Gongchan’s P.O.V

I was awoken by the sun shining through my thin curtains. What time is it?

I rolled onto my back and looked over at the clock on my bedside cabinet. ‘9:00’ wow. I bet everyone is awake. I best get up. Pulling back my duvet covers, I sat up and got out of bed, before beginning to walk towards the kitchen, sleepily rubbing my eyes.

When I got to the kitchen the awkward atmosphere hit me like a slap across the face. Oh great another silent breakfast.

I took a seat opposite CNU, who looked up from his pancakes. Wait. Pancakes? Where's my pancakes!? I looked around to see everyone eating, which was when I noticed a plate with a stack of pancakes on it sitting on the breakfast bar, clearly waiting for me.

I looked round the table to find Sandeul; he was sat next to CNU, eating his pancakes cutely. I stood up, smirking, and went to get my plate, taking in the delicious scent of my freshly cooked breakfast as I did so. I love Sandeul's cooking, it’s like tasting heaven. When I sat back down, I grabbed one of the forks left in the centre of the table and dug in. God I love Sandeul! How does he cook this good?

Looking up from my food, I sent him a grin of thanks, though he never saw it, he was looking down at his food, prodding it with his fork. I couldn't help but notice his cheeks were a dark shade of pink. Bless. Baro was standing next to him, watching him carefully with a small smile on his face. I could tell Sandeul was losing his appetite, and I think Baro noticed this too, as he rubbed Sandeul’s arm and nodded encouragingly when he looked up from his plate.

What's going on with them two?

I kept watching, every so often slipping small pieces of my pancakes into my mouth. I saw a small smile spread across Sandeul’s face as he finished his pancakes, earning a 'well done' pat on the shoulder from Baro. He seriously needs to stop touching my Deullie like that!

Sandeul stood up and took his plate to the sink, Baro following closely behind with his hands resting gently on Sandeul’s shoulders. Since when were they that close? They’re all... touchy all of a sudden... Is there something going on between them? Are they dating!?

When they returned to the table, Baro sat down first. I couldn't help but notice how slowly Sandeul lowered himself into his seat. When he was finally sat back down, he looked over at Baro who mimed words I couldn’t quite make out, yet causing Sandeul to giggle slightly and lean back into his chair. As he did this, his back hit the wooden chair, and his eyes widened, causing him to wince in pain as he shot up and leaned his head on the table.

“Ow.” He whimpered. What... What's going on? Why is Sandeul hurting? Why are they so close all of a sudden? Did they... No... They didn't! Did they!? They couldn’t have!

I watched intently, but nobody else seemed to notice what was going on. Jinyoung was on his phone as per usual, and CNU was messing around on his ipad. I saw Baro jump slightly before getting out of his seat and jogging to the drug cabinet, frantically searching for something.

When he returned, he handed Sandeul some small painkillers. My eyes widened. They did. My suspicions were confirmed.

They had .

My eyes widened further when I saw Sandeul’s face grow even redder as he accepted the painkillers and washed them down with his orange juice. I could feel jealousy bubbling up inside of me. Baro was not supposed to be the one to take Sandeul’s ity. I was! I had always wanted Sandeul to be my first, and for me to be his.

But now it’s too late.

I felt my heart sink.

I jabbed my fork onto my plate, in an attempt to pick up more pancake, only to receive the noise of the plate and my fork colliding. I looked down at my plate. All my pancakes had gone.

"Urgh!" I huffed, before getting up, putting my bowl into the sink and storming back to my room. That could not have been worse!

First I found out that my Deullie had with Baro!! And secondly, when I wanted more pancakes, there was none left!!

Sandeul’s P.O.V

As I sat there prodding my pancakes with my fork, I could feel Baro's eyes on my face. What’s he looking at? Have I got something on my face? I couldn't concentrate on my food for it. I felt him pat my shoulder lightly. Looking up in his direction, he simply nodded at me. He wants me to eat.

I reluctantly took another mouth full.

To be honest, Baro’s close proximity wasn't the reason why I wasn't eating, I just didn't want to. I felt sick. Today I was going to see my Appa in hospital. This could be the last time I see him before he dies.

When I finally finished all of my pancakes, I smiled triumphantly, and received another gentle pat on the shoulder from Baro. I got up and took my plate to the sink. Baro followed behind me with his hands on my shoulders. What's with him today? Why is he being so clingy?

I placed my plate in the sink and walked back to my seat, lowering myself down slowly, being careful not to hurt my back anymore than it already was.

