Chapter Text
5 days. 5 days of Eggchan being sick. 5 days of Eggchan on the hospital bed with a sickness. An unknown sickness that couldn’t be cured or hasn’t found the cure to, and Wemmbu? He was worried. Every single day he’ll visit Eggchan making sure he hasn’t died, bringing food and presents to him too.
…
Today.. Today was a normal day, like normal, visiting Egg after school. Wemmbu brought homemade food for Egg, even though he couldn’t cook but he’s still trying to learn so he can take care of the seraphim until he’s better. Wemmbu arrived at the hospital entrance, walking down the halls, excited to see his best friend that might have been waiting for him. Nurses greeted him as he walked past them. Wemmbu has been a frequent visitor at this hospital ever since Eggchan was sick.
Wemmbu opened Eggchan’s hospital dorm room, the seraphim was just lying on the hospital bed, staring at the ceiling with a bored expression as he turned to look at Wemmbu who was standing by the hospital door, his expression lighting up.
“Oh, hi Wemmbu!” The seraphim greeted the demon with excitement in his voice, Wemmbu walked into the room as he sat on a nearby chair that is next to his best friend's hospital bed.
“Hey Egg, how are you feeling today?” Wemmbu asked Eggchan, trying to sound casual but still had a hint of worry in his voice.
“Me? Oh, I’m feeling uhh..kinda bad and sick.. like very sick..” Eggchan replied back and Wemmbu could notice how weak Eggchan sounds.
“Really?.. that’s.. bad, have you told the nurses or doctors about it?..” Wemmbu asked again with genuine concern in his voice.. Wemmbu wasn’t really good with words nor comforting but he was trying to learn how to.
“Yeah, I did. They gave me medicine and told me to inform one of them if I started to feel worse.” Eggchan spoke nonchalantly and casually.
Wemmbu doesn’t quite understand how Eggchan manages to sound so nonchalant in situations like this, but honestly? Wemmbu doesn’t really mind at all as long as the seraphim is alive.
…
Wemmbu and Eggchan talked for a while, random things that happened at school, Wemmbu childhood stories like how he tricked the entire kindergarten kids into believing that pickles can make you grow taller and it went on for like 2 weeks until the kids found out and cried. (Wemmbu was in middle school at that time.) Eggchan’s favorite book and its plot.. (Wemmbu didn’t really pay attention since he was zoning out.) Wemmbu was thinking about something and then he suddenly remembered the homemade food he brought for Egg.
“Hey Egg! I brought you some food! Homemade food by me!” Wemmbu exclaimed happily, hoping that Eggchan would enjoy it.
“Homemade food? By you? Yoo bro, since when are you Gordan Ramsey now?” Eggchan said half-jokingly and maybe half-surprised.
“Take a look at my cooking, it’s good!.. I think..” Wemmbu was thrilled for his best friend to see his ‘Wonderful’ cooking, Wemmbu gave Eggchan a lunchbox that is packed neatly.
“Alright alright, let me see.” Eggchan took the lunchbox from Wemmbu’s hand as he opened it gently, the smell of the food hitting his nose immediately.
“Hey, but don’t judge my cooking! I’m not good at cooking, you know?..”
Wemmbu made waffles that were kinda burnt with a small packet of maple syrup and another container that had strawberries in it.. and a plastic fork. It looked kinda delicious.
“Bro, why are the waffles edges.. burnt?..” Eggchan snorted, trying to suppress his laughter. Eggchan glanced at the waffles again, staring at the burnt edges. Wemmbu looked almost offended, he glanced at Eggchan who was trying not to laugh at his cooking. Wemmbu placed his hand right where his heart was, clutching his clothes.
“Hey! My cooking is good! This is my first time cooking! Don't judge it!” Wemmbu said jokingly as he huffed, crossing his arms. “Then why don’t you cook, hm?” Wemmbu challenged his friend.
“Bro, I always cook for you, I’m your roommate too, remember?” Eggchan reminded him, giggling as he opened the maple syrup, pouring it on the waffles. He picked up one of the waffles, the plastic fork that was in the container. The seraphim took a small bite, the taste of waffle and maple syrup hit his tongue. Eggchan raised an eyebrow, opening his mouth to speak.
“This is.. surprisingly good for someone who hasn’t cooked in his entire life.” Eggchan spoke up, chewing the waffles slowly in his mouth. Wemmbu grinned, looking at his best friend who was savouring the waffles with maple syrup.
“See? I'm a professional at cooking!” Wemmbu exclaimed jokingly, still looking at Eggchan. The seraphim rolled his eyes, taking another bite of the waffles and chewing it.
“Whatever you say, bro. We both know that I'm better at cooking.” Eggchan teased him playfully, giggling. Knowing that he doesn't have much time left. Knowing that his sickness would only worsen every day. Knowing that he'll spend his life in this hospital 24/7.
...
Eggchan was just yapping about a book that he was currently reading. This time, Wemmbu was actually paying attention. That was something quite rare for him since he wasn't a big fan of books nor listening to people talking about books, but this book seems to quite catch his attention.
“So, there is that book that I'm currently reading! Called ‘Loose Guide on how to Visit the Beach.’ I kinda like the plot of this book. It's basically about two best friends, one has a sickness and needed to stay in the hospital, but they wanted to go to the beach, so the other friend decided to secretly sneak him out of the hospital just to visit the beach and then..”
As Eggchan yapped about the book, Wemmbu couldn't help but feel something.. As if it had happened before.. Like.. Deja Vu? It feels quite similar to Eggchan and his situation right now.
...
It was nice knowing his best friend's liking and hobby.
