Protective

 

Eunhyuk was spacing out, staring at the view of the whole seoul night provided from his apartment heights . It was always breathtaking but not tonight though , the owner of the house seems like in a deep thoughts. It's true anyway , clearly eunhyuk was bothers by what siwon has told him yesterday. After siwon left , eunhyuk spent almost a day thinking about it . He didn't even felt like eating at all this whole day as the thought was vanishing his appetite . What did siwon actually means by hae losing his eyesight . No , That can't be happening to him , is he really becoming blind after that car crash . Is donghae being blind because of him .

 

To tell the truth , eunhyuk really wants to barge into donghae's ward room since the first time he heard of the news , to see by himself how badly is his injuries . But , he really don't have the guts to do so . Thus , if heechul were to know about this misunderstandings between him and donghae that leads to the car accident , surely heechul and probably the other hyungs wouldn't take it slight . Even after siwon has assured him that nothing is his fault but What if the hyungs opinions was otherwise, what if they all hating and blaming on him over what happened to hae . 

 

What was lingering inside Eunhyuk's mind was different with what his heart are telling him , without him realising , he was following what his heart want as he grabs his car key and jacket , and found himself driving in his black audi heading to the hospital to visit donghae . Finally . 

**

Meanwhile, at the hospital, donghae was left alone in his ward , it's already night and the lights inside his room was switch off except for the small lamp at the bedside . He was supposed to be sleeping and resting but there he is doing nothing but only spacing out while sitting up right on his bed . Sungmin had done doing a little check up on him thoroughly and all sorts of body examination needed including testing on how his leg are healing. According to sungmin, his leg will needs at least 2-3 weeks to fully heal with special care of course. Which means , no active movement and instead, the hospital will provides a wheelchair for donghae to move around easier . 

Staring straight at whatever in front of him which never matter anymore as all that he see now is a total darkness . Slowly donghae placed his hand on his right leg under the knee where he got it injured. It's no longer bandaged but he could feel a little pain as his hand massages the area lightly . He was alone tonight as leeteuk needs to rush back to settle some things at the company , he promised to come back after a few hours after all is good . Donghae understood and didn't mind at all knowing that leeteuk is not only his older cousin but also a vice president of sj group . At least that's how he act in front of leeteuk when the older was summoned to the company through a phone call. Donghae even pretend to sleep to make leeteuk felt at ease , he won't be gone long anyway . 

Now , that no one was with him for a short period of time . Donghae wanted to try do things on his own , he was planning to go to the toilet which he thought that that won't be any problem since there's a toilet provided in his ward and leeteuk had once helped him to use the toilet . He puts down his injured leg off the bed , before the other one makes it way to do the same . After both his feets reach the floor, his hands stretches wide open to touch anything that could lead him to the toilet and to prevent himself from bumping onto anything that were on his way . He didn't bothers to put on the slippers as he slowly tried to walks on his own two feets . However, right after he took a step ahead, donghae felt a massive pain at his injured leg which caused him to lose control over his body weight and immediately falling down onto the cold floor . Donghae gasped in pain as his both hands was pressing his injured leg . Too busy to realised that someone was opening his wards door . 

"DONGHAE!!" The owner of the name was a little startled after hearing a familiar voice shouts out to him . Donghae immediately turns his face to the direction of the loud voice . It's not leeteuk who promised to get back here as soon as possible, certainly not heechul , yesung or siwon . Sungmin just came visited him a while ago and he obviously was working right now . 

" are you okay?" Eunhyuk waste no more times after seeing the other on the floor . He rush to helps the other getting back to the bed . Donghae couldn't help but to get clingy over eunhyuk , he instinctively placed his arms around eunhyuk's neck.  Even though he did felt a little humiliation and embarrassed to be all clingy when the things between him and eunhyuk wasn't yet fixed , but right now he was desperate and a little scared as there's no one else here beside eunhyuk . The fact that he was unable to see and he couldn't even move one of his leg without feeling pain making him feelings vulnerable and unsafe. 

