Meeting

Thank You

 

What the hell?? This is not my suitcase! Aiiiich now what? OMG my laptop is in there!

Kyuhyun didn’t have to open the suitcase to figure out it wasn’t his. Even though they are both from the same brand, but that one didn’t have a hospital tag on it or the silver zipper that he got when the original zipper handle broke. That was how he realized it wasn’t his. So he was furiously pulling at his hair and cursing his bad luck.

Not only did I have to drool over that weird stranger but now this? This is really not my day!

”Sir? Excuse me! Don’t you see that I was here before?”

”…”

”Hey old man! Get in line like everyone else!”

Kyuhyun was at Seoul Airport ready to fly to LA for a business trip. He was standing in line to register his luggage but as he turned his attention to pull out something from his bag, a middle aged man crossed him and stood in front of him.

”…”

”You’re not even looking at me?” Kyuhyun was starting to get impatient. He tapped on the stranger’s shoulder to get his attention and as he was about to start yelling, he didn’t. Instead he stood there dumbfounded, mouth slightly agape, staring at the man who was kindly smiling at him with the most beautiful tender smile he had ever seen.

When Kyuhyun didn’t utter a single word, he was soon faced by the man’s back again.

What the hell is wrong with me? Well, he’s gorgeous … that’s what’s wrong!

Kyuhyun sighed before reaching his phone and dialling the airport service number …

> LA WAX Airport, how may I help you? <

”Yes, my luggage have been switched and I need my damn suitcase right away!”

> Calm down sir. What’s your name so I can check in our system <

”Cho, Cho Kyuhyun”

> Just a second Mr.Cho … I’ll put you on hold <

“On hold? *sigh*”

> Mr.Cho. It says you did receive your luggage, so it probably got switched with another passenger <

”You think? Aaah why am I even speaking to you? Where’s your supervisor?”

> Relax Sir. At this point, there’s nothing we can do except wait for the other party that you switched luggage with, to press a complain <

“Are you ing kidding me? My whole work is in that suitcase! I need it NOW!”

> Sir there’s no need to curse. We hope you can understand that there’s nothing we can do until that person calls to inform about the switch <

“ARE YOU DAMN DEAF? I’M NOT CALLING FOR YOU TO GIVE ME THIS ! I NEED MY DAMN ING SUITCASE!”

Beep … Beep

D-did she just hang up on me? Seriously? ! What am I supposed to do now! Everything is in that laptop, my whole work is in there! My research! My presentation!

It was a beautiful Friday night in LA City, where people are going out enjoying their time in the big city, while Kyuhyun was staying at his hotel room, frustrated just staring at the suitcase that was lying on his bed, trying to figure out a way to solve this critical problem. He knew there was nothing important or valuable in his suitcase that anyone would want to snatch, well except his laptop and his researches that he had been working on for years, but he chose to push that idea from his head and decided to focus on the simple reason.

Someone just mistakenly took my luggage since we have the same brand of suitcase. So I should check if there’s something in this one that can lead me to its owner.

So hesitantly, Kyuhyun opened the suitcase. He wasn’t someone to intrude on another person’s things but he figured there was no other way than this.

This is not helping. It’s just a bunch of very expensive clothes which belongs to a man, and a couple of books. Well apparently this man is rich and so it leads to my first theory that he mistakenly took my suitcase. Yes, that must be it. But now what should I say to the hospital? Ugh! My presentation is there! How can I face them? Who’s going to want to do a surgery without seeing the plan!

I need to find that damn suitcase!

The Next Day
Please god, I know I’m not the praying type but please let this meeting be as successful as I hope. I know I don’t have a presentation but my reputation precedes me. Amen

Kyuhyun was standing at the entrance of LA hospital where he was going to meet the person who he would perform a surgery on, if his plan was chosen of course. However, losing his suitcase was getting on his nerves even though he was determined to not let anything bring him down.

As one of the best Audiologist, Kyuhyun was summoned by the health minister of Korea along with some other competent doctors from across the country, to find a solution for one of the biggest business men’s heir in Asia.

Apparently, the said patient got into a serious accident a few years back and unfortunately lost his hearing. Being a powerful man, his father did everything possible to cure his only son. He took him overseas to see high professional doctors but no one was able to come up with a surgery plan that would successfully bring his hearing back.

As a last resort, the loving father went to the health minister and they both decided on summing up the best doctors in Korea, since the man already tried with the international doctors. And that was how they set up a meeting to explain the patient’s situation.  It was their last resort and they hoped it will work.

