-
“You can't put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get.”
The doors of the emergency room cracked open; the sound of screams, yells, groans and pain was the only thing that could be heard while the door revealed a bleeding Hyukjae in the hospital bed; with nurses and doctors all over him; one of the paramedics still trying to bring him back to life doing cardio pulmonary resuscitation; a nurse trying his best to maintain Hyukjae’s breathing alive.
Doctors by his sides were screaming and yelling orders so the patient would survive; nurses running to get medicine and instruments; people getting out of their way so the mass could pass by them.
The door also revealed a frustrated Kyuhyun, with swollen eyes and almost no energy left. His shirt was all tainted with Hyukjae’s blood. And the only thing he could do was to watch the horrible scene in front of him; it was as if the world stopped; Kyuhyun couldn’t see the doctors and nurses; the only thing he could see was Hyukjae lying in the hospital bed. Every centimeter that Hyukjae went away from him was Kyuhyun’s life going with him.
His heart flinched when he could feel how Hyukjae’s cold hand was getting away from his; he swore that was the worst feeling ever in his entire life.
What if he doesn’t come back? Kyuhyun hit the hospital wall hardly; trying to make himself hurt before thinking like that again.
He will. He tried to assure to himself while his tears drained his shirt and his knees couldn’t hold him any longer.
He fell down his knees slowly, holding himself with his arms in the floor; feeling the guilt and sadness hit him every time he breathed. It was painful and Kyuhyun couldn’t stand it anymore.
“Kyuhyun hyung?” He heard a voice and he turned around quickly; just to see a confused and concerned Henry standing next to him.
“Oh Henry…” He cleared his throat, fixing himself so he was at least sitting down in the floor; with his back resting on the white wall.
“Are you okay Hyung?” Henry asked titling his head and looking at Kyuhyun concerned.
Kyuhyun smiled weakly; he didn’t want Henry to be worried; the kid just had too much; maybe as much as he did. “I’m fine Henry.” He answered weakly as he felt his body fall into pieces.
“Don’t worry.” Henry said as he sat down besides Kyuhyun, taking care his hospitals clothes didn’t get ruined. “Hyukkie hyung will be alright.” He said smiling brightly.
Kyuhyun opened his eyes widely and turned to look at Henry. “H-How… How do you know?” He asked surprised at the younger’s braveness.
Henry smiled softly. “I saw him being carried in the hospital room.” He said now distracting himself by looking at his feet.
Kyuhyun felt a sting in his stomach as Henry spoke; he felt weak even by Henry’s side. “Aren’t you afraid?” He finally asked to the little boy.
Henry smiled and shook his head lightly. “I once saw him like that.” He said and Kyuhyun opened his eyes even wider.
“When?” He asked and Henry looked around; as if trying to remember. “That time we took radio therapy together!” He exclaimed clapping his hands. “Hyung was with me the whole time!”
“R-Radio therapy?” Kyuhyun asked not wanting to believe.
“Hmm.” Henry nodded. “We took it together though his dose was stronger.” He said trailing off; totally missing Kyuhyun’s painful and confused expression.
“Do you know what is it Hyukkie has?” Kyuhyun asked; he felt ignorant; he wanted to hit himself because he couldn’t conceive he didn’t know anything about the one he loved.
Henry looked at Kyuhyun and shook his head lightly. “I don’t.” He said weakly. “But I know Hyukkie hyung needs a bone marrow!” He exclaimed. “Just like me!”
Kyuhyun gasped. “You know so much…” He whispered; making it more painful for him to deal with it. “I just want to look at his pure eyes once again…” He murmured as his tears went down once again.
Henry panicked; he didn’t want to see Kyuhyun like that; he didn’t like it. Kyuhyun was like dead, literally on the floor while the only thing that could be heard was sobbings and yells from the people in the hospital.
Henry bit his lower lip and scratched his bald head. He didn’t think anymore before hugging Kyuhyun as tightly as a kid could. “He will be fine Hyung.” He promised not letting Kyuhyun go. “My mom promised me she would take a good care of the three of us.”
Kyuhyun relaxed so much in Henry’s embrace that he didn’t notice he was crying harder; strangely finding comfort in Henry’s arms.
“To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.”
---------------
“How’s your mom Henry?” Kyuhyun asked once he was calmer; still both of them sitting in the cold floor of the hospital. Kyuhyun’s tears disappeared; they dried for so much crying.
Henry sighed. “She’s sleeping.” He said calmly as a weak smile was plastered in his face.
Kyuhyun gulped; he actually didn’t want to make Henry sad. “She’s sleeping?” Kyuhyun asked and Henry nodded.
“I saw her in my way here.” Henry said as he hugged his stuffed animal; the one that Hyukjae gave him.
“Oh…” Kyuhyun exclaimed looking away. “I hope she wakes up soon.” He said feeling ashamed.
“She won’t.” Henry said. “She already said goodbye to me.” He smiled weakly.
Kyuhyun felt like if a hammer hit his heart as he heard Henry’s words. “Henry…” He called but he couldn’t continue as Henry’s eyes were getting teary.
“Hyukkie hyung won’t leave us…” Henry said as he fought the tears back. “My mom told me she was going to make sure we all would be okay!” He closed his eyes tightly as he didn’t want to accept anything else than that.
It was Kyuhyun’s turn to comfort the other; he hugged the little boy and both cried silently; cursing their own destinies and being grateful at the same time.
“Many of the great achievements of the world were accomplished by tired and discouraged men who kept on working.”
---------------
Kyuhyun didn’t know when he reached that position and that place; the only thing he knew was that he was resting his body in Hyukjae’s office’s cough and Henry was sleeping soundly in his arms. He couldn’t even think about sleep or eat; he was worried; but he had to admit being with Henry and keeping on accompanying each other was the best to calm him down as his nerves were so wrong.
It has been almost eight hours since he arrived; it was morning already; and Hyukjae was still in surgery; Minho was with him the whole time. But Kyuhyun couldn’t help but feel useless as his only work was to play with Henry’s fingers.
The door of the office opened; revealing a seriously tired Minho who looked just as swollen as Kyuhyun.
Kyuhyun jumped and made his best to first take care of Henry and place him in the cough; he then ran to Minho. “What happened?!” He asked nervously, his hands trembling as his heart stopped just to look for any hint in Minho’s eyes.
Minho sighed and looked down. “The surgery was successful.” He announced and Kyuhyun could feel a great weight getting out of his body. “But…” Minho continued; making Kyuhyun feel the worst again. “He’s still in danger.” He said as he made his way to another chair and rested his body there; he was damn tired; and not only physically; but emotionally too.
