Ch. 33- Heartaches Are Worse Than Headaches

The Raven and the Dove

Sungyeol's POV:

When I woke up this morning I was in cold sweat. Then as I stood up, my mind went blank for a second, and then it felt like the room was spinning around. I had to sit on my bed for a few minutes before I can get a hold onto myself. All of a sudden I started to cough and my body was shivering a bit. I touched my forehead and I had a fever! I had a fever for god's sake!

I swear I thought I only had a headache, and now I have a fever! A fever out of all things!

I tried getting up again, and I felt okay. I went to brush my teeth, wash my face, and then I went to put my uniform on. Then I styled my hair up with hair gel, and went back downstairs. I was surprised that Myungsoo wasn't up yet, so I checked my phone. That was when I realized it was only 7 AM, and school doesn't start until 8 AM! Since it was really early in the morning still, I just decided to go to school earlier than usual. I left a note for Myungsoo saying I left early to finish some stuff at school. Before I left, I took out some fever reducer pills from the cabinet and downed them with water.  I placed the note on the counter and headed outside and stepped into the car.

While I was in the car, I could feel my head starting to hurt again. Things were getting a bit dizzy too, but after I held my head in my hands for a while, the dizziness subsided. I closed my eyes so that my head wouldn't hurt as much, and try to get some more rest before I arrived at school. The car ride there wasn't much help either. I don't usually get car sick, but with my fever the car ride made it much worse.

I was glad that nobody was at school yet; I did not want to deal with people so early in the morning. As I got out of the car, I had to grip onto the handle for a bit because trying to stand up made me a bit dizzy. Once the dizziness disappeared, I got out of the car, and walked to my classroom. The room was deserted so I walked over to my desk and sat down. I laid my head down, closed my eyes, and went to sleep until class started.

--------------------------------------------------------

 

" Sungyeol. Hey, wake up Sungyeol." I felt somebody nudging me, but I didn't want to wake up.

" Sungyeol? Are you okay?" I felt the person's hand against my forehead. The person's cold hand felt nice against my burning forehead. I whined inside my head at the lost contact when they retracted their hand.

" Sungyeol! You have a fever!" The person began to shake my shoulder, and I couldn't help but open my eyes. My vision was blurry at first but I could make out the face. It was Kris.

" K-Kris?" I looked around the classroom to see only a few people, but I was looking for Myungsoo the whole time.

" You shouldn't be at school! How can you come to school when you have a fever!?" I ignored what Kris said, and I saw Myungsoo's bag on his chair.

" He is with Sungjong right now."

" H-Huh?"

" He saw you with your head on the desk and decided to leave you alone and go see Sungjong."

" O-Oh. Okay."

So he didn't even try to talk to me? He wasn't even worried why I had my head on the desk? He didn't even ask why I left early? Now he is with Sungjong? Is it true what Minwoo said? Does Sungjong really like Myungsoo?

My head was throbbing, and I was coughing hysterically. I could feel Kris's big hand patting my back to help out with my coughing. I smiled at him as a sort of thanks and he smiled back. Then he placed his hand back on my forehead and left it there for a while. I leaned towards his hand because the cold feeling of his hand felt nice. I felt his other hand placed on my cheek, and I leaned into that hand too. He was about to pull away his hands, but I held onto them.

" Wait. Just a little bit longer." Even though I closed my eyes, I know he nodded his head. After a few minutes I heard a loud voice enter.

" Yah! What are you guys doing!?" My eyes flew open to see an angry Myungsoo standing by the doorway.

" M-Myungsoo! I thought you were with Sungjong." Kris pulled his hands away from me, and walked to his seat. When Kris walked pass Myungsoo, I swear they gave each other glares.

" What were you and Kris doing?" Myungsoo was giving me a questioning look which I don't know why.

" We were just talking, nothing more, nothing less."

" It didn't look like that to me. It seemed like you like the contact of his hands on your face." I scoffed at his comment and looked at him.

" What is that supposed to mean? Just because Kris's hands were on my face doesn't mean you have to make assumptions!"

" What? Why can't I make assumptions!? Anybody could make any sort of assumptions from the way you two are acting! It seems like you guys are together!" My head was starting to hurt from the arguing but I was not going to lose him.

So he thinks Kris and I are together? Does he want Kris and I together? Does he never think about the chance of us getting together? Maybe it's only me who has thought of us together.

" You know what Myungsoo! The way you and Sungjong are so close together, people would think you are together!" He didn't say anything back to me and looked down at the floor. Though I could see a faint blush on his cheeks, and that made me angry.

" Whatever. Don't talk to me for the rest of the day Myungsoo, I have a headache just arguing with you." His head looked back up at me with a worried look.

" Are you okay?" His hand reached for my face, but I slapped it away.

" Don't touch me. Stay away from me for the rest of the day too." I turn away from him, and he didn't try to bother me for the rest of the hour.

