Friday Afternoon
Weekly LoverI'm sorry.
Jongin heard Kyungsoo's voice, like a distant sound coming from somewhere but it's undeniably Kyungsoo's cool sweet voice. Despite the fever,
Jongin allowed himself to be submerged in the dream if it meant hearing more of his lover's voice. He did wonder for a moment why the voice was
apologizing, but before he can process the thought, the voice spoke again.
I'm sorry if I'm the one here and not... Sehun.
Jongin sat bolt upright, his hed screaming in protest with the sudden action but he ignored it. His heavy eyelids forced open and his blurry vision
willed to focus on the short figure at his bedside. There was no room for doubt as his eyes focused on the person next to him. Kyungsoo. Teary-
faced-Kyungsoo looking at him with surprise in his face.
After the eye contact, Kyungsoo slammed his face in his palms, trying to hide tears that has no plans of stopping. He stood up and dashed off for
the door, intending to escape the room as soon as possible. Jongin, momentarily forgetting his fevered state, fully being consumed by the sole
image of Kyungsoo's tears, got off his bed to follow the older boy, only to crash flat on the floor. His already muddled consciousness, threatened
to slip away from him, but Jongin was not ready to pass out, especially not now when he saw Kyungsoo crying next to him.
He tried to get up, but there was no strength in his arms to lift himself. He tried once again and only managed to get back on the bed with the help
of two shaking, yet strong arms.
"What were you thinking, you idiot?" Kyungsoo, still tear-stained came to Jongin's view. He was scolding the younger but with how much his
voice was shaking, his tone came out weak and fragile.
Despite the lack of strength in his body, Jongin still managed to grab Kyungsoo's hand, in fear that he might escape again like what he did yesterday
and what he just tried to do earlier. Jongin might've let it happen before, but he's not going to play dumb anymore, not when Kyungsoo looked in so
much pain.
His right hand maintained its grip on Kyungsoo's left while he let his left hand wipe his lover's tears, but the older evaded his hand. Dejected, Jongin
let his hand drop and resorted to asking, for now.
"Why are you crying?" he said in his hoarse, sick-stained voice. He even ignored the throbbing pain of his throat, none of it matters now, all that matters
is that he get to have a talk with Kyungsoo.
Kyungsoo's right hand instinctively wiped his face, feigning a smile and letting out a forced laugh.
"I just got something in my eye." he lied, as his tears went against everything he said. It continued to flow non-stop from his reddened eyes.
"W.. Wha... What's wrong with me? I... I'm fine. Just..." and he continued to wipe his face hastily, trying to act okay but failing miserably.
"Soo... Soo, please tell me. Please." Jongin begged, he kept ignoring the screaming protest of his whole body rejecting all of his movements, most
especially the strength he was summoning to keep his grip on Kyungsoo's hand. Again, he tried to bring his other hand to Kyungsoo's face to wipe
those small drops of water that keeps on betraying Kyungsoo's lies. But this time, the older didn't simply evade his hand, he swatted it and yanked
his other hand free from Jongin's grip.
"Can you please stop being so nice to me?!" he said, shaking like a cornered animal as he backed off towards the wall. "I don't know what to do
anymore!" he continued, breaking down on the spot when his back reached the wall. "Stop it. Please. Just stop." he grabbed his head, curling himself
up into a ball and murmuring pleads Jongin failed to understand.
Jongin just stared at him, dumbfounded by everything. His fevered head failed to process the situation, he's only sure about one thing. Kyungsoo is
hurt, and the reason is him.
Even though he wanted to run to Kyungsoo's side, he slowly stood up in order to avoid falling again. When he got to his feet, his vision whirled but he
managed to keep standing. Carefully, he approached Kyungsoo who has successfully made his already small figure even smaller.
Jongin opened his arms and locked Kyungsoo in his cage, settling his cheek on top of his lover's head. Kyungsoo tried to br
