What should he do now?! He can't let him get a fever! That's when Hongjoong got in the bed along with Seonghwa. He read somewhere that body heat can help in such cases and he'll just try that if he doesn't have any choice right now.

Reality

Hongjoong hissed when he felt something hot on his hand. Retreating his hand away from the hot object, Hongjoong held his hand blowing abit at his now red hand. He didn't even notice when he got so immersed in the thoughts of last night that he touched the pan instead of the spoon.

It hurt a little but he didn't care much, it's nothing big. He went back to cooking, it was a little difficult but he managed. After he finished cooking he set everything on a tray and then started to go upstairs. It was difficult to hold the tray with his burnt hand but the one in his room was more important now.

Hongjoong reached the room and then opened the door carefully by his foot. He entered and saw Seonghwa sleeping peacefully on the bed and so he set the tray on the side. Then he went to the balcony and stood there looking around and trying to get some fresh air.

Then he went back in, seeing that Seonghwa didn't look anywhere near the word 'awake' he decided to go get a shower first. He got some new clothes and went in the bathroom. Feeling the hot water make contact with his body, Hongjoong closed his eyes slowly and enjoyed the feeling.

He stayed that way, enjoying the feeling for around ten minutes, after turning off the shower and drying himself. He got dressed and then stepped outside with a towel in his hand, drying his hair.

As he stepped he heard some noises. He turned his head towards the noises and saw Seonghwa stirring in his sleep, he smiled a little and immediately went to help him.

Seonghwa opened his eyes only to find Hongjoong in his vision, he kept looking at him. He was smiling a little while he tried to help him up to sit, he had wet hair which indicated he probably came out of the shower. He saw Hongjoong place a glass of water at his lips.

He though quite amused from the sudden action, took the glass in his hands and drank a little water, after which he thanked him in a small voice seeing he just woke up properly. His headache was alright now, Seonghwa was still not over the fact that he had a nice sleep after a long time.

Yes, it was the first time Seonghwa slept without the nightmare. Seonghwa didn't get the horrible nightmare, though the last words after he jumped in the river were the words he always heard in his nightmare, he just didn't get it. He was brought out of his thoughts when he heard Hongjoong speak.

"Good morning! How does your headache feel now?" He saw Hongjoong speak with a small smiling but worried face. "Ah-ah T-Thanks Ho-Hongjoong but-t-" As Seonghwa tried to speak he felt a finger at his lips. His eyes opened a bit more at the sudden action Hongjoong did.

"Don't say Thanks! And it's alright don't speak, your voice doesn't feel you should speak until we have some breakfast." Hongjoong shushed him and then brought a tray full of breakfast in front of him.

Though Hongjoong asked Seonghwa if he felt alright, as soon as he heard his small voice speaking while cracking, he decided that the talking can wait until they get some breakfast cause that way they would have much more energy to do or speak anything. He didn't know what got into him though, that he just placed his finger on his lips.

He shook the thought off though his finger still felt the feeling of Seonghwa's soft plump lips on it. He then placed a tray of breakfast in front of Seonghwa. But seeing that Seonghwa was hesitant he just took a bite and extended his arm towards him.

Looking up at Hongjoong, Seonghwa saw a look that probably told that he'll be....angry? if he doesn't eat. So he just looked for a second more before he opened his mouth slowly and took the bite. They didn't speak while eating the whole time but it was a comfortable silence. But, to say Seonghwa felt a bit weird eating from Hongjoong's hand could be considered as a true opinion.

After they finished, Hongjoong placed the tray away and then helped Seonghwa drink some water. Then, Hongjoong waited for a bit and finally decided that he should speak.

"Seonghwa, listen you don't need to speak if you don't want to right now but please listen me out cause I know you would be having alot of questions in your mind. I too have them but mine can wait until I know you are okay." Hongjoong spoke hoping Seonghwa wouldn't be uncomfortable or hesitant about anything after this. "Ah, O-okay." Hongjoong heard Seonghwa say. After he heard him say that, he took a deep breath in and started.

"Seonghwa, last night I saw you fall in the river and after that I just saved you. I know I shouldn't have done everything without your permission after that, but I didn't have any choice. Also, please don't get the wrong idea from it, I just did what came to my mind at the moment cause I care for you and if you would have caught a cold or something worse would have happened then I probably wouldn't have been able to forgive myself, so I just tried my best, okay?"

