"Ya! you're going to be late if you don't get up now" HyukJae said as he threw Junsu's practice jersey at him.

"Mhm" Junsu mumbled in reply, as his head spins in circles, feeling completely weak.

"You okay?" Hyuk ask as he notices how sluggish, his best friend was moving.

"I think so, I'll meet you out on the field" Junsu said, as he finally sat up right.

"I can wait" Hyuk said, not liking how his friend looks, skin looking paler than usual.

"No it's okay" he forced himself up as he pushes the blonde out the door. "Just let coach know I am running a little late" he finished saying, closing the door as soon as he got HyukJae out of the way.

This was weird to HyukJae because it's usually Junsu waking him up for practice, not the other way around. He pulls his phone out of his pocket to message SungMin since he was out with him last night.

Just as he was about to text SungMin, his phone began to vibrate and the picture of Hae on call display pops up.

"Are you okay?" he hears DongHae's panicked voice.

"Yeah... what's going on?" Hyuk ask nervously.

"I just had a horrible dream and you were badly hurt" the words spilled out the brunettes mouth.

"Ah... ok" Hyuk said as he tries to process Hae's words. "I am fine" he continued as silence started to fill the phone.

"I hope you don't think it's weird, but that dream just felt so real, and well I don't want to lose you" DongHae finally spoke up after a few seconds of silence.

"No, I don't think it's weird." Hyuk replied.

"Can I see you today?" Hae query.

"Yeah, but I can't stay out too late, we have our semi finals match on Friday, and coach got us on strict curfew" the blonde explained.

"It doesn't have to be long, I just want to see you" the brunette replied.

"" Hyuk said more to himself than DongHae, as he looked at his phone seeing the time. "I got to go, or else I will be late for practice" he continued to say.

"Okay" Hae replied.

"See you later, Hae" he said before he hung up the phone, and hauled for the field.

"I thought you said he would be running late, not missing the whole practice" Coach barked at HyukJae. Practice was a mess, it seems no one woke up in the right state of mind.

"He didn't look okay when I woke him up, but he said he would be coming out" Hyuk replies.

"Go check on him" coach said as he walked away, towards the defensive line.

It was unlike Junsu to miss practice, much less show up late. HyukJae couldn't help but feel a little nervous as he made his way back to their shared room. He took off running to his room, hoping that his mind was just thinking in overdrive and that his friend was just really tired from the night before.

"Junsu" Hyuk called out his name as he didn't see him in the room once he entered. He quickly scanned the area, but his friend was nowhere to be found. He quickly scrambles to get his phone to call him.

It took awhile before the call was picked up. "Ya! Where are you? Coach is chewing me out because you said you would only be a little late" the words rolled off his tongue in haste, as he was relief that his friend was able to answer his phone at least.

"Sorry..." his voice was weak, too weak, which made the blonde hair boy start to panic.

"Why do you sound like that?" he said as he continues to walk through the dorm building searching each room.

"I think..." he started to say.

"Just tell me where you are, I will come to you" HyukJae cut him off.

"It's okay, I just need a moment that's all" Junsu tried to reason, he didn't want his best friend to worry about him, not over something so small.

"You are not okay, Kim Junsu!" Hyuk was getting mad. He didn't like that Junsu has kept his distance from him. Yes they were talking again, but things were not the same, ever since Heechul dropped the confession for Junsu.

Junsu, couldn't help it. He doesn't think he deserves Hyuk's attention, not after putting him through the silent treatment and completely missed that he was getting sick from the situation that he was a part of. He loves HyukJae, but he doesn't want to get in between what DongHae and him have. He envied it, but he loved it. To see the smile that lit up on Hyuk's face as he looked over at the bleachers and say DongHae cheering him on.

"Ya! You might be sick, but I will hurt you, if you don't tell me where you are right now!" Hyuk demanded after a long lingering silence of the phone.

"In the bathroom" Junsu replied.

"Okay... which one, there is so much bathrooms around here, and you clearly aren't in our dorm." Hyuk pressed on, not wanting to get more annoyed, as it pained him to hear the weakness in his friends voice.

"How do you know that?" he asks.

"Because I was just there and I didn't see you, now tell me where you are" Hyuk replied in a calmer tone.

"In the change room bathrooms" Junsu finally gave in, as he feels he is going to throw up once more.

"I'm coming" HyukJae said as he quickly put his phone away and ran full speed, after hearing Junsu throwing up.

