Kibum’s Dilemma…

Meanwhile on Kibum’s side, he is currently driving on his way home – Taemin and him’s place; thinking…

“It has to be tonight, I need to talk to Taemin
(which accidentally his eyes lead him to their
sort of engagement ring – bites his lips)…
Damn…this is going to be painful…
I don’t want to hurt Taeminnie but I love
Minnie and I want to be with my kids – my family…

(his eyes starting to fill with tears…softly says)
I am so sorry Taeminnie…I love you so much but…
I need to go back…
(then lets his tears run freely down his cheeks)…”
 

Kibum gets his cellphone to let Taemin know about his coming home. After several attempts begins to wonder why the other did not answer to any of his calls, then he calls on Onew thinking Taemin is with him and thus, dials the phone and waits for a respond…

Onew:             Hello…Kibum-ssi…

Kibum:             (smiles seeing Onew on screen)
                        Hyung… good evening…
                        sorry to bother you this late…

Onew:             (smiles) It is okay…so what can I do for you…?

Kibum:             (shakes his head) No hyung…
                        I just want to ask whether Taemin is with you…

Onew:             (shake his head) No… He is not…
                       (curious tone) Why…did he suddenly change
                        his number that you can not be able to reach him…?

Kibum:             (shaking his head) No… hyung…
                        I have been calling him several times now and
                        he would not answer any of my calls…
                        So, I was thinking perhaps he has forgotten his mobile
                        or he is with you…

Onew:             (on a concern tone) Kibum-ssi…
                        I am sorry but perhaps…
                       I think something is bothering Taemin…

Kibum:             (eyes widen) Why what happened…?

Onew:             His cheerful demeanor has somehow
                       changed to a rather sulken one…
                       right after he told me that you where with
                       Minho-ssi during the twins’ visit.

Kibum:             (sighs) I knew this is bound to happen… What's more…?

Onew:             He called me to ask about your whereabouts…
                       I am sorry Kibum-ssi…

Kibum:             Hyung… you don’t have to apologize.
                        Thank you… bye and thank you…

Onew:             (nods) You are most welcome Kibum-ssi… bye…

Right after talking with Onew, Kibum tries one more time contacting Taemin however same situation happens – the latter did not respond as as result, Kibum concern grows immediately and worries about the other’s whereabouts; speeds up his driving however careful just enough speed to be able to reach their place as quickly as possible.

Making it in fifteen minutes; he carefully parks his car then quickly gets out of it heading towards the lift thinking worriedly about Taemin. While walking in the direction to their home, he could sense something that is off and it concerns him a lot. Remembering Taemin during their early years, he never realized how the other felt for him so that the way Taemin manifested his feelings came like as sort of infatuation which he only brushed it off until recently after coming back from his own senses; he finally realized how intensely powerful Taemin’s love is for him.

Whatever fault Taemin had done during that time he was under amnesia Kibum could not afford to get mad at the latter but somehow felt guilty that at this point in time, he might end up hurting him. Kibum shakes his head just thinking about it – takes a deep breath and stares at the door – gently grabs the door knob and twists it.

He gently opens it then and peeks inside – much to his surprise the place is so dark and quiet. Kibum enters noiselessly then switches on the diffused type of lights and thus, softly calls Taemin…

“Taeminnie…Baby Tae….. I am back…”

Kibum for a moment stops to wait for an answer and sadly there is no response from the expectant so that he too, in a same way as Taemin, searches for the latter; firstly, inside their room thinking the other is taking a shower then moves on to other areas except the living area. He puffs walking away from his private room as the place he lastly thought that Taemin might be and when finding out the other is not around, feels overly alarmed swiftly walks towards the living room then suddenly at a standstill gasps when he hears soft blurry staggered sniffles. A sudden skepticism occurs in Kibum’s mind debating whether his mind is playing a trick on him…then again…

“(hics – soft gentle cries)…Key….”
 

 His heart pops out in panic and searches for the source of the saddest sound he has ever heard…

“Ke..key…hhmm…(hics)…”

Kibum gasps that his heart feels heavy rapidly strides the hallway to have a better view of Taemin, switches other diffused lights – roaming his desperate eyes finally spotting Taemin, and catches his breath after seeing the latter curled in a ball sleeping while whimping like a lost puppy. He surveys the surrounding and instantly feels the atmosphere overflowing with cries of sorrow and the sweetness of a cream vanilla cake aroma candle – it’s like the scent of sapphire skies and a frosty wind early in the morning however the energy that emanates the environment is so sad that it makes someone want to cry.

Undeniably like being pulled forcefully by an unexplainable weighty gravity, he suddenly finds himself streaming in tears while kneeling infront of Taemin’s sleeping unconsciously whimpering state…stuttering…

“Tae…minnie… please…
I…just hope and praying…
(gently Taemin’s hair) …
when the time comes…
you’d be very strong to accept my decision…”

As his hands travel moving downward, he suddenly feels a sudden hardening object just a bit below Taemin’s chest – out of curiosity despite of his condition, checks on what’s the other is holding securely like never letting it go from his hands and thus, cautiously and inchly takes it out from Taemin’s tight embrace only to be astonished when after seeing it – a happy and cuddly picture of them together at one of the many vacations they had. As a result, Kibum gulps and chokes at his own liquid softly coughing it out due to the overwhelming tightening of his chest letting him do a sudden take of deep air and quietly exhales it for relief.

And thus, what follows next without a sound, he tenderly carries Taemin’s body front hug manner carefully lays the latter’s head unto his shoulder letting his hand falls on the back to apply gentle to settle down the other’s distressed cries following a soft and assuring words…

“hush….ssshh…Taeminnie….sleep….
don’t cry….am here….Key is back….”

And just like that, Taemin instantly calms down like a baby that also suddenly causes Kibum to give out a sad sympathetic smile – gently, he then walks in the direction of their room and carefully laying his back against the soft silky bed keeping Taemin on top of him moving carefully not to wake the other.

As soon as he settles his body down on the bed, he pulls the linen and covers both of their bodies then after Kibum continuously Taemin’s body and at times sings a sweet lullaby for the other to mostly calm and create a better sleeping atmosphere. Kibum continuously rubs Taemin’s body until he also drifts away to slumber.
