Jongup’s mother and his friends were currently waiting for the result of the operation. “Youngjae-hyung, Jongup-hyung’s gonna be okay, right?” a blonde-haired boy said with his head hanged down.

The elder of the two boys smiled and rubbed the younger’s back, forcing himself to calm down despite the fact that their friend was in the verge of life and death. “Don’t worry, Junhong-ah, Jongup’s gonna be okay. He’s a strong guy...” the boy named Youngjae said in a calm tone.

Several minutes later, the doctor came out of the emergency room with few nurses behind him. They approached the three who were obviously anxious about the result. “Are you Moon Jongup’s relatives?” he asked politely. Jongup’s mother immediately stood up from her seat and approached the doctor.

“I’m his mother. Is my baby okay? He’s going to live, right?” she asked, worry could be seen in her eyes. The doctor smiled a bit. “Don’t worry, Mrs. Moon. The operation was successful, but . . .” the doctor paused a little; his face fell down together with the other nurses.

“. . .  his ribcage was severely injured, same goes for his left arm and left leg, forbidding him to walk for a couple of days. There’s also 10% possibility that he might suffer from amnesia. He has to stay in the hospital for a few more days in order for him to fully recover from the injuries” the doctor said.

“Mworago?! Amnesia???? Hyung’s gonna have an amnesia???” Junhong asked in panic, his eyes wide. Worry was already swallowing them.

“Calm down, Junhong-ah. It’s only 10%, so it’s impossible for that thing to happen. And even if he’d have amnesia, we’ll be here for him. Right, Mrs. Moon?” Youngjae said and looked at Mrs. Moon, hope could be seen in his eyes.

“Yes he is, Youngjae-ah... I’m really glad that my son has wonderful friends like you” she smiled sweetly and sincerely at the two boys. “Uhm, Mrs. Moon, excuse me for a moment. I’d be assigning a private nurse to watch over your son. Is that okay with you?” the doctor asked.

All three looked at each other and nodded, as if they were using their minds to communicate with each other. As if on cue, a blonde-haired nurse stepped forward and bowed to the three with a smile. “Don’t worry, Mrs. Moon. I’ll take care of your son”

* * *

After Mrs. Moon, Junhong and Youngjae left because the doctor had told them that it’s okay for them to leave and just come back tomorrow, Nurse Kim, or simply, Himchan did what he promised to do. He went to the room where Jongup was moved and watched over him until the morning came.

Not a blink of an eye, he slept.

He put on his ear phones to restrain himself from sleeping. He sat on the chair beside Jongup’s bed. Being a 22 year old, yet innocent guy he is, he just watched Jongup’s chest, rising and falling steadily.

Though Himchan is a guy, he couldn’t help but be mesmerized by the masculinity of the high school boy in front of him. His slightly tan skin, his noticeable Adam’s apple, his partly parted thin lips and everything about him had caught the nurse’s attention.

Himchan sat there and stared at the boy for good three hours and not blinking, without even noticing the time. It’s already 4am when he older boy felt sleepy and restless, up to the point that he can’t stand anymore.

Without him knowing it, he had already slept; his head rested on the edge of Jongup’s bed and his right hand placed near the other’s hand.

* * *

As if miracle had happened, Jongup woke up the very next day. The sunlight shone over him, making him squint his eyes and tried to cover them with his hand, but was caught in surprise when he felt a stinging pain when he tried to move his left arm.

It was not long when he felt that he also had something wrapped around his neck.

Ah, that’s right... I got in a car accident...

He thought and chuckled before closing his eyes to remember what happened, but immediately opened them again when he felt something soft and smooth on his right side. He’s definitely sure it wasn’t a pillow.

He looked at it, and to his surprise, he saw a blonde hair, thinking it was either Junhong’s or Youngjae’s. It wasn’t even as curly as Junhong’s or as short as Youngjae’s. It was definitely neither of them when Jongup saw that the blondie was wearing a uniform – a nurse’s uniform.

“Excuse me... Nurse-sshi... Nurse-sshi...” he said softly while poking the other’s arm. Just seconds later, Himchan raised his head up and saw the boy already awake. By the time the nurse raised his head up, the first thing Jongup noticed was his eyes. It was cute and wide.

He’s cute...

Jongup thought as he watched the other stood up and rubbed his eye, making him look cuter. Jongup somehow noted himself that the nurse quite resembled a just woken puppy.

“Oh, Moon Jongup-sshi, you’re awake... By the way, I’m Kim Himchan. I’ll be your nurse until you finally recover” Himchan tried his best to talk clearly, but his voice was still hoarse.

