Fate

Chapter 26

Hakyeon looked before him, On the front seat Hyuk's manager sat there, stiff, seeing from behind Hakyeon thought maybe he was a dead corpse, he wondered if he was even breathing or not. Although the wondering didn't last long when he heard Hyuk grumbling, a deep voice from the base of his throat. Hakyeon followed the sound to look down at his feet. Hyuk was there, lying, holding his head.

Should I help or run?

Hakyeon's hand went unhooking himself from the seatbelt and went down regardless of what his mind told him. He hoisted Hyuk up who had apparently hit his head and his large body somehow crunched up on the surface of the car.

Touching him made Hakyeon realize it wasn't just feverish that Hyuk's skin felt against his, in fact Hyuk's body really was burning. He had really high fever. He seemed red in high with his eyes closed. Hakyeon noticed the shortness in his breath, as if he was panting. Pulling Hyuk up he gently rested him on the seats. Hyuk's lips moved, a few words escaping from his mouth, words that Hakyeon could not quite make out.

"He has quite a high fever..." Hakyeon murmured under his breath.

"Maybe that's why he was saying those nonsenses." Leo whispered in reply, barely.

Placing his palm against Hyuk's forehead, he again checked the temperature. If he had to guess, then he would say Hyuk's body temperature was around 102 degree Celsius if not more. The body heat burnt against his skin.

"We need to go to the hospital," Hakyeon said, concern flickering in his voice. And Hyuk swatted his hand away from himself. Hakyeon startled saw Hyuk languidly raise his eyelids, lips opened a crack.

"Don't... don't touch..... " He hummed. Hakyeon again tried to make a move, but Hyuk looked away. His head lazily fell to his right, as he kept on panting.

"And don't pretend to care..." Hakyeon stopped, his eyes observed Hyuk struggling to take breaths, how his long limbs trembled, A few droplets of sweat formed on his forehead.

Hakyeon was baffled by the sudden change in Hyuk's behavior, like 2 minutes ago that guy looked as if he were to kiss Hakyeon, and now he won't let Hakyeon touch him.

Nothing made sense!!

But the surprise lasted for a good 2 seconds and then he again was back to search through Hyuk's pocket. After a while, Hakyeon brought out a handkerchief to wipe of the sweat off from Hyuk's forehead.

Behind him the car door swung opened, he didn't quite cared about it, even though he had almost forgot about Hyuk's manager a few moments ago, it was obvious that his manager had opened the door. Therefore without glancing he said what he needed to,

"We need to go to the hospital. As fast as po-"

"He said not to touch him..." Was his reply. It was leveled, not loud, not threatening. Just simply a sentence uttered by him but Hakyeon was sure he heard him gritting his teeth. Hakyeon hesitantly turned around, a bit baffled, a bit annoyed.

"What?" Hakyeon asked, raising his eyebrow, his voice dry.

"DO.NOT.TOUCH. HIM....not that hard to hear is it now?" again voice kept meek but the tone was daring, it felt like a silent threat to the elder.

Without knowing Hakyeon let out a huff in disbelief. Hakyeon tugged his hand away from Hyuk, slowly turning on his seat to take a glance at the place behind Hyuk's manager to get an idea of where they were at then. From what he could see through the car door was a simple old pavement, a streetlamp shining afar. A little light from it flickered over the car's metal door. They were definitely in a quiet area. Those types that you would find in the vampire stories where the lead character would meet his other half while coming to find its pray. Hakyeon's stomach swooped up from the thought, did he hit the brake because this was their destination or just simply because Hyuk was acting strange? The question circled around in his head. Was he actually some pray for someone right now?
