The next morning, Sungmin doesn't feel really well, literally. Given the fact that he cried almost the whole
night, he officially has a clogged nose, and walking under the snow last night wasn't really a good idea; he's
head is aching. Still, he has to work and apologize for walking away from his boss.

He went to work with his head aching and his nose clogging and his heart aching... and everything.

He opened the Manager's office and saw Siwon sitting there with a smile.

"Boss... about last night..." he started, but that's not what Siwon noticed, he noticed his pale, sickly look and
his puffy eyes.

"Sungmin sshi... are you ok?" Boss asked with much concern. Sungmin smiled. "I'm fine. I'm sorry about-"

"Forget it, then again, you missed a lot of good songs. You should have stayed a little longer."
Sungmin looked down and just force a smile. He walked away and back to his desk.

In the afternoon, he wasn't feeling any better at all. He's vision is getting blurry and he's really feeling feverish.
A call from the intercom startled him a bit. "Sungmin sshi... can you give me the hard copy for the advertisement
plan for Masi wine?"

Siwon was saying a little bit more than that but he was too dizzy, he wasn't able to understand. He slowly took the
files and knocked at the door before entering. Siwon became more worried when he saw the almost no colour-face of Sungmin.

"Sungmin sshi... I think you need a rest. I don't want any of my employee saying I'm pressuring them..." he joked.
Sungmin smiled and was about to leave but--

"Sungmin sshii... Sungmin sshii!" Siwon cried in panic as Sungmin's body betrayed him and fell unconscious before he even
knew it. The boss
walked towards him and realised that the short guy is burning with fever.

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

"Sungmin-ah... Lee Sungmin..." Kyuhyun called in his mind as he continuously run. He finally arrived in the hospital, half
an hour after Siwon called him in panic, he almost got crazy, he doesn't know how he took his jacket and reached the clinic
by just running. He saw Sungmin lying down unconscious, he went inside the room and completely ignored Siwon, he touched
his former lover's forehead and held his hand shortly and pressed it.

"I knew he doesn't look well...and suddenly he fainted but the doctor said he'll be fine..." Siwon said to
Kyuhyun although its as if he didn't hear a thing.

Kyuhyun followed the drippings and is about to take out Sungmin's syringe when Siwon stopped him. "What the
hell are you doing?"

Kyuhyun looked at him sharply and pulled his arm away from the Boss and continued trying to take off the syringe.
Siwon held him tightly and looked at him sharply as well. "Are you crazy?!" he asked almost raising his voice.

"Back off..." Kyuhyun said but Siwon held him tightly, he cannot move his arms.

"I don't know what is going on between the two of you now but whatever you are doing, which I don't find sane at all,
stop it right now. Can't you see? He is damn sick!" he said with much concern in his voice.

Little did they noticed that Sungmin opened his eyes and looked around, when he finally realised that he is inside
the hospital, his eyes turned watery and felt scared as he covered his face, trying not to see his surrounding...
and then he called...

"Kyuhyun-ah!" he called in a broken voice, hoping Kyuhyun is indeed there. He hates hospitals the most, he doesn't
like it there, he feels lifeless whenever he is inside such place and it scares him. Right now, he really wishes
Kyuhyun could hold his hands. He was just hoping...

Kyuhyun and Siwon looked at him as he called in a much louder voice... "Kyuhyun-ah!" like hallucinating, he tried
calling Kyuhyun, even though it is impossible for him to come since his former lover is unaware of what is happening.

Still covering his face, Sungmin tried to stretch one of his shaking arm hoping for Kyuhyun or for whoever someone to
reached out for him, he was surprised to hear a whisper. The only whisper that could calm his frightened heart.

"I'm here..." Sungmin felt a relief when he heard Kyuhyun... but being in a hospital is like hell for him...

"Take me away from here..." Sungmin cried. Kyuhyun finally take off the syringe in his arm and carried him up.
He carried Sungmin, who is still covering his face and hiding it on his chest. Kyuhyun stopped and looked at Siwon...

"It's not like I'm not thankful for what you did... but just so you know, if there is anything Sungmin doesn't want...
its hospital."
he said and walked away carrying the short guy in his arms. Siwon was left inside the room looking at the two guys.

---------------------------
Finally they reached their house through a cab, Kyuhyun carried him until they reached their former bed, Sungmin is
still covering his face. Kyuhyun pitied his ex-lover for being sick and scared at the same time, he brushed Sungmin's
hair and whispered...

"It's ok, Sungmin-ah... we're home." Sungmin slowly took his hands off his face and looked around, seeing the
familiar surroundings he was able to feel better, he looked at Kyuhyun and shyly said...

"Kyuhyun-ah... stay with me for a while." Kyuhyun smiled gently and held his hands until he fell asleep.
