.

It’s lunch time. The small café located in a busy area of Yeouido is cramped with customers that mostly look profesional in their suits or blouses. At least 10 persons are standing in front of the cashier, waiting for their turn to order some drinks and food. A girl with a tied hair is standing behind the cashier machine. Almost automatically, the girl looks at the front door when the sound of bell above the door heard.
“Well, your boyfriend is late today, sajangnim,” said the girl to a petite man standing not very far from her. The man looks over his shoulder and puts an annoyance face.
“He’s not my boyfriend,” replied the so-called-sajangnim while resuming his work.
The girl with a name tag Lee Myun Hee only laughs. “Yeah… you can say no as much as you want. But we, all of us, know the truth.” Yesung, the employer, can only roll his eyes. His employee can be waay to straightforward sometimes
.

.
By using both of his hands to cover his head, Siwon ran as fast as possible towards the front door of the hospital. The man could clearly feel the beads of sweat running on his back. Siwon never liked summer. It must be because his weird body metabolism that could produce excessive sweat even in warm temperature. He even hated being under the sun during the spring. The said man only needed to be in a 30 degree temperature - be it indoor or outdoor - and his body would be soaked in sweat.
Siwon let a loud sigh when he finally enters the lobby of the hospital. He took a few minute to smell his own body, making sure he did not smell that bad after being under the sun for almost half an hour. Siwon started walking inside the hospital, passing some nurses and doctors along the corridor. The said man headed toward the third floor of the hospital building.
After around 5 minutes, Siwon finally reached a room. Two pieces of paper crafted beautifully in form of flowers were plastered on the door. One name was written on each paper. Han Yu Chae. Lee Bom. Siwon smiled bitterly seeing the names. There were still two names eventhough the room was only occupied by one person now.
Siwon reached the door handle. But suddenly some one inside the room opened the door. A man came out of the room. He looked quite young, probably around Siwon’s age but quite shorter than the said guy. Both of the men looked surprised, but they eventually smiled to each other while exchanging small greetings before the shorter guy walked passed Siwon.
Siwon finally came inside and saw the only patient occupying the room. There were two beds placed facing each other inside the room. A 15-year-old teenager sat on one of the beds.
“No other patient sent to this room?” asked Siwon while taking the seat next to the occupied bed.
Lee Bom was the name of the girl. She was once a cheerful girl, as bright as the spring. But now she looked gloomy more often. Maybe because of her illness and the treatment she had to go through.
Bom’s mother had long gone, leaving the girl with her father who had to work almost every day. The teenage girl had no sibling so his father personally requested her daughter placed in a room with another patient to keep her company. Siwon, himself, is not Bom’s relative.
He was merely Bom’s neighbor but both of them were pretty close. They had known each other long before Bom fell sick .
Bom suffered from cancer. And just like any other cancer patients, no one could really predict whether they would recover or passed away.
“Spring has long passed, sweety.” Siwon reached one of Bom’s hand and caressed it softly.
Yu Chae, Bom’s roommate passed away not long after spring came this year. After Yu Chae’s death, Bom refused to share her room with another patient. Yet, she also rejected her father’s idea of moving to a single-bed room.
“Don’t you feel lonely?” asked Siwon again, carefully.
The said girl looked at the empty bed. “If oppa knows I’m being lonely, why don’t you come more often?”
Siwon could catch the sad look on Bom’s face, making the tall guy felt more guilty. Siwon bit his lip. He knew he hadn’t visited Bom quite often lately. He was in his last year in university and had been quite busy with his final assignments.
“I’m really sorry. I promise I will visit you more often, eoh?” Siwon put his best aegyo.
Bom crossed her arms and showed her angry face with pouting lips, still not looking at the man.
“Bom-ah.” Siwon called out the girl name as soft as possible.
“Eumm…” But the said girl only replied in a short hum coldly.
“Don’t you miss oppa?”
There wa quite long silent before Bom chuckled loudly, resulting a big smile from Siwon. He knew he had earned forgiveness.
“Okay… I will forgive you, but under one condition.” Siwon noded his head, signaling he listened to Bom’s request. “The guy oppa met before. He is Jong Jin samcheon.”
Siwon tried to recall the name. He knew he had heard that Jong Jin name somewhere. Bom sometimes talked about his relatives though Siwon had to admit that he had met only very few of them. Jong Jin must be one of Bom’s relatives he hadn’t met yet.
“Ah! That glasses store owner?!” exclaimed Siwon, suddenly. He finally remembered who this Jong Jin guy was.
Bom clapped his hand. “Yes. That one! Jong Jin samcheon has one older brother.”
“Wait a minute!” Siwon cut Bom’s sentence. “You’re not trying to set me up with his brother, right?”
“Ani!” replied Bom. “Oppa only needs to do something simple. A simple mission from me.”
But then a grin was formed on that supposed-to-be-innocent face, “…but I don’t mind if oppa becomes Yesung samcheon lover later. I think you can make a good couple.” Followed by a typical giggle of a teenager.
“Okay. Let’s hear your request first.”
“Oppa is a good cook, right?”
Siwon had been quite famous for his above-average skill in cooking. Bom used to help Siwon and her mother cooking. Long time ago, when her mother was still alive and she was a healthy, cheerful girl. Siwon still loves to cook for Bom, though. Due to her treatment, there were times when Bom was super cranky. When her mood was down, she usually refused to eat anything prepared by the hospital and Siwon had to cook for her.
“So…. Jong Jin samcheon told me that Yesung samcheon has just broken up with his boyfriend for a super silly reason. Yesung samcheon’s boyfriend said that he is too fat. Uri samcheon? Fat! That’s just a stupid reason! Tsk.”
“Bom-ah… watch your language.” Siwon reminded the teenager.
Bom jut out his bottom lip. “Sorry,” she said in a very low voice.
“So, what should I do?” asked Siwon with a frown on his face.
“Yesung samcheon starts doing his super strict diet. I don’t know why he really believes his jerk ex-boyfriend words about his weight.”
“Bom-ah.” Again, Siwon reminded the girl about his rude word.
“But oppa…. I don’t think Yesung samcheon is fat. He is just fine! But because of that…” The girl almost cursed another bad words but then she held her tongue when she noticed Siwon’s stern face.
“…because of that ex-boyfriend’s reason…. Now, all of us are worried about Yesung samcheon’s condition. So…..”
