Chapter 16

-the Past-

-KYUHYUN’S POV-

“do you want to hear a story?” I ask and i can see him looking at me with questioning look

“what story?” he ask

“the story of my past” I said to him

He just nod and I think on where I should start..

I saw everyone crying.. looking at us, me my hyung and my father.. I didn’t know what had happen.. but all I know is I lost my mom.. she’s gone.. and she will never come back..

A man approaches us and said “we really tried but it’s too late”

I look at my father and I can see the traces of his tears as he nod on what the man told him..

I look at Siwon hyung and he look at me and show his faint smile

“hyung? Why did mom died?” I ask him wanting to know how she died

Hyung look at me and walk in the veranda so we can talk

we can talk this like older people do.. I’m 6 years old and hyung is 8 years old but I am aware about the event we are into..

“hyung?” I said as I look at him

“accident.. he was in a car accident” he said

I look at my mom’s coffin and saw her picture.. as I saw it.. from the day we heard the news I didn’t cry thinking I should be stronger but now.. I can’t help it to cry.. accepting the fact that my mom died.. that she will never come back..

“it’s ok to cry kyu” siwon hyung said to me and tap my shoulder

I cried my heart out.. the pain I contain for almost a week starting the day we heard the news until today.. I crumbled myself on the corner of the veranda as I think about the things that might happen to me without my mom.. I’m not that close to my mom but I really love her.. I cried harder and harder until my heart can calm down..

I fell someone walk towards me and I saw siwon hyung also cried knowing him just like him he put himself to be strong and not to cry but right now here we are crying our heart out..

I look at him and ask..

“hyung can I go the car where mom died?” I ask hoping he will allow me

“no.. dad said we shouldn’t mingle on this issue and it was an accident according to the police I heard it..” siwon hyung said

I just nod and saw hyung walking away.. as I saw him mingling with the other visitors in our mom’s burial I sneak out of the place and go to the back area to look for the car.. I know it was not an accident.. I heard from our bodyguards that it might be an intention.. I look at the car and saw the mirror with a gunshot hole on it..

“I knew it” I said as I started to cry again

“kyu” I hear siwon hyung calling me inside I immediately went inside the reason I don’t want siwon hyung saw me looking at the car where our mom died

“where have you been?” he ask me

“outside hyung.. the atmosphere here is killing me” I said as I can’t stop crying

“shhh” hyung said as he hug me soothing my back

I feel calm as my hyung sooth me

“let’s go.. dad said we should go home now its late” hyung said as he lead the way towards the car and the driver open the door for us

As we are inside the car I look at hyung as he look far away thinking I guess

“hyung?” I called him

“ne?” as he answered back without looking at me

“what if mom got killed by someone and not by accident?” I ask looking at him

He look at me meaningfully and just sigh

“kids like us can’t interfere in those kind of things kyu-ah.. ok? Its an accident put it in your mind” he said as he look at me

I just nod and look away.. silence is everywhere no one want to talk as if ever someone might think again about the thing happening on  us

I’m a kid I know.. but right now? I’m open on everything that might happen.. I have a mind that is advance for my age.. so don’t blame me on thinking stuff like this

I still keep quite even during the time we arrive at the mansion.. hyung walk outside without waiting for the driver to open it and immediately walk inside I followed him and proceed on my room not wanting a enter a conversation on anyone..

A month after my mom died.. everything went well.. as if it didn’t happen.. my dad is busied on our company as if he was the only one working.. he became workaholic and we seldom see him in the house..

My brother? Well he still like himself, but he became like more aggressive but he still care for me and we are more closer to each other compared before..

And me? Everything change on me after my mom died.. I seldom speak.. I only speak when something is asking and worst sometimes I even just ignore it everyone.. I became a cold person, not caring about other just care about myself and hyung.. I really don’t care about my father since I really don’t see him after my mom died.. my words get harsh and I don’t really care if someone get hurt on it as long I say what’s on my mind.. and I refuse my friends and want to be alone forever..

As I walk inside the mansion the maids welcome me and just who am I just stare at them.. when suddenly I remember something..

“where is siwon hyung?” I ask at one of the maids

“he is in the library young master” he answered

After hearing where he was.. I go to the library and I can see siwon hyung there reading a book.. I walk towards him and he look at him as he feel my presence and I sat beside him..

“hyung” I said as I look at him

“what?” he look at him closing the book he was reading

 “can I stop attending school.. I just want to be home schooled” I said as I look at him in a blank face

“why? You don’t like our school?” he ask

“no.. I like there but I just want to be here and I don’t even have friends so it’s not a problem at all” I said

But before he can say anything my father’s secretary walk in and look at us

“young master siwon, your father need to talk to you” she said and look at siwon

I look at her then to my hyung.. why is it my father want to talk to him it’s rare to let his secretary go here and tell him my father want to talk to him.. I wonder what is it..

