count on me┃jaeyong

⌜ nineteen ⌟

arriving at the front gates, taeyong took a deep breath as he had to take the front door since the back is closed. he had the biker right by his side, not wanting to leave his friend after what had just happened a while ago. if possible, he wanted to talk to his mother and tell her about her son's condition. but that would cross the line, johnny already discussed this with taeyong and the younger preferred that it should be him telling his mother that.

❝what did we talk about meals?❞ johnny spoke, noticing that they were already standing there for a minute in silence.

letting out a sigh, taeyong looked everywhere but his worried friend. ❝i should not skip.❞

❝how about your meds?❞ the biker had his arms folded across his chest as it looked like he was interrogating his stubborn friend.

❝i should take them at the prescribed time, not to leave out a single one.❞ taeyong answered.

humming in agreement, johnny had another follow up question. ❝and if you run out of it?❞

❝i should not panic and go to the nearest pharmacy to buy one.❞ and to think that was the only correct answer, the shorter male stared up at the biker only to see him having a brow raised, waiting for him to continue. another sigh was then heard from taeyong. ❝or call you if i feel tired.❞

❝wrong,❞ johnny lifted both his hands and settled them down on the smaller's shoulders. ❝you should call me the moment it runs out. in that way, i can talk to your doctor and ask her what else you should take or what you should do.❞

pressing his lips into a tight thin line, taeyong should have known his friend would act like this. imagine if yuta also gets to know his condition, it would be chaos. he'd probably not have any freedom at all. but now that a risky situation had happened, maybe johnny is also going to start being strict on his freedom more.

he couldn't blame anyone but himself. he chose to take this path, he agreed to be of help, he chose to get attached to him,

and it was his choice to fall in love.

the younger's silence then made johnny give him another question. ❝what about physical activities?❞

they already have talked about this back in the hospital, with jaehyun's phone always ringing until they decided to go home. there was no way johnny would leave him alone so the biker first sent him to where he is living to make sure he's fine. ❝only pick those who doesn't tire me out.❞

❝and since we share the same p.e. class, leave the exhausting exercises, alright? i'll take responsibility for you.❞ johnny's eyes wandered while thinking of more questions so the younger would be reminded of the points he had to take consideration for the sake of living. ❝your inhaler, taeyong, this is important.❞
