Love Me, Forget Me-Not
CHAPTER 9 : BREEZE
The shimmering lights of the street lamps and the cars’ honk on the busy road, those things were completely representing the situation of this hectic night in Jonghyun’s mind. He parked his Porsche in front of a café. Seriously, he wouldn’t bring himself here if it wasn’t for his buddies who kept begging him to come. Glancing at his watch, he lazily made his way in. He was being greeted by the live blues music performed by the band once he stepped his feet in. The place more looked like a lounge than a café actually, there were couches in the corners, and some dim lights with a unique modern design, and there was a bar in the left side, quite cozy and comfy. It was not too crowded, and Jonghyun felt thankful because of it. His gaze swept all over the place, from side to side, trying to detect any sign of his pals. And there they were, he found them in the corner as Junho waving his hand, signaling him to come.
“There you are, we thought you wouldn’t come.” Junho said with his signature smile plastered on his face. That smile was sincere, yet pity.
Jonghyun didn’t bother to answer the question, he just sat on the couch and leant his body backward.
“What’s wrong with you? You look awful.” Junhyung furrowed his eyebrow at the sight in front of him, a messy Jonghyun with a loose yet shabby grey V-neck tee and a pair of ripped black skinny jeans. Oh and complete with those ugly dark circles under his eyes.
“Listen, if you guys didn’t have something important to do with me, then I’ll be going now.” Jonghyun finally replied with his unusual serious tone.
“Chill, we just want you to relax, at least for a while.” Junhyung quickly said while eyeing his buddy right to his eyes, like he wanted to assure him that he really meant it.
“Yeah, he’s right, you need to lose those tight knots on your nerves. I mean, it must be hard for you these days, with all the things that happened recently… Gosh, I’ve never thought that Minho…” Junho paused for a while, unable to continue his words, even if all of them already knew what he was trying to say.
“No wonder you’ve been acting like a jerk to him.” Junho ended his words with a heavy sigh escaped from his mouth.
An awkward silence came right after, no one said anything at the moment, everybody was being swallowed by their own thought. While the music kept blazing, telling some lines of love, which made the condition looked like a perfect irony.
“How does it feel?”
Suddenly Junhyung broke the silence by asking that question, with his sight still focused to his drink.
“Huh?”
“How does it feel, when you knew the truth…”
“Truthfully, it still hurts.” Jonghyun simply answered while tracing his gaze to the spot where he used to sit with Kibum back then.
That spot looked so cold, so lonely, without their presence. Jonghyun could see himself and Kibum there, when they were laughing, chattering about anything, and when he was whispering those sweet little nothings to Kibum.
“You know, the funny thing is I used to think that Minho was a great man…” Junhyung said while wrapping his fingers around the cigarette, bringing it closer to his mouth before finally lit it up and taking the tip into his mouth, inhaling the smoky and thrilling sensation.
“So did I.”
’Moreover I still do.’
And Jonghyun left the last sentence unsaid.
-----------------------------------------------------------
“I’m so sorry, oh Gosh, but Elli really didn’t give any justice, no matter how many times I plead, he still didn’t allow me to visit you, not until I completely recovered.”
Sitting on the nearest chair from the bed, Kevin shook Kibum’s hand lightly that afternoon, assuring him that he was really sorry.
“That wasn’t a big deal, your boyfriend had already told me that he prohibited you to come. Besides, I’m perfectly fine.” Kibum chuckled.
Kevin let out a deep sigh, his best friend was always been like this, never paying a proper attention for himself.
“ And how come you didn’t tell me anything about your condition? You know, I nearly choked up to death when Elli told me about you and Minho, about your pregnancy.”
“I was in denial, I myself couldn’t accept it at first, and I thought that it would be nothing but a burden if I told you. Sorry…”
“Apology accepted, but you owe me the whole story next time. It’s just that… I still can’t believe that you’ll have a baby… You really have to take care of yourself, you’re carrying two lives in your body now.” Kevin constantly said, offering his smile and rubbing his hand to Kibum’s tummy gently.
Kibum smiled back and nodded lightly.
“Seriously, I can’t imagine how it would be if you got some cravings and mood swings, I’ve never thought that you could be bitchier than you already are.” Kevin chuckled and Kibum smacked his arm playfully.