The fact that he slept at 4 in the morning and it’s only freaking 8am wasn’t really a help to let him sleep fully.

“I’m going out for a bit. I’ll report to the doctor about your condition. Do you have anything you wish?” he asked before leaving. Jongup looked at his fractured arm, thinking. “I... I want my umma...” Jongup said with an almost inaudible voice, but luckily, Himchan heard it and smiled before leaving.

Again, Jongup was alone.

He removed the blanket that covers his leg, revealing the thing that he feared the most. His eyes widened in horror. He gulped to prevent the tears from falling from his eyes. I shouldn’t have crossed that street... I should’ve listened to Youngjae-hyung... he thought as he stared at his injured legs. He can’t help but to cry.

His dreams, his passion, his everything – all gone because of a stupid car accident.

While Jongup is in agony, Himchan is outside the room, happily skipping around the building and greeting everyone he met with a sweet ‘good morning’ with a happy smile plastered on his pretty face.

By the time he reached his patient’s room, he heard soft sobs coming from the room. Without a second thought, he pushed the door open and saw Jongup crying over his injured leg. Himchan slowly closed the door behind him and walked towards the younger boy.

“M-Moon... M-Mooon Jongup-sshi... What’s wrong?” he asked softly, kneeling beside Jongup. The other didn’t reply; instead, he tried his best to stand up but he would always fall down no matter how much he tried it. Though sweat was evident on Jongup’s face already because of the effort he’s putting to stand up, that did not stop him from doing what he wanted.

“H-Hajima...” Himchan said softly, but Jongup ignored it and continued standing up. Jongup was torturing himself, and seeing him do this thing was hurtful to Himchan’s eyes.

“Damn it!”

Jongup shouted in annoyance, frustration, anger and abhorrence as he punched the wall with his fist, shocking Himchan in process.

“Damn it, damn it, damn it!”

Jongup repeated as he hit the wall at every work he spoke. His knuckles now are already sore. He breathed heavily and was going for another punch, when Himchan suddenly grabbed his wrists and pulled him into a tight embrace.

What Himchan did really shocked Jongup, considering the fact that they only met few minutes ago. It wasn’t even a formal introduction. “Moon Jongup-sshi... Hajima...” the elder whispered as he tightened the embrace. Jongup never felt this way before.

The presence of the elder and his warmth around Jongup made the latter feel secure and protected. He liked this feeling... He wants this... He needs this...

The longer Himchan does this, the faster Jongup’s heart beats. He doesn’t know the reason why he’s feeling like this, and it’s suffocating him from the inside. Fortunately, Himchan was there to comfort him, rubbing circles on his back.

Several minutes later, Jongup stopped crying, and the feeling of anger before was gone and replaced with a feeling he couldn’t explain nor understand. Himchan was too absorbed in comforting Jongup that he didn’t notice the situation they’re currently in.

“Hyung! I’m so glad you’re awake!!! The doctor had contacted us and - - - What are you two doing hugging each other on the floor???” the voice that they heard after the bang of the door had them caught off guard. Himchan quickly unattached his arms around Jongup and stood up before coughing a fake cough awkwardly.

“O-Oh, look at the time! It’s almost 9AM!!!” Himchan excused himself and ran out of the room because of embarrassment, leaving Jongup jaw-dropped on the floor. The intruder just followed him with his eyes. Then, there came Youngjae, breathing heavily as he put his hands on his knees.

“What the heck, Zelo! I told you to wait for me!” he said and looked at Zelo, who was also looking at somebody, then Youngjae looked inside the room and saw Jongup kneeling on the floor with his mouth wide open, looking at Zelo.

“Junhong-ah, who’re you looking at??? And why’s Jongup-ah sitting on the floor???” Youngjae, who was clueless about what happened, asked as he entered the room and waved his hand in front of the frozen Jongup.

Junhong tore his gaze away from what he’s looking and helped Jongup to go back to his bed. “It’s the blondie nurse that looks like a bunny... I saw him hugging Jongup-hyung when I opened the door” the maknae said. Youngjae just nodded to what Junhong said, until...

“M-Mwo??? They’re hugging each other??? W-wait, do you think that they...” before Youngjae could finish his sentence, Zelo already nodded. They looked at each other, giving a sheepishly evil smile to both of themselves.

“Are you thinking what I’m thinking???” Junhong asked while wiggling his eyebrows. “Oh, I’m definitely thinking what you’re thinking, maknae~” Youngjae replied in a sing-song tone. They looked at the still frozen Jongup, and then jumped at both of his sides, Zelo on the right side and Youngjae on the left.

