The hospital room was empty and quiet. Hoseok sat up against his pillows, fiddling around with the little remote that adjusted the recline of his bed as he sighed in boredom and self-pity. He really did hate hospitals. He just didn't think about it often, because he was hardly ever in them. But when he was, all he could think about was how badly he wanted to leave.

And it was worse now. Because he wished he could have called or texted Yugyeom, but he knew it would be hopeless and that there was no point in even trying. On the first day Yugyeom had left, Hoseok had sent a message but that message was never delivered.

He was lonely. And he really, really missed Yugyeom.

At least, he thought hopefully, Yugyeom would be back in two days. Only two days. They would be long days, without a doubt, but they would pass eventually. And Hoseok already couldn't wait to see the smile on his boyfriend's face, and he couldn't wait to hug him again, and kiss him after having been deprived of him for two and a half weeks. He would have never guessed being away from Yugyeom would make him realize how much he'd come to love him, but that's exactly what happened.

Hoseok held the down arrow on the remote and allowed the bed to become completely horizontal. He sighed again and stared at the ceiling.

"Excuse me, Mr. Jung Hoseok? You have a visitor."

Already fully expecting it to be Seokjin back for that second visit he'd promised, Hoseok slowly sat up and turned his head in the direction of the door, only to find standing behind the nurse another boy, someone taller, younger, and who made Hoseok wonder if his vision had been somehow affected from the fall, too.

No, he wasn't imagining it. The tear-stained eyes of Yugyeom drew him in to acceptance. He was here.

"Yugyeom, what are you-"

The boy sat himself down on Hoseok's bed, clearly trying his hardest to stop crying, but the tears were already there, and Hoseok had seen them. So it wasn't like he could hide it from him at this point.

Hoseok honestly didn't know what to say. He was speechless. Confused. But also very, very happy. Because Yugyeom was here. He was actually here.

He dropped the remote beside him on the bed and wrapped his one, uninjured arm around Yugyeom, pulling him in close for a hug--well, as close as he could without putting pressure on his sprain. It had caught Yugyeom off guard, but soon he wrapped his own arms around Hoseok's neck and hugged him back, carefully, and Hoseok could hear the boy's sniffles right next to his ear.

"How are you here, Yugyeom?"

"Jin told me."

"Jin did?" He raised an eyebrow in question, despite knowing Yugyeom couldn't see his face right now. "But I thought...I mean-"

"A couple of his messages got through to me. They were out of order, but he was straightforward enough in the texts anyway so it didn't matter."

"...you...had two days left-"

"I told my family that you broke your arm and I wanted to go see you," Yugyeom said, raising his hand to hold against the back of Hoseok's head. "They understood."

"...Yugyeom, I didn't break my arm. It's just a sprain. Did Jin tell you I broke it?"

"Yeah..."

Scarcely withholding a groan, Hoseok pursed his lips and rubbed his hand against Yugyeom's back comfortingly. "I didn't break it," he sighed. "Jin lied to you."

"But you still hurt yourself. And you're in the hospital."

"Right. And you came here despite being two hours away and with your family on a trip."

"Oh, I've spent the past fifteen days with them. It's fine."

Hoseok found it in himself to laugh. He finally pulled away from the hug, already with the idea in mind that he wanted to kiss Yugyeom right now. So he did. Placing one hand on the boy's cheek, Hoseok leaned in and put his lips on Yugyeom's, holding them there gently.

"Hoseo-...oh, sorry, I'm interrupting something."

Another visitor. But this one didn't come with a warning, so Hoseok became startled at the sound of the voice, and even more surprised when he registered who it was.

"Yoongi??"

The boy in question entered the room and Hoseok could see now that he was holding a single rose in his hand--the stem of which was wrapped in plastic to prevent cuts. "This isn't a romantic gesture," Yoongi clarified, "don't misunderstand, but Seokjin said you'd appreciate it."

Hoseok blinked. "Yoongi, what did Jin tell you?"

"That you broke your arm after getting pushed down an entire flight of stairs."
