"hyun...Jin?", Jisung's voice grew smaller towards the end of Hyunjin's name. After a few days in the hospital, he had completely gave up the idea of Hyunjin coming to visit him. So, he didn't know whether he was hallucinating or Hyunjin got the wrong room.

Jisung held his breath, his eyes looking at the door behind Hyunjin wondering why was Kevin taking it so long just to get a glass of water.

He should be glad Hyunjin came to visit but just like the feeling he had with his father a few hours ago, he felt scared being alone with Hyunjin. He could act all tough before because there was someone other than Hyunjin with him but he was completely alone right now.

"What are you doing here?", He braven himself to ask Hyunjin. The silence was slowly getting to him and he didn't want to drag it anymore.

When Hyunjin said nothing, his eyes travelled to the piece of clothes in Hyunjin's fist. He looked up back to Hyunjin who awkwardly took his hand and putting his hoodie on Jisung's palm.

Jisung tilted his head, his brows knitted as he narrowed his eyes at Hyunjin. Hyunjin still said nothing and pointed at the window. "It's raining", he finally spoken. Jisung's frown deepened. It was raining and what about it?

"I'm scared the hospital outfit is thin.", Jisung shook his head, his eyes still narrowed as he still couldn't comprehend what Hyunjin was trying to tell him. He looked at the hoodie and at Hyunjin, "did you really come all the way here just to tell me that?"

"No! I mean...wear that! Since it's going to be cold for you!", Jisung gapped his mouth and scoffed, he dropped the hoodie on his lap. "So, you come all the way here just to tell me to wear this so I don't get cold?"

Hyunjin opened his mouth to say something but Jisung beat him to it, "Why did you come here now?! Throughout this week you didn't even call me but suddenly you come here today and tell me to wear this?!", Jisung sounded even angrier than he had expected himself to sound to be.

"The hoodie..."

He grabbed the hoodie and shoved it to the air, waving it around "what?! Just why is this hoodie so important right now?! If you're so obsessed with it, just take it back!!"

Hyunjin sat down next to Jisung who was yelling at him. He didn't really care if Jisung ended up punching him or something. He really deserved it. "I didn't come because I know you don't want to see me"

"What kind of bullshit is that even?!", How could Hyunjin say he didn't want to see Hyunjin when every single day he kept thinking about him? He had never had to worry about Hyunjin before because he was always with him but now? Even seeing his nose was so difficult. It wasn't like he was some kind of celebrity or something. When he asked Seungmin if he saw Hyunjin, Seungmin told him Hyunjin didn't come to practice. When he asked Jeongin to find Hyunjin, the younger told him Hyunjin ran away. He did plan to avoid Hyunjin after what he heard but the feeling of regret was still there. He wanted to talk...but why was Hyunjin always making his blood boil like this?

"Do you know how frustrating you are?", He asked Hyunjin. "Why do you have to like the same girl as I did?", Hyunjin snapped his head up.

"I'm fine with that but...I know I was being childish at first. I was going to apologize to you but...do you have to tell her that you would throw me away?", Hyunjin's eyes welled up with tears. So, Jisung did hear him after all. "It's not like I'm a thing or trash you could just throw away!"

"And there's also this stupid accident! I can't even finish the game!", Jisung started crying. Hyunjin flinched, "why are you crying? There's always next time", Jisung threw the hoodie at Hyunjin. "What next time?! Don't say like you're the one being held in the hospital!"

Jisung wiped his tears away, "why are you such a pain?!"

"I liked her first", Hyunjin was starting to get irritated. Jisung kept going back from another topic to another but can you blame him? He had a lot of pent up anger. He didn't know which one to start with and Hyunjin just triggered all his thoughts.

"It doesn't even matter!", Hyunjin didn't want to hear about Na-Eun anymore. Jisung licked his dry lips, pushing his hair back, "did you think I would choose her over you?"

"What-", Jisung stared into Hyunjin's eyes. "Did you think I would choose her over you? That's why you told her that? You're afraid I would betray you first so you did it before I did?!", He couldn't say it calmly. His thought just came out pouring. This was the result of his overthinking for the past few days. "Never!" He wouldn't have done that. He would never betray Hyunjin.

Hyunjin sighed, "Fine", he didn't know how Jisung came up with these nonsense.

Jisung nodded, it would be better to stop talking now before it become a bigger fight. "Good, I'm done-"

"I... won't even choose you since the very beginning" Jisung's heart felt like breaking. "Ah, really?", He was taken by surprise. He hadn't really expect Hyunjin to say it.

Hyunjin didn't mean what he said. He really didn't but he was angry. He was angry at Jisung because Jisung didn't let him talk. He could've said something better than that but his idiotic mouth just ran and he couldn't take back what he said.

Jisung refused to back down. "So, what if you didn't choose me?"

"If you choose Na-Eun. I can also do that!", Hyunjin gritted his teeth, Jisung kept talking about Na-Eun. Couldn't he see this wasn't about her anymore?!

"Why?", Hyunjin asked. Why must he only see Na-Eun?

"Why? Won't you give up?!"

"I liked her first!", Hyunjin shut his eyes and snapped. "I liked you first!" The single moment Hyunjin opened his eyes and looked into Jisung's, the Jisung who was previously fuming with anger, shrunk. Did he just hear Hyunjin right?  "What?!"

"Why is it always her?! Why do you only see her? Am I that invincible to you for these 8 years?!", Hyunjin was angry, angry to the point he didn't calculate what he was going to say anymore.

"What are you trying to say?", Hyunjin groaned in frustration. He grabbed Jisung's shoulder. "I, For the past 8 years have loved you! Can't you see that?! Are you that dumb?!"

—Hic!

Jisung started hiccuping, his cheeks turning rosy before he even realized it. " Then...what about Na-Eun? She's daring you..."

"I'm not"

"But I saw you...",  Hyunjin glared at him.

"I'm not", Jisung pushed Hyunjin away. "I don't get it"

"I love you", Hyunjin said, deadpan.

Jisung pulled his blanket. "I know but I don't get it...why did you go after Na-Eun then.."

"I liked her", Jisung narrowed his eyes. "Then?"

"But I love you", Hyunjin sighed. This was getting nowhere. Jisung was getting more and more confused. This was much sadder than getting rejected. The person he loved didn't understand what he was saying at all.

He stood up, " I will come again tommorrow when you leave", he put the hoodie over Jisung's shoulder, "so, keep this for me." It was better to let Jisung think on his own while he go to get her his own thoughts too.

"Bye"

Jisung blinked confusedly as he waved back.

"What in the world just happened?", Jisung held his forehead, he was just telling and screaming at Hyunjin a few minutes ago but Hyunjin was able to put down his fire just like that.

He pointed at himself. "He loves me?!"
