[NC-17] BREATHE INTO ME (14/??)
Decimocuarto Tumba:
WAITING
“I…” Ryeowook breathed out with so much difficulty. He didn’t know what to do, whether to tell them or not. Eunhyuk’s words were so convincing and so did his Sooman sangsaengnim’s. He couldn’t choose side. “I’m sorry… I didn’t finish my mission…” Ryeowook let out. Now, he was more hesitating to continue his words.
There were scenes flashing through his mind. Everything was showing the comparison of each side. He didn’t want to disappoint those who gave him his life back yet the other side were so inviting. The great Eunhyuk and his Sungmin hyung or the man that brought him back his life, which had a greater weight in his heart and it was confusing him more.
“It’s okay Ryeowook. Having you back safe and sound was enough.” Sooman spoke and that tempted Ryeowook more.
“But…” He started yet he couldn’t finish. The picture of the man he hurt came so suddenly in his mind. ”…did I make the right choice?” He asked himself once more but there was no turning back.
“Good, you had done great for this organization, especially to me. You didn’t fail me. And I’m so proud of you.” Sooman praised him and that made Ryeowook smiled yet limitedly. He felt relieved yet his heart and mind kept shouting. ”This is wrong and you know it…”
-------------------
Hankyung fidgeted as he reached the floor of a familiar subject. His nerves tensioned as the doors of the elevator flung open. Beats of sweat formed in his forehead. He was indeed nervous.
He stepped out of the elevator and took a one more glance at its reflecting metal door that was close now. ”Do I look good?” He inquired to himself after looking at his reflection. He felt like a teenager going out on his first day. He breathed out and took the remaining steps towards the doorway of his purpose of coming there.
Looking at the door, he knocked several times even though he knew there was an answering machine somewhere. He wanted someone to actually open the door without actually seeing him first to the device as the visitor. He was afraid that the door wouldn’t open for him.
When no one answered after sometime, he tried to knock again but stopped midway when the door creaked open finally, revealing a beautiful face he was longing for 7 years.
He was there, standing with femininity in his radiance. There was a hint of shocked that soon faded as soon as the man talked. “Can I do something for you?” The guy raised an eyebrow. It seemed that he didn’t want to be disturbed.
“I’m… erm… Hi…” Hankyung didn’t know what to say. Words kept slipping from his mouth without him processing it through his mind. He was nervous after all. Who wouldn’t after seeing the love of your life after 7 years? And there was more, it seemed he didn’t remember him at all or did he really forget about him?
He couldn’t restrain himself anymore. He may act reckless now but not of it matter finding the one you were missing so much. He rushed into him and locked him into his arms. Tears came streaming down from his orbs and glint of happiness invaded his once suffering heart. He cursed himself for believing he as dead and didn’t had a faith that he’d come back to his warmth once more. Now, his wish was fulfilled. His family was now complete. He would do anything to keep them intact. With all his might and wits, he’d protect them with all his might.
“I miss you Chul-ah…” He cried in happiness.
After securing the said male in his arms, there was no response coming from him. He was just stiffened under that tight embrace yet Hankyung didn’t mind. All he care was having Heechul back in to his arms. He was lost in trance of longing until a force pushed him away.
“Don’t give me that damn words Hankyung!”
Those words pierced through Hankyung’s heart as shock knocked down his senses. He gaped to the guy in front of him as tears continued pouring down yet the other didn’t show any emotions except hatred and anger.
“Chul-ah~”
Crack!
“Why the hell are you even here?!” Heechul exploded that he punched the framework of the door rather punching Hankyung just to let out his frustrations. Even how many times he said that he hated the Chinese guy, now that he was in front of him, he just couldn’t hurt him.
Even though he was trembling, Hankyung went in and manage to close the door behind him. He cupped Heechul’s face but the latter bashed the hand away.
“Why would anyone leave me alone?!” Heechul shouted as he turned and walked inner of the apartment. He was now breaking down now even though he shouldn’t but his eyes betrayed him and tears continued to flow. He felt arms sheltering him in a tight embrace from his back and a head by his shoulder. He felt wet by that part as Hankyung’s tears continued to pour and landing to his shoulders.
