"Hongjoong, Can I ask you some more questions?" Seonghwa silently asked Hongjoong. They were both currently sitting on Hongjoong's bed. They have been silent for some time, just enjoying the silence without feeling uncomfortable when Seonghwa decided to go for his questions. "Of course! Go ahead. I'll answer anything." Hongjoong said looking at him.

Seeing Hongjoong's usual warm smiling face, he just decided to start speaking. "Okay so my first question is......how do you know...uh...to ride a...b-bike?" Seonghwa asked quite nervous seeing how Hongjoong would react to his question. He saw Hongjoong break out into a laugh.

"That! Well, it's quite a story. Would you mind to listen?" Hongjoong offered not knowing if Seonghwa was interested to know the reason behind him knowing how to ride a bike. "O-okay, go ahead." Seonghwa replied back looking at Hongjoong's cute face.

"Okay, so.....when I was back at my Grandma's place I never actually had any friends until I met one guy. His name was Jungkook. He was a nice guy, and while everybody bullied me and didn't want to be around me, he wanted to become friends with me. I was shocked but still happy and we became friends. So....he liked riding bikes and we would go to have rides together until he offered to teach me." Hongjoong said smiling a little at the memory though it held many more things then just his smile with it.

"Oh, okay. So...that friend of yours, I mean Jungkook taught you to ride a bike. But what about now? Do you guys still stay in contact seeing you came here?" Seonghwa asked curious about the guy, Jungkook who was Hongjoong's friend. Seonghwa saw Hongjoong's expression change for a millisecond before Hongjoong laughed again and then spoke.

"We lost touch because of a mistake I did." Hongjoong said while looking up into nothing. Seonghwa could easily find the sadness in Hongjoong's voice but he was still surprised about the fact that Hongjoong was still smiling while his eyes had the sadness as well. "What do you mean by that?" Seonghwa asked, not quite understanding what Hongjoong meant.

Hongjoong chuckled a bit and then looked back at him. "Jungkook actually didn't know about my past. But one day someone told him." Hongjoong said and then took a deep breath closing his eyes for a bit. "So......he left you? Just like that?" Seonghwa asked quite shocked from this along with a bit angry for some reason.

Shocked, for he thought Jungkook was a good guy but then he just left him after someone told him about Hongjoong's past. Another reason was that Hongjoong believes that it was his mistake that he didn't tell him about his past. Hongjoong was just too good to have experienced all this. Now, Seonghwa found himself so horrible.

Why? Cause up till now Seonghwa ran away from people thinking they would just leave him at the end while Hongjoong was someone whom though people left or never wanted to be there for, still tried his best to become friends with everybody. Hongjoong still never gave up. And he? He never tried in the first place to even think of giving up.

He wants to do something to make Hongjoong feel better but how? He was the stupid one to ask in the first place. "Hongjoong, I am really sorry for asking you this question. It just brought back the memories and now you feel bad because of me." Seonghwa said while looking at Hongjoong apologetically. Hongjoong felt really sad though he still knew he was trying his best not to show.

"Seonghwa, you didn't do anything. Also, it is still a part of me. I don't want to keep things hidden anymore from anyone. Especially not then, when you guys still accepted me for what I am." Hongjoong said immediately seeing he made Seonghwa feel bad. It was as if both of them felt they did something wrong and made the other feet bad but didn't know the other felt the same for them.

Both of them wanted the other to be happy while they didn't knew the other wished the same for them. "But Hongjoong I am really sorry." Seonghwa said again. "Shhhh! I told you! You didn't do anything!" Hongjoong said to Seonghwa while motioning his finger for him to stop.

He actually was about to place his finger on Seonghwa's lips again but then he remembered at the right time and stopped himself. Suddenly, Hongjoong's phone started ringing. Looking around for his phone Hongjoong found it on his desk.

Seonghwa saw Hongjoong get up from the bed and go towards his desk. Picking up his phone, Hongjoong saw the caller ID. It was Mingi. Seeing there wasn't actually a need to go outside since it was just Mingi, Hongjoong picked up the call.

He was immediately greeted by a loud voice that surely was Mingi. "Hey! Hongjoong where are you?! I miss you!!!" He heard Mingi shout and whine from the other side. It was so loud that he had to pull his ear away from the phone immediately.

