Hongseok took exactly 15 minutes to get back, he did his best to get back as soon as possible, on his way home he called Hui, he found a dozen of missed calls from the older, he told him that Changgu wasn't feeling well and that he had to take care of him, he also told him that they talked and that the younger finally opened up to him, he didn't tell him what Changgu told him though, he didn't tell him about Changgu's past but Hui knew that it was something huge, Hongseok was just going on and on and on about Changgu 

"Hongseok-ah" Hui suddenly called for him from the other side of the line

"Are you ... I mean, aren't you just going a little too deep?"
Hui asked and honestly his question was fair, last time he checked Hongseok said that he didn't have feelings for Changgu and last time he checked too, Changgu wasn't gay.
 

Hongseok sighed "I think I am, going too deep, but I don't care, I'm trying my best"

Hongseok confessed and Hui sighed "Just take care okay, both of you, Changgu is vulnerable, he's going through a lot right now and he trusts you"

Hongseok smiled "I know, I'll do my best to take care of it"

Hongseok hang up the phone before he stepped into Changgu's place. He put the grocery bag on the small table, he could hear the water running so he yelled the boy's name to make sure he was okay

"Changgu?" and soon after Changgu yelled back "Yes?"
Hongseok laughed "Nothing just making sure you're okay"  

Hongseok was taking the grocery out from the shopping bag when he suddenly realised something, he lifted his head up trying to listen to something, the heater, the heater wasn't on, and then he realised Changgu was showering with cold water?

He jumped off his place and pratically run toward the closed bathroom door, "Changgu?" and he heard the water stop running,

"Are you, by any chance, showering on cold water?"

He asked behind the closed door and when the other didn't answer, he knew just like the other times when Changgu didn't answer, he knew that it was true

"I'm coming in" Hongseok said before he bursted inside, Changgu gasped, Hongseok grabbed the nearest towel and put it around Changgu's body coving him up, Hongseok focused his eyes on Changgu's face, he never looked anywhere else, he grabbed a second towel and covered Changgu's head and shoulders and suddenly he yelled

"Why on EARTH would you shower in cold water? It's freezing outside and you're sick" 

Hongseok held Changgu by the shoulders, the younger seemed a little taken aback

"Because there's no hot water" he answered trying to remain calm

"You should have told me" Hongseok lowered his tone "Wait here, let me get your clothes" he made Changgu sit on the toilet seat before he left to get the other's clothes. 

Hongseok opened the old rusty closet, it took him a second and not because it was messy but more because it was empty, it was the freezing month of december, Hongseok wanted to find something warm for Changgu but all what he could find was an oversized hoodie, he recognized it b
