"Seungmin-." He called out again. "Don't say a word." The words push out harshly. My head is spinning to fast. Just stop... "Please listen to me. Please just look at me. Hmm?" Changbin crouches over the boy that is again curled up. His head lifts up and all Changbin can see is a quivering boy. Flushed cheeks and puffy eyes. Yet, he looks completely lifeless. Changbin's sight was surely hard to see.

The calm and collective boy is cracked. A side which he never would be revealed from such a confident and strong boy. "Your shoulder." Seungmin stares with tears in his eyes. A blue cast covers the boy's arm. "I'm fine, really." He reaches for Seungmin's hand which shakes at his touch. "Please don't blame yourself. You did nothing wrong-."

"I ran away. I didn't help you at all." His tears falls silently down his face once again. "I'm the one that fell stupid." He said while rubbing circles around his hand with his thumb. "Don't worry too much."

"I'm sorry." Seungmin begins to say. "For what now?" Changbin said. "For being clueless. You knew yet I never figured that you'd like me back. I'm sorry for being so slow."

"Don't be. We're friends, remember?" Friends. "Yeah, we're friends." Seungmin smiles weakly. Not only was his smile weak, he was overall really weak. His visions blur further and his head spins farther. "Seungmin, you don't look well." He places his hand towards the boys forehead which burned against his touch. "My goodness, you're burning like crazy. C'mon, I'll help you up." Seungmin throws himself against Changbin as they trudged to the clinic.

"Seungmin, you're burning with a 106. You could be seriously hurt if you were any higher." Mr. Hwan said. Seungmin's breath is hot and slow as Changbin places the cold towel against his forehead. "You're gonna have to be resting for a while. But, do you know how this may have happened? It's not easy to get such a high temperature." Mr. Hwan questions. "I've.... haven't slept..... for three days..... until now...." Seungmin struggled to say.

"Seungmo..." Changbin pains to hear. Why would you. "I understand that studies are important to you but please. Don't push yourself that far ever again." Mr. Hwan words were strict but caring.

"I.... won't...." he breathes out one last time before he falls into a deep sleep once again.

"Seungmo."

"Seungmin."

"Seungminnie~~~."

His eyes flutter to see all his friends surrounding him. "Guys.." he weakly says. "You have to take care of yourself better from now on, okay?" Chan said strictly. "Seriously, why would you do that." He rubs at the crook of his neck. Jeongin quickly grabbed the attention of the curly haired boy by giving him a tight squeeze of the hand. "Don't worry. He'll get better soon, right Seungmin?"

Seungmin stares at the loving couple with his best attentive eyes. Damn, I'm crazy jealous. "Of course. Don't worry too much and don't visit too much. I'm fine." Out of the short glance of his eyes, he sees Felix, scratching at his wrists vigorously. "Felix, seriously. I'm fine." He gave a weak smile. Felix slowly stopped scratching. "Okay. I believe you." He returns that weak smile. Oh how they tell two different stories.

"Oh, I almost forgot." Changbin quickly places the service tray on the bed and set up various health foods and supplements. "Oranges might burn the throat so I got you vitamin c supplements instead. Also, I have mackerel rice porridge that's rich in omega 3 fats and protein. Also, warm water for a more easier consumption of the pills and-." Changbin quickly stops as he here's a harmonic laugh coming from Seungmin. He clutched his stomach and even falls forward in content. I miss that. Changbin thought. I really miss that.

"Felix." Changbin called out as they left the clinic. The Australian quickly turns back on his heel. "Can I speak to you for a moment." He stares at the floor, too shy to look at his eyes now. A quick blush appears on Felix. "Yeah, of course."

Changbin grabs Felix by the hand to drag them to the rooftop. There, they go into the lush green house with exotic plants and browning flowers. Changbin turns around to see Felix in awe of the room. "What a beautiful sight."

Not as beautiful as you.

Omg Changbin shut the fuck up. He blushes at the thought. Changbin reaches for both of Felix hands and grabbed on to them tenderly. "Changbin, whats going on?" He blushes back at the boy sudden soft side. "I have to confess to something that I've been thinking quite deeply of for a while now, ever since you got here." He kicks at the loose soil beneath him.

"Ever since you landed here in Korea again about 1 month ago, I couldn't help but stare at everything about you. Your soft dyed hair, your button nose, and your intergalactic freckles I could play connect-the-dots on all day." Felix giggled at the sweet words. Good, a good sign. Changbin told himself.

"Your personality has really bloomed and I couldn't help but fall in love with it. So I want to tell you. I like you. Like, really like you-." He was stopped by the sudden crash of Felix's lips into his. "That's all I needed to hear." Felix deeply kisses him again. He pulls back after a short while. "Cause I like you, too." They both giggle, then blush.

"Ugh," Changbin couldn't keep resist and hugged the boy. "I'm so happy you do."

"Me too." The two laugh it out.

In a green house with withering flowers, stood the most beautiful and blooming flower of them all. A flower of blooming love.
