The doctor turned towards Donghae raising his eyebrows. Jake was still standing infront of him with the same thunderous look while Donghae stared back at him, thinking of an answer. His eyes travelled along the room and finnally he pointed his finger accusingly at Luca who was smirking infront of the broken windows.

"He told me to come" whinned Donghae, still avoiding looking into Jake's eyes.

Luca came forward and stood beside the old doctor who was looking back and forth between Donghae and Jake, taking them in warily.

"I did tell him to come ofcourse, I thought he'd be some fucking help" he said grinning, and suddenly the doctor clapped his hands almost making Donghae jump out of his skin.

"Are you his best friend?" asked the old man looking delighted. Donghae felt like gagging when he heard that but Jake gave a snort looking away, but his eyes weren't looking amused, infact he looked like he was barely concentrating on what was happeing around him.

"I'm not!" gasped Donghae horrified beyong reason, but the doctor wasn't listening to him. Without letting him speak, the old man grabbed his wrist and made him stand besides Hyukjae. Donghae glanced at him but Jake was studiously looking down.

'What in the dimensions of fucking hell is going inside his evil head?' thought Donghae glaring.

"I can make you responsible for looking after him" said the Doctor happily, completely oblivious to the pleading look Donghae was giving him.

It was as if someone banged on his head with a sledge hammer.

"What!?" croaked Donghae when at last the message sank down in his head. But the doctor was busy giving Jake a last checkup before he started with the stitching.

"Ok Mr. Maranzano" he said rubbing his hands together, let's start shall we?

Finnally those gray-blue eyes turned towards Donghae. There wasn't a trace of a smile on Jake's face. He just looked tired and Donghae noticed the dark rims under his eyes.

"Go out" he said quietly, his voice sounding just as tired. For a fleeting moment, Donghae felt a wild urge to put his arms around Jake and tell him that everything would be alright, but it clearly wasn't at the moment.

"Cant I-"

Jake glared at him. His patience seemed to have evaporated and Donghae knew better than to egg him on when Jake was in these kinds of moods. Who knows? egg him more and he might end up with a free one way ticket down the window anytime.

"You too Luca" said Jake tiredly and Luca gave a nodd. Grabbing a still gawping Donghae away from Jake, he proceeded towards the door until Jake heard a soft click of the door being closed.

*********

Outside the door, Donghae thrashed against Luca's iron like grip.

"Let! Me GO!!" screamed Donghae, visously kicking againts Luca's which made little damage. Luca seemed like a rhinoceros when compared to Donghae's entire frame. "Can't you see he need someone to stay with him?!"

Luca finally let go of him, making Donghae flop down on the floor. He looked up glaring while the big Italian chucked.

"No I cant" he said, still chuckling, "If you have something called eyes then you might've realized his body language by now"

Donghae finnally stopped thrashing, he knew it was just after his and Jake's breakup but his mind was still getting used to the fact that he should just treat Hyukjae as his Boss now...

"Ok" said Donghae in a tiny voice, but after a second he was back at the warpath.

"Why didnt you say anything when that idiotic doctor made me take the shitty responsibility for Jake!?" he shouted, "you know he hates the crap outta me!"

Luca raised an eyebrow at that, "I guess the doc was trying to wash it off him you know? Jake is not exactly a pleasant patient to get along with, he might've thought that you are a perfect opportunity to get his hands off Jake..."

Donghae fumed but didn't say anything. When the door opened after about 2 hours, the old man came out looking like he might feint then and there on the floor. Luca looked at him in concern because everywhere in his white coat there were smeared blood marks.

"Dont worry" he said with a small smile, "I put Maranzano under a drug, I thought he might need some time to rest but the thing is" he paused, and looked at Donghae who stared stonnily back at him. "I want you to keep an eye on him 24/7 and to do that," he turned back to Luca, "please move Mr. Maranzano to this boy's room"

Even Luca looked stunned. Donghae couldn't for life figure out why these things kept happening to him,

'Awesome timming too' he thought glumly, 'just great that he hates me now..I might just go and shoot myself without letting him see me the first time he's gonna wake up'

"CONSTANT VIGILANCE!" shouted the old man suddenly, making Donghae jump for the second time, "I need you to report how he is doing, and you should help him anyway you can! Understood?"

"Fine" said Donghae still looking glum while Luca went in with a dozen maids to bring Jake. Surely, Luca is not gonna put Jake in his room is he?! Donghae hoped not, but another part of him desperately DID hope that Jake would end up with him.

"After he wakes up" said the Doctor as both him and Donghae watched Jake being carried out in a stretcher down the corridor. Donghae distictly heard some maids giggling.

"Make sure you clean all those blood smears in his boody, do it with warm water mind you!"

