after that heart-breaking scene, the three of them decided to stay at beomgyu's place for the mean time. they can't leave the boy alone, especially at his vulnerable moment.

beomgyu's mother was kind enough to cook them dinner, and didn't bother to ask questions even though she saw their eyes earlier-which is all red and puffy from all the crying.

"hyung," soobin turned his head to face beomgyu. the two of them are lying on the floor of beomgyu's room, since they can't all fit into his bed. they just let taehyun and kai occupy it.

"hey buddy," he replied. beomgyu looked calm now, but he can still see the sadness in his eyes.

"how did yeonjun lose his..?" beomgyu's voice faltered, it's as if he's too hurt to speak about what happened.

soobin stared at the ceiling for a moment, then back at him.

"he told me he got into an accident a year ago. i think it was before he moved to busan, and that's when his eye sight started to deteriorate."

"what accident?"

"he didn't really explained it in details. he just said that his clumsiness was at fault."

beomgyu sighed. "but it still can be fixed right?"

the older ruffled his hair. "of course. just trust him okay? he got this."

he smiled. he knows that. yeonjun isn't the type of person to give up that easily.

they stared at the ceiling for a couple of minutes, listening to the silence.

"so, when are you going to admit that you have feelings for yeonjun?" soobin whispered after.

beomgyu was taken aback. "wait- what? how did you-?"

soobin laughed, then hit him with a plushie. "c'mon, you spent months crying over him and all that. you really think you were subtle? i knew you like him. we knew."

he blushed. yeah, he likes yeonjun. but it wasn't a big deal before, since he thought that his best friend won't be back. he never really dwell on that matter.

he realized it after a month of not seeing his face. it felt like torture, not being able to be with him. at first he thought of it was just an attachment to a best friend. but then his feelings grew as months passed.

he chuckled nervously. "well, i like him. but now things got complicated so i really think it's a wrong time to deal with my feelings."

soobin stared at him. he doesn't know what beomgyu actually feels, but he knows how painful it is for the boy to experience all of this. his best friend-whom he actually likes-left him without a word and kept his condition from him. yet he never hated and doubted yeonjun.

"listen," soobin held his hand.

"i know it's been hard, but hold on a little longer. all of this will be over soon." the older tried to assure him.

he nodded. he knew that. but he can't stop thinking about the fact that yeonjun was alone when his condition got worst. who knows what he felt on those past months.

---

it's saturday. beomgyu's been waiting for this day to come. he's seated beside kai, while taehyun and soobin are standing behind them. they're waiting for the bus to arrive.

they're going to visit yeonjun.

beomgyu's feeling a lot of emotions right now. excitement, nervousness-he feels all the terrifying butterflies on the pit of his stomach. oh gods, he hates this.

"hyung, are you nervous?" kai asked all of a sudden. he shrugged, slightly denying the fact that he is nervous.

the younger chuckled, now looking amused. "really? because you've been shaking your legs nonstop since we got here."

he immediately stopped his legs from moving. "what? when was that?"

"just now."

"what? no, i'm not even moving my legs."

kai sighed then smiled sarcastically at him. "you know what, nevermind. it's all in my head. i'm imagining things."

beomgyu was about to say something but soobin already dragged them inside the bus. he sat beside taehyun whilst admiring the view outside.

after an hour and a half, they finally arrived at the hospital.

beomgyu closed his eyes then breathe. he feels like his heart is going to burst soon. he needs to calm himself. he got this.

"beom," taehyun whispered softly, slowly holding his hand.

"don't be scared. i'm here. we're here. you'll finally see him." he smiled at taehyun, then held his hand tightly.

they entered the building. soobin talked to the nurses while the three of them just waited. they rode the elevator and followed the nurse until she stopped at a certain room.

"he's inside. just look for me if there's any problem," the nurse smiled then walked away.

soobin looked at him, and then opened the door.

beomgyu took a deep breath. this is it. he stepped inside, his eyes wander around the room until he saw a familiar face.

"y-yeonjun..."

"h-hi. i missed you."