“… Anyway, how about your relationship with Jonghyun? Are you guys still… well, you know…”
“Yes, we’re still in a relationship, up until now… this sense of guilt is really killing me.” Kibum said, as if he could read the invisible question which knotted on Kevin’s face.
“Yeah, everybody’s been hurt, and baby… I think that Minho guy is also having a hard time.”
“I know, he was being expelled-”
“And being kicked out by his brother as well.”
“What? God, don’t tell me that you have no idea about it.” Kevin groaned when Kibum quirked his eyebrow and threw him a clueless look.
“Elli told me that he got kicked out from his house, things happened, his brother wouldn’t understand, they were arguing against each other till his big bro threw a big punch right on his face, then he was more than willing to leave.”
“He didn’t tell me anything about it.”
“Oh right, that naive guy, just like Elli…” Kevin sighed for the second time.
“Did Elli tell you anything about where he lives right now?”
“Of course Elli did, he is staying at Elli’s for the present time.”
Kibum glanced down, fidgeting with his fingers. Now, he felt like he was the major cause of all the troubles. He wondered secretly, how many sins that he had already made, and he was pretty sure that he would end up in the bottom of the hell someday.
“Minho did a lot for me, he really shouldn’t. I don’t even know how to make him stop… And I doubt that he’s willing to stop.”
“Don’t tell him to stop then. You’re just going to hurt his pride.”
------------------------------------------------------------
thump
Thump
There was no sound that could be heard except the sound of the basketball which was being slammed to the ground by Elli. Minho was sitting on the floor, arching his back against the bed behind him, watching as Elli constantly dribbling the ball.
“I really owe you a lot. I don’t even know how to pay you back.”
“No need to pay me back, just pay more attention to Kibum and your baby.” Elli stopped for a while, turning his head to Minho, whose sight was still darted forward.
thump
Thump
Elli continued what he did earlier when Minho didn’t say anything.
“Hey, am I wrong?”
Minho said in a sudden, breaking the silence between them.
“What do you mean by that?”
“I mean, the things that I did… I was wondering if I didn’t insist to keep the baby, maybe… Maybe things would be better.”
thump
Thump
“Well, honestly I don’t know whether it was wrong or not. But if…
thump
Thump
….Same things happened to me and Kevin, I would-
thump
thump
Squeak
…Have done the same.”
Elli ended his words while shooting the ball right into the ring.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
It was like there were some unwritten rules between them, because for the next few days, Jonghyun and Minho barely met each other. When Minho came to visit, Jonghyun would walk away, or just claiming that he needed to search for some fresh air. Same thing happened when Jonghyun was around, Minho would withdraw himself immediately. They didn’t know why they were being like this, but it seemed like this way was better than dealing with an awkward situation, because neither of them were in the mood for another tiring quarrel.
And so it was, when Kibum suddenly awoke in the middle of the night, he just simply found Jonghyun, nearly asleep on the chair beside the bed.
“Baby? You’re awake?” Jonghyun quickly woke up from his muse, brushing his hand against Kibum’s palm.
Still with his blurry sight, Kibum yawned and shifted his gaze to Jonghyun, observing him quietly. His lover’s hair was a complete mess, he looked tired, and not to mention he only wore a black wifebeater and a pair of sweat pants.
“What time is it now?”
Jonghyun bluntly drifted his gaze to his wrist only to realize that he wasn’t wearing his watch.
“I don’t know exactly, but I suppose it’s almost 1AM or so.”
Kibum nodded unconsciously, to be honest he wasn’t completely awake. He didn’t even know why he got up at this time.
“How do you feel? Does your tummy still hurt?”
“Nope, I’m fine.” Kibum answered with his reassuring smile plastered on his face.
“Oh forgot to tell you, I’ve talked to the doctor, he said that tomorrow you can go home.” Smiling back, Jonghyun said with his cheerful tone, which rarely could be heard lately,
“Really? Oh finally, I’m getting bored here. There’s nothing much to do.” Kibum smiled widely, going home sounded really nice, and he wasn’t lying, it was indeed boring to stay at the hospital every day.
Jonghyun just chuckled. He watched as Kibum continued to blabber.
