Third

A moment to Remember

A/N : OMG, writing this story makes me feel melancholy. Aish, it's my own fault afterall. Yeah, but I hope it wouldn't affect your feeling. And just for your information, no comedy in this story. I will make it serious and full of touching scene. So if you don't like it, I'm okay with that. At least I have informed you. This chapter is about how Myungsoo's reaction after Woohyun informed him about Sungyeol. Suddenly I remember when Myungsoo cried after read his mother's letter in Birth of a Family. And about the woman, Go Minam and her son, Kenichi Koisuke, you will find out her full identity later when Myungsoo meets Sungyeol. Enjoy this short chapter and see ya. ^^

P.S : The Japan words are not 100% accurate. I use the translator so please forgive me. Hehe
 

 


"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Osaka. We are about to land in 20 minutes. Please check on your seatbelt. Thank you." the stewardess announced. 'Yeol, I almost there. Wish me luck.' Woohyun glances at his clock. It's almost nine o'clock. He just left Seoul and now he was already missed Sungyeol. A moment later, they finally landed on Kansai International Airport. This is the second time Woohyun visited Osaka. And his first time visit was with Sungyeol about three years ago.

 

Flashback
"Hyunnie, I want to visit Tempozan Ferris Wheel." Sungyeol stated.
"Ferris Wheel? Oh, my, even though you have a baby face look but you're not a teenager anymore my baby Yeollie. It's embarrassing. Let's visit another place." Woohyun refused.
"Naaahh, it's okay. I want to visit it. They said that place was so romantic at night." Sungyeol pleaded.
"I don't want to. It's embarrassing."
"Okay, I'm going by myself." Sungyeol insisted.
"But you don't know how to go there." Woohyun smirked.
"I can ask the taxi driver to take me." Sungyeol said calmly, flipping his hair.
Woohyun chuckles. He knew Sungyeol so well. He wouldn't dare to go around the place which he was unfamiliar with. "You wouldn't dare."
Sungyeol glared at him. "Don't test me, Nam Woohyun-ssi. I can go by myself."
"Okay, just try it." Woohyun challenged him.
Sungyeol bit his lips. Actually he was afraid to go by himself but Woohyun's statement really insulted his pride.
"I'm going." Sungyeol said coldly as he waved his hand to stop a taxi.
"Ya, are you serious, Lee Sungyeol?" Woohyun looked at him.
"Of course. I mean it. Bye, Woohyunnie." Sungyeol smirks before get into the taxi.
"Hey, wait, Yeol." Woohyun called but it's too late. The taxi was already gone.
"Ya... Wait." Woohyun called again. "Aish, that stubborn giant."
Woohyun frowned as he looking around to find another taxi. But he wasn't that lucky because there's no taxi around there. "Damn it, Where's the taxi?"
Woohyun walks nearby the place and after a couple minutes, there's a taxi passes by.
"Tempozan Ferris Wheel, please." Woohyun tells the taxi driver.
"Hai."
A moment later, Woohyun arrived at the place. He's glancing around to find Sungyeol but the place was too crowded.
"Aish, where is him?" he pouts. Woohyun calls Sungyeol's cellphone but it was off.
"Tch! The battery must be drained again. Bad habit. He always forget to charge his phone." Woohyun then walks towards the ferris wheel, hoping that Sungyeol could be seen queueing among the people. But he wasn't there.
Woohyun was waiting nearby the Ferris wheel, his eyes scanned among the crowd. But after almost an hour, he didn't see Sungyeol's presence at all.
"Where is he going?" Woohyun started to worry. Sungyeol is a craven person. He easily feels panic in the new place. And his Japanese wasn't that good and not each Japanese people know English.