“Heechul… please don’t do this…” Heechul’s breathe snagged as he felt the sensation of those words released by the man he couldn’t deny that he loved no matter what. Once again, he got weak under his touches. Even though how many years had pass, his heart belonged only to him.
---------------------------------------------------------
Hankyung was humming a Chinese lullaby to his son. It was the only lullaby that Taemin loved to listen every night to haul his self to slumber. Hankyung remembered perfectly that it was the same lullaby Heechul wanted to hear every time he wanted to sleep and dreamed of beautiful memories and not a single nightmare would run to his resting mind. He removed the stands in the little forehead of his son and placed a kiss on it. “And for your Mama too…” said he and repeated what he just did. He then fixed the blanket covering his little body and let the little guy sleep peacefully. He walked towards the window and lean on it, “Sleep tight my little one. When everything is over… you’ll see your mama again… and we’ll be together again.” smiled Hankyung to no one in particular. A genuine smile he hadn’t released for those 7 years that had passed until now.
---------------------------------------------------------
Heechul was sitting beside the window. Only rays of the moonlight shone his presence. Silence illuminated the whole place. Unlike his usual routine of drinking alcohol or a glass of whisky on his hand, it was entirely different this time. It was a small wallet-size photo book that occupied his hands, flipping through its tiny pages slowly and studying each feature the subject the photos in it, his son that he thought was dead.
Catching their breaths after their previous activity, Hankyung brought his lips towards the red mumps of the other. Heechul then placed his head on Hankyung’s chest as he listened to every beat the latter’s heart made.
“Hannie~” called Heechul through his favorite pet name to his lover.
“Hmmm?” hummed Hankyung as his response.
“Hum that lullaby for me… please…” requested Heechul. Without hesitation or delay, Hankyung did what was requested and hummed the said lullaby. Heechul closed his eyes and listened to it intently but not planning to sleep, afraid that if he woke up, he’d find out it was all just a dream. When Hankyung finished, he kissed Heechul’s sweaty hair.
“Chul-ah…” called Hankyung. “Chul-ah?!” called Hankyung again this time in panic when the other didn’t respond.
“I’m still awake you know.. you don’t have to shout.. geez.” said Heechul a bit annoyed, making Hankyung to chuckle.
“You and Taemin ar so alike… he really took a lot of traits from you.” said Hankyung and chuckled in delight once again. Though it caught Heechul’s full attention.
“Huh? Taemin?!” exclaimed Heechul who instantly faced Hankyung.
“Yeah, our Taemin sure is a copy of you… he took a lot of features and traits from you… of course he took some from me but definitely more-“ said Hankyung but couldn’t continue when Heechul sat up.
“What’s wrong? Is there something wrong?” asked Hankyung immediately as he sat up too.
“Taemin… our Taemin is alive?” asked Heechul who couldn’t face Hankyung and couldn’t believe what he was hearing.
“Yeah, he’s turning 8 years old in-“ said Hankyung yet couldn’t finish again when Heechul hugged him and started sobbing once again.
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry… I… I thought… I-I’m s-sorry…” sobbed Heechul harder.
“Sssh, stop crying… you don’t need to be sorry…” comforted Hankyung.
“But I… I-I didn’t b-believe in you… I’m sorry…” said Heechul.
“Ssssh… it’s okay now… see you alive is what’s more important…” said Hankyung as he lifted Heechul’s chin up and wiped his tears. He hauled Heechul back to his arms and then spoke, “I think it’s better this way…” said Hankyung with a smile.
DLING!
Hankyung then noticed the clock striking six in the evening. “Shoot, I need to go or the organization might get suspicious.” said Hankyung as he stood up, gathered his clothes and start wearing them. But then he paused midway and asked, “ What’s going to happen to us?”
Heechul bit his lower lip and looked away first. Hankyung sat down first and made Heechul to face him back. “I’m sorry Hannie… this isn’t yet the time… the organization must not know my whereabouts or they’ll do something to Taemin for sure… or even to you… I know there will be the time when all three of us will be together.. For now, let’s just wait.” said Heechul as he cupped Hankyung’s cheek as the latter nuzzle under the touch.. Hankyung lean his forehead to Heechul's forehead and then placed a kiss on it.
