who are you?

five

he smoothed a hand over his chest to try and calm his heart. "why am i so nervous." he looked down at his feet before turning the knob slowly.

before he could open it though, flashbacks from the night him and hyunjin first met came and hit him like a brick.

a small smile appeared on his face as he remembered the 20 year old hyunjin standing outside without a shirt. then that smile fell ..

when did we start to fall apart?

disregarding the thought, he opened the door fully to reveal his neighbor. he faked a grin as he stand just a few meters away from him.

"yes?" he asked softly.

"sorry to bother you again." he laughed nervously and jeongin could notice the faint blush spreading across his face. "but i'm kind of new around the area and you were the only person who was nice to me."

he knew exactly where this was going and he was already scared just by thinking about hyunjin finding out about this. nonetheless, he nodded and urged for the boy to speak.

"so um would you like to have dinner at my place later?" his grin stretched wider showing the dimples that popped on his cheeks.

adorable.

"d-dinner? oh i actually have something to do." he blurted out without thinking and immediately the boy in front of him face's fell.

"no problem, we could always hang out another time." jeongin could feel the atmosphere get awkward. "wait, i didn't introduce myself properly. i'm chan by the way." he stretched out his hand.

jeongin's mouth hung agape and he was unable to speak nor move. the air started to feel thick and his vision started to get blurry.

chan. my chan.

i miss you

his heavy hand clung onto the door knob and he was leaning his whole weight against the door. suddenly he was feeling nauseous.

"oh god, are you okay? are you sick?" chan was quick to be on his side, wrapping an arm to his waist. as much as he was uncomfortable, he was close to passing out.

"jinn..ie. hyunjin.. call my husb-"

his vision completely went black.

what is this sick coincidence and why is it happening to me?

—

"can you hear me?"

"jeongin?"

though his eye lids felt heavy, he managed to flutter them open. jeongin winced when the harsh bright light was the first thing he saw.

carefully he lift himself up with the help of hyunjin's arms wrapped around his waist. he held a hand to his head and turn to face his husband.

"when did you get he- chan?" weakly he pushed him away and when he looked around, he was laid on his bed with a stranger sat beside him.

"i know i shouldn't be here but i didn't know what to do, and i checked your phone but i couldn't call anyone since its locked." he smiled sheepishly and handed him a glass of cold water.

grateful as he is, jeongin still found the whole thing weird as he was still unused to his presence.

"you didn't have to do any of this." he took the glass from his grasp with a small smile and drank it hungrily.

"i'm not leaving you passed out in here alone, jeongin." he scoot closer. "i uh i saw your identification card on your table."

"oh well, i appreciate everything. you can leave now, i'm fine."

his eyes widened when chan suddenly leaned in, and on instinct, he immediately raised his hand to stop him.

"please don't." he whimpered weakly, shutting his eyes tight together.

chan on the other hand frowned and it deepened when he saw how bad the boy start to shake.

"no, i'm not going to hurt you." he whispered. how he violently reacted made him think he was abused and even though he had questions, he wouldn't ask out of respect.

"jeongin calm down. breathe, okay? breathe." he crawled towards him and started to soothe his back by rubbing on it.

"i'm okay c-chan. please just go, i don't want to be more of a bother."

"non sense. i want to help. " he looked into him. "please let me." they were so close, their distance was closing. jeongin looked back and he was slowly starting to calm down but then from the corner of his eyes he saw someone.

slowly chan followed his gaze and this is where he stood up from the bed and went away from jeongin.

"jeongin do you know him?" he asked, brows furrowed and glaring at him.

"who are you." the blonde asked in a tone that said he's not happy at all. the younger was getting nervous from the tension that was starting to build up.

"chan. his friend." he cleared his throat, trying to intimidate him without knowing who he actually is ."and you are?"

the elder chuckled emotionlessly and went towards him.

"hyunjin." he then looked at jeongin.

"his husband."
