Ch. 22- Pancakes With a Sprinkle of Tears

The Raven and the Dove

Sungyeol's POV:

My mind blanked out when I saw Myungsoo's scar on his left arm, and I booked it out there. So many things were going through my mind that I didn't know that I tripped and fell onto the floor. I got up and sat on the bed trying to sort out my thoughts.

Why did I just say 'the' scar? It's not like I have seen that scar before.........or have I? If I have seen that scar before, then why can't I remember? The scar looks so familiar, but it just feels so weird. Why did I say 'the' scar? Why? Why?

My head started to hurt as I was trying to sort out my thoughts, and I had to get my pills from my nightstand. I opened the drawer, took out two pills from the drawer, swallowed them, and I laid on the bed. The pain started going away, but my thoughts still bothered me. After a few minutes of still trying to sort out my thoughts, I decided that it was late, and fell asleep.

------------------------------------------

The next day.....

 

I felt the warmth of the sun hitting my face and got up from bed. I went into the bathroom to wash myself up, and when I got out, I could smell he scent of coffee. I went downstairs to see Myungsoo brewing coffee and making breakfast for us. A smile crept onto my face at the sight of Myungsoo cooking breakfast. He was wearing an apron, he was flipping pancakes, and reading a cookbook at the same time. I walked downstairs slowly so that he wouldn't notice me, and I crept behind him silently.

" BOO!" Myungsoo jumped when I scared him, and he turned at me with an angry and annoyed expression; which I thought was pretty cute.

" Yah! I'm trying to cook right now! What would have happened if I let the pancake fall onto the floor!?" I laughed at him because he was worried about the pancake falling onto the floor instead of the possibility of him burning himself when I scared him.

" You know pancakes aren't that hard to make."

" I know that! I'm just making sure I do it right!" I could see him blushing and that only made him more adorable.

" You know you look like a wife cooking breakfast for the husband." He turned around and lightly hit me in the chest.

" Who says I'm the wife here and who says you are the husband!" I smirked at him and then I left him to finish cooking. I walked over towards the living room and the t.v., and when I turned it on, Kris was on there. It was an interview and it seemed like Kris was the guest, and so I decided to watch it.

" Hello today our guest is Kris of the EXO Chinese branch."

" Hello it is nice to meet all of you! Please take care of me."

" Okay let's get to the point. What made you come to Korea all of a sudden?"

" Well, I haven't seen my cousin, Suho, for a long time. Also both branches needed to discuss future plans, and since I'm the heir for the Chinese branch, I came here to discuss them."

" I see. I see. Is that the only reason though?"

" Yes. I'm sure that is the only reason."

" Hm, interesting. Anyways, this is a question all the girls want to know: do you have any interest in anybody?"

" That is a secret."

" Come on! Please tell us! The nation wants to know! Is the person close to you?"

" Haha, yes the person is close to me."

" Omo! Really! Please tell us more!"

" Sorry, but that is for me to keep a secret, and you to figure out."

I quickly shut it off when I heard Myungsoo say breakfast was done. I walked into the dining room and sat down. Myungsoo put out the pancakes out in front of me, and I digged in right away. My thoughts kept going back to what Kris said though. He likes somebody that is close with him.

How come he has never told me? He would usually tell me these sort of stuff, but how come I didn't know that he likes somebody right now? Also the person is somebody who is close with him too! Weird. I wonder who the person is. Maybe I will ask him tomorrow.

" Sungyeol, is there something wrong?"

" Huh? Oh...um....nothing is wrong. Just thinking too much." I smiled at him to reassure him and it seemed like it worked. He just smiled back and went back to eat his pancakes. Then I remembered to say something.

" Myungsoo."

" Hm?"

" Your pancakes......"

" What about them?"

" Well......how can I say it?" Myungsoo was looking at me intently and I couldn't help but laugh.

" You jerk!" He tried to hit me but the table between us made it impossible for him and it only made me laugh harder. He blushed again and he went back to eat his pancakes again. We ate in silence, which was quite comfortable actually, and soon we finished our breakfast. I got up and took our plates, but before I went to put them into the sink, I whispered into Myungsoo's ear.

" Your pancakes.....were delicious." Then I left a blushing Myungsoo sitting in his chair and started doing the dishes.

----------------------------------------------------

 

Myungsoo's POV:

 

Aish! He has been like teasing me since the moment he woke up! I swear he isn't like this at all! He even hates teasing period! Sheesh! At least give me a warning when he decided to change personalities. I swear he has like a split personality.

My phone started ringing and I checked the caller id and it was Sungjong. I answered it to get a really excited Sungjong.

" Hyung, do want to hang out today!?" When he asked me I could feel myself get all excited, so I answered right away.

" Sure! Where and when?"

" How about in front of Paradise Café in about an hour?"

" Okay then! See you later!" I hung up and ran upstairs to my room to get ready. I dressed myself in a white v-neck shirt, black skinny jeans, and a red jacket. Then I ran back downstairs but then Sungyeol blocked my way to the door.

" Where are you going? Why are you dressed up too? You got a date or something?"