"Y-You saved me?" Seonghwa asked quite confused about why Hongjoong saved him cause he doesn't deserve it. He deserves to die but..... Hongjoong just saved him?

"Yeah, I did but I want to apologize for everything that happened after that. I am really sorry for everything. I know you probably don't know anything and so I'll tell you and you can decide if you accept my apology or not." Hongjoong kept speaking while Seonghwa couldn't do anything but be confused and just listen

"I didn't know how to get you home so I used your bike to get you here and you were so cold and shivering that I needed to change your clothes to some warm ones as fast as I can so.....I CHANGED YOUR CLOTHES BUT I HAD MY EYES COVERED BY A MASK! ALSO, YOU WERE STILL SHIVERING SO TO KEEP YOU WARM I SLEPT WITH YOU-" Hongjoong spoke so fast he doubted Seonghwa would have heard clearly. Seonghwa was so shocked at what Hongjoong said. He did what?

Some of Seonghwa's questions could have been said as answered after this only if Seonghwa wasn't shocked enough to end up getting more questions from the answers.

His first question now being - Does Hongjoong know how to ride a bike? The second being - Why did he bring him here? The third being - Why did he change his.....uh...clothes? Fourth being - Why does Hongjoong care if he got a cold? Fifth being - Why did Hongjoong risk his health in the first place for him? Sixth-ughh....there are too many questions still.

"I am sorry for everything!" Hongjoong said looking down. He didn't know but every question he had in mind though bothered him, felt useless and so he threw them to be asked later. "No Hongjoong it's alright! I-I actually want to thank you! And apologize as well." Seonghwa spoke to him not expecting the last part to come out of his mouth but now that it came, he actually wants to apologize.

"W-What? Why? What do you mean apologize Seonghwa??" Hongjoong looked up immediately hearing Seonghwa's words. He didn't expect Seonghwa to reply like that to him, it's not like Seonghwa did anything to apologize, at least he doesn't remember anything like that."Hongjoong, like you said to me before I would say the same to you. Listen carefully."

Now that Seonghwa has said that, he'll do it clearly cause he feels that Hongjoong deserves to know what he did as well. Especially then when he apologized for things he did to save him while he just did something he probably shouldn't have.

"Okay, Hongjoong I am sorry for everything since the start. I shouldn't have done this cause I know you'll be hurt after knowing this." He said while looking down. Hongjoong just looked confused as to what Seonghwa means by all this but as Seonghwa said he listened carefully.

"Hongjoong, I don't know but I couldn't stop myself from listening to you everyday at the graveyard where you talk to your parents. I have been listening to everything you said to your parents up till now while hiding behind a tree. I don't know but I just felt like listening to you cause you just make me feel you are different from others but similar to me. I don't know fully about your story yesterday but I did hear it. I am sorry." Seonghwa just said everything quietly looking down not wanting Hongjoong to see his face.

Hongjoong sat in shock. He couldn't believe Seonghwa knows everything about him. Okay, not in a proper way but he still knows alot. And?! Oh my god! That means Seonghwa must have heard him on the first day as well! Hongjoong doesn't care about Seonghwa hearing about his past cause, seeing that Seonghwa still came to help him shows he probably doesn't have much of a problem with it. And if he has he'll ask about it.

But, Hongjoong was worried about Seonghwa, that he would have heard him talk about him as well. He doesn't remember properly but what if he said something wrong about Seonghwa to his parents? He needs to say sorry for that as well. "S-Seonghwa don't apologize! You weren't wrong in any way! Plus, you told me instead of keeping, shows you aren't wrong. But I am sorry if I would have said anything wrong about you to my parents." He said pouting a bit with eyebrows frowed together.

"N-No! Hongjoong you didn't say anything wrong about me. But you're really not mad seeing I practically evaesdropped on you?" He asked immediately not believing Hongjoong's words. Hongjoong was truly someone. How could he be so nice and sweet even to someone like him?

"No Seonghwa I am not mad at all. I am actually happy you told me yourself, maybe if I would have known by some other means then I would have been mad but that isn't the case so I am not. You are nice and good Seonghwa, so you told me,I am happy from you instead of mad." Hongjoong said smiling to Seonghwa.

"T-Thanks alot." Seonghwa stuttered almost on the verge of tears now. He couldn't believe in his life it was the first time he felt good. Good that there is someone who doesn't see him the way he was seen once. He couldn't stop himself and he just straight hugged Hongjoong, tightly.
