Chapter 11
The Road Not Taken
"What is wrong with him? Wasn't he the one who told me to sleep?" Jinki thought to himself while shaking his to head to dry off the water from his face.
The day dragged, at the slowest pace it could. Someone had come with food. He refused again. Sometimes he could hear people talking, but their voice were not that clear to understand but otherwise it was quiet.
Sometime later, He heard the clicking of the door knob, and the door opened. He sat up straight.
"Oh you are awake?" Jonghyun asked walking in and then closing the door behind him.
In this moment both of them felt as if they both only existed in this world. This room was their own world shut away from everything. And there was a long silence inbetween them. Shaking his head,Jonghyun said,
"I heard you even refused to have lunch. I won't poison you."
"Whatever."
Jonghyun looked at him and left the room again. He was back again with food. And placed it behind him. At the smell of food his stomach grumbled. He hadn't had anything since yesterday. He looked at Jonghyun and saw him staring at him, biting his his lip to stop him from laughing.
"He is doing this on purpose. But I won't give in so easily." And Jinki gave him a hard and cold stare. Jonghyun bit harder on his lip desperately trying to control his laughter.
But then Jinki's stomach grumbled and he gave in to the delicious aroma of the food.
"I can't eat unless you untie my hands."
"Oh how foolish of me." Jonghyun said while facepalming in a mock display of disbelief.
Jonghyun untied Jinki letting his fingers linger for some extra momnets on Jinki's. Jonghyun's hands were soft and warm and not what Jinki had expected them to be, cold and hard.
Jinki got up stumbled a bit. Jonghyun caught his waist to steady him. He sat again and dug into his food. From the corner of his chair he could see Jonghyun had settled on the bed. Staring at him with amusement.
"You eat like a small kid."
Jinki continued eating, ignoring him. After he was done he pushed the plate away from him and looked at Jonghyun. Jonghyun got up and tied Jinki's hands again.
Jinki saw Jonghyun entering the bathroom. After sometime a freshly showered Jonghyun came out of the bathroom in a black sleeveless t-shirt and pyjamas. Jinki's heart skipped a beat. He had never seen anyone as good-looking as Jonghyun. His gaze followed Jonghyun.
Jonghyun slumped on his bed. He looked at Jinki, their eyes met. Jinki lowered his gaze and shifted in his chair. Jonghyun smiled satisfactorily at himself and lay back on his bed and fell asleep.
Jinki sat there watching Jonghyun sleep. He watched the way his chest rose and fell rhythmically. The last thought Jinki thought before he drifted to sleep was why had he taken that road that night.
