His hand which was bloodied had begun shaking and his breath was labored yet before he could dwell further on the happenstances Hyunjin sprang to his feet "We...we need to see Chan, we need to go to the hospital" He blabbered breathlessly, leaning over and holding Felix by his arm, helping the cemented boy to his feet who feels his vision slip away from him because of the haste of his steps while he stumbles slightly but Hyunjin is holding him protectively like he always does

Through the haze of his panic, Felix can see how distraught Hyunjin looks and all he wants to do is hug him and tell him it's all okay. He can understand Hyunjin's fears considering what they've gone through but he's positive there's nothing wrong, that he's completely fine and this must be because he's been sick for the past few days. "Hyun I'm oka--" Felix's words don't meet Hyunjin's ears who has already pressed his phone against it, hands shaking as he bites on his lower lip and anticipates whoever he had called to answer the phone while he brings Felix closer to his body and kisses his head

Hyunjin wants to cry, wants to scream, or pull out his hair but he tries to keep calm even though he is shaking violently and his breathing has become abnormal. He knows Felix must be scared too and he needs someone to lean on while their world comes crumbling around them in the mere span of seconds as he tries not to think too much of anything, tries not to think at all, and only fixates on the fact that he needs to get Felix to the hospital right about now. So many thoughts are spiraling into his mind and he closes his eyes while Felix presses against his chest, he doesn't want to think of anything, anything at all.

Felix calculates there's no point telling Hyunjin he is okay and asking him to calm down since the taller won't listen until he is a thousand percent sure Felix is genuinely okay. He doesn't see any trouble in it, he knows deep inside him that he's entirely fine so he doesn't care if they make one unnecessary trip to the hospital to keep Hyunjin's fears at bay.

It was hell, waiting for the blood results to come back, what's even worse was the look on Chan's face when Hyunjin told him all about the way Felix had been feeling the past few days. At first, it would've been okay, being sick is normal, especially considering how brazen the weather had been but this infamous crimson clover blooming against Felix's skin was the materialization of trepidation for Hyunjin. Worry flashed across Chan's face for a split second but he hid it well and smiled at them shruggingly before he asked Hyunjin to wait outside and took Felix in.

It has been an hour since then, Hyunjin doesn't know what is taking so long and to call him impatient would be a disgrace to the squall that is building inside of him. He's still shaking, hasn't recovered from the emotions he felt when he first saw that trickle of blood go down Felix's face, the vision is still haunting his senses and he feels like his knees will buckle under his weight any second now. He hadn't heard what Felix wanted to say, what Felix had been building upto this entire evening, as soon as Felix opened his mouth to speak the blood invaded his sight and after that, everything went into a ringing quietude

but that wasn't his biggest worry, whatever was going on beyond those white doors of this hospital was. Hyunjin didn't even want to ponder for a second about the negative thoughts that were rising in his mind because he knew if he let even a single one of them take place he'd end up crying or entirely breaking down and he couldn't afford that right now, not at all. The waiting is endless and fatal and if he doesn't see Felix's pretty smile in the next few minutes, he might as well pass from a heart attack. Seconds tick by and after the longest of hours, Chan swings open the depressing doors and walks through them

catching Hyunjin's eye who was taking long strides back and forth in the hallway, halting his steps immediately. Chan expected a long train of questions for Hyunjin to bombard him with, blabber and not even take a breath but Hyunjin said nothing and his teary eyes were enough proof that if he opened his mouth he wouldn't be able to stop the sobs that escaped. It terrifies Chan, the amount of love Hyunjin holds for the brunette and the amount of sheer worry that he is dripping with right now even though there is a high probability that Felix may just be okay
