Sunggyu had left the hospital, and was forced by the doctor and Woohyun to spend at least one week in his bed, without moving or making big movements. He couldn't stress himself and he couldn't even be around places where he would have big emotions. He had to fully recover before he could think about going back to teaching. Woohyun was making sure the older man did everything he was supposed to, he just never thought Sunggyu was so hard to work with. He always try to get up, he would always try to read, he would always try to grab his laptop and work, at least for two hours. Woohyun couldn't leave his side, or else the older would probably run away from the house and would work on his pajamas if he could. “God, won't you be still for just a minute?” Woohyun asked as he stole a couple of papers from Sunggyu's hands. He had no idea where he got them, but he was pretty sure the teacher had hidden it under the bed or pillows so he couldn't find a thing when he scanned the room. “I have to work, or else I'm going insane in this room!” Woohyun raised a brow and looked at him.

“I can't even get up without permission! For god's sake, I feel like I'm 5.” The younger man couldn't help but roll his eyes. He placed the papers on top of Sunggyu's desk and looked at Sunggyu. “I'm pretty sure a 5year old would be less annoying that you.” He couldn't believe he just said what he did, but Sunggyu's expression made him regret what he said right away. “God you're annoying! Why are you even here? I don't need a babysitter!” Sunggyu said looking straight into Woohyun's eyes. “Obviously you do, because I turn my back at you for 2minutes and you're already stressing yourself with work!”

Now Sunggyu was angry and it was visible on his eyes. Woohyun tried to ignore it, but it was too hard to do it. “Stressing? The only thing stressing me right now is you. The heart-attack didn't killed me, but you might!” Woohyun couldn't help but be hurt with those words. But he was pretty sure that maybe he pushed his luck a little too much and that was why Sunggyu was reacting like that. Woohyun started biting his lip. For some reason all he and Sunggyu did since they came from the hospital was fight, and they shouldn't be doing it. For many reasons, but manly because Sunggyu had to get better and in two days Woohyun would go back to that place and have his surgery.

He had to make sure Sunggyu was alright, so he could relax before he went under the knife. “Sometimes you can be cruel.” Woohyun whispered and the older looked up to him. He could see how hurt Woohyun was and he felt bad, he really did. He wasn't expecting the younger man to react like that, but he should know better. Woohyun was very sensitive and sometimes he would take seriously things he said, even if he shouldn't. He saw the younger man grab some papers on the floor and place them carefully on the desk.

He was thankful that Woohyun was taking care of him instead of preparing himself for his surgery, and he knew he wasn't making the younger man's life any easier either when he should. But the truth was he didn't want...he didn't want Woohyun to be attached to him. At least, not more. He didn't want him to have his hopes up because not only would the younger man be hurt but he would too. So he figured that being cold, mean and fight all the time would solve things. He took a fast glance to the younger man and saw his eyes shinning, tears forming on the corners. Every time they had a serious fight, he would hear Woohyun cry. It wasn't like he didn't had a heart. He did, and every time he heard the sad sobs it would so tight he could hardly breath. But he would rather have Woohyun hate him. It would be easier for both.

Sunggyu took a deep breath and looked down to his hands. What he was about to do, was something that would basically destroy everything he had been working for, but he felt like it had to be done, at least once. “...Come here.” He said, almost a whisper, but Woohyun managed to hear. He looked to the older man and saw him with his arm raised to him. “What?” he asked very confused. “Don't make me say it again. Just come here!” Woohyun grabbed Sunggyu's hand and when he felt Sunggyu pull him a little closer, he couldn't help but smile brightly. This never happened to him, and he couldn't help but feel that it was a good thing, that maybe it was Sunggyu's way of apologizing and saying he was thinking about a possible relationship between the two? Or maybe he was getting way ahead of himself and this meant nothing. Either way, when he seat next to the older man, he felt Sunggyu place his arm around his shoulder he couldn't help but feel his cheeks burn. He took it as a sign and made himself more comfortable and placed an arm around Sunggyu's waist and his head on the older man's chest.

Sunggyu didn't want to admit, and if someone asked him he would deny it, but it actually felt nice. It felt really nice to feel someone that close to him, it was nice to feel someone who was actually willing to be with him even thought he had one of the worst personalities known to man. He looked to Woohyun from the corner of his eyes and he saw the man smiling like an idiot and his shinning brightly. He continued staring and he has no idea for how long he kept looking, and he was so distracted and so focused on his own little world he didn't even realized the younger man was starting to stare at him.

“What?” Woohyun asked. He managed to move a little closer and held the older man a little more tightly but not too much. He was incredibly happy that he was being able to touch Sunggyu like that, but he also knew how much the older cherished his personal space, so he decided not to push his luck. “What what?” Sunggyu asked as he woke up from his thoughts. Woohyun smirked. “You were staring.” The older man just rolled his eyes, trying to hide how embarrassed he actually was. Woohyun continued looking at him, waiting for Sunggyu to say something, anything at all.

“I'm sorry.” He whispered and the younger started feeling the older man's hand on his shoulder shake. For some reason Sunggyu was starting to get nervous, but he decided to keep quiet. If Sunggyu wanted to speak, he would. If he didn't, Woohyun wouldn't force, even thought he really wanted to know. He wanted to know what Sunggyu meant in the hospital. He wanted to know what he meant by those words, he wanted to know what he was hiding.

He was pretty sure it was something big, something that maybe not everyone should know, but he had to. It wasn't like he felt like Sunggyu had to tell him because he shared something bit with the older man, but he certainly felt that he deserved to know. But they weren't in a relationship and he wasn't sure if they could be called friends, so he would take anything. He would take even the smallest smile from the older man. “....I think I should tell you what I started...back in the hospital, right?” Woohyun just nodded but didn't look to Sunggyu. Instead he looked to his right hand that was resting on the older man's waist at that moment. It felt so nice. It felt so perfect to have the older man's warm next to him. He was in seven heaven and nothing in his life would top this.

Well, maybe just one thing. “Tell me only if you want.” Woohyun whispered but then he felt the man's hand holding him closer. Woohyun was pretty sure this was even bigger than he previously thought. “I have to.” He continued waiting. He continued waiting for the words he wanted to hear. He took deep breaths and Woohyun could hear his heart beat going faster than it should. Sunggyu was suppose to relax, not to stress, but Woohyun's curiosity was taking over him. He continued looking to his hand and didn't say a single thing. He just wanted to hear, he had to hear. “When I was 24....I wasn't living in Korea.

I was in Europe, studying to be a teacher. There I found out things about me. I found out that girls do not catch my interest, I found out that I prefer classic literature than modern one and I found out....” He paused and he looked to Woohyun. The younger man looked right into his eyes and started biting his lower lip. The younger was pretty sure he was starting to have second doubts about this. He didn't want to know. He didn't know what the older man was going to say. “Sunggyu...is this something bad?” He asked and Sunggyu gave him a small smile. “It may be....” He said and Woohyun pressed his lips against the man's shirt, waiting for him to speak. Now he really wanted to know. “I.....I found out I've cancer...”
