You're Mine / ROCHAN

10 Minutes

Weeks passed and Rowoon is still pretty much spacing out after what happened during their 2 day vacation.

He is losing sleep to the point that he started to get sick. He is missing a lot of group practices because his immune system is failing him for drinking too much every night. 

While he was staring blankly at the walls of the room, his phone rang

"Where are you baby?" Hyeyoon asked 

"Dorm" the taller male answered coldly causing Hyeyoon to be worried

"Are you sick? You have practice today right?" she asked, voice laced with confusion

"I'm fine. Just want to rest" Rowoon whispered, looking down at his hands and ended the call

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was around 11pm and it suddenly began to rain so hard. 

Youngbin is drinking alone in the living room until Rowoon decided to join him

"Here" the older male handed the younger a drink

"I'm really sorry for last time" Rowoon stated. "Emotions just got in the way. I didn't mean to ruin the fun" 

Youngbin placed his drink on the table and let out a deep sigh "You know you can always talk to me right?" he smiled "Will you tell me or i'll just guess it?" 

Rowoon let out a sigh before answering "There's a lot on my mind at the moment and its hard to handle all of it" he admitted

"Is this about Chani?" he started "But you have Hyeyoon right?"

The taller's expression started to become a lot more dark after hearing the question

"I guess this is how it usually works" Rowoon said, shutting his eyes. "Love intensifies when the person is gone"

Youngbin looked at him "Rowoon, Chani loved you even on your bad days, yet you chose her over him" he sighed and took a sip of his drink 

Rowoon looked at him with sad eyes "I can't let him go hyung" tears started flowing into his eyes as he uttered

"Listen, you know, there are people that looked like they'll last forever so you take them for granted" the older said giving the boy a light squeeze

The taller ran his hands through his hair before speaking as he is constantly losing himself after losing the person he loves the most because of his own stupidity. 

"What if i dont get it? Hyung, its hard"

"I don't get your point too. You already have someone. You left Chani. You abandoned him" Youngbin looked at Rowoon with upset eyes. "Rowoon, have you forgotten that you're the one who walked away? You saw how Chani begged for you to stay, but what did you do?" he added, sounding a bit stern "You chose that girl over someone who stayed with you all these years"

The older had enough of Rowoon's selfishness and decided to leave the living room quickly 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dawon and Inseong went out for dinner. Chani and Rowoon was left all alone in their shared bedroom

The younger glanced at Rowoon who is sleeping with his blanket warpped around his body. 

"What if some endings don't get a new start?" he thought to himself while staring at Rowoon who is in deep sleep 

He quickly turned his eyes away and went back into playing his favorite game while waiting for Dawon and Inseong. 

After a few moments, he heard loud shivers that is coming from Rowoon's direction. He looked at the older and there he saw him heavily breathing

Chani immediately went near Rowoon and tapped him on his shoulders, trying to wake him up

"Rowoon, are you okay?" he asked nervously.

He placed his hand near Rowoon's forehead and he noticed that he is burning up.

"Rowoon! Rowoon you're sick. Wake up" he worriedly ordered 

"Ch-Chani" the older's voice came out in a shaky tone. It is obvious that he has no energy at all which made Chani ran over to the kitchen and grab a towel and lukewarm water

When Chani came back he saw that Rowoon is still wrapped in his thick blanket

"Remove it" he said while trying to take it off Rowoon's body

"Its--its cold"- he uttered 

Chani then decided to take advantage of Rowoon's weak self and took his blanket away from his body.

He rolled up the older's sleeves to have better access into his arms as he started wiping it using the towel

"You'll get sick, Chani" Rowoon said trying to go farther away from Chani 

"Then what do you want me to do?" Chani asked "You want me to leave here? Rowoon you're sick" he added

"Chani, please. You'll get sick. I'll be okay" he repeated causing Chani to tighten his grip into the taller's arms

"Fuck that! Let's get sick together" he shouted

After he finished wiping Rowoon's body with lukewarm water. The taller's fever started to subside. 

"I love you so much I stopped asking myself what's with her. Instead, i began assking myself what's wrong and what's missing in me to deserve this?" he thought to himself while staring lovingly at Rowoon who went back to sleep "You intentionally wanted what was happening. You might love me like how you say it the other day, but you also love her" 

Before his tears started to fall, he decided to stand up but Rowoon immediately grabbed his wrist and pulled him onto the bed. The taller hugged Chani as tight as possible

"Wh-what are you doing?" Chani tried to escape from Rowoon's arms but failed

"10 minutes" he said "Let's just stay like this for 10 minutes" Rowoon smiled as he stared into Chani's loving eyes 

Chani can feel the sudden awkwardness and so he averted his eyes from the taller

"Chani" he whispered causing the younger to turn back his eyes. 

"I love you"  

He closed his eyes and inched closer to Chani's face and connected their lips into a loving kiss