“But he’s alive.” Kyuhyun said as a weak smiled made his way to his lips. “Right?” He asked with sparkling eyes. His smile got wider when Minho nodded weakly. “Then he will be alright.” He said sighing. “Hyukkie will be able to fight back whatever it is that he’s facing.” Kyuhyun said softly. “And I’ll by his side to fight with him.”
Minho smiled softly at Kyuhyun. “You’re a good guy Kyuhyun.” Minho said closing his eyes and making himself more comfortable in his chair. “I’m happy you’re the one with Hyukkie.”
Kyuhyun smiled back. “And I’m happy he’s with me.” He closed his eyes as he felt his body get lighter.
Hyukkie is alive. He thought as happiness tears rolled down his eyes.
“My Hyukkie is alive…” He murmured smiling widely.
Minho opened his eyes and smiled. “Keep on supporting him Kyuhyun.” He said. “He will need you a lot.”
Kyuhyun opened his eyes too and just nodded; there were no words for that; he wouldn’t get away from Hyukjae and he had already made that decision time ago.
“Can I see him?” Kyuhyun asked after a few minutes of silence.
Minho sighed. “Too soon.” He simply said and gasped when he saw Kyuhyun’s sad face. “You really want to see him right?” Minho asked.
Kyuhyun nodded again, a smile plastered in his face and his gaze in the infinite. “I can’t live without him.” He admitted now looking at the ceiling. “I want to be with him so he will become my strength and I will become his.”
Minho smiled. “Maybe I can arrange something.” He said.
Kyuhyun looked at Minho and gave his best smile. “Thanks.” He said and Minho could really taste the sincerity of his words. “For everything.” Kyuhyun added.
“You’re welcome.” Minho said as he closed his eyes from tiredness. He sighed before standing up and smiling widely. “Should we go?” He asked and Kyuhyun nodded excited.
Kyuhyun was about to follow Minho out when he turned around and smiled softly. He walked back again and lift Henry in his arms; he smiled at the sleepy figure and then he proceed on following the still smiling Minho.
“Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.”
--------------------
Kyuhyun had been almost three hours just looking at Hyukjae’s pale and sleeping face. “How do you feel Hyukkie?” He asked for the nth time. “I’ll be here so don’t worry okay?” He asked rubbing Hyukjae’s cheek with one of his hands while the other was holding Hyukjae’s cold hand; all the time sitting down in the chair aside Hyukjae’s bed.
“Kyuhyun hyung?” Kyuhyun heard a voice coming from a sleeping Henry.
“Hey Henry.” Kyuhyun greeted smiling at Henry who was rubbing his eyes with his little hand while the other didn’t let go of his stuffed animal. “How do you feel?” Kyuhyun asked as he turned around a little to look at the kid.
“I’m fine hyung.” Henry said as he walked slowly towards Hyukjae’s bed. “Is Hyukkie hyung fine?” He asked raising his feet so he could see at Hyukjae’s face.
Kyuhyun smiled and stood up. “He’s fine.” He said as he lift Henry and placed him in the bed with Hyukjae. “He’s sleeping.” He said and Henry crawled until he was now facing Hyukjae.
Henry pouted. “He won’t leave right?” He asked looking at Kyuhyun with hoping eyes.
Kyuhyun’s expression darkened. “He won’t.” He assured; recording those words so he wouldn’t give up ever.
“That’s good.” Henry said fixing himself so he would be lying in the right side of Hyukjae’s body. “Because I don’t want hyung to go to that place.” He hugged his stuffed animal. “Everyone wants to go there.” He pouted again and tears were forming in his eyes.
Kyuhyun smiled softly. “Hyukkie won’t go there.” He said as he went to Henry’s side. “He’s just tired and he’s resting.” He said as he lift the bed sheets and signaled Henry to get in.
Henry obeyed and soon he was in Hyukjae’s bed, just as if it were normal. “When will hyung wake up?” Henry asked yawning and moving a little to get a more comfortable position.
Kyuhyun smiled weakly as sadness invaded his body. “I don’t know.” He admitted rubbing Henry’s forehead. “Just sleep for now; you have to rest.” He said and Henry nodded.
“I don’t like hospitals hyung.” Henry said with a sleepy voice. “And I don’t like the nurses because they always make me sleep.” He pouted closing his eyes and hugging his stuffed animal tightly.
“I hate those nurses too.” Kyuhyun admitted. “They make me sleep too.”
“They say my body would hurt a lot if I don’t take the medication.” Henry said almost in a whisper.
“And they’re right.” Kyuhyun said fixing the bed sheets for Hyukjae; sighing when he remembered when Hyukjae told him having Leukemia was a hurtful disease.
“You won’t sleep hyung?” Henry asked and Kyuhyun had a little trouble to understand.
“Later.” Kyuhyun said as he sat down at the edge of the bed; waiting for Henry to sleep completely.
“Hyukkie hyung’s bed is huge.” Henry said. “You can sleep here too.”
Kyuhyun smiled. “I will.” He said. “But I have something to do first.”
Henry just stayed quietly; as if making Kyuhyun know he understood. Kyuhyun smiled one last time before standing up and kissing Henry’s forehead. “Rest well.” He whispered and then went to the other side of the bed. “You too my Hyukkie.” He whispered as he pecked on Hyukjae’s cold lips. “Please wake up soon.” He begged now kissing Hyukjae’s forehead.
Kyuhyun went out of the room; trying to make no sound with the door. Hyukjae was now in a normal room; except it was bigger and it had a huge bed.
“Can you explain me?” Kyuhyun asked as soon as he found Minho.
Minho sighed and signaled Kyuhyun to follow him; they arrived at the hospital’s cafeteria and Minho didn’t let go of his strong coffee in his hand. “What is it you want to know?” Minho asked sipping his beverage.
“Everything.” Kyuhyun said frowning lightly and serious.
Minho sighed again. “I can sleep after this right?” He asked and Kyuhyun nodded. “Well…” He started looking away. “Hyukkie needs a bone marrow since is the only treatment that would work.” He said now looking at his coffee. “He’s in what we call induced coma.” He said and Kyuhyun frowned deeper. “That way we can have some time; otherwise Hyukkie’s condition would get worst every minute that passed.”
Kyuhyun sighed. “When will he wake up?” He asked looking at Minho intently.
Minho looked up and met Kyuhyun’s eyes. “I think he will wake up soon.” He smiled softly. And Kyuhyun’s heart skipped a bit.
