Hongjoong slightly moved his body turning to the open side of the couch. He opened his eyes slowly, rubbing them with his tiny fists. As the male took his time to sit up, he didn't notice another body next to his legs side but on the floor, resting it's back against the couch.

A loud gasp left his mouth as he finally released, slapping his hand on his mouth Hongjoong tried to stop the sound but unfortunately it was too late as the body started moving and a groan was heard.

"S-seonghwa?" he whispered.

"hmm.."

Hongjoong honestly couldn't remember much from earlier except him throwing up and the older helping him. The older slowly turned around, his eyes feeling heavy from not being able to proper sleep. Seonghwa slowly stretched his arms up in the air and then brought them near to the other. He then placed his hands on the other's forehead makinghim flinch a little.

"W-what are y-you d-doi-"

"You still have a fever." the male cut him off.

Hongjoong's brain felt really fuzzy. How is Seonghwa suddenly being nice to him? Did something happen? He felt pain again in his forehead, too much to bear.

1: He can't remember a single thing and when he's tryjng to it's just hurting his head even more.

2: Seonghw's helping him out of nowhere. It's making him more angry and upset rather thankful.

"S-stop!"

He could feel his vision getting blurry as they got glossy from all his anger, sadness and thinking. Seonghwa however continued trying to open the cap of the water bottle he had grabbed from beside him when Hongjoong was busy zoning out.

"I said stop!" and there he had made other flinch and freeez at his spot.

"W-why are you doing this? I- I can't remember a single part of you from earlier. When d-did you even g-get in? And doing this- t-this now!? Why?"

The older's eyes widened at his member's sudden outburst. How come Hongjoong not remember anything? It's definetely his fever.His breathing suddenly got faster as he trembled trying to let out his words.

"Shh shh calm down first, I'll explain. Come here, don't cry hongjoong."

"I- hate you! How c-can y-you come back h-here after s-saying a-all that!?"

"I'm sorry, I know just don't talk for now. You need to calm down first. You're losing your breath."

Hongjoong's head was now at the crook of the older's neck. Seonghwa gently massaging the other's back with hands trying his best to ease the younger. After a few minutes his sobs had slowly quiet down and the breathing rate was back to normal.

Silence carried the room until Hongjoong decided it's time to pull away from the hug. His eyes dilated as he properly looked at Seonghwa's face.

He had teary eyes and seemed quite tense along with his shaky hands. The male brought up his trembling hands to his eyes, pressing them to his eyes as he turns away for the other.

" A-are you okay h-hyung?"

"I- I'm so, so sorry! I have been nothing but a total asshole to you all these years heck I need a word worse than that to describe myself! All t-this time I- I just t-took my anger on y-you just becausr I'm a pathetic s-shit who w-wasn't getting over a break up.I fucking lost two of m-my bestfriends because of my fucking behavior."

It was now Seonghwa's turn to cry. It was his turn to finally let go of all his emotions infront of a male he has despised for the last few years. Hongjoong's face turned pale as he watched the other sob. He couldn't move an inch of his body to hug the other and relax him.

"And I e-even added your parents into this shit. I know you've been y-your best for us. I'm s-sorry m-making it so difficult for y-you. Even w-with that kind of injury. Y-you know w-what? I'm just a sore loser w-who lost his parents in a car crash and now l-live withs his strict grandmother who expects him to b-be perfect. I- I know this i-is no excuse as the other's also felt it b-but I was r- really worried for the debut. She might m-make me leave and take o-over the business if i-it takes too long."

Seonghwa couldn't let another word out of his mouth now. The lump in his throat was paining him and his chest felt tense. The room felt too hot all of a sudden.

"hwa" Hongjoong forced himself to move closer. As he did, he held the other's hands in his own. Lips purses as he felt nervous.

"I- I forgive you." there. He had done it.

He had a thousand thoughts running through his mind at the moment. What will happen next? Will Seongwha change his behavior? Will we be bestfriends again!? How did I forget about his grandmother!? Hongjoong how come yo-

The thoughs were then interuppted with him almost falling to the ground but thankfully he was pulled into a tighter grip by Seonghwa who was hugging him. After a about a minute the two pulled away.

Honhjoong's face looked flushed while Seonghwa felt a rush of embarrassment.

"Uhm... Let's just forget-" "Hey! I'll take back my forgiveness if you complete that sentence, I dare you."

Hongjoong huffed, crossing his arms against his chest showing how he was upset. Seonghwa chuckled lightly in confusion.

"Why?" he asked in a low voice.

"You finally gave me a hug after all this time and say that then?"

Seonghwa made a face out of amusment as he watched the other speak with a pout.

"I gave you two earlier though?"

"Those were out of sympathy!"

The older laughed out loud this time and felt the male slightly punch his shoulder, ears red and face flushed.

"Okay then, first official real hug and not sympathy hug alright?"

"Come Hongjoong, let's try again." Seonghwa slowly grabbed the other's body pulling him closer to his own to which the other let out a little yelp. Seonghwa's mind still didn't stop thinking about everything though.

Are things fixed?