“I’ll wait for that time Chul-ah… I’ll wait…” smiled Hankyung. He continued dressing up and once fully dressed, he looked up to Heechul who was just observing him. “Here…” said he as he fished something on his pocket. “I’m sure you’ll love to see it. Definitely you’ll see how he grew so beautiful just like you.” said Hankyung as he handed Heechul a wallet sized photo book.
"Be sure to kiss him for me..." requested Heechul and Hankyung nodded. He kissed Heechul’s forehead, then his closed eye lids and then his lips before leaving complete the apartment. A tear was forming on the corner of Heechul’s eyes that he finally let go when happiness enlightened his heart.
Caressing the picture, he was never happier than now. “We’ll all be together soon when everything is over…” promised Heechul to himself.
-------------------
“How’s your wound? Fine I hope.” asked Kangin as he brought some medicine and food for Yesung to take and eat.
“Ah yeah… thanks~” replied Yesung.
“Now, let me check on your wound first.” said Leeteuk who barged in. He approached Yesung and checked the wound on his arm. Kangin just stood there, observing the check up.
“You know Hon, you’re not a pediatrician so your expertises are children, not wounded man…” teased Kangin.
“Well, don’t forget Mr. Vet. I’m still a doctor so hush and let me concentrate on my work.” said Leeteuk with a raised of eye brow and Kangin just smiled.
“Rest more now Yesung-sshi… your wound isn’t completely healed that it may bleed if you move to much…” reminded Leeteuk.
“There’s no need to be formal Teukkie. He’s same with us. He just recently came back for a mission…” said Kangin.
“Arasso, now let Sunggie sleep.” said Leeteuk and pushed Kangin out of the room.
“Why are you calling him in a pet name?” outburst Kangin.
“And are you jealous? Hush now Hon and let him sleep..” scolded Leeteuk.
“But-“
“No buts and hush~”
And then the door closed leaving the observing Yesung to blink his eyes in disbelief but smiling. Soon afterwards, he found himself chuckling over the little lover’s quarrel. He then glanced by the balcony of the room where he was staying and his eyes widened. He quickly went out of the balcony and he just found it empty.
“I was… so sure it was him.. Men, I’m hallucinating… I need to rest~” said Yesung and massage his temples as he headed back to the bed.
-------------------
Down the dining hall were Siwon and the others and later joined by Kangin and Leeteuk,
“I guess we should follow Sungmin’s advise of changing location for our hideout. We aren’t safe here anymore.” said Siwon, starting the so-called meeting.
“No, I trust Ryeowook. He wouldn’t give our location to them…” refused Eunhyuk.
“But Hyukkie, we couldn’t be sure. You did see what he did... What he did to Sulli... We couldn’t risk handling them Donghae and Sulli…” said Siwon.
“Yeah… it would be disaster if Pluto is on our backs…” spoke Kangin.
“Let’s trust Ryeowook please… I don’t know much about him but I’ve experience the same. I’m sure he’ll found out about the organization’s lies and he’ll side with us.” convinced Eunhyuk, then looked at Donghae. “Please Hae, let’s wait how things would turn out.” said Eunhyuk, convincing him to support his opinion.
“But Hyukkie, I don’t think it’s the right decision…” said Donghae in hesitation. Everything was confusing now.
“I don’t know to you guys, but for me it seems Ryeowook is hesitating to attack us… That guy is just confuse…” defended Leeteuk, saying his opinion was the same with Eunhyuk.
“I don’t know… he might attack again in the future.” said Siwon, stating his worries. They couldn’t be careless now.
“But don’t forget, we don’t have anywhere to ran if we moved out now.” pointed Kibum suddenly.
“Well, that’s another problem. We couldn’t risk involving civilians so moving back to the city isn’t a good option.” said Siwon finally giving up.