Hyung just nod and put his book on the table and stood up but before he walk outside the room he look at me and smile

“I’m going to appa first just stay there ok? Let’s continue to talk later” he aid and leave

I stare at the door and nod.. as I wait for my hyung to come back.. I look at the library since I rarely come here.. it’s one of the room where my hyun go to.. as I was scanning the are my eyes landed on the bok hyung was reading

The book titled “CRIME” I look at it and as I was scanning the page something fell on the ground as I was about to get it I saw my mom’s picture with me and hyung.. I just stare and I heard the door open seeing siwon hyung looking at me then on the book and the picture on the floor

“what are doing kyu-ah?” he ask as he didn’t walk and stayed on where he is

“ahh.. hyung.. nothing I just curious on what is the book you are reading and this thing fell” I said and immediately get the picture and put it in the book

First rule on siwon hyung when reading: DON’T EVER TOUCH HIS BOOK

“didn’t I told you not to touch the book I’m reading?” siwon hyung said as he approach me and sit on his place

“ne.. mianhe” I said

He didn’t reply on what I said.. I look at him as I saw him reading the book again

“hyung? Can I ask something?” I said

“what is it?” he said while looking at the book

“what did appa told you? Why did he called you?” I ask

“nothing just saying stuff for the company” siwon hyung answered me and still continue reading his book

I nod and stood up then eave proceeding to my room.. I look at myself on the mirror

“is hyung and appa hidden something on me?” I ask myself but of course I didn’t find the answer

Day passed and I completely move on my mom’s death.. but something really bothers be on the day my father called siwon hyung, siwon hyung usually go back to the mansion late at night.. I wonder where he go.. maybe on the company.. but hyung is still young for that he’s only 8 years old..

It continue for almost a month as hyung came home late.. we didn’t have time to talk as he is going home late and usually tired to talk to me.. so I left on the mansion alone and even became an anti-social..

One night.. as I was about to sleep I heard a knock on my door and I saw siwon hyung on the door and he walk inside..

“kyu.. get all your things we are leaving ” he said and as if he is not telling me but ordering

Being the younger one and based on hyung’s tone I immediately stand up and put everything on my bag.. as I finish packing he immediately get my bags and hand it to the driver

“let’s go” he said and walk inside the car

I just nod as I look at the things getting in the car and a minute of staring a walk inside the car and saw siwon hyung on a serious face..

“hyung where are we going?” I ask him but he didn’t answered and just stare directly on the road

I keep myself silent not wanting to get scolded by hyung and I don’t want hyung to get mad at me..

As we wait for the time the car stop I can see that we are in a subdivision.. I wonder who is the person leaving here.. I look at the houses.. it’s big enough.. and the car stop on a certain house..

It’s a house with a big gate and somehow it is big enough but not bigger than ours.. hyung walk outside and I saw a couple with a girl on their side.. I went outside and walk beside hyung.. I look at our back and I saw my things being out on the car..

“hyung? Why is it my bags are getting out of the car?” I ask hyung as I look at him tugging his t-shirt

“kyu.. from now on.. you will leave with them.. this is mr. and mrs. Cho and this girl is Ahra” he said as he introduce them to me

“but why hyung?” I ask as  tears falling on my face

“just follow what I said kyu.. leave with them” hyung said and he remove my hands on his t-shirt and mr. Cho get me and preventing me to run to siwon hyung

“hyung.. hyung.. don’t leave me…  HYUNG!!!! DON’T LEAVE ME.. PLEASE..” I yell as I saw him walking away on me

“HYUNG I PROMISE I WILL ATTEND CLASSES.. PLEASE DON’T LEAVE ME HERE!! PLEASE!!” I yell agan but siwon hyung didn’t look back on me

As he was about to enter the car he look at me and smile.. a sad smile and said..

“kyuhyun.. I promise that I will get you back.. just wait for me” he said and enter the car

I cried seeing the car leaving.. my hyung leave me.. without knowing the reason..

I cried and cried.. I felt someone lifting me up and I saw Mr.Cho lifting me like a child and allowing me to cried more not minding the position we have..

After 3 days leaving with them.. they told me that Ahra is my noona since he was same age as siwo hyung and I should call them mama and papa..

I waited and waited for siwon hyung.. because of this event I rarely talk to anymore just staring on the window waiting for siwon hyung to come back and get me..

I admit they are good to me.. they became a good parents to me.. they care for me and even treat me like a real son.. but I want my hyung to be back.. that’s all I want..

AUGUST…

SEPTEMBER..

OCTOBER…

NOVEMBER..

Months passes no shadow of my brother.. until years passes and I already 10 years old.. no siwon hyung knocking on our door..

“kyuhyun.. siwon hyung will never get you back” I said to myself as anger form on me

I promise myself that I won’t forgive siwon hyung for leaving me.. making my life like this making me a person like this...