“What does that mean?” He asked trying hard to calm down.
Minho smiled again. “That means we have a donor and I already scheduled the surgery.”
Kyuhyun smiled widely. “Really?!” He asked happily. “That means Hyukkie will get better soon right?!” He asked excited.
Minho frowned lightly. “Having a transplant doesn’t mean he will recover Kyuhyun.” He adverted and Kyuhyun’s mood went down again. “We have to wait about six months to see if the transplant is successful.” He continued. “And even if it is; he has to take medication for the rest of his life.”
Kyuhyun looked down and sighed. “It will be okay.” He said. “Hyukkie is strong and I will make sure he won’t forget his medication; we will go through this; just wait and see.”
Minho smiled at Kyuhyun’s determination. “I really hope so.” He said.
They stayed in silence a couple of minutes before Kyuhyun spoke again. “How’s Henry’s condition?” He asked softly.
“He already got a donor time ago.” Minho said. “He’s receiving therapy so the transplant will be successful.”
Kyuhyun nodded. “So both will go under surgery.” He concluded and Minho nodded. “What about Henry’s mother?” Kyuhyun dared to ask and Minho gave a weak and soft smile.
“About that…” He started with a bitter but still soft voice. Kyuhyun’s heart started beating really fast. “She’s in an induced coma too.” He announced and Kyuhyun frowned.
“I thought she refused to take treatment.” He said confused. “Why is she in an induced coma?”
“She wished to do it.” Minho said. “She had a really planned future you know?”
Kyuhyun frowned. “What kind of future?”
“The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof.”
-----------------------
Kyuhyun entered the room again; smiling at the image that welcomed him; Hyukjae was sleeping deeply; his hands in the positioning he last saw and Henry lying besides Hyukjae. Kyuhyun walked slowly towards the best and he couldn’t help but feel happy with Minho’s news.
Kyuhyun looked at Henry and his smiled turned bitter. “Thanks.” He said as he went to check if both guys were fine. He sighed when he realized they did. Kyuhyun walked towards the other side of the bed and slid in the blankets; just by Hyukjae’s side.
Kyuhyun hugged Hyukjae by the waist and pulled himself closer to the latter; finally giving up to almost two days of not sleeping and eating anything; he felt his body was tired and it was heavy for him to carry on; he could feel his head was spinning and his body hurt. But he ignored all that when Hyukjae’s scent hit his nose; Kyuhyun cuddled himself into Hyukjae; hugging him possessively and resting his head in Hyukjae’s shoulder; enjoying the sweet scent coming from his hair.
“Have a good rest Hyukkie.” He said as he kissed Hyukjae’s neck. “Just a little more.” He continued closing his eyes. “We just need to keep going a little more.” He said almost in a whisper as his body forced him to sleep. “Be strong.” Was the last thing he said as his consciousness faded away.
~~~
Heechul smiled when he opened the door; even when he really didn’t mean to; he smiled out of happiness. He saw Kyuhyun hugging Hyukjae under the blankets and a cute child on the other side of the bed hugging a stuffed animal. “They look like a family.” He whispered and walked in slowly.
Heechul pretended to just come in and shut at Kyuhyun for not taking care of himself; Minho told him Kyuhyun had been awake and without food since they came back.
He was the first one to arrive because he also was the first one to confess everything that happened to the police and get away from that; He spent almost five hours trying to track Kyuhyun and Hyukjae until Minho called him telling him everything. Heechul sighed in relieved when he hang up and his body told him he had to sleep; which he did while he was on the taxi towards the hospital; planning on hitting Kyuhyun for not making him know.
Heechul’s dark thought went away as he saw how pale Hyukjae and Kyuhyun seemed; he sighed as he checked on them and smiled again when he saw Kyuhyun cuddling himself against Hyukjae while still sleeping.
Heechul jumped lightly when he felt his cell phone was vibrating; he took it out and went out of the room; trying to make no sounds so he wouldn’t wake the boy in there.
“Hannie?” Heechul called softly; traces of the smile while looking inside still in his face.
“Chullie-ah” Hankyung called. “Where are you?” He asked concerned.
“I’m at the hospital.” Heechul said.
“What happened to you?!” Hankyung asked panicking and Heechul chuckled.
“I’m with Kyu and Hyukkie.” Heechul said softly. “Come here and bring some clothes for Kyuhyun okay?” He asked and smiled softly.
“Sure.” Hankyung said calmer. “I’ll be there in a few hours; everybody is coming.” He announced and Heechul just hang up.
Heechul walked around the hospital until he found what he wanted. “Yah!” He exclaimed barging in and scaring Minho who was inside his office.
“Hyung?” Minho asked confused and scared.
“I want you to explain everything to me!” Heechul ordered as he made his way to the cough and crossed his legs and arms.
Minho sighed; he just came to the hospital since he went home and slept some hours before coming back and check on his patients. “Well…” He started before telling and explaining everything to Heechul.
Heechul arrived once again to the room and he gasped when he saw the three were still sleeping.
That must be Henry. Heechul thought as he saw the kid lying next to Hyukjae.
He’s a cute boy. He said in his mind as he sat down once again in the cough.
The door opened again revealing a panting Hankyung. “Chullie-ah…” He called.
“Sh!” Heechul hissed frowning to Hankyung and signaling the sleeping figures of the bed.
Hankyung shut up and looked at the bed; a confused expression visible in his face. “Who’s the kid?” He asked almost in a whisper to Heechul.
Heechul sighed and signaled Hankyung to leave the clothes in the cough; then pointing at the door do they could talk outside.
“How are them?!” Asked a paranoid Leeteuk.
Heechul snorted. “Why don’t you ask Minho? He’s the one taking care of them.” He said and everybody looked at each other like lost puppies. “Aish!” Heechul exclaimed before signaling them to follow him.
“Woah!” Sungmin exclaimed making everybody jump.
“What’s wrong?!” Kangin asked looking at everywhere.
“They all look so cute!” Sungmin squealed; he just wanted to peek on Hyukjae’s room before going away.
“Why?!” Donghae exclaimed before plastering himself to the small window of the hospital room. “Who’s the kid?” He asked at Heechul.
“Let’s go.” Heechul ordered and everybody nodded before following him.
~~~~~
“So try not to smoke anymore okay?” Minho said and he wasn’t entirely convinced when his patient nodded weakly. “You really have to-”
“Yah!” Minho jumped and took his hand to his chest as Heechul’s husky voice appeared in the room.
