Third Person

Yeosang felt a vibration under the bedsheets that cause him to stir his eyes open. The blonde found his phone that was under him, carefully on not to wake Seonghwa up. The raven-haired's arms tangled and embraced his baby's figure while sleeping peacefully beside him.

Yeosang checked the time, an two hours before class. The vibration wasn't from his alarm clock, but because of the text messages that Wooyoung sent him.

wooyoung pabo:

wooyoung pabo:

yeosang:
stfu

Yeosang giggled and turned off his phone. His eyes locked to Seonghwa's, who had his eyes half open and a smug smile on his face.

"Good morning." Seonghwa greeted with a raspy voice, hugging Yeosang tighter.

"You're awake. Did you sleep well?"

Seonghwa buried his face onto Yeosang's neck, "Yeah, what about you? Are you feeling better than before?"

"Yeah, thanks to you." Yeosang smiled, letting the elder snuggle into his neck, "I'm just really glad everything ended. We can go back to our peaceful lives." He giggled.

Seonghwa hummed in agreement, "Me too."

"Anyways, we need to get ready for school." Yeosang tried sat up but Seonghwa's arms were stronger to hold Yeosang back.

"No. Five more minutes, please." The elder cheekily smiled.

"But Hwa..."

Seonghwa hovered over Yeosang and left a lot small pecks on the blonde's face.

"Seonghwa..." Yeosang laughed at the ticklish kisses that Seonghwa was giving him. "It tickles, stop..." he continues to giggle as the elder is pouring him so much affection.

"Let's take a bath together." Seonghwa joked.

"N-no! D-Don't even think about it."

"I'm just teasing you, sweetheart." Seonghwa leans in for a sweet kiss that lasted for about three seconds.

When both of them pulled out, "Ew! Morning breath." Yeosang joked back, leaving Seonghwa slightly offended so he caged the other's arms and kissed his neck as a punishment.

"Say that again and I'll leave a mark." Seonghwa murmurs close to the blonde's neck.

Yeosang tried to break free, "Don't even dare. We have school and people might see it--"

Yeosang wasn't able to finish his words when suddenly he felt the familiar stinging sensation on his hip. Seonghwa was beyond confused, he didn't even do anything yet Yeosang is in pain. He pulled out and sat up to give his husband some space.

The blonde clutched his shirt while biting his lip in pain.

"Are you okay?" Seonghwa held Yeosang's arm and carefully sat him up.

"It suddenly hurts." He whimpered.

"Where? What part?" Seonghwa panicked while cupping the latter's cheeks.

"My hip." Yeosang grunted as Seonghwa darted his gaze to the hip where the signature was imprinted.

Seonghwa slowly lifted Yeosang's shirt up to see that the signature mark was almost fading away. The raven-haired had his eyes widen, very bewildered at the glitching motion of the mark.

"Seonghwa, I think I can't take it anymore." Yeosang breathed in sharply, hissing because of how painful it was.

The elder licked his lips, not knowing what to do. He certainly don't want Yeosang to faint again like last time, but most definitely don't want to see him in pain either.

"I'll take you to the hospital--"

"No! Don't, please."

"But your mark is fading and you're in pain!"

Yeosang looked at him in disbelief, "Do you want the doctors to think that we're crazy? It's okay, I can bare the pain."

Seonghwa sighed in defeat, "I'll get you pain killers."

The blonde held the other's arm while still clutching his shirt, "No, please stay. I might faint any time sooner." Yeosang took a deep breath to regulate his breathing.

Seonghwa nodded and engulfed his baby into a hug. He kissed the top of his head. Yeosang shut his eyes close, trying to endure the pain while letting the elder embrace him tightly. The blonde's body tensed so Seonghwa muttered positive affirmations to keep him calm and relaxed even though Yeosang was almost in the verge of crying.

"It'll be alright." Seonghwa hushed softly. It calmed Yeosang a little bit but he felt frail, tired and sweaty.

Even the elder was panicking but he knew he should stay calm for Yeosang. It was weird to see that the mark is fading and glitching. He started to doubt some things, yet it is not the solution to the problem. Yeosang is in pain and Seonghwa wants to be there for him no matter what happens.

He doesn't want Yeosang to experience what Lia experienced.

And most importantly, he is afraid of losing him.

Seonghwa leaned in to capture Yeosang's lips. Yeosang's thoughts washed away in a matter of seconds because all he could focus now was Seonghwa and the kiss. He could care less about the pain but every second he becomes weaker and weaker.

Yeosang's hearing had lost and his consciousness started to subside.

----

Yeosang's eyes stirred open and the first thing he saw was Seonghwa holding his hand. Mr. and Mrs. Park were concerned for the blonde but sighed in relief to know that Yeosang already woken up.

Seonghwa placed his hand on the blonde's forehead, checking the other's temperature. He thanked heavens that his temperature went down yet Yeosang was still sweaty from enduring the pain. "I'm glad you're awake. Are you still hurt?"

