A moment to Remember

A/N : Working on another story, please be patient, I'm going to update Fallen Angel and It All Started with a Contract after this. Thank you.

 

 

The pieces of Memory are slowly falling into place...

 

"Did your wife allow you to go?" Woohyun's voice break the silence between them. The other passengers are busy with their own activities. Some look busy with their gadgets. Some family look happily talking. Most of them are Japanese, only some people are non Japanese including Myungsoo and Woohyun.
"I don't have wife." Myungsoo simply answered. Woohyun narrowed his eyes, gazing at Myungsoo. "But your son?"
"I have taken Kenichi as my own son. He's my friend's son."
"How kind of you, take care of another son." Woohyun said, it was obvious whether he was praising him or mocking him.
"It's nothing if it was compared with what you've done for Sungyeol." Myungsoo said, turning to Woohyun. "You want to be his hero until the end."
"You're his true hero, Myung." Woohyun cut. "He is still waiting for you."
"No, you had done a lot thing for him. I'm just the one who ruin his life." Myungsoo said, sounds irritated.
"I don't care what you had done in the past. I don't care what happened between you and Sungyeol. I don't wanna know. That's not my point. I love Sungyeol, and I would do anything for him." Woohyun stop for a while, looking deeply at Myungsoo. "And I, I want you to be by his side, no matter what will happen in the end because I know, I know he wants you to be by his side..."
"If he wakes up and see me, don't you worry?"
Woohyun turns away. "I won't feel anything beside greatful. Because there's nothing I want to see than Sungyeol's smile."
There's a moment silent before Myungsoo comments. "I'm glad Sungyeol chose you, Hyun."

 


"Omuni." Sunggyu called Sungyeol's mother slowly. Mrs. Lee stirs a bit and slowly opens her eyes.
"Ooh, Gyu. When did you come?" Mrs. Lee asked, her face looked so tired.
"I just came. Omuni, you better go home. Let me here with Yeollie." Sunggyu found a flash of hesitation in Mrs. Lee's eyes. "Don't worry, omuni. I will take care of Yeollie. You look tired."
"Okay, I'm going home now. But please call me if something happen to Sungyeol."
Sunggyu smiles. "I will."
Mrs. Lee smiles softly, heading the door but then stops hier way. "Gyu-ah, where's Woohyun? I don't see him since yesterday."
"He went to Japan, omuni."
"Japan? For business trip?" Mrs. Lee asked.
"No, for meeting someone important." Sunggyu said, glancing at the lying Sungyeol for a while before turning back to Mrs. Lee. "Don't worry, omuni. Woohyun will be back soon."
"Okay, may he has a safe trip." Mrs. Lee said before leaves the room.
After Sungyeol's mother left, Sunggyu walks slowly and sits on the chair where Sungyeol's mother sat not long ago.
"Yeollie-ah, did you hear our conversation before? Woohyun was in Japan. He went to Japan to meet someone, your first love, Kim Myungsoo." Sunggyu said outloud, hoping that his words will affect Sungyeol. But looks like his hope was broke. Sungyeol gave no reaction at all. Sunggyu sighs heavily. He gently takes his friend's hand. Seeing his friend lying helplessly like that makes his heart aching.
"Yeol, I miss your voice. I miss our hangout moment. Please open your eyes." Sunggyu stares at the silent Sungyeol. It's strange to see someone who used to be a talkative person suddenly lying helplessly like that. But Sunggyu kept talking. He believes a coma person still able to hear surround them. They just... couldn't answer yet.
"I hope you won't be like this. You can ignore me, I'm okay with that because I'm your bestfriend. Bestfriend could understand you even without words. But not with Myungsoo. He would be so mad if you ignore him. And also Woohyun, your fiance. He would be so irritated with you. These lately, Woohyun was very busy. He has to manage his work time and visiting you here. And I will kick your if you ignore him. Arasso? Because in this world, no one deserves to be your soulmate except him. No one, not even Myungsoo." Sunggyu kept blubbering. "I know you still love Myungsoo. But let me tell you, Woohyun is the one who fight for you. He even sacrifice his own feeling for you. It's so not fair if you choose Myungsoo over Woohyun and I'm the one who will never forgive you. Do you hear me?"
Silence.
"Sorry, Yeol, I just can't control myself.. I know heart couldn't lie. You are the one who know for sure who is your heart belong to. And as a bestfriend, I will support you. As long as you're happy. So, please wake up soon."

