bloody sweet ; hyungwonho

cough—cough—

hyungwon couldn't contain the feeling in his lungs- the tingling feeling stuck in his throat; the texture of thorns and tree barks rubbing in your mouth. the pain. it was just utterly devastating, the constant pain flowing through his very nerves and tearing him up. however, what comes out from his mouth was quite the contrary. it was flower petals. cherry blossom flower petals, flourishing in pastel pink.

he was miserable. he couldn't believe it either. why him? why him, out of all people would he suffer from hanahaki? with every hard choking cough hyungwon made, petals would start appearing, cascading from his mouth and onto the sink. even though it has only started, it has been an unbearable pain for hyungwon. he had spent the last 10 minutes in the toilet throwing away all the petals that have fallen from his lungs and washing his hands from all the little drops of blood.

he pitied himself. dark circles under his eyes, his angelic voice has become coarse. his movements were slower and he had become more skinny due to the lack of food and energy. what did he do to deserve this? the only explainable reason he could ever think of is,

falling for hoseok.

it has been 3 days since poor hyungwon has been diagnosed with hanahaki and it wasn't getting any better. he hadn't told anyone about the sickness except changkyun, his roommate. he couldn't bring himself to even tell his mother about it and let her worry all the way from gwangju. the last person that hyungwon wants to tell was, of course, hoesok, the boy he loves.

meanwhile,hyungwon is laid on the bed with a book on his hands, hoseok busy playing with his gaming console while shouting and exaggerating everything. every once in a while, hyungwon would sneak a glance at the boy from his book. love. hyungwon had loved everything about hoseok. his smile, his eyes, his voice, his personality and so much more that he could even go on forever.

"nooo!! why is this level so hard?" hoseok shouted as he 'flipped' the controller in frustration. he sighed as he plops down on the bed next to hyungwon. like he always did,hoseok laid his head on hyungwon's thighs and hugged the younger's waist. this got the raven-haired all worked up, his heart beating like a treadmill. his cheeks began to tint a fluorescent pink and the feeling of butterflies fluttered around his stomach. shit shit shit.

"hugging you is the best way of relieving frustration." hoseok smiled widely as he held hyungwon tightly, not planning on letting go anytime. hyungwon wanted this feeling to last forever, however, an uncomfortable feeling started forming in his lungs which then followed by a tingling feeling in the throat. the strong urge to cough was there and there was no way hyungwon was going to let petals show up with hoseok around.

nonetheless, hyungwon let out a stifled choke, immediately covering up his mouth with his hands. "do you have a cold?" the older asks, his head looking up at hyungwon nodding, whereas the younger was actually frantically trying to hide the petals that have fallen out. hoseok shrugged, continuing to hug the other who's around his arms.