“Then it’s settled, we’ll stay here and just defend ourselves if they attack us again.” chirped Eunhyuk in enthusiasm. He won over the debate that made him do his victory posed. Well, actually it was a useless debate in the other’s opinion. Donghae rolled his eyes, truly Eunhyuk’s innocence or rather childishness still hadn’t fade even after the situation they were in.
“I guess I’ll take on the watch for tonight…” said Siwon.
“Nah, you’re tired. I’ll just do it.” insisted Kibum and Siwon smiled his thanks.
“Let’s go have a rest. It’s been a long night~” announced Leeteuk and said his greeting of the night and headed to his room with Kangin. The others did the same while Kibum went to his pose to be on watch for tonight. Donghae was the only one left and was looking for Eunhyuk who seemed to instantly disappear.
“If you’re looking for your lover, Uyu already went to your room if you didn’t notice.” said Kangin before completely disappeared to his shared room with Leeteuk.
Donghae whistled as he went to his their shared room. He went in but stopped when he saw Eunhyuk standing by their bed, with crossed arms and a continuous tapping foot. What alerted Donghae more was the fact that Eunhyuk seemed pissed over something.
“Hi honey, errr, what’s wrong?” said Donghae a bit nervous.
“You’re staying outside our room!”
“Eh? Hyuk-“ before Donghae could react, he was being pushed forcedly outside the room.
“Stay out tonight!!! I’m mad at you~” shouted Eunhyuk and then…
SLAM!!!
“Huh? Wait! Hyukkie!!! Hyukkie!!!” shouted Donghae as he knocked on the closed door several times.
“Someone seems to be sleeping outside tonight…” said Leeteuk who was peeping from their room.
“Teukkie hyung!” whined Donghae.
“Hahaha, just wait… Hyukkie would open the door for you.” smiled Leeteuk.
“I hope so…” sighed Donghae.
“Now hush down and let the others to sleep okay?” said Leeteuk and then went back inside while slamming too their door. Donghae then sighed again. He turned around when he heard the door behind him creaked open. Donghae sneaked in and Eunhyuk sitting in the bed welcomed him.
“Uhm…” hummed Donghae as he sat beside Eunhyuk while scratching the back of his nape. “I don’t really know what made you upset but I’m really sorry…” said Donghae.
“No don’t… it’s just childish to be upset of you disagreeing with me… I should understand why you don’t agree since you’re just thinking about the safety of all of us. I’m sorry Donghae…” admitted Eunhyuk.
“Aniyo… don’t be… it’s okay… at least you didn’t really let me sleep outside for tonight…” grinned Donghae as he hugged Eunhyuk but then he felt Eunhyuk pushing him away.
“So you’re only after sleeping here for tonight and not about my feelings or to be with me tonight. Fine, you sleep here alone and I’ll sleep in the other room I’ll find!” shouted Eunhyuk and walked away.
“Eh, Hyukkie! Come on~” shouted Donghae following his slightly angry lover.
On the other room,
“It seemed Uyu is having mood swings lately, don’t you think?” commented Leeteuk who was leaning his ear to hear the commotions on the other room.
“Maybe he’s already pregnant. Guess Donghae didn’t listen to me to use condoms in doing it. Tsk~” said Kangin smiling while putting his night shirt on.
“Eh? Uyu can be pregnant?” exclaimed Leeteuk.
“Yeah… Uyu’s slightly different remember?” pointed Kangin.
“Oh yeah… oh well..” said Leeteuk.
“Now, let’s sleep shall we?” invited Kangin.
“Oh really? I was thinking of doing something but since your sleepy.. Let’s just sleep…” teased Leeteuk as he went under the covers.
“eh? I’m up I’m up!!!” exclaimed Kangin. “Come on Teukkie… I know you wanna do it~” teased Kangin this time. Leeteuk then sat up and grinned.
“Shall we do it tonight?” asked Leeteuk seductively.
“Oh yeah~” cheered Kangin as he licked his upper lips.
It was going to be a long night not just for Donghae who would try to ease Eunhyuk’s tension, but also for the KangTeuk couple who would be easing each other by doing another way they knew.