 


Myungsoo and Woohyun finally arrive at Incheon international airport. Myungsoo glances around. This is his hometown. He tried to remember when the last time he visited Seoul. That's a long long time ago. Since graduated from high school, he decided to study art in Japan. He often went back for vacation, visiting his parents. But after his parents died, he decided to stay in Japan and never come back. It doesn't mean that he hates his own hometown. But too much memories about them. He couldn't bear it.

Flashback
"Why do you want to study in Japan? There's so many good art university in Seoul."
"It's my dream, Yeol. Furthermore I want to feel new environment." Myungsoo glances at Sungyeol.
"But wherever you are, you will get new people and new environment."
"That's right, but Japan is my dream place. To learn art and then open a small gallery. Isn't that good?" Myungsoo looked up at the sky, seems fully absorbed with his own imagination. Sungyeol looked at him in silence. There's a glimpse of sadness in his eyes. But he can't tell him because he doesn't want to ruin his dream. Sungyeol looks up as well, enjoying the bright blue sky above. Without he realised, the pair of dark eyes now turns to him. A smile was curved on his lips, looking at the tall beauty boy who was closing his eyes right now.
'If you want me to be by your side, I would gladly do that, Yeol.'
End Flashback


"Do you want to go home first or what?"
"I'm here because of Sungyeol. So there's nothing I want to do beside seeing Yeol." Myungsoo said flatly, grabbing his travel bag.
"Okay, I will take you then."
They go to the hospital with Woohyun's car which was parking in the airport parking area since yesterday. Both of them don't talk much along the way. They are too busy with their own thought. Myungsoo glances outside. He missed his hometown so much, missed the people, the environment and the top of that, missed Sungyeol so much. Since Woohyun came to meet him, Myungsoo couldn't stop thinking about Sungyeol. He didn't opened the diary yet but the memories about them couldn't stop to replay on his head.

Flashback

“Myungsoo-ah, your father got a new project in Seoul, so we have to move with him.” A feminine voice said. Myungsoo who was painting in his room looked up. “For how long?”

“I don’t know. But maybe quite long. I’ve signed you up in the new school, Woolim High. And because you are already on the third grade so I think you should start as soon as possible. We will follow soon after everything are settled.”

“Okay.” Myungsoo simply answered as he turned back to his canvas. This news wasn’t a big surprise for him anymore. His father is an engineering of top brand company which has many branches around the South Korea. So, moving around is one of their routine. Since he was eight, he had been moving to almost 20 school. He never stays in one school more than a year. At first, this matter really bothered him. He has to adjust himself in the new environtment over and over again. It’s really not an easy thing to do. But by the time, Myungsoo was accustomed. It doesn’t mean he has another choice though. He doesn’t care anymore. Maybe that’s why, Myungsoo became an introvert boy. He doesn't have any close friend. He doesn't need them either. So he often spends his time alone. And he doesn't expect any difference in his new school. He had planned to finish his high school and then started the new life on his own. His biggest dream is to stay in Japan and open his own gallery.

Myungsoo looked at the big nameplate 'Woolim High'. This is his new destination school for now. It looks nice with five floors building cover with white and blue. There's basketball field in the Center. The big yard on the left side and baseball yard on the right side. It still early morning. Myungsoo is the type of the first one to come and become the last one to leave. It doesn't mean that he is such a nerd or diligent person. He just too lazy to sociliaze with the others so he often avoided the student. Myungsoo glanced up at the building. "I'm going to check the rooftop."

He carefully scans the school since that's his first time to be there. But the construction wasn't that complicated so he could easily found the rooftop. He slowly open the door and fortunately it wasn't locked. He carefully steps in. The rooftop looks in a mess because it was used as storage as well. Myungsoo yawns widely. Since he wasn't brought his painting stuff so he decided to sleep before the class. Myungsoo looks around and finally finds the best spot at the corner. He walks towards the bench and lays next to the bench. He tries to close his eyes and sleep. But just a couple minutes he closed his eyes, some noise was heard.

"Gezz, that Chun Sik moron, he always avoid the cleaning duty so I have to it by my self again. Aigoo, why did this place look more messy than before. Where's the broom? Aish." a loud grumpy voice was heard. Myungsoo kept his eyes close, listening to the voice. He didn't move or open his eyes because he didn't want to meet whoever this guy. The other sound was heard, this time was the sound of things being moved. Looks like the guy still couldn't find what he was searching for. Myungsoo just wait in silence.

"Assa, there you are." the voice cheered. "Ouch, aish, who put the golf stick here." that voice was grumbled again. Myungsoo's lips curve into a thin line, listening to the cute voice before him. In a second, he could changes his mood so easily and for no reason Myungsoo finds that rather cute.

