med student Chay and cold and abrasive neighbor Kim who somehow has more injuries every time Chay sees him, that Chay is always insisting on patching up while Kim sits there scowling and either staring at him, or pointedly ignoring him

Chay doesn't have a crush on him. really, he doesn't. he just. looks for him, every time he comes and goes from his apartment, eyes scanning the hallway, lobby, elevator. whenever he doesn't see him for a few days, and then when he sees him again, his heart rate picks up
and he has to take deep breaths to pull himself together and not be Weird about it. he doesn't have a crush on Kim. they barely even talk, when they do see each other. Chay just quietly frets over him and drags him into his own apartment and sits him down on the
toilet lid while he pulls out his first aid kit and sets to work. this situation has happened about a dozen times so far, and the only words Kim has said are his name, "you're relentless" "im fine" "it's not as bad as it looks" and "it's late, you should be sleeping"
before shoving the takeout bag he had been carrying into chays hands and limping out of chays apartment and back into the night.
so. their interactions are limited, and they aren't even friends, and Chay is pretty sure Kim hates him a little for being so nosy and invasive
so. their interactions are limited, and they aren't even friends, and Chay is pretty sure Kim hates him a little for being so nosy and invasive
(brb drs appointment )
so maybe it's been a little while since they saw each other. Chay is busy with med school and isn't really home all that much, and Kim is basically a cryptid, showing up and then disappearing, impossible to predict
but Chay comes home one day and finds Kim sitting on the floor outside his door, leaning against the wall and on the verge of passing out, leaving smudges of blood and dirt on the off-white paint
and Chay is a little pissed because why the fuck is Kim sitting here waiting for /him/ instead of going to a hospital!? who knows how long he's been sitting here! what if Chay hadn't come back when he did? Chay is maybe being a little too harsh with his scoldings, but he's Upset!
and Kim just smiles at him. it's the first time Chay has seen him smile, and his teeth are a little stained with blood which should be gross, but. he has a really pretty smile even like this, and he mutters something that sounds a little like
"wanted it to be you" and chays not really sure what that's supposed to mean, but the anger bleeds out of him anyway
Chay unlocks his door, and he pretty much has to carry Kim inside bc he almost collapses the moment chay pulls him to his feet. but he gets him inside and onto chays bed, a towel laid out to protect his bedding from the blood
there's.. definitely more blood than usual. until now, Chay hasn't asked Kim. his own brother used to do underground fighting, so, Chay had suspected Kim was the same. but, one of kims injuries this time looks like a knife wound, and even illegal fights have rules
hes trying to figure out how to ask Kim what it is that he's been doing, who it is who's been hurting him, but by the time he finishes treating the wound and looks up at Kim's face, the other man has fallen asleep
Chay washes up for bed, and then lingers again in the bedroom for a little while, watching Kim. he knows he's being a little creepy, but theres a pretty man covered in blood and bruises sleeping in his bed, so can you really blame him for looking?
Kim's face looks a lot softer in sleep. the cold scowl is gone, and he looks.. young and gentle, and a little sad. and he's so pretty even with the bruise blooming on his cheek and the split lip.
eventually, Chay heads out to the living room and lays on the couch to sleep

Kim is gone when he wakes.
he doesn't see him again for a while.

Kim is screwed.
he was screwed from the first time his bright and sunny neighbor dragged him by the wrist into his apartment and spent the next 20 minutes fretting over kims injuries and patching them up.

this same thing happened repeatedly over the next few months, and. yeah. Kim is screwed.
Chay is like.. the first warm and sunny day after the rainy season, when the flowers start to bloom again

usually when Kim gets hurt, he limps home and does his best to treat the worst of the injuries and then pass out in bed, or on the floor if he doesn't quite make it there, in hopes that he'll just sleep it off.
but lately, when he gets hurt, he finds himself thinking of Chay, and of his gentle hands, and his soft voice while he scolds Kim for being careless or stupid, and tells him to take better care of himself, and asks him if it hurts and...
he finds himself thinking about chay a lot.
he could blame it on the fact that he's been getting hurt more often — he's getting close to finally taking down his father's crime syndicate, but that means it's getting more dangerous, too — he could blame it on the fact that, well, it's natural to think about
about the person he's hoping will be around to patch him up afterward.
but he knows it's more than that too.
he starts looking forward to seeing Chay, and he knows it's fucked up, but he stops trying so hard to avoid hits, because he wants Chay to take care of him
but he knows it's more than that too.

no one has ever taken care of him like Chay does, and he's greedy and desperate for every crumb of tenderness Chay offers him
#kimchay
and then he gets a little ambushed one day, and it's fine, he's got it handled, but he took a lot of hits, and a knife to his side, and it's not deep enough to be dangerous, but it's enough to hurt and bleed. and it's the first time that he seeks out chay

the first time he's the one to go up to chays door, instead of letting Chay intercept him in the hallway. but there's no answer when he knocks, and he kind of just. slumps to the floor.
hes not sure how long he sits there, but his vision is a little splotchy

and it's getting harder to stay awake. and he feels a little delirious when Chay finally shows up. he's so relieved to see him that he barely even hears what chay is saying, barely even registers the anger in his voice, and he just smiles.

he doesn't remember much after that. but he wakes up in chays bed eventually, and it's early enough that it's still dark but, it's morning, and he slept through the night in chays bedroom, and Chay is asleep on the couch when Kim drags himself out into the living room

he doesn't trust people, and he doesn't care about people, and he doesn't.. fall for people. but somehow, Chay has broken down his walls

he can only avoid him for so long. the day he takes down his father’s right hand man... he's lost some blood, and he might have a concussion, and he's too focused on getting home and hiding in the dark where no one can touch him for while

hes back on the toilet lid in chays bathroom now, stripped down to just his boxers, while Chay rummages through his first aid kit, eyes flicking over Kim every few seconds
"were you trying to sneak past me again?" he asks, not looking at kims face.

Hes startled awake abruptly when Chay returns. He's carrying a lot, and stumbles a bit in the entryway, something clattering to the floor. Kim's eyes fly open at the noise, and he's stumbling to his feet in an instant, wincing and falling back onto the couch