So being very much passionate about his work, Kyuhyun felt challenged by the surgery. The doctors were giving a month to figure out if there was a way to cure the patient’s hearing. The father definitely assured them that the price would be very high and they would for sure be rewarded in several kinds, but not that Kyuhyun cared about the money. Satisfying his ego was always his strong point in succeeding in his professional life. Although it didn’t help him quite much in his personal life but that wasn’t his concern at that moment.

So after a month of sleepless nights and a lot of thinking and intense researches, Kyuhyun was very proud of his presentation. He did manage to figure out a safe way to get 80% minimum of the patient’s hearing back. Unfortunately, since he didn’t have his laptop, he wasn’t very confident that the patient or his father would believe in his theory. They had an expert coming up to this meeting and unless he sees something visual, he wouldn’t give him a chance. They won’t just believe in words without some demonstration or at least an exposition.

Since the patient’s father was overseas in a business trip and couldn’t possibly go back to Korea, he preferred to do the meeting in LA, all expenses paid.

So with nervous steps, Kyuhyun walked into the hospital and directly headed towards the elevator. He pressed the button and as the door opened, a familiar figure was there.

It didn’t take much for Kyuhyun to recognize him since it was rare for someone to captivate him that easily “Oh, it’s you”

Still standing in his place with his finger pointing at the man inside the elevator, Kyuhyun couldn’t help but feel a certain heat rushing to his cheeks when the man smiled at him and yet again, Kyuhyun became speechless.

The stranger motioned for Kyuhyun to get in as he scooted over to one side so that the latter could step in. Once he was in, Kyuhyun was kind of dazed as, index in the air, he kept looking at the buttons and couldn’t figure out which number he was supposed to click on.

Finally when he came out of his short moment of astonishment, which he didn’t know exactly why, he cleared his throat and straightened up his composure. He didn’t miss the small chuckle from the man beside him, and even though it was the most beautiful sound that he ever heard, he wasn’t going to let a stranger make fun of him.

He slowly turned to the side facing the man and glared at him. The latter covered his laugh by a light cough before turning his face to avoid Kyuhyun’s gaze. However, he couldn’t help but let out another giggle but he soon covered his mouth. Nevertheless, this time Kyuhyun didn’t really disapprove, in contrary, he couldn’t help but laugh along with the stranger, and soon the elevator was full of laughter even though it wasn’t for a practical reason.

“They do say laughter in contagious” Kyuhyun quoted when he managed to stop laughing, but after a few seconds he got a bit confused because he just realized that he never heard the man’s voice yet.

“You don’t talk much, do you?” Kyuhyun faced the man and looked him straight in the eyes. He couldn’t deny that this man had a mysterious aura around him and Kyuhyun wanted to figure it out. Although he knew that he might not meet this man again, he couldn’t help wondering about him. What’s his name? What does he do? Why doesn’t he talk much? Because until then, all that he knew about him was that he had an amazing laugh and a gorgeous smile.

“Thank you”

He finally talked and holly crap his voice is even more amazing!

Kyuhyun sure seemed to daze off a lot lately. He shook his head to get rid of any disturbing ideas before looking again at the man.

“For what?”

“For making me laugh. I needed it”

He’s smiling again? With dimples this time? What the hell is happening to me?

Unfortunately before Kyuhyun can say something back, the elevator’s door opened making the stranger bow before disappearing into the hallway.  Kyuhyun was left there admiring the back view of the man, and to him, it looked just as good as the front view.

Well that managed to make Kyuhyun get rid of his nervousness. However, it didn’t last long as he was now in the waiting room, nervously tapping his foot because he was next to go in.

And there he was. Standing in front of the door and ready to knock. He was confident about his plan the day before but apparently not anymore since he didn’t have his laptop with him. If only his suitcase didn’t get switched at the airport he was definitely going to nail this meeting. He couldn’t believe how unlucky he was for his misfortune. He felt his knees getting weak but he didn’t have time to complain when a certain someone’s laughter crossed his mind. It sure helped put a smile on his lips and to give him courage to knock on the door and step in.

There were four people in the room. The first was the health minister, the second was the patient’s father, the third was of course the expert everyone talked about and the fourth one … wait a second, what is he doing here? Who is he? Relax Kyuhyun … So who’s missing … THE PATIENT! Could he possibly be the deaf patient?
