Healing & Love

Hakyeon groaned, turning away from the sunlight that was disturbing him. His eyes squinted open as they adjusted. It took a while for his hazy mind to catch up on everything. Kidnapping….Taekwoon….bullet…. His eyes shot open as he sat up suddenly on the bed. The last thing he remembered was Ravi’s worried voice telling Taekwoon that he was shot before he went unconscious again. Taekwoon was shot! He hurriedly threw of his blankets and was just getting up when his mother’s voice reached him. “Hakyeon-ah! You’re awake! How do you feel? Does it hurt anywhere? God I was so worried aideul-ah!” She rushed to him, tears already making their way down her aged face as she cupped his cheeks and placed a kiss on his forehead. “Eomma…I’m fine, I’m okay.” He smiled reassuringly up at her. “Thank goodness. You were unconscious for two days and we were all so worried…” “Two days?!” Hakyeon’s eyes widened at the comment…. “Yes, After Taekwoon and Ravi returned with you, you were sedated and given nutrition through drips. The doctor said that you were probably too tired and weak to be unconscious for that long.” Hakyeon nodded before asking impatiently, “Taekwoon, he was shot wasn’t he? Where is he? Is he fine?” His mother smiled, nodding. “He is fine aideul-ah…I almost fainted seeing so much blood, but he was the least bothered by it as he was so worried for you. He even refused to go the hospital to be treated but then your father told him that you wouldn’t like to see him like this, so he went. He’s in his room now, doctor has told him not to put any strain so he’s resting.” “Can I go see him?” Hakyeon was relieved Taekwoon was fine, but he needed to meet him himself to finally be at peace. “Of course.”

Taekwoon sulkily had his medicine the maid gave him, bored out of his wits to be locked in the same place for the past two days. He couldn’t train…they won’t even let him go see Hakyeon! So he was sulking…until the door to his bedroom opened and in came the man his heart lurched for. “Hakyeon-ah! You’re up!” The maid was shocked at such a high volume of voice coming out of master Taekwoon. And she left quickly when Hakyeon smiled and signaled her to leave. Taekwoon almost jumped up from the bed when Hakyeon’s nagging voice stopped him “Don’t you dare mister!” He came and sat down in front of him. “How are you Woon-ah?” “I should be the one asking this. How do you feel? Does anything hurt?” Hakyeon smiled shaking his head. “I’m perfectly fine. I was only weak from malnutrition, you on the other hand took a bullet.” Hakyeon’s gaze turned worried as he cupped Taekwoon’s cheek caressing it. “I was so worried for you, I wanted to reach out, help you, anything! But I was so weak…I felt so helpless…” His eyes glazed over with tears as he stared deep into Taekwoon’s dark eyes. Taekwoon shook his head, grabbing his hand that on his cheek with his right one and pressing a tender kiss to it. “Does it hurt a lot?” Once again Taekwoon shook his head. “I’m just not supposed to strain it lest the wound opens again. It doesn’t hurt at all…” Taekwoon smiled reassuringly at Hakyeon who after a moment of hesitation asked. “Can I see..?” Taekwoon wanted to refuse, he knew Hakyeon would just worry even more but the pleading look in his eyes convinced him otherwise. Hakyeon pushed away at Taekwoon’s good hand as it reached for the buttons of his shirt, replacing it with his own he ed the shirt and carefully pushed it off Taekwoon’s chest, he tried his best to not blush and think of inappropriate things as the wide expanse of toned milky skin was bared to him but he wasn’t doing a very good job at it. His face heated up as his hands brushed against the warm bare skin when he pushed the shirt off of Taekwoon. He was though instantly distracted when a bandage tightly wrapped around Taekwoon’s left shoulder. He tenderly touched it, his touch lighter than a feather. His eyes looked up and locked with Taekwoon’s, the man who had risked his life just to protect him, had taken care of him when he was weaker than ever, had kissed him so tenderly as he declared his love. Hakyeon was overcome with emotion, his eyes filling up with how much love he felt for Taekwoon, how much he was scared to lose. Never again…Hakyeon swore in his heart as he leaned in to place his lips delicately over the bandage, kissing the wound softly eyes closed as he willed the tears away.

