Chapter 6

Time Machine

Chapter 6:

 

Jongin's POV:

This wasn't supposed to happen. He wasn't supposed to be here, right in front of me. What was he doing here anyway?! My expression was stoic. I felt my body becoming more and more heavy. My heart was pounding. I couldn't move, my feet were stuck on the floor. I was deeply lost in my thoughts when my lovely sister interrupted them.

"We need to prepare our oral presentation for Biology." she entered the house and he did as well. A smile kept on his face as we made eye-contact. My blood was boiling like a hot pot with water in it. Suddenly, Seohyun spoke. "I'll get us some drinks. Kkamjong, can you lead Sehun to my room please?". She didn't give me the time to protest and left the room. I sighed and turned to Sehun. "Follow me." I said sarcastically. "I already came here, remember? So if my memory is good Seohyun's room is..." and he walked to Seohyun's room. I sighed once more and followed him. Seohyun shouldn't have left me alone with him. That was a bad idea, a really bad idea. Sehun was looking around in my sister's room. He then sat on the bed and smiled to me. "So... How have you been doing Kai?" "Don't call me like that, I grew up Sehun. We aren't in kindergarden anymore." "Ahhh you did change. But Seohyun didn't. She's still the same-" "Don't mess with her Sehun. If you do, I'll kill you.". Sehun just shook his head. "I understand why you still haven't got any girlfriend. You're so violent." I grunt in response. "Let's stop here. I'm already tired of you. All those years you didn't interact with her, I had to help her recover from the accident ALONE! I thought we were best friends...". Sehun didn't know what to reply. He wasn't casually installed as before. He sat up from my sister's bed. "Do you seriously think I chose to leave you both behind? My family was keeping me away from everything I loved because of my 'so-important' studies. But I managed to escape my parents' influence. And I'm now back to fix all my mistakes and catch up the time I lost. So please do me a favor, Kai , and let me come back into your life properly, ok?!" he said in an almost menacing tone. 

It wasn't the right moment but Seohyun came inside the room after his reply. "Uh... I brought some drinks..." she said shyly. "What took you so long?!" I asked her with my eyes revealing the real message I wanted to tell her: 'why-did-you-leave-me-with-him?!'. "I couldn't reach the milk bottle, hehe!" she replied with a wide smile. We kept silent for a moment when I finally stood up. "I'll let you guys work." I then turned my gaze to Seohyun. "If you need anything, call me, neh?" She just smiled and I left the room, leaving my sister and ex-bestfriend together.

Sehun's POV:

We worked for about three hours. When we were finally done, I stood up from the small sofa in Seohyun's room and she led me to the entrance. She told me on the way that Kai had left because of his Basketball practice. 'So he is still doing basketball'. I couldn't help but realise that Seohyun and I were alone. Just the two of us. Of course, many 'weird' thoughts came up to my mind but I tried to stay as natural as possible and control my hormones. We both reached the door and we were now facing each other. Seohyun just showed her usual bright smile and I smiled back. "Well then, it was nice working with you, Sehun. You really are a different person out of school. I like that." Seohyun said cutely. "Oh really? Were you scared of me at school!!" I asked teasingly. We both laughed slightly at the same time and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward. I looked down and she did as well. "Thanks for coming today, Sehun." "Thanks for inviting me, Seo." Seohyun came closer and closer. Soon, our bodies were only few inches appart and she kissed my cheek..my heart was beating so fast and I couldn't help but feel happy about this kiss. I missed this. I missed her. 

I didn't want to leave her side but I had to. Kai surely didn't want me to stay any longer with his little sister. I decided to take my leave and left Seohyun alone. On my way home, I was walking slowly, hoping something or someone would stop me from going back home. I was hoping that Kai was going to tell Seohyun everything about her past and about us. But he was so scared and I understood his fears. Afterall, telling her all this could be a shock for her. But if only he could tell her the truth... While walking, my phone rang and I took it out of my pocket. He screen showed 'New text message from: Kai'. I opened the message and read it. 'I'm going to talk to her. Tomorrow is your chance. Don't miss it.' Tomorrow... I perfectly knew what was happening tomorrow. Kai knew it too. I grinned and replied by a simple 'ok' to his text. I walked home safely and took care of my sister. 

Seohyun's POV:

As soon as Jongin came back from his Basketball practice, I ran to him. "So? How did it go? Tell me about it!" I asked him excitedly. Even though I asked this question to , his expression was serious, stoic. My smile faded. He took my wrist and led me to the living room, where we both sat on the couch, facing each other. Awkward silence. My brother finally spoke. "Seo... You don't remember anything before the accident, right?" he asked. His question suprised me at first but I just replied with a nod. "Well, to be honest with you, I didn't tell you everything about our past life..." he added. I knew it. I just knew it. But I couldn't blame him, hiding these informations for me were a sort of protection. I trust him more than anyone else and of course, I love him. But still, those informations were so important to me, I couldn't deny it. He started to speak again. "Seo... Me and Sehun have known each other for a long time. And you knew him too." I wasn't this surprised. I just felt I was different around Sehun, we had this sort of link I couldn't explain. "I think I knew that. I just felt it." Jongin was surprised but nodded after. "We were bestfriends... But after the accident, his parents kept him away from me. And from you." He stopped to catch up his breath and continued. "But before the accident... He gave you a paper, a poem, that I kept after your accident. Do you want to read it?" I was so happy. I was finally going to know myself better and my past life. I replied by a joyful yes and my brother stood up. He smiled faintly and went to his room, and came back few minutes after. "Here." He handed me a folded piece of paper. I opened it very carefully and saw the title. 'Time Machine'. I then started reading it.

'If I could go back in time, I would go back to the time when I met you,
To see your innocent face, your shy smile and your gentleness,
To re-meet you and change my coldness,
Into a bright smile that could make you melt.

If I could go back in time, I would go back to the time when we used to fight,
To see you arguing, lightly hitting me and then laughing,
To stop those fights from happening and choosing cuddling,
To calm our bodies and souls by sleeping tight.

You are the one that makes my day brighter,
The one that makes my nights deeper,
The one that makes me look cuter,
The one that makes me the happiest on earth.

But even without a Time Machine, 
Those four words can still be told,
Because you are my past, my present and futur,
Be with me. Forever."

I kept on repeating the last verse out loud. There it was. My only memory was here, in my hands. While reading this poem, I remembered. I remembered everything. The moments I had with Jongin and Sehun. All the happy memories I had. It all came back to me. I looked back at Jongin. "Why... Why are you giving me this today?" I asked him, quite curious to know. He smiled faintly. "Because I can't see you unhappy." he replied simply. "What do you mean-" "Sehun. And you." he said. "Wait. Are you not gay anymore?" "You mean, do I still like Oh Sehun? Yes I do. I really do love him. To be honest with you, I liked him since last year but before that, I was straight. And I think it's time for me to leave the gay me aside and look around for the love of my life." He smiled. Seeing my brother this way made me heartbroken. "Kkamjong, you love him and-" "Think about you for once and stop thinking about me. I'll leave you alone. Oh and one more thing; I suggest you read that poem again before sleeping. Good night my lovely sister." He said as he kissed my forehead and went to bed. 
I did as Jongin told me to do. I kept on thinking and thinking. When I finally chose to go to bed, I went to check my calendar. At my surprised, I saw a big red circle, drawn on tomorrow's date. 'Oh. I forgot about it. Tomorrow's my birthday.' I thought.