Siwon waited the request anxiously. He really hoped it was not something ridiculous like sending food to that particular samcheon.
“I want oppa making food for uri samcheon.”
Dang! He was so freaking right. Why he had to be right?
Siwon chew his bottom lips while trying to arrange some reasons to refuse Bom’s request. The girl seemed so determined and it must be hard to change her mind.
.
.
The scorching heat of summer really pissed Siwon off today. The muscular guy wiped the sweat on his temple for the umpteenth time. He scoffed loudly while walking on the busy sidewalk. Siwon cursed under his breath, complaining about people who still believe that global warming is just a myth. With the summer that was getting worse in every year, the issue was too real to be called as a bluff from scientists.
Siwon finally stopped in front of a café located on one of crowded area of Yeouido. Through the large window, he could see the inside of the café. The place did not look that big. There was this long counter for cashier and the barista on one side, and chairs and tables for dine in customers on the other side. Many action figures were placed on shelves hanging low on the wall.
After taking one deep breath, Siwon finally stepped inside the café. The refreshing breeze from the Air Conditioner welcomed the grumbling guy, creating a smile on his handsome face instantly. After placing his backpack on one of the empty chairs, Siwon headed to the cashier. The said guy looked at the menu written on the upper wall right across him. He was not there for the drinks or the cakes and pastries. He was there for the owner of the café, his very mission.
Siwon scanned the counter in front of him. There were only two employees working. One was standing as the cashier and one was preparing the drinks and food. Siwon scrunched his eyes, trying to read the names written on their tag name. Nope. None of them was Kim Yesung, as Bom informed many times.
Right when it was his turn to take order, the door that was probably leading to the backside of the store was being opened and a guy showed up. He tapped the shoulder of the man who was currently taking out two sandwiches from the microwave.
“You order, sir?” The girl standing behind the cashier called Siwon for the third time.
“Ah, sorry.” Siwon could’t help but feeling embarrass. He finally ordered an Americano with lots of ice and syrup before heading back to his seat.
Once he returned to his place, Siwon could finally observe the Yesung Bom had been talking about. Siwon was a little bit over 180 cm and Yesung was probably shorter than him, though he looked a bit taller than average girls. His hair was jet black. Siwon guessed that the guy purposively made his hair looks messy. Some of the bangs covered his small eyes. Siwon’s gaze now fell on the guy’s plump lips, contrasted pretty much with his milky skin.
“Siwon-ssi.” Now, Siwon had the honour to hear Yesung’s voice.
Siwon stood up and takes his order. For a couple second Siwon was planning to tell Yesung about his mission, but then his hesitation won and he eventually dragged his feet back to his seat after saying one “thanks” to Yesung.
Siwon opened the zipper of his backpack and looked inside the bag. Three lunchboxes were still in their places. He had prepared the food since early in the morning, making sure that they had perfect combination of protein, fiber and carbohydrat. But even after all the troubles he had to get through to prepare the lunch, Siwon still couldn’t find the courage to greet Yesung, let alone delivering the lunch to the guy.
“I want oppa preparing food for Yesung samcheon,” requested Bom with her big, cute, pleading eyes. Making Siwon’s heart melted and finally nodded in agreement.
“I just want samcheon gain at least two kilos. Uri Jong Jin samcheon said that Sungie samcheon is too thin right now.”
Mission accepted but far from being accomplished.
Siwon just couldn’t find the right sentence to open the conversation. How he should greet Yesung. How he should tell the guy about the lunch he has made. And the most important thing was Siwon did not want to look like as if he was a lunatic fan or stalker of Yesung.
After countless time of telling himself to stand up, Siwon finally made up his mind. With all of his courage, the tall guy finally stood up and walked to the counter, right where Yesung standing. But a voice calling out Yesung’s name halted Siwon’s step just right before the said guy reached the counter.
“Hyung, I got lunch for you.” Siwon recognized the voice. It’s Jong Jin. But it seemed like the guy doesn’t recognize Siwon as he passes him without taking a glance.
“Do you need something?” The girl who was in the cashier asked Siwon.
“Umm… I need more ice,” answered Siwon.
“Wait a minute.” The girl filled a glass with some ice and hands it to Siwon. On his way back to the seat, he overheard Jong Jin and Yesung converse.
“Eomma made some japchae for you, and some salad.” Jong Jin’s voice was not really loud but Siwon could hear him pretty clear.
“I’ve got some lunch,” answered Yesung.
“Really?”
When Siwon get back to his chair, he can see how Jong Jin eyeing his brother suspiciously. It is obvious that he didn’t really believe his own hyung.
“Just give the food to my workers and tell eomma I’ve eaten them.” Yesung took the lunchboxes and gave them to the girl.
“C’mon, hyung. You’ve got to eat something.”
“I have my lunch already, Kim Jong Jin.” Yesung had given his final answer and there was no way Jong Jin could argue that. Siwon finally let out a loud sigh. It seemed like the mission wasn’t as simple as Bom said it would be.
.
.
Siwon really wished the sun would be kind today, at the weekend. But it seemed that the sun being way to cheerful today, resulting one of the hottest day in this summer. To make the day worse, it seemed like the wind is being too lazy today. There wasn’t even the slightes breeze passing the city since this morning. Siwon grumbled non stop during his ride on the bus since the air conditioner did not help at all. When he got off on the bus stop near the café, the said guy cursed under his breath.
Just like the day before, today Siwon visited that particular café named MouseRabbit. He packed samgyetang and kimchi for today’s lunch menu. Unfortunately, he didn’t see the guy he was looking for when he stood in front of the cashier. As usual, Siwon ordered an Ice Americano with lots of ice and syrup.
It seemed like today was really Siwon’s unlucky day. Not only the sun shone really bright, he also didn’t have any chance to give his lunchbox since Yesung was nowhere to be seen the whole day. He ended up eating his own food.
.
The café was almost dark, save for the dim light coming from under the bathroom door. All of the café’s employee had gone home couple of minutes ago, a little bit later than usual since one of the employee was having a small birthday party.
The soft sound of running water could be heard from the bathroom. That small room was occupied by none other than the owner of the café, Yesung. The upper body of the guy leaned toward the sink while both of his hands gripped the edge of the sink. His eyes were closed while his mouth open widely. His throat was working pretty hard, doing exactly what was being ordered by the brain. Yesung was trying hard to pull out the piece of brownies cake that he ate before.