It didn't take long before the blonde found the stall Junsu was in. All the other doors were open and only one was closed. He opened the door slowly, not wanting to frighten his friend.

"Ahhh I should kill you" HyukJae said as he took in the state his best friend was in. Pale, is an understatement. His skin has lost all color,

"I will be fine, just need some time to rest" Junsu tried to reassure his friend,  but just looking at his face, he was doing the opposite. 

"shut up and don't move,  I will be right back" the blond hair guy warned. 

It's not like he could move at the moment,  Junsu can't tell when last he has felt this weak. 

"Ah!" HyukJae yelled as he walks through the hallway leading to their soccer field. 

As he made his way back to the field,  he notices all eyes on him.  

"Everything... all right"  the coach query as they all look at the blonde guy who hardly ever raises his voice.  

"No everything is not all right," he replied as he looked at his coach.  "I'm going to need some help..." 

"What's wrong,  what happened?" he was cut off by Jinyoung,  who spoke up what others were thinking. 

"Junsu looks like a ghost and is throwing up every single thing he has in him,  in the bathroom right now" Hyuk explains. 

"Wow,  he just had to pick this time to get sick" one of the players on the team said,  wishing he kept it to himself, after daggers were being pointed at him,  from his teammates eyes. 

"Ignore him," Jinyoung said as he took a step towards HyukJae. "I will help you,  if coach doesn't mind"  he continued to say,  as he turned his attention to their coach.  

"Make sure he gets checked out fully, HyukJae. Don't let him say he is fine,  and you just take him back to the dorm.  He needs to see a doctor,  the last thing I need is another player of mine,  passing out on the field" the coach finished saying as his voice trailed off towards the end.  

"Yes coach,  I had all intentions of taking him to the doctors. Gawd if you guys saw him" HyukJae started to ramble,  as image of Junsu hugging the toilet seat as he is hunched over trying to stop the onslaught he was going through. 

"Hurry up and get him to a doctor then" the coach said after listening to Hyuk recall of Junsu state. 


The walk in clinics weren't open yet,  so they opted for the hospital.  Jinyoung drove as HyukJae held Junsu in his arm,  trying to warm him up as he to tremble in his arms. 

"Hey SungMin can you do me a favor? " he said as soon as his best friend picked up the phone.  

"Sure,  what is it?" he replies. 

"I'm on my way to the hospital with Junsu right now... "

"Why,  what happened?  Are you guys okay?" SungMin's mind began to reel with various different scenarios of what could have happened to his two oldest friends. "Which hospital?  I will meet you guys there" he continues to panic. 

"if it's serious I will call and tell you to come" Hyuk tries to reason to calm Ming down. He knows how he freaks out when something goes wrong and he didn't want that to happen. 

"I think it's already serious if you guys are going to the hospital,  don't let me track your phone" SungMin tried to sound threatening but it was more of a plea than anything. 

"We are only going to the hospital because the clinics aren't open yet. " Hyuk replied.  

"Oh...,  but still" Ming tried to continue his protest,  wanting to be there for his friends. 

"Coach insisted we go,  since he doesn't want a repeat of what happened to me before" Hyuk tried to explain hoping SungMin would finally let him explain why he called in the first place.

"Oh ok,  glad he is paying attention to you guys more. Okay what favor can I do for you then." he finally gave up.  

"Can you let DongHae know I won't be able to make it for our date tonight."

"Why don't you just call him?" Ming asks. 

"I tried but he is not picking up. I don't want if he calls me back and I don't answer for him to think anything is wrong." 

"Ah ok" SungMin replies, understanding what HyukJae means. "I will make sure he knows, and you better keep me posted about Junsu" he finished saying. 

"You know I will, and thanks Minnie,  I know I can always count on you" Hyuk replies.  

"You're welcome, now go take good care of our friend, later Hyukkie" Ming said before he hung up the phone. 


Jinyoung and HyukJae both let out a sigh of relief when the doctor told them it is a really bad case of food poisoning.  When HyukJae called to update SungMin on Junsu situation,  Ming said the restaurant that made Junsu that way is now blacklisted. He couldn't help but laugh at how worked up SungMin got, it was cute.  

Junsu insisted that he didn't want to stay in the hospital overnight,  he would rather be at home, in the dorms. 

"You shouldn't have broke your plans for me" Junsu said as HyukJae helped him lay down on his bed. 

