Day Off
Value of LoveMorning of the next day came with the daylight shining the rays in small gap between the curtains telling Hakyeon to woke up because it's kinda late already. Hakyeon woke up eyeing his clock punching him hard that it's already 8:00 AM. Exhausted or not, replenished or not, Hakyeon prayed and reached out for his phone beside his alarm clock who didn't bother him in his sleep that's why he woke up late. Sliding the screen open because he didn't put passcode or pattern code to lock his phone, the message from their manager that today is the group's dayoff cancelling their schedule planned yesterday gave him an upper cut jab that made him jumped out and up from his bed.
Today is their dayoff but they had to go for a day of healing. Their manager had booked them in private resort for the whole day. He knew already the why behind this sudden dayoff or healing or whatsoever they call it. Without preamble, he walked out his bedroom and wake up s.
Hakyeon stood up in front of the first door he approached. Didn't know what to do, will he knock until the member inside woke up? Or will he shout even the members hated it? Hakyeon didn't just know what to do. But still he knocked and shout moderately enough to be heard to the other side.
“Leo!”
Hakyeon called for the main vocal but the said person didn't barge to give him a reply. He continued knocking and shouting moderately until a hand laid on his shoulder scaring the daylight out of him.
“Taek-...Leo?” Hakyeon jumped from being surprised.
The main vocal looked at the leader with a questioning look. One, why Hakyeon was so shocked? Is waking the members making Hakyeon nervous? Like the shouting will result of the members scolding him? Two, Why did Hakyeon called the singing prodigy by its stage name?
“Leo...you're awake already.” Hakyeon averted his eyes. “I'll wake the others.” Hakyeon turned his back and continued on the next door without giving Taekwoon anything to do yet.
Taekwoon watched the leader clenched and unclenched his hand before knocking at the doors and swallowing thickly before calling out for the names of the members. As the main vocal continued watching Hakyeon, he noticed the leader calling the members' name with so much distant and the callings felt like the leader didn't know the members well.
“Ken!” “Ravi!” “Hongbin!” “Hyuk!”
The constant knocking and alarming from the leader soon woke up the members. But they remained inside their bedrooms.
Hakyeon went back to the kitchen only to walked out and get back to his own room because Taekwoon was still on the kitchen. Hakyeon didn't want to disturb the vocalist. Hakyeon didn't mind packing his clothes because he has no reason to go with the members for their leisure. He made a call to his friend, and while still on the call, the door of his open without even a knock of warn. He rushed the call and put it down eyeing one of entered his room.
“Hakyeon-hyung...” The younger called out for Hakyeon but Hakyeon just looked at him skeptically.
“N.” Hakyeon said eyeing the member wasn't ready to continue his sentence.
“Hyung...” Jaehwan looked straight through the eyes of his leader looking for his kindness. “What plans do we have today?”
Without even paying the younger vocalist of his eyesight, the leader answered. “I'll talk about it later. Get out of my room.” Hakyeon said blatantly.
Jaehwan flinched. Not knowing what to say, he directed himself out of the room and went straight to the living room seeing the four had gathered already. He sat beside the maknae.
They waited for Hakyeon to emerged out from his room to inform them of what awaits them today. Leaning on one another, talking about little things in a friendly way, they sat until the subject came out his bedroom. Simultaneously, they looked at him in full attention. Eyeing him with full of longingness. Felt like Hakyeon has only been back from a month of away schedule from their dorm even though they were with him yesterday physically.
Hakyeon stood in front of them, all eyes on him, he announced of their day off today that they will go to a place to heal themselves from tiredness. Not telling the members that he himself will not go with them. Upon informing the members, they went inside their respective rooms with much delightment and excitement for the one day vacation and packed their belongings. Hakyeon went back inside his bedroom too.
One by one, they gathered at their living rooms with their not so full bags as they will only go to a day of leisure not a week. Looking at each other, they had a wary look as to why their leader haven't opted out his room yet. Wonshik took the initiation to call out for their leader.
“Hakyeon-hyung?” Wonshik knock once and peek his head before entering the room seeing the owner was still in his comfortable clothes lying on his bed.
The man sat up only to give the rapper a blank face. “N.” He said.
“And?” Wonshik inquired.
“N not Hakyeon.” Hakyeon stood up and is ready to go out his room but block by the man standing in front of his door.
Wonshik grab Hakyeon's wrist to stopped him from his trance. “Hak-”
“N.” Hakyeon cut the rapper's calling for his name at the same time of pulling off his wrist from Wonshik's grip.
“Hakyeon-hyung...” Stubborn he may result but Wonshik continued calling the leader by its true name since that's what he'd been used to. “Why didn't you prepared yourself? I thought we had-”
“Get out. I need to send you off.” Hakyeon pushed Wonshik lightly.
Hakyeon walked through their kitchen and open one cab from above. Pulled out a paper bag and peek inside before heading to the living room again. Hakyeon made his way to Taekwoon and hand him the paper bag.
“I made you all salads again. You might get hungry while on the run. Manager-hyung told me you all liked it...Let's go!” Hakyeon motioned his hand for the members to get out but the members stood like statue. Hakyeon with a few steps away from the door was stopped from his spot sensing the members were not following him. He went back to see them.
“Why weren't you all following me? Manager-hyung is waiting outside the building. He must be cold there hurry!” Hakyeon walked out the room even he felt the members were still not following him but he continued.
As soon as they heard the click sound from the door indicating that Hakyeon was outside already and had the door closed, Sanghyuk broke the silence.
“I thought Taekwoon-hyung made it?” Sanghyuk asked looking at each of his hyungs didn't know who to asked properly.
“Yeah I thought so...” Wonshik added.
“We were energized that day because of that salad. Even if were late we had a lot of good vibes in our body that's why we made a good guesting that day.” Jaehwan further narrated what brought them by the simple breakfast.
“I didn't make it. I made nothing. I only took it out from the fridge since Hyukkie is hungry that morning.” Leo said robotly.
“So if Hakyeon-hyung really made it, and Taekwoon-hyung made nothing...” Hongbin didn't know how to continue. But he knows he'll be mocked by the members once he ended his sentence. "...it was still Hakyeon-hyung who made that fruits and shakes?"
“Yah!” Wonshik yelled moderately. “You didn't even share the fruits. How stingy you are!” But Wonshik laughed because he didn't mean to mock his friend.
“And yet...” Jaehwan looked down feeling guilty.
“And yet we-...I made him feel bad yesterday.” Sanghyuk almost choked in his words.
Hongbin patted the back of their maknae to ease him.
Taekwoon remained silent. But smile is slowly dipping in his lips looking at the youngsters realizing what they did.
“I think Hakyeon-hyung will not come with us.” Jaehwan commented like he was a kicked puppy.
“I think so too...seeing him not fully clothe and he didn't even mind packing his clothes...” Hongbin supplied even more for them to be woken up from what they had done yesterday.
“I think Hakyeon-hyung was still hurt...” Sanghyuk said urgently after Hongbin ended his sentence. “...and I hated that.” Sanghyuk almost cried.
“I'll make him follow...” Taekwoon announced confidently. “Let's go!”
