anlovn ❀ okay i cried, did we all cry? yes. thanks for the recommendation. i freaking love thissss (~3.6k)
Heeseung has been working tirelessly for weeks. He chains training, important appointments, shootings, appearances with brands...
Everyone can easily notice his fatigue. Especially you, his girlfriend.
Since you live together, you notice absolutely everything. The meals he skips, the consistent working hours and the time he comes home in the evening (or rather at night) and the insomnia he has due to stress and pressure.
As soon as he has the short opportunity, he rests even if he constantly answers that he will do it "later".
You try to take care of him because you know that if you don't, he won't either.
The members also notice it. He is often elsewhere and has trouble concentrating because his body has no strength.
But despite everything, he still continues to give the best of himself. He thinks about his career before himself.
And the first thing he answers every time you ask how he feels is this famous phrase "I'm fine" that he expresses with a little smile just to hide his pain.
That morning, he gets out of bed without a word. He doesn't even take the time to swallow something.
He get ready quietly without trying to make noise. What wakes you up anyway.
You find him sitting at the kitchen counter. As if he was just waiting for time to pass to go to work. You join him quietly, still a little sleepy.
You try to force him to eat something. He can't swallow anything. You force him to drink. Fortunately, he managed to drink a few sips of water.
He thanks you calmly. His gaze is lost in the void. You feel that he is not doing well but you don't want him to talk to you if he don’t want. You just sit calmly next to him and take his hand. Encircling his fingers with yours to make him understand that you’re there for him.
You stay like this until he has to leave. You accompany him to the door and take him in your arms, his chin resting on your head. He always enjoy this moment. As if he hoped that everything he could not express could be transmitted from body to body.
You finally push your head back after long minutes, your eyes riveted on his.
"Take care of yourself, if there’s a problem call me, i will always be there for you. ”
He reassures you that everything will go well and that he will always think of you, like every day.
You kiss him tenderly then he leaves calmly.
You didn’t work today. It's your day off. So you take the opportunity to relax completely. You lay on the couch with lots of snacks, watching a series. you read from time to time, you take care of yourself...
Until you receive several calls from Jake. You don't answer at the beginning, too focused on this series you've been waiting for so long. And you are used to with Jake, he calls you from time to time to talk to you about nothing and simply making you waste your time. You tell yourself that he’s once again in this mood. What could be so serious anyway...
You start receiving calls from every members. So it’s only here that you begin to tell yourself that something isn’t normal.
You pause your series and finally pick up at Jake's 20th call.
"Yes—" you don't have time to finish your sentence that he cuts you off instantly.
"Y/n, heeseung just fainted, we called for help but they can't wake him up." his voice is completely panicked. You've never heard him talk like that.
You’re shocked by what he tells you, you even believe in a bad joke from him at first. You’re tetanized. He continues.
"Come to the hospital now, we'll meet there and I'll explain everything to you. ”
You whisper an almost silent "okay" and hang up. You fix a point in front of you for a very long time, still in shock.
Then you end your relaxing afternoon and go quickly to your car. You just have time to take your bag with your phone and you start the car.
On the road, you ask yourself thousands of questions, to which you still have the answer.
You could see that he was not well at all. You even blame yourself. Maybe if you forced him to eat this morning. It wouldn't have happened. Maybe you hadn't been there enough for him. Maybe it's your fault.
Tears come to your eyes. Your gaze is fixed on the road but you are completely distracted. You even make a lot of driving mistakes by being elsewhere. But at the moment, that's not what matters to you.
You arrive at the hospital, go to the reception to introduce yourself.
"Hello, i come to see Lee Heeseung. ”
"Great, we were waiting for you. ”
So she tells you where the floor and his room are.
You take the elevator and finally arrive, still out of breath to have rushed.
You find jake, sunoo and jungwon in the waiting room, who are the only ones to have accompanied him. (Not because the others didn't want to, of course, just that the nurses told them it wasn't possible).
Jungwon goes around in circles, Jake and Sunoo get up when they see you coming. You ask them what happened, they explain everything to you.
