Rhys knew deep down that he was gonna die. No, not now, not any time soon - but he would a lot sooner than he should.

It was because of the Hanahaki Disease. You fall in love, flowers bloom in your lungs and you cough them up until you confess. If you confess, it goes away, whether they love you back or not. If you don't, the flowers basically choke you to death. Plain and simple, right?

Well, yeah, sure - until you factor in Rhys's problem. He can't confess his love for risk of losing his job, or even worse, his job, his dignity and his life.

After all, who in their right mind could admit their love to Handsome Jack and live, metaphorically or otherwise?

The Withering of Inflorescence || Junhui × Joshua

1 part Complete Mature

hanahaki / hän.ä.hä.kî / a rare disease caused due to the feeling of unrequited love. In most cases the diagnosed is known to experience excessive coughing sessions and throwing out flower petals of their beloved's favourite kind of flower accompanied by some blood and/or mucus. Some other symptoms might include chest pains, shortage of breaths and fainting. Methods of treatment and cure are yet to be discovered. Surprisingly, Wen Junhui of Seventeen is rumoured to be diagnosed with the disease and not so surprisingly, the rumours are true. Junhui does indeed cough up the blue primrose petals from time to time, Joshua's favourite kind. They suddenly stop by the time he had started coughing up the individual petals of 3-4 Primroses. Junhui is happy, with himself and his beloved who seems inclined to stay by his side. One unfortunate night and they are back again. Way more vigilant in their stance this time. Will he survive it this time as well?? TW: angst, character death (if you want to put it that way)
