Kyuhyun’s POV

Because of Taemin’s pleas and cries, Aboji finally agreed for a picnic at the nature park with the whole family. The awkward relationship between Ryeowook and I did not get any better, we only smiled to each other when we meet in the house. But my heart is thumping so fast whenever he looks at me. I’m going crazy if this were to continue.

“Ryeowookie hyung, play with me.” Taemin pulled Ryeowook together to play a kite by the river. I sat on the grass while watching them. Omma and the other mistress were preparing food for everyone while my stepmother was fanning Aboji from the heat.

“Anneohaseyo.” Nayoung’s voice sounded.

I turned to find her with Heechul arriving. Aboji, as expected, did not welcome Nayoung warmly. She helped the ladies with the food and Heechul came to sit with me.

“I hope work isn’t too tough for you.” He said to me.

I scoffed and replied “Nothing too tough.”

Just then, we heard Taemin’s cries as he ran towards us. “What’s wrong?” His mother asked.

“Ryeowook hyung…” He cried, unable to complete his sentence.

“What happened to him?” Aboji asked.

Just then, I remembered that they were playing by the river just moments ago. Did he fell into the river?

Without a second thought, I jumped on my feet and ran at full speed to where I last saw him.

“Ryeowook ah!” I shouted.

But I almost froze when I saw him sitting by the river, looking at his finger. “Yah, what’s wrong with you?” I asked him after I tried to hide my panic.

“Um… my fingers got cut by the kite string when I was trying to pull them back. Taemin thought I will die from this little loss of blood.” He showed me his bleeding index finger and smiled.

I took his hand and examined his wound. It is a deep cut.

Like second nature, I his wound to stop the bleeding. After a moment, I removed his finger from my mouth and it’s stopped bleeding. Ryeowook was blushing so terribly.

“Are you okay?” I asked.

He nodded shyly and quickly got up to return back to our picnic site.

“Ryeowook ah, are you alright?” Aboji asked caringly.

Ryeowook nodded and sat beside him. He would check aboji’s clothing carefully and check his tea. He was like docile wife to my father. This hit me to the realization that what I just did to him was absolutely considered .

Heechul left for work during the evening, leaving Nayoung for me to send her home.

“Abonim, thank you for everything.” She bowed.

“Send her home well.” Aboji said to me.

I looked at Ryeowook for a moment and was it me or do I feel that he look angry. I bowed before leaving with Nayoung.

Nayoung was quiet throughout the journey.

“There you are.” I said to her when we arrived at her house. I remembered the days I waited for her to come out from her house in the morning while I pretend to walk by coincidentally just to find a chance to walk to school with her.

“You remember?” She asked.

“Yeah.” I laughed.

“I really miss the days.” She said to me. “Well, you aren’t that bad now either.” I said.

“But, I missed the chance to be with the person I love.” She said.

“What?” I asked and the next thing I know, her lips pressed onto mine. I froze for a moment while she my lips. I quickly pushed her away. “Nayoung ah…”

“Kyuhyun oppa, I was stupid to reject you. I have always loved you.” She cried.

“Nayoung ah… You are with Heechul now.”

“I know, but, I really love you.”

“I… can’t.” I said softly.

“You can’t because of Heechul or Kim Ryeowook?” She asked. I paused at her question and looked at her with wide eyes.

I know exactly that my answer would be the latter so I did not answer her. As if she heard my inner voice, she said “Are you crazy? He is your father’s boyfriend! How could you like him?”

“I know. But what do you want me to do? I can’t control my heart.”

“So he is the reason you won’t accept me?”

“Nayoung ah, our past is just a memory now.”

“You know that you can never be with him.” She reminded.

“You know, loving someone doesn’t need him to be with you physically. I just want him to be happy. I am contented just protecting him as his lover’s son.” I said.

“You are crazy. You are not the Cho Kyuhyun I know.”

“Maybe that’s because it’s only now that I truly fell in love with someone.”

Nayoung shook her head and scoffed before leaving the car. No one would understand how precious Ryeowook is to me and how much I want him.

Ryeowook’s POV

I was sitting in the living room with the dozing Taemin after I forced him to sit with me to wait for Kyuhyun to come back. Why does he have to take so long to bring Nayoung ssi home? What are they doing? Could they be…. Yah, no they won’t.

Just then, the main door opened and Kyuhyun entered. I quickly pretended to watch the television. He stopped behind me and I got nervous just by sensing him behind me.

“You watch children’s show?” He asked.

“Yea.” I answered.

“Hyung, Kyuhyun hyung is back. Can I go to bed? Please…” Taemin suddenly woke up and said to me. My face turned red. Kyuhyun smirked at me and he ruffled Taemin’s hair when he walked away.

“You were waiting for me?”

“No. I…”

“Ryeowook ah, come to my room.” Aboji suddenly shouted from his room.

Kyuhyun’s POV

To me, it’s as if calling he’s mate. “Neh” Ryeowook answered and moved but I grabbed his wrist.

He looked at me curiously.

I shook my head and said “Don’t go. Don’t go to him.”

“What’s wrong, Kyuhyun?”

“Don’t go to his room. Please. I’ll go crazy.” I grabbed his room tighter and pull him into my arms.

A drop of tear rolled down my cheek as I hugged him tight. I felt him hugging me back at the waist.

“Kyuhyun ah, I know what you mean. But I want to tell you that I’m not his….”

“Ryeowook ah! Palli Palli!” I heard aboji shouting hurriedly. Ryeowook separated from me and turned to move to Aboji’s room.

“Kyuhyun ah, your father is calling me. I’ll explain things to you.”

He removed my hand from his and entered the room after a consoling smile, leaving me, lonely and heartbroken.