"We were training as always. At a rather normal pace." begins jungwon "then when the music stopped, it feels like it was a signal for him, heeseung collapsed on the floor." your eyes fill with tears again, he continues "we directly called the ambulance while talking to him to hope for a miracle but he didn't wake up. So the nurses arrived and took out a lot of machines, nothing worked... so they took him here. The doctor has just passed by telling us that his condition is worrying and that he still hasn't woken up. ”
At the end of these words, Jungwon cries but turns to try to hide and goes for a walk again. So you turn to Jake and Sunoo who sat down again. Their gaze is elsewhere, riveted on the ground, just like yours.
Your overthink everything, you don't understand.
So you also sit down, questioning everything. None of you speak, far too lost on what has just happened. You still don't realize. You were only spending your afternoon quietly with yourself, and now you’re in the hospital.
A doctor finally comes out of the block, he greets you and announces "we are doing everything possible right now. Thank you for waiting again." he now asks you questions after asking the boys before. You explain to him the intensive training, the abundant hours of work, the many missed meals, all the mental pressure he undergoes... The doctor listens to you carefully and notes all the elements he needs. He finally thanks you all.
You sit back down and take out your phone. You know you shouldn't do that. That it will make you suffer even more, but you open your conversation with heeseung and even come across a message he sent you shortly before the drama. You hadn't seen it earlier. As soon as you read it, your heart breaks into a thousand pieces.
"Don't wait for me tonight, I'm coming home late, sleep without me, I love you ❤️"
It's as if this message made you realize everything at once. Sunoo, next to you, notices it and takes a look at your screen, he understands immediately.
After struggling for hours, you cry. Your tears fall abundantly on your cheeks like a river. You lean forward with your head in your hands, your elbows resting on your knees. You wonder how this could have happened to you. You feel the looks of other people in the waiting room but you don't care, it's not your biggest worry at the moment. Tears don't stop.
You feel a warm hand rest against your back, caressing calmly to reassure you. Sunoo whispers to you "don't worry y/n it will be fine, we are with you"
You don't even raise your head and try to get the few words you can out. "i should have insisted that he rest... i should have been more present for him..." you evoke all your doubts and thoughts that have been in your head for hours. You don't stop crying, your body trembles, your eyes begin to swell.
"He will get out of it we just have to be patient..." these words reassure you a little, you realize that now, where you are, you can't do anything and just wait. You straighten up and put your head on sunoo's shoulder.
Sometimes you manage to calm down a little and then the sobs come back.
Jungwon does not stop going back and forth, he chains the coffees and brings it back to the members. You refuse to drink it.
The hours go by so slowly. You've been sitting on this chair for more than 4 hours. Night has been falling for a while now. You receive many notifications and messages but you don't read any and don't respond to anyone, not even your family. You don't wanna talk to anyone. You don't leave the waiting room being too afraid that the doctor will arrive while you’re not there.
After remaining silent for a while, Jake finally gets up and glances at you. Your head is still resting against sunoo's shoulder, your gaze is totally lost in the void, your eyes are red, your tears flow without you controlling them now.
So he whispers discreetly to Sunoo that he’s going to look for something. So he comes back with four sandwiches, he gives them to each of the members and hands one in front of you "here y/n, you should eat a little." you don't even look at him and simply whisper "I don't want it" he still puts it next to you in case your opinion changes. The sandwich will eventually remain closed all night.
The hospital is now very quiet, it’s about 3 am. The wait becomes dying. You are exhausted. After a long time of struggle not to fall asleep, fatigue catches up with you faster. Your head hits the wall behind you, you fall asleep. Time passed a bit more faster thanks to this.
When you wake up, Jake is now next to you. He took off his jacket and put it around you. You emerge slowly and don't understand. He looks at you calmly while your eyes get used to the strong light of the hospital.
"Sunoo and Jungwon left while you were sleeping. They said it was useless to wait for 4, they told me to give them news and that they will come back if necessary." he explains to you softly. You just nod slightly.
"I gave you my jacket because you were shaking in your sleep." You’re still a little sleepy and therefore take time to understand him"thank you" you finally say. He smiles softly at you.
Then the door of the block opens suddenly. You raise your head right away...
False alert, it's only a patient who has just entered.
Your eyes are swollen, your head hurts from crying, you don't eat anything and you’re dying of cold.