" where are you going .. were you trying to go to the toilet? let me help you ... " donghae immediately pull his hands off eunhyuk after being put back sitting on the bedside. Eunhyuk was slightly bending his body to be at the same height level as donghae by placing each of his palms on the bedside at the right and left of donghae . His eyes was fill with concerns as he looks right into donghae's eyes . Seeing the other who was wearing hospital's outfit staring blankly at him and didn't blinking even once making his heart aching so badly . So , it's true . Donghae , his soulmate , his best friends , his other half was becoming blind and that's all because of him . Eunhyuk immediately face downwards avoiding the other's face . Looking at the floor as he didn't want to be seen crying in front of donghae even though he knew that donghae would see nothing eitherway.  

Feeling a pair of arms pushing him away , eunhyuk immediately lifts his face up to see donghae struggling again to stand on his two feets . Eunhyuk held one of donghae's wondering hand to offers help but donghae refused and pushes him away instead . "Donghae ... " eunhyuk begin to cry silently . Seeing the other rejecting his help , he felt like donghae didn't want him to be here , even though donghae wasn't saying anything but his body language was enough to tell him that his present wasn't needed. Again , donghae was about to lose balance and almost landed to the floor harshly again if not because of eunhyuk who catch him just in time. At least eunhyuk was the one hurting when he quickly throw himself to the floor first and was able to get donghae landing safely without hurting. 

Donghae unexpectedly stay still for a moment. "Why are you here... are you done humiliating me?  Get out please ..." donghae coldly said . His eyes staring at where he thought that the other was at as he couldn't really be sure exactly . Eunhyuk was silent as he see a drop of tear streaming down donghae's cheek before he heard someone entering the room . "DONGHAE..." it's heechul's voice and the both of them recognised right away who is the owner of the voice .

"Hey ... what's going on here ... donghae are you okay? Why are you two on the floor ? " Eunhyuk back away from donghae as heechul approach them , letting the older to help donghae . It's good things that heechul was here . Eunhyuk was somehow glad and grateful about it. He turns his face behind to secretly wipes his tears away . Of course he was hurt by donghae's cold words just now but what can he do , he don't have the rights to say anything as he was the one to be blamed anyway. 

"It's nothing . I fell down while trying to go to the toilet by myself..." donghae said as heechul pulls him up .

" hae ...  you should call someone to help you ...I'm sorry I was late..." The older placed donghae's arm around his neck and lead him to where the toilet are with a very slow steps one by one . Donghae was about to ask heechul about why he was here and not leeteuk , but he stays silent and decides to wait a little.  "Hyuk .. don't go anywhere. I have something to talk to you .. " heechul stop his steps for a moment . He turns his face to looks at eunhyuk as he spoke .

Eunhyuk on the other hand felt out of place . He nods slightly upon hearing heechul's words , obeying the older's commands . His feets somehow felt rather heavier at the moment as he force himself to waits outside of donghae's vip ward . Heechul saw the strange atmosphere between the two and he knew he had to finds out the cause of it . 

Donghae now was back to his bed . Lying comfortably as heechul pulls the blanket covering donghae's body up to his chest. "Jung soo is going to be long at the company. You knew how the company's current state right now ... it's a chaos . With the president being ill .. " heechul said.  He knew he shouldn't be informing more problems to the younger but he just couldn't help it . Donghae actually has the rights to know about the company since he isn't an outsider.  Just like heechul and leeteuk , donghae also works at SJ GROUP as an executive director . Being the favourite family member, his grandfather who is also the president of the company named him as one of the biggest shareholders in the company which not a lot of people knew since donghae often neglect his works and have not much interest in helping leeteuk managing the company. 

"I understand... don't worry.  But, when teukie hyung will bring me home?.. he promised to get me out of here .." donghae knew he may sounds like a child but he didn't care much . He always knew that he won't have to act all strong and mature in front of heechul and leeteuk . 

Heechul smiles very small . He thought that donghae sounds so cute talking like that . Just like a five years old child asking for his dad , heechul stares at the other on the bed with a rather sad eyes . It's been only few days , but heechul already missed donghae's childlike behaviour, his childish side , cheerful hae . Heechul reach out his hands to donghae's under the blanket . Squeezing donghae's pale and cold hands as he takes a moment being silent .

