After that incident, he never came back. But, every single day, I would always think that he'd come, I would always look at my surroundings and doze off, and I get the feeling that the time has stopped. But my hopes were getting high. Therefore, it became my daily routine. Of course, I would never get tired of waiting since, he is the one I could rely on, just let me vent out my feelings for one last time.
Today, I feel sick, maybe it was from the weather? The weather was very hot then it became cold, I thought that it would be okay to go there since it is not that bad. Since it was chilly outside, I wore a grey turtleneck sweater, jeans, and a coat.
College is very hard, we all need to pass every semester for the reason that we are slowly entering the life of an adult. Being an adult is not a joke, you need to pay bills, and do other things most adults do. I never knew how to properly organize my notes and it was a complete disaster, to be honest. However, since the day I met him, we would constantly talk about the perfect way to organize my notes. To be frank, he looked like a teacher, due to his skills. Well, that would be my assumption about him rather than being a businessman.
Lectures are also boring, nevertheless, my professor's teaching method is monotonous. Does it feel that it was lacking something- maybe his energy? He is a dull person after all. Even though he has that attitude, he helps us too whenever we had a hard time on something from his subject, or even from other subjects! The students even had an astonishingly high grade on his subject, I was also surprised when I saw my marks. In the end, he isn't that bad of a teacher after all.
Since I shouldn't be thinking too hard about his leave, I should do my duties as the president of our department. I quickly rushed to the council room and of course, the members of the council greeted me in a lively way.
"Good afternoon Daehyun." Said Felix, as he was playing on his gaming console.
Felix looks like he isn't capable of doing anything since most of the time, it looks like that he's just slacking off. Not to mention, he would constantly sleep during lectures. Even if he's like that, he is one of the top students in this course.
Even I couldn't believe that he gets a high grade although he's quite that guy who is very chill. And there's more! During assignments, projects, or even paperwork, he would do it so quickly that you wouldn't even notice that he's done with it. And yes, he sleeps right after.
Even our professor was mad about it. Not until they check his work. He would always get a high mark in which he would have maybe one or two incorrect questions.
Moving on, Felix has great art skills. Well, I can draw too but, he is completely different. He can do realistic drawings, landscapes, and could even sculpt things using clay!
In addition to that, he would love to have an art school. It's his dream to open one and teach young aspiring artists that are beginners to this whole other world- in art.
Well, that's Felix I guess. Good thing he's not interested in being top 1 though.
"Hey, uh, Deehyun!" Ah, yes, he would always say my name wrong! "It's Daehyun, Felix. DAE.HYUN." I said. "Yeah yeah, that. So, we have a problem earlier, which involves bullying. Ugh, I hate people like this, they are fully grown up and know what's right to wrong but they would ALWAYS tend to be immature." He sighed. "Well, what seems to be the problem?"
"Well, there's this one senior who would always ask the other students that they should do their work and something like that." And he gave me the shreds of evidence.
As I read the evidence, there was blackmailing and another kind of stuff. I am utterly disappointed to see that this is happening and I didn't do anything about it. Though I am really weak about these specific things so, Jia, our secretary. Had been reading novels about detectives and how to solve cases so-
"Jia! Our beautiful secretary!" I shouted with a sarcastic tone. "Yes, president. Since I KNOW that you were going to ask that. I would take care of this now." As she cracks her knuckles. "Well, let's just say that I had taken care of that earlier. And this senior is going to be suspended for a couple of days."
Jia, she is very lively and good at these things and she does a great job too! Not only she's smart but also, she likes solving cases. "Wow! I knew you would take care of that! A huge thank you, Jia!." I thanked. "Just treat my brother some food." She asked. "Yes, of course."
Ah, finally, it is over. I could finally go to the place where we always meet- the park. It is a very lovely and beautiful park, everyone is always there so most of the time, children are playing, couples having conversations, and us, well I still haven't given up since the day he didn't show up. I have faith that someday, we would meet again and have another conversation and I missed the way he offers sweets, with that enchanting smile of his. Even with that smile, his eyes say otherwise.