Then suddenly the door of the block reopens.
"lee heeseung’s family? ”
You and Jake get up instantly. You go to the doctor. Your face is filled with worry and a little bit of hope after all these hours of waiting...
The doctor slowly removes his mask. His gaze goes from Jake to you.
Your heart beats so hard that you feel like you can't hear anything anymore.
Then he lets out a slight sigh.
"You can blow... He's out of danger. He suffers from significant anemia, with lack of sleep and exhaustion, his body eventually gave way. But his condition is now stable. He is then out of danger. ”
At the end of his words you collapse, literally. Jake barely has time to catch up you. So you cry in his arms.
All the stress of this day finally falls. All these hours desperately waiting for the slightest information about his condition. You feel Jake crying too. The doctor stays back for a few seconds sympathizing with what you feel.
But he finally cuts you off "He's not awake yet but only one person can go see him in his room. ”
Jake breaks away from you and immediately looks you in the eyes "go ahead y/n"
You take him in your arms one last time and wave to greet him before following the doctor.
You try to hold back your tears in front of the doctor.
You finally arrive in front of his room "you can enter but pay attention to him and his condition. Call us as soon as he wakes up." you nod.
He leaves, and here you are. Now alone in front of his bedroom door. You inhale deeply and open it calmly. You enter and close the door behind you. You gently raise your head and finally see him...
He’s laying on the bed, his eyes are closed, full of machines you didn’t know existed, making a lot of noise around him. Your eyes fill with tears again. You put your hands in front of your mouth and your face by shock.
You approach calmly. Your steps are silent. You arrive next to him, you stare at him.
Your hands slowly descend along your body. You see him breathing slowly. It's as if the world had just stopped for you. This moment you have dreamed of so much all day, you are finally living it.
After long minutes you finally take the chair next to the bed and sit on it. You look at him deeply. His torso rising and lowering with each breath, it reassures you.
You extend your hand, a little hesitant and finally grab his. This contact completely breaks you. You cry without being able to control yourself. Between your sobs you manage to find some words "You scared me so much, i was so scared for you..."
you lower your head and come to put it against his stomach. You caress his fingers to feel him close to you and realize what is happening.
You cry, you cry and you cry, while he’s still unconscious.
You finally raise your head to look at him again. You approach his hand to your lips and kiss his hand and all his fingers, you want to show him that you are there and you know that he can feel that.
You calm down a little and tell him the day that you went through with the members. You express all your doubts to him even if he doesn't hear them.
You say that during the entire waiting time, you only remembered your moments as a couple: your projects, your complicit moments or even banal arguments.
Obviously you constantly remind him how much you love him. All this makes you smile as you tell it.
Then at the end of your words, fatigue begins to return. You have been in the hospital since the afternoon, it’s now almost 5am...
So you look at him one last time, get up slowly and place a tender kiss on his cheek. You hope deep down that it can wake him up, but nothing happens.
So you sit down and rest your head against his stomach again. Your eyes close slowly and sleep catches up with you faster than you thought.
You are half asleep. Your eyes open from time to time and close just as quickly.
But suddenly, when you gently beat your eyes, you feel a stronger pressure on your hand. The one who was always link with heeseung’s one.
You raise your head right away.
His hand tightens yours. His facial expression tenses a little, his eyebrows frown. Then...
He blinks his eyes a little before opening them with difficulty. He looks a little lost so you don't want to scare him right away.
His eyes flutter several times. He looks at the ceiling. Then the machines.
Finally he hardly turns his head towards you. As if he was trying to figure out where he is.
"Heeseung?” You repeat as if you hadn't noticed that his eyes were open.
He sighs a little and lowers his head slightly towards you. You stare at him, your eyes on him, you don't believe it.
He looks at you for a long time too then ends up giving you a little weak smile when he sees your swollen, red eyes, your cheeks filled with dried tears…
"Y/n" he finally tells you in a weak voice.
He squeezes your hand a little more seeing that you don't realize.
" Are you really awake?” You ask a little stupidly. He weakly nods, the smile he gives you that you’ve dreamed of seeing so much. Your eyes fill with tears again.
You get up from your chair and gently take his face in your hands.