The cake was supposed to be in the early stage of digestion, right? It hadn’t been distributed to his body, right? No. He couldn’t let that butter, chocolate, egg, whip cream and cheese cream attached to his belly and cheeks. He had to take those damn fat out.
Yesung panted loudly as the guy opened his eyes and looks at his own reflection on the mirror. He cleaned the saliva from his lips and chin. Yesung scrutinized his own body through the mirror. He looked at his face and convinced himself that he didn’t gain any ounce.
“You’re too chubby. I don’t like chubby person. Other people might think chubby is cute, but I don’t.” Yesung could still remember clearly the very sentence his ex-boyfriend said the day they broke up.
Yesung leaned his body back to the sink, commanding every organ in his stomach to push back the food he had eaten. No. He couldn’t afford another onunce.
.
.
Siwon couldn’t feel his legs anymore, maybe because he had been standing for too long. Wind blew pretty hard, passing the standing guy. The hem of his long coat moved slowly, along with the wind. His hair was pretty much a mess while his eyes were red and his cheeks looked puffy. Tears kept on flowing out of his eyes.
Siwon bit his bottom lip and took a deep breath for the umpteenth time. The said guy was trying his best to calm himself but he just can’t.
“C’mon Siwon! You have to be strong! You can’t cry!” He talked to himself.
Yesung was coming out of the house few meters from where Siwon was standing. The guy was about to get into his car but then he halted his step and walked towards Siwon instead.
“You’re still here?” asked the guy with a concern shown clearly on his face.
Yesung had noticed Siwon when he was about to get into the house. He thought Siwon was one of the guests but then he didn’t see the muscular guy even hours after that. To his surprised, the guy is still on his place when he is about to go home.
“You’re not coming in?” asked Yesung again. “You’re friend’s of Bom? Or Bom’s father?”
“I.. I don’t… I can’t-“ Siwon couldn’t finish his sentence as tears clogging his throat. He wiped the tears roughly with the back of his hand and then took another deep breath.
“I couldn’t stop this stupid tears!”
“So?”
“I can’t get in there like this. I can’t let Bom’s father see me crying. It’ll make him sadder. I don’t want to cry in front of Bom. She must be sad. I just can’t.”
Yesung brings himself closer to Siwon. “May I know your name?”
“Siwon,” replied the guy with a very shaky voice. It didn’t took that long before Yesung remembered the name Bom constantly talked about. The guy looked hesitant for couple seconds before he finally pulled Siwon into a hug. He could feel Siwon turns tense for a while before the taller guy getting relax. Siwon didn’t do anything. He just let Yesung patted his back slowly, just like a mother who tried to calm her son.
“I’ve herad about you many times from Bom when I visited her. It’s weird, huh? We’re living in the same city. We visited the same person for years, but we never met each other. I only hear your stories from Bom. She said that she really really likes this neighbor oppa.”
Yesung let a small laugh. “Sometimes I complained to Bom, you know. He called you oppa but I am a samcheon. I don’t think you’re that far younger than me, so you sou should be an ahjussi too, or samcheon. But then she said she likes you more than me. That’s why you got the honour of oppa. I never have the chance to say this, but thank you, Siwon-ssi. For taking care our Bommie this whole time.”
Siwon couldn’t hold himself anymore and he just cries louder in Yesung’s embrace. The said guy now circles his hands on Yesung’s waist and leans his way bigger body completely on Yesung.
As the fall came, Bom was sadly getting worse. It was really unexpected because the girl was just doing great the weeks before. She returned to the cheerful girl she was. But then two days ago she had to be sent to ICU since her condition was really bad.
Bom needed 15 bags of fresh blood. Due to her illness, she could not use the blood stored in blood bank. Siwon went everywhere, contacted possible blood donor. He had tried every thing! Every single thing.
This wasn’t the first time the girl was sent to the ICU. This wasn’t the first time Bom was in critical condition. This wasn’t the first time Siwon stood in front of the room, staring at the girl with such a worried eyes. She made it before. She always made it.
But this time, Siwon had to let the girl goes before the leaves turned reddish brown, her favorite color.
Slowly, Yesung opened his arms and took few steps back, giving just enough room between him and Siwon. He wiped the tears on Siwon’s cheeks softly and then fixing the muscular guy’s hair and appearance.
“You wear reddish brown coat,” commented Yesung as he buttoning up the coat to cover the muscular guy from the chilly wind of fall.
“Bom liked the color. She picked this for me when we went shopping before Fall. I bought her a scarf with the same color. We’re planning for a weekend date once the Fall comes.”
Siwon bit his lip quite hard, trying to surpress his tears. It feels like his chest can explode anytime soon from the sadness and grieve.
“It looks good on you,” complimented Yesung. The guy then held Siwon’s hand and with a soft tug, Yesung leaded Siwon to Bom’s house.
“Your hand feels cold. Are you okay?” said Siwon as they took steps together.
“I know. Bom also said that many times. And she also said that I have cold hands because I have warm heart.”
Siwon couldn’t hold his laugh.
“I’m being serious! I do not made that up! Bom really said that!” protested Yesung.
.
.
.
Siwon put one of his hand into the coat’s pocket. The temperature in Seoul was getting lower as the leaves turn into brown. A big smile was formed on his handsome face when he stepped in to MouseRabbit and spotted the guy he was looking for. Yesung is standing behind the cashier machine, taking orders from two girls in uniform. After few minutes, it was finally his turn to make an order. Today, the petite guy wore plaid shirt with an apron on top of his shirt.
“What do you want?” asked Yesung with a smile that made his eyes turn into crescents.
“Americano. Hot. With lots of syrup.” Yesung let out a small laugh as he entered the order on the machine.
“Food?”
“Nope.” Siwon shakes his head. “I got lunchbox with me and I want to share them with you.” Yesung looked at Siwon with a frown on his face.
“Just bring me my order, and I’ll tell you everthing,” said Siwon before he handed out some money to pay for his drink.
Siwon sit on one empty table at one corner of the café. It’s about twenty minutes later when Yesung took the empty seat across Siwon with one glass of hot Americano for Siwon and one cold Americano for Yesung.
Siwon then took out two lunchboxes from his backpack and then opened them one by one. The first box had Spaghetti with chunks of chicken breast and another box had some salad with olive oil. Confusion was clearly written on Yesung’s face.
“This is Aglio Olio. I had to find pasta made of wheat flour to make this dish since I know you’re on diet. And this is Caesar Salad with olive oil.”