When I sat down I looked over at Baro.

"Well done Deullie." He mouthed at me; I couldn't help but laugh at the way his lips moved. As I laughed, I leaned back into my seat, feeling a sudden jolt of pain shoot up my spine as my back hit the back of the chair.

OUCH!

I shot forward, leaning my head on the table, the jolt of pain soon reduced to a dull burning. I needed this pain to stop. As if to read my mind, I heard Baro stand up from his seat. When he returned, he slid a sleeve of painkillers towards me. I sat up and washed two down with my orange juice. Everything was silent except for the sound forks meeting plates.

"Urgh!" I heard Gongchan complain and storm out of the kitchen and up the stairs. I looked around slightly confused. What's wrong with him? I shrugged and looked at Baro.

"Will you help me?" I whispered to him, being careful that Jinyoung and CNU didn’t hear me.

"Yeah, sure, come on." He replied, before we both stood up and made our way upstairs. When I got to my room I went into my wardrobe and picked out some clothes and a towel and made my way into the bathroom. A cold shower should probably help my back.

I the shower, making sure that it was freezing cold. I removed my pyjamas and stood with my back facing the water. It felt nice. The ice cold droplets cooling down my burning back.

After washing my hair and my body, I got out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my waist. When I went back into my bedroom, Baro was sat on the bed waiting, the cream next to him, with a small towel.

He looked up at me.

"Ready?" He asked, and I nodded in reply, he patted the bed next to him, so I sat down and he began massaging the cooling cream into my back.

"Baro?" I began shyly.

"Yeah." He replied, still concentrating on rubbing the cream onto my back.

"Will... Will you come with me today?" I asked, I don't think I can face going to see my dad on my own. I needed a friend with me, and Baro was the only one I had at the moment.

"Sure!" He replied, sounding excited. "Where are we going to go?" He asked.

"Well... My Appa is in hospital... And I want to go see him... There's a chance he won't live." I replied, feeing tears sting my eyes as I mentioned my Appa.

"Oh... Yeah, sure I'll come." He replied, a little less enthusiastic than the first time.

 

Baro’s P.O.V

The journey to the hospital was rather awkward. I could tell that Sandeul was nervous. I don't know why he asked me to go with him, but in a way, I'm glad he did.

"Have you told the others?" I asked, him, looking directly at him. He sat staring out of the window, deep in thought.

"Umm?" He mumbled, looking back at me.

"Have you told the others?" I repeated softly.

"Told the others what?"

"About your dad" I raised my eyebrow slightly.

"Oh... N-no ... A-and please don't tell them. I don't want them to know." He stuttered, his eyes widening.

"Hey, I won't, I promise." I didn't understand why he didn't want the others to know. If they knew, maybe they'd cut him some slack, but it’s what he wants, so I won't tell them.

 

Sandeul’s P.O.V

When we reached the hospital, I paid the taxi driver and got out the car, waiting for Baro to do the same before we entered.

A horrible smell of cleanliness and illness filled my nose as soon as the automatic doors slid open. Urgh I hate that smell.

I looked around in hopes to find some sort of a reception desk, when I found it, I walked over and gave the women behind the desk my father’s name. She looked up, surprised filled her features as she recognised me, before looking down and telling me which room and the directions to it.

I walked the way she had told me to, Baro following closely behind me. When I turned a corner, I saw my mother sat on a chair in the hall way, her head in hands. I walked towards her slowly.

This is it.

I placed my hand lightly on her shoulder.

"Umma?" Was all I could say.

She sat up abruptly and turned her head to look at me.

"What are you doing here?" She hissed, roughly pushing my hand off of her shoulder, her disgust showed clearly on her features. She didn't want me here, but I have to see my Appa. At least, just one last time...

"I came to see Ap-" I began, but she cut me off.

"Oh no you don't!" She interrupted harshly, standing up and placing her face level with mine. "He doesn't want to see you." She continued, jabbing a long, manicured finger into my chest and pushing me away.

"B-but." I stuttered, hold back the tears that were now beginning to prick at my eyes.

This was probably my last chance to see my Appa before he died.

"But nothing! Go home and don’t come back!" She yelled.

"Umma! I'm his son!" I shouted back, slowly losing control of the tears as they began to form and slip down my face.

"Not anymore you're not." She replied and pointed to the exit. "So leave."

I didn't bother to reply to her, just slowly turned away and walked outside in defeat.

Maybe I would never see my Appa again now.

:( I feel so sorry for Sandeul
