One disease that would blind him and one disease that would kill him.
Daffodils. That was the flower that had taken root in his lungs. It would slowly grow and fill his lungs until he suffocated.
Felix was probably in-between stage one and two of it, he was coughing petals but sometimes he'd cough up a flower maybe two.
His sight was going. The colours were at least. He was seeing less colour almost every time he cried.
Minho, Yuqi, Soyeon, and Jisung were all monitoring his hormone levels making sure the diseases weren't speeding each other up. It led to a lot of questions from Hyunjin, but they fended them off for the time being.
"Felix, can you hand me that blue bottle over there?" Hyunjin asked.
Felix pressed his lips together and nodded. Blue was the first colour to go.
He went over to the table and grabbed what he assumed was the blue bottle. Going back, he handed it to Hyunjin.
Hyunjin looked at the bottle and tilted his head, "This is the green bottle,"
Green was the second one.
"Ah, sorry, I don't know what I was thinking... I've been so tired lately," Felix said.
Hyunjin held the bottle a little tighter when Felix went to grab it.
"Felix, this isn't the first time you've mixed the colours up. Is everything okay?"
"Yeah, of course. Like I said, I've been tired lately, the wires must be crossed,"
The older's eyes narrowed and he almost seemed focused on Felix's eyes, prompting Felix to turn away slightly.
"Your eyes, they are dull. Like they are losing colour. What is going on? That isn't lack of sleep," Hyunjin asked firmly.
Felix pursed his lips and turned away a little more.
"Felix, for real, what is happening?" Hyunjin stood up and cradled one of Felix's cheeks in his hand.
The blond shut his eyes tightly. That is when it reached Hyunjin's ears.
The little jingling sounds, when he looked at Felix- when he truly looked at Felix, he could see the different coloured sparkling tears making their way down the blond's face steadily.
He felt his heart drop to his stomach, but at the same time he could feel it in his throat.
"Who is it?" Hyunjin questioned softly.
Felix blinked a few time rapidly, "No one, it doesn't matter," he muttered, wiping his tears.
Hyunjin's hand dropped to his side.
"It doesn't matter? Felix, you are losing your sight. How long til you can't see?"
"Hyunjin, it doesn't matter really. The person I love will never love me back, so I have to just live with this and you know it is a very slim chance that I'll even go blind,"
That was a lie. Felix was being hit by the harsher outcomes of the disease. His sight was leaving bit by bit, but it seemed like before the disease took his sight completely it wanted to take all the colour in his world.
"Have you gone to Minho? I mean there has to be a surgery to get rid of it, so you can keep your sight," Hyunjin said quickly.
"Minho has come up with a few ideas, but there is no true way to make it stop without the return of feelings. There is no surgery and just like the hanahaki surgery if there was one it would cost a price I am not willing to pay," Felix told him.
Hyunjin shook his head, "Some of the greatest medical minds here and we can't manage to cure one stupid disease..."
The older sounded absolutely defeated.
Felix smiled. It was genuine one in a way, "Ah, Doctor Hwang, don't think about it too much! There is still months before I lose all colour. Even when I do I can still work to become a doctor with you,"
Hyunjin just looked at Felix. He couldn't understand how the younger was smiling. This was the Felix he wanted to remember, because he knew that as soon as the colour was drained from the younger's world he wouldn't be the same.
Nothing would be the same.