"He might be get lost." Woohyun guest. He then started to search some places nearby. He went back to the hotel but Sungyeol wasn't there. It's already late and Woohyun really worried about Sungyeol.
"If I didn't refuse him to go to the Ferris Wheel, this shouldn't happen." Woohyun blames himself. He sat alone on the bench in the park. Sometimes, Sungyeol could be so stubborn and the best way is to follow whatever he says. Woohyun clutches his hair frustatingly, thinking of what should he do now. A moment later, his phone rang.
"Moshi-moshi, Woohyun-san, koreha keisatsusho karadesu. Ko no jikan wa, Ri sungyeol, keisatsushodeatta."
Woohyun was surprised. That's the call from the police station. They said Sungyeol was with them.
"Kokode wa, adoresudesu ka?"
Woohyun asked the address.
"2-6-24, Chibune, Nishiyodogawa-ku, Osaka-shi."
"Dōmo arigatōgozaimasu. Watashi wa sugu ni koto ga deki." Woohyun thanked the police as he hung up the phone.
"Thanks God, I finally found him." Woohyun smiles in relief. He immediately stops the taxi.
"Woohyunnie, Woohyunnie, I'm so glad to see you. I was so afraid. That taxi driver took me everywhere. I can't recognise the place. I.. I.." Sungyeol sniffed, hugging Woohyun tightly.
"There, there. It's okay. I'm here now. Don't cry." Woohyun patted shooting Sungyeol's back.
"I shouldn't leave you there. I shouldn't argue you. I... I Shouldn't being stubborn. I'm sorry."
"Okay, okay, please don't cry, Yeol. You hurt me with your tears." Woohyun said sadly.
After thanked the policemen, Woohyun and Sungyeol leave the place. Inside the taxi, Sungyeol just remains silent.
'He must be still shock.' Woohyun glanced at him in guilty. Without Sungyeol's realise, Woohyun leans closer to the taxi driver and mouthed something. The taxi driver nodded as he mouthed 'Hai' to Woohyun.
A moment later, the taxi stops at someplace. Sungyeol glances out. "Hyunnie, where are we?"
Woohyun smiles. "Didn't you leave me to go to this place?"
Sungyeol opens his mouth, looking at Woohyun. "You mean we are at Tempozan Ferris wheel."
Woohyun nods. "Come on, let's have some fun." Woohyun said, getting out from the taxi. But Sungyeol still froze on his seat.
"Hey, Mr. Choding boy, are you waiting for the taxi driver to kick you out?" Woohyun . Sungyeol slowly gets out.
"But you said you didn't want to go."
"Nah, but I want it now. Come on." Woohyun grabs Sungyeol's hand. Sungyeol just followed him cluelessly. Because it's almost midnight so it's not as crowded as before. They enter the Ferris Wheel with Woohyun still grabbing on Sungyeol's hand.
"Woah, look, Hyunnie. It's soooo beautiful down there. Daebak!" Sungyeol looks excited. His shock was long forgotten, replaced by the joy. He glances out with awe like a three years old kid.
"Like I guest, this place must be wonderful. Am I right, Hyunnie?" Sungyeol turns to Woohyun, only to find Woohyun was staring at him in silence.
"Hey, what happen to you? Since when a talkative Hyunnie become mute like this?" Sungyeol waves his hand in front of Woohyun. But instead answer him, Woohyun then took Sungyeol's hand and kiss it. "Please forgive me, Yeol. Forgive me for being selfish, ignoring your feeling, making you suffering alone." he said in guilty.
"Nah, what are you talking about? That's not your fault. That's my own fault. If I obediently listen to you, this wouldn't be happened. Please don't blame yourself." Sungyeol touches Woohyun's cheek.
"Promise me, don't do that again. Don't leave without telling me. Okay?"
Sungyeol smiles, linking his arms around Woohyun's neck. "I promise, I will never leave without telling you."
Woohyun smiles, pressing his forehead on Sungyeol. "I love you so much, Yeol."
"I love you too." That's the last word that Sungyeol said before Woohyun sealed his lips with tender kiss.
End Of Flashback


