Spring*

Our Winter Ballad

Opening my eyes, I could feel the sun as I was irritating the out of me and with only a small part of my face being covered by Sub’s head I had no choice but to get up. Moving him so that he was laying on the ground, I put the blanket over him as I sat up causing me to feel dizzy as everything seemed to be spinning for a moment. Waiting as I let myself calm down, I finally stood and looking over at the other two I could only laugh because they were sleeping in the most uncomfortable position ever. Grabbing my phone, I began taking a few photos just in case I need to use it for blackmail later on.  

Making my way towards the bathroom, I cracked almost every bone in my body as my back was killing me from sleeping on the cold hardwood floor, and Sub wasn’t even helping as he used me as his bed. Shaking my head, I did my business as I cleaned my face and washed up seeing as how I had a session with some artist looking for a song for their comeback. I swear somebody always wants something from me. Going into my room, I changed into something appropriate but comfortable and grabbing everything else I left out making sure to text Sub so that when he woke up he knew I didn’t just run off; like I could, but it’s the thought that counts.  

The drive wasn’t long as I had gone to my other studio seeing as how the company was letting everyone take a small “break”, and I want going to bring them over to Kwang's or My house; so, I had to bust open the old studio. I actually haven’t been there in like 6 months, but I know its clean and everything works…maids. Arriving, I looked at the time as I was at least 30 minutes early so going inside I began looking for finished pieces that I haven’t sold off yet for the copyright, or ones that were copyrighted but not completely finished.  

“Hello?” Turning around, I had a folder stuck in my mouth and to say it fell to the ground and scattered everywhere. 

Ilhoon? I am supposed to be expecting someone important, so if you can come back later…” He cut me off as he took a seat at the table and shrugging I took the seat across from him. 

“I need to ask you a favor.” I closed my eyes for a good minute before opening them as I shook my head, because I was already in enough . “Why are you saying no? You don’t even know what I was going to say.”  

“First, stop whining; Second, I’m already in enough trouble because you convinced me to drag them to the family reunion, and that turned out horrible. I’m done listening to your horrible ideas. Also, if you want to talk don’t play with my time and money.” Standing once more, I picked up the folder as I put it back in its original spot as I needed everything in perfect order.  

“If you want I’ll pay for your ing time, but I need you to listen to me, okay?” I knew he was practically begging me so I gave in; I swear I’ve become soft over the years. 

“Fine! What do you want?” Taking the same seat, I tapped my fingers against the table as I waited on him to speak.  

“Get married in a week.” I looked at him as if he was crazy because, yeah, we had everything, but that didn’t mean that we were just going to jump up and marry.  

“What the hell are you on? I’m not going t to get married in a week. We’ve had this planned out for a few years now and everything is in perfect order.” He sighed loud and hard causing me hit the back of my neck because he was going to be the death of me. 

“I'm not on anything. I really need this to happen in a week, but I’ll give you two if you need it. This is for everyone’s sake, so please!” Shaking my head repeatedly, I just couldn’t understand. 

“Why does it need to be in a week or two? Why don’t you worry about Leo and your divorce? Huh? What do you get by sticking your nose in other people’s lives?” He suddenly became really serious and I didn’t really care but he had answers to questions that I need. 

“I'm just trying to be helpful, but nobody appreciates my effort. I care about Hyung a lot, and you guys too, but everyone else is becoming worried about you guys. So, just get it over with? Plus, I’m trying not to worry about Leo at the moment, because for now we are fine and there might not be a divorce anymore.” Rolling my eyes, I could only shake my head because he was making it all about him and his problems. 

Standing, I continued to shake my head ignoring him as he spoke; and walking over to him, I grabbed his arm to pull him up but he was a lot stronger than I last remembered. Pulling a few times, he held onto the chair as if he was a little kid and getting fed up I pulled really hard one last time but instead we both we flying towards the ground. His chair ended up tipping backwards causing me to fall forward and land on top of him. Moving my head as his mouth was wide open from screaming and mines was semi-open, I didn’t want us to end up kissing because it was already uncomfortable enough and that would have made it worse. We were stuck staring at one another for a while causing us both to miss the door opening as Sub happened to walk in. 