Yesung tilted his head while crossing his arm. “Why?”
“Well, first. Let’s just say this is my ‘thank you food’ because you have helped me back then in Bom’s huse. Second, it is actually a request from Bom herself.”
A deep frown was now decorating Yesung’s face. Siwon chuckled.
“You really do not recognize me, don’t you?”
Yesung narrowed his eyes, looking at Siwon intently. “Ah, right!” shouted the petite guy after a while.
“You’re that Americano-with-lots-of-syrup-customer!”
Siwon laughed hearing how Yesung addressing him. The guy then spent almost twenty minutes telling Yesung about Bom’s request and how he always ended up eating the lunchbox instead of handed them to Yesung.
Yesung nodded several times as he recalled the days when Siwon came to the café. They indeed had met several times. But maybe because he was either being too busy with his own thing or he was simply being an ignorant of his environment that he really couldn’t recognize the muscular guy when he comforted that guy the other day.
Now that Yesung gave full attention to Siwon, he remembered how Bom used to said that Siwon was a handsome neighbor. And the guy was indeed a handsome one. Yesung finally saw those two dimples that Bom said ‘pokeable’. And one thing that Yesung noticed that maybe Bom didn’t know was about how Siwon’s eyes sometimes gleam in happiness when he was talking about Bom. But some other time, they reflected a deep sadness as Siwon talked about things he couldn’t do for Bom.
“…. so. From now on, I will bring your lunch and you have to eat them in front of me. And you can not throw them out later,” said Siwon in a very stern and strict tone as if the said guy was really close to Yesung.
Yesung, actually, could just refuse Siwon’s offer. But the said guy found himself nodding and taking the chopsticks handing by Siwon. Maybe it was because his late nephew’s request. Or maybe, maybe, it was because that dimples smile that Siwon gives to Yesung every time the said guy put the food in his mouth.
.
.
Yesung stood in front of the sink. The lunch time had been over and Siwon had just gone around 20 minutes ago. And Yesung had been in the toilet ever since.
Yesung looked at this own reflection at the mirror while his held the edge of the sink tighly. A frown could be seen in his face. His teet were biting his bottom lip quite hard.
Yesung had to fight himself. Maybe because his body had been getting used to throwing up his food, now he had to fight the urge of vomiting.
“You have to eat them, nee?” Yesung closed his eyes and the image of Siwon talking to him softly came to his mind. No.. No.. It didn’t sound like an order at all. It’s more like a request. A sincere request as if the guy was really being concern about Yesung.
It had been a week since Siwon made Yesung lunch. And every day the petite guy had to get through the same struggle. The struggle of eating the meal - which was honestly too much for yesung’s diet - and the stuggle to keep his food stay in his stomach.
“Gomawo!” Again, the image of Siwon. The muscular guy always flashed him that bright dimple smiles when Yesung finished his food while patting his upper arm softly.
Seconds later Yesung could feel something traveling up from his stomach to his throat and finally getting out of his mouth. The food that was once fill his stomach now was filling the sink. Yesung turned on the tap, letting the water flush out the already-half-digested food and hopefully would wash out his guilt.
Yesung tapped his cheek not so lightly while looking at the mirror.
“C’mon Yesung, you can do it!”
.
.
.
There’s another sound coming from the bell above the door, telling a customer is coming.
“Ah, It’s Ji Ah eonni.” Myun Hee mentioned the name of customer who has just entered their café.
“Why you sound so disappointed?” commented Yesung while waving his hand to Ji Ah, one of their regular customers.
Another customer can be seen walk behind Ji Ah. Myun Hee stands on her toes to see who is the customer and the girl grins like some kind of fangirl when she recognizes the guy. Myun Hee then turns to Yesung.
“Sajangnim, I will take care the order. Now, you need to have your lunch with your boyfriend,” said the girl. Now she really sounds like a maniac fangirl.
Myun Hee pushes Yesung out of the counter right before Siwon looks at the petite guy and waves his hand. Yesung gives one threatening look to his employee - which the girl does not find scary at all - and walks to Siwon who has already chosen an empty table.
“It must be really cold outside,” commented Yesung.
Siwon takes of his coat. “I hate winter.”
“I thought you hate summer.” Yesung chuckles.
“Ugh.” Siwon crunches his face in annoyance. “Summer is enemy number one. Winter is number two.”
Yesung can only shakes his head and laughes. Once Siwon takes the seat in front of him, Yesung reaches out his hand and tidying Siwon’s hair that looks a bit messy, maybe because of the wind.
For a mili second Siwon only looks at Yesung who is now casting his head down. None of them expected Yesung did what he just did. They have known each other for months now but they have never really done any skinship.
Yes, Yesung hugged Siwon once, long time ago, but only out of sympathy. To comfort the grieving guy.
Yes, Siwon patted Yesung couple of times before, when the petite guy finished his meal, some kind of friendly and appreciative gesture.
But, this time is different. There’s a faint hint of affection there.
“I bring Japchae and Special Chicken Wings!” exclaimed Siwon, trying to get rid their awkward moment.
“No offense, but when will you stop doing this? I mean, aren’t you busy yourself?” asked Yesung while chewing the savory chicken wings. As usual, Siwon made a delicious meal. Once Yesung asked Siwon why the said guy can cook meals deliciously. He said that he grew up cooking with his mother.
“You stop vomitting your food, right?” Siwon gave a question instead of answering.
Yesung rolls his eyes. “My diet isn’t that bad!” claimed Yesung. Well, he used to throw his food up but it’s been weeks since the last time he did that. It was not easy, really, but now he could eat the food prepared by Siwon without throwing them up afterwards.
“Don't you see this?” Yesung points at his cheeks and his arms. “Do you think they’ll be this chubby if I keep on vomiting my food?”
Siwon laughs hearing Yesung’s words. “That’s good then. A little bit longer. Be patient a little bit longer, eoh? A little bit chubbier than this will do fine.” Siwon can’t hold himself anymore from pinching Yesung’s cheek.
“Bom said his uncle is handsome and he is more handsome with his chubby cheeks.”
“What about you? What do you think?” The question came out without Yesung could even think about it. Siwon can see tint of shade on Yesung’s chubby cheeks. Both men exchange look in silent for couple minute.
“I’ll give the answer to that once the spring comes.”
Wait a little bit longer. Spring will come, soon
Pairing: Always Yewon/WonSung
Warning: I'm bad, like really bad, at writing and English. And my English seems worse. Do not expect a happy ending
.
