Chapter 3
Let's not love again“Wookie ah.... Wookie ah.... Wake up....”
Ryeowook was awoken by someone shaking him at the shoulder, he peeled open his eyes lazily to see an oddly familiar woman in front of him.
“Hurry, wake up! You will be late!”
Ryeowook sprang up from bed and shouted “Omma! Why are you here? Am I dead? Where is Kyu?”
His mother frowned at him and put a hand on his forehead, “Are you sick? What are you talking? No fever....”
“Omma, seriously... why do you look so young? Didn't you....” Ryeowook stuttered as he remember that his mother passed away 2 years ago of cancer.
The middle aged woman hit Ryeowook on the back of his head lightly, “Stop pretending. You still have to go to school. Hurry! Your appa and I will go to the stall now.”
What? School?
Ryeowook watched his mother leave his room. He just realised that he is in his own room when he was still a student.
“Where am I? How is it possible that I am here? This house was supposed to be demolished... Impossible...” He looked at his hands and realise that it is no longer wrinkled and rough. Unable to believe, he ran to the full length mirror behind the wardrobe doors to look at himself.
“Impossible....” He exclaimed.
Ryeowook looked the way when he was 18, the cute and sweet looking teenager. He facepalmed himself, his skin is soft and smooth. He scrambled out of his room in a hurry to search for the calendar hanging in the kitchen.
14 April 1986
“MWO!!!!” Ryeowook's legs turned wobbly and gave way. He fell to the ground with an expression of disbelief.
“I... travelled time? Kim Ryeowook... Calm down. Relax... Recall...What happened.” He closed his eyes to recall the night. He saw Kyuhyun cheating on him, he left and took the elevator, Kyuhyun chased and joined him. Then the elevator fell and here he is, 30 years back in time.
“So if I travelled time.... Then Kyuhyun who was in the elevator with me.... Where did he go? Is he alright?” He asked himself.
Determined to find out more, Ryeowook ran out of the house to where Kyuhyun used to live when he moved to Seoul with his parents. It is 2 streets away from Ryeowook's. As he ran to it, he passed the shop houses and stalls which he missed so much. The development of Seoul over the past 30 years have changed his old neighbourhood so much that it is nothing like what it used to be. To be able to see this place one more time, Ryeowook is thankful for that.
Finally, he reached Kyuhyun's home, the place he was once so familiar with. There are trucks of furniture outside the house and it seems that his family are just moving in today.
'Kyuhyun ah... where are you...'
Ryeowook looked around frantically.
“Ryeowook ah!!!” A voice called him from behind.
The petite boy turned around to see a panting teenage Kyuhyun, exactly the way he first saw him 30 years ago.
Kyuhyun dashed to his husband and pulled him into his arms for a tight hug.
“I was worried sick. Thank goodness you are fine...”
Ryeowook automatically hugged him back. They stayed still for a moment until they remembered that they were just in the argument of divorce before the travelled time.
They pushed each other away and looked at each oth