" You could say it's like a date. Well I'm going to go so seeya!" I slipped pass him and headed out the door.

" Hey be careful you got it!"

" Yes mom!" I yelled in reply because I was already far from the door and on the way to meeting with Sungjong.

----------------------------------------------------

 

When I arrived at the café, Sungjong was already sitting down with a drink in his hands. Though when I got closer to him, his expression looked sad and lonely. His expression really worried me so I hurried over to where he was. When I sat down he didn't even notice that I was there, so I had to speak to get his voice.

" Hello to Sungjong! Is there anybody in there?" His head spun towards me with a shocked expression.

" Oh hyung! Sorry, I didn't notice that you were there."

" I could tell. So tell what's up? How come you wanted to meet up today?"

" Um....how about we go stroll around for a bit?" He took my hand and we were out of the café in a second. Then he let go of my hand and I was disppointed at the sudden loss of warmth.

We started to stroll around the streets looking around and we played at the arcade too. We played so many games and I was the winner of most of them. Sungjong isn't very good at playing these sort of games, so technically I beat him in each game. I won a lot of tickets so I went over to the prize booth and tried to pick something out. That was when I saw a small, white teddy bear with a bow on it.

" I would like that teddy bear please." The worker gave me the bear while I gave him the tickets. I still had some leftover tickets so I decided to get something for Sungyeol too. While I was looking around I saw a keychain that has a dove on it.

" May I have that keychain right there." The worker took it out but then he took another keychain out with a raven on it.

" Here you can have this one too. They are sort of a package actually. Here you go."

" Thank you!" I took the keychains and the teddy bear and headed out where Sungjong was waiting for me.

" Took you a while."

" Sorry, I had a hard time choosing out a prize. Hey close your eyes." Sungjong did what I told him, put the keychains in my jacket pocket, and then held out the teddy bear in front of Sungjong's face.

" Open your eyes." He opened his eyes and he was shocked but happy. He happily took it from his arms and hugged me.

" Thank you so much hyung! It's so cute! I love it!" I hugged him back and we stood like that for a few minutes until I saw some people looking at us. I separated us, even though I didn't want to, and led him to the park.

-----------------------------------------------------

We were heading towards the park and found a bench to sit on. We were so tired from tired that sitting on the bench was going to prevent us from falling. I took out the drinks we bought on the way here and handed one over to Sungjong. We drank in silence until Sungjong spoke up, and what he told me shocked me.

" Hyung, it hurts." I saw him clenching his shirt; the place over his heart. I was starting to worry.

" What hurts? Tell me."

" My heart, it hurts. M-Minwoo....he is going out with Donghyun-sshi." My mind flashed back to the day of the fight.

" W-Wait. Isn't he the person who was bullying you and Minwoo on that day when the others and I had to fight him and his gang? Why is he dating him?"

" I-I don't know. But it hurts though. I-I like Minwoo, but he is dating him now. I don't get it! Did I do something wrong? Am I not good enough?" Tears started to fall from his face and I couldn't take the sight of him, so I pulled him into a hug. He started to cry even more and my heart clenched at the sound of his cries. I rubbed his back in comfort and told him everything was going to be okay. After a good 30 minutes, he stopped crying. I let him go and made him face me.

" Sungjong, let me tell you something. Even though you don't have Minwoo anymore, you still have me......um I mean you have the others and me, so don't be all sad okay!"

" H-Hyung."

" Whenever you need me, you can call me. Okay? So don't cry anymore." I pulled his face into a smile and we both started laughing.

" There that's better. A smile suits you more. Now how about we get you home, we have school tomorrow."  I stood up and offered my hand to Sungjong, and he took it. We walked hand in hand to his house, and it felt nice to be able to hold his hands. I dropped him off at his house and he gave me a hug before I left.

" Thanks for always being there for me."

" You're welcome. See you tomorrow." He let me go but before he went in, I gave him a peck on the cheek. I was glad that it was dark outside so that way he wouldn't have to see my face all red. I waved goodbye to him and I called for the driver and in a few minutes he was here.

----------------------------------------------------------

When I got home I could see the t.v. was still on. I slowly walked over to see Sungyeol asleep on the sofa and he was holding a book in his hand. The sight of him looked really cute and I couldn't help but smile. I walked over and took the book out of his hand and put it on the table. I looked at him closely and with the light from the t.v., I could see tear streaks on his face.

H-He was crying? Why was he crying?

I tried waking him up but he wouldn't budge, so I had to carry him into his room. I lifted him up, brought him upstairs, and put him on his bed. When I put him on his bed, he was mumbling something, but I couldn't make it out. I tucked him into bed and then went into my room. I took out the keychains from my jacket pocket and placed them on my desk and decided I will give it to him later. I washed up, flopped onto the bed, and fell asleep right away.

Chapter 56: You know I was never one to read a fanfic this long but I stick through it because its so damn good. I know that you were trying to show us that love slowly develop to an eternal love and it's hard to realize. I like this concept and I'm glad I stick through to the end and see how these characters grow.
