Hoyeon's POV
Jisung and I chatted in the room for a few minutes before his dinner came in. He looked worriedly at me. "Don't you want to eat?" He asked as his nurse left his hospital room.
"You go first. I'm just gonna wait for Jihoon to get back here." He pouted while pulling his cart towards him. "Aren't you gonna eat with me? Because I was the reason why you scraped your legs?"
I immediately shook my head. "No! Jisung, don't think like that. I literally hung out with you for the day. Besides, you'll be discharged tomorrow." He raised a brow. "Where will I stay?"
"In our apartment." I pursed my lips while his eyes filled with more curiosity. "What do you mean?" I scratched my arm and bit my lip. "We live in the same apartment."
Jisung nodded and pointed at his food. "You sure you're gonna wait for Jihoon hyung?" I nodded and at that moment, the door opened. Jihoon appeared there. "Oh, hyung!" Jisung exclaimed.
He rushed to Jisung and choked him jokingly. "Why didn't you tell me that I left my phone here?!" Jisung just laughed. "How can I call you when I have no phone and yours is here? Why didn't you come back?"
"I was in the middle of class, dum-dum!" I just rolled my eyes at them. I pretended to be sick, too, like Jisung so I can't attend school and instead look over him.
Jihoon looked at me. "By the way, our project would be passed next week. You should start attending classes." I nodded. "I will," I cocked my head to Jisung, meaning by "because he'll be going, too."
He just smirked and tapped Jisung's head. "Would you attend tomorrow or just Monday?" Jihoon asked again. Jisung started looking back at me and Jihoon. "Monday." I said.
"You're not going to school tomorrow?" Jisung asked. I smiled and took out a sticky note and pen I've been bringing all along. I wrote something and folded it. I walked next to Jisung and put it in the pocket of his shirt.
"Read it when I leave, okay?" He just nodded. "By the way, Jaemin and Minnie will be visiting. Well, basically all of our friends," He looked at Jisung. "Are you ready to meet our friends again?"
Jisung smiled. "Yeah." I tapped his cheek. "Eat up. Do you mind Jihoon and I would eat our own dinner downstairs?" I asked. He shook his head. "You two go ahead."
"Are you sure? Aren't you scared to be lonely?" He tapped my hand. "I'll be fine." I smiled and Jihoon and I walked out of the room. He quickly grabbed his phone from the table, making Jisung and I laugh.
"See you later, Sungie." I said and we both left his room.

Jisung's POV
Everytime I see hyung and Hoyeon together, my heart tightens. What's wrong with me? We're all friends.
When I made sure Jihoon hyung and Hoyeon are gone, I quickly took the paper Hoyeon gave me from my shirt pocket. I unfolded it and the words made my heart skip a beat.
You mean a lot to me.. more than anything
I folded it back and returned it back to my pocket.
Who was she in my life? I don't want to assume, but I feel like I was her boyfriend.
My head throbbed. I gripped on it and lied down on the bed. I stayed on that awkward position for a few moments before the pain subsided.
My head hurt.
My heart was beating so fast. I am her lover..
No, I should stop thinking about this. My head ache would get worse. I sighed and started to eat my dinner, trying to erase the thought from my mind.

Hoyeon's POV
Jihoon and I finished buying our dinner so we sat on a table in the middle of the cafeteria. "What did you guys do today?" Jihoon asked as he ate his food. I lied. "Not much. We just chatted."
"Then why are your legs full of band aids?" I stopped munching and looked at him. I sighed and told him the truth. "I was gonna go home after lunch but Jisung said he doesn't want to be alone, so I asked him to sneak out with me--"
I paused halfway when I saw Jihoon smirking so widely. "Couple goals." I just smiled and blushed then continued. "And we successfully did. We went to the nearby playground. There was a fountain so I wished."
Jihoon smiled. "I know what you wished," I looked at him again. "You wished that he would remember us." I nodded. "Then we went to the seesaw and swing. Jisung helped out a kid and after that, we climbed up a tree."
He nodded. "Oh~. That's why you got your wounds." I muttered a 'yup'. We stayed silent for a few seconds before I spoke up. "Uhm, Jihoon.." He raised his brow.
"I feel like I'm gonna cry. Jisung is so cute earlier~," I squealed and his face became blank. "The way he looks at the kid and-and how he smiles, I just can't, oh my God." I covered my face and flailed my feet.
"Ah-! Hey!" Jihoon glared at me because I accidentally hit his leg and pouted. I sent him a piece sign. "Sorry. Ugh, I hate myself." Jihoon just nodded along with me and we finished our dinner.
"Come on, let's go back to Jisung's room." Jihoon said and I nodded. We walked back to his room. When we opened the door, Jisung was just staring at the ceiling.
He looked down on us and sat up straight. His gaze locked with mine and suddenly, there was a small smile on his lips. I immediately turned to Jihoon. "It's official. I'm sleeping here."
His eyes widened. "Wait, wha-" Before he can finish, I looked back at Jisung. "I'm going to sleep here. I'll look after you 'till you get discharged." Jisung nodded. "No problem."
My cheeks blushed a little and I hid a smile. "I'll head back for a few minutes to get some pillows and pajamas." I tapped Jihoon's shoulder and whispered, "Take care of him."
"You know I'll do it for you, Goldilocks." I gave him a smile before leaving the room again. I quickly ran down to the ground floor and called for a cab. I told the driver my address and he dropped me down in Jisung and I's apartment.
I took off my shoes in a hurry and went up to my room. I only took a pair or pajamas, a comfortable peach jacket, my clothes for the next day and of course, a towel. I went to Jisung's room and snatched Sungie and his favorite pillow.
I folded it properly and went back down, wore my shoes, called for a cab again and told it to go back to the hospital. I paid him and ran to Jisung's room histerically, making other people look at me.
I paused right in front of his room and opened it with my elbow. I went inside and I tripped on my own foot. My eyes widened because I let go of my things. What luck do I have, don't I?
Before I can completely touch the ground, someone caught me and slowly laid me down the floor. My legs still hurt from my wounds so I winced in pain a bit. I looked up and my heart started pounding in my chest seeing that it was Jisung.
He ruffled my hair and smiled a little. "Be careful next time, okay?"
