"Jonghyun hyung!', Jaehyuk cheered. 

Changjo hurriedly went up to him. "Jaehyuk. Is something wrong? What happened? Are you hurt? You need help? Where's your sister!!!???".

"Eiii hyung. One question at a time!", the little boy complained. "First, I'm fine. Second, nothing happened to me, and third, I'm not deaf darn it!!"

Jaehyuk glared at him earning a smack on his head.

"Oww! What was that for!?", Jaehyuk whined.

"Don't you darn it darn it me you little boy. Aish! You're so young yet disrespectful"

The boy pouted. 

"Mianhae hyung"

Changjo cheekily grinned at him. "I was just kidding Jaehyuk. I'm not mad.", he chuckled.

"But are you sure you're alright?"

"Positive hyung"

The elder one sighed in relief. 

"But hyung. This other hyung really crept me out today", Jaehyuk saId.

Changjo creased his eyebrows. "What do you mean?"

"Some hours ago, this hyung who was in a coma just came alive today"

*Ljoe hyung!?*, he thought.

"Then the weird thing is...it was like nothing even happened to him."

*Yup, it is Ljoe hyung*, he confirmed.

"You scared?", Changjo asked.

"Not just scared, I'm crept out! Jonghyun hyung! He even glared at the nurses"

"Heh. Typical him.", Changjo chuckled.

Jaehyuk looked at him. "You know him hyung?"

"E-eh? A-aniyo", he defended.

"Ah, arasseo. I though you knew him".

Changjo shook his head and just hugged him. *Mianhae Jaehyuk-ah. You'll just be even more frightened if you knew we were friends.*

They talked about random things until it was night time.

"Where's your sister again?"

"Noona said she needs to study for a big test tomorrow so she can't come", Jaehyuk told him.

*Oh right, it's our Physics test. I need to review too.*, he mentally stated.

"Okay, sleep time boy", Changjo said.

Jaehyuk made a face. "Hyung, it's just 9".

"Yeah, and it's way past your bed time", he noted.

Jaehyuk held up his hands in defeat.

He lied down, Changjo covering the blankets over him.

"I wish I was like that coma boy", Jaehyuk said out of the blue.

Changjo looked at him questioningly.

"Why would you say that? It's not a good joke you know"

The little boy turned around to face him.

"I'm serious hyung", he said in a down-like tone.

"He slept for months. Almost a year. But when he woke up, he was fine"

"When will I get well". Jaehyuk said, almost at the verge of crying.

Changjo looked at the boy pitifully. 

He thought the boy had a point. Ljoe was out for mere months then became healthy again. While this boy, Jaehyuk, suffered his whole life spending his days in a hospital bed. 

It wasn't fair. Life wasn't fair.

"I wish I was him hyung. I wish"

The older boy patted his back and squeezed him tightly. 

"Don't say that Jaehyuk. You'll get well soon, ara? You'll recover", Changjo said, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Now go to sleep. You'll feel better in the morning."

The little one nodded his head and went into deep slumber.

Changjo kissed his forehead.

"My little brother, stay stong. For me. And for your sister" *Yerie*

And with that, he left.