As soon as I think about it.. I immediately let my surname became Cho and accepted the family who care for me for years..

As I was in our garden.. thinking about my past.. I heard a hilarious laugh coming from the kitchen..

I’m curious on that laugh so I walk inside and saw a guy older than me and noona laughing and I knw he is the owner of the hilarious laugh.. he saw me and smile..

“hi kyu” he said

I look at him as if I saw a stranger

“do I know you?” I ask him as he call me with my name but I didn’t know him

“of course.. I introduce myself to you when you first leave here but I guess you didn’t put some attention on it as you are busy thinking about something” he said and smile

I look at him with a blank face

“by the way I’m Park Jungsu.. but please call me leeteuk” he said and smile

I smile seeing his dimples.. maybe this one is nice.. I look at him and nod.. an angel

And then out of nowhere a chubby guy came out with a scary glare on me.. I got scared so I move back.. then I look at leeteuk hyung and he smiled at me and he look at the person whom had just entered

“youngwoon-ah! Stop glaring at kyuhyun like that you’re scaring him” he said

And the youngwoon guy sigh and look at me

“hi! I’m youngwoon.. Kim Youngwoon.. but call me Kangin nad this is kibum my brother” he said as he push a guy younger than him and I think he’s as age as mine

“hi kibum-ah..kangin hyung” I said as I look at them

“hi.. I’m Kibum..” he said and look at me and gave me a smile

His smile was so relaxing and whoever this guy will love will be lucky

“kibum-ah go with kyu first I’ll just talk with leeteuk hyung” kangin said and look at me while kibum nod and go to my side

“my brother love leeteuk hyung” kibum whisper to me as we look at them as kangin walk towards leeteuk hyung

“but they are both guy and they are still young” I said looking at them

“it’s ok kyu.. as long as they love one another.. I’m sure kangin hyung will protect leeteuk hyung” he said as he walk away towards the living room

“that’s good!! Kangin hyung should treasure leeteuk hyung because I will kill him if I saw leeteuk hyung crying” I said to kibum

“you’re like the hyung here” he said as he look at me eating popcorn

“I don’t want leeteuk hyung to be hurt like I do.. my brother leave me I got hurt and I don’t want my new family to fell it” I said and I can picture my expression

“it’s ok.. just forget your past kyu” kibum said staring at me while eating popcorn

“yes.. I will forget the past.. the past that hurt me” I said to myself and look at kibum and smile

“thanks kibum”  I said as I was about to get popcorn on him but he slap my hand

“OUCH!!” I said as I rab the portion he slap

“don’t get my popcorn” he said as he eat it and put it away from me

“but I want it!! And it’s too amny for me.. look at you you’re getting fat!!” I said

And after what I said I can see kibum’s eyes get watery and cried so hard.. as he cried I look at him and one minute or so I saw kangin hyung and leeteuk hyung running towards us and I go to leeteuk hyung’s back hiding seeing kangin hyungmakes me scared

“what happen here??” kangin hyung said as he glare at me

“stop glaring youngwoon” leeteuk hyung said as he hold my hand

“I just want a popcorn but kibum don’t want to give it to me” I said

“one rule kyu.. don’t ever get what kibum’s eating because it’s makes him cry” kangin hyung said and I nod

Leeteuk hyung look at me and smile then pat my head

“I’m glad you like me kyu.. I got shock when you ran to my side.. I feel like I was your big brother” he said

As I heard the word big brother.. I remember siwon hyung and I cried

“kyu..shhh.. kyu why?” leeteuk hyung said as he got panic on my action

And then I told the 3 of them about what happen on my past.. how my mom died.. how my brother left me here..

“but I don’t want it to remember every single details about it” I said as I stop myself crying

“it’s ok kyu.. I will be your brother.. I’ll protect you no matter what” leeteuk hyung said and the Kim brother just look at me

“no hyung.. I will protect you!!” I said as I look at leeteuk hyung

“ok.. we will protect one another ne?” he said and hug me

Now.. I can feel what a real family is.. I will never look for my old brother.. I have my leeteuk hyung on my said and the Cho family.. as the day pass.. I grew how my new family wants me to be.. but I’m still the silent and cold Cho Kyuhyun everyone knows except when I’m with leeteuk hyung.. I really love him since he became my older brother even though we are cousins..

Until I went to the university and met Kim Ryeowook.. and meeteing Lee Hyukjae as my first love..

Back to the present..

I stop telling my past and I can feel tears falling on my face.. I cried while telling my past.. as I look at hyukie.. he was crying also while looking at me..

“hyuk?” I called him as I called him he hug me really tight

“kyu.. you’re fragile.. I will protect you and never break you apart.. I will always love you.. you suffer a lot from the past” he said as he cried

As we treasure the moment one thing was on my mind..

I will be with him for the rest of my life.. I will treasure him like my family and leeteuk hyung did when I was young until now..
