Knock
Value of LoveTaekwoon rubbed his eyes weakly and stretched out his body having a long well rest. Maybe because he didn't wake up from the everyday annoying voice sounding almost like an alarm clock. After brushing his teeth and washing his face, as if scheduled, he directed himself to the kitchen to take his daily coffee dosage. Holding the steaming cup, sipping in the hot pleasure, Taekwoon was in a very good mood. But his current happy state wore off quickly when their manager called him then he just realized Hakyeon is not in the kitchen who must now waiting for their manager's call.
“Yes hyung?”
“Are you all ready?”
“Ready for what?”
“Schedule.”
“Schedule?” Taekwoon looked around finding Hakyeon but the tan man was really nowhere to be found. Taekwoon already knew that Hakyeon must have told him this thing beforehand.
“Hakyeon didn't tell you?”
“Give me 20 minutes hyung. We'll be ready!” Taekwoon ended the call and looked at the kitchen clock, 8:45 AM.
He rushed barging into Hakyeon's bedroom but the owner was not there. He went back to the kitchen to pick up his phone to call their leader. After he tried for the third time, Hakyeon is not picking up. Frustrated of what's happening, he saw a note stick on the fridge.
‘Kids your sched will start at 10 AM. I didn't shout at your doors cuz you hated it much so I just knocked. Get up already.’
Taekwoon saw 'Hakyeon, 8:00 AM' at the bottom right corner of the pink-colored sticky note. Even without the name, Taekwoon would know who wrote it by the penmanship. Without wasting any more time, Taekwoon banged every door and shouted as loud as he could to wake the sleeping babies. After hearing morning whimpers, from the youngsters, because of the sudden woke up growls made by the eldest vocalist, Taekwoon rushed into the bathroom and take a bath.
The sleeping children woke up almost simultaneously and quickly emerged out from their respective rooms. Because of the time limit, they argued on who to take the shower first. But still managed the four of them to take a bath. Jaehwan took the shower first after Taekwoon and noticed the new items in their own cabs that the other vocalist must not have noticed. Upon finishing, he went out and informed the others that they don't need to go down and buy things, not long ago that they are pinpointing at each other on who to rushed on buying their needs.
“Calm down guys, I think Hakyeon hyung had managed to buy us things.” Jaehwan announced while drying his hair with a towel.
Wonshik entered the bathroom and take the turn to shower.
Sanghyuk goes to Taekwoon and annoyed the main vocalist that he's hungry and cannot go to schedule unless he can eat something.
Hongbin, hungry same as Sanghyuk, raid their fridge for foods. Hongbin spotted the container with fruits and grab it and put it inside his bag without letting the others know.
Taekwoon manage to grab a hold of the fridge before Hongbin could closed it, rummaging the fridge if there will be edible foods for the kids. Upon eyeing the salads, he took it out all and put them each inside the bag of the members and looked for dressers perfect match for the salads, unbelievably eyeing the plastic bottles of some new kind of dressers standing still inside their cabs, he pulled it out too and bring.
The five of them walked out from the building and there was their manager waiting for them half an hour earlier already. Upon approaching their manager, they receive their morning scolding breakfast.
“Why are you guys late?”
“Hakyeon-hyung didn't wake us up.” Wonshik spoke.
“What?” Their manager asked.
“He did.” Taekwoon said.
“He didn't hyung.” Sanghyuk added telling their manager.
“Ok enough let's get in.”
They're eating salads while in the car drove by their manager. Everyone seems like they had a fight because they deemed so quiet on the run, just because everyone where in deep enjoyment of taking in every flavor exploding in their mouth upon eating their salads. They haven't tasted it before. It was anew but it taste familiar, they felt, without the braveness of speaking up how delicious the salad is. Everyone became happy and feel lit again after their drive and breakfast. But end up tired and exhausted after their schedule.
The five of them were gathered in the living room because their manager told them to wait for Hakyeon. But they wouldn't cost their rest waiting for the latter if it weren't for the command of their manager. Relieved, because they couldn't wait any more longer, the subject came in the dorm along with their manager. The five gave each other doubtful looks as to why their manager came in as well. Expecting some sort of another wave of scolding, the five of them readied themselves.
Without letting Hakyeon even change his clothes or even drink a glass of water, their manager grab Hakyeon and push him down to sit and complete the missing spot to connect a hexagon facing each other. Hakyeon, shocked from the sudden action, remained sat down. Noticing that the members didn't even greet him when he got back or even help him detangled his jacket. Small things yet meant so big for Hakyeon. Bringing him back to the reality from his thoughts, the manager spoke up from the chair outside their indian sit formation.
“Can anyone tell me what had happened this morning?”
As if the six of them were deafs, no one can put out words to explain.
“Does any one of you not know what had happened early this morning? To inform you, I was scolded by the staffs from your schedule because we were late!” The manager explained. Of course, he mean it for the five members, except Hakyeon.
“I have sched early this morning. I didn't know.” Hakyeon spoke up.
The four of them, except Taekwoon, sighed out of getting annoyed. Annoyed that Hakyeon is playing safe around their manager. Sanghyuk cannot take it anymore and speak.
“This hyung didn't woke us up. That's why were late.” Pointing at Hakyeon
“Language Sanghyuk.” Taekwoon warned the younger because of his language and mean actions.
“I did.” Hakyeon defended himself.
“You didn't hyung.” Jaehwan added in a calm voice, yet irritation is still evident.
“We woke up because Taekwoon-hyung banged our door.” Hongbin explained.
Hakyeon was shocked from the main vocalist's action but doubtful as to why did Taekwoon did that.
“Taekwoon-hyung woke us up with his shoutings and bangings.” Wonshik narrated.
Taekwoon still remained silent. Not knowing where to go, Hakyeon's side which is in high end of being blamed but he thoroughly knew Hakyeon has his reasons why, or the kids who had already allied themselves.
“Hakyeon?” The manager called out for Hakyeon who's tearing up from the situation.
“I really did.” Having no strength anymore to hold back tears swelled up his eyelids, they escaped Hakyeon's eyes.
Taekwoon raised his hands in attempt to caress the leader's back to ease his pain and made him feel he's not alone, just to put it back down in a split second.
“If you really did, why these folks didn't wake up early?”
Hakyeon dipped down his head for everyone not to see his tears rolling out. Wiped his tears left on his cheeks, he looked up and spoke.
“You guys said yo-” before Hakyeon could finished his sentence, Taekwoon did.
“We told him his annoying. Every morning when he shouts to woke us up, we told him his annoying. Especially you, Wonshik and Sanghyuk, you told Hakyeon to stop roaring daily morning as if he's in the jungle. That's why Hakyeon knocked at our doors to wake us up.”
Hakyeon was knocked down. His heart was finally torn apart. He cannot take it anymore. He had done everything for them yet he could only get the exact opposite thing he gave them. The leader thought, the members will thank him for replacing their bathroom supplies, thank him for making them salads for breakfast, thank him for just knocking instead of shouting. Hakyeon thought by just knocking at their doors every morning, it will be like knocking at their hearts to open and wake up too. But he was wrong. It was him instead who had been knocked down, K.O.