“Hyung!” Minho exclaimed. “I’m with my patient here!” He said signaling the man in the bed.
Heechul rolled his eyes. “Whatever.” He said. “Just come and explain it to them.”
Minho sighed. “I’ll come tomorrow and I really want you to take care okay?” He asked to the man and the latter nodded. “Let’s go to my office.” Minho said and everybody followed.
“So that’s Henry?” Siwon asked looking at the little kid in the bed. “He seems to be so cute.” He said smiling dorkly.
“So sad he’s so young and he has suffered a lot.” Kibum said and Ryeowook nodded.
“Just as Hyukkie.” Yesung said hugging his turtle.
“Is it okay to bring that thing to the hospital?” Heechul asked lifting his eyebrow.
Yesung nodded and took out a paper from his wallet. “See this?” He asked and Heechul just looked at him. “This is a document that Hyukkie signed so it could come inside.”
Everybody just made a confused expression. “He did?!” Sungmin asked and Yesung just nodded. “That’s weird.” He said murmuring; Donghae nodded at Sungmin’s statement.
“So what follows?” Hankyung asked. “What are we going to do now?”
“I’ll be supporting my son.” Heechul said. “I don’t know about you.”
“I will support my son too!” Leeteuk said determined. “No way I will let him like this!”
“Do you realize we’re probably the ones to blame for Hyukkie to be like that?” Donghae asked sadly and Leeteuk looked at him softly.
“It’s nobody’s fault Hae.” Leeteuk said softly. “It’s just destiny.”
“Exactly.” Heechul said flatly; everybody actually confused since it was the first time he agreed with Leeteuk. “If you feel bad because of what has happened; Hyukkie will feel guilty because of that too.” He explained. “So you better forget about the past and just focus on what’s happening now; we have a lot of time ahead to make it up to him.”
“Show me someone who doesn't dream about the future and I'll show you someone who doesn't know where they are going”
---------------------
It has been almost two weeks and Hyukjae still doesn’t wake up; he has been through radio therapy to prepare for the surgery; Henry has been doing the same. Kyuhyun could see how Henry’s body would get weaker and weaker every day.
As for Kyuhyun; he had been literally living in that hospital room; always sleeping by Hyukjae’s side and always preparing Henry for him to sleep there too. Everybody would visit them every now and then; but Hyukjae had no advance until the surgery was made.
Kangin and Hankyung were in charge of always bringing clean clothes to Kyuhyun. Leeteuk and Heechul were the ones who tried their best to make Kyuhyun go out of that room and eat something. Leeteuk would always talk a long speech which ended up confusing Kyuhyun and the latter already eating in the cafeteria.
Heechul’s method was different. “What will you do if Hyukkie wake up and finds you all pale and skinny?” He used to ask. “You will make him feel guilty.” That was enough to make Kyuhyun eat a lot and stay healthy. “Hyukjae won’t be able to walk in some days…” Heechul told him once. “If you’re not strong enough I will hire some handsome person to carry him everywhere.” That would make Kyuhyun eat a lot of meat and run an hour every morning before dawn.
Finally the day was there; Henry’s surgery would be in the morning while Hyukjae’s in the night.
“I don’t want to!” Henry yelled locking himself in the bathroom. “I want to see Hyukkie hyung awake before going in there!”
Kyuhyun sighed. “He will be awake when you wake up Henry.” He exclaimed by the other side of the door. “And Hyukkie will be sad if you’re not in that surgery because of him.”
Henry opened the door slowly. “Will that make him sad?” He asked and Kyuhyun nodded lightly. “I don’t want Hyukkie hyung to be sad because of me!” He exclaimed running towards Kyuhyun’s arms and crying over Kyuhyun’s embrace.
“That’s why you have to go into the surgery tomorrow.” Kyuhyun said and he felt how Henry nodded in the embrace. “You’re a good boy.” He said patting Henry’s back and smiling softly.
~~~~
“The surgery was successful.” Minho said while going out of the room and finally making Kyuhyun’s heart to take out some weight. “He will probably wake up in a few days.”
Kyuhyun nodded and sat down flatly in the chair; everybody was there the eight hours that it took to finish the surgery; but it was totally worthy; their nerves up to their highest and their worries always flowing up.
Hyukjae’s surgery was next; after Minho slept some hours.
“Will he be okay hyung?” Ryeowook asked nervously when he saw Hyukjae was all pale.
Donghae gulped. “S-Sure.” He said trying to content all his nerves inside.
“I’m sure everything will go perfectly and smoothly.” Sungmin said grabbing Siwon’s hand for support.
“It will.” Siwon said not tearing his eyes away from Hyukjae.
“Hyukkie is really strong.” Kyuhyun said softly; rubbing Hyukjae’s cheek before the latter was dragged inside the operating room. “There’s no way something will go wrong.” He smiled softly and pecked on Hyukjae’s lips before Minho nodded and took him inside.
Everybody looked how Hyukjae was being dragged inside; they saw how the bed was going farer and farer from them. But they could also see Kyuhyun’s lost eyes; they could see that even when the latter was trying his best to keep healthy; his body seemed paler and skinnier; Kyuhyun has been charging everything by his own.
Eight more hours passed and it was already morning; still; Kyuhyun didn’t even sleep a little; he was way too worried to do that; he became even more worried when two more hours passed.
Henry’s surgery took eight hours; but Hyukjae was already inside there ten and there were no news; Kyuhyun started to panic and feeling scared all of a sudden.
Fourteen hours passed and Donghae and Sungmin were sleeping in Siwon’s arms; each one of the by each side; Siwon resting his head in Donghae’s; sleeping too.
Heechul had his head resting in Hankyung’s lap and both were sleeping; Everybody was, except for Kyuhyun who wouldn’t feel tired; he was just waiting for Hyukjae.
The doors of the operating room opened revealing Minho full of blood; nothing like Henry’s surgery.
“How was it?” Kyuhyun asked nervously; everybody was deeply asleep as to hear them.
Minho sighed. “We had some complications.” He said not knowing how knots were made in Kyuhyun’s heart. “But it was successful.”
Tears of happiness went down Kyuhyun’s eyes. “Really?” He asked smiling widely.
Minho smiled back. “Really.” He assured and Kyuhyun fell to his knees; taking his hands to his face and crying his heart out; he wasn’t sad; he was just too happy as to keep it like that.
He cried because he was relieved; he cried because a huge weight in his heart was now off. Kyuhyun was happy everything was getting better for Hyukjae.
“Hope is a dream that doesn’t fall asleep.”

