Stockholm Syndrome (COMPLETED)

Missing piece

When Hyuk woke up, he sees white ceiling which blinded his eyes that were used to darkness for a long time. All those times that he stayed laying with his eyes close, his hearing kept him conscious. Maybe his body is too worn out to even move his finger to make a response to his boyfriend but he can hear everything. All the sweet and loving words of Hongbin, conversations between him, Ken and Ravi, and the cries that were from frustration of his coma state. How he wanted to caress Hongbin's face and wipe his tears, apologize for doing that stupid decision that he did.

When he got use to the brightness of the room, he immediately turned to the person whose head is on the side of the bed, ducked under his very own hand. He thought, the other might've put it like that to make himself a little more hopeful for his boyfriend to wake up and play with his hair to wake him up. He smiled and like how it should be, he started playing with the soft locks.

Hongbin's breathing becomes louder and his eyes opened slowly. He looked around and settled them on the pair of orbs that are staring back at him. It took him few seconds before his eyes watered and it made Hyuk laugh.

"Ahaha. Why'd you have to just cry there? Come on, give me a hug, babe." He sat up and before he can do it properly, he was wrapped around two strong arms. Hongbin's cries become louder but are stiffled by his face hiding on the younger's chest. "Aww. Don't cry."

"I-I'm sorry, Hyuggie...for being a mediocre boyfriend." Hyuk furrowed his brows as he pushed his boyfriend slightly away and stared at him. The other kept his head bowed which shows how sincere he was when he said those words. Hyuk felt guilty all of a sudden.

"Hey. Don't say that." he said.

"No. I know it's my fault. I should really feel guilty because I thought just because we fell for each other means all the wounds and pain that you are bearing will vanish just like that. I didn't give more time to give you the love and help that you need and it leads you to this. I wasn't enough for you to trust because I didn't do anything to deserve it."

Hyuk held him tightly on hsi shoulders and stared intently to his wet swollen eyes. "Hongbin. Listen." Upon hearing the other mentioning his name which is rare, he looked back. "I'm the sorry one. It's not that you're not enough and I don't trust you. I didn't tell you that I'm still...depressed because I love you. I'm scared that we are just beggining with our relationship and I'm giving you something to worry about. I want us to start smoothly. You cared for me all my life. The very moment that you adopted me is when I fell for you and when you start making me feel special and loved. You never get wrong. It's me. I'm weak and let myself be drag back to my forgoten past life....I-I....I thought I wasted all the effort and time you took to fix me as I immediately turned back to the old me just like that. I thought....I am a burden to you and that it's better if you live without me. I'm sorry."

It is now Hyuk who is crying. Hongbin frowned as he pulled he other on a hug again. His hands automatically came to soothe hsi back to bring more comfort to him. "Yes, you really are sorry because you are wrong and you made me worry so much that I even been on the edge of believing that you won't leave me. You are wrong because I never get tired of fixing you and never will. This is why I'm here with you. I'll do whatever it takes to show you how to get up and keep on with life. I'm always here, Hyuk so don't ever doubt me. I love you."

Hyuk cupped his cheeks and smiled. "I love you too." After that, he pressed their lips together and kissed him, showing how much he missed him. As they were too caught up with their emotion, Hongbin pushed the other to lean on his back to the backrest and his hand that is suppose to go to his hair accidentally pressed the button to call for nurses. Still, it didn't disturbe them until the door flung open with Ken and nurses hurying inside. The two stopped and looked at them confusedly and embarrassed.
