorrow. Or later today.
