Dianthus Caryophyllus; A Soonhoon Fic 06

“Soonyoung! Quick! Come back to the dorms!” I could hear Jeonghan hyung’s panicked tone through the receiver as I picked up the call after hearing my phone ring for the 10th time in a minute. I was dancing and ignored the previous rings, but gave up on hearing the 10th ring.

“Hyung? What happened.”

“Its Jihoon…H-He” As soon as I heard his name, I immediately picked my stuff up, ran out of the studio and back to the dorms, the worst possible scenario playing in my head over and over again.

“Hyung! I’m coming. W-What happened to him.” I knew I had to ask although I did not like how he sounded and actually did not want to know what happened to him. 

“He had a very bad coughing fit and threw up a lot of blood and petals. The rest of them saw and only me and dino knows how to help him but its not enough. We tried everything we did for you when you had it bur he cannot stop vomiting and is hyperventilating from the lack of air. You experienced it yourself, please… help…”

“Call an ambulance. I’ll be there in 5.” I hung up and sprinted as fast as my legs could carry me. Luckily the studio was not that far away from the dorms.

I rang the doorbell incessantly when I reached the door. 

“Hoshi hyung…” I heard seungkwan say, face full of tears as he opened it but I burst past him and into his room.

Inside, blood and petals were around him, jeonghan hyung and dino trying to help while shua hyung called the ambulance, jun hyung and wonwoo were comforting the younger ones. I threw my bag to the side, not caring where it went and crouched down next to him, helping him force out the petals and blood, while rubbing circles on his back. 

He was clearly hyperventilating from the lack of air and tears streaked down his eyes. Breathless coughs continued escaping from his bloodied lips, coupled with more and more yellow petals laced with red.

“hoonie, breath. Count with me.

5…” 

I tried to get his breathing stable and was drenched in his blood but I didn’t care. All I cared about was the smaller one in my arms. 

Not much later, the ambulance arrived. They had to pry him from my arms. Dino and coups hyung then went off with the ambulance while the other members went off in the van.

“Hoshi, go shower, you are drenched in blood.” I only walked into the bathroom, taking a set of new clothes and my towel with me, following my hyung’s instructions without another word, still in a daze because of what happened.

When I arrived at the hospital with jeonghan hyung, I saw the other 10 of them on the chairs outside the A&E. Tears continued streaming down their already tear-stained cheeks, and the older ones were trying their best to comfort the younger ones who were breaking apart from seeing their woozi hyung in this state. But it was clearly not working as everyone was shaken.

The scene reminded me of when I had the illness. At that time, Jeonghan hyung and dino were  just like that,, crying because of the news.  If the rest of them had knew it then, they would also be crying like right now, or maybe even worse. They would also have been devastated. I don’t want my fellow members to feel like that, that’s why, no matter what, I will make sure he gets healed from his illness, not only for everyone who cares about him, but most importantly, for him. He did nothing to deserve all these stupid sufferings.