Jongup was startled because of the sudden action of the two. “H-Hyung! Junhong-ah! Since when did you two got here??? Don’t you have classes today???” Jongup exclaimed when he saw the two sitting on his bed.

“The nurse, he’s your type, right? The cute ones...” Youngjae said as he put his arm around Jongup’s shoulder.

“H-huh??? What are you talking about???”

“Admit it, hyung. You’d never let anyone hug you unless you like that person” Junhong said also putting his arm around the shortest boy’s shoulder. For a moment back there, Jongup became silent. “I... I don’t know...” Jongup replied after thinking for several minutes, his hand clutched onto his chest.

* * *

Many days have passed, and days become weeks. As time goes by; Jongup’s injuries are slowly being healed. At the same time, the boy and his nurse have grown unidentified affection to each other, but Jongup is already starting to realize these feelings, and he is now ready to accept it. On the other hand, Himchan is still holding on to his belief that he just shows this kind of affection to Jongup because he cares so much for the boy. He forced himself to believe that he doesn’t feel any special feelings to his patient when he cared for him more than the others.

* * *

“Jongup-ah, your mother had contacted me. She said she’s not able to visit you for a couple of days. She said she was sorry” Himchan said while preparing the food he cooked for Jongup. The other just nodded at the elder’s statement.

“Hyung, feed me~” Jongup said while using his aegyo at Himchan. The nurse just rolled his eyes and crossed his arms on his chest like a diva. “You have hands. Eat it by yourself.” He said and started playing with his phone.

“B-but, a boy with an injured hand like mine can’t eat by himself... I’m left-handed...” he said and raised his arm wrapped in a thick bandage.

“Don’t lie to me, Moon Jongup. I saw you writing yesterday with your right hand.”

“B-But!”

“Stop! No buts.” Himchan ended with a stern tone and continued playing with his phone. Jongup pouted because of this. He knew Himchan likes cute things, and he knew he’s cute. He purposely looked at the nurse with a pout on his lips and puppy eyes.

Himchan scoffed when he saw the younger boy’s face. “That won’t work for me now, Moon Jongup. The last time you did that was because you tricked me to eat the chocolate made by your friend” he cringed at his words, remembering how distasteful Youngjae’s homemade chocolates were.

“B-But... Hyungie~ Himchannie-hyung~~~” Jongup said and used 100% of his aegyo. Occasionally, Himchan would glance at the cute boy and he couldn’t help himself but to spazz inside.

“Eek! Okay, I’ll feed you~~~!!!” Himchan literally threw his phone and walked over to Jongup to feed him after restraining himself to give in to the boy’s cuteness. As Himchan was feeding Jongup, he couldn’t help but to notice how close they were. He didn’t realize that his hands were shaking that the soup from the spoon were almost dripping.

Himchan looked at Jongup’s eyes, which he just noticed it was actually small and sharp, and then his eyes found its way to his nose, his lips, his Adam’s apple, his defined collarbone and finally his chest. Two of Jongup’s buttons were ed, revealing some of his skin.

Himchan gulped when he saw the obviously visible line that divides the boy’s chest. He wondered how Jongup would look like underneath those white pajamas. “Hyung, is there something wrong with my face? The wound on my forehead is not that visible, right?” Jongup said when he noticed Himchan staring at him.

The nurse was caught off-guard again for the umpteenth time. It had been so many times that Jongup caught Himchan staring at him, and the boy was starting to doubt Himchan. The nurse came back to reality as he blushed. He looked away from the boy and stammered.

“Y-your... your b-buttons...” Jongup looked at his shirt, then back at the bushing Himchan and smirked. He moved closer to the elder’s face until their distance was only few centimeters.

“Hyung, look at me...” Jongup said in his unusual deep voice. If Himchan was shocked with this, he himself was also shocked as well. Himchan turned his head to face Jongup, only to know that his and Jongup’s lips softly and accidentally brushed against each other.

They both widened their eyes when they felt the soft sensation on their lips. Because of shock, Himchan fortuitously threw the soup on Jongup, spoiling it everywhere.

“Hot! Hot! Hot!” Jongup screamed as he hopped off from his bed and jumped around the room as if his was on fire. “Ah! Hurt! Hurt! Hurt!” he creamed again when he realized that he was jumping using his injured leg.

“Omo! Jongup-ah, Mianhaeyo!” the nurse said and ran to Jongup’s side who was literally screaming in pain. After calming the boy down, the two looked at the mess they made.

“The room’s all jammed up, I’m soaked in that freaking hot soup and my leg is more injured than before...” the younger boy commented. “Let’s change your clothes first...” Himchan stood up and shuffled though Jongup’s cabinet until he found a pair of pajamas printed with green-masked bunnies.