The air feels heavy today, yet I still decided to go here. It is a good thing that to where we normally sit isn't taken.
Though we only met for two months, we had so many memories. It feels like we knew each other for a long time that I could write a book about him, from his love for books to his favorite shows. It was unexpected that we had gotten this close. Or so I thought.
I was very unaware of my cold like I had forgotten about it however, my body started to feel so hot that I feel even worse than earlier furthermore, it was hard to breathe as if there was stopping me from getting air, like something heavy on top of my chest, my vision was getting unclear and I feel so nauseous that I couldn't even move a muscle.
Thump.
Thump.
Thump.
Thump.
I could sense that my heartbeat was beating so loud that anyone could hear it. I opened my eyes and there I am lying down on to the cold hospital bed it was very silent that I could only hear my beating heart and I recognize the smell of the typical hospital room, my personal opinion is that I love the smell of it.
The curtains were also open so I could see the things that are happening from the outside, well aside from that why am I here? Questioning myself and I remembered that I collapsed while I was gazing off, but who brought me here exactly?
"Oh, so you are awake, Daehyun." I was dumbfounded, it was Siwon as always, and he looked stunning that every woman would fall for him, his gray silky long hair topping it off with his beautiful blue eyes- like the ocean. In addition to that, he has a unique fashion style that whoever looks at him would feel envious.
Since we were so busy that we never got in touch. But, here we are meeting in a hospital room.
This is the worst way to have a reunion with your friend after so long.
"But how? How did you find me?" I asked him with a confused face. "Well, since we never meet, I thought that I should surprise you after your class, you know, having to eat dinner together at your favorite eating place, but instead of having me surprise you, you were the one who shocked me! When I looked for you, I saw you unconscious, I thought that you were a goner! Oh, and if you are wondering, you were in a coma for 3 days."
As I saw his face, tears were streaming down his face that shows just how worried he was, and that made me unhappy and tears also dropped from my eyes, he lied down on top of the bed and embraced me real hard. "I am so lucky to have you as a friend Siwon, thank you." And that's where the sound of our sobs filled the empty room.
"You are such a crybaby for a man." He said. "You started it though." And he gave me an annoyed look.
We sulked for a good period, and I explained the situation I had "But why you did even went there even if you knew that you had a cold, and that made things worse!" He said as he struck my forehead. "Ouch, that hurts! Well because of my selfish desires and my high hopes is that I didn't take a day off." He sighed and looked at me "You know, I never saw you once liking a guy. But the way you describe him, isn't he older than you?" He gave me a look that it was obvious that he disproves my liking to him.
"Well, even if he is a lot older than me, I would still like him besides, he looks younger than you think." I smirked and gently caressed his hair, "You know, what's more important? You look gorgeous yet you are still single." I saw him blushing, he looks just like a tomato! "Aw, are you blushing?" I teased him. "Huh? Me? Blushing? Hell no." He denied
He softly giggled, and looked at me "Of course I have no time for a relationship since there is one person I like that doesn't like me back." Then he looked down. "Aw, don't be like that. There is always another way to get into the heart of your special someone." I smiled and looked at the flowers on the bedside table. "How could I even do that if that person likes someone else?" He sighed.
"Who even is the person you like?" I gave him a questioning look.
"It's for me to know, and for you to find out." He said and laughed it off. "Fine, but come on, let's not talk about that now and let's eat since I am starving." I rubbed my belly as to give Siwon a sign that I need to eat something "Sure, I promised to buy seaweed soup did I not?" I nodded "Well then, stay here, and I will buy some Sir." "Could you not?" I laughed from the way he made fun of me.
It's been 30 minutes, what's taking him so long? I am so bored looking at my window, I think I'll explore the hospital building. I stood up and went outside of my room, I see nurses roaming around the hallway, looks like there's an emergency that happened.
"Oh, sir Daehyun. Where are you going?" Said a nearby nurse, looking at me. "I am just going for a little walk. Oh, and If you see someone going to my room, and asked where I am, tell her that and not to worry about me." She nodded, "Okay sir, have a good walk then."
