Chapter 4
I can't stop thinking about Changmin after what happened last night. He is not that boring. I mean he has interesting friends to hang out. He is snarky... fun to be with and he can sing. OH MY GOD! HE CAN SING AND PLAY GUITAR. I always wanted a lover who can play guitar and sing so that he can serenade songs to me every now and then. He has those qualities... Ahhh... Why am I smiling so wide? It's not like he is actually going to serenade songs to me. Sigghhh... But something is better than nothing right? I can't believe I am actually day dreaming about Changmin. Sighhh...
Things have turned a little awkward after last night. On our way home we didn't talk much in the car. I wanted to tell him how amazing his singing was but seeing his face I decided to keep quiet. He was still shy. I woke up late this morning and he was gone. He didn't wake me up or ask for breakfast like he always does. Weird! Why is he so shy? We are stuck with each other forever. If he is going to behave like that each time I find new information about him it's not going to work. What am I going to do with him? Ugghhh!
Something is vibrating. Oh! My phone. I pick it up and I am really surprised to see his name on the screen. He never calls me at this hour. I hope everything is okay.
"Minnie?!"
"Joongie?"
"Yes?"
"Ahhhh..."
"....................."
"....................."
"Is everything alright Minnie? You need something?"
"Ahh yes. Everything is fine and no I don't need anything. Why did you ask?"
"You never called me from work."
"Ohh... It's just... I am sorry. I left home this morning without telling you. I had a meeting early today and you were sleeping peacefully and I didn't feel like waking you up."
"That's okay. I am sorry. I didn't wake up to make some breakfast for you."
"Hey! Don't be sorry. It's totally fine."
"Did you eat something?"
"Do you even need to ask? Of course I did."
"Yeah right. I forgot. So what did you eat?"
"Hot chocolate and bagel."
"And that was enough for you?"
"Well extra large hot chocolate and 3 bagels with cream cheese are not that bad. I can go on 3-4 hours with that."
"Hahaha... You're really something."
"Ahh ye-ahh... Umm Joongie? I am sorry but I need to go to another meeting right now. I am soo busy today. I don't even have the time to breathe."
"But you have the time to call me for NOTHING?"
"Ahh well I had to make sure you are not mad with me or else I won't get my dinner tonight."
"HA HA HA. Very funny. That was a bad joke. Anyways go now."
"Umm Joongie?"
"Yes?"
"I hope you are having fun at home. I won't be coming home early today. So you can do whatever you want. Dance and all you know?"
"SHIM CHANGMIN."
And he cut the phone laughing at me. I HATE HIM. Dislike? No no... I don't dislike him. I just don't like him. Yes. That's the right way to say it. Oh my phone is vibrating again. I hope it's not him who is calling this time. He is so gonna get a scolding from me. Oh Mom! I am sure she has called me to scold me and give lectures. But I am not in a mood to listen to her lecture. Unwillingly I pick up the phone.
"Yes Mom?"
And there she gave one the saddest news of my life.
................................................................................................................................................................................................
My Grand Pa was my best friend. So I don't know how I should take the news of his death. I can't believe he is gone and the worst part is I wasn't with him in his last moment. The last time I talked to him was 3 days ago on phone complaining about Changmin and his habit of eating 7 meals a day. Grand Pa was laughing so hard. He really was my best friend. I have never imagined my life without him. He was always there for me. My parents are so strict who do you think made me a spoiled brat? Him... My old man. Whatever I am today is because of him. When I came out in the beginning I was so scared... Of people... Of society. He was the one who told me to follow my heart without caring about the world and I did. He was the main reason why I agreed to get married. Not my Dad. It was his last wish and I had to fulfill it no matter what. He tried to stop me but I didn't listen. I told him I'll be alright. But I don't know anymore. I am sitting in his room on his bed and feeling weird because he is not here. I won't see him here anymore. My relatives are crying outside and I don't want to go out there. I should cry but I don't know why I am not crying yet. Something is missing.
"Jae?"
I look up and see Changmin standing by the door.
"Changmin? How did you..."
"Your Mom called me and gave me the news. Why didn't you call me?"
"You were busy. I didn't want to bother you. I was going to call you after 5."
"Jae, family is important than work."
I sigh and look down. He is the last thing I want right now. I am feeling guilty. He left his important work and ran here only because of me. Sighhhh.
He walks to the bed and sits beside me.
"Hey! Are you alright?" - he asks me while rubbing my back with his hand.
"Yeah... I am feeling.. Great!"
"I am sorry. I shouldn't have asked. I am so sorry Jae."
"No... I am sorry... I don't know Changmin... I am feeling... ahh.. We should go and join everyone outside."
I stand up and ready to walk but stop when he holds my hand. I look at his confused and he stands up too.
"Jae... It's okay to cry."
Then he does something that surprises me. He pulls me close to him and circles his hands around my upper body keeping me close to him. That's it. I can't take it anymore. I don't know why but I feel like crying suddenly and that's what I do. I start sobbing holding his shoulder. He doesn't say anything but keeps rubbing my back and hair. May be I was waiting for this. Some kind of security. That someone still cares about me... That someone will give me comfort if I cry.. That I still have someone with whom I can share everything. My sadness... happiness everything. I don't know why the moment Changmin hugged me I felt like he is the one. I feel secure in his arms. My sobs get louder and I start crying like a baby and hide my face in his chest.
"I am so sorry Jae. So sorry." - He just says that and keeps his chin on my head. I don't know how long we stay like that. But I stop crying at some point but he still keeps me in his arms and I start feeling sleepy thinking about my Grand Pa and definitely not thanking how perfectly we match in each other's body frame.