“Gomawo...” the boy said quietly and started ing the rest of his buttons. “Ugh, let me do that crap!” Himchan said impatiently when he noticed Jongup was taking a long time just to those buttons. He put the pajamas on the bed and ed Jongup’s shirt instead.

While doing this, the nurse was staring at the highschool boy’s body and blushing harder and harder up to the point that his face was almost as red as tomato. Jongup smirked when he saw the elder’s reaction. He knew no one could resist his abs.

“T-There... finished” Himchan stuttered and moved away from Jongup as far as possible and covered his eyes. The boy tired his best to stand up despite of the pain that his leg was giving him and walked over to his bed to get the pajamas.

“Ah!” he exclaimed when he accidentally slipped on the floor and falling on top of the nurse. Meanwhile on the other hand, Himchan was a thousand times shocked as the boy because he didn’t see what exactly happened since he was covering his eyes.

The moment he opened his eyes, he saw Jongup’s face close to his, and their distances were decreasing. The boy’s arms were at the either sides of the nurse, locking him in his spot.

“Are you sure you want to continue this?” the younger boy asked while smirking, their lips now were almost touching, approximately having a gap on only one centimeter. So close that Himchan could feel the other’s warm breath colliding against his lips.

The elder just closed his eyes in response, too stunned to get the words out of his mouth. He could push Jongup away if he wanted to, but he didn’t do it. The boy was smirking, knowing that he was dominant over a guy who’s five years older than him. “I’ll take that as a yes then...”

“Jonguppie~ I bought you some - - - Oh, am I disturbing you two boys???” the two looked at the source of the sound and saw Mrs. Moon grinning from ear to ear and two other male voices were being heard from the background. “Don’t mind me, don’t mind me... I’m just going to put these...”

“UMMA! Get out!!! Can’t you see we’re busy?!?!” Jongup shouted. “Arasseo, arasseo, I’ll get out!” Mrs. Moon skipped playfully out of the room and closed the door. “See that??? We told you they’re having a secret affair!” Junhong said and hi-fived Youngjae. Mrs. Moon massaged her temple, knowing that she lost in a bet.

“It was clear that Jonguppie was the dominant one! He’s actually half on top of Himchan-hyung!” Youngjae said. Mrs. Moon breathed heavily because of the mischief of the two. “Now, now, boys. Let’s not interrupt those two and let’s get out to treat you some ice cream...”

“YEAH~~~!!! ICE CREAM!!!” “Yoo Youngjae wants chocolate one!” “And Choi Junhong wants a strawberry flavored one!!!”

The two jumped around as if they won in a lottery and started singing and dancing to Hyuna’s ‘Ice Cream’ as if they were the only ones in the hospital. Out of frustration, Mrs. Moon grabbed their collar and dragged them out of the hospital. “Yoo Youngjae, stop your childish nonsense. No wonder why you don’t have a lover yet...”

“B-but, why’s it always me??? You never blamed this thing whenever we’re acting all immature!” the older blonde pouted as he fixed his position. “First of all, Junhong’s a kid. He’s only 16. Finally, you’re a university student and yet you never had a girlfriend or a boyfriend before”

“Why boyfriend??? I’m straight!”

“You’re only saying that for now...”

Inside the room, the to-be couple could hear the conversation. They looked at each other simultaneously. “So, where were we again???” Jongup asked, locking eye contact with the elder.

“I suppose you were going to kiss me...” Himchan tried his best to sound like he was comfortable but it came out as a whisper. “So you really wanted to do it, huh?”

“OH, JUST KISS ME MOON JONGUP!!!”

* * *

Several weeks later...

I hate that old woman... Always orders me to do things when Junhong is around to do things...

Youngjae thought while paying for the items he brought from the convenience store. Mrs. Moon had asked him to buy some fruit juice for the five of them.

After he paid the items, noted himself that he would come to this store again to ask the name of the cash registrar since she was pretty. He’d proved Mrs. Moon that he would find his lover someday.

He went out to the place with a bag of goodies in his hand. When he saw the go signal, he crossed the street. Just as when he was crossing, a sudden honk of a car was heard. He turned to look where the sound came from, and saw a car fast approaching him.

It was too late when he realized this. Fortunately, the car had stopped halfway and only bumped his hips lightly. Youngjae was still knocked down because of the surprise. He stood up, rubbed his hips and gathered the bottles on the ground. Then, he glared at the driver, shooting electric current using his eyes.