“You can't put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get.”
The doors of the emergency room cracked open; the sound of screams, yells, groans and pain was the only thing that could be heard while the door revealed a bleeding Hyukjae in the hospital bed; with nurses and doctors all over him; one of the paramedics still trying to bring him back to life doing cardio pulmonary resuscitation; a nurse trying his best to maintain Hyukjae’s breathing alive.
Doctors by his sides were screaming and yelling orders so the patient would survive; nurses running to get medicine and instruments; people getting out of their way so the mass could pass by them.
The door also revealed a frustrated Kyuhyun, with swollen eyes and almost no energy left. His shirt was all tainted with Hyukjae’s blood. And the only thing he could do was to watch the horrible scene in front of him; it was as if the world stopped; Kyuhyun couldn’t see the doctors and nurses; the only thing he could see was Hyukjae lying in the hospital bed. Every centimeter that Hyukjae went away from him was Kyuhyun’s life going with him.
His heart flinched when he could feel how Hyukjae’s cold hand was getting away from his; he swore that was the worst feeling ever in his entire life.
What if he doesn’t come back? Kyuhyun hit the hospital wall hardly; trying to make himself hurt before thinking like that again.
He will. He tried to assure to himself while his tears drained his shirt and his knees couldn’t hold him any longer.
He fell down his knees slowly, holding himself with his arms in the floor; feeling the guilt and sadness hit him every time he breathed. It was painful and Kyuhyun couldn’t stand it anymore.
“Kyuhyun hyung?” He heard a voice and he turned around quickly; just to see a confused and concerned Henry standing next to him.
“Oh Henry…” He cleared his throat, fixing himself so he was at least sitting down in the floor; with his back resting on the white wall.
“Are you okay Hyung?” Henry asked titling his head and looking at Kyuhyun concerned.
Kyuhyun smiled weakly; he didn’t want Henry to be worried; the kid just had too much; maybe as much as he did. “I’m fine Henry.” He answered weakly as he felt his body fall into pieces.
“Don’t worry.” Henry said as he sat down besides Kyuhyun, taking care his hospitals clothes didn’t get ruined. “Hyukkie hyung will be alright.” He said smiling brightly.
Kyuhyun opened his eyes widely and turned to look at Henry. “H-How… How do you know?” He asked surprised at the younger’s braveness.
Henry smiled softly. “I saw him being carried in the hospital room.” He said now distracting himself by looking at his feet.
Kyuhyun felt a sting in his stomach as Henry spoke; he felt weak even by Henry’s side. “Aren’t you afraid?” He finally asked to the little boy.
Henry smiled and shook his head lightly. “I once saw him like that.” He said and Kyuhyun opened his eyes even wider.
“When?” He asked and Henry looked around; as if trying to remember. “That time we took radio therapy together!” He exclaimed clapping his hands. “Hyung was with me the whole time!”
“R-Radio therapy?” Kyuhyun asked not wanting to believe.
“Hmm.” Henry nodded. “We took it together though his dose was stronger.” He said trailing off; totally missing Kyuhyun’s painful and confused expression.
“Do you know what is it Hyukkie has?” Kyuhyun asked; he felt ignorant; he wanted to hit himself because he couldn’t conceive he didn’t know anything about the one he loved.
Henry looked at Kyuhyun and shook his head lightly. “I don’t.” He said weakly. “But I know Hyukkie hyung needs a bone marrow!” He exclaimed. “Just like me!”
Kyuhyun gasped. “You know so much…” He whispered; making it more painful for him to deal with it. “I just want to look at his pure eyes once again…” He murmured as his tears went down once again.
Henry panicked; he didn’t want to see Kyuhyun like that; he didn’t like it. Kyuhyun was like dead, literally on the floor while the only thing that could be heard was sobbings and yells from the people in the hospital.
Henry bit his lower lip and scratched his bald head. He didn’t think anymore before hugging Kyuhyun as tightly as a kid could. “He will be fine Hyung.” He promised not letting Kyuhyun go. “My mom promised me she would take a good care of the three of us.”
Kyuhyun relaxed so much in Henry’s embrace that he didn’t notice he was crying harder; strangely finding comfort in Henry’s arms.
“To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.”
---------------
“How’s your mom Henry?” Kyuhyun asked once he was calmer; still both of them sitting in the cold floor of the hospital. Kyuhyun’s tears disappeared; they dried for so much crying.
Henry sighed. “She’s sleeping.” He said calmly as a weak smile was plastered in his face.
Kyuhyun gulped; he actually didn’t want to make Henry sad. “She’s sleeping?” Kyuhyun asked and Henry nodded.
“I saw her in my way here.” Henry said as he hugged his stuffed animal; the one that Hyukjae gave him.
“Oh…” Kyuhyun exclaimed looking away. “I hope she wakes up soon.” He said feeling ashamed.
“She won’t.” Henry said. “She already said goodbye to me.” He smiled weakly.
Kyuhyun felt like if a hammer hit his heart as he heard Henry’s words. “Henry…” He called but he couldn’t continue as Henry’s eyes were getting teary.
“Hyukkie hyung won’t leave us…” Henry said as he fought the tears back. “My mom told me she was going to make sure we all would be okay!” He closed his eyes tightly as he didn’t want to accept anything else than that.
It was Kyuhyun’s turn to comfort the other; he hugged the little boy and both cried silently; cursing their own destinies and being grateful at the same time.
“Many of the great achievements of the world were accomplished by tired and discouraged men who kept on working.”
---------------
Kyuhyun didn’t know when he reached that position and that place; the only thing he knew was that he was resting his body in Hyukjae’s office’s cough and Henry was sleeping soundly in his arms. He couldn’t even think about sleep or eat; he was worried; but he had to admit being with Henry and keeping on accompanying each other was the best to calm him down as his nerves were so wrong.
It has been almost eight hours since he arrived; it was morning already; and Hyukjae was still in surgery; Minho was with him the whole time. But Kyuhyun couldn’t help but feel useless as his only work was to play with Henry’s fingers.
The door of the office opened; revealing a seriously tired Minho who looked just as swollen as Kyuhyun.
Kyuhyun jumped and made his best to first take care of Henry and place him in the cough; he then ran to Minho. “What happened?!” He asked nervously, his hands trembling as his heart stopped just to look for any hint in Minho’s eyes.
Minho sighed and looked down. “The surgery was successful.” He announced and Kyuhyun could feel a great weight getting out of his body. “But…” Minho continued; making Kyuhyun feel the worst again. “He’s still in danger.” He said as he made his way to another chair and rested his body there; he was damn tired; and not only physically; but emotionally too.
