Heee. I'm here with another update. Look at the numbers of subscribers! Guys, thanks! Really a bunch of kisses and thanks! and apart from updating this story, I'm actually trying (I repeat: trying) mybest to update another story of mine (if you guys noticed: It has been a while since I updated that one) and I keep deleting everything that I wrote. Grrhh. Maybe because there's lack of Gyu nowadays... or maybe my brain just plainly blocked! Hahaha. Whatever. Here's the next chapter. I love you guys! (& Gyu, of course!!) ^^

They spent the whole day at the aquarium, and that was even stopped by Myungsoo, claiming that he was feeling extremely famish and tired from the whole event. Sunggyu and Sungyeol both follow, feeling frustrated because they couldn't even manage to finish playing everything, apart from the main aquarium. Myungsoo took a lot of pictures of them together, playing catch with the seal and dolphin, keeping every single bits of memories he could hold inside his huge camera. Myungsoo brought both Sunggyu and Sungyeol, checked-in at the Lotte Hotel, which situated around 20 minutes from the aquarium. He also manage to booked another room nearby Sunggyu's for Woohyun, of course secretly. Even Sunggyu doesn't know that Woohyun is coming and joining them for dinner until Myungsoo brought both of them to wait for Woohyun who has arrived at the Busan Airport.

Sunggyu is slurping on his Mocha Praline while Sungyeol is munching the thick cookies that Myungsoo bought from Starbucks. They haven't been eating anything for the whole day and Sunggyu need to consume something for his medicine, making Myungsoo run around the airport looking for a decent place for them to snack. He keep looking on his watch, while his eyes keep wandering around the airport, trying to locate the doctor's silhouette. He has notify the doctor that they will be waiting at the Starbucks on the second level of the huge airport, getting an 'OK' as a reply from Woohyun. After 20 minutes of waiting, Sunggyu suddenly stand up from his place, signing Myungsoo that he need to use the toilet, making Myungsoo stood with him together to follow him. Sunggyu just patted his shoulder, giving his younger brother a small smile while shaking his head.

"No, it's fine. You don't have to keep following me all the time, you know…" He said before walking through the crowd and making a turn toward the toilet, following the signage. The toilet was quite far for Sunggyu, but his bladder has been screaming for release and Sunggyu didn't think it's reasonable for him to wait until they reached their hotel for the toilet later. He almost run when his eyes catches the sign, and push one of the stall open fast, forgetting to lock it and just continue with his business. He sighed deeply, feeling refresh after cleaning himself down. Sunggyu was trying to zip his jeans up when suddenly the stall that he is using was opened with a loud thud, making him flinch in fear.

"What the—get out, freak!" His mouth speaks faster before his mind could register the handsome man who looked equally shocked in front of him. Woohyun gaps in embarrassment before he blink his eyes rapidly, feeling tremendously awkward.

"Move!" He was caught out in his stance when Sunggyu suddenly screamed at his face. Woohyun rubbed his nape absently, with a sheepish smile on his face.

"Sorry, hyung, but you didn't locked the door…" Woohyun retorted with a small smile on his face. Sunggyu stop moving before his eyes gazing on the lock and he coughed in shame. He waived for Woohyun to move so that he can get out from the stall and Woohyun just moved aside. Their shoulder brushed each other briskly but it manage to thunder some shock in Woohyun's heart. The spark is still there. Woohyun hold himself from taking Sunggyu and hold him in his arm, and he just smile at Sunggyu who turn away, feeling embarrass.

"Oh, hyung! Wait!" He manage to grab the elder wrist, and Sunggyu turn to him with small scowl, which Woohyun could see as fake on his face.

"That… your jeans… you forgot to… zip it…" He pointed at Sunggyu's fly, and the man face turn red. Sunggyu pull his hand away in Woohyun dismay, and he continue to zip his jeans up, not forgetting to mutter a small thanks to Woohyun who seems still awkward with their encounter today.

