005. Overworked
Today was a fine day. It wasn’t too hot and it wasn’t too cold. Autumn seems to have taken its toll. The whole world was getting into the transition from summer to autumn.
The SM Town concert in Korea came and went like a blur to Kibum. He didn’t even realize that today was his birthday until someone had called him up to say ‘Happy Birthday’ to him. He was just far to busy to think about things like that.
His filming schedule was hecktic it got in the way of all his Super Junior activities and he felt sorry for that but there was nothing he could do about it. He felt disappointed at the fans when they asked if he was going to leave. It seemed like no one believed in him at all.
Kibum walked up the steps to his hostel where he stayed. After he opened the door he went straight to his bed. He felt so tired. All he did was acting but acting was hard. He had to act perfectly so that the camera could catch him with those certain expressions. He worked for hours even if he was only going to appear for 10 minutes.
Kibum laid spread out on his bed with his face down in his blankets. As he turned his head to the side he sighed heavily and closed his eyes. “Only for a few minutes….” He mumbled before going to bed.
-------------
“Kibum-ah?”
Kibum shifted a little on the bed and faintly heard someone call his name but it was said so faintly that he thought it was just his imagination
“Kibum-ah??” Said the voice a little louder than when he first called the name.
Kibum brought his head up, “Someone really is calling my name…” he said out loud to himself in a soft voice.
“Kibum-ah?!” the voice called again.
“Ryeowook is that you?” Kibum called squinting at the clock while getting up.
“Oh so you are home~” Ryeowook said bouncing inside the room, “Oh and yeah it’s me.”
“Why are you here?” Kibum said rubbing his eyes.
“Why can’t I be here?” Ryeowook asked.
“I dunno.” Kibum said getting up, “Do you want something to eat or drink?” Kibum asked, “I can make it for you.”
“No it’s okay. I’m here to cook for you tonight.” Ryeowook smiled as he walked out of the room.
“Huh?” Kibum asked, “Why?”
“Why can’t I?” Ryeowook asked, “It’s your birthday today so I wanted to make you something good to eat.
“Oh.” Kibum said nodding as he walked out of his bedroom following Ryeowook.
“Kibum-ah, you look like you’re half dead.” Ryeowook said as he grabbed a bag of groceries that were on the counter.
“Really?” Kibum asked looking at the stuff that Ryeowook was taking out of the grocery bag, “I just came back from filming that drama.”
“Oh,” Ryeowook said nodding as he started washing some of the vegetables in the sink.
“Wait…” Kibum said as he sat down on a stool near the counter, “How did you get in here in the first place?”
“Your door wasn’t locked,” Ryeowook said, “That’s why I was calling your name I was wondering why you didn’t have your door locked.”
“I must have forgotten to lock it.” Kibum said putting his head on the table.
“You are overworked.” Ryeowook said in a slightly sad voice while he started to cut some vegetables for the soup he was making.
“I’m going to go wash my face.” Kibum said getting up and walking to the bathroom.
“Okay.”
In the bathroom Kibum looked at himself in the mirror, was he really overworked? Kibum just shrugged his shoulders and started to wash his face.
When Kibum came out of the bathroom the kitchen had a nice smell in the air, “That smells nice.” Kibum smiled to Ryeowook, “You really have gotten better at cooking.”
“Thanks.” Ryeowook smiled as he tasted a little of the soup then added a little more seasoning to it, “Who knows what the members would eat if I weren’t there with them in China.”
Kibum laughed showing off his wonderful pearly whites which made all his fans swoon.
“Okay.” Ryeowook said spooning out a bowl of rice and placed it in front of Kibum.
Kibum watched as Ryeowook put food in front of him. There was a small plate with a little meat in it and there was a bowl of rice with a bowl of seaweed soup as well. Everything smelt wonderful.
“Ryeowook-ah…” Kibum said smiling that smile of his, “Thank you.”
“No problem,” Ryeowook said happily, “Happy Birthday.”
Kibum looked down at his food and started eating. The food was better than anything he had eaten before. Maybe it was because the only food that he’s been eating lately is just the food that he’s been making himself and, or it would be the takeout that he orders himself. The food that he was eating now was the first homemade food he had eaten for a while.
“Kibum, you have to work hard alright?” Ryeowook said as Kibum looked up at the older man, “Work hard, but not too hard. I don’t want you to be overworked like you are now.”
Kibum smiled, he was happy that Ryeowook was worried about him. He was glad that there was someone who was worried for him. He knew that there were people who worried about him but knowing it physically felt better than knowing it mentally. Besides he felt closer to Ryeowook than any other member because they were the same age. And he knew that all the other members worried about him as much as Ryeowook was worried about him. Ryeowook just reminded him of how much people loved him. The amount of love that he receives gives him the power to keep on going and to keep on fighting.
“Ryeowook thank you.” Kibum smiled, “I’ll try not to overwork myself.”
Despite the fact that Kibum said that in reality he never felt overworked at all. He felt that the members, the fans, and his family were enough to make him feel so energized that he is never overworked.
Ryeowook smiled and made an arm gesture to Kibum telling him to continue eating, “Eat up before it gets cold.”
Kibum smiled and looked back at his food. Others may see it as him, Kim Kibum, being overworked with all this filming but Kibum didn’t feel that that was what it was. He felt that it was strength. He felt that it was his strength to go on and make his members, family, fans, and himself proud.
