"you called him?" heeseung groaned, sitting on the hospital bed.

he didn't want to be here. he wants to leave as soon as possible, but jake is making a huge fuss about him fainting earlier- which definitely isn't a big deal to him.

"look, i'm sorry but i didn't know who to call..." jake is holding onto his phone, "and i thought jay didn't see my texts because he wasn't responding earlier."

he glanced at the boy who is just standing on the side, leaning on the wall. jay seemed to be busy doing something on his phone.

"it's okay, i'm sorry... and thanks for bringing me here." heeseung brushed his hand along his hair.

"thanks jake, it's a good thing you were with heeseung." jay muttered, his eyes still glued on his phone.

jake exhaled, now feeling the adrenaline leave his body. his shoulders slumped as he sit on the chair beside heeseung's bed. he was just supposed to meet the older for a quick consult about the app that he's been coding, and he didn't know that heeseung wasn't feeling well.

when they were walking right outside the university, heeseung just collapsed- which almost set jake's heart on a stop. good thing he caught him quickly before he fell to the ground.

the guard of yonsei called the ambulance to help them and then jake started calling jay, but the latter wasn't picking up. he also texted him, but there was no reply so he had to call sunoo instead.

i thought i was doing the right thing, but i made him mad instead.

"why weren't you answering anyways? i called you, like, a million times." jake glanced at jay's direction.

"i was busy. i have a life, if you're not aware."

"a life, huh. you weren't like that bef-" jake stops talking halfway when the door opened, revealing sunghoon with disheveled hair.

the guy looks around, observing the atmosphere inside the room.

"oops, did i arrive at the wrong time?" sunghoon whistled, walking towards heeseung.

he lightly hits the back of heeseung's head. "hey there idiot. what happened to you?"

"i'm fine, just fatigue and stress." heeseung removes the blanket on top of him. "can we go now? this is embarassing."

jay raised an eyebrow. "nope, you can't go yet. sunoo will be here in a few minutes so..."

sunghoon looked at jay, "huh? why would sunoo go here? he's busy with his date. don't bother him."

"too late for that now." he stares at jay in disbelief.

"okay, well fuck." he massaged his temple. "i think i'm gonna need a smoke."

++++++++++

when sunoo arrived, he was calmer than expected. he walked fast towards the room where heeseung is confined, while riki tails behind him.

"hyung?" sunoo opens the door, taking huge steps towards heeseung.

he didn't mind the other people who are in the same room as he got focused on heeseung who was sitting on the bed.

"what on earth are you doing these days?" he pressed the back of his hand on the older's forehead, checking his temperature.

"sun, i swear i'm fine now. it's just fatigue."

"fatigue? are you not getting any sleep again?" sunoo's tone was reprimanding. "if jake wasn't there, what do you think would've happened to you?"

"stop with the what ifs, nothing bad happened to me."

"yeah? good for you then." sunoo glared at the older, feeling annoyed by his nonchalance.

sunghoon cleared his throat as a reminder that they're still in the same room with the others.

"stop stressing out the patient, sun." he looked around. "where the hell is the doctor here even?" sunghoon eyed jay, signalling something to the boy.

jay sighed. "let's get something to eat." he gestured to jake to go with him, while the latter obediently followed.

nishimura was about to sit on one of the chairs when sunghoon stopped him. "what?"

"i think i'm gonna need a check-up. go with me." he grinned before dragging the freshman with him.

"huh? wait hoon-" sunoo was about to protest but sunghoon just waved at him while closing the door, leaving him and heeseung alone.

maybe it's about time that i un-friend sunghoon.

+++++++++

"you don't like me for sunoo hyung, do you?" ni-ki brings up while they walk outside of the hospital, towards the smoking area.

sunghoon chuckles lightly, opening up his box of cigarettes. "don't get your hopes up, i don't have the time to hate you."

"then why would you drag me here and leave sunoo hyung with his ex?"

"because they need to talk in private, dumbass." sunghoon puts one of the cigs between his lips, then fishing out his lighter inside his pocket.

nishimura sighed, getting a bit frustrated. he feels frustrated by the fact that even if sunoo hyung's with him, he still can't replace heeseung out of sunoo's life.

their bond, the years they spent together in getting to know each other- just thinking about it makes riki suffocate with jealousy.

"ah, poor you." sunghoon snickers as he sees nishimura's face. "i told you before, i want to see you pursue sunoo. and you did it! congratulations."

he claps his hands as if he's trying to annoy ni-ki more. "but are you satisfied though? dating sunoo is different compared to him giving you his full undivided attention."

"stop talking like that," ni-ki mumbled. "i understand sunoo hyung and i don't care about anyone else's opinions."

sunghoon smirks, "aw, how sweet."

ni-ki looked at him, glaring. "how can you talk like that? sunoo hyung is your friend."

"he is, nishimura." he glares back. "i know him best, that's why i'm telling you- heeseung is always gonna be his priority, and you cannot change that."

"will you still understand that and stay with him? knowing damn well that you will always be a second choice in his life?"

nishimura remained silent on his feet. he couldn't even disagree with what sunghoon has said because deep down, he knows it's true.

i'm only second to heeseung, and i probably won't be first no matter how hard i try.

y'all ready to know heesun's backstory? :)
