⌜ thirty three ⌟

❝that's too risky,❞ jaehyun commented after reading the thick ass book that he dumped down on his bed, along with dozens of medical books he went to borrow from the close doctors he knew and also from the school library. ❝but there should be a way that can put him back to his normal state without undergoing surgery, right?❞

he was talking to himself, and of course he was already aware of it. jaehyun would even have his meals served inside his room sometimes with his mother always telling him how crazy he always looks whenever he's too serious with his work. well, this is a serious matter he is facing right now. and even though it isn't his problem, he had made a choice to put it as his responsibility. which is why, he has to find a way that can cure taeyong's heart condition. obviously, the medicines and the daily check ups aren't enough. he was also doing rounds at the hospital to know more about the older's unstable health case.

jaehyun was doing everything without knowing that he was dedicating most of his time in this rather than focusing on doing what makes taeyong happy. after all, he should know very well that laughter is the best medicine. not literally, but making the older smile and giving him the time of his life would have been the great way to make him forget that he has a condition to begin with.

❝but if he goes through surgery,❞ pausing for a while, he stared out of no where to ponder before flipping the pages from one book to another until he could find a continuation of his sentence. ❝we will have to find a possible heart donor.❞

that would be a hard task considering that he'd have to find someone healthy and is not going through a disease or any existing illness for that matter. getting up from the bed, jaehyun reached out for his phone and was supposed to check his classes tomorrow and see which one he can skip, wanting to make an appointment with his personal doctor and see if he can help with this.

but before he can skip the date of the calendar to tomorrow, he now received a phone call from a certain someone. undeniably, it made him smile, but he was somehow upset that he had to disturb him while being in the middle of finding a solution for this problem. nonetheless, he picked up the call and answered it. ❝taeyong?❞

"what are you doing?"

pressing the phone to his ear, jaehyun took one specific book and read the contents in it while also entertaining to the older's phone call. ❝studying.❞

"come on, jaehyun never really studies!" he may not be physically present in front of him but he could see the smaller male pouting right now.

❝well, i do now.❞ he said with a chuckle.

a huff was then heard coming from the older male. "why? your finals is, like, two months away!"

❝it won't hurt studying in advance.❞ it wasn't really a lie, this terms he was learning from the books and from the discussion he had with his doctor were too advance for him that he had to quickly catch up to understand.
