Surprises
The Time Keeper'I hope you feel better Baekhyun oppa! Fighting!'
Baekhyun reread the small card again, his eyes wide and confused as he stared at your handwriting. He looked down at the large box that was on his lap, debating whether to open it or not. Baekhyun sighed as he lifted the cover, staring at various bottles of medications.
"What the hell!?" Baekhyun exclaimed, wide eyed
He grabbed the bottles, noticing they were expensive. Baekhyun covered the box and shook his head, setting it aside as he closed his eyes. He turned to see his phone ring, a number appearing.
"Hyun?" Baekhyun whispered, confused
Baekhyun ignored the call before his phone rang again, earning him glares from the staff. He bowed in apology and answered the call, his eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
"Hello?" Baekhyun asked, wide eyed
"OPPA! IT'S ME!" You screamed
"Ji Hyun-ssi?" Baekhyun asked, confused
"Yeah, it's me!" You said, laughing
"How did you get my number?" Baekhyun asked, frowning
"I put mine in your phone when you were sleeping." You said, chuckling
"Why?" Baekhyun asked, wide eyed
"Because I wanted to." You answered
"Are you feeling better?" Baekhyun asked, sighing
"Of course. Oh! Oppa! Did you get the present I sent you?" You asked, your voice full of excitement
"I did but I can't accept it." Baekhyun said, shaking his head
"Why not!? It's a present. Besides, you gave me your bottle so I'm giving you some." You argued, frowning
Before Baekhyun could respond, he began to cough violently, blood squirting out of his mouth. He held onto his chest, wheezing as he struggled to breathe. The phone slipped out of his fingers as he began to shake, the bed squeaking loudly. He closed his eyes as his breathing slowed down, his heart slowly coming to a halt.
"Oppa!? OPPA!?" You called out, the phone still on
The doctors rushed into the room, getting the defibrillator as they began to perform CPR. Baekhyun's body was thrown forward, the monitor slowly beeping before it went dead. After several minutes, Baekhyun was finally revived, his heart pumping again but rather slowly.
"Agassi, welcome home." The maids said, bowing
"I'll be in my room." You said, smiling
"Did you take your medicine already?" They asked, smiling
"Yeah, I already did." You said, nodding your head
You headed upstairs and into your room, locking the door before you jumped onto your bed. You pulled out your phone and stared at it, smling as you dialed Baekhyun's number.
"Oh! He rejected me!" You said, wide eyed
You redialed and stared at your phone, frowning as Baekhyun answered. You began to jump up and down in place as you talked with Baekhyun, holding back your laughter as he talked, his voice soft and quiet. You looked down when you heard a familiar monitor go off, loud coughs heard in the background.
"Oppa!? OPPA!?" You screamed, wide eyed
You got out of bed and ran to the door, hearing voices and beeping. You slipped into your shoes and ran out the door, ignoring the maids as they tried to follow after you. You managed to get to the main road and grabbed a taxi, breathing heavily.
"Oppa, please be safe." You murmured, blinking back tears
You made it to the hospital and reached Baekhyun's room, bumping into someone by the door. You bowed before you walked to Baekhyun's bed, noticing the breathing tube placed in his mouth. You sat down besides him and stared, a worried expression on your face.
"Oppa? Are you okay?" You whispered, holding onto Baekhyun's hand
"He'll live. He's managed to make it this far." Someone called out, his voice full of anger
'Yellow turns into red.'
'Red turns into yellow.'
"Byun Baekhyun." Suho whispered, pacing back and forth
He turned to stare at the panels, his gazing at the yellow switches. Suho sat back down and and his hands hovered over the switches, his fingers twitching as if wanting to press them.
He was the time keeper after all. Suho was the one who decided who died and who lived. He was the one who could easily turn off any switch, he had the power to do so.
But was stopping him? What was keeping him from doing just that?
Suho stood up and began to pace, eyeing his jacket hanging besides the door. He shook his head as he grabbed it, deciding to head back to the hospital, a small smirk on his face.
"Byun Baekhyun, you are one lucky man." Suho murmured, nodding his head
*Beep*
*Beep*
*Beep*
"Oppa? Are you okay?" You called out, staring at Baekhyun
He turned to see you, his eyes full of pain yet soft. Baekhyun nodded his head, unable to speak as he stared at you. You smiled widely and turned to face Suho, watching as he came forward.
"He's feeling better." You said, smiling
"I see." Suho answered, his face blank
"Oppa, Suho-ssi came to visit you. I think he's worried about you." You said, blinking
Suho turned to look at you and smirked, shaking his head lightly. He turned to face Baekhyun and forced himself to smile, bowing slightly as he examined Baekhyun carefully.
'What's keeping him alive?'
"Have you been feeling well?" Suho asked, staring at Baekhyun
Baekhyun nodded lightly and pulled his hand away from you, sitting up as he began to cough. You stood up and adjusted the pillows, smiling as he turned to look at you, blinking at you.
"What? I was worried when you started coughing. I heard it through the phone." You said, shrugging
'You should leave.'
"No, I don't mind staying here. Besides, this is like my second home." You said, crossing your arms
'I'm feeling better. You should leave.'
"Do you want me to check? I know you're getting worse." You said, rolling your eyes
'Ji Hyun-ssi.'
"Baekhyun-ssi." You said, frowning
Suho stared at the both of you, his eyes wide before they narrowed. He shook his head and walked out of the room, his mind racing. Suho stepped into the elevator, his watch guiding him back to the panel.
'Tick. Tock.'
'Tick. Tock.'
"Let's see how this plays out." Suho murmured, smirking as he grabbed his clipboard