“What the hell is this?!” Jumping up, I looked back as I was more than a little shocked and as I was trying to explain the words wouldn’t come out causing me to look like even more of an idiot. 

No, it's-wait! Let me-wait no—yes, I mean no…” I gave up after a while waiting on him to hit me so that I could get my head on straight but he didn’t move from his spot in the doorway. 

“Look! I fell and he was trying to help me, and he ended up falling too. Don’t get the wrong idea, okay?” Looking over at Ilhoon, I nodded going along with his story and as he stood I did also causing us both to stare at him as we waited for him to say something. 

“Okay.” I flinched thinking that he was finally going to do it, but when he said ‘okay’ I looked at him wide-eyed because he never just said ‘okay’. 

“Huh?” He sat down two cups of coffee causing me to furrow my brows because I should have noticed earlier, but man was I an idiot.  

“Well, I’m going to leave, now; and Hyunsik think about what I said, okay?” I never got a chance to answer as he ran out of her at an amazing speed leaving only Sub and I. 

A throat clenching silence fell upon us causing my throat to go dry but I wasn’t going to reach for the drink because he might snap on me, which I didn’t want nor need, so I opted for swallowing my spit. He finally looked at me and with a simple hand gesture he motioned for me to take the seat next to him, so doing just that I sat down trying to be sure that the chair didn’t tip over again. My fist had clenched up unconsciously as I was dying trying to figure out what he was going to do, and when he suddenly laid his head on my shoulder I let out a breath I didn’t even know I was holding. 

“What’s wrong with you? Why so tense?” Shrugging, I began chuckling nervously and as his hands played with mine I couldn’t help this weird feeling I was having. 

“Who are you and what did you do with my Sub?” He began laughing like a maniac causing me to relax a little bit because nothing was as scary as him being quiet. 

“I’m not mad, just a little surprise but I know you’re faithful and if you were going to cheat you wouldn’t do it with that brat of a cousin.” Nodding in agreement, I looked at the time to see that we should probably head back to the house seeing as how I had nothing better to do. 

“True. So, do you want to go back to the house or go do something?” Looking down at him, he seemed as if he was moving to stand so titling my head in the other direction I let him sit up fully as he looked at me with this strange look. 

“Where you not listening to anything I said yesterday? Or you said for a matter of fact?” Blinking slowly, I thought on it for a moment before shaking my head because I must have been really drunk not to remember anything either of us said. 

“Sorry, I must have been really drunk; but, please, inform me of our plans for today.” He made this face causing me to laugh as I stood making sure to grab everything that I brought with me. 

“Ring shopping. We already have our wedding photos done and over with, along with everything else so we just need the rings. Plus, you were the one that said that we needed to get married within a week because you couldn’t wait to make me Mr. Lim Hyunsik. So, before you past out you called all of the venders telling them that the wedding was going to be held next week on Thursday.” I froze as I realized that Ilhoon must have been planning this for a long time that it ingrained in my brain so that I could say it in a drunken state. 

“I did? I did! But, why Thursday?” Walking towards him, he grabbed my hand and I allowed him as he dragged me out after I lock up. 

“Are you really that forgetful? I swear, Hyunsik. Thursday is the anniversary of the first day we met, making it 12 years since we’ve been by each other’s side. So, you said that you wanted to make it even more special.” He was smiling widely and everything that I wanted to say totally went out of the window as I just nodded not even caring about what I said to Ilhoon a moment ago. 

Getting in the car, I looked at my hand to see the place where the ring was supposed to long been sitting but now as I look at it I just feel weird. Shaking my head, I pulled out of the parking lot as I let the radio fill in the silence that had fallen over us. When we arrived, he held my arm as his face was just glowing but I couldn’t say the same for myself; which I couldn’t understand at all.  

“How may I—Hyunsik? Chang sub? How is everything going?” Looking at the voice I was surprised to see one of Eun’s exes as he had a huge smile on his face. 

