SPECIAL

Myungsoo and Sungyeol were sitting on the balcony of their home in the countryside. It was a nice cloudy, still sunny, breezy day. Minhyuk, their son, graduated high school last year and was attending Seoul University with his boyfriend. Myungsoo and Sungyeol got married at the age of 22. Myungsoo brought Minhyuk home when they were 25. Minhyuk graduated when they were 37.  They were just two, handsome, 37-year-olds. 15 years of marriage. Many hardships. Lots of love. Their fingers Intertwined into each other's fingers. Sungyeol's head leaned on top of Myungsoo's shoulder. The sun nearly setting. It was, honestly, perfect. They spoke every once in awhile about their memories. One of the included the worst fight they ever had. 

“Remember that time you walked away,” Myungsoo whispered. 

“Of course. You will leave me to forget.” Sungyeol replied. 

“It's because I don't want you to forget.” 

“I know.” 

Sungyeol, as we all know, is very patient and forgiving. However, not that night. Like always Myungsoo was out late working and it was just Sungyeol and Minhyuk in the apartment. The two had gotten close and by now Kris had started calling Sungyeol Appa. Yes, it was weird but Minhyuk was just too cute. That night Minhyuk was already asleep, but Sungyeol was still awake. For some reason that night was Sungyeol couldn't take it anymore. Sungyeol was in bed when Myungsoo walked into the bedroom. 

“Hey, babe,” Myungsoo said as he leaned in to kiss Sungyeol on the lips. 

“Hey,” Sungyeol replied. 

“What's wrong?” 

“What do you mean?” 

“You only said hey.”

“ I'm just really tired right now.” 

“No. What's wrong?” 

“There's nothing wrong Myungsoo,” Sungyeol replied raising the tone of his voice. 

“Sungyeol stop being such a stubborn and tell me.” 

“Stubborn?!?” 

“Yes!” 

“You don't have the right to call me stubborn.” 

“And why not?!” 

“Because if I was so stubborn then I wouldn't be doing anything for this family. It's not like you do anything anyways.” 

“I don't do anything! I don't do anything! Wow… You're so ing… God! I don't do anything for this family! How could you say that?!?! I'm making all the money to support this family. All.” 

“I could be doing the same, but you wanted me to move to Seoul to be with you. I didn't need to move here. I could've stayed at Ilsan, but no I decided to be with your !” 

“You could easily move back if that's how you feel! Move your back to Ilsan. I don't need you here!” 

Sungyeol's face streamed with tears that had stayed hidden for every time Myungsoo didn't come home on time. They were tears of loneliness and regret. Sungyeol held them back whenever Myungsoo came home late, but cried them out whenever he was trying to fall asleep. Sungyeol cried every bit of water that was in his body. Then Sungyeol just left. The door slammed and Myungsoo finally realized what he had just said. Then Myungsoo broke. 

Minhyuk didn't know that Sungyeol left until the next morning when the only thing on the kitchen table was Myungsoo, crying. Minhyuk walked over with slow, tiny footsteps so he wouldn’t scare Myungsoo. 

“Appa?” Minhyuk said with a whisper. 

“mhm…” Myungsoo replied looking down at their son with sad eyes.

“Where’s other Appa?” 

“He went somewhere. He’ll be back.” Myungsoo picked Kris up and sat Minhyuk on his lap. Myungsoo gave him a hug huge and continued to embrace his son. Soon the tears started to fall, and Minhyuk started to pat his back. 

“It’s okay appa. He’ll be here soon. He's probably going to buy groceries.”

“Wait… does he usually leave you by yourself when he goes somewhere?” Myungsoo asked.

“Yeah…” Minhyuk looked up at Myungsoo with a worried face. 

“That sounds like him.” Myungsoo’s lips broke into a small smile as he imagined Sungyeol coming back home just to find Minhyuk by himself. 

After Myungsoo made the little one a horrible breakfast and took him to school, Myungsoo started to look for Sungyeol. Myungsoo tried Woohyun and Sunggyu; Dongwoo and Hoya, but both couples replied that Sungyeol wasn’t with them. Myungsoo looked all around Seoul for Sungyeol until it was time for Kris to get out of school. When Myungsoo reached the school he waited outside for Kris to come out, but he never did. Myungsoo walked up to the school and straight to the office.

“Hello?” Myungsoo said while knocking on the office window. 

“Yes…..OMG, YOU’RE MYUNGSOO!” The secretary yelled as she opened the window. 

“Yeah…. um, do you know where Minhyuk is?”

“OMG…. YOU’RE STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME AND YOU JUST SPOKE TO ME.” The secretary started to fan herself furiously. Myungsoo could only look down on the floor in hopes that nobody would notice the commotion. The women walked by and stared intensely at Myungsoo’s face. 

“Aren’t you the one that dropped Kris off this morning?” The women asked. She was around her late 20’s, so she was indeed beautiful. 

“Yes.”

“He got picked up earlier this afternoon by someone else.”

“Do you know who picked him up?”

“Not his name, but I do remember what he looks like. He was incredibly handsome. Tall. Gorgeous. and just to die for.” The women explained dreamly.

“That doesn’t sound anything like the guy that I was thinking of. Are you sure he wasn’t lanky? Goofy. 7 piercings on his left ear. Really nice long legs.”

“Yeah him.”

“Yeah the way you described him didn’t sound anything like my description…”

“I thought it sounded similar.”

“Yeah… but I would appreciate it if you didn’t talk about my husband like that.” Myungsoo pointed out while showing her his left hand. Myungsoo then quickly ran out of the school, and to his apartment. 

When Myungsoo reached that apartment, it was near barren. The only things that were in the apartment were things that were in there before Sungyeol had moved in. Myungsoo walked into the kitchen and opened a wine bottle. Pour himself a glass. And continued to drink until the bottle was empty. Then took out another wine bottle from the cabinet. Before he knew it lights were out for him.