You stare at every part of his face. Your thumbs gently caress his cheeks, sometimes his lips, to feel him again. You look him in the eyes and calmly ask him "can i... take you in my arms? ”
He smiles even more at your delicacy "Come..."
You almost fall into his arms while trying not to hurt him. You really pay attention to him.
Then you finally cry, again, but in his arms. His warmth, his smell envelops you. You finally feel good and in your place, next to him.
He notices everything, your red eyes, your messy hair, Jake's jacket, the never opened sandwich placed on the next table, which you took the trouble to bring there.
"Did you eat?” He asks you softly.
You raise your head to look at him, your tears are still flowing. You sniff gently. "No, but it doesn't matter, it wasn't my priority. ”
He raises his hand very gently and wipes the tears on your cheeks.
"I'm sorry, i scared you," he finally says. He can't hold back anymore and cries.
He takes you in his arms. Your crying both synchronized.
You whisper in his neck "Don't ever do that to me again...i... i thought i was losing you—" you didn't want these words to come out because you knew they would break you. But you do it.
He gently caresses your hair, his tears falling into it.
You finally straighten up a little. You look at each other’s. You both smile and laugh sweetly, a little laugh full of love, the one that only you can understand.
Then you see that he looks a bit around him. "My jacket...where is it? ”
You get up slowly and go to pick it up on the coat rack near the door. You give it to him.
"No keep it, look in the right pocket please. ”
You frown a little and search the jacket to find something, a bit confused.
You slip your hand into his pocket and a small box comes out.
"What is it..." you look at him confused
He smiles tenderly at you "It's for you, i wanted to offer it to you after rehearsals, on my way home. But…here i am in hospital... Open it !! ”
Your hands are shaking a bit, you don't know what to expect. So you open the box slowly.
When you open it you discover a beautiful bracelet, from a very well-known brand. A sigh of shock escapes from you "ohhh...oh my god heeseung, is it for me? ”
He smiles even more when he sees your reaction.
This jewelry is accompanied by a little note that you read
"Thank you for staying by my side, even when i don't take enough care of myself. i love you very much. ”
Your tears come back immediately.
"You shouldn't have to, I'm just crying again because of you—" you don't even finish your sentence that your tears come back directly. You laugh a little through your tears, filled with love.
"I just wanted to see you smile, even if i thought i would offer it to you in a better context" he says, laughing weakly.
You gently wipe your tears and hand him the bracelet.
He barely straightens up. Then, with gestures still a bit hesitant because of his weakness, heeseung gently ties the bracelet around your wrist.
When he's done, you admire the jewelry for a few moments. Then look at heeseung again.
"Promise me one thing..."
"Stop believing that you must always be strong. You can tell me when it's not okay... you can rest... you don't need to destroy yourself to make everyone happy. ”
Your words touch him more than he imagined. He remains silent and feels all the pain you have experienced. Then he nods and takes your hand.
"i promise you." He brings your hand closer to his lips and kisses your fingers, as you did earlier.
"That's all i wanted..." you told him "...that you come back to me. ”
You kiss his forehead, then his nose and finally his lips. A slow kiss, filled with love and all the pain you’ve just gone through.
"What?” You look at him a little lost. You don't know what else he could add after all this.
"Because... it’s your voice that made me want to come back. ”
You really don't know where he wants to go. "What do you mean? ”
You look at him surprised, pretending you don't understand.
"When you told me to come back... when you told me how much you love me... i heard your voice... i just couldn't open my eyes. ”
Of course, the tears come back to you again. So you kiss him again.
"So you already know everything i had in my heart." You stare at him gently as if you were analyzing him. Then after this silence.
"i love you so much too, you are my whole life." he finally tells you.
Your eyes are red, you look away a bit and laugh nervously.
"Stop making me cry." you joke before taking him back against you, without stopping kissing and hugging him.
You are finally where you have always been.
You gently close your eyes to him.
For the first time in weeks, he no longer thought about rehearsals or concerts or obligations.
He was just thinking about you.
Because after that night, he had finally understood that taking care of himself was also taking care of those who love him.
In this hospital between expectations and doubts, your patience has finally brought you back to where you have always been destined.
