miracles do happen.

they happen in different forms all the time.

passing the test you thought you would fail.

winning the lottery; even if it was only a small sum of money.

for seonghwa, his miracle came in the form of a male by the name of kang yeosang. a person who meant the entire world to him. 

even after going through so much pain, still managed to smile everyday. making the older's heart flutter every time.

the two were still sat together in the room of the hospital. seonghwa's eyes glassy. he couldn't believe it.

the one person he loved more than any other in the world was back. 

the two held hands, comforting each other without speaking. communicating with their eyes. both faces held smiles, loving smiles. 

as much as they wanted the moment to last, there was a quick knock on the door. followed by the entrance of dr. rowoon. 

"I have some news about what caused these events." he began, yeosang tightening his grip on his boyfriends hand. 

"essentially what happened was, the area in your brain that controls your consciousness is slightly damaged which we didn't notice entirely the first time we ran tests. what this means is that when it is exposed to a higher level of blood it may malfunction, so anything that can raise your heart rate may have caused that area of your brain to stop functioning properly."

the two males looked at the doctor, neither of them knew what would have increased the blood flow. until they realised, both their cheeks turning red.

"did you happen to do anything that may have raised your blood flow in the past few days?" rowoon asked intently, looking towards the two blush-faced males.

"we had sex..." yeosang spoke quietly, his face becoming more red.

he spoke so quietly that rowoon almost didnt hear him, but he caught it nodding acknowledging it.

"it would be best not to do anything that raises your heart rate for a few weeks. spend time in bed, rest. we'll make an appointment for you to come back for more tests, but apart from that you should be able to leave in a day or two. we just need to monitor everything before we release you."

rowoon smiled towards the pair. watching as they nodded, then walking out of the room.

the second the door closed yeosang burst into tears. seonghwa turning to him, holding him in his arms.

"I'm so scared."

"its okay," seonghwa reassured, "you're okay."

"but what if I'm not?" yeosang questioned, more to himself that to the other. "what if something else happens that's much worse than this?"

seonghwa kissed the top of his boyfriends head, keeping him in his arms. "anything that can happen will happen." he began, "but even if anything happens, I won't let it take you. I want to keep you by my side forever. if you promised to stay by my side, then I promise to stay by yours. forever and always, okay? I'm always here with you. nothing will happen."

"hello!" a small dark haired boy waved towards another stood infront of him.

"hello." the other male was smaller than him, having a cute birthmark next to his eye.

"would you like to be friends?" the taller boy asked, more confident it seemed. he had noticed the boy was new to the school, and the area. so he assumed that he didn't know anyone yet.