"I need to hurry up and finish the duty. And then kick Chun Sik's for skipping the cleaning duty again." the guy said to himself.

Heard that, Myungsoo moves a bit from his position. But he was so surprised when he feels something or  for exact someone approaching him. Myungsoo slowly opens his eyes and yawns widely, looking up.  'Oh my god, he is so beautiful.'

This is the very first time in his existence, Myungsoo was mesmerised by someone, and the top of that by a man. "Who are you?"

The boy couldn't help but laugh. 'His smile was so beautiful.' Myungsoo thought. 'His face was so perfect.' Myungsoo tried to hold back his first time feeling, he then raises his brows. "What are you laughing at?"

"It should be me to ask you like that. Who are you? What are you doing in our school?"

"Oh, I'm a new student here. I don't know what time the school start so I decided to come early, preventing to be late on my first day." Myungsoo keep his nervousness and explained expressionlessly but still try to be polite.

The tall boy stared at him for a while before smiles. "So you're new here. I'm Lee Sungyeol from class 3-B." Sungyeol held out his hand. 'His hand was so beautiful too.' Myungsoo looks at the new boy named Sungyeol and his hand before reaches it. "I'm Kim Myungsoo. I'm also in class 3-B. It means we will at the same class."

"Really? Woah, welcome then, chinggu." Sungyeol smiles widely at him.

'This is my first time someone called him Chinggu and it feels... Strange.' Myungsoo looked at him weirdly. "We are just met, how could you call me friend that easy?"

"Because you're my friend. Everything always has beginning. And also our friendship. Our meeting here is our beginning to become friends." Sungyeol smiles innocently at him. "Come with me, I will show you the class."

'This man was so strange yet cute.' Myungsoo was looking at him cluelessly.

"Come on, class will start soon and I still have to clean the class." Sungyeol called out.

'Maybe this school doesn't look bad.' Myungsoo then follows him out.

End of Flashback

 

"Myung, we are here." Woohyun's voice took Myungsoo back from his train of thoughts. "Come, Sungyeol is waiting for you."

Myungsoo turns to Woohyun, his expression was complicated. Suddenly he was hesitated to come in. And Woohyun seems feel it. "Why? Are you afraid?"

Myungsoo doesn't reply.

"You're finally here so at least please see him just for a while."

"I.. Don't know what I feel. Everything is so... Weird." Myungsoo turns away.

"I have brought you here so don't expect me to let you go that easy." Woohyun stated in cold but still friendly attitude. He gets out from the car. "Come on, I'm waiting."

Myungsoo glances out, he hesitantly walks out. They walk into the hospital in silence. It was obvious what Myungsoo was thinking of but his way looks unsteady.

"At this time, ommuni and Gyu maybe are waiting on Sungyeol."

"Gyu? You mean Kim Sunggyu, Sungyeol's bestfriend from high school?"

Woohyun nods. He stops in front of the glass door. "We are here."

Myungsoo stops his way, glancing to the door before him. He stares at the door blankly. Woohyun slowly opens the door and steps in. But instead follows him, Myungsoo just kept staring at the door.

"Myung, please come in." Myungsoo gasped at his voice. His face was looked like as if he has seen ghost. He looked at Woohyun before awkwardly steps in. Inside the room, Sunggyu was sitting next to Sungyeol's bed. Heard someone come in, Sunggyu turned around. He widened his eyes in surprise for what he seen.

"K..Kim Myungsoo?!" Sunggyu almost yell.

Myungsoo nods slightly at Sunggyu before glances at the lying man on the bed. Sunggyu turns to the lying man as well. "Yeol..  He..." Sunggyu mumbled softly.

Myungsoo walks in awkward, approaching Sungyeol's bed while Woohyun just watched him on the doorstep. Myungsoo stops his way a couple way from Sungyeol’s bed. He stares at Sungyeol’s face for a moment. “He still the same.” His voice was really soft but clear enough for Sunggyu who was standing near him to hear.

“Yeah, he is as handsome as our high school Sungyeol, the choding.” Sunggyu smiles bitterly, looking at his bestfriend’s face. Myungsoo didn’t say anything, he just keep staring at the sleeping beauty before him. For a moment, there’s an awkward silence surrounding them.

“Gyu, may you go with me to the cafetaria? I haven’t ate anything since last night.” Woohyun suddenly broke the silence, making Sunggyu turns to him. Woohyun gave him a meaningful look before turn to the door. Sunggyu glances back at Myungsoo who was still stuck on his own world. “We’ll be back. Please say something to Sungyeol, make him wake up.” Sunggyu pats Myungsoo’s back lightly before walks out.
