Focus On Me | Yugbum

Dreamin'

I slowly opened my eyes, squinting and looking around. I winced and remembered the events of the previous day, grimacing. I didn't recognize the room I was in for a moment before everything clicked when I saw the blue bedspread. I was in JaeJae hyung's room, in his bed, too! I felt horrible, but as I tried to sit up, I cried out in pain and laid back down, tearing up. I closed my eyes for just a moment as I heard a set of footsteps rushing up the stairs and bursting into the room. I involuntarily let out a whine as the footsteps approached my bed and a hand ran through my hair soothingly. My eyes fluttered open and I looked up to see Jaebum hyung smiling at me. My heart fluttered and I blushed a bit, hoping he wouldn't notice.

"Are you feeling alright, Prince Yuggie?" He asked in a very soft tone.

"I-I think so, but my t-tummy still hurts.." I pouted at him and he just chuckled. He pulled out a few things and I couldn't quite identify them, but they must have been something to help dress my cuts because of the question he asked next.

"Can I take your shirt off?" I blushed darkly and felt embarrassed. This must have meant he had seen my chest and tummy multiple times and I hadn't even realized, but I still found myself shyly nodding. He very slowly and gently helped me out of my shirt and I started to take in the damage across my body. My eyes welled up with tears as I felt disappointment in myself for never fighting back.

"C-Can I have a mirror?" I asked, wanting to see the rest of my top half. He complied and handed me a small mirror. While I looked at the cuts along my collarbone and neck, he started to redress the cut on my tummy. When I looked close enough, I noticed a bruise formed around my throat that was in a similar shape as a hand. I reached up to touch it and let out a whimper, hissing at the pain that was on my tummy as he cleaned it up.

"I'm sorry, Prince Yuggie. It will hurt for a second, but I promise it will numb the pain, okay?" I nodded slowly and whined as he finished cleaning it and redressing it. As he had promised, the pain started to subside after a short time. He cleaned up the rest of my cuts and then put everything away. I watched all of his movements closely, not realizing I was smiling and staring. He cleared his throat and I was broken out of my trance, suddenly realizing he caught me and blushing darkly.

"A-Ah, s-sorry, Bummie hyung.." I looked away shyly and I just heard him chuckle. He ruffled my hair and stood up, drawing a whine out of my mouth without warning. Both of us froze, confused as to what just happened. I had whined without even trying to and it looked like he was unsure if he had heard me correctly.

"Prince Yuggie." To my surprise, he practically cooed at me and intertwined our fingers. I was caught off guard and I flushed red, looking away. Suddenly, I gasped as I felt a pair of lips against my cheek, but just as quick as they were there, they were gone. I quickly turned my head to look at a grinning Jaebum hyung, confused by his actions. I thought JaeJae hyung said he already liked someone. Maybe he was just being nice or friendly. Either way, I felt tingly and my heart was beating really fast.

"I-I.." I started to speak, but the words just fell off my lips. He laughed and shook his head.

"You don't have to say anything." He said, stroking the back of my hand with his thumb. I just nodded and sighed contently, smiling at having contact with him.

"Where is JaeJae hyung?" I asked, a bit confused as to where I am and why it was just Jaebum hyung and me.

"He went to school. We made sure the principal knew that you were staying home a few days because you are sick." I nodded and pouted a bit, feeling bad that I would miss out on the last few days of school before graduation.

"Oh, but I will miss all my friends.." I said, hoping Jaebum hyung would believe my lie. He tsked and shook his head.

"Youngjae already told us that you don't have any other friends. Plus, we don't want that BamBam kid around you when you are in this state." I huffed and pouted, a little peeved that I didn't work my way out of it. I felt slightly relieved that he wouldn't budge on the decision, especially because it meant I get more time with him.
