~Time skip: 2 months~

Haknyeon let out a sigh as he entered his room. He had been staying somewhere else ever since he started his therapy sessions. They had helped him as he can now eat without fear, but sometimes it came back without warning. The others had visited him at his new place, except Sunwoo and Changmin. He expected it from Changmin, but from Sunwoo? He covered his face with a pillow then let out a tiny scream. "I miss him. Why hasn't he come yet?" He heard a knock on his door then heard a familiar voice. "Haknyeon, it's me. Someone wants to see you." He got up from his bed and walked over to the door. He opened it and saw his therapist and someone hiding behind her. "Well, I'll leave you two alone. I'll be two rooms over." She stepped aside and revealed Sunwoo. "Come in." Sunwoo stepped in then sat down in a chair.

"Why haven't you come until now?" Sunwoo rubbed the back of his neck then shrugged. "I see..." "How have you been since, you know..." "I've been great lately. With the occasional scare here and there." Sunwoo nodded then looked around the room. It wasn't anything special. It had dark green walls, a bed, a desk, the chair he currently sat in and a dresser. "Oh, I brought you something." Haknyeon gave him a questioning look then watched him pull out the stuffed toy from the bag he had. "Wow, thank you. I'm sure this'll help me sleep better." Sunwoo gave him a smile and he returned the gesture.

The room was deathly quiet as both weren't sure what to say. "I missed you." "I missed you too." Haknyeon stood up then straddled Sunwoo. "The others visited me. I always looked for you when they did. I always believed that you were just busy. Were you really?" "I uh, yeah. I was busy. I'm sorry. I worried you didn't I?" Haknyeon nodded then rested his head on Sunwoo's shoulder. He couldn't help but feel that this was right, that he belonged there. "Sunwoo, I feel like my feelings are growing more." "Really? That's good to hear."

He looked at Sunwoo and he felt himself cup his face. "Hak-" He silenced him with a kiss. He felt Sunwoo asking for entrance and he let him. They eventually broke apart for air. Haknyeon looked at Sunwoo who had a blush coloring his face. "That was sudden." "I-I'm sorry. I just-" "Felt. I know the feeling. Well, how did it feel?" "Like a firework show." Sunwoo laughed then buried his face into Haknyeon's neck. "I wish we could stay like this, but I have to go." Haknyeon reluctantly got up then watched Sunwoo walk to the door. "I'll see you later, okay?" "Okay."

"He's lying. He's not lying. He's lying..." He continued to mull this over until every petal had been plucked. "He's lying. He wouldn't lie to me, right? Of course not!" He rolled onto his side while clutching the stuffed toy close. "Hopefully he visits soon, right?" He held out the stuffed toy then let a smile form on his face. A knock on the door instantly erased his smile as he got up to see who was there. "Haknyeon, it's time to eat. Care to join me?" "Sure." He followed his therapist to the communal dining room like he had done many times before.

A new day had begun as the sun's rays penetrated Haknyeon's room. He slowly opened his eyes but something seemed amiss. "What did I do?" He held his head as it was pounding. No matter what he did, he couldn't remember anything. "I don't want to go see her today. She's been creeping me out lately. But, the more I attend, the sooner I can be cleared." He gathered his necessities then made his way to the communal bathroom.

"Here, have some of this." His therapist placed some food onto a plate in front of him and he ate it with no problem. "You seem to be getting better..." He gave her a nod then noticed that she looked like she had more to say. He completed the rest of his exercises with ease and was told he could be cleared within a week at this rate. He bowed to his therapist and exited the room. "Looks like they're not working well...time to amp it up."

He heard a knock on his door then saw someone come in. "Miss? What are you doing here?" "Oh, just leaving your medicine. You know you have to take it twice a day." He nodded then watched her place the cup down on the desk. "I'll take my leave. See you later." She closer the door behind her then let out a sigh. "Hopefully this works..."

He went over to the cup then looked at it's contents. "It looks more cloudy than usual." He let out a groan as someone had again knocked on his door. He opened it and saw Sunwoo holding a book. "This is the book I've been wanting to read. How did you know?" "I simply observe." Sunwoo stepped inside then noticed the cup on the desk. "What's that?" "Oh, just my medicine. Just gotta take it twice a day."

Sunwoo looked inside it and noticed it was pretty cloudy. "I don't think you should drink this." Haknyeon gave him a confused look then picked up the cup. "Why not?" "Seems suspicious to me. Give it here." Haknyeon and Sunwoo fought over the cup which eventually spilled its contents on the floor. "Now look at what you did." "Yeah, I might've just saved your life." Haknyeon rolled his eyes as he got a towel from the dresser then started cleaning the mess. "I'll be cleared sometime next week." "Wow, that's great news. It's all happening so fast too." Haknyeon tossed the towel towards a pile then nodded in agreement. "Maybe it wasn't as serious as we thought." "Haknyeon." The older looked at him and it sent his heart into a frenzy. Haknyeon thought the younger looked nervous so he pulled him into an embrace.

"I want to get out of here. I don't like my therapist anymore. She's really creepy. So are the others in this place. There was a patient who came in the same time I did, but she looks nothing like she did when came in. She looks worse." "I knew it. That drink could've harmed you." "How? I've been drinking it for 2 months and a few days now. I don't look or feel any different." Sunwoo eyed Haknyeon. His natural hair color had started taking over what was left of his blonde color. His eyes seemed to lack the luster and life it used to have. He looked a bit thinner too. "Are you sure? You look thinner to me..." Haknyeon looked at himself but couldn't understand what Sunwoo was saying.

"Whatever you do, don't drink that medicine anymore if you want to get out sooner." Haknyeon nodded as he trusted Sunwoo, someone he's known a lot longer than the people he was with now. "And one more thing." Sunwoo gave him a kiss on his forehead which made him blush like crazy. "I'm sure my time is up by now. Stay strong." He quietly waved as Sunwoo exited his room which felt darker the moment he left. "Is there something wrong with this place? Yet it's state of the art and had nothing but positive reviews." He flopped down onto the bed then stared at the ceiling.