Idiot! Why are you doing this to me!? Why!? W-Why!? Why is it only me who gets hurt all the time!? T-Tell me....Tell me.

 

Myungsoo's POV:

 

I was surprised when Sungyeol said to not touch him. I slowly pulled away my hand, and laid my hand on my lap. Clenching my fist in anger, I couldn't help but want to punch something. I had to hold back the feeling because I knew I would make people jump in their seats. Also it's a good thing there wasn't much students in the classroom, but what pissed me off was that Kris heard the whole conversation. What made me even more angry than that was when I saw Kris's hands on Sungyeol's face, and Sungyeol was leaning into his hands.

What's with Sungyeol!? I was worried this morning when I read the note saying he left early. Then when I arrived at school he was just sleeping in his seat, and I was relieved. As I came back from Sungjong's class I just had to see Kris caressing Sungyeol's face. I mean who wouldn't misunderstand that!? He didn't have to get all angry about it anyways. Now he won't even let me get close to him for the rest of the day! Aish!

I ruffled my hair in frustration, but then I noticed Sungyeol's uneven breathing. Then I saw him coughing really hard and sweat was rolling down his face. He was the same as yesterday, but it seemed like he was much more worse today. I was going to say something until I remembered he didn't want me to talk to him for the rest of the day. I turn my head away from him and focused on the teacher when she came in.

While the teacher was talking, I saw Kris look back towards Sungyeol sometimes. From what I could see, Kris seemed worried for Sungyeol. I looked back at Sungyeol to see his eyes closed tightly, and gripping onto the desk. Then Kris looked towards me and gave me a glare. I swear everyday I receive those glares of his everyday! I don't know what I did to him to make him look at me like that. Whatever. I decided to focus back on the teacher, and ignored Kris and Sungyeol for the rest of the day.

----------------------------------------------------------

 

Once the bell rang, I saw Sungyeol pack his things quickly and headed out the door as fast as possible. I packed my things as slowly as possible, and then I was heading for the door. Before I even left, I felt somebody's grip on my shoulder. I looked at the hand and went up to see Kris.

" What do you want?"

" Do you remember what I said to you a while back? Remember I told you I needed to talk to you after fourth period back then?" I nodded my head in reply.

" Well, good you remember then." He left me there and headed to his next class. Then I went to my next class wondering why he made me remember our conversation back then.

----------------------------------------------------------

After 4th period.......

 

The bell rang signalling fourth period was over and that lunch is starting. I packed up my things, but before I left the room, I remembered Kris and my conversation a while ago.

 

FLASHBACK

 

" Sungyeol you can head on without me. I need to go to my locker before going to lunch." Sungyeol nodded his head and went out without me.

" Myungsoo." I turn over to see Kris waiting for me.

" What do you want to talk about Kris?"

" Do you like Sungjong?" My eyes went wide when he said that.

" So I'm right." I saw him let out a deep sigh. Then he looked at me with stern eyes. He placed his big hands on my shoulder and griped onto them tightly. I flinched at the pain, but I dealt with it.

" If you ever hurt or make Sungyeol cry," he leaned closer to my ear and whispered, " then I will castrate you, but I will take him away from you first." He pulled away from me, and smiled at me. He let go of my shoulders and left me there in the classroom.

" W-What did he mean he would take away Sungyeol? Why would I hurt Sungyeol or make him cry? Why did he mention Sungyeol?"

FLASHBACK ENDS

 

I was still confused when he said that to me back then. I never understood as to why I would hurt Sungyeol. I mean, Sungyeol and I are friends, really good friends. I can depend on him and he can depend on me. Even though we have our off days at times, we would always make up at then end of the day. If I do hurt Sungyeol, then I hope I can stop that before it happens.

As I entered the lunchroom, I saw a group of people around a table. The others were looking at the group of people too, so I asked what was happening.

" Hey guys, what is going on over there?" I pointed to where the group of people were, and Sunggyu-hyung answered first.

" Sungyeol is in the lunchroom." I was shocked that he was in the lunchroom in the first place. He hasn't been in the lunchroom for a while, so why would he decide to be in here now?

" Hoya-hyung, Sungyeol-hyung doesn't look too good." The people opened up a gap, and I could see Sungyeol. Sungjong was right, Sungyeol didn't look good.

" Dang it Sungyeol!" I saw Hoya-hyung get up from his seat and walked over to Sungyeol. From where I was sitting, Sungyeol's eyes grew wide when he saw Hoya-hyung. Then Hoya-hyung grabbed onto Sungyeol and dragged him over here.

" You guys better stop bothering my little brother or else you will get it!" Everybody's eyes and ours went wide when he just revealed himself as Sungyeol's brother. Though that did make them back off of Sungyeol. He dragged Sungyeol over to our table and placed him right next to him.

" Thank you, hyung." Even though it was quiet, we were all able to hear it.

" Anything for you Sungyeol." I saw a little smile on Sungyeol's face, and that made me feel a bit better. The only time I have seen him smile was this morning.

