Chapter 36

“Hyunjoong honey, when are you coming home?” his mother asked. She hadn’t seen her son in over two weeks. If he didn’t graced them with his present, it was for only a second before he head to his room. Sometimes he wouldn’t even leave the room; it was something that had really worry his parents. Hyunjoong had stop discussing his attention with them. He still refused to give up the search for Jaejoong, he hadn’t been able to let it go. Though many people told him he needed to move on with his life, but he was unwilling. Each night he lay in bed counting the days he brother had been gone. Whispering…

“Jaejoong I know you’re out there… please just come back to us.”

“Umma, I have a busy schedules to keep. This company won’t run without me.”

“Hyunjoong…”

“Umma I really need to go.” His mother went silence, he hurt her, she hadn’t been able to get over the loss of her baby son.

“Jaejoong wouldn’t want this Hyunjoong.” He could hear the sadness in her voice, “You got to stop dwelling…”

“Umma, I’m not dwelling.”

“But Jaejoong would hate all this. He would honey, you can’t do this for the rest of your life, you searching for him, won’t bring Jaejoong back. Please Hyunjoong listen to Umma, Jae…”

“I know Umma, but I can’t. I can’t give up on him…” he sighed, “I won’t, not until I find some clues,” Hyunjoong hung up before his mother could say anything. He stared at the phone, before rubbing the hair on his chin, he couldn’t remember the last time he shaved. He began to sign the paper that litter his desk when his intercom beeped.

“Yes?”

“Sir, Mr Choi here to see you.” Hyunjoong shook his head, “Tell him to come back later, I’m busy…” before the receptionist could saw anything, the door was shoved open.

“Busy eh? Don’t make me laugh!I know you haven’t been turning up for any of your meetings, do you want to run this company in to the ground, because from what I can see your doing a fine job. You have a lot of explaining to do and before you tell me to leave I won’t.” Heechul walked into the office, with Kibum on his hip. “Yah, the least you could do is return my phones calls, did you forget our meeting or something or are you just avoiding me? The least you could have done is give me a call then leave me to look like a fool in front of the board members when you didn’t turn up. Come on Hyunjoong I left you like 12 messages. Do you not care about Jaejoong’s store anymore? Because I do, and I wanted to make a tribute to Jaejoong’s memory.” Heechul placed his son on the carpet as he made his way over to the desk, “When was the last time you shaved? Seriously the rugged look doesn’t show off your best features and when was when last time you shower?” he wrinkled his nose, “Maybe it was a good thing you didn’t turn up.”

“I’ve been busy.”

“That excuse again? In case you haven’t notice I’ve been busy too. In case you’ve forgotten I’m running Jaejoong’s stores, not to mention looking out for investments. And raise a baby all at the same time, and let’s not forget taking care of a husband.” he pointed to his son on the floor holding a teddy bear in his small tubby hands as he on the ear, “You remember my son right? Not that you came to visit or sent a congratulation card to me and Siwon when I gave birth to him, you didn’t even visit in the last seven months, but I let it go. I knew you were delay with a lot, but I’ve had enough,” he gazed at Hyunjoong before he place his hands on Hyunjoong’s collar lifting him from his seat, “You think I don’t miss him too? He was my most valued friends.” The sorrow in Heechul’s voice didn’t go a miss. “Hyunjoong, you said you’d try just like I did. We both said we’d try and move forward for Jaejoong’s sake, but here you are not holding up, you end of the bargain, why? Joongie would hate this, he’d hated what you’ve become. Don’t you think I miss him too, I see him every day when I’m at work as well as everywhere I go.” Tears from his eye spilled like a never ending stream. “I hate you right now for making me feel li