Donghae opened his mouth to yell at this outrage. Apparently this place looked like a palace and it's fuck sure to have a HUGE staff who are EQUALLY capable of attending to his big haeded employer! Why HIM!?

But when he raised his head to tell the bratty old twerp what he actually thought of him, the dude had disappeared already. Shaking his head, in pure disbelief, Donghae headed back to his room to face his unavoidable death.

**************

It was already six in the afternoon and the sky outside had already turned into a beautiful lavender colour. Hyukjae was still unconcious, with his body sprawled on Donghae's bed. A large bloody cotton decorated his left shoulder blade, where it was sealed off with a shinny transparent surgery plaster.

Donghae sat perfectly still at the furthermost corner of the room, looking stonnily at the silhouette of the Jake's figure. Should he turn on the lights? What if he wakes up because of the glare? What if he gets mad??

Donghae pulled his legs up the chair and hugged them to his chest. If there was anyway he could take back what he'd said to Jake, he would trade his own left hand to turn back time and simply stay with his mouth shut at that moment.

Suddenly his phone vibrated and he picked it up warily, it was from an unknown number.

Donghae guessed tha C.N meant Cosa Nostra. Sighing, he deleted the message ignoring the guilt that clawed up his heart. Suddenly he saw Jake stire and he heard him gently wincing in pain. Donghae carefully got up and switched on the dim yellow lights.

"Good, you woke up" he said trying his best to keep the pure relief and equal nervousness off his voice. Jake pulled himself up and leaned against the bed frame. His raven black hair hung around him in wild tangles as he glared back at Donghae.

"Back again are you?" he asked with a sneer and Donghae felt anger boiling inside him.

"For your information I didn't ask for this"

"Then you can fucking leave, the door's right behind you!" counted Jake, his voice rising dangerously.

Donghae came forward, suddenly his mind seemed to have seperated from his body, only the cold annoyance remaind. Why did Jake have to be such a brat?!

He jammed his hand over Jake's mouth, and glared down at him.

"Shut up Hyukjae" he snarled, "just stay quiet till I do what I have been ordered to do from that biggot of a doctor. I wouldn't have given two shits about you if it wasn't for your stupid ass coming to save me!!"

Unlike what Donghae had expected, Hyukjae fell silent as if he was shaken at Donghae's outburst. Donghae carfully backed off and switched the main lights on, making the room flood in a bright yellow light. He took the towel and the water bowl he had heated and came towards Jake.

Hyukjae's eyes followed his every move unblinkingly. Donghae had no idea how sexy he looked, with bloody cuts and all. The dull throb that came from his shoulder eased as he watched Donghae carefully place the hot water on the bed stand. He watched as Donghae stare uncertainly back at him, and Jake knew Donghae was struggling with a way to approach him.

Jake did nothing to help him, he only stared stonnily at Donghae, watching him cringe as he decieded how to talk with him.

No Donghae, I'm not giving you a fucking chance...

"The doctor said that I should...that I should-" faltered Donghae and Jake had to bite his tongue to hold himself from smilling.

"Don't you dare touch me" growled Hyukjae and Donghae just ignored him.

Jake watched as Donghae wring the wet towel and gently place it on his chest. It felt amazingly warm and comfortable but Hyukjae winced just to annoy him.

Donghae went on gently cleaning his chest and Hyukjae felt his nipples get hardened. Donghae looked so sinful under the yellow light that it made his body crave with desire. He couldn't take his eyes off him.

Donghae averted his eyes, he couldn't bear being this close with Jake, his heart pulsed violently inside his chest as he slid the towel across Jake's abs; but from the corner of his eyes, Donghae knew that Hyukjae's eyes never left him even for a second. It was driving him crazy.

Finally Donghae heard Jake sigh and after a heartbeat, he felt Jake's rough hand press over his own, stopping his hand on mid stroke,

It felt as if someone knocked the wind out from him. Donghae gasped.

"You still do that" whispered Jake's bewildered voice,"that's enough"

He felt Hyukjae push his hand away, and Donghae gulped. His heart was positively hammerimg inside him now...

"Leave me" said Jake tiredly and Donghae stood up without arguing.

"Jake I'm supposed to check on you" he said in a worried voice.

Hyukjae snorted, "I think you had enough time for it, unless you want more?" he asked raising an eyebrow suggestively.

Donghae looked back at him, and went thundering towards the door, before he opened the door, Donghae turned back and stared hard at Jake, "I know I told you to brake up with me and I know you didn't give a shit about me Lee Hyukjae" said Donghae, his voice sounding dangerously edgy, "but you are such an asshole! And I fucking hate you!"

Donghae banged the door open and turned to leave him without a backwards glance...