[EuNic monkEy’s note: Okay, I don’t know what I’m doing… Just bear with me neh? Hahahahahaha~ *imagining KangTeuk*]
---------------------------------------------------------
Kyuhyun sighed as mounted the elevator of the company. Since Donghae left, his job was passed to him. Now, he had to stay late to finish all before the deadline. If ever he sees that sunbae of his, definitely he’d kill him. He just clicked the button and then stretched a bit his aching neck. Ah, definitely he’d fall in sleep right after he got home. Though he was hoping Sungmin was already back home. He missed him so much. He was startled when someone suddenly put their hands on his shoulder but the tension went down when that someone spoke, “Seems you’re a bit tired Kyunnie?”
“Minnie~” called Kyuhyun as he looked back and find his lover smiling back at him, still his hands on Kyuhyun’s shoulder and circling it around his head. Kyuhyun walked forward as Sungmin walked backward. As Sungmin’s back reached the wall of the elevator, Kyuhyun’s lips rampaged towards Sungmin’s, savouring each other’s mouth. They only stopped when the elevator arrived at the basement floor.
“Kyuhyun?” called someone as the elevator door opened. Kyuhyun looked back while Sungmin stiffened already seeing who called. Instead of feeling nervous being caught in the act, Kyuhyun just acted cool.
“Good evening, Master Cho.. ” greeted Sungmin in an awkward way that he also bowed to the middle aged man but what also alerted Sungmin was the man standing next to Mr. Cho. “Good evening to Master Sooman.” said Sungmin and bowed again. Sooman just nod his head as an acknowledgement while Mr. Cho spoke.
“Good evening too. Kyuhyun, I thought you and Sungmin went home already?” said Mr. Cho, asking his son.
“Well, I need to stay and finish some work. We are just on our way heading home.” answered Kyuhyun. He walked passed through his father and Lee Sooman. Sungmin followed after bowing once again to both big bosses of the company.
While observing Kyuhyun and Sungmin riding Kyuhyun’s car and zooming way, Sooman made a comment, “It seemed our Kyuhyun is playing well…”
---------------------------------------------------------
There was a meeting being held in the Pluto company right that evening, Sooman and the big bosses of the company was present and so did Ryeowook.
“The day after tomorrow, we’ll attack the safe house they were at. Get the Corvuses ready.” announced Sooman in the meeting. He then faced Ryeowook, “Ryeowook… you’ll be the one to lead the attack. Remember your mission, kill Donghae and anyone who gets in the way.” Sooman instructed. Ryeowook nodded firmly yet there was hesitation in his eyes.
---------------------------------------------------------
A man removed the binoculars on his eyes and smirked. What was being talked about in the meeting was heard completely by 3 guys in a rooftop in the next building.
“Well, it seems Pluto is in haste don’t you think?” remarked by the guy holding the binoculars.
“Yeah… guess our wait is over.” said another one.
“Oi Changmin… don’t you think it’s time you should contact your lover?” said the one holding the binoculars
“Jaejoong hyung~” whined the Changmin guy.
“But men, thinking back… it seemed that we abandon them but we really didn’t. They’d be trill when they see us back on action.” aid Jaejoong chuckling.
“Well, it’s deally decessary. It was going oh well but Changmid’s found it out. Though he said he’ll keep it from the others but he really did, hick cause he’s gettid what we are plading eved if.. hick~ we didn’t tell him the whole. Changmid, your Kibum is sure a smart ass…” said the other one in a weird way.
“Yunho hyung, are you drunk? You talk so weird you know.” commented Changmin.
“Yeah.. a bit… hick~ a bit~ hahahaha…” said Yunho in a tipsy way.
“Let’s call Junsu and Yoochun and let’s get out of here. We better contact the president and tell him the development.” Jaejoong said
“But hyung, Yunho hyung sure isn’t in the condition.” reminded Changmin who is helping Yunho to walk. Yunho was doing weird drink like crossing his eyes.
“Aigoo, Yunho… I did warn you not to drink it… tsk tsk~” whined Jaejoong and then helped Changmin in helping his lover who still had a goofy face, the result of a drug he accidentally drank.