Yeosang sat up, "I'm...confused. What the hell was that? Why did I experience that pain again?"

Mrs. Park walked closer and sat down beside Yeosang. "Sangie dear, we have no idea why the mark was glitching. Everything is unexplained since it was my sister who put you through this. Does your mark still hurt?"

"Not anymore."

Mrs. Park smiled, "That's good to know. I want you to stick with Seonghwa all the time, alright? We don't want you to faint again."

Yeosang nodded, "Okay, mother."

Mrs. Park stood up, "Anyways, we will be going now. Call us again if something happens."

Seonghwa nodded and escorted them out of the house.

Yeosang still couldn't believe what happened. He checked his mark if it is still there and fortunately, it is back to its normal state. Yeosang questioned why is it so mysterious and frightening. It's highkey scaring him.

When Seonghwa came back from escorting his parents out, Yeosang asked, "What time is it?"

"Exactly seven. Why?"

"What's the date today?"

"June 5. Why?"

"School. We have to get ready for school--"

Seonghwa sighed out and shook his head, "No. You have to rest."

"It's fine. I can manage." The blonde was about to stand up but Seonghwa pushed him back and pulled the duvets over the younger.

"Don't bother. Just sleep, please."

Yeosang deflated and accepted his defeat. "Will you stay?"

"Do you want me to?" Seonghwa smiled.

Yeosang shook his head, "You'll be late for classes--"

"I don't care about my classes. You're way more important." Seonghwa pecked his husband's forehead.

"Will you really stay for me?" Yeosang pouted, feeling so appreciated and loved at the some time.

Seonghwa chuckled and slide himself into the duvets and engulfed Yeosang into a hug.

"Anything for you."

yeosang:

wooyoung pabo:

wooyoung pabo:

yeosang:
you're so fake.
disgusting.

"Why are you giggling?"

Yeosang looked up to see Seonghwa bringing a plate of fried chicken. The blonde's eyes twinkled at the food as his stomach grumbled on how good it smells like.

"Wooyoung's coming over. Do you mind?" Yeosang asked permission, taking the fried chicken skin into his mouth.

Seonghwa shook his head, "Nope."

"Great. I thought you'd be mad." Yeosang rubbed his nape sheepishly.

"Why would I be?" Seonghwa's brows furrowed.

"'Cause it's out of the blue." Yeosang shrugged, "Thanks for the chicken."

"You're welcome. Why is Wooyoung coming over though?" Seonghwa quickly changed the topic.

"It's about San."

Just in time, the doorbell rang. Yeosang arched an eyebrow, "That was fast."

Seonghwa chuckled, "I'll get the door."

The elder stood up and walked to where the main door was located. Seonghwa opened the door, thinking it would be Wooyoung behind it.

But it revealed San instead.

"Hey. Are you guys okay? You didn't attend today." The pink-haired concerns.

Seonghwa froze, totally not expecting San to show up at this time.

"Uh...We're good. We just rested after the commotion yesterday. Weren't you supposed to be at school?"

San shrugged as he invited himself in, "I don't feel like going to school. Wooyoung's not there." He pouted.

Seonghwa cocked an eyebrow, "Wooyoung? That's a surprise."

San suddenly hugged the elder, "I don't know dude. I can't stop thinking about him. There's something about Wooyoung and I can't seem to pinpoint what it is."

Seonghwa was weirded out at the unusual behavior his friend was showing, "Dude are you gay for him?"

"Dude, I think I am." San replied without any hesitation. "I was fucking lovestruck. Why am I so oblivious before? He asked me out and I straightforwardly kissed him. God, why did I do that? He must think I'm on drugs or something."

Seonghwa burst out laughing while patting his friend on the back. "You'll figure it out soon."

Yeosang stood up yelling, "Hwa! Is that Wooyoung?" He stopped his pace when he saw San hugging his husband, "San? What are you doing here?"

The pink-haired let go of the other's arm, "I was here to see if you guys are okay." He smiled.

"Oh? Well, we're fine." Yeosang giggled, "I thought you were Wooyoung for a second."

San's eyes widen, "Did you just say Wooyoung? Is he coming over?" He faced Seonghwa, "What the fuck why didn't you tell me sooner? Holy shit, I gotta go now. I don't wanna embarrass myself--"

"SANGIEEEE!!" Wooyoung yelled through the door, "I'm here, please open the door!" The doorbell kept ringing repeatedly.

San panicked, he felt like he's going to shit his pants. He was not ready to face Wooyoung, especially when he left the younger dumbfounded yesterday which he knew he should not have done that. He knew it was too straightforward but he couldn't help himself. He was so whipped.

"Can I hide?" San said more of a demand.

Seonghwa mischievously smiled and abruptly opened the door for Wooyoung.

"Hi, Hwa! Is Sangie there? I need to rant about Choi San because he is confusing as fuck--"

Wooyoung stopped rambling when locked eyes with San. Both of them stared at each other awkwardly but with a mixture of shock and confusion.

"Fuck."
