The morning after the night before:

Myungsoo opens his eyes to the welcoming sight of Woohyun lying next to him. His delicate eyes are resting, and his nose twitches as he sleeps. His hair is ruffled from the touch of Myungsoo's hands, and his lips are moist. Myungsoo can't help but smile. He gently sweeps Woohyun's hair away from his eyes, and slowly sits up; his body still aching from the accident. He sharply exhales due to the pain, clenching his sutures from the surgeries which haven't healed yet. He rests for a minute, and pushes himself away from the bed and towards his crutches. He grabs his crutches and slowly hobbles towards the kitchen.

Myungsoo knows Woohyun's favourite food is Tuna Sushi. Myungsoo begins to make this dish to surprise Woohyun when he wakes. However, doing this whilst recovering from several major surgeries isn't easily done alone. He keeps dropping utensils and losing his balance. The noise he is making becomes increasingly louder, until he feels a warm embrace curl around his hips and a kiss warms Myungsoo's neck. A smile is instantly painted across his face, and a giggle embraces his eardrums.

'You are supposed to be asleep!'Myungsoo giggles. Woohyun chuckles and buries his head into Myungsoo's neck; his arms still wrapped around his waist. 'And you...' He releases his grip and removes the utensils from Myungsoo's hand. Woohyun continues. 'Are supposed to be resting!' Myungsoo hands his head in shame, and gives Woohyun a gentle gaze with his puppy dog eyes. 'I know...' he mumbles; a little smiley pout is visible with a little quiver in his voice. 'But I wanted to surprise you! You have done so much for me the past few weeks, and I hate being a nuisance and not being able to help!' Myungsoo releases Woohyun from his longing gaze, and moves his eyes down to the floor. A tear trickles down his face. Woohyun instantly notices.

'Hey!' Woohyun begins. He places Myungsoo's head in his hands, and brings his head up to face Woohyun. The eye contact resumes. 'You could never be, and will never be a burden to me. You put your life at risk to save mine! And it's now time for me to do something for you! I mean, I can't exactly save you like you saved me...' Myungsoo lets out a little chuckle behind the tears. Woohyun smiles at hearing Myungsoo's chuckle. 'But what I can do is be there for you whenever you need me. And I promise I will be. From now on... no matter what! This is why I moved in with you! To help you out and so I can be here for you! Always!  I am so thankful I have you.. and I could never lose you.' Myungsoo is in awe of what Woohyun has just said to him. 'I...' Myungsoo's tears have now turned to happiness.. and he holds Woohyun in his arms... and the moment is perfect. A few minutes later, they release their embrace. 'Right, lets get you ready for the day!' Woohyun says and they head into their room to prepare for their day.

Woohyun is brushing Myungsoo's soft hair when he receives a phone call. Woohyun stares down at his phone, his loving stare turned to a cold gaze. He freezes. Myungsoo peers over at Woohyun's phone, intrigued. Myungsoo notices the caller I.D. 'Kim Sunggyu?' Myungsoo says. 'Who is that? You aren't cheating on me already are you?' Myungsoo says with a giggle. This phrase returns Woohyun back to reality. Myungsoo notices his worry. 'Hey, are you okay?' Myungsoo says with concern. He turns around and puts his hand on Woohyun's shoulder. Woohyun quickly glances at Myungsoo and backs away. Myungsoo's hand drops to his knees. 'Yeah. Yeah, i'm fine.' He declines the call, turns his phone to vibrate and throws his phone into his pocket as quickly as possible. Many thoughts are running around his mind all at once. He takes a second to process what has just happened, and continues with Myungsoo's hair, his hands shaking, and his breath quick but quiet. He can feel his phone vibrate in his pocket several times. Woohyun pulls his phone out once again, with several missed called from this 'Sunggyu' character, who Myungsoo was still intrigued about.

He knew the truth would come out one day... and he was dreading that day.. and has been since Day One.

A couple of hours later, Myungsoo is sat watching the TV. Woohyun is leaving for work. He works for a newspaper. Woohyun kisses Myungsoo's forehead as he heads for the door. Myungsoo calls to Woohyun. Woohyun comes to a quick halt and turns around to face Myungsoo. 'Chicken for tea?' Myungsoo smiles thinking about eating his favourite food with his favourite person. Woohyun hesitates for a second. His phone still vibrating in his pocket. He quickly pulls his phone out to see the messages Sunggyu has sent him.

He puts his phone back in his pocket, and turns back to Myungsoo

He puts his phone back in his pocket, and turns back to Myungsoo. He thinks and then replies. 'Actually.. I might be a little bit late tonight. Just take it easy for today, and I will see you tonight. Movie night though for sure!' Woohyun giggles nervously and leaves the house in a hurry. Myungsoo is left dazed and curious about why Woohyun was acting this way. A frown is painted on his face and he slouches in the chair. Something wasn't right.. and he was determined to find out what.. one way or another.
