Mr. Talkative

Cry Out With My Heart and Soul

"Stop the car!" Yesung said hurriedly.

"Wha…? What?! What is it?!" My confusion turned to panic as my foot hit the brakes.

"Look at that sunset!! Would you mind if we take some pictures?" Yesung was already moving, grabbing an expensive-looking camera from his bag and running of the car towards the beach.

"Do I have a choice?" I muttered under my breath. I quickly got out of the car and ran up behind Yesung, catching up with him and slowing to his jog. Ewok came sloppily running after us and head-butted the back of my ankles as we stopped. I turned, then picked him up. Wookie began me again and I laughed at how his tongue felt against my forearm. Yesung ignored us and I watched as he adjusted settings on the camera. He seemed like a whole different person when he had his mouth closed. He seemed so…focused. I couldn't take my eyes off of him.

Yesung took a few pictures and then hesitantly asked, "So… is it alright if I ask you to model for me?"

"Sure. I don't see why not. We're here anyway, aren't we?" Yesung smiled and led me to a spot on the sand. I became his Barbie doll as he adjusted my stance and moved my head in such slight movements that I didn't think they would make a difference. Every time his skin touched my own, my heart did some sort of flip-flop. He went back and forth between his camera and me until the sun went down and we went back to the car just in time for me to get a phone call from Henry.

My heart sank. He had broken up with me that afternoon, which was why I was in such a bad mood in the first place. Why was he calling me if he was the one that dumped me? I bit my bottom lip as I ignored the call. "You didn't answer?"

"I'm not in the mood to talk to him."

"Is he why you're in a bad mood?"

"…Yeah."

"You wanna talk about it?"

I sighed. "Maybe some other time."

Yesung left me to my thoughts, then. I wished he would talk so I wouldn't have to think about this…

"What time is it?"

"I don't know; check my phone." I was so glad for the interruption. It seemed Yesung could only not talk when he was holding a camera. The silence had been too much for the poor guy.

"It's…8:20."

"Damn. How far are we from civilization?"

Yesung tried to unlock my phone, but then encountered the passcode. He held out my phone so I could type it in, but I always hated doing anything with my hands while driving… save eating my lollipop, which I'd regrettably thrown away when I had first gotten mad at Yesung. "3825." I said and he typed it in. He pulled up 'Maps' and then dragged the screen up.

"Looks like about 12 miles."

"That's not too bad. Hopefully there's at least a Motel in that area."

I sensed Yesung watching me. "What?" I asked.

"Why were you driving out here if you didn't have an original destination?"

I sighed. "Sometimes, when you get…" I felt a lump in my throat. "Well, sometimes you just drive to drive, I guess." I swallowed the lump, eyes never leaving the road.

"So you just…head out with no sense of direction? Where you're going? When you'll be home? Do you even tell anyone?"

"I know it's a bad habit, but it's just…something I do."

"What if you got lost? If no one even knew you were gone, how are you supposed to get found?"

"That, my friend, is why I have that handy little app you were just using."

"What if you have no service?"

"Then I'd ask someone in whatever town I'm in to tell me whatever town I'm in."

"And if you break down in the middle of the road?"

"I'm always prepared for that kind of thing."

"And if you run out of gas?"

"Got a few tanks in the back."

"Battery dies?"

I glanced over at Yesung. "Are you just asking questions to get me to talk or do you legitimately think every battery just dies on a random stretch of road?"

"I'm just asking what you would do if that happened."

"Well first, I would kind of know if my battery is dying and have it fixed. Second, even if I didn't, I've got a perfectly good set of legs for walking."

"What if you're miles away from civilization?"

"What? You mean like 12 miles? It's not that far; I could run it."

"What if that happened here?"

"You saying it will? Because my battery isn't low."

"Well what if it did?"

"I told you: I've got a perfectly good set of legs for walking."

"What if-"

"Let's stop playing the 'what if' game, okay?" I sighed again and tightened my grip on the steering wheel. I didn't have a low battery, right? No; I had my car taken in for inspection last month and they replaced my battery then. I was fine. "Dammit, now I'm expecting everything to happen!"

Yesung laughed. "Sorry." I looked over and smiled at him, twisted in his seat to look at me, just like a little kid. We again went back to being silent. Then, finally, "I'm glad you were driving, though, even if you don't like the reason behind it." His eyes carefully met mine, like mentioning me 'driving to drive' meant I was going to burst into tears.

"I'm glad I was, too." I smiled at him and patted his hand, which rested on the storage compartment that sat in between us.

Chapter 25: With all the roller-coaster emotions in the entire story the ending was pretty perfect. I liked it that Yewook just had a wonderful, relaxing day and could looking forward to a future together where they will be at each other's side, loving and supporting each other. They fought long and Wookie deserves a partner who treasures him with all he has to give. A beautiful ending. Thank you for sharing and keeping this story here for so long ❤️❤️

Chapter 24: I'm confused about Henry now. I mean I'm glad he's finally ready to let Wookie go, but if he wanted him to be happy why he didn't let him go way sooner? With all his psycho acts and maniac behavior, it comes to his mind that he only wants Wookie to be happy, now? This guy is insane. I'm happy Wookie is free for Yesung now, but I really wanted Henry to regret what he did to him and almost destroyed him. If Henry didn't get a proper punishment then he should give Ryeowook a proper apologize. Wookie deserves it. At least this nightmare will be over and we know Yeye will treat Ryeonggu way better than Henry ever did. Thank you for sharing this ❤️

Chapter 23: I was really hoping for Wookie to open up to Yesung about his true feelings himself. But obviously Yeye was fed up of waiting and thought now or never. But it's sad that Henry already destroyed Wookie self confidence that much, that he never imagined he himself could have a chance with Yesung and is the person of his heart. Wookie needs someone who will shower him with love and Yesung is just perfect for this. Thank you for writing ❤️

Chapter 22: Poor Wookie. Get well soon and then tell Yeye about all your feelings inside. This kind of horror ride must end so Wookie can live his life happy and with people around who will do good to him. Thanks again ❤️

Chapter 21: I can imagine that this is how Wookie must feel inside. Running out of battery. Totally exhausted and his entire world falling down. Hope he will feel better soon, and with Henry staying away from him. Thank you ❤️

Chapter 20: A pity Wookie gives up that easy. He should go out and fight for Yesung. It's sad he has so low self confidence, but I blame Henry for this. Anyway, thank you for this ❤️

Chapter 19: Oh Wookie, stop being a coward and open up to Yeye. Maybe you will get a nice surprise He never imagined why Yesung gave him his number? Or why Sungie was searching for him during the months? There is a reason, Wookie. You just need to listen. Thank you as always ❤️

Chapter 18: Henry is a psycho. Wookie should call the police and close the chapter of his past with him. Yesung is in so much ways on a different level than that jerk. Think wise Wookie. Thank you for sharing ❤️

Chapter 17: Great, Henry is going to ruin the mood again >_>
I was about to say what a lucky child Wookie is because getting his car fixed for free. But obviously he needs such good moments in life, because in a blink of an eye Henry is back to destroy everything. It's time for Wookie to cut the lines with him. Thank you again ❤️

Chapter 16: I can't understand why, Wookie is doing this to himself. This wasn't the first time Henry treated him like but he wanted to be back to this jerk just because he wanted to forget about Yesung. Worse forget Yesung so the older wouldn't get hurt anymore. Wookie definitely needs help to get away from this toxic person. And goddammit Henry needs to get punished for all his wrong doings in the past. Hope Wookie finally can realize that Yesung can be a, safe place, a safe home for him. Thank you for this longer chapter ❤️
