PART 2
Minho POV
I feel something wet on my T-shirt. Waking up to see what was going on, I notice that Taemin is still in my arms and in the same position when I cradled him to sleep. Taemin was clasping on to his mouth, and his breathing was irregular. It took me a second to realize what is going on.
I spotted the tears that flowed down Taemin’s cheeks, and they dripped on the rim of my shirt.
“Taemin…what’s wrong Taemin?”
“No…Nothing.”
He tried to cover his face with his hands, but I caught hold of them just in time. Without thinking any further, I placed one of his palms on my chest as he looked up at me with his bloodshot eyes. For the first time, I could no longer hide my tears from him.
“Minho Hyung…”
I wanted to tell him how my heart hurts.
I wanted to tell him that it’s bleeding so badly that I feel like dying.
I wanted to tell him that I love him so much.
Taemin continued looking at me with his bloodshot eyes. The words that I want to say were stuck in my throat and I lost the courage that I have. Slowly, I put his hands down and shifted him away from me.
I stood up slowly and walked out of the room without saying a single word.
Taemin POV
Minho Hyung placed my left hand on his chest. I could feel his heartbeat and for the first time, I noticed something welling up in his eyes. Is Hyung crying because of me?
“Minho Hyung…”
Instead of replying, Hyung slowly released my left hand and wiped his tears away swiftly. He shifted me away from him, allowing my head to rest on the cushion of the sofa. Minho Hyung gazed at Onew Hyung for a moment before walking out of the room.
No. This is all wrong. Why does Minho’s action hurt me so much? When he closed the door behind him, I felt the exact same way when I saw Onew Hyung lying on the hospital bed for the first time. I ran out of the hospital as fast as I could and spotted Minho walking towards the lift.
“Minho Hyung!”
My voice echoed in the empty hospital corridor and Minho turned around to look at me. Without thinking for even a second, I ran towards him as fast I could. Before he could react, I open my arms and wrapped them around his waist. Pressing my head on his chest, I could feel his heartbeat once again. I know that I would regret if I let him go.
He wrapped his arms around me tightly, as I pressed my fingers against his skin. I fixed my gaze on his eyes, and lifted my chin up, shifting my lips to meet his. My action definitely caught him in surprise. He pressed his lips affectionately on mine for a few seconds, but he backed away after that.
“No.” Minho looked at me seriously and released his arms that were caressing my back.
“What?”
“I can’t do that Taemin, I can’t do that to Onew Hyung.”
I feel like a fool, an idiot. Minho took a few steps back but I grabbed hold of his hands again. I did not know why I did that, but for some reason, I could not watch him leave me just like that.
“Minho Hyung, at least…stay with me.”
I sense Minho resisting my request, but I ignore him and dragged him back into the hospital ward. Sitting down on the sofa again, there was an awkward silence between Hyung and I. We stared at Onew Hyung for a long time, not saying a single word to each other.
Turning my head to the side to look at Minho, I rested my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes.
“Did I scare you, Hyung?” I asked him suddenly, breaking the silence that we had for the past 15minutes. He nodded his head like a young boy, and patted my head, running his fingers down my hair.
“Could you sing a lullaby for me?” Minho nodded his head again, and allowed me to rest my head on his lap. He removed his jacket, revealing his muscular body and wrapped it around my body like a jacket. Minho started singing under his breath awkwardly to me in his deep voice.
“Your traces that my heart is filled with
Makes me able to breathe
When the long night is colored by the moonlight
Will the inescapable wait all end?
I wish for a miracle and ask and answer myself”
Because it’s love, because to me, it’s love
Author’s Note: Hi! Thanks for reading the second chapter of Forgotten. The climax would be in the next chapter, which would probably be the final chapter of the story.
I’m terribly sorry for my horrible language and if the story is getting boring. I’m pretty upset over my chemistry test that I had today.