"I'll just… go and use… th-this stall then…" Woohyun speak awkwardly and Sunggyu just nodded, before continue to wash his hand. He remember that Myungsoo is still waiting for Woohyun at the coffee shop and Sunggyu couldn't find any reason to just leave Woohyun at the toilet. He waited until the younger finished with his business, and he coughed lightly, catching the doctor attention.

"You're still here, hyung?" Woohyun asked him, face bright and Sunggyu fought those urge to kiss him on the spot.  Sunggyu just nodded.

"I figure that Myungsoo is still waiting for us. Wash your hands and lets go…" He said it, coldly and Woohyun just nodded, not offended with the way Sunggyu is treating him now. He knew, Sunggyu wants to avoid him, Sunggyu just feel the need to avoid him and he still doesn't know that Woohyun knew every single reason on why he was leaving him and avoiding him. Woohyun just need to stick closer and longer for Sunggyu to realizes that he is there and always be there to support him.

Both of them walk side by side in silence until they reached the café, and Woohyun went straight to Myungsoo, hugging him slightly. They just smile and Woohyun's heart immediately went lighter. Sunggyu just shrugged before he grab Myungsoo wrist, demanding him to brought all of them to the dinner in some traditional restaurant he figure on the internet and Myungsoo just smile.

"Hyung! You're making my boyfriend jealous…" He tried to pry Sunggyu grip on his arm away but Sunggyu just ignore him. Sunggyu feels like scolding his brother for inviting Woohyun to their sudden vacation in Busan but he remembers that he just gave the younger approval earlier morning. He turn to glare at Myungsoo who didn't seem to be affected by his motion. While Woohyun just walk leisurely with Sungyeol at the back, both being silent. After Myungsoo and Sunggyu seems quite a distance from them, Sungyeol grab Woohyun wrist, stopping their movement for a while. He gave a certain look toward Woohyun, making Woohyun sighed deeply.

"I'm here because Myungsoo asked me too" He said, giving out his reason and answer toward Sungyeol questioning gaze. Sungyeol frown.

"And I thought I warned you to stay away from him right?" He remind Woohyun on their last arguments on the phone and Woohyun just nodded.

"What do you want me to do? Should I just leave…?" He asked, retorting Sungyeol with a question that both knew the answer. Sungyeol gritted his teeth.

"I don't know how to say this. I don't hate you, Woohyun, but it's just… I just felt that Sunggyu has been doing his best to live alone, without you for the past few months and now… you just come like this… with his condition… aish-!" He stopped, feeling despair. He wanted to explain but he didn't want to spill anything toward Woohyun. Woohyun just shook his head, taking Sungyeol shoulder into his hand. His eye is looking into Sungyeol big one, emitting a certain warmness that make Sungyeol's frown disappear.

"I know everything, Yeol-ah. I know about his sickness. I know what he or Myungsoo or even you are hiding right now. And I understand. I don't want to push anything. I didn't put my hope into coming to the vacation and modify anything. If he didn't want me to know, then I'll have to pretend that I don't know anything and treat him like usual. If he didn't want me in his life, then I'll… just leave…" There's a small sadness lingering in Woohyun's sentences making Sungyeol closed his eyes tightly, thinking about everything that Woohyun's telling him. He didn't even shocked after hearing that Woohyun knew everything. Woohyun is someone who is capable of digging things he wanted to know and Sungyeol didn't even surprised. He look Woohyun back into his eyes. Those eyes only emanating sincere and care toward Sunggyu and he surrender protecting Sunggyu anymore.

"Be responsible. and sensible. Sunggyu is a very… important person to me…" He warned the other doctor and Woohyun just smile in return.

"He's important to me too…" He said before their conversation was interrupt by Myungsoo who is shouting for them to be fast because of a certain hungry hamster. Both of them giving each other another warm look before Sungyeol skipped toward his boyfriend, leaving Woohyun looking like a lost child in the middle of the road. Woohyun just chuckled lightly. Everyone is important to me…

After the huge dinner, that Sunggyu claimed he spent half of his annual salary for it, all of them went for a strolled along the Haeunda Beach. It was cold and calming because lack of tourist but all of them liking the calming and fresh feeling. The sun has already setting down and the dark sky, blanketed with a few beautiful start, sparkling in a mesmerizing way reflected by the sea. Sunggyu took a deep refreshing breath before he smile slightly.

