Fool's Gold
Love at fourth sight?"Hongsik-hyung, can you help me with my resignation letter?" I asked when I heard the door open and close.
The nurse had brought me back to my room after rehab, and had positioned me to sit by the window 'to appreciate the scenery ' as she had said. All i saw was white, as the snow had covered everything.
I turned around to look at the manager, as he was awfully quiet, but what I saw was a dark haired male, standing still in the middle of the room.
Great. Why does he catch me during the worst possible times?
"Wonho-hyung"
"Hey, um, sorry I'm not Hongsik-hyung" he replied, hands rubbing the back of his neck.
"I-it's fine" i tried to look anywhere but him "you wanna sit down, or something?"
He sat at the chair across mine, and he looked at me like he wanted to say something but he just stayed quiet.
"you guys dont have a schedule today?" i asked, the silence was just too uncomfortable, i really dont want to be alone in the same room as Wonho, he makes me feel so small.
"nope, today's our day off" he replied
So then why is it just you here? I'd rather see Hyungwon-hyung at this point.
I nodded my head and looked back out the window, wishing i could be anywhere but here.
"so... You're thinking of leaving the group?" Wonho asked, I stiffened at his question, i continued to stare out the window, not wanting to look at him. He's probably thinking that I should've quit sooner.
"yeah" what else was there to be said? It's not like he came here coz he cared, he probably came here coz he wanted to hear it for himself. I frowned at the thought. I'm finally quitting, so you can rejoice now.
"why?" he asked. My head turned towards him so fast i thought I'd get a whiplash, his face was filled with concern.
"like you said, hyung, I'm just bringing you guys down" i started "i don't fit in with you guys, it'd be better if i left rather than force you guys to tolerate me"
Wonho looked at me incredulously, like i had said something absurd.
"they like you" wonho states.
They. not including YOU.
"you dont have to lie to me hyung. I get why you guys hate me. I ruined everything for you guys" i replied.
At that Wonho immediately stood up from his seat and the next thing i knew my face was buried in his shirt. He held onto me tightly and although i liked the warmth initially, he was hugging me too tightly almost cutting off my air supply, i struggled under his hold, trying to pull his arms away. He let go of me after a few seconds, "I'm trying to comfort you here, don't be an " he says
"comfort me? By trying to suffocate me?" i asked. And i dont know what triggered it, but he laughed at me, like i had just said the funniest thing ever. It was a high pitched laugh, one I've never heard personally before.
"you're really something else, kid" he reached his hand out and ruffled my hair, at that moment Hongsik-hyung entered the room carrying what i assumed to be some take-away food. The manager helped me transfer and get settled into my bed, we ate the chinese food he bought, and after a while they said they had to leave.
I'd be lying if i said i wasn't sad at them leaving, but i knew they had other things to work on and that Wonho-hyung needed to rest.
"Hongsik-hyung, can i stay here overnight?" Wonho asked. I looked up at him, honestly, his attitude did a 180 and now he's being overly nice to me. It felt a bit weird, but the good kind.
Hongsik-hyung looked at me and said "i dont really mind, but Changkyun?"
"I- i dont mind" i said a bit too quickly and i heard Wonho chuckle beside me. I'm sure my face is as red as a tomato right about now. After manager agreed to let him stay the night, he left us to inform the company of Wonho's whereabouts.
I felt the blanket lift up a bit, i looked at Wonho questioningly "scoot over a bit so we can fit" he said, i shuffled a bit, making some room for him. He laid down on the bed, grabbing my shoulder and forcing me to snuggle close to him. I swear if this is all a dream, I'd rather not wake up. Ever.
Wonho was warm, and being in his arms felt comfortable,i found myself dozing off after a few minutes. "Changkyun, let's start over, yeah?"
I nodded my head and snuggled closer to his side. And in my drowsiness, I'm not sure if it was real or an illusion, but i felt like Wonho kissed the top of my head.