“But he’s alive.” Kyuhyun said as a weak smiled made his way to his lips. “Right?” He asked with sparkling eyes. His smile got wider when Minho nodded weakly. “Then he will be alright.” He said sighing. “Hyukkie will be able to fight back whatever it is that he’s facing.” Kyuhyun said softly. “And I’ll by his side to fight with him.”
Minho smiled softly at Kyuhyun. “You’re a good guy Kyuhyun.” Minho said closing his eyes and making himself more comfortable in his chair. “I’m happy you’re the one with Hyukkie.”
Kyuhyun smiled back. “And I’m happy he’s with me.” He closed his eyes as he felt his body get lighter.
Hyukkie is alive. He thought as happiness tears rolled down his eyes.
“My Hyukkie is alive…” He murmured smiling widely.
Minho opened his eyes and smiled. “Keep on supporting him Kyuhyun.” He said. “He will need you a lot.”
Kyuhyun opened his eyes too and just nodded; there were no words for that; he wouldn’t get away from Hyukjae and he had already made that decision time ago.
“Can I see him?” Kyuhyun asked after a few minutes of silence.
Minho sighed. “Too soon.” He simply said and gasped when he saw Kyuhyun’s sad face. “You really want to see him right?” Minho asked.
Kyuhyun nodded again, a smile plastered in his face and his gaze in the infinite. “I can’t live without him.” He admitted now looking at the ceiling. “I want to be with him so he will become my strength and I will become his.”
Minho smiled. “Maybe I can arrange something.” He said.
Kyuhyun looked at Minho and gave his best smile. “Thanks.” He said and Minho could really taste the sincerity of his words. “For everything.” Kyuhyun added.
“You’re welcome.” Minho said as he closed his eyes from tiredness. He sighed before standing up and smiling widely. “Should we go?” He asked and Kyuhyun nodded excited.
Kyuhyun was about to follow Minho out when he turned around and smiled softly. He walked back again and lift Henry in his arms; he smiled at the sleepy figure and then he proceed on following the still smiling Minho.
“Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.”
--------------------
Kyuhyun had been almost three hours just looking at Hyukjae’s pale and sleeping face. “How do you feel Hyukkie?” He asked for the nth time. “I’ll be here so don’t worry okay?” He asked rubbing Hyukjae’s cheek with one of his hands while the other was holding Hyukjae’s cold hand; all the time sitting down in the chair aside Hyukjae’s bed.
“Kyuhyun hyung?” Kyuhyun heard a voice coming from a sleeping Henry.
“Hey Henry.” Kyuhyun greeted smiling at Henry who was rubbing his eyes with his little hand while the other didn’t let go of his stuffed animal. “How do you feel?” Kyuhyun asked as he turned around a little to look at the kid.
“I’m fine hyung.” Henry said as he walked slowly towards Hyukjae’s bed. “Is Hyukkie hyung fine?” He asked raising his feet so he could see at Hyukjae’s face.
Kyuhyun smiled and stood up. “He’s fine.” He said as he lift Henry and placed him in the bed with Hyukjae. “He’s sleeping.” He said and Henry crawled until he was now facing Hyukjae.
Henry pouted. “He won’t leave right?” He asked looking at Kyuhyun with hoping eyes.
Kyuhyun’s expression darkened. “He won’t.” He assured; recording those words so he wouldn’t give up ever.
“That’s good.” Henry said fixing himself so he would be lying in the right side of Hyukjae’s body. “Because I don’t want hyung to go to that place.” He hugged his stuffed animal. “Everyone wants to go there.” He pouted again and tears were forming in his eyes.
Kyuhyun smiled softly. “Hyukkie won’t go there.” He said as he went to Henry’s side. “He’s just tired and he’s resting.” He said as he lift the bed sheets and signaled Henry to get in.
Henry obeyed and soon he was in Hyukjae’s bed, just as if it were normal. “When will hyung wake up?” Henry asked yawning and moving a little to get a more comfortable position.
Kyuhyun smiled weakly as sadness invaded his body. “I don’t know.” He admitted rubbing Henry’s forehead. “Just sleep for now; you have to rest.” He said and Henry nodded.
“I don’t like hospitals hyung.” Henry said with a sleepy voice. “And I don’t like the nurses because they always make me sleep.” He pouted closing his eyes and hugging his stuffed animal tightly.
“I hate those nurses too.” Kyuhyun admitted. “They make me sleep too.”
“They say my body would hurt a lot if I don’t take the medication.” Henry said almost in a whisper.
“And they’re right.” Kyuhyun said fixing the bed sheets for Hyukjae; sighing when he remembered when Hyukjae told him having Leukemia was a hurtful disease.
“You won’t sleep hyung?” Henry asked and Kyuhyun had a little trouble to understand.
“Later.” Kyuhyun said as he sat down at the edge of the bed; waiting for Henry to sleep completely.
“Hyukkie hyung’s bed is huge.” Henry said. “You can sleep here too.”
Kyuhyun smiled. “I will.” He said. “But I have something to do first.”
Henry just stayed quietly; as if making Kyuhyun know he understood. Kyuhyun smiled one last time before standing up and kissing Henry’s forehead. “Rest well.” He whispered and then went to the other side of the bed. “You too my Hyukkie.” He whispered as he pecked on Hyukjae’s cold lips. “Please wake up soon.” He begged now kissing Hyukjae’s forehead.
Kyuhyun went out of the room; trying to make no sound with the door. Hyukjae was now in a normal room; except it was bigger and it had a huge bed.
“Can you explain me?” Kyuhyun asked as soon as he found Minho.
Minho sighed and signaled Kyuhyun to follow him; they arrived at the hospital’s cafeteria and Minho didn’t let go of his strong coffee in his hand. “What is it you want to know?” Minho asked sipping his beverage.
“Everything.” Kyuhyun said frowning lightly and serious.
Minho sighed again. “I can sleep after this right?” He asked and Kyuhyun nodded. “Well…” He started looking away. “Hyukkie needs a bone marrow since is the only treatment that would work.” He said now looking at his coffee. “He’s in what we call induced coma.” He said and Kyuhyun frowned deeper. “That way we can have some time; otherwise Hyukkie’s condition would get worst every minute that passed.”
Kyuhyun sighed. “When will he wake up?” He asked looking at Minho intently.
Minho looked up and met Kyuhyun’s eyes. “I think he will wake up soon.” He smiled softly. And Kyuhyun’s heart skipped a bit.
