Taeyong pov

I'm awake at the feeling of someone shaking my shoulder. I rub my eyes with the back of my hands and see a nurse leaning over the bed.

«The visit hours are finished, your friend needs to go home.»
She says, a light smile on her face at the 'friend' word.

«I'll be back in few minutes for the daily checkup.»
And she leaves, bowing a bit.

Jaehyun is still here, huddled in the sheets against me. His hands are gripping my shirt, holding me tight like he doesn't want me to go.
Cute.
I don't remember when we fall asleep.
His presence is strangely so comfortable. I already feel so safe in arms. I already miss his lips.

I should hate him. And I thought he hated me too.
But here we are.

«Jaehyun, wake up.»
I whisper in his ear.

He growls and stretch his arms in the air.
«What time is it?»
He asks, his sleepy voice deeper than usual.

«Almost midnight. You need to go home, visit hours are over.»
I tell, playing gently with locks of his hair.
«Baby?»
I call him as he looks up to me, our eyes meeting.
«Can I call you baby?»
I ask shyly as his ears turning red.

«Yes, you can. I like it.»
He answers as my fingers still are in his pink hair.

«I don't know why, and I know I shouldn't, but I think I like you.»
I tell him without thinking, it's like I needed to express my feelings.

«I think I like you too.»
His words are just a whisper, but I hear them.
«I'm so sorry, for everything.»
His voice is shaky, full of emotions.

«I know that you are.»
I comfort him. I can easily see how sorry he is.
«Now get up or the nurse going to be mad at me.»
I say as I gently hit his arm, giggling.

He gets up, make sure to have all his things and comes in front of me.
«Can I kiss you again?»

«You don't even have to ask.»
I answer, hypnotized by his beauty.

The kiss is slow. His hands caress my back and mine are gripping his neck.
His lips are soft and taste like peach, it's sweet.

After few minutes of lips moving against each other we move back, out of breath.

«See you tomorrow, sweetie.»
He says, empathizing the word 'sweetie'.

I feel my cheeks heating up at the cute nickname.
He takes his way to the door but when his hand is on the handle, I stop him.
«Jaehyun!»
He turns to look at me.
«I really like you.»
I say. My whole body is shaking, I'm telling out loud those forbidden words.

He smiles as his eyes runs through my face.
«I really like you too, sweetie.»
He answers as I feel my heart skipping a beat.
And with a last look, he opens the door and goes out.

I lie down on my bed again, and I look at the ceiling.
His words are repeating in my head.

'I like you too, sweetie.'
I can't help but smile. It's the first time I feel like this. My heart is beating fast and I can't get rid off that cheesy smile.

I don't know how it's possible to like someone you hated the day before, but I can surely tell he's sincere. And it's making me like him even more.

I shouldn't.
My brain keeps telling me that I should hate him after all he did to me these past years. But my heart feels a different way.

Listening to my brain or listening to my heart?
Giving Jaehyun another chance or not?

I'm taken out of my thoughts by the nurse coming in the room again.

«Checkup time. How are you feeling?»
She asks me.

«I feel great.»
I simply tell.

«I can see that, you have a cheesy smile paint on your face.»
She laughs as I blush, exposed.

«You don't think it's disgusting?»
I ask, surprised by her positive reaction.

«It's not disgusting, gender doesn't matter, the only thing that matters is your happiness. If this guy makes you want to live again, then I'm happy for you.»
She says in a motherly way.
«My brother was gay too.»
She makes a short pause and take a deep breath.
«He killed himself when he was sixteen, I was twelve. People at his high school bullied him and he didn't manage to get through it. Since his death I grew up wanted to be a nurse to help people. I couldn't have saved my brother, but I can help people to get better now by doing my job and I'm very happy about it.»
Tears are rolling on her cheeks, emotions overwhelming her.

«Thank you for telling me this. You're really doing a great job.»
I dry her tears with my thumbs in a childish way.
«Is Jaemin still awake?»
I ask her.

«No, he's sleeping already, and you should sleep too.»

«But I just woke up!»
I exclaim, not tired at all.

«Not my problem!»
She laughs.
«I need to finish my checkup. Try to sleep kid.»
She ruffles my hair before going out of the room.

Jaehyun is on my mind, I can't think about something else that him.

I already miss his touch, his kisses. I remember how soft his skin is, how our lips perfectly complemented each other.

I really like him a lot.

And he really likes me too.
