Act 6

Sangyeon slowly opened his eyes but couldn't quite open them fully. His vision was blurry and his hearing was borderline deaf. "Sang...with me!" He wanted to speak, but words had failed him. He couldn't tell who it was that was what he assumed was yelling, but wished they'd let him die in peace. "Sangyeon!" He managed to lift his other arm and touched the person's face to confirm that this was real. He blacked out again.

Changmin's body shook with nervousness as he remembered the scene. Red water and haggard breathing. He wondered what could've happened had he not decided to go and find him. Would he had died? Changmin didn't want to imagine his poor sister finding her brother's dead body. He proceeded to stand up but sat back down as he felt too wobbly to move. "Sir, do you need something?" Changmin looked over and saw a young woman about his age looking at him with worry. "Ah, just water." "Stay there, I'll get it for you." He watched as she walked over to the water dispenser then came back with a cup of water. "You look really rattled..." "I guess..."

"Are you nervous about your check up?" He found himself chuckling then noticed the woman's confused face. "I wish that was the case..." "Don't feel the need to tell me. I just hope things get better for you and whoever you're with. If there's someone." "Thank you..." He noticed his arms had become heavy and started panicking. "No, no, no! It's too early!" He hoped no one, especially the young woman could see what was going on. He saw the doctor approaching and tried to sit up the best he could. "Well, you just saved a life. Hm, the cut on his wrist was deep enough that a few minutes later he'd bleed out. You can come in and see him." He managed to stand without causing too much suspicion.

Changmin took a seat then slowly took Sangyeon's hand in his. "Didn't you say you had reasons to live? Were you lying then?" He felt sleepiness starting to settle in, but fought it back. "Don't give up, Sangyeon because...because people will miss you and you have much to offer. And..." He needed to get it out. "And if you die...I'll lose my #1 reason to live." He had said it. Seeing Sangyeon bleeding out in that bathroom had opened his eyes. He cared more about him than he realized. Sangyeon was becoming his everything.

Sangyeon's eyes fluttered opened then was forced shut by the light above him. "Am I dead? Heh, wouldn't be surprised." He opened his eyes again and let them adjust. He looked around and saw that he was in a hospital, meaning he was very much alive. He sat himself up and saw he was the only one in the room. The door opened and in walked a nurse. "Good to see you awake." "How did I get here?" "A friend of yours called 119 and had you brought here." He looked down at his wrist that was now bandaged. "How long have I been sleep?" "A few days. Your body was recovering from the shock."

Changmin rushed through the hospital doors and headed towards the desk. "How may I-" "I'm here to see Lee Sangyeon." "Please sign in." He quickly wrote his information down then headed for the elevator. He decided to take the stairs and quickly went up. He hurried down the hall then stopped when he reached Sangyeon's room. He reached out then stopped. What could he say to him? What should he say? He slowly opened the door and saw Sangyeon sitting in a chair and writing. At least that's what he could see. "Sangyeon?" He felt himself smile as Sangyeon turned to face him. "Changmin..." Changmin slowly walked over to Sangyeon then felt him pull him down into a hug.

"I thought I had died...and the thought of never seeing you again..." Changmin could hear his sobs then proceeded to slowly stroke his hair. "I was scared too. Knowing that I could've lost you if I hadn't looked for you..." "You found me? So you were the one I saw..." "Yeah..." He felt Sangyeon's grip tighten and tightened his own in return. "I'm so sorry Chang...I thought you hated me after what happened at the restaurant...I couldn't handle it." "Why...?" "You're my reason to live. To hear your laugh, see your smile and learn from you." Changmin now had tears in his eyes as he let Sangyeon's words sink in. They were important to each other, and that one fact now gave them what they've been missing all along: love.

Yonghi noticed her brother had regained the life in his eyes and wondered what happened from the day he ended up in the hospital to when he was discharged. "Hey." Sangyeon looked at Yonghi and waited for her to speak. "Did you hit it off with a nurse or somethin?" "Maybe." She looked at him with surprise. "Don't be ridiculous. They have more important things to do than flirt with patients." "Fine." He watched as Yonghi walked away in her usual tight clothing and made her way upstairs. "I'm worried about her..." He was about to take another drag of his cigarette then put it out. He knew it wouldn't be easy, but he was determined to quit. He threw out all the packets he had then quickly walked away before he got the urge to reach in for them.

Sangyeon loved the way Changmin would sometimes secretly pose for him as he worked. He hadn't felt this happy in god knows how long. He felt addicted to this feeling and hoped it never went away. "Hey." Sangyeon looked up and saw someone hovering over him. "You've been coming here for months, and haven't sat down to eat." "Your point being?" "They might kick you out cause of it." "Then let them." The guy seemed confused by his reply, but he meant what he had said. He was only here to draw Changmin, but it wasn't like he couldn't do it at the plaza. He wondered what Changmin was currently thinking about then went back to drawing.

Changmin quickly gathered his things then was stopped by a coworker. "Do you wanna hang out?" "I'd love to but-" "Great, let's go." Changmin shook off her grip then sighed. "I can't. I already have plans." He pushed past her and hurried over to Sangyeon who was waiting outside for him. "So, got any good angles today?" Sangyeon had opened up to a page he hadn't seen before and was amazed by the sketch. "I can't wait to see the full thing..." "Are you performing today?" "No. I wanted to spend time with you." "But your fans will be sad." "It's not like I haven't canceled before." Changmin was happy. Sangyeon was the sunshine that chased away his cloudy days.