We all started to talk how our day was going, but Sungyeol just laid his head on Hoya-hyung's shoulder. It seemed like he was sleeping, and we didn't want to disturb him. The bell rang which meant was over and we had to go to our next class.

" Hey Sungyeol, wake up. Lunch is over." Sungyeol woke up, stood up, and was about to fall over until I ran over and caught him.

" T-Thanks." He shrugged off my hands and he walked by himself to class. Silently I walked closely behind him to class, and I prayed that he wouldn't fall over again.

----------------------------------------------------------------

At home......

 

School finally ended for the day, and I was happy that it was over. I couldn't stand sitting next to Sungyeol in every class and not be able to talk to him. At least when we are home we have our own rooms, and we can put some distance between ourselves. I went up to my room, changed into different clothes, and started my homework. I was staring at my homework for such a long time that afterwards I just gave up. I just didn't have the energy to do my homework right now.

I sat on my chair for a while until I heard my stomach grumble loudly. I went downstairs to grab a snack, and as I entered the kitchen I saw Sungyeol looking through some cabinets. He was gripping onto the counters too as he was looking through the cabinets. Then he went through the medicine cabinet, and kept looking through it.

" Sungyeol what are you doing?" Sungyeol whipped his head around and he had on a surprised face.

" M-Myungsoo? Oh....I'm just looking for some medicine. I have a headache that's all. I'm going to go to the store quickly, be right back." I saw him grab his wallet and his phone, and head out through the door. At the same time I got a text from Sungjong.

To: Myungsoo

From: Sungjongie <3

Hey meet me at the park that is close to Sungyeol's place! Seeya!

I smiled as I got his text, and I went to grab a jacket and headed out the door. I was walking around the streets when I saw Sungjong sitting on a bench. I ran over to him and flopped next to him. Then I grabbed him into a bear hug, and I could feel him trying to get out from my grasp.

" L-Let me go Myungsoo-hyung! I can't breathe!"

" Haha! Sorry Sungjong-ah! So why did you want to meet up?"

" Why can't I just randomly text you that I wanted to see you. I just wanted to see you." I smiled because he wanted to see me. I grabbed onto his hand and intertwined our fingers. Thought it was a little bit loose, it felt nice, but something was missing.

We sat there in silence with his head on my shoulder. It was getting dark soon, so I decided that we should get going home soon. I stood up and held out my hand for Sungjong. He took it and we headed to his driver's car, and we were under a lamppost. I could see the light on his face and I held his face in my hand. Then all of a sudden I remembered this morning when Kris was caressing Sungyeol's face, and I got angry all of a sudden. Without noticing it, Sungjong pulled down my head and kissed me.

 

Sungyeol's POV:

 

I was walking back home after I bought the medicine I needed. I was looking through my bag making sure I didn't forget anything, and closed the bag. On the way back home I usually pass by a park that is near, but the thing that caught my eye sight was two people. The two of them were under a lamppost and I could see who they were. Even though the distance between them and me was a bit far, but I could make out who the two people were.

" Sungjong........and Myungsoo."

I saw Myungsoo touch Sungjong's face, and my breathing started to get uneven. He started to caress his face, and my head was starting to hurt. Then all of a sudden Sungjong pulled Myungsoo towards him and kiss him. My heart shattered right then and tears were pouring down my face. I dropped the bag of medicine I was holding in my hand and it dropped onto the ground. My knees gave up right there, and I was on my knees. It felt like the whole world was crashed, and everything turned black and white.

Myungsoo and Sungjong are together.....they are together.....together.......t-together. You are such a fool Sungyeol! You are such a fool to think you and Myungsoo had a chance together! Why did he choose Sungjong? Why? Why Myungsoo?

I put my hand against my mouth to deafen my cries. No matter how much I cried, the pain wouldn't go away. No matter how much I wanted to erase this moment, it won't ever disappear. My body was shivering to the point I was shaking so badly. I was about to collaspe onto the ground until I felt somebody's arms around my waist. I could feel them grip even tighter and I turned around and cried into their chest.

" Sungyeol....please stop crying. Please, it hurts me to see you cry." I felt something wet on my head, and I guess that the person must be crying too. I looked up, even though my tears made my vision blurry, but I knew that face anywhere. It was Kris.

" K-Kris." He wiped away my tears with his thumbs. I closed my eyes and he kissed my teary eyes. Such gentle kisses made my heart flutter but my heart was still in so much pain. I gripped onto his shirt, buried my face into his shirt, and he smelled like sweat. He must have went running.

All of a sudden my head was spinning, my vision going black, and I felt like I wasn't able to hold myself up for any longer.

" Sungyeol!" I heard Kris screaming my name again and again. I wasn't able make a sound though. The last thing I heard before I could feel myself being lifted up was..........I love you........

 

 

 

 

(A/N: O.M.G I was like crying inside so badly when I wrote the ending! I know you guys want Myungyeol together but please be patient! Love can never comes easily!)
