HONGJOONG: “i already have less time and I'm not going to spend it with chemo.”
DOCTOR: “it might prolong your chances to live.”
HONGJOONG: “and at what cost?”
Hongjoong gets up and leaves. He had made up his mind. He wasn't going to tell anyone.
Suddenly his phone started to ring. It was Yunho. Ever since the incident happened about a three weeks ago, yunho had been staying at hongjoong’s house.
Hongjoong hadn't met yunho for the past two weeks. So that yunho wouldn't notice his decline in health.
but how long could he run away from everything?
He picked up the call.
YUNHO: “hey um the guys wanted to come over but I told them you were sick.”
YUNHO: “so we’re going out.”
YUNHO: “do you want to come?”
YUNHO: “if you're feeling better of course.”
HONGJOONG: “you can call them over.”
HONGJOONG: “i’ll come meet everyone when I'm feeling better.”
YUNHO: “are you sure?”
YUNHO: “i wouldn't want to impose.”
HONGJOONG: “yunho– i’ve told you, this house is mine as much as it's yours.”
HONGJOONG: “we’re brothers, c'mon.”
YUNHO: “i hope you know that it means a lot to me, hongjoong.”
YUNHO: “everything you've done.”
HONGJOONG: “i didn't do anything, yunho.”
HONGJOONG: “you deserve the best.”
YUNHO: “you know–”
YUNHO: “i’m happy with whatever I have.”
HONGJOONG: “don’t get all sappy on me.”
Yunho chuckled.
YUNHO: “i’m trying not to”
HONGJOONG: “i’m going to bed.”
Hongjoong was lying. He didn't tell yunho he wasn't at home.
YUNHO: “okay, sleep well.”
YUNHO: “i’ll wake you up when they come.”
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Everyone had gathered at Hongjoong’s house. He could hear them.
Seonghwa’s useless attempts at flirting, san’s laughter, Mingi giggling, Wooyoung yelling, yunho quoting vines, elysia snorting, Yeosang talking. He was sure that Jongho was breaking apples.
And y/n. Her beautiful laughter. The one that had thrown Hongjoong off the first time he heard it. He knew he couldn't be hers. It was impossible given his situation. So he just imagined what it'd be like and kept his feelings to himself. Maybe that was what was best.
He knew this was coming but this was still hard. He had told his parents and they had become a sobbing mess, despite knowing for years. His mind was a spinning mess.
This people didn't even know that Hongjoong was sick. They were so close to his heart, how could he do this?
A loud noise snapped Hongjoong out of his thoughts.
It was a gunshot.
