Chapter 39
우린 용원히 (My Forever)
Woohyun is just wandering around about some things on their balcony, thinking about how things were before. He closed his eyes and imagined that this is not the house he grew up with. He lives in this house ever since he was born but this is not the same house who witnessed the hardships his family went through, not at least the same interior that conceals what they’ve been through from then to now.
“This house did improve a lot” He smiled as he ducked his head low, while having a tight grip on the railing.
He still hasn’t went to bed since last night. Perhaps wanting his time alone. He is still wondering about your kiss last night and your reaction when he kissed you.
Is he that aggressive to kiss you without a warning?
Is he going to be rejected?
Do you like him too?
And last but not the least, Why did you kiss him back? Does that mean you are returning his feelings like what he wanted?
He growled in frustration. There are so many things in his mind right now and he knows that sleep won’t be the answer to his question. Yet, the hint of the sun and shades of the exquisite brightness of orange and pink is telling him not to go to bed until he gets the answer to his question.
It wasn’t long till he decided. No. He would not go to bed. Not until the he gets the answer to his questions.
“Can you tell me what bothers you, NamU?” Sunggyu raised his eyebrow as he reclined his side on the door that leads to the terrace.
Woohyun’s head perked up and looked at Sunggyu. The only answer he gave Sunggyu is a smile.
“You know I’ve been awake for like an hour and I supposed you haven’t slept since last night. I’m sorry about your mom” Sunggyu walk towards his side and eyed the fields welcoming him after a series of cold but fresh air.
“It’s all right. I guess I’ve accepted the fact that she’s going to die after the doctor had said that she has a terminal cancer. It’s just that, yet it is still different knowing the fact that she’s really gone” Woohyun shrugged.
Sunggyu looked at him then broke into laughters. Woohyun scowled at him and said, “Why are you laughing at me?”.
But Sunggyu didn’t answer him. Instead, He keeps going on with the hearty chuckles and it made Woohyun impatient.
“YAH!!!!”
Sunggyu let himself calm down before he said a thing, “I’m sorry… It’s just that it’s kinda ironic how the fact that you were more bothered because of Wonhee shows up. Dude! You may deny it a thousand of times but I know that you can’t keep your mind off of her”
Woohyun looked away awkwardly, “Pssssh! No, I’m not. She’s just.. Our..”. He gulped, “Our assistant. That’s all”.
“More like your assistant. It’s like she was hired just for you. I barely see her and ask her about some things because you want her to be you, each and every second” Sunggyu corrected.
Woohyun glared at Sunggyu. But Sunggyu just gave him the Told-you-I’m-right look.
“WHOA! WHOA! WHOA! Why do I see Bacon, Omelet, Ham and some toasted bread on the table? Are we up for some American breakfast” Dongwoo’s voice resonated the room.
The two looked at Dongwoo then Sunggyu left Woohyun at the balcony. Woohyun looked again at the view and pushed himself off the hard railing to join the others inside.
“Where are the others?” Woohyun asked
“Myungsoo’s still asleep, Hoya’s checking up on Dahae and Sungjong.. Probably strangling Sunggyu Jr. once again” Dongwoo said as he popped a strip of bacon on his mouth.
Sunggyu’s eyes squinted when he heard about Sungjong, “He brought his rubbish doll on his way here?”
Dongwoo shrugged coolly, “What can we do? Smacking and strangling you, can’t be left out of his daily routine”.
Sunggyu scoffed at him which made Woohyun chuckle, “Poor gyu-zizi”. Then Woohyun high-fived Dongwoo, which was also followed by mocking laughters.
Sunggyu shook his head in annoyance *Childish Imbeciles*
All of you were now eating your breakfast and yet an awkward, eerie silence encircles all of you. At least you and Woohyun.
You just fiddled with your spoon and took secret glances at Woohyun, who is busy eating his meal like nothing happened.
You stomped your feet lightly, *Why is everything so easy for him? Did he know I can’t sleep because of him? Is it really that normal for him to kiss someone, making them feel loved and worried at the same time? And now all he does is comfortably eat on the other side of the table like nothing happened?*
You rolled your eyes. *Jerk*
On the other side, Woohyun knows that you are stealing glances at him and believe it or not, It makes him awkward at his seat as well. He doesn’t know what to do. How to talk to you. And ask you about your status.
Finally he stared at you when he finally had a chance while you were munching on your bread. *Please stop looking at me, Please. It’s making me uncomfortable. Uncomfortable in a way that I like it*
“Aigoo.. Enjoying my food that much, huh? Can’t blame me if my cooking is so irresistible” Sunggyu finally decided to break the silence.
“Hyung. Can you tell what do you mean by irresistible? All you did was just fry this foods. And in case you didn’t know, Some of the hams and eggs are burned and they’re just not telling it to you” Sungjong protested while forking one of the burned hams to show it to Sunggyu.
“Why you-” Sunggyu stood up from his seat to reach Sungjong but Hoya stopped him. Sungjong made same weird faces to mock Sunggyu.
Sunggyu sighed in aggravation. *You’ll get it next time, You little twid*
Myungsoo high-fived Sungjong secretly and said, “Nice one”. Sungjong just smirked victory and ate the burned ham, He’ve showed Sunggyu.
“So… Where were you last night, Wonhee?” Dongwoo suddenly asked. Then he placed his arms around Myungsoo, which made his cheeks flushed. “You see, Myungsoo here, became worried after you left last night since after you left, you didn’t came back”
“I.. Uhmm… I talked to Haeri” You answered, hastily.
“That’s it?”
“Yah Hyung! Stop interrogating her like that, It’ll make her uncomfortable” Myungsoo kicked Dongwoo lightly.
