'When Kyungsoo is seriously hurt...'

On the day I was seriously hurt and couldn't go out and fly freely. I never thought that there would be anyone who could be together like him...

A small boy with brown hair and large eyes sat leaning on a pillow in a narrow room of a place called a hospital. His once smooth face was dotted with bruises. The most noticeable mark was probably the dark mark on the left corner of his mouth. The small arm was covered with a thick, clean white cast.

The little man looked down and tried to move his arms back and forth. But you have to make a face. because it hurts Therefore, you must stop exerting yourself only. Before feeling extremely frustrated that he couldn't move his own organs as he wanted. Kyungsoo had no idea how long he would have to endure this situation.

Big eyes turned to look outside the window. You can see the tops of green trees and the tops of many buildings scattered around because they are on high floors. I sighed softly at my current condition, which was no different from a bird with a broken wing. and not ready to fly freely outside like usual Another hose of what Dr. Kim calls a saline hose.

Which made Kyungsoo even more annoyed. Because from the looks of it, it's like a chain that makes it impossible to move your body anywhere in the slightest.

The sound of the door sliding open draws Kyungsoo's eyes from the window to another direction. Before my heart twitched a little. and made his eyes wide with shock Because I saw someone walking into the room with a calm expression. But what shocked Kyungsoo wasn't because of that person's silent expression or sudden appearance.

Instead, there were bruises and blood stains on his face, no different from his from several hours ago...

"B...Baekhyunna..."

The owner of the name slowly closed the door. Before stepping closer His hand reached out and dragged one of the chairs in the room to the side of the bed. Then he lowered himself into a seat without hesitation.

"What have you done..."

Kyungsoo stares at the other's face without batting an eye. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed together. But you don't have to say what it means. Baekhyun knew well what Kyungsoo wanted to convey.

“Do Kyungsoo, you should know what I did…”

As soon as I heard the answer Which is not quite the real answer. The listener closed his eyes and relaxed his breath, feeling... fed up? before staring back at the other person with a look of dissatisfaction.

Kyungsoo knew what Baekhyun's answer really was.

“Why do you have to interfere? I can take care of my own business.”

That sweet voice was low, expressing complete seriousness. How many times have I told him that he can take care of himself? They are not children who have to wait for someone to help them and take care of them.

...but useless The other person didn't feel afraid in the slightest.

“How can someone this small handle such a thing? How lucky are they that they didn't sting you to death first?”

The listener turned his eyes and looked towards the end of the bed instead.

"Speaking to yourself so big like that..."

“But I'm stronger than you. You see, I've smoothed it out. There's nothing left. I guarantee they won't dare come and tease me again for a long time. Rest assured, right now I still have plenty of strength. I want you to kick someone else. Tell Byun Baekhyun."

Baekhyun moved to sit up straight and stretched out his chest as if to show off his full strength. The other person could only look at the squinting man and laugh inwardly...Baekhyun was always like this.

"Look at you, your mouth is all open and blotchy."

Baekhyun's slender fingers reached out and touched the corner of Kyungsoo's dark lips. But he turned his head away when touched. before turning to argue in a deep voice

"Still in better shape than you are now."

Baekhyun just laughed.

"But I don't have a broken arm like you."

The person who spoke nodded towards the other person's small arm. Wang reminded the owner of that arm to be aware of his condition once again. Kyungsoo looked down and realized that his current condition was actually much more serious than Baekhyun's.

"Don't worry. You can take the cast off now."

The speaker spoke confidently. But actually, he didn't know when the heavy material covering his arm would be able to be removed. Part of me was secretly afraid that it would take a long time.

"And how do you know what happened?"

Kyungsoo deliberately switches to another topic.

“Just Dr. Kim called to say you were in the hospital. Is it that I don't know what happened to you and to them?"

The audience heard this and immediately blamed themselves. I forgot to remind Dr. Kim to keep this matter a secret from everyone first. Especially Byun Baekhyun Kyungsoo still doesn't want Baekhyun to know. Because when you know Baekhyun will be as seen here... But never mind, sooner or later the other party would know what had happened to him.

"Go home."

Kyungsoo suddenly spoke up and said, It's not that they hate or don't want to see each other. It's just that he doesn't want Baekhyun to see himself in this state for how long. I don't know how worried the other person will be. Even if the concern is buried deep beneath another person's strength, it is almost invisible. But something tells Kyungsoo that Baekhyun always cares for him when he gets into fights with other people.

"I don't want to go back."

"Why"

"Go back and see your mother complaining, you know."

Kyungsoo smiled slightly. I laugh when I think of Byun Baekhyun who goes around kicking and punching people all over the place. But it turned into a tiny puppy in front of its own mother.

“Go to the game center. The Chanyeols will probably be there as usual.”

Game Center is like Baekhyun's other home. When the person is bored, in a bad mood, has nothing to do or has nowhere to go. He always kept himself there to play games. Many times, Kyungsoo was dragged away just because Baekhyun wanted to keep him company. Even if Kyungsoo complains or claims he's lazy, he doesn't want to go.

But in the end, Baekhyun always wins. And it was there that Kyungsoo got to know Baekhyun's other friends who also enjoyed spending time there. Maybe Kyungsoo wondered why Baekhyun would have to take him with him. Since there were already other friends of my own there...

"I'm not going."

Kyungsoo raised his eyebrows. He was surprised by the answer he heard...

"Why"

Because Baekhyun never refuses. If it's about game center...

Another person pretends to think. It's like he's looking for an answer for Kyungsoo.

"No mood"

The answer sounded blunt. But the listeners felt familiar with Baekhyun in this way. So I didn't say anything.

“Mr. Broken Wing is like this. Even if you go play, it probably won't be fun."

The sound came out soft at the end. But Kyungsoo still heard him, and he raised his eyebrows, not expecting that kind of answer.

"...Byun Baekhyun I'm not going to die."

Big eyes stared at the other person with a confused expression.

He was not seriously injured. The other party should stop worrying. Then you can go out and live your normal life comfortably. But for Baekhyun to say something like this...

People who listen are discouraged. I don't know what to say next. It's true that Kyungsoo isn't in much trouble. Soon, his arm will probably be back in ready-to-use condition as before, just...

"Come on, go wash your face first. I'll be back."

After saying that he stood up. The slender fingers gently touched the blood stain at the corner of his own mouth before raising it to look and turning his face. He walked slowly towards the bathroom. But not before Baekhyun walked away and disappeared out of sight. There was a loud murmur that Kyungsoo could hear.

“Huh, Do Kyungsoo, because of you, I definitely won't be able to play games for many more days.”

The person who spoke said he expected a light punishment. If it were someone else You might understand that Baekhyun is seriously upset with Kyungsoo. It was just that the person being blamed felt that there was something deeply hidden beneath Baekhyun's actions.

Baekhyun hasn't been to a game center since that day. Chanyeol calls me from time to time. Asked where he was and what he was doing, he was surprised that he didn't get to see his friends face to face like usual. Kyungsoo silently watches Baekhyun talking on the phone. The other person never once said that he was at the hospital with him. The only answer Chanyeol could give was...

"I have important business to attend to."

Kyungsoo's heart beat a little faster than usual when he heard that answer because of the 'important business' that Baekhyun said. That is, staying with him in this small, boring room at the hospital every day. Until the day he was released from the hospital arrived...

If Kyungsoo was a bird with broken wings I will stay by your side until he can fly again.

End.
