Sunny's POV

 

I am sitting on the couch munching the peppero that Xiumin gave to me a while ago..

 

Kris and Luhan are both busy packing their things for the sports clinic.. err, too bad I wasn't part of any team right now that I am not able to join them. OTL I'll be left in this sad room..

 

By the way, if you're wondering, yes we (Luhan and I) are still squatters in Kris's room.. The ceiling in our room is OK already, but Principal Kwon asked the interior designer to redesign our room.. The same goes with the others so the sports clinic is a good timing..

 

“I'll head first, gonna be meeting the two kiddos.” Luhan announced

 

I looked at Kris's reaction with the mention of the two younger guys- Kai and Sehun, he just nodded and kept packing..

 

“Bestfriend, you better take good care of yourself arasso? Aigoo. I'll really gonna miss you. You should sign up to the swimming team next time so you could join us!” he said to me with teary eyes

 

“I'll be fine bestfriend, just get back to me alive and kicking good. I can't afford to loose you, you know..”

 

“Omo.. Soongyu ah, let me love you baby!!!” he tackle attacked me and I chuckled real hard, aigoo... I heard Kris scoffed what's wrong? Anyway I returned Luhan's tight hug then released him..

 

“Yah, stop doing that. I don't have any interest in men.” I joked

 

“I AM NOT GAY!!!!!!!!!!” Luhan answered seriously..

 

“I am kidding pabo!” I said and poked his mouth with a peppero..

 

“Aish.. OK. OK. OK. I'll head first, see you after 2 weeks!!! Yo Kris, I'll see you at the airport.”

 

“Have fun and train hard!!” I said, bidding him goodbye while Kris just said yeah..

 

~o~

 

“Hey, can you help me?”Kris said out of the blue, I think he finished packing already or whatever, after Luhan left an hour ago, the room turned to dead silence

 

“Yeah sure, what can I do?” I said rising from my seat

 

Without any words, he took my hand and we went out of the room...

 

“Hey, where are we going?” I said as we took the exit from our school

 

“You'll see”

 

Kris didn't let go of my hand until we reached the bus stop..

 

“Kris, I bet you are aware that you have to get to the airport at 4pm today right? It's 12noon already. Where are we going?”

 

“Can't you just shut your mouth.. you'll know where we are going when we reached our destination” he glanced at me while sitting on the shed waiting for the bus to arrive

 

“Omo..” I hugged myself and looked at him with frightened eyes.. “Don't tell me you're going to me!!!”

 

“MWO?!!!!!!!!!!!”

 

“Where are you taking me?!!!!”

 

“No wonder Luhan and you are bestfriends, you two are both green-minded” he mumbled

 

“YA!!!! I CAN HEAR YOU”

 

“I didn't say you can't” he said

 

“tsh. Now I am stuck with someone who I don't know what will gonna do to me.”

 

“For God's sake Lee Soongyu, I am still normal. Or is it you who is daydreaming of doing something with me” he said with those, ugh OK, I admit deadly yet y cold eyes

 

“Aish.. why would I daydream something like that.. that's hideous you know”

 

“Mwo?! Hideous?”

 

“Yeah. You think you're y and you knew it? Well, nuh-uh. I'm ier than you. And I have a lot of fangirls too.”

 

“Oh yeah? I heard your fangirls are those who are in the age of 8 years old below.. coz you got the same height as them, shorty”

 

“YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!! That's below the belt!!”

 

He smirked and dragged me to the bus which I didn't notice has arrived already, how dare is he to ridicule me.. T__T but damn, reality really bites..

 

~o~

 

Inside the bus, Kris became quiet. We are sitting side by side, I kept my gaze on the road, guessing on where we are going whilst he was lost in his own little world.

 

Living in the US made it impossible for me to know all the places in Seoul. Though we promote here as SNSD, to be honest I am still nothing but an ignorant idol.