.
It’s lunch time. The small café located in a busy area of Yeouido is cramped with customers that mostly look profesional in their suits or blouses. At least 10 persons are standing in front of the cashier, waiting for their turn to order some drinks and food. A girl with a tied hair is standing behind the cashier machine. Almost automatically, the girl looks at the front door when the sound of bell above the door heard.
“Well, your boyfriend is late today, sajangnim,” said the girl to a petite man standing not very far from her. The man looks over his shoulder and puts an annoyance face.
“He’s not my boyfriend,” replied the so-called-sajangnim while resuming his work.
The girl with a name tag Lee Myun Hee only laughs. “Yeah… you can say no as much as you want. But we, all of us, know the truth.” Yesung, the employer, can only roll his eyes. His employee can be waay to straightforward sometimes
.
.
.
By using both of his hands to cover his head, Siwon ran as fast as possible towards the front door of the hospital. The man could clearly feel the beads of sweat running on his back. Siwon never liked summer. It must be because his weird body metabolism that could produce excessive sweat even in warm temperature. He even hated being under the sun during the spring. The said man only needed to be in a 30 degree temperature - be it indoor or outdoor - and his body would be soaked in sweat.
Siwon let a loud sigh when he finally enters the lobby of the hospital. He took a few minute to smell his own body, making sure he did not smell that bad after being under the sun for almost half an hour. Siwon started walking inside the hospital, passing some nurses and doctors along the corridor. The said man headed toward the third floor of the hospital building.
After around 5 minutes, Siwon finally reached a room. Two pieces of paper crafted beautifully in form of flowers were plastered on the door. One name was written on each paper. Han Yu Chae. Lee Bom. Siwon smiled bitterly seeing the names. There were still two names eventhough the room was only occupied by one person now.
Siwon reached the door handle. But suddenly some one inside the room opened the door. A man came out of the room. He looked quite young, probably around Siwon’s age but quite shorter than the said guy. Both of the men looked surprised, but they eventually smiled to each other while exchanging small greetings before the shorter guy walked passed Siwon.
Siwon finally came inside and saw the only patient occupying the room. There were two beds placed facing each other inside the room. A 15-year-old teenager sat on one of the beds.
“No other patient sent to this room?” asked Siwon while taking the seat next to the occupied bed.
Lee Bom was the name of the girl. She was once a cheerful girl, as bright as the spring. But now she looked gloomy more often. Maybe because of her illness and the treatment she had to go through.
Bom’s mother had long gone, leaving the girl with her father who had to work almost every day. The teenage girl had no sibling so his father personally requested her daughter placed in a room with another patient to keep her company. Siwon, himself, is not Bom’s relative.
He was merely Bom’s neighbor but both of them were pretty close. They had known each other long before Bom fell sick .
Bom suffered from cancer. And just like any other cancer patients, no one could really predict whether they would recover or passed away.
“Spring has long passed, sweety.” Siwon reached one of Bom’s hand and caressed it softly.
Yu Chae, Bom’s roommate passed away not long after spring came this year. After Yu Chae’s death, Bom refused to share her room with another patient. Yet, she also rejected her father’s idea of moving to a single-bed room.
“Don’t you feel lonely?” asked Siwon again, carefully.
The said girl looked at the empty bed. “If oppa knows I’m being lonely, why don’t you come more often?”
Siwon could catch the sad look on Bom’s face, making the tall guy felt more guilty. Siwon bit his lip. He knew he hadn’t visited Bom quite often lately. He was in his last year in university and had been quite busy with his final assignments.
“I’m really sorry. I promise I will visit you more often, eoh?” Siwon put his best aegyo.
Bom crossed her arms and showed her angry face with pouting lips, still not looking at the man.
“Bom-ah.” Siwon called out the girl name as soft as possible.
“Eumm…” But the said girl only replied in a short hum coldly.
“Don’t you miss oppa?”
There wa quite long silent before Bom chuckled loudly, resulting a big smile from Siwon. He knew he had earned forgiveness.
“Okay… I will forgive you, but under one condition.” Siwon noded his head, signaling he listened to Bom’s request. “The guy oppa met before. He is Jong Jin samcheon.”
Siwon tried to recall the name. He knew he had heard that Jong Jin name somewhere. Bom sometimes talked about his relatives though Siwon had to admit that he had met only very few of them. Jong Jin must be one of Bom’s relatives he hadn’t met yet.
“Ah! That glasses store owner?!” exclaimed Siwon, suddenly. He finally remembered who this Jong Jin guy was.
Bom clapped his hand. “Yes. That one! Jong Jin samcheon has one older brother.”
“Wait a minute!” Siwon cut Bom’s sentence. “You’re not trying to set me up with his brother, right?”
“Ani!” replied Bom. “Oppa only needs to do something simple. A simple mission from me.”
But then a grin was formed on that supposed-to-be-innocent face, “…but I don’t mind if oppa becomes Yesung samcheon lover later. I think you can make a good couple.” Followed by a typical giggle of a teenager.
“Okay. Let’s hear your request first.”
“Oppa is a good cook, right?”
Siwon had been quite famous for his above-average skill in cooking. Bom used to help Siwon and her mother cooking. Long time ago, when her mother was still alive and she was a healthy, cheerful girl. Siwon still loves to cook for Bom, though. Due to her treatment, there were times when Bom was super cranky. When her mood was down, she usually refused to eat anything prepared by the hospital and Siwon had to cook for her.
“So…. Jong Jin samcheon told me that Yesung samcheon has just broken up with his boyfriend for a super silly reason. Yesung samcheon’s boyfriend said that he is too fat. Uri samcheon? Fat! That’s just a stupid reason! Tsk.”
“Bom-ah… watch your language.” Siwon reminded the teenager.
Bom jut out his bottom lip. “Sorry,” she said in a very low voice.
“So, what should I do?” asked Siwon with a frown on his face.
“Yesung samcheon starts doing his super strict diet. I don’t know why he really believes his jerk ex-boyfriend words about his weight.”
“Bom-ah.” Again, Siwon reminded the girl about his rude word.
“But oppa…. I don’t think Yesung samcheon is fat. He is just fine! But because of that…” The girl almost cursed another bad words but then she held her tongue when she noticed Siwon’s stern face.
“…because of that ex-boyfriend’s reason…. Now, all of us are worried about Yesung samcheon’s condition. So…..”