“What does that mean?” He asked trying hard to calm down.
Minho smiled again. “That means we have a donor and I already scheduled the surgery.”
Kyuhyun smiled widely. “Really?!” He asked happily. “That means Hyukkie will get better soon right?!” He asked excited.
Minho frowned lightly. “Having a transplant doesn’t mean he will recover Kyuhyun.” He adverted and Kyuhyun’s mood went down again. “We have to wait about six months to see if the transplant is successful.” He continued. “And even if it is; he has to take medication for the rest of his life.”
Kyuhyun looked down and sighed. “It will be okay.” He said. “Hyukkie is strong and I will make sure he won’t forget his medication; we will go through this; just wait and see.”
Minho smiled at Kyuhyun’s determination. “I really hope so.” He said.
They stayed in silence a couple of minutes before Kyuhyun spoke again. “How’s Henry’s condition?” He asked softly.
“He already got a donor time ago.” Minho said. “He’s receiving therapy so the transplant will be successful.”
Kyuhyun nodded. “So both will go under surgery.” He concluded and Minho nodded. “What about Henry’s mother?” Kyuhyun dared to ask and Minho gave a weak and soft smile.
“About that…” He started with a bitter but still soft voice. Kyuhyun’s heart started beating really fast. “She’s in an induced coma too.” He announced and Kyuhyun frowned.
“I thought she refused to take treatment.” He said confused. “Why is she in an induced coma?”
“She wished to do it.” Minho said. “She had a really planned future you know?”
Kyuhyun frowned. “What kind of future?”
“The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof.”
-----------------------
Kyuhyun entered the room again; smiling at the image that welcomed him; Hyukjae was sleeping deeply; his hands in the positioning he last saw and Henry lying besides Hyukjae. Kyuhyun walked slowly towards the best and he couldn’t help but feel happy with Minho’s news.
Kyuhyun looked at Henry and his smiled turned bitter. “Thanks.” He said as he went to check if both guys were fine. He sighed when he realized they did. Kyuhyun walked towards the other side of the bed and slid in the blankets; just by Hyukjae’s side.
Kyuhyun hugged Hyukjae by the waist and pulled himself closer to the latter; finally giving up to almost two days of not sleeping and eating anything; he felt his body was tired and it was heavy for him to carry on; he could feel his head was spinning and his body hurt. But he ignored all that when Hyukjae’s scent hit his nose; Kyuhyun cuddled himself into Hyukjae; hugging him possessively and resting his head in Hyukjae’s shoulder; enjoying the sweet scent coming from his hair.
“Have a good rest Hyukkie.” He said as he kissed Hyukjae’s neck. “Just a little more.” He continued closing his eyes. “We just need to keep going a little more.” He said almost in a whisper as his body forced him to sleep. “Be strong.” Was the last thing he said as his consciousness faded away.
~~~
Heechul smiled when he opened the door; even when he really didn’t mean to; he smiled out of happiness. He saw Kyuhyun hugging Hyukjae under the blankets and a cute child on the other side of the bed hugging a stuffed animal. “They look like a family.” He whispered and walked in slowly.
Heechul pretended to just come in and shut at Kyuhyun for not taking care of himself; Minho told him Kyuhyun had been awake and without food since they came back.
He was the first one to arrive because he also was the first one to confess everything that happened to the police and get away from that; He spent almost five hours trying to track Kyuhyun and Hyukjae until Minho called him telling him everything. Heechul sighed in relieved when he hang up and his body told him he had to sleep; which he did while he was on the taxi towards the hospital; planning on hitting Kyuhyun for not making him know.
Heechul’s dark thought went away as he saw how pale Hyukjae and Kyuhyun seemed; he sighed as he checked on them and smiled again when he saw Kyuhyun cuddling himself against Hyukjae while still sleeping.
Heechul jumped lightly when he felt his cell phone was vibrating; he took it out and went out of the room; trying to make no sounds so he wouldn’t wake the boy in there.
“Hannie?” Heechul called softly; traces of the smile while looking inside still in his face.
“Chullie-ah” Hankyung called. “Where are you?” He asked concerned.
“I’m at the hospital.” Heechul said.
“What happened to you?!” Hankyung asked panicking and Heechul chuckled.
“I’m with Kyu and Hyukkie.” Heechul said softly. “Come here and bring some clothes for Kyuhyun okay?” He asked and smiled softly.
“Sure.” Hankyung said calmer. “I’ll be there in a few hours; everybody is coming.” He announced and Heechul just hang up.
Heechul walked around the hospital until he found what he wanted. “Yah!” He exclaimed barging in and scaring Minho who was inside his office.
“Hyung?” Minho asked confused and scared.
“I want you to explain everything to me!” Heechul ordered as he made his way to the cough and crossed his legs and arms.
Minho sighed; he just came to the hospital since he went home and slept some hours before coming back and check on his patients. “Well…” He started before telling and explaining everything to Heechul.
Heechul arrived once again to the room and he gasped when he saw the three were still sleeping.
That must be Henry. Heechul thought as he saw the kid lying next to Hyukjae.
He’s a cute boy. He said in his mind as he sat down once again in the cough.
The door opened again revealing a panting Hankyung. “Chullie-ah…” He called.
“Sh!” Heechul hissed frowning to Hankyung and signaling the sleeping figures of the bed.
Hankyung shut up and looked at the bed; a confused expression visible in his face. “Who’s the kid?” He asked almost in a whisper to Heechul.
Heechul sighed and signaled Hankyung to leave the clothes in the cough; then pointing at the door do they could talk outside.
“How are them?!” Asked a paranoid Leeteuk.
Heechul snorted. “Why don’t you ask Minho? He’s the one taking care of them.” He said and everybody looked at each other like lost puppies. “Aish!” Heechul exclaimed before signaling them to follow him.
“Woah!” Sungmin exclaimed making everybody jump.
“What’s wrong?!” Kangin asked looking at everywhere.
“They all look so cute!” Sungmin squealed; he just wanted to peek on Hyukjae’s room before going away.
“Why?!” Donghae exclaimed before plastering himself to the small window of the hospital room. “Who’s the kid?” He asked at Heechul.
“Let’s go.” Heechul ordered and everybody nodded before following him.
~~~~~
“So try not to smoke anymore okay?” Minho said and he wasn’t entirely convinced when his patient nodded weakly. “You really have to-”
“Yah!” Minho jumped and took his hand to his chest as Heechul’s husky voice appeared in the room.