 

Kris and I stepped out of the bus after a 30minute drive(?) well, I'm not sure.. and walked to somewhere I don't know.. OTL

 

Kris then stopped by a flower shop and bought a bouquet of baby breath.. omona.. are we going to meet his girl friend? Erm.. I don't wanna think about it. I don't even know if he have one now. Lol.

 

We walked again then went inside a convenience store, there he bought a soju and chocolates. The heck is this man have in mind?

 

After 15 more minutes of clueless and silent walk... I saw the sign that says “Yanghwajin Foreign Missionary Cemetery”

 

“Kris...” I finally decided to break the silence and ask him, “Are we going to visit someone?”

 

“Yeah..”

 

“Who?”

 

“You'll see, I'll introduce you to him” he said and I just nodded, no more questions.. zip your mouth Sunny Lee

 

~o~

(Please play this as you read the following.. ^^ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cfqeLQU_1o )

 

Finally, we arrived to the grave of Kris's dad, yeah I have the strong feeling about it..

'Kevin Wu'

 

Kris placed the flowers on the bottom of the tomb then opened the soju and poured half of its contents on the ground then placed the bottle near the flowers, he also opened the chocolate and placed it also beside the two. I stepped aside as a sign of respect as he bows on the tomb..

 

“Daddy, it's been a while.. How have you been? I'm sorry if I didn't visit you frequently.” he said, I was a foot away from him, I can't see his face but I can hear his voice cracking from crying... “I'm going to a sports clinic now.. I am back to playing the ball again.. but.... Dad? I am sorry for being a failure, I am trying my best now.. I wish that you are with me now.. Sehun and I are still not in good terms.. You still remember him right? My little brother?” for a while he stopped talking and I can see his shoulders vibrating and hear him sniff... At that moment all I wanna do is to hug him tight but who am I to do that? I clenched my fists and looked away.. I am so useless..

 

“Soongyu ah”

 

“Ne?” I looked at him and notice his puffy eyes

 

“Come here”

 

“Ah. Yeah”

 

“Daddy, I want you to meet this person who has brought back my dream to me”

 

I was so dumbfounded at what he said.. Oh no, Kris, I am the one who took everything from you.. remember? I am the cause of your injury? “A-anyeonghasaeyo Mr. Wu” I bowed and paid my respect in front of the grave of the man who has brought Kris to this world.

 

“I bet he's happy to see you” he said while plucking unwanted weeds in front of the tomb

 

“Why?”

 

“I just feel it.”

 

“aah...” I can't say anything more, guilt is eating my insides.. I am the cause why he was injured that's all I know. I am really sorry Mr. Wu.

 

“Dad left my mom when I was 3 months old. Sehun is my half brother”

 

“I heard about you and Sehun being half brothers..”

 

“Yeah.. My mom married when I turned 1 year old, she and my dad weren't married..When I started kindergarten at the age of 4, I often get into fights because kids will call me a bastard.. that I am an illegitimate child. That I am a child of shame.. My mom will always ask what happened but I always say that it's nothing. Appa, that's what I call Sehun's dad never reprimanded me though, instead he will take me and Sehun to the park and play with us then he always say, 'no matter what, you are my son by heart.. I love you..' those words have become my strength but still a lot of questions are on my little mind back then.. One day on the car alone with my mom I asked her about my real father.. She put the car to a sudden halt and stared at me..”

 

He looked at me and gave me a weak smiled, I smiled back to him, encouraging him to speak himself up...

 

“She told me the truth. That dad left her when I was three months old.. I asked her if she still love him.. she said he will always have a place in her heart.. then she asked me if I do. I didn't answer because I don't really know then. I think I hate him back then... Years have passed and I just shook away the thoughts of my real dad then on my elementary graduation, appa said that he has a huge gift to me.. We were having our dinner at a fancy restaurant and a man with a balding head approached our table. He was greeted by my appa.. and my mom greeted him too while Sehun and I are quietly eating.. Then out of the blue my mom said, 'Krissy honey, he is your dad'.. I stared at the balding man and said 'go away, I don't need you' I know that it's harsh but that's really what I feel.. ”

 

“Is that so?”

