His name rung through the room as jae-woook tried waking him up. He turned his head calling out Ha-ru but there wasn't any response he just lay still. He bent down and felt his heart beat.
Just as he was about to sit up he felt a hand grab onto him as Ha-ru mumbled something intangible.
He let out a sigh of belief as he looked up at him.to see his eyes slowly opening.
Ha-ru looked around in a state ofnconfusion as he felt hands wrap around him helping him to sit up. He looked up at the person in front of him his face filled with concern. The first emotions he had genuinely seen from him.
"What happened?" He asked as he held his throbbing head. He felt a wave of dizziness through his head forcing him to hold onto the ground for stability.
"You were screaming and you suddenly fell unconscious. " Jae-wook said as he stood up. He held his waist as he looked down at Ha-ru.
His mind was blank. He didn't know how to act at that moment.
"Ohh!" Ha-ru stated as he held into the wall and tried standing on his own. He had slightly shorter breaths as he leaned against the wall.
Just then the bell rung. Jae-wook walked towards the door and opened it revealing the dispatched medical team. He had called the emergency line as soon as Ha-ru started screaming in pain.
After exchanging a few words the medical team walked into the house.
"Sir we will just check your vitals to make sure you are fine.".one of the medical officers said as he placed his pack down.
The other medical officer led Ha-ru towards the chair.
They checked his vitals for a while before informing them that there wasn't any problem detected but he should go for a medical exam.the following day.
After they were done they left leaving them alone once again.
Ha-ru leaned against the seat his head propped back and his eyes closed.
His breath was short as he lay peacefully.
Jae-wook walked towards him his intention to tell him to leave but stopped in his tracks when he realised Ha-ru had fallen asleep.
He let out a sigh as he looked at the figure below him.
Sadness filled his eyes as he recalled all the times that had passed. He bit his lip as he run his hand through his hair.
Questions run through his mind of something being wrong with Ha-ru from his behaviour earlier but the medical officers cleared him however, that did almost nothing to dispel his concerns.
But did he have the right to be worried about him?
He slowly walked up to him his eyes still trained on him before slowly putting his hands under his knees and his other hand on his back before gently lifting him up.
Ha-ru moved slightly but he didn't wake up instead he hurried his head in Jae-wooks neck a feeling of comfort familiarity and warmth filling his bdoynas he snuggled closer.
Jae-wook stopped slightly. His teeth tightened at Ha-ru's unconscious gestures. His grip on Ha-ru tightened as he felt Ha-ru's warm breath on his neck.
"I missed you." Ha-ru mumbled unconsciously as he threw his hand around Jae-wooks neck pulling him closer.
Jae-wook stood rooted to the ground his expression blank yet his eyes spoke so much of the conflict inside him.
He looked at the ceiling to floor mirror in front of him and he familiarity of the scene in front of him felt so warm yet so foreign. He felt pain run through his heart the longer he looked at the refection.
Images of that night run through his mind. The night the soil smelled so sweet. The night the small drops of rain fell on the deserted streets. The night their clothes were drenched and their hearts were bleeding. The night everything fell and shattered into untraceable pieces.
He pulled him closer in his arms as he clenched his teeth. He didn't think he would get this again. He didn't think he would walk into that door on his own acord. He had thought everything that was them was already history so why did he request his aunt to contact him?
He had so many questions that he knew would remain unanswered.
He looked down at tye peaceful figure in his hands. He looked so delicate. He remembered how he wanted to protect him. He had become a very important piece in his life but that was all he was now a past tense.
Then what was he doing there?
Making him confused?
Making him yearn for what was and what could never be?
Making his heart hurt once again?
Did he really miss him?
Then why would he ask about him?
Why would he willingly piece his heart again with the same spear and subject his heart to such conflict?
Jae-wook looked up at the ceiling closed his eyes and let out a sigh.
He felt lighter in his arms than he remembered.
He wondered if he ate well.
He didn't like to admit it to anyone but he had a large appetite.
They hadn't talked in so long. He had just adjusted to knowing he wasn't a part of his life anymore only for him to come back.
He let out another sigh before tearing away from the mirror and walking towards one of the two bedrooms. He slowly placed him down making sure not to wake him up.
He pulled up the covers and placed his phone on the stand before walking towards the door. He looked back at the sleeping figure. His lips pursed.
The image in front of him seamed like his imagination.
*◇*
The phone rung beside the bed. Ha-ru placed the pillow on the bed to stop the sound but it kept buzzing and cutting him out of his dreams he reached out with his hand his had still under the covers as he peaked up at the phone and receiving the call.
"Where are you?" Alice's voice rung through the phone.
Ha-ru grunted in annoyance at the sound of her voice.
"Don't tell me you are still sleeping. " She whispered yelled. Voices could be heard in the background.
"What?" He grunted once again as he started dozing off.
"You were supposed to be on set already!! " She almost shouted into the phone bit refrained from it in case someone overheard.
"Where?" He unconsciously asked his body slowly giving into the wave of sleep overtaking his body.
"What do you mean where? You said you would come on your own there wasn't any need to pick you up!!" She said angrily.
Ha-ru suddenly sat up on the bed.
"Where are you anyway Mae-rin went to your room you weren't there and yet you are still sleeping?" She asked.
Ha-ru looked around at the unfamiliar room. He rubbed hisnhands on his face as he tried to recall what happened the previous night.
He was being examined but he didn't remember anything else after that. He only felt someone hold him then here was was on the queen sized bed. He slowly got off the bed and opened the door.
He walked outside and saw Jae-wook standing beside the kitchen counter cooking.
"Jae-wook?" He whispered as he looked at him.
"Did you two get back together?" She asked through the phone.