“Hyung!” Minho exclaimed. “I’m with my patient here!” He said signaling the man in the bed.
Heechul rolled his eyes. “Whatever.” He said. “Just come and explain it to them.”
Minho sighed. “I’ll come tomorrow and I really want you to take care okay?” He asked to the man and the latter nodded. “Let’s go to my office.” Minho said and everybody followed.
“So that’s Henry?” Siwon asked looking at the little kid in the bed. “He seems to be so cute.” He said smiling dorkly.
“So sad he’s so young and he has suffered a lot.” Kibum said and Ryeowook nodded.
“Just as Hyukkie.” Yesung said hugging his turtle.
“Is it okay to bring that thing to the hospital?” Heechul asked lifting his eyebrow.
Yesung nodded and took out a paper from his wallet. “See this?” He asked and Heechul just looked at him. “This is a document that Hyukkie signed so it could come inside.”
Everybody just made a confused expression. “He did?!” Sungmin asked and Yesung just nodded. “That’s weird.” He said murmuring; Donghae nodded at Sungmin’s statement.
“So what follows?” Hankyung asked. “What are we going to do now?”
“I’ll be supporting my son.” Heechul said. “I don’t know about you.”
“I will support my son too!” Leeteuk said determined. “No way I will let him like this!”
“Do you realize we’re probably the ones to blame for Hyukkie to be like that?” Donghae asked sadly and Leeteuk looked at him softly.
“It’s nobody’s fault Hae.” Leeteuk said softly. “It’s just destiny.”
“Exactly.” Heechul said flatly; everybody actually confused since it was the first time he agreed with Leeteuk. “If you feel bad because of what has happened; Hyukkie will feel guilty because of that too.” He explained. “So you better forget about the past and just focus on what’s happening now; we have a lot of time ahead to make it up to him.”
“Show me someone who doesn't dream about the future and I'll show you someone who doesn't know where they are going”
---------------------
It has been almost two weeks and Hyukjae still doesn’t wake up; he has been through radio therapy to prepare for the surgery; Henry has been doing the same. Kyuhyun could see how Henry’s body would get weaker and weaker every day.
As for Kyuhyun; he had been literally living in that hospital room; always sleeping by Hyukjae’s side and always preparing Henry for him to sleep there too. Everybody would visit them every now and then; but Hyukjae had no advance until the surgery was made.
Kangin and Hankyung were in charge of always bringing clean clothes to Kyuhyun. Leeteuk and Heechul were the ones who tried their best to make Kyuhyun go out of that room and eat something. Leeteuk would always talk a long speech which ended up confusing Kyuhyun and the latter already eating in the cafeteria.
Heechul’s method was different. “What will you do if Hyukkie wake up and finds you all pale and skinny?” He used to ask. “You will make him feel guilty.” That was enough to make Kyuhyun eat a lot and stay healthy. “Hyukjae won’t be able to walk in some days…” Heechul told him once. “If you’re not strong enough I will hire some handsome person to carry him everywhere.” That would make Kyuhyun eat a lot of meat and run an hour every morning before dawn.
Finally the day was there; Henry’s surgery would be in the morning while Hyukjae’s in the night.
“I don’t want to!” Henry yelled locking himself in the bathroom. “I want to see Hyukkie hyung awake before going in there!”
Kyuhyun sighed. “He will be awake when you wake up Henry.” He exclaimed by the other side of the door. “And Hyukkie will be sad if you’re not in that surgery because of him.”
Henry opened the door slowly. “Will that make him sad?” He asked and Kyuhyun nodded lightly. “I don’t want Hyukkie hyung to be sad because of me!” He exclaimed running towards Kyuhyun’s arms and crying over Kyuhyun’s embrace.
“That’s why you have to go into the surgery tomorrow.” Kyuhyun said and he felt how Henry nodded in the embrace. “You’re a good boy.” He said patting Henry’s back and smiling softly.
~~~~
“The surgery was successful.” Minho said while going out of the room and finally making Kyuhyun’s heart to take out some weight. “He will probably wake up in a few days.”
Kyuhyun nodded and sat down flatly in the chair; everybody was there the eight hours that it took to finish the surgery; but it was totally worthy; their nerves up to their highest and their worries always flowing up.
Hyukjae’s surgery was next; after Minho slept some hours.
“Will he be okay hyung?” Ryeowook asked nervously when he saw Hyukjae was all pale.
Donghae gulped. “S-Sure.” He said trying to content all his nerves inside.
“I’m sure everything will go perfectly and smoothly.” Sungmin said grabbing Siwon’s hand for support.
“It will.” Siwon said not tearing his eyes away from Hyukjae.
“Hyukkie is really strong.” Kyuhyun said softly; rubbing Hyukjae’s cheek before the latter was dragged inside the operating room. “There’s no way something will go wrong.” He smiled softly and pecked on Hyukjae’s lips before Minho nodded and took him inside.
Everybody looked how Hyukjae was being dragged inside; they saw how the bed was going farer and farer from them. But they could also see Kyuhyun’s lost eyes; they could see that even when the latter was trying his best to keep healthy; his body seemed paler and skinnier; Kyuhyun has been charging everything by his own.
Eight more hours passed and it was already morning; still; Kyuhyun didn’t even sleep a little; he was way too worried to do that; he became even more worried when two more hours passed.
Henry’s surgery took eight hours; but Hyukjae was already inside there ten and there were no news; Kyuhyun started to panic and feeling scared all of a sudden.
Fourteen hours passed and Donghae and Sungmin were sleeping in Siwon’s arms; each one of the by each side; Siwon resting his head in Donghae’s; sleeping too.
Heechul had his head resting in Hankyung’s lap and both were sleeping; Everybody was, except for Kyuhyun who wouldn’t feel tired; he was just waiting for Hyukjae.
The doors of the operating room opened revealing Minho full of blood; nothing like Henry’s surgery.
“How was it?” Kyuhyun asked nervously; everybody was deeply asleep as to hear them.
Minho sighed. “We had some complications.” He said not knowing how knots were made in Kyuhyun’s heart. “But it was successful.”
Tears of happiness went down Kyuhyun’s eyes. “Really?” He asked smiling widely.
Minho smiled back. “Really.” He assured and Kyuhyun fell to his knees; taking his hands to his face and crying his heart out; he wasn’t sad; he was just too happy as to keep it like that.
He cried because he was relieved; he cried because a huge weight in his heart was now off. Kyuhyun was happy everything was getting better for Hyukjae.
“Hope is a dream that doesn’t fall asleep.”