“YAH!!! COME OUT HERE AND FACE YOUR MESS LIKE A MAN!!! Don’t you know how precious my hips are?!?!?! Are you planning to kill me?!?!?! Do you want me to be hospitalized like my friend?!?!?! GET OUT OF THAT PROTECTIVE SHIELD OF YOURS SO I CAN SMASH YOUR FACE TILL YOU CAN’T WALK TO ETERNITY!!!!” Youngjae shouted like a maniac, attracting weird stares from the people around him. Not that he cared about it, though...

The driver went out of the car, revealing another blonde-haired boy with the same height as his. “That’s right, coward! Get out and - - -” Youngjae cut his sentence off when he saw the driver’s face. He was beautiful. He’s pretty much alike his favorite singer, Seo Inguk. No one knows how he loves that drama.

“Look, kid. I’m sorry I smashed your hips but I really need to get to the hospital” the other said and walked away, but paused a little when he recalled what Youngjae said to him, at the same time realizing who was he talking to. He knew Youngjae, alright, but Youngjae didn’t even know if he existed. “Did you say you friend was in the hospital? Could you tell me where it is?”

“Uh-huh...” Youngjae nodded dumbly at the other’s question. “Then, hop on...”

-

The two had a small chat while having the ride. Youngjae knew that the man’s name was Daehyun, and he was 19 years old. He also knew that they’re actually going to the same university. Youngjae gave Daehyun a bow after arriving to the hospital.

Normally, Daehyun would become annoyed when someone threatened or annoyed him, but there is something about Youngjae that prevents him to do it. He watched the boy’s figure getting smaller and smaller as he walked away. Daehyun chuckled and shook his head. Impossible... It can’t be when I just met him...

He got out of the car and locked the door, walking towards the building. He stopped when he suddenly remembered something. “OH SHOOT!!! I FORGOT TO BUY CANDIES!!!!”

But then, Youngjae and Daehyun don’t know that there was a boy who was staring at them with a smirk on his face from afar. The boy ran back inside the building when he noticed that Youngjae was fast approaching him.

-

“MRS. MOON!!! I’M BACK~~~!!!” Youngjae shouted as he entered Jongup’s room, startling everyone who was awake in the room, well everyone except Zelo because the maknae has been following him ever since he got out of Daehyun’s car. Junhong smirked when he knew it was time for Youngjae to meet his destiny.

Baby Zelo, you are a genius! He praised himself mentally as he thought of plans to get his hyung and the unknown boy together like Himchan and Jongup. “Youngjae, would you please quiet down? Jonguppie and Nurse Kim are sleeping...” Mrs. Moon said softly as he watched Jongup sleeping, with Himchan also sleeping at the seat beside her son’s bed.

“How can I quiet down when I met someone?!?! Besides, he’s freaking gorgeous!” Youngjae squealed like an avid fangirl as he recalled how handsome Daehyun was when he smiled at him. It seemed like Mrs. Moon was interested in Youngjae’s story that she left the three boys and led Youngjae out of the room.

“Tell me about it...” It was the last thing Junhong heard as the two disappeared from his sight.

“Hey, Junhong-ah, are they gone yet???” Jongup asked softly with his eyes closed. “Yeah, I think they’re gone, Yeobo...” Himchan replied with a muffled voice and raised his head up to check if the two noisy persons were really not in the room.

“Who was that guy, anyway, Himchan-hyung??? It was you who asked me to follow Youngjae-hyung and look for that blondie...” Junhong asked, pertaining about the boy who Youngjae met earlier.

“He’s my cousin, Jung Daehyun. He once told me that he was having a crush to a blonde-haired boy in his school. I realized it was Youngjae and planned on how to set them up. But I never planned that they would meet like that. I just planned to get Daehyun to come here.”

“So what are you now, a love doctor?” Jongup barged in and pinched Himchan’s nose. Himchan kissed his temple in return before replying. “Kind of. Remember the time that I made you fall in love with me? You were mesmerized by my beauty...” Himchan joked, earning a face palm from Junhong.

Zelo just got out of the room because he couldn’t understand all of these lovey-dovey stuffs. “It was clear that you were the one who first fell for me. But now that Junhong’s gone, do you want to continue what we’re doing last night~?” Jongup said in a seductive tone, making the other blush.

“Shut up, Jongup. My already hurts because of that...”

“But you were so good last night, hyung~! You were like ‘Faster, Jongup! Faster! I’m gonna - - -“ Jongup said, making the elder cringe at the sound of his own moans the night before.

“One more word, and I’ll skin you alive…” he cut the younger boy off even before he could say anything while glaring at the boy. “But you won’t be able to do that right, hyung?~”

“UGH, I GIVE UP! I HATE YOU…” the nurse said and pouted.

“Luv u too, hyung” Jongup said and stole a kiss from Himchan