“Baby, can I…? Well, your belly, may I…?”
“Yes, you can.”
Kibum smiled knowingly. It was cute, he thought, seeing his boyfriend lost his words only to say that he wanted to touch his belly.
Then jonghyun carefully rubbed Kibum’s belly, as If Kibum would break if he didn’t do so. Admiring the quite visible round bump, he was surprised when he felt the light friction against his nerves. It was amazing, it was awfully amazing. He still couldn’t exactly believe that there was a new life there, not until he felt it himself.
“When I graduate, I’ll find an apartment, or a simple flat.”
Jonghyun said quietly after a while, his hands still brushing gently against Kibum’s belly.
“Wow, it’s great then-“
“I’ll find a place for us, for the three of us. It’s a promise, and you can count on me.”
’Did he just say three…?’ Kibum thought to himself.
“You and me, and the baby. We’ll make a happy family.”
And Jonghyun leant his body forward, bringing his lips closer and giving a sweet butterfly kiss to the baby through Kibum’s skin.
------------------------------------------------------------
The next day Jonghyun was really determined to take Kibum home, but his plan was screwed up when he realized that it was the day of the second final match (since the previous one was a draw). Why on earth, among all of those days that they could choose, that the match should be held today, this time, this afternoon? He cursed in frustration. And today Junhyung wouldn’t let him to leave the match and passed the position to Junho again, considering how dreadful the consequences that they had to go through last week.
At first he really didn’t care about what they said, but when Kibum encouraged him to be responsible for the position and assured him many times that he was fine, he finally agreed in one condition, that there should be someone who would replace his place to drive Kibum home safely.
And of course that someone was none other than Minho.
He handed Minho his car key in silence, before finally dragged his feet to join his buddies who were already waiting outside.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
“Aren’t you supposed to be at your work right now?” Kibum asked when the car started moving.
“Yes, but you come first, everything else can wait.” Minho turned his head slightly while trying to concentrate driving. He plastered his smile to wrap his words up.
“You really shouldn’t leave your work, you’ve been doing it pretty often these days. I can take the cab.”
“And let you go home by yourself? You’ve got to be kidding me.” Minho said while raising an eyebrow.
“I’m such a trouble maker.”
“No, you’re not. And please, don’t blame yourself all the time. It’ll only make me feel worse.”
Minho eyed him from the corner of his eyes, but Kibum still didn’t seem to be happy, he still glanced down. Suddenly, an idea came out in Minho’s mind.
“Kibum?”
“Yes?”
“Wanna go somewhere before we’re going home?” Minho grinned.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Yah, why do you bring me here? Oh God…. I should have known that it wasn’t a great idea.” Kibum nagged frantically when he first arrived.
“Oh come on… You’ll like it.” Chuckling, Minho took Kibum’s hand, guiding him to come closer.
“Gosh Minho, for God’s sake, I’m sure you know that I’m an acrophobic, I’m afraid of heights and yet you bring me to the highest skyscraper in Seoul!” Kibum got panicked, he covered his eyes with both of his hands, refusing to enjoy the amazing sight in front of him.
“I just want you to know… -Minho bent his body closer and wrapped his hands on Kibum’s-
… that you don’t have to be afraid.”
He took Kibum’s hands away from his eyes from behind, Minho was really close to him that he could feel his breath against his right cheek. Kibum opened his eyes slowly, and he was captivated by the sight, slightly forgetting about his fear.
“You don’t have to be afraid, because even if you were falling down… -He held Kibum’s hand and squeezed it lightly-
…. I would be there to catch you.”
What Minho said earlier made everything which he considered as a fear vanished. Suddenly he could feel the mild breeze caressing his skin, and he never felt this way before.
“You can stay.”
Kibum could hear himself whispered. He didn’t know what brought himself to say it. Minho didn’t seem to understand, because he quickly shifting his gaze to Kibum, tilting his head a bit.
“You can stay in my place if you want. I’ve known about your condition, Kevin told me yesterday.”
And before both of them could ever register anything else, their lips were already brushing gently against each other, and the skyscraper was the only witness of their secret tryst.
They didn’t know where this thing would bring them to, they didn’t even need to know, they just simply let the wind blew and carried all of the grief away.
