"Don't worry. He's just too fatigued. And I think he hasn't been eating or drinking the right amount of water. He still needs to stay one night here, then if all goes well he could already be discharged. If anything happens just call us.", the doctor said.

Gun glanced at sleeping Off after hearing what the doctor said.

Off still looked pale. But it looks like Off needed some sleep. Some deep sleep.

Gun sighed. Fuck. He doesn't want to know why he suddenly saw Off like this. But one possibility was fucking with Gun's mind--- that it was because of him.

Well come to think of it, Gun didn't see Off for two days. And that started the day he harshly rejected Off.

"Gun? Are you sure you'll be fine looking over Off? You also don't look okay-- I mean, your l-lips..", Tay asked, pointing at his lips. His red swollen lips.

Gun smiled. "Yeah, Tay. I'm fine. Don't mind me."

"A-Alright then..", Tay responded and looked back at peacefully sleeping Off. He sighed. "Damn, I was about to tell him New and I started dating but I already found him on the verge of unconsciousness."

Gun still had his eyes on Off. "Yeah- wait!", he bursted out and looked at Tay with widened eyes and parted mouth. "New and you are what?!"

Tay was taken aback. Perhaps because Gun shouted all of a sudden.

"N-New didn't t-tell you??", the words escaped Tay's mouth softly, as if he's scared of the shorter. Well yeah, Gun still had that dont-mess-with-me-or-make-me-angry aura lurking around his presence.

Gun paused and stared into empty space. He tried his best to think about everything.

He then remembered the tone of New's voice on call earlier. He seemed excited like he just won a lottery. Tay was the lottery. Yeah that must be it.

Gun finally smiled. A smirk playing on his lips as he looked at Tay. Tay blinked for a few times in a bit of nervousness seeing that smirk.

The shorter snickered. "Tss! Don't you dare hurt my friend..", he threathened the other.

Tay nervously and awkwardly chuckled before he scratched his head. "I think it's the other way around..", he whispered, reminiscing that time when New left him without telling him. Oh well, they were only mere innocent children back then. They couldn't know any better.

Gun tilted his head in confusion, he heard what Tay mumbled. He intended to ask but he didn't. If ever, he'll want to hear it coming out from New's mouth.

Gun chuckled, which made Tay to do so, too. Gun's were genuine and real, meanwhilst Tay's-- it wasn't actually a fake one, it was an awkward and nervous one, but then it lead to a real one afterwards.

But then they stopped when they heard a small groan, they immediately looked at Off and was shocked to see his brows arched in annoyance, his lips pursed in irritation, but his eyes still closed. "S-Shut up..", he said as he shifted a bit.

The patient was half-asleep. His deep peaceful sleep must have been postponed because of two other people talking and chuckling right beside him.

Gun and Tay's lips formed into a smile, they covered their mouths with their hands the moment they had the urge to laugh. Gun smiled and sighed, looking at Off, who was fastly deep into dreamland once again. 'Thank God you're okay..'

Off felt himself slowly waking up, consciousness suddenly making him jerk awake. Although he still doesn't have the energy to talk or do something. He felt as if these past few days has been the most exhausting and tiring days in his entire life-- emotionally, mentally, and physically. The best he can do is flutter his eyes open and move his fingers a bit.