Siwon waited the request anxiously. He really hoped it was not something ridiculous like sending food to that particular samcheon.
“I want oppa making food for uri samcheon.”
Dang! He was so freaking right. Why he had to be right?
Siwon chew his bottom lips while trying to arrange some reasons to refuse Bom’s request. The girl seemed so determined and it must be hard to change her mind.
.
.
The scorching heat of summer really pissed Siwon off today. The muscular guy wiped the sweat on his temple for the umpteenth time. He scoffed loudly while walking on the busy sidewalk. Siwon cursed under his breath, complaining about people who still believe that global warming is just a myth. With the summer that was getting worse in every year, the issue was too real to be called as a bluff from scientists.
Siwon finally stopped in front of a café located on one of crowded area of Yeouido. Through the large window, he could see the inside of the café. The place did not look that big. There was this long counter for cashier and the barista on one side, and chairs and tables for dine in customers on the other side. Many action figures were placed on shelves hanging low on the wall.
After taking one deep breath, Siwon finally stepped inside the café. The refreshing breeze from the Air Conditioner welcomed the grumbling guy, creating a smile on his handsome face instantly. After placing his backpack on one of the empty chairs, Siwon headed to the cashier. The said guy looked at the menu written on the upper wall right across him. He was not there for the drinks or the cakes and pastries. He was there for the owner of the café, his very mission.
Siwon scanned the counter in front of him. There were only two employees working. One was standing as the cashier and one was preparing the drinks and food. Siwon scrunched his eyes, trying to read the names written on their tag name. Nope. None of them was Kim Yesung, as Bom informed many times.
Right when it was his turn to take order, the door that was probably leading to the backside of the store was being opened and a guy showed up. He tapped the shoulder of the man who was currently taking out two sandwiches from the microwave.
“You order, sir?” The girl standing behind the cashier called Siwon for the third time.
“Ah, sorry.” Siwon could’t help but feeling embarrass. He finally ordered an Americano with lots of ice and syrup before heading back to his seat.
Once he returned to his place, Siwon could finally observe the Yesung Bom had been talking about. Siwon was a little bit over 180 cm and Yesung was probably shorter than him, though he looked a bit taller than average girls. His hair was jet black. Siwon guessed that the guy purposively made his hair looks messy. Some of the bangs covered his small eyes. Siwon’s gaze now fell on the guy’s plump lips, contrasted pretty much with his milky skin.
“Siwon-ssi.” Now, Siwon had the honour to hear Yesung’s voice.
Siwon stood up and takes his order. For a couple second Siwon was planning to tell Yesung about his mission, but then his hesitation won and he eventually dragged his feet back to his seat after saying one “thanks” to Yesung.
Siwon opened the zipper of his backpack and looked inside the bag. Three lunchboxes were still in their places. He had prepared the food since early in the morning, making sure that they had perfect combination of protein, fiber and carbohydrat. But even after all the troubles he had to get through to prepare the lunch, Siwon still couldn’t find the courage to greet Yesung, let alone delivering the lunch to the guy.
“I want oppa preparing food for Yesung samcheon,” requested Bom with her big, cute, pleading eyes. Making Siwon’s heart melted and finally nodded in agreement.
“I just want samcheon gain at least two kilos. Uri Jong Jin samcheon said that Sungie samcheon is too thin right now.”
Mission accepted but far from being accomplished.
Siwon just couldn’t find the right sentence to open the conversation. How he should greet Yesung. How he should tell the guy about the lunch he has made. And the most important thing was Siwon did not want to look like as if he was a lunatic fan or stalker of Yesung.
After countless time of telling himself to stand up, Siwon finally made up his mind. With all of his courage, the tall guy finally stood up and walked to the counter, right where Yesung standing. But a voice calling out Yesung’s name halted Siwon’s step just right before the said guy reached the counter.
“Hyung, I got lunch for you.” Siwon recognized the voice. It’s Jong Jin. But it seemed like the guy doesn’t recognize Siwon as he passes him without taking a glance.
“Do you need something?” The girl who was in the cashier asked Siwon.
“Umm… I need more ice,” answered Siwon.
“Wait a minute.” The girl filled a glass with some ice and hands it to Siwon. On his way back to the seat, he overheard Jong Jin and Yesung converse.
“Eomma made some japchae for you, and some salad.” Jong Jin’s voice was not really loud but Siwon could hear him pretty clear.
“I’ve got some lunch,” answered Yesung.
“Really?”
When Siwon get back to his chair, he can see how Jong Jin eyeing his brother suspiciously. It is obvious that he didn’t really believe his own hyung.
“Just give the food to my workers and tell eomma I’ve eaten them.” Yesung took the lunchboxes and gave them to the girl.
“C’mon, hyung. You’ve got to eat something.”
“I have my lunch already, Kim Jong Jin.” Yesung had given his final answer and there was no way Jong Jin could argue that. Siwon finally let out a loud sigh. It seemed like the mission wasn’t as simple as Bom said it would be.
.
.
Siwon really wished the sun would be kind today, at the weekend. But it seemed that the sun being way to cheerful today, resulting one of the hottest day in this summer. To make the day worse, it seemed like the wind is being too lazy today. There wasn’t even the slightes breeze passing the city since this morning. Siwon grumbled non stop during his ride on the bus since the air conditioner did not help at all. When he got off on the bus stop near the café, the said guy cursed under his breath.
Just like the day before, today Siwon visited that particular café named MouseRabbit. He packed samgyetang and kimchi for today’s lunch menu. Unfortunately, he didn’t see the guy he was looking for when he stood in front of the cashier. As usual, Siwon ordered an Ice Americano with lots of ice and syrup.
It seemed like today was really Siwon’s unlucky day. Not only the sun shone really bright, he also didn’t have any chance to give his lunchbox since Yesung was nowhere to be seen the whole day. He ended up eating his own food.
.
The café was almost dark, save for the dim light coming from under the bathroom door. All of the café’s employee had gone home couple of minutes ago, a little bit later than usual since one of the employee was having a small birthday party.
The soft sound of running water could be heard from the bathroom. That small room was occupied by none other than the owner of the café, Yesung. The upper body of the guy leaned toward the sink while both of his hands gripped the edge of the sink. His eyes were closed while his mouth open widely. His throat was working pretty hard, doing exactly what was being ordered by the brain. Yesung was trying hard to pull out the piece of brownies cake that he ate before.