“.. and walk around” You said firmly.
“That’s it?” Dongwoo asked again making you shift your expression to a cold one.
Myungsoo’s expression changed as well and kicked Dongwoo a little harder than the first one.
You let out a chuckle, “Why do I sound like a criminal judging from the way you interrogate me Dongwoo. I walk around and wander around. That’s it”
Dongwoo smiled apologetically, “I’m sorry for sounding like a policeman to you. It’s just that Myungsoo keeps on pestering me, Why aren’t you coming back since it so late and he’s worried about you?”
That’s it. And on cue, Myungsoo kick him so hard, It made Dongwoo stood up and yelped away from his seat, “YAH! What’s that for? I just said the truth”
You turned to Myungsoo, “Is it true?”
Myungsoo cleared his throat, unable to deny his innocence anymore. “Yeah! I was worried since you are not returning my calls and it’s so late. You know how people mind’s works right? And it is not safe to walk alone at night”.
Sunggyu butted in, “That explains. Are you alone last night, Wonhee?”
“Why?”
“Because Woohyun left last night as well saying he’ll just go to the bathroom and then he didn’t come back” Sunggyu implied.
“Ooh.. This is going to be good” Dahae mumbled loud enough for Hoya to hear. He blinked at her innocently not knowing what’s going on through Dahae’s mind.
You opened your mouth to talk but Woohyun was more quick to answer Sunggyu’s question.
“We were together last night” He said confidently.
All eyes perked on him like he did something. Myungsoo can’t take his eyes off of you and Woohyun and for a moment his heart beat stopped. He should not feel this. This Hyung is whom he first confessed his feelings for the first girl he’ve ever love. There’s no way he could feel this way, right?
Woohyun shrugged coolly, “Uhmm.. And I toured her around. I was kinda depressed. I saw her nearly falling-“.
Your knee touched his knee lightly and gave him a sign to never tell anyone he saw you collapsed on the floor last night.
He stared in your eyes and gave you a reassuring nod, “falling on the stairs. I think she’s drunk or reserved last night not knowing it’s already stairs, she’s stepping at”.
He looked at all your expression. After some time trying to sink in all his words, they continue eating their food like nothing. You took this time to say thank you at him and even though he don’t know why are you saying thanks to him. He accepted it with a nod and continued eating his food as well.
After Myungsoo finish his meal, he drank his water and declared, “Manager Jungryul said, Today’s gonna be our rest day. And since I’m not doing anything, I think I’ll just go to our house since it’s just 10 miles away from here. Are you going home, Sunggyu-hyung?”.
“Of course! I miss them so much” Sunggyu said as he stood away from his seat. “And now, I’m going to go prepare my things. Bye guys”
“Since I know the routes in this place, Dahae, Can I tour you to my favorite places around here somewhere?” Hoya sheepishly said to Dahae.
Dahae gave him a satisfying grin, “Sure”.
“Wonhee-Noona” Myungsoo called out.
“Yeah?”
“You have any plans for today?” He asked. You shook your head, “No. Not really. Why?”.
“Can you come with me today? I’ll introduce you my family. It’ll be fun. I’m telling you” He muttered. Smiling, Anticipating for your answer.
Woohyun literally choke on his seat, which made Sungjong gave him a glass of water. “Hyung, Are you okay?”
“I’m fine. It’s just the bread was stuck into my throat”
Dahae rolled her eyes. *Lamest excuse he’ve ever said*
You looked at Woohyun’s poor state and immediately shifted your attention to Myungsoo, “Sure. I would love to”.
“Can I- Can I go with the two of you?” Woohyun sheepishly offered.
Myungsoo gave him a look, “Why?”
“Because I miss Moonsoo. And your mom and dad. I just wanna go back to the day where we are spending some time with each other when we are just little kids” He rubbed his head sheepishly.
Liar.
Dahae smiled as she took a sipped of water. *Why can’t he just say that he doesn’t want Myungsoo to introduce Wonhee to his parents?*
“Yah! But you told me there’s an antique shop down the street that sells unique wing earrings that I could add up to my collection” Dongwoo opposed.
“And you told me there are a lot of souvenir shops here and there is a mall downtown, you said we are going to tour it and shop there” Sungjong joined in.
Woohyun is nearing to outburst and shout at them for ruining his plan but he remained calm down. He can’t show them that he is nearing his intensity level instead he looked at then and grinned, “Can’t we just do it tomorrow?”.
“Dude! We are leaving tomorrow, we have some schedule. Remember?” Dongwoo chortled.
Woohyun heaved a sigh. *Oh right! I forgot*
“Fine”
Hoya snorted, “Looks like Woohyun is going to be a babysitter of 2 for the day”.
The others laughed but not Woohyun. He hates it. He hates the fact that all of his plans were sabotaged.
Now how is he going to talk to Wonhee and asked her about the things he wants to clarify. Now that he declared, he is not able to let her go. No not this time.
Happy L Day and Myungsoo day everyone!
LOL. Happy Birthday to my most ever loving clumsy bias Myungsoo (and this perfect alter ego, L). You're 22 now in Korea and 21 internationally, maybe this time you know what's right and wrongt. LOL. What was I saying? Right and wrong doesn't come from age it comes from the heart. Right? So yeah! You've been my bias eversince 2010 and even though I have many biases, You're still my top bias. Maybe because of you're weird attitude or your cute obsessions with things or your sleeping habits or maybe your charisma on stage (Nah. L would be my top 2 bias anyways). I dunno. Even a whole page isn't enough to tell why I'm drawn to you. You're unique in your own way and I like it too much. Anyways. Happy birthday to you both (Myung/L). I love you and I will always support you oppa! Forever, I promise....
