Next to me Pt. 2 (Chansoo)

Chanyeol's POV:

Pain is a shitty thing to wake up to but that is exactly what causes me to struggle and open my eyes. It's harder than it should be but eventually I'm able to open them and I recognize that I am in the hospital.

I try to sit up but the shooting pain in my back and arm, as well as the weight on my legs stops me. Confused, I look down to see the most beautiful angel using me as a pillow.

Kyungsoo has his head in my lap, a death grip on one of my hands, and his other arm is flung over my legs. I instantly smile at the sight as immeasurable amounts of love rush through my veins. Knowing that he is here for me, that he stayed for me, makes my heart race.

Memories of what happened flash through my mind and a sigh of relief escapes me seeing him safe and unharmed. I'll never be able to forget the look of terror on his face when he saw the girl come at him with the knife and I'll never regret stepping in front of him. I'd do the exact same thing many times over if it would keep him safe.

I love him.

A sudden sharp pain causes my body to involuntarily twitch and the movement wakes Kyungsoo. Lifting his head he looks at me and our eyes meet. He freezes.

His black hair is all over the place, most likely from constantly running his fingers through it. His large chestnut eyes are bloodshot and quickly filling with tears. His beautiful lips are red and slightly swollen from repeatedly licking them; an adorable nervous habit of his.

He starts sobbing, chest heaving, loud, uncontrollable sobbing. Since the day I met him I have never seen him like this. My always calm and stoic Kyungsoo has broken.

He stands up and crawls onto the hospital bed with me. I open my arms without any hesitation and he immediately puts his face in my neck and lays on top of me while still being mindful of my injury.

I wrap the arm that doesn't hurt around him and pull him close, whispering calming reassurances in his ear as I run my fingers through his hair.

The pain in my back is screaming but I ignore it and focus on the small man in my arms, who is already starting to calm down.

Still laying on top of me, he pulls away a little so that we are able to look in each others eyes. He takes his hand and starts tracing all the features on my face as if he is trying to memorize them. Causing my heart to flutter with each gentle touch.

"I'm sorry." He whispers.

"You have nothing to be sorry about."

"You're here because of me. You stepped in front of me an-"

I frown. "Of course I stepped in front of you. I'll always step in front of you. I'd die for you." I shift to get a bit closer to him and a sharp pain hits me hard and I'm unable to stop the gasp that comes out of my mouth or the grimace that's now on my face.

Kyungsoo's expression becomes worried. "You're in pain aren't you? Hang on, I'll get the doctor!" He hurriedly gets off the bed and runs out the door.

About five minutes later he is back with a doctor. Kyungsoo stands nervously to the side as the doctor checks me over. Almost immediately the doctor calls for a nurse to bring me more pain medication.

"You are doing much better. We just need to keep you're pain under control and make sure no infection presents itself. Try and rest as much as possible, okay?" By the time the doctor is finished examining me, the nurse is already here with the pain medication. She puts it directly into my IV and I feel it working instantly.

"I'll be back in two hours to check on you and see if you need more medication dear." She says as they both bow and excuse themselves.

I look at Kyungsoo who is looking back at me with a hesitant expression. I just open my uninjured arm as silent invitation for him to join me back on the bed. He smiles and climbs back in, cuddling up to my side once again.