"I'm sure jungsoo already talk with sungmin but I will talk again with him tomorrow ..  for now , Sleep tight okay .. you needs a lot of rest . I will be here all night ... " heechul had donghae's hand in his own . He kisses donghae's backhand affectionately. "Okay. Don't leave me here alone hyung ..." donghae spoke softly almost like a whispers . He turns his body to lays on his side where heechul was sitting at . Eyes shut closed and he tried to sleep with hand holding tight with heechul's hands just to prevent him from leaving . 

 

**

 

Outside of donghae's ward , there he is sitting on the bench . Just like how heechul requested of him , eunhyuk has been waiting for more than an hours that's for sure since he was lost track of time . Being deep in his own thoughts , eunhyuk wasn't even bothers to move a muscle until he heard the door was pulled opened from the inside and heechul steps out of donghae's vip ward . Heechul take a seat right beside eunhyuk and sigh heavily.  "I'm sorry ..I took long . I was waiting for donghae to fall asleep " heechul had a serious expression as he stares at his hands which he had difficulty to free them from the tight hold of donghae's grip just now . Even in his sleep, donghae still wouldn't let go of heechul's hands . 

"It's okay.... " eunhyuk really don't mind . He knew too well how donghae is . 

"What's wrong with you hyukjae-yah? " heechul bring his face to looks at the younger.  Getting slightly annoyed at how he was acting . It's not like how the normal lee hyukjae would act .

Eunhyuk didn't say anything but just stares down to his hands. 

"You didn't came yesterday. The day before yesterday when donghae was being  admitted to the ICU  here also you didn't show your face . I thought you two was soulmate?  What happened? " heechul spoke again . He has asked siwon before but the latter told him to go and ask eunhyuk by himself.  

"I'm sorry hyung ..." 

"I don't want to hears you apologising . Tell me everything. I knew that you know what happened before donghae got into the accident. I want to know what cause all of this .. " heechul was getting more annoyed. He stood up from the bench to get a better looks of eunhyuk by standing right in front of him . 

"It's all my fault hyung ..." 

"What do you mean ?" Heechul control his voice . Trying his best to calm his anger . He certainly didn't like it to hurt eunhyuk's feeling . 

" donghae was mad at me . He saw me on the same bed with goo hara . He thought that his girlfriend has an affair with me .." eunhyuk said briefly. Tears started to fill in his eyes .

"The are you talking about... why would you do that? Goo hara is donghae's fiancee you of all people especially new that better .." heechul couldn't help but curse as his brain finds it hard to process the short explanation. "Wait... don't tell me..." heechul finally get a hold of the true story. Of course, eunhyuk would never slept on the same bed with hara unless hara had done something to makes him do that . Heechul somehow have known hara way before she is going to be engaged to donghae . That cocky girl actually never took her marriage with donghae seriously , she just do what she was told for her own benefits . Unlike donghae, hara wasn't really love donghae to the extent of she was willing to married him , like a typical heiress of wealthy family , hara simply agreed with the engagement to obeyed her parents wishes . Same things goes to donghae at first as his grandfather wanted to have a collaboration with KARA GROUP , and after spending a lot of times with hara , donghae grows to love her so dearly . That's how donghae is , he is one that's hard to open up to others but once he do , he gives his whole and ended up hurting instead. 

"It's doesn't matter what she has done .. I should have been more alert around her ... I m sorry hyung .." eunhyuk cupped his face as he spoke again . And heechul knew that the younger was crying under his hands that covered his face.  Heechul then decides to not ask anymore , he will figure out later on how to fix this problem between his two beloved younger brothers somehow later . For now , since leeteuk isn't here , he needs to plays his role as one good older brother . Heechul approach close to eunhyuk's side and pulls him in for his warm hug . Sending a telepathy message as to tell eunhyuk that it's not his fault and that it's okay to cry but better not to the extent of wetting his clothes. Eunhyuk relax himself, feeling thankful and comfortable being in the embrace of the older but he was still crying though . Heechul can be fierce and rough mostly but he do have soft side in him sometimes 

"Yahhh.... don't wet my shirt..."  heechul complaints but eunhyuk found it funny and chuckles.

Chapter 3: ugh Heechul you go explain. If Donghae doesn't want to be around Eunhyuk, then you need to tell him what happened because thats the only way Donghae will forgive Eunhyuk and Eunhyuk won't drown in guilt.