Seonghwa saw Hongjoong's face change to a pained one while he pulled the phone away from his ear. The sound was really loud that he heard it as well. The sound was of probably Mingi since he has heard him before. His voice is heavy, low and hard but has a slight huskiness to it as well.

"Oh! Hey, Mingi sorry, I couldn't come for the class. I wasn't feeling well. But don't worry I'll come tomorrow." Hongjoong replied to the other side. "Okay~ But I miss you-" Mingi whined from the other but before he could say anything else, Hongjoong heard someone else's voice. It was Jongho.

"Hey! Hongjoong! It's alright and please don't take Mingi seriously, okay? I'll have a talk with him afterwards. Goodbye Hongjoong! Take care!" And then the phone hung up even before Hongjoong could say anything. Looking at the screen a little amused Hongjoong sighed. He wishes Yunho is alright.

Seonghwa on the other hand looked at Hongjoong's face. Hongjoong looked cute all the time. It was as if he just wanted to look at his face all the time and even if he did look at it the whole time he wouldn't get tired of it. Hongjoong's face alone brought some sort of warmth in his heart, then people can imagine what would Hongjoong's words would do to Seonghwa. Hongjoong came back towards Seonghwa but found that Seonghwa was just staring at him with no response.

"S-Seonghwa? SEONGHWA!" Hongjoong shouted and shook Seonghwa by the shoulder. Feeling and hearing someone call him Seonghwa came back to his thoughts. "H-Huh? What were you saying?" Seonghwa looked at him and asked. He just fell back in the well of his thoughts like the last time and Hongjoong again pulled him out of the well. He was thankful or else Hongjoong would have found him weird.

He'll try his best to stay normal from now on. "I was thinking that you should rest for sometime now. Your fever is much better now and I think if you rest it'll be fully okay. Don't you think that Seonghwa?" Hongjoong said to Seonghwa.

He thinks that Seonghwa should have some more rest cause that way his fever will get better. "B-But it's alright Hongjoong! I should probably just go to home instead. I have already bothered you alot." Seonghwa replied back and then tried getting up from the bed but Hongjoong caught his wrist. "Seonghwa you never bothered me nor you ever will. Also, I can't let you go until I am fully sure you're alright to go."

Seonghwa heard Hongjoong say to him while he looked down at their hands. Hongjoong was holding the same wrist he put the bracelet on. One thing was sure, Hongjoong's hands felt so soft and warm every time he felt them in his own. They were really tiny compared to his own hands. But, then they weren't actually a surprise seeing was Hongjoong himself was tiny.

He kept looking at their hands. Then, he looked at Hongjoong's face. It showed......worry? Hongjoong was worried about Seonghwa and didn't want him to leave yet. Seonghwa's fever last night was so much horrifying. He still remembers how Seonghwa kept shivering with his face all pale. His lips were much different last night, they were almost blue from cold compared to his red lips now.

Hongjoong can't dream of Seonghwa returning to that state, at least not until he is around him. He won't let it happen. "Please, Seonghwa! At least for.....me?" Hongjoong said quietly in a small pleading tone while looking up at Seonghwa.

Seeing Hongjoong almost plead to him with his face all worried made Seonghwa feel bad. He never wants to see Hongjoong like that, and to be exact because of him. He just wants to see Hongjoong all happy like he sees him always. He doesn't want Hongjoong to be sad or cry like he saw him that day in front of his parents. Unconsciously Seonghwa found himself speaking, almost in a small whisper.

"O-Okay, just.....for you."

*************************
Hey Everybody!! So the next chapter is up! But I have something important to share as well with you guys so read carefully!!

So as some of you would have seen my last post that said my mid-terms would be starting from 14 and so unfortunately my updates would be become a little slower. I tried my best to have at least six pre-written chapters so that my updates don't become slower and go on with the three day gap.

But unfortunately I wasn't in much of a good state to write and was busy studying as well and so I have only one pre-written chapters while the other one is in progress still.

And so I am rescheduling my updates from a three day gap to a six day gap until my mid-terms finish and I don't have at least three pre-written chapters. But don't worry since my mid-terms are to finish on 25th.

And so, I'll my best to write a little everyday before sleeping until then and after that I'll get back to writing properly.

I am really sorry for the inconvenience and I really hate myself for this but I can't do anything at least not until 25th.

I hope you like this chapter and vote and comment as well. It would make me happy!

Till then have a good time and stay save, happy and healthy!!!!

LUV YOU GUYS ALOT!!!❤️❤️
