Dianthus Caryophyllus; A Soonhoon Fic 09

I heard the tires screech to a stop as hoshi’s body fell onto the floor with a thud.

“Hoshi!” I quickly ran up to him.

“Quick! Chan! Call the ambulance!” Scoups was on another call with Jun to ask them to go to the hospital and take care of jihoon, informing them about what had happened before calling our manager. 

“Hoshi, stay with me…” I couldn’t help the tears from falling as I cradled his head in my arms and used my hoodie to stop the bleeding from the side of his head. 

Soon the ambulance came and he was wheeled into the hospital emergency room as I sat on the seat outside, stunned, head leaning onto joshua’s shoulder. He was running his hand though my  hair, which managed to calm me down a little, but the shock from the incident did not pass.

Why hoshi? Why are you so impulsive?! 

This was on all 11 of our minds.

I did not blame him because if Joshua was in the same state I would have done the same, or maybe worse, but I could not help feel that destiny was too cruel towards the 2 of them.

“Shua, can we go look at ji?” I nudged him in the side and whispered.

“Hannie… You should rest… You have been stressed up because of them these few days…”

“I’m fine. They need more attention and we need to stay strong for them.” We walked to the room to see the rest of the group there except coups. 

“Hey hyungs.” Jihoon weakly greeted as we entered. It seemed as if the rest of them have not told jihoon about soonyoung. Good. He did not need something to further impact him at this time of vulnerability. 

“Hey ji, how are you feeling?”

“I’m used to the throwing up. Just tired.”

“Ji… Do consider the surgery please?”

“Can I talk to you and dino alone?”

I motioned for dino to come forward and the rest to leave to the emergency ward. 

“yes?”

“What happened to soonyoung.”

“huh?”

“What happened to soonyoung” He repeated.

“Nothing hyung, he just got to choreograph another song and stayed at the practice room.”

“Everyone’s faces say otherwise and jeonghan hyung your shirt has blood splattered on it. Tell me, is he injured.”

“H-He’s fine ji, just a small injury because of practice earlier.”

“It’s confirm more than that.”

“H-Hyung, please d-don’t o-overreact… H-Hoshi hyung g-got into an accident…”

“WHAT! A-AND Y-YOU GUYS DIDNT BOTHER TO TELL ME?!”

“hyung calm down please. This isn’t good for your body.” 

Slowly, we recounted the story for him.

“C-Can I-I see h-him?”

“He’s in the emergency ward. Even though the car was not going at an extremely fast speed, he is injured quite badly.”

He only looked away from us. I could see the tears streaming down his cheeks even though his hands were covering his face.

“He is strong ji, he will fight on.” We enveloped him in a hug, trying our best to comfort him.

(later that day)

At the emergency ward:

A man in his mid 40s clad in full white and PPE walked out.

“Are you guys here for Kwon Soonyoung?” 

The 11 of us nodded.

“Thankfully the car was not going at a very fast speed. However he suffered from a slight concussion and is currently in a coma. He should wake up in a few days so not to worry. He fractured 3 ribs and his left leg but it would heal in around 6 weeks. His leg needs to be in a cast while his chest area should not be wrapped or anything. The other cuts and bruises are fine and would heal in around a week. He cannot do any promotion or activities for at least 3 months.” 

We all nodded in understanding.

“Anyone here knows of the disease he had 6 years ago? We have it in our records but we need to talk to those who knew.” 

Me and Chan raised our hands as we bit out lips in worry. The rest of the members looked at us confused.

“Ok, you guys can visit him in room 508. The two of you please follow me.”

“Thank you” The 9 of them muttered as they practically ran into the lift.

We followed him to his clinic where he made us sit on a sofa opposite him and started to talk in a grave tone.

“He had hanahaki 6 years ago am I right?”

We nodded.

“And he had done the surgery to remove the flowers and the feelings?”

We nodded again.

“There is a chance that after this accident his feelings of love would come back.”

We gave puzzled expressions as he continued to explain.

“The surgery done is to remove the feelings, so basically his head remembers but his heart forgets. However, as the surgery is done on the chest area, both his lungs and heart are affected. This time, by his ribs being fractured, it affected the chest area. Cases has shown that people who suffer from chest injuries after getting the surgery have 100% gotten back their ability to love. But as we do not have enough information about reversing hanahaki surgery as there has only be very little cases around the world, we have to be extra cautious. 

However, this may not be a good thing either because he may like the person he liked 6 years ago with much more passion than before and if he gets hanahaki again he would 80% die from it in the early stages and a second operation isn’t feasible. So it would be good if you could work something out if he ever likes the same person again.”

“We understand. Thank you doc.”

We shook hands with him before going to soonyoung’s room. A weight taken off but yet a new weight added on our shoulders.