"Sir, is this the place that you mean?" the taxi driver's voice took Woohyun back from his train of thoughts. Woohyun looks out before glances down to the paper on his hand. "I think this is the place. Thank you, Sir."
"You're welcome." the taxi driver smiles warmly.
Woohyun gets out from the taxi then walks towards a traditional style house. "Omoide Gallery." Woohyun mumbles, glancing up at the big nameplate above him. He then pushes the bells button. A moment later, there's voice from inside.
"Wait, mommy, Ken-Chan is coming." A man with glasses, holding a baby boy welcome Woohyun. "Anata daredesuka?"
"Sorry to disturb. I'm Nam Woohyun. You must be Kim Myungsoo, right?"
Myungsoo furrows his brow. "Yes, I am. Are you Korean?"
"Yeah, I'm from Korea. I came here to meet you. May I borrow your time?"
Myungsoo looked at him in confuse. It's so rare to see Korean guest.
"So, what do you want from me, Nam..."
"Nam Woohyun."
"Nam Woohyun-ssi." Woohyun said, taking the glass from Myungsoo.
"Just call me Woohyun. I'm here because of Sungyeol."
Myungsoo gasped at the mention.
"You must be know that name, aren't you? I'm Lee Sungyeol's fiance."
Myungsoo fixes his glasses, holding his glass awkwardly. "What are you doing here?"
Woohyun took a deep breath before speaks. "Sungyeol is coma."
The glass on Myungsoo's hand almost slip from his hand.
"Sungyeol got celebral venous hemorraghic, the loss of brain function caused by bleeding of blood vessels of the brain. His chance of life was less than 50%. Doctor said he probably will stay coma or the worst is... death." Woohyun stops for a while, trying to control his feeling.
In the other hand, Myungsoo was remained silent, clutching at his glass tightly. His expression was unreadable.
"Not long ago, I found a diary book in his room. That was his high school diary. And... Inside that diary, there's a story about... You." Woohyun stops again, glancing at Myungsoo who was still kept silent.
"That diary told about how he met you, spent time with you, and how his feeling towards you was growing day by day... even until now."
"S.. So, w..what do you want do you want for me?" Myungsoo tried to gather his voice, still refused to look up.
"I hope you want to go back with me to meet him."
"What for?" Myungsoo asked flatly.
"To help Sungyeol to wake up. He still loves you, Myungsoo-ssi. That diary is the silent witness of his love towards you. He likes rain, he likes painting, he likes photograph all because of you. He never forget you. So maybe your presence will help him to regain his conciousness. Or if he doesn't, at least I could grant his last wish, to see his first love." Woohyun was trying his best to forget who is he and how he feels now. The important thing is Sungyeol. He would throw away his feeling and pride only to help his precious one.
"You shouldn't read his diary." Myungsoo said, now looking at Woohyun expressionlessly.
"I know. You're not the only one who said that. But I deserve to know and I didn't want there's any regret on anyone, especially Sungyeol. I love him with all my life and all that I wanna do is to bring him the happiness." Woohyun looked straight into Myungsoo's eyes. "And I know his happiness is you, Myungsoo-ssi."
Myungsoo stared at him, speechless. Woohyun glances to the baby box nearby them. "I know I came at the wrong time. But I really hope you can help me, help Sungyeol. If you didn't take him as lover but at least you can take him as your childhood friend. Please , Myungsoo-ssi. I beg you."
"I... I don't know. T..this is too sudden." Myungsoo said nervously.
"I know. I will give you time, Myungsoo-ssi. Please, think about it wisely. Please." Woohyun said, grabbing Myungsoo's arms tightly. He then pulled out something from his bag.
"These are Sungyeol's favourite things. And these things are related to you. I will put these things here. And this is my card, you can call me anytime. I'm really looking forward to know your answer, Myungsoo-ssi." Woohyun put down the things on the table. "I'm leaving." With that Woohyun left the room. Myungsoo didn't response him at all, still frozing on his place. He stays like that for a couple moment, seems his body lost its function to move. This news was too shocking him. He glances to the table, there are two books on the table. His hand was trembling as he took the books. He opens the bigger one. It looks like a drawing book. He opens the page slowly.

Flashback
"Why do you like to draw abstract thing, Myungsoo-ah?" a tall man asked, sitting next to him on the rooftop.
Myungsoo shrugged. "I don't know. I just like it. It gave me freedom to explore my imagination."
"But I think close up picture is more attractive." Sungyeol commented.
Myungsoo stops his action and glances at Sungyeol. "Why?”
“Because they lead us to see something that we can't see if we look widely." Sungyeol explains with a smile.
“Do you have interest in painting?” Myungsoo asks him again.
Sungyeol nods. “ But I never had the courage to start it neither no one teach me.” Sungyeol glances down, playing with his shirt button.
“I’m going to teach you.”
Sungyeol looks up. “Really?”
“Ne, as long as you have passion, I’m sure you can do it.”
“So, can we start now, Myung?”
“Sure, here.” Myungsoo said, handing him the brush and the palete. Sungyeol accepted it in excitement like a kid who got a new toy. That day Myungsoo teaches him how to draw people face and Sungyeol really has talented in drawing.
End of Flashback