“Good. How is your life? I see that you didn’t pursue your dreams.” I was trying my hardest to make it sound as if it wasn’t pity but at least he looked brighter than before. 

“Yeah, I realized that making it big wasn’t for me; but, business is great and I get a lot of celebrities like yourself. So, what can I do for you guys?” Smiling, I looked at the case of rings as they sat in front of us. 

“Ring shopping.” Sub took over on speaking as he let me go to lean on the counter as he took his time chatting the guy up. 

They talked for a good minute allowing me to look everything over before I picked out two rings that looked amazing, and for the first time since he mentioned this I was extremely happy. Maybe it was the fact that he was going to be fully mine, or the fact that we were getting this over with? But whatever it may be, I didn’t care anymore. 

“We’ll take these two.” Pointing at the ones I wanted, he nodded before going on about what he was supposed to say causing me to sigh a little bit because I’ve heard the talk the three other times I came in here before leaving. Well not this exact place, but whatever. 

“Here you go. I added a little something extra as we have history together; also, thanks for everything you did for me back then, Hyunsik.” Nodding, I waved it off as I took the bag before leaving causing Sub to look at me with this strange look.  

Getting back into the car, I placed the bag onto the back seat before turning back around only to catch the same look as I made my way forward. What did I do now? That was the only thing I could think as he didn’t change his face from the moment we left till now. 

“Your face will get stuck like that if you keep it up. So, spit it out or swallow it.” I began driving towards Eun's as I should grab my things so that I can go back to my home. 

“What did you do for him?” Oohing, I chuckled as we pulled up to a red light allowing me to glance over at him.  

“I gave him some advice.” He nodded waiting for me to continue and I couldn’t help but laugh as the light had turned green. “He came saying that he wasn’t sure anymore so I told him to end it, because he was already hurting Eun enough as it was. I don’t know his reasoning for wanting to date him, nor do I know what he said when they broke up. I gave him a few words and he ran all over Korea with it.”  

Mhm. Well, it’s already done with so it shouldn’t matter anymore, right? Right! Now, I wanted to change the venue as I was thinking we could go for a black and white themes wedding, and not just the…” He began rambling causing me to sigh quietly because I was a horrible person.  

When we arrived, he was still talking and as I told him to do whatever he wanted to all talking seized causing me to look back as he was angry once more. I gave him a smile but I quickly wiped it off as he walked past me and straight towards Eunkwang’s apartment. Running to catch up with him, he opened the door and as I was expecting him to close it in my face but instead he left it open causing me to stop right behind him as we watched two strange people as they were acting weird. 

“What the hell are you guys doing?” The words slipped out as I was meaning to keep them to myself but as they both turned around surprised I could only shake my head because today just wasn’t my day. 

Warming up so that we can rehearse.” I put my hand up stopping them from saying anything else as I walked into my room so that I could gather my things.  

They continued being weird as I gathered my things and once I was finished I closed the door behind me before taking a seat on the couch as I watched alongside Changsub as they said that they were going to act out a scene for us.  

“How long have you guys been practicing today?” Sub asked causing Jackson to start calculating everything and in my head, I couldn’t help but say that they were perfect for one another. 

“4 hours, with a few breaks to warm up for each scene that had a different tone to it.” Nodding, I let them go on as we watched and I couldn’t help but laugh because they weren’t serious at all; it seemed as if I was watching little kids play around.  

“You guys need to watch a few movies or a documentary before trying this again. It doesn’t seem like you are serious at all, and I don’t want you guys getting hurt because you weren’t practicing right. We’re leaving, so get it together. Fighting!” Taking sub’s hand, I dragged him out of the door and into the car as we had a lot of catching up to do. 

After they left running out of the door, I looked at Jackson before nodding as I told him to take the TV as he could connect his phone to it, and making my way into my room I sat at my computer desk opening my forever dusty laptop. Seeing as how I’m always busy with something I never use it, but I guess I will now. Hearing noise from the living room, I plug in my headphones as I searched for stuff pertaining to this subject and as over a 100, 000 videos popped up I knew it was going to be a long night. It was always a long night.