The cake was supposed to be in the early stage of digestion, right? It hadn’t been distributed to his body, right? No. He couldn’t let that butter, chocolate, egg, whip cream and cheese cream attached to his belly and cheeks. He had to take those damn fat out.
Yesung panted loudly as the guy opened his eyes and looks at his own reflection on the mirror. He cleaned the saliva from his lips and chin. Yesung scrutinized his own body through the mirror. He looked at his face and convinced himself that he didn’t gain any ounce.
“You’re too chubby. I don’t like chubby person. Other people might think chubby is cute, but I don’t.” Yesung could still remember clearly the very sentence his ex-boyfriend said the day they broke up.
Yesung leaned his body back to the sink, commanding every organ in his stomach to push back the food he had eaten. No. He couldn’t afford another onunce.
.
.
Siwon couldn’t feel his legs anymore, maybe because he had been standing for too long. Wind blew pretty hard, passing the standing guy. The hem of his long coat moved slowly, along with the wind. His hair was pretty much a mess while his eyes were red and his cheeks looked puffy. Tears kept on flowing out of his eyes.
Siwon bit his bottom lip and took a deep breath for the umpteenth time. The said guy was trying his best to calm himself but he just can’t.
“C’mon Siwon! You have to be strong! You can’t cry!” He talked to himself.
Yesung was coming out of the house few meters from where Siwon was standing. The guy was about to get into his car but then he halted his step and walked towards Siwon instead.
“You’re still here?” asked the guy with a concern shown clearly on his face.
Yesung had noticed Siwon when he was about to get into the house. He thought Siwon was one of the guests but then he didn’t see the muscular guy even hours after that. To his surprised, the guy is still on his place when he is about to go home.
“You’re not coming in?” asked Yesung again. “You’re friend’s of Bom? Or Bom’s father?”
“I.. I don’t… I can’t-“ Siwon couldn’t finish his sentence as tears clogging his throat. He wiped the tears roughly with the back of his hand and then took another deep breath.
“I couldn’t stop this stupid tears!”
“So?”
“I can’t get in there like this. I can’t let Bom’s father see me crying. It’ll make him sadder. I don’t want to cry in front of Bom. She must be sad. I just can’t.”
Yesung brings himself closer to Siwon. “May I know your name?”
“Siwon,” replied the guy with a very shaky voice. It didn’t took that long before Yesung remembered the name Bom constantly talked about. The guy looked hesitant for couple seconds before he finally pulled Siwon into a hug. He could feel Siwon turns tense for a while before the taller guy getting relax. Siwon didn’t do anything. He just let Yesung patted his back slowly, just like a mother who tried to calm her son.
“I’ve herad about you many times from Bom when I visited her. It’s weird, huh? We’re living in the same city. We visited the same person for years, but we never met each other. I only hear your stories from Bom. She said that she really really likes this neighbor oppa.”
Yesung let a small laugh. “Sometimes I complained to Bom, you know. He called you oppa but I am a samcheon. I don’t think you’re that far younger than me, so you sou should be an ahjussi too, or samcheon. But then she said she likes you more than me. That’s why you got the honour of oppa. I never have the chance to say this, but thank you, Siwon-ssi. For taking care our Bommie this whole time.”
Siwon couldn’t hold himself anymore and he just cries louder in Yesung’s embrace. The said guy now circles his hands on Yesung’s waist and leans his way bigger body completely on Yesung.
As the fall came, Bom was sadly getting worse. It was really unexpected because the girl was just doing great the weeks before. She returned to the cheerful girl she was. But then two days ago she had to be sent to ICU since her condition was really bad.
Bom needed 15 bags of fresh blood. Due to her illness, she could not use the blood stored in blood bank. Siwon went everywhere, contacted possible blood donor. He had tried every thing! Every single thing.
This wasn’t the first time the girl was sent to the ICU. This wasn’t the first time Bom was in critical condition. This wasn’t the first time Siwon stood in front of the room, staring at the girl with such a worried eyes. She made it before. She always made it.
But this time, Siwon had to let the girl goes before the leaves turned reddish brown, her favorite color.
Slowly, Yesung opened his arms and took few steps back, giving just enough room between him and Siwon. He wiped the tears on Siwon’s cheeks softly and then fixing the muscular guy’s hair and appearance.
“You wear reddish brown coat,” commented Yesung as he buttoning up the coat to cover the muscular guy from the chilly wind of fall.
“Bom liked the color. She picked this for me when we went shopping before Fall. I bought her a scarf with the same color. We’re planning for a weekend date once the Fall comes.”
Siwon bit his lip quite hard, trying to surpress his tears. It feels like his chest can explode anytime soon from the sadness and grieve.
“It looks good on you,” complimented Yesung. The guy then held Siwon’s hand and with a soft tug, Yesung leaded Siwon to Bom’s house.
“Your hand feels cold. Are you okay?” said Siwon as they took steps together.
“I know. Bom also said that many times. And she also said that I have cold hands because I have warm heart.”
Siwon couldn’t hold his laugh.
“I’m being serious! I do not made that up! Bom really said that!” protested Yesung.
.
.
.
Siwon put one of his hand into the coat’s pocket. The temperature in Seoul was getting lower as the leaves turn into brown. A big smile was formed on his handsome face when he stepped in to MouseRabbit and spotted the guy he was looking for. Yesung is standing behind the cashier machine, taking orders from two girls in uniform. After few minutes, it was finally his turn to make an order. Today, the petite guy wore plaid shirt with an apron on top of his shirt.
“What do you want?” asked Yesung with a smile that made his eyes turn into crescents.
“Americano. Hot. With lots of syrup.” Yesung let out a small laugh as he entered the order on the machine.
“Food?”
“Nope.” Siwon shakes his head. “I got lunchbox with me and I want to share them with you.” Yesung looked at Siwon with a frown on his face.
“Just bring me my order, and I’ll tell you everthing,” said Siwon before he handed out some money to pay for his drink.
Siwon sit on one empty table at one corner of the café. It’s about twenty minutes later when Yesung took the empty seat across Siwon with one glass of hot Americano for Siwon and one cold Americano for Yesung.
Siwon then took out two lunchboxes from his backpack and then opened them one by one. The first box had Spaghetti with chunks of chicken breast and another box had some salad with olive oil. Confusion was clearly written on Yesung’s face.