Taekwoon smiled as a light pink blush came over his beloved’s face. How he was so hesitant while pulling of his shirt, his eyes shifting between staring at his chest and away in embarrassment. He saw as all the emotions played over on Hakyeon’s face, he wanted to gather him in his arms and never let go, tell him that they would never have to face something like that ever again. But then Hakyeon leaned down, his kiss felt so light yet so full of love Taekwoon felt his heart clench. Sometimes his heart felt like it would burst from all the love he felt for this man. As Hakyeon pulled away and smiled up at him, Taekwoon made his mind to stop hiding his feelings and show Hakyeon every day, every moment just how much he loved him. He cupped Hakyeon’s cheeks with his hand and pulled him in for a much needed kiss. Hakyeon was stunned for a moment, not expecting the soft, lush feel of Taekwoon’s lips against his. He responded quickly though, resting his hand gently against his bare chest, feeling the erratic beating of heart that matched his own. Everything about the kiss was gentle, the urge to pour their feelings entirely hitting them both with a force that made their minds hazy. It was so new, yet so familiar and every nerve in Hakyeon screamed for more. He gasped silently when Taekwoon scraped his lower lips lightly with his teeth, a zing of pleasure surging through him as he readily invited Taekwoon’s tongue to merge with his own. The warm, wet feeling as Taekwoon explored and in his mouth had Hakyeon into his mouth. His body feeling so warm all over but it was comfortable, in every way Hakyeon could dream of. Taekwoon wanted more, it was clear from the way he was kissing his lover. But he knew it wasn’t the time, Taekwoon was supposed to rest, not….Hakyeon blushed as his imagination ran wild. He pulled away, their lips making a wet noise that sent a pleasurable shock through Hakyeon, a heat filling in the pit of his stomach. Taekwoon didn’t have the time to whine about the loss of contact when a voice interrupted them. “I see you both saw eachother.” Hakyeon almost fell of the side of the bed he was sitting on as he turned to see his father standing with a smile of his face. “Abeoji!” Both their faces were red because Taekwoon was shirtless and a mosquito couldn’t have bitten them both on the lips at the same time. It was pretty obvious. “How are you Hakyeon-ah? You had us all worried…” Taekwoon silently nodded totally agreeing with him. Hakyeon smiled but let out a huff right after “I’m perfectly fine! Not a single scratch. I don’t get why you all were so worried.” Mr. Cha shook his head as he came in closer and patted Hakyeon’s shoulder. “You don’t know how everyone felt when we didn’t find you in your room. When Taekwoon returned with you unconscious in his arms, himself bleeding…I was… I don’t ever want to see my sons like that again.” Hakyeon looked down. He hadn’t suffered alone, now he knew how hard it must’ve been for his family, the people who loved him. He looked up at his father with a smile, “I’m sorry abeoji…I didn’t know how you guys were suffering this much.” His father shook his head before letting out a teasing smile as he changed the topic. “So I guess we won’t need the maid anymore to take of Taekwoon now that you’re up?” Taekwoon who had been silently listening and agreeing with Mr. Cha blushed again. “Abeoji…” He almost whined in his soft voice. “I’m happy for you both, but be careful. Taekwoon still can’t strain a lot.” He winked at Taekwoon whose eyes widened before turning deep red. Hakyeon who had turned to look at Taekwoon was oblivious to everything as he nodded dutifully. “Of course I will take care of Taekwoonie from now on. He won’t strain at all; I’ll do everything for him.” When Mr. Cha let out a boisterous laugh, Taekwoon wished the ground would open and swallow him. Hakyeon didn’t even know what he was implying. Hakyeon turned confusedly towards his father once again watching him laugh away. “What happened?” He asked shifting his confused stare between his father Taekwoon continuously. Mr. Cha shook his head “I should go now. I have some matters to attend. Take care you both. I expect you both to listen to your mother and get well soon arasseo?” At the nod from both of them, he smiled one last time before leaving.

“Hakyeonnie I’m perfectly fine! The doctor even told me that I can use my arm like before. Don’t worry so much.” It had been almost one and a half month since the incident and everything in the Cha Household had returned to how it was. Bright and Happy. The kidnappers were taken care of and Taekwoon had strongly refused when the police wanted to call Hakyeon in for questioning. Taekwoon had healed completely. His wound a mere scar now. He was ready to go back and train, feel the strain in his muscles as he learned and practiced new tricks and techniques. Feel the pride when his bullet shot right through the jackpot. But apparently his boy-friend had other ideas, fretting over him even when the doctor had given him the green signal. “But Taekwoonie its only been a month, you should still be careful.” Taekwoon shook his head, finding the worry of his lover over him extremely endearing. Hakyeon had taken care of him better than any doctor or maid. Feeding him himself when he could clearly use his right hand. Giving him medicine right on time and also a sweet kiss after it. His favorite moment had to be when Hakyeon even offered to help him bath, as much as he was okay to do it himself. How could he let this chance go?