 

“Yeah, I stormed out of the restaurant and ran away, not knowing where I am headed to. I am so angry, so pissed, I despised that guy.. why does he even have to show up, I am happy without him.. that's all I have in my mind back then.. After exhaustion took me, I started to walk and when reality hits me, I looked around me and then I sat on the pavement and started crying. I don't know where I am and I don't even have a phone to contact my mom nor do I have a money for a payphone.. Hours have passed and I just kept on crying while hugging my knees.. I cried for a lot of reasons.. for seeing my dad who has abandoned me and for being in a strange place.”

 

“How did you get home?”

 

“I fell asleep from crying so hard and woke up inside a car, I looked sideways and realized that I am beside the driver's seat, I looked to my left and saw him.. the guy I hate the most.. 'I thought I will lose you again' he said”

 

“So your dad found you?”

 

“Yeah. My real dad. I don't know how he did it.”

 

“You know, parents have a radar,, it's called the radar of love..Maybe he used that..”

 

“I-I don't know..”

 

“So how did you guys got along?”

 

“I am fond of basketball ever since I am young, maybe my mom told him about that and the day after I first saw him, he came to the court where I always practice.. I actually don't care about his presence then, then I grew tired of him sitting on the bleacher everyday, the whole day.. I came to him and asked him what does he wants and he simply answered 'forgiveness'.. I was still young then so I challenged him to play basketball with me, if he won, then he will earn my forgiveness and if not, he better stay out of my life”

 

“I think I knew the outcome already”

 

“Yeah...I lost drastically.. I never knew that he could play that well. Like a pro.. Days have passed and we seem to be patching up, my heart is softening to him.. 'till the day I asked him the real reason why he left my mom...and... and..”

 

“And?”

 

“He collapsed. I was so shocked, I yelled like those you see in dramas..thankfully a passerby helped us and called an ambulance..my mom and appa came after the doctor called them We learned that my dad is suffering from liver cancer and that he only have 6 months to live. Appa left umma and I to guard my dad because he has to stay with Sehun in the house. I just stared at my dad as tears flow from my little eyes, there are a lot of machines attached to his body.. I learned from my mom that my dad is actually a national basketball player.. After a week, my dad asked the doctors to discharge him..Then My mom, dad and I went out to eat for the very first time.. we're like a real family then.. Dad confessed that he's already sick back then and that he left my mom because he don't want to be a burden.. until the doctor told him a few weeks ago that he will not last long.. That was the time he decided to see us.. before he leave for good. I cried so hard.. in front of them.. I cried like I was still 4 years old..My mom also cried.. she told my dad that she still loves him no matter what.. he hugged us both and said that my mom is the only girl he has loved and that he was thankful that she found Sehun's dad..”

 

“Did you stayed with your dad then?”

 

“He stayed with us.. Appa said that dad can stay with us. He lived in our house, he sleeps with me. He plays with Sehun and I and sometimes the five of us.. It's funny right? Having two dads and one mom in one house. But so what? I love them both.. dad and I play basketball every afternoon, he thought me a lot of styles.. One fine morning, he took me out for a walk. We stayed in the park. We talked about a lot of things.. He told me to keep playing basketball and don't give up on my dreams. He told me to love my appa, my mom and my little brother.. Never did I know that it's his last day on earth.”

Kris cleared his throat and looked at me.. “Sorry if I bored you with my story”

 

I shook my head and said, “Aniya.. I am happy that you are keeping your promise to your dad”

 

“Soongyu ah,”

 

“Yeah?”

 

“Can you hug me and say 'You can do it?'”

 

“What?”

 

“My dad always do that whenever I lose my self esteem”

 

I don't know how or why but I just then nodded and hugged Kris..I patted his head then his back as I say “Kris, you can do it.”