“This is Aglio Olio. I had to find pasta made of wheat flour to make this dish since I know you’re on diet. And this is Caesar Salad with olive oil.”
Yesung tilted his head while crossing his arm. “Why?”
“Well, first. Let’s just say this is my ‘thank you food’ because you have helped me back then in Bom’s huse. Second, it is actually a request from Bom herself.”
A deep frown was now decorating Yesung’s face. Siwon chuckled.
“You really do not recognize me, don’t you?”
Yesung narrowed his eyes, looking at Siwon intently. “Ah, right!” shouted the petite guy after a while.
“You’re that Americano-with-lots-of-syrup-customer!”
Siwon laughed hearing how Yesung addressing him. The guy then spent almost twenty minutes telling Yesung about Bom’s request and how he always ended up eating the lunchbox instead of handed them to Yesung.
Yesung nodded several times as he recalled the days when Siwon came to the café. They indeed had met several times. But maybe because he was either being too busy with his own thing or he was simply being an ignorant of his environment that he really couldn’t recognize the muscular guy when he comforted that guy the other day.
Now that Yesung gave full attention to Siwon, he remembered how Bom used to said that Siwon was a handsome neighbor. And the guy was indeed a handsome one. Yesung finally saw those two dimples that Bom said ‘pokeable’. And one thing that Yesung noticed that maybe Bom didn’t know was about how Siwon’s eyes sometimes gleam in happiness when he was talking about Bom. But some other time, they reflected a deep sadness as Siwon talked about things he couldn’t do for Bom.
“…. so. From now on, I will bring your lunch and you have to eat them in front of me. And you can not throw them out later,” said Siwon in a very stern and strict tone as if the said guy was really close to Yesung.
Yesung, actually, could just refuse Siwon’s offer. But the said guy found himself nodding and taking the chopsticks handing by Siwon. Maybe it was because his late nephew’s request. Or maybe, maybe, it was because that dimples smile that Siwon gives to Yesung every time the said guy put the food in his mouth.
.
.
Yesung stood in front of the sink. The lunch time had been over and Siwon had just gone around 20 minutes ago. And Yesung had been in the toilet ever since.
Yesung looked at this own reflection at the mirror while his held the edge of the sink tighly. A frown could be seen in his face. His teet were biting his bottom lip quite hard.
Yesung had to fight himself. Maybe because his body had been getting used to throwing up his food, now he had to fight the urge of vomiting.
“You have to eat them, nee?” Yesung closed his eyes and the image of Siwon talking to him softly came to his mind. No.. No.. It didn’t sound like an order at all. It’s more like a request. A sincere request as if the guy was really being concern about Yesung.
It had been a week since Siwon made Yesung lunch. And every day the petite guy had to get through the same struggle. The struggle of eating the meal - which was honestly too much for yesung’s diet - and the stuggle to keep his food stay in his stomach.
“Gomawo!” Again, the image of Siwon. The muscular guy always flashed him that bright dimple smiles when Yesung finished his food while patting his upper arm softly.
Seconds later Yesung could feel something traveling up from his stomach to his throat and finally getting out of his mouth. The food that was once fill his stomach now was filling the sink. Yesung turned on the tap, letting the water flush out the already-half-digested food and hopefully would wash out his guilt.
Yesung tapped his cheek not so lightly while looking at the mirror.
“C’mon Yesung, you can do it!”
.
.
.
There’s another sound coming from the bell above the door, telling a customer is coming.
“Ah, It’s Ji Ah eonni.” Myun Hee mentioned the name of customer who has just entered their café.
“Why you sound so disappointed?” commented Yesung while waving his hand to Ji Ah, one of their regular customers.
Another customer can be seen walk behind Ji Ah. Myun Hee stands on her toes to see who is the customer and the girl grins like some kind of fangirl when she recognizes the guy. Myun Hee then turns to Yesung.
“Sajangnim, I will take care the order. Now, you need to have your lunch with your boyfriend,” said the girl. Now she really sounds like a maniac fangirl.
Myun Hee pushes Yesung out of the counter right before Siwon looks at the petite guy and waves his hand. Yesung gives one threatening look to his employee - which the girl does not find scary at all - and walks to Siwon who has already chosen an empty table.
“It must be really cold outside,” commented Yesung.
Siwon takes of his coat. “I hate winter.”
“I thought you hate summer.” Yesung chuckles.
“Ugh.” Siwon crunches his face in annoyance. “Summer is enemy number one. Winter is number two.”
Yesung can only shakes his head and laughes. Once Siwon takes the seat in front of him, Yesung reaches out his hand and tidying Siwon’s hair that looks a bit messy, maybe because of the wind.
For a mili second Siwon only looks at Yesung who is now casting his head down. None of them expected Yesung did what he just did. They have known each other for months now but they have never really done any skinship.
Yes, Yesung hugged Siwon once, long time ago, but only out of sympathy. To comfort the grieving guy.
Yes, Siwon patted Yesung couple of times before, when the petite guy finished his meal, some kind of friendly and appreciative gesture.
But, this time is different. There’s a faint hint of affection there.
“I bring Japchae and Special Chicken Wings!” exclaimed Siwon, trying to get rid their awkward moment.
“No offense, but when will you stop doing this? I mean, aren’t you busy yourself?” asked Yesung while chewing the savory chicken wings. As usual, Siwon made a delicious meal. Once Yesung asked Siwon why the said guy can cook meals deliciously. He said that he grew up cooking with his mother.
“You stop vomitting your food, right?” Siwon gave a question instead of answering.
Yesung rolls his eyes. “My diet isn’t that bad!” claimed Yesung. Well, he used to throw his food up but it’s been weeks since the last time he did that. It was not easy, really, but now he could eat the food prepared by Siwon without throwing them up afterwards.
“Don't you see this?” Yesung points at his cheeks and his arms. “Do you think they’ll be this chubby if I keep on vomiting my food?”
Siwon laughs hearing Yesung’s words. “That’s good then. A little bit longer. Be patient a little bit longer, eoh? A little bit chubbier than this will do fine.” Siwon can’t hold himself anymore from pinching Yesung’s cheek.
“Bom said his uncle is handsome and he is more handsome with his chubby cheeks.”
“What about you? What do you think?” The question came out without Yesung could even think about it. Siwon can see tint of shade on Yesung’s chubby cheeks. Both men exchange look in silent for couple minute.
“I’ll give the answer to that once the spring comes.”
Wait a little bit longer. Spring will come, soon
