SEVENTEEN

Chapter 6

Chapter 6

The day that Jeonghan got out of the hospital was one of the best days in his life. He was so happy to get out of there. He hated being in the hospital, he never liked them. He couldn't tell you why though, ever since he was a child he's always had an inversion to them. Hospitals gave him the creeps, and they spiked his anxiety levels up into the stratosphere. Though everyone finds it ironic that he ended going out with a med-student. He loves Joshua very much, he loves him as much as he loves Seungcheol, but even though he works at the hospital he still avoids it like the plague. He can't help it. Whenever the two of them had talked him into going to see a therapist that worked at the hospital that Joshua was friends with they had come to the conclusion that hospitals were one of his triggers. So he did the best that he could to stay far away from him as possible. And he also always made sure to pack lunch for Joshua to make up for it.

He felt light as air as Joshua walked him out of the hospital with all of their stuff, which wasn't a lot since they had left in a hurry. Seungcheol had already left to go and find the car and to bring it back to the front entrance. Jeonghan felt lucky that not only did he get to go home today, Joshua also got today and the next two days off to spend with him and Seungcheol. He was as giddy as a schoolgirl and he wouldn't have it any other way. "I love you." Jeonghan said in the elevator on the way down as he flung himself at Joshua. He caught him with a grunt, and had to use the wall to stabilize them so they wouldn't fall and drop all of their stuff. "I love you too Hannie," Joshua told him. "But don't jump on people, you just got discharged today and we don't want you to over exert yourself and end up right back in that bed, I'm not afraid to do it." Jeonghan just rolled his eyes. He knew that he wasn't supposed to overdo it, and that Joshua was just worried about him, but he didn't get it. He's free! He can finally go home to a place where he felt completely and utterly safe and be surrounded by 12 people that he completely trusted with his life. Just being in the elevator going down was doing wonders for his anxiety, and he hated elevators with a passion too, so that said something.

When they finally made it down to the car where Seungcheol was waiting for them, Jeonghan couldn't be more joyful. He would have ran and jumped into his other lover's arms if it hadn't been for the fact that Joshua had figured out what he was up to and stop him. He rolled his eyes and stuck his tongue out at him like a child, and just went and hugged Seungcheol instead. Seungcheol laughed at his two lovers' antics like it was a normal occurrence, which it was, and went to go start loading things into the trunk of the car. While he did that, Joshua was tasked with getting Jeonghan into the car. Which took longer than necessary since Jeonghan was insistent that he didn't need any help, and that he wasn't a child. "Well, if you're not a child you better stop acting like one and get your ass in the car." Is what Joshua told him as an rebuttal. Jeonghan looked shocked for a moment, but then his shocked expression turned into his usual evil smirk, and Joshua knew he was screwed from then on. Jeonghan willingly got into the front seat like Joshua wanted him too, and didn't say anything the whole way home. When they pulled up to the front of their apartment building and Joshua was getting Jeonghan out of the car so that Seungcheol could go and park the car. As Joshua was closing the door to the front seat he heard Seungcheol yell "Good luck Babe, you're screwed!" Joshua rolled his eyes and gave him the finger as he went to help Jeonghan into the apartment. It was good to be home Jeonghan thought as they walked through the front door.

Life in the apartment went back to normal pretty fast not that long after Jeonghan walked back in through that front door. When he had first come back from the hospital the rest of the members had decided to throw him a surprise welcome home party, and they didn't tell Seungcheol or Joshua either to make sure that it stayed that way. And they waited until the very last minute to tell Seokmin since he couldn't keep a secret and he was the easiest for Jeonghan to crack open like a nut. The rest of the members had gone all out for it too. Seungkwan had roped Hansol, and Jun into helping decorate the whole apartment with streamers. He had convinced Minghao to make a 'Welcome Home' banner, since he was a very good artist. Mingyu had roped Wonwoo and Chan into helping him cook. And Hoshi was in charge of getting Jihoon out of his studio, while keeping Seokmin from spilling the beans about the whole thing.