 
“Your skill in drawing is improving, Yeol.” Myungsoo said slowly, touching the drawing book. He scans page by page until he finds his face on the last page. He stops there, scanning the picture carefully. He scanned every single detail on the picture. How Sungyeol drew his eyes, his thick eyebrows, his sharp nose, his lips, his jawlines. Myungsoo was stuck there, looking on his own face on the paper. But the more he observed on the picture, his vision was getting blurry. But he can’t stop to look. His mind was absent. He even didn’t notice when someone come in.
“Oppa, why are you letting the door unlock? It’s so late now, how is some bad guy come in? Aish, you’re always forgetful.” A feminine voice called, walking into the room.  Myungsoo didn’t answer him, frozing on his seat.
“Oppa, is Ken-chan sleeping?” still no answer.
Didn’t get any answer the woman then aprroaching the baby box. “Where’s mommy’s baby boy?” the woman who was dressing in floral dress said slowly. Looking at the sleeping boy, she smiles and kisses his forehead gently. The woman then glances back to Myungsoo who was silent for the entire time.
 “Oppa, what are you doing there?” the woman asked, approaching Myungsoo’s seat. She was surprised when she saw Myungsoo. “Oppa, why are you crying?”
Myungsoo looks up, his hands were trembling. “He...He...He came again. He... he is coma. I..” Myungsoo choked, couldn’t continue his words.
“Who, oppa? Who? Coma? What are you talking about? Please come down a bit.” The woman calmed him down, patting his back gently.
Myungsoo took a deep breath, trying to control his feeling and after a moment, he finally calm.
"Lee Sungyeol."
The woman gasped. "Your first love, the one that you can't forget for fourteen years. Is he that Lee Sungyeol?"
Myungsoo nods slowly.
"What happen?"
"His fiance came to me, telling me that Sungyeol was in coma. And he gave me these things, Sungyeol's diary and his drawing book. Minam-ah, he still love me. I never thought that he also couldn't forget me. From the way he drew myself, I could feel that he missed me so much. It hurt me, Minam. If I had the courage to fight our love. If I didn't give up. If..."
"Oppa, please calm down. It's not the time. He needs you right now, oppa. You should meet him."
"But I... I'm scare. I really scare."
"What are you scare of? You have been suffering for fourteen years, thinking about him all the time. Oppa, don't torture yourself anymore. He needs you. And I know you want to see him so badly, right?"
"But..."
"No but, oppa. Don't make me kick your . Don't worry about me and Ken-chan. I will ask my aunty to take care of him while I am working."
"But I can't leave you."
"Oppa, please. You had done so many thing for Ken-chan better than his own father. I owe you so much and now this is your turn to think about yourself. Go find your love. Sungyeol oppa is waiting for you right now." Minam holds Myungsoo's hands tightly. Myungsoo looked deeply into her eyes. "Thank you so much, Minam. Thanks for telling me what I need to know. Thanks." Myungsoo hugs her tightly.
Minam gives her a sweet warm smile. "That's friend's up for, oppa. Now, prepare yourself. Do what you need to do. I'm going to take Ken-chan home."
"Thank you so much, Minam-ah."
"No need to thank me, oppa. This is nothing if it was compared with what you had done. Ah, don't worry about the gallery. I will take care of it for you." Minam smiles, gently lifting Ken-chan up from the baby box. Ken-chan stirs a bit but he still sleeping.
Myungsoo nods with a smile. Minam smiles back before leaving the house with sleeping Ken-chan.
Myungsoo grabs the name card on the table.
"Nam Woohyun." he reads it.
'I'm Sungyeol's fiance.' The voice rang loudly inside him.
"Fiance." he repeated. "Yeol, you have a good fiance."
He then dials the number on the name card. A moment later, someone picks up the phone.
"It's me, Kim Myungsoo."
"How's your answer?"
"I'm going with you."
"Thank you so much, Myungsoo-ssi. Thank you so much."
"Drop the ssi, Woohyun-ah. When will we leave?"
"Tomorrow morning. The first flight."
"Okay. See you there." Myungsoo said as he hung up the phone.
He took the drawing book and the diary, hugging them tightly. "I'll be there soon, my lovely Sungyeol. Please wait for me."