"Why not? You would do the same for me" Hyuk retorted. 

"You know why" Junsu voice came out like a whisper. 

"No I don't.  Can you explain to me why I shouldn't be by my friends side when he is sick like this" Hyuk replied,  eyes staring right at Junsu's. 

"It's not fair to him... " Junsu voice trailed off,  he couldn't look at HyukJae any longer without feeling bad for coming in between DongHae and him again. 

"You know what's not fair,  you trying to cut me out of your life. I get it you liked me and I was too stupid to see.  You have no idea how sorry I am about hurting you.  But you're hurting me too. We used to tell each other everything and now you can't even tell me you're feeling sick,  because you think it's unfair to DongHae. "

Junsu turned back to face Hyuk,  as the hurt could be heard in his voice. 

"it's just that..."  he tried to replied

"But nothing,  we have been friends way too long for you to think I would stop treating you like I always have.  You're my best friend for crying out loud.  You, me and Minnie has been together since we were eight.  If DongHae thinks that it's not fair for me to take care of a friend, then I don't know if we will last.  As much as I love him,  I am not willing to throw away the friendship we have built for him. "

A tear escaped Junsu eyes. He knew his friendship with HyukJae was special but he didn't know it was that special to him. 

"Don't you dare cry" Hyuk warned as he wipes the tears that fell from his best friend eyes. "You know I cry if I see you guys crying" he finished saying. 

Junsu pulled him into hug "thank you Hyukkie" he said as more tears fell from his eyes.  

"You're welcome, I am not going anywhere" Hyuk reply as tears streamed down his face as he hugs Junsu back. 

"Now get some sleep" HyukJae said as he pulled apart from their hug, leading Junsu to lie down.  

"What are you doing?" Junsu ask,  as the blond was snuggling up with him in bed. 

"Making sure you go to sleep" Hyuk answered as he place Junsu's head against his chest and lightly his hair. 

It didn't take long for Junsu to realize that he misses this comfort. Whenever one of them were sick,  this is how they would comfort the other till they fell asleep, when they were younger.  

About ten minutes later,  Junsu was sleeping like a baby.  A light knock at their dorm door, brought HyukJae out of his happy thought,  he's finally able to get things back to how they used to be. 

He moved very slowly hoping not to wake Junsu up. He opens the door and is surprised to see the person standing in front of him. 

"I hope it's okay I stopped by like this" DongHae says as he nervously looks at HyukJae, who wears a shocked expression. 

"It's fine" he replies after some silence fell between them. "Sorry about skipping our date today" he continued to say after Hae didn't say anything.  

"It's okay,  I actually just came by to drop this off" he said as he pulls the bag from behind his back. 

"What's in it?" HyukJae asks. 

"SungMin told me Junsu got sick,  and that he wasn't staying in the hospital, so I made him some porridge" he replies as he hands the bag over to his boyfriend. 

"Oh, thanks,  you didn't have to though" the blond replies,  he couldn't hold back the smile that found its way on his face,  proud to call Hae his boyfriend. 

"I know how important he is to you,  this is the least I can do to help" DongHae stated as he smiled in return. 

"I love you,  you know that right?" the blond says as he pulls the brunette in his arm. 

"I love you too" he simply replies before bringing their lips together for a kiss.  

"Now go take care of your best friend, we can play around some other day" DongHae said after he broke their kiss. 

"Text me when you get in okay" Hyuk said. 

"I will" Hae replies. 

"See you later baby" Hyuk says as he leans in a kisses DongHae's cheek,  bidding good night. 

"You're lucky" Junsu voice scared him a bit after he closed their room door. 

"I know" HyukJae replies as he goes right back to where he was before. 

"Don't hurt him" Junsu says. 

"Ya,  shouldn't you be saying that to him! Are you sure you're my best friend? " Hyuk teased making both of them laugh. 

"I see the way he looks at you, he really loves you" Junsu said after they both came down from their laughter. He knows because that's how he looks at HyukJae as well. 

"I know, and as crazy as it might seem, I might love him more than he will ever know" HyukJae said more to himself than to his best friend. 

"You two are sort of perfect for each other" Junsu said as he snuggles into HyukJae chest,  finally able to take the first step in accepting and hoping to let go off his one sided love. 

"Sorry" was all the blond could say as he felt his shirt getting wet,  from where his best friends face touch. 

HyukJae ran his hand through Junsu's hair until the both of them fell asleep
