"Why did you bring him here, away from me? you're clearly-" "Hyunjin...this is not the place nor the time to be acting immature" Chan speaks through his gritted teeth when he grabs hold of Hyunjin's hands around his collar and glares into his eyes, trying to remain calm and shrug off Hyunjin from himself. the taller takes seconds, pouring lava into Chan's soul with his eyes before he reluctantly lets go of his collar "Just know that I will fuck you over if you hurt him, do you get that?" the threat is looming against Chan's senses who shakes his head in disbelief

"do you think you're the only one concerned about Felix?! I was here before you were, I have done everything in my power to get him healthy again. there is no one who wants him to live more than me"

Chan's tone is roaring but his voice is hushed, not to disturb anyone around them. veins have appeared on the side of his neck and it has reddened too, red lines occurring on his sclera while his eyebrows are raised and eyes are widened. Hyunjin stands there, fuming with wrath. he is seconds away from slamming Chan's face into the marbled wall behind them but he holds back, the face of his lover being disappointed by his malignant behavior and short temper flash through his mind and washes like water over a burning twig, making his inhale a deep breath and step away from Chan

collecting himself and his thoughts, yet before he can even exhale the sigh Chan is going off again "I have done everything I could to make you like me but all you've done is disrespect and disregard me and my attempts at warming up to you, I wanted to like you, I even did, still, I am deeply saddened to say this but I truly don't get what Felix sees in you, Hyunjin. I thought you were a shy kid with a nice heart, but man I might have judged you too wrong" Chan takes a step back while Hyunjin stands there, unable to say a thing. the doctor's words are sharp and bitter, stinging each time they echo in Hyunjin's mind

the elder man runs a hand through his hair and exhales a deep breath, looking down at his feet before he looks up "I brought him here solely because I know how little Felix has left and this, this is our last attempt at treating him" he mumbles through a shake of his voice as he blinks away tears that are threatening to fall. still, Hyunjin doesn't move, steady as a log of wood while Chan clears his throat and steps farther away from the frozen boy "I'll leave you to it, you should go check on Felix and then join me and Doctor. Seo in his office, there are some payments that need to be cleared and I'd like you to go over some paperwork...if not legal then as Felix's temporary guardian" he keeps speaking and Hyunjin does reckon his words but never really responds

just stares blankly, even when Chan walks away with a furtive look in his eyes and all that's left of his essence is the clicking of his heels Hyunjin still doesn't move, still as a statue the boy is rethinking Chan's words, repeating them in his mind like a hymn or an orison "I truly don't get what Felix sees in you--- this is our last attempt at treating him" there are way too many thoughts cramped up in his little mind and the voices keep getting stronger, the pain persisted as if someone was hammering a nail through his skull and his vision nearly blurred before he inhaled a deep breath and blinked incessantly, looking up from the ground and exhaling heavily. turning on his heels and making his way to Felix

he didn't have enough time to be sulking over the words of a strange man or whatever the hell was going through his mind, Felix's lack of days and this bizarre new treatment, everything was all too much and Hyunjin was sure he was at the very edge of collapsing. yet before he allows his knees to buckle and his heart to explode, he needs to be next to his beloved.

walking inside the room Hyunjin is met with a floral scent before his eyes are met with the sight of Felix. a smile blossoms across his face when he shuts the door behind him, trying his best to not look like the trainwreck he was feeling as. It's a spacious place, the walls of this room are painted pastel blue, there's a hint of grey as well and it matches well with the darker grey drapes. there are paintings, decorative pieces, and a table by the window with a chair before it, a bed in the corner of the room ornamented with azure sheets and soft pillows as if it weren't an infirmary patient's room but a normal person's. it feels odd to Hyunjin but most likely warm and cozy to Felix considering it is unlike the hospital rooms he despises so much