"This is really a good escape from all of those stupid hospital things…" He said, whispering to himself but Woohyun was listening to him. Sunggyu voice was clear but he didn't want to retort anything. He puts his shoe aside and take a sit on the sand nearby the beach, while watching Sunggyu walking slowly towards the sea. Sungyeol and Myungsoo has disappear from their peripheral vision but they know, the lovers might need some time together leaving Sunggyu awkwardly strolling with Woohyun.

It was a tiring but a happy day for Sunggyu. It was also a good way for him to release himself from all of those stresses. He still vividly remembers the dreams a few days ago and it feels too real that it bugs Sunggyu a lot. It is getting harder since Woohyun is here with them, and those entire dream was making Sunggyu missing the younger more. Woohyun is here but he is afraid that all of it is not real. What if right now is a dream? What if he'll wake up at the hospital again? What if-

"-yung?! Hyung?!" Sunggyu snapped his head up, brows frowning when he couldn't focus his eyes that was blurred by the tears. Woohyun look panic before he grab Sunggyu shoulder lightly, patting it. He reached his hand to wipe the tears on Sunggyu face, making the elder flustered and trying to look away.

"Why are you crying, hyung?" He asks, slowly, lovingly. The tone was too much that Sunggyu couldn't stop himself from crying more. He shook his head, trying to get away from Woohyun but Woohyun gripped on his shoulder harder.

"Don't cry…" The doctor wrap his arm around the elder, hugging him warmly making Sunggyu feels warmer and safer. The affectionate embraced was making them nostalgic and Sunggyu couldn't help but cry harder. He didn't want to say anything and mentally thankful for the younger that didn't saying anything but just keep hugging him in a warm embrace. Woohyun didn’t know on how to comfort the elder but he could feel that Sunggyu didn’t need those sweet-talking things anymore. He just need someone to stay by his side and to support him when he is breaking down, and Woohyun thought, Sunggyu is a lot more fragile than what he used to be before.

They stay in each other warmness for a few minutes because it took Sunggyu the whole universe power to pull himself out of Woohyun comfortable hug. After feeling a lot calmer, Sunggyu pull his hand, pushing the younger chest slowly, making Woohyun who is patting his back stop moving. He could feel the elder head moving out of his shoulder and Woohyun couldn’t help but putting his hand on the elder’s nape, pushing it slowly back into his shoulder.

“Just hold on, hyung. I’d missed you a lot...” Woohyun said in a shaky breathe, making Sunggyu closed his eyes in appreciation. Sunggyu just nodded, grabbing the doctor’s overcoat closer toward himself, inhaling the sweet but soft perfume of the younger. He doesn’t know why, but he needs this. He needs the hug. He needs the sweet comforting smell of the younger into his system. He needs Woohyun hand on his face, patting his shoulder, lulling him softly. He needs the doctor eyes, looking at him with that strong but warm and full of love gaze. He needs everything from Woohyun to keep him strong. To keep him standing still. But he knew, all of this will needs to stop. Woohyun need to move on without him. And Sunggyu, he just needs to stay strong until his last breath. All of those thoughts was making the lump in Sunggyu’s throat grew larger, and the thought of him leaving the world was making his heart feels like pressing his chest harder. Sunggyu shook his head, closing his eyes at the same time. Trying to clear his mind.

“You okay, hyung?” Woohyun caring voice is asking him, as he feels that Sunggyu has start shivering. Today’s eventful day has start taking its toll on Sunggyu and Woohyun know, they shouldn’t have let Sunggyu stay outdoor for too long. His body is too weak for all of those tiring occasion. Sunggyu just shaking his head. He couldn’t trust his voice and his leg feels weak all of sudden.

“Hyung, I’ll piggy ba
