Hyunjin walked into the empty court. It was dark, and silent. No one seemed to be there because today , no one used this court. He looked around, his hands was inside his pockets.

"Who the hell called me here??" Hyunjin said in annoyance.

"It's me"

Hyunjin turned around when a voice came from his back. Someone was walking inside the court, dribbing a basketball and slowly appears from the dark.

"Bangchan hyung?"

It turned out to be Bangchan.

"Hey, Hyunjin" he smiles.

"Hyung.. You're the one who called me here?"

Bangchan nods and dribbles the ball for the last time before he caught it.

"Hyunjin.. Let's have a bout"

Hyunjin's eyes widen in surprise "huh?? Why suddenly-"

"Come on, don't be a coward and accept my challenge, captain" Bangchan chuckles lowly.

"I'm not a coward" Hyunjin scoffs and throw his backpack somewhere else. He loosen his tie and throw it to the ground.

"So..what's the deal?"

Bangchan dribbles the ball again, then his eyes are meeting Hyunjin's.

"If you lose, you have to go back with Seungmin"

***

- Seungmin's POV-

"F*ck!"

I was standing infront of the locker when i suddenly felt suffocated. I grabbed on my neck, mouth hanging open as i can feel something starts to choking me.

I fell on my knees as I coughed hard, throwing up bunch of bloods along with the petals and few pieces of flowers. My chest felt stabbed, i can't breath. The students who get passed the area began to gather around me. My class president, who's happen to passed there quickly called the ambulance meanwhile the others are going to the teacher's office.

"Hanahaki!"

"He had the hanahaki disease!"

"It's hanahaki!"

"Hyunjin must be rejected him!"

"It might caused by hyunjin"

The rest of the students starts to talk to each other upon seeing the stained flower on the ground. My chest felt tightened and i can't stop throwing up. It hurts.. It so damn hurt!

I cried in pain, my hands which already stained by my own blood, grabbing my chest harshly.

I fell to the ground, tears were all over my face as i can't stop crying due to the pain. Why do i remember of Hyunjin at this time..

Loving you.. is killing me. Hwang Hyunjin.. I'm dying to love you.

I don't remember anything anymore , because i lose my conciousness not long after that.

Meanwhile , in the other place, Bangchan and Hyunjin were competing with each other. Running with their fastest pace and chase for the ball. The competition is only between the two, but the tension was filling the hall even more than the official competition.

"Come on hyung!! You challenged me but you're running behind!" Hyunjin laughs as he get hold of the ball, dribbles it while running towards the ring but Bangchan didn't give up just like that. He fasten his pace and harshly pushes Hyunjin aside and get the ball on his hand.

"Hyung!!" Hyunjin yells as he ran after Bangchan "FOUL PLAY!! you can't do it like that!!"

Bangchan didn't respond him because he's too focused on his ball. Both of them are exhausted to death already, and heavy pants can be heard from both guys.

"I have to win- i can't lose! It's all for Seungmin" Bangchan mumbles to himself as he dribbles the ball when his position is close to the ring already. And it makes him didn't pay attention on his surrounding included Hyunjin who was already running close to him.

When Bangchan was about to shoot the ball, Hyunjin quickly pushes him away on exactly the same way as Bangchan did before. Hyunjin take over the ball while looking at the exhausted Bangchan who just fell to the ground. Hyunjin heavily panted as he hold the ball tightly.

"Hyung, i will never..let myself defeated by you" Hyunjin says before he finally jumped towards the ring and makes a goal with his usual slam dunk.

Bangchan now left dumbfounded, hugging his own legs as he facing the ground. His sweats are dripping and he breaths harshly.

"I..lost.." he mutters in disbelievement.

Hyunjin only stares at his hyung for some time before he sits beside Bangchan, raking back his sweaty bangs while breathing heavily.

"Hyung..you know.. I won, and now i got to do what i want" Hyunjin says.

Bangchan stays silent while still facing the ground.

"And i have decided, that i will go back to minnie's side" Hyunjin continues which makes Bangchan's eyes widen. Bangchan turns his face to Hyunjin, looking at him in disbelievement.

"You know.. Me and Seungmin has been together for many years. And i don't know that it makes us bounded this much. I knew that i'm a dumbass, i never realized how i truly felt towards him. It makes me selfish , and only thinking about myself.." Hyunjin says in a sad tone.

"But hyung- when he confessed to me, my brain was confused. But then..i realized that i can't be far from him, it makes me feels empty. As if, a part of myself was missing. I got jealous , i got mad, i feel like a stupid and i can't stop thinking about him all the time.. Do you think.. this is called 'love' ? "

Bangchan blinked then he ruffles the younger guy's hair, shaking his head "you're truly an idiot, Hwang Hyunjin"

"Wae- hyung! I'm asking for real-"

"Of course it was love!! Idiot!!"

Bangchan snapped at Hyunjin.

"But hyung..you liked minnie too, didn't you?" Hyunjin asked.

Bangchan sighed deeply, he slowly nods as he faces the ceiling, smile was on his face.

"I do.. I liked him so much that i want to protect him so badly.."

Then Bangchan turns his face to Hyunjin.

"But because i love him, i want him to be happy with you.. Hyunjin. The only person he loved..is you"

Hyunjin looked at Bangchan in amaze "but hyung.. If you love him, don't you want to make him yours?"

Bangchan only smiles then he circles his arm around the younger's shoulders.

"Let me tell you something, Hyunjin. When we loved someone, it doesn't mean that he can be ours. But it's about how you can let him go to be happy with the one he loved. Just seeing him happy, is more than enough for me.."

"I don't know hyung can be poetic too.." Hyunjin chuckles.

"Yahh- it's not that! I'm telling you a lesson so that you can learn more about love life!" Bangchan grins , he then pulls himself up and offer his hand to Hyunjin.

"Don't you want to meet him now, Hyunjin? I'm sure you got a lot to tell him"

Hyunjin smiles widely as he receives Bangchan's hand and gets up. He nodded and waving at Bangchan before he grabbed his bag and runs out.

Bangchan who left alone, can only smile and shakes his head. He feels satisfied, although it means that his chance to love Seungmin has dropped into zero. But it's okay.. For him, Seungmin's happiness was the most important thing.

Bangchan then went out of the court, about to walk home when he saw Hyunjin was on his knees, dumbfounded. Infront of him, standing the class president who was seemed just talked to him.

Bangchan then goes to him, asking what happened and the class president tell him what has happened. His answer makes Bangchan's eyes widen in shock.

"Kim Seungmin has been taken to the hospital and the teacher who companied him there said that he's now in critical condition"