Hakyeon had been so so embarrassed, blushing and stuttering his hands shaking he helped a Taekwoon into the bath full with warm bubbly water, his eyes didn’t know where to look as Taekwoon’s gaze was too intense to look there and if his eyes wandered down from there, he wasn’t sure if he’d be able to control himself. After the bath when Taekwoon was at least wearing his boxers as Hakyeon toweled his hair dry. Hakyeon had just turned to put the towel away and get the set of clean clothes resting on the shelf when he was cornered, lips desperately covered by Taekwoon’s the desperation at that time was real as Taekwoon’s tongue almost instantly invaded his mouth taking everything Hakyeon was so willing to give. His leg nudged between Hakyeon’s own ones as he stepped impossibly close. Hakyeon’s one hand travelled up his chest, scraping his nails against the firm, pale skin. Taekwoon let a low groan into his mouth and ground his steadily hardening against Hakyeon whose other hand in his hair tightened as his hips bucked for more friction, a wanton whimper leaving him. “ Yeon I want you so much….” Taekwoon whispered as they parted teasingly rolling his hips against him again and watched with pleasure as Hakyeon’s head thumped back against the wall, his neck bared so invitingly Taekwoon couldn’t help but bury his face and place open mouthed, wet kisses on the beautiful caramel expanse. Hakyeon’s hips bucked once more as Taekwoon at that one spot on his neck that had him out load, voice echoing embarrassingly in the bathroom. “T-Taek…Woonie ah we should stop….y-you shoulder…” Hakyeon managed to get the words out with trouble. Taekwoon’s face appeared in his vision as he lifted it from the comfortable spot it was tucked in and Hakyeon almost chuckled at the cross look that Taekwoon was wearing. “I swear this shoulder of mine is beginning to get on my nerves…” Hakyeon did chuckle then leaning up to place a peck on his and then pushed him away. “Come on wear your clothes and then let’s get some food.” Begrudgingly Taekwoon nodded.

 Taekwoon didn’t even realize he was zoning out when Hakyeon shaked him “Are you even listening Taekwoon?” “Huh? Yeah of course.” Hakyeon hmph-ed with a pout and folded his arms making Taekwoon sigh fondly. “I’m gonna be fine Yeon-ah. I promise I’ll stop the moment I feel any kind of pain okay?” Hakyeon contemplated for a moment before sticking his pinky out “Promise?” Taekwoon chuckled lightly and then wrapped his arms around Hakyeon’s waist, pulling him in. “Promise.” He whispered against his lips before joining their mouths in a passionate lip-lock.

“Soooooooo have you two done the dirty yet?” Jaehwan asked loudly and was quickly shut up by Hakyeon who neck chopped him. “Shut up Hwannie you ert.” “What? Don’t forget that you were the one who dreamily told me how he was so handsome and perfect and how much you wanted to kiss those pouty, full l---ow ow ow stop Hyung!”  Hakyeon blushed red, it was true. Jaehwan was his best friend and he had told him how much he adored Taekwoon since he was a child. But he didn’t need to repeat it like that! “Come on! Tell meeeee, I’ll help you with pointers. I have much more experience after all.” Jaehwan cheekily wiggled his eyebrows making Hakyeon roll his eyes. It was no secret that Ravi and Jaehwan were together. They had a history of being the most gross and shameless couple ever.  “Shush. And for starters no, we haven’t had….you know…” Hakyeon blushed again, he wouldn’t lie he imagined about it a lot. Him underneath Taekwoon, with nothing separating them. He wanted to become Taekwoon’s so badly. And with how Taekwoon kissed him and held him, he knew the younger felt the same. His face heated up as he remembered their bathroom encounter. If he hadn’t stopped Taekwoon, he would definitely done a lot more his shoulder be damned. But now……even that wasn’t stopping them. Sure he was worried, but even the doctor had told Taekwoon that he was 100% healed and he had to agree he was an over worrier. Hundreds of possibilities, thousands of scenarios took place in Hakyeon’s mind. All of them leading to him and Taekwoon, bonded together intimately in the throes of passion, lust and love. “Earth to hyung! Wow are you actually thinking dirty right now?” Jaehwan snickered when Hakyeon snapped out and blushed deep red.

Throughout the day, it was running through his mind, he was ready he knew. He wanted this, so badly he couldn’t wait. So what was stopping him? Making up his mind. Hakyeon decided that it was finally time he initiated something and gave himself to Taekwoon.
