20 || Everything's Alright

Hongjoong paced out the school's doctors office with clear worry printed over his face with different thoughts scaring the hell out of his already scared self. What if Seonghwa's fever hadn't gone down fully? But if this was the case he would have felt his temperature from all the while he held his wrist in his own hand.

What if it was because of something else bothering Seonghwa? But then, he doesn't know or have any idea about what is the cursed thing bothering him in the first place. He paced around waiting for the doctor to complete the check up on Seonghwa before he could see him.

Yunho and the others saw his clearly worried self not having a single idea of anything up till now. Hongjoong felt someone's arm on his shoulder. Turning around to see who it was, Hongjoong found Yunho looking at him with a worried face while giving a sympathetic smile to him. He just returned a more worried look with his forehead forming more creases on it.

"Hongjoong, it'll be alright! Don't worry!" Yunho spoke softly. He doesn't know why Hongjoong is so worried but then a friend is always worried for his friends. "B-But Yunho...I shouldn't have let him go. I didn't know he wasn't fully alright!" Hongjoong spoke out with a voice that gave out the impression that he was about to cry.

These words not only sparked a fire of curiosity but worry in Yunho and the others. They weren't sure of what Hongjoong meant by his words but whatever the matter was it pointed to something serious seeing how Hongjoong's condition was. "Hongjoong, what do you mean by that?" It was YeoSang who spoke out the curiousity for him and the others.

Hongjoong's heart and mind debated with each other now, they were truly having a fight. His heart said that he should tell the others while his mind opposed his heart fully. He was confused what to do. 'You should tell them, they are your friends Hongjoong!' His heart voiced out it's thoughts. 'Are you stupid Hongjoong?! Even if they are your friends, they clearly aren't Seonghwa's. They won't understand!!' His mind opposed his heart on the other hand.

'What should he do? Should he or should he not?'

He took a deep breath in and decided to listen to his heart. He'll tell them. "Guys, it's a little long of a story. Do you wanna listen?" He asked looking at them all. "If you are willing to tell then we will listen be it how long of a story." YeoSang's words sounded in Hongjoong's ears signalling he can voice out everything that happened.

"Guys, yesterday I didn't come to school cause something happened the night before and not because of me not feeling well. It was Seonghwa............." Hongjoong spoke everything while the others listened. They were surprised at everything Hongjoong told as well as worried for not only Hongjoong but Seonghwa as well.

"........guys I am worried he wasn't fully alright. I am so stupid to let him go home yesterday, I should have taken care of him." Hongjoong spoke out almost at the verge of tears, which he tried his best to not allow them to flow. "Hey Hongjoong-ah! Don't worry he'll be alright! And don't blame yourself. It's alright!" Mingi said to Hongjoong feeling bad how Hongjoong went on blaming himself.

"Yeah, Hongjoong! Mingi is right. Don't blame yourself, he'll be fully alright." Yunho agreed with Mingi on this. Though all of them were worried for Seonghwa since he was unconscious in the school doctor's office currently, Hongjoong was probably too worried for his own good. Hongjoong just nodded dumbly not looking up at anyone's face. Suddenly, they heard the doctor call for them.

"Boys, he is alright and would be awake in the next few minutes. He probably fainted because of suffocation and so I suggest that when he is awake please don't crowd around. It would be better if only two of you all stay here. Plus, you boys have classes as well so it's better you get back to where you should be." Saying this the doctor went out for the time leaving them there to decide what to do next.
