"So... you and Byunghun-hyung hadn't call each other yet?", Jonghyun leaned on the loading dock's wall.
"Nope", Daniel said, sipping his cigarette. His problem with Byunghun and packed up rehearsal frustrated him much that he needed to smoke again.
"Isn't it better to admit all?", asked Jonghyun.
"I wanted to, but... it felt like a defeat, ok. I already confessed first, I sacrificed my time for him, now it's the time for him to come forward. I mean, how hard it could be? for God sake, I even started to understand Chanhee-hyung's frustration over him, you know", Daniel rolled his eyes and blew away the smoke from his mouth.
"Tsk... but it's not good for you both if you insisted to do this", Jonghyun sighed, took another cigarette for himself.
"I don't really care, I can have another him in a minute", said Daniel as he lighted up Jonghyun's cig.
"Whoa... Daniel the Don Juan, eh? pride is no.1 deadly sin, don't you remember?", said Jonghyun.
"Yeah right", Daniel chuckled.

"You do love him though, I could see that", said Jonghyun.
"Why are you so sure?", Daniel scoffed.
"Since you have this massive ego, it's pretty rare to see you wait and listen to someone. You did that a lot when you're with Byunghun-hyung. You paid attention to him carefully", said Jonghyun.
"God. I pay attention to everyone!", said Daniel.
"But it's different, who could pay attention to st-stuttered words from Byunghun-hyung, and all his unusual conversation topics?", Jonghyun chuckled.
"Hahaha... yeah. He's interesting", Daniel sighed.
"Go and see him after the show", said Jonghyun.
"Humm"
"It's the time to settle on a relationship, don't fling here and there", said Jonghyun.
"Who are you? my mom doesn't even care that much", Daniel chuckled.
"Well... I just hate to see people getting hurt by your indecision", said Jonghyun.

Daniel stared at him.
"It's not the first, okay... you broke many girls' heart before, but yet you come to me crying like it wasn't your fault", Jonghyun sighed.
"Yah, I never come to you crying!", Daniel exclaimed.
"You did that a lo~ okay, drunk and crying. That's why you always forget it in the next morning", said Jonghyun.
"Really?"
"Yeah! this world needs a super woman like Soojoo to handle you really", said Jonghyun.

"Don't say that. We're over each other now. Your words are not fair for Byunghun-hyung", Daniel whispered as he his cig deep.
Jonghyun looked at his best friend closely. He could read him like the back of his hand. He knew that Daniel suffered inside but didn't want to admit it. When he finally realized that his selfishness was wrong usually it was already too late.
"Yah, Jonghyunnie... could you do something for me?", Daniel pulled out something from his shirt pocket.
"What's that?", Jonghyun stared at the blue capsule pack on Daniel's hand.
"Byunghun-hyung left it on our apartment. It's his respiratory medicine, I guess?", Daniel tried to remember.
"What?! you have to return it quickly!", Jonghyun exclaimed.
"I want to, but I... please, could you give it to him?", Daniel pleaded.
"Aish. Your ego is endangering someone's life now, you crazy bastard~!", Jonghyun took the medicine from Daniel's hand.

"Where's your key?", asked Jonghyun as he stepped on his cig.
"Ah... this...", Daniel handed him his car keys.
"This time only, okay... God, I'm tired fixing up your relationship", Jonghyun sighed and walked toward the parking lot.
"He was at the Korea University Hospital in Ansan now. He had his scheduled medical check up today!", Daniel yelled.
Jonghyun just gave him a thumb up from distance. He went into the car with annoyed face.

"Aish, really... why did I agree to do this?", he talked to himself as he started the engine.
It was almost 3 when he arrived at the hospital, he asked for Lee Byunghun and the receptionist told him to go to the VIP room at the 5th floor. He entered the room hesitantly. Byunghun was there, lying unconsciously with IV lines all over his arms. Jonghyun put the capsules carefully on the table. But it was loud enough to woke Byunghun up.
"Mom?", Byunghun mumbled.
"No, hyung, it's me...", Jonghyun whispered.

"Ng? Jonghyun...?", Byunghun opened his eyes slowly.
"Yes it's me", Jonghyun smiled awkwardly and helped Byunghun to sit straight.
"What are you doing here?", Byunghun coughed.
"I um... I delivered your medicine...", Jonghyun took a glance on the table unsurely. Byunghun still coughed and picked the medicine.
"Ah... I looked for these yesterday, but we couldn't find it so my mom took me here. I- I was...", Byunghun drowned into coughs again and wrapped himself in blanket; "Why is it so cold lately?", he snorted. Jonghyun helped him to tidy up the blanket. He noticed that Byunghun was getting skinnier.
"I feel sorry for you, hyung... Daniel... he's really...", Jonghyun sighed.
"He couldn't deliver the medicine himself? He must have a packed up rehearsals... I understand", Byunghun smiled bitterly.

"Yeah, but that's pretty heartless to held someone's medicine like that", said Jonghyun.
"It's okay though, I already have the replacement from the doctor", said Byunghun, tightened the blanket and pulled the duvet up to his chest.
Jonghyun's eyes traveled to the hydrangeas on the other table beside Byunghun’s bed.
"Ah, I thought hydrangea's season is over?", asked Jonghyun.
"Huh? I don't think so... it's raining a lot isn't it?", replied Byunghun.
"Really? one florist told us that the hydrangeas season was over. It was after you gave Daniel a bouquet of hydrange
