Summary: It is Yesung's turn to take care of Kyuhyun.
Arc I Arc II
Yesung yawned as he nursed a cup of coffee in the kitchen. Even though it was not that early, he still felt like sleeping. But Eeteuk-hyung had woken him up, telling him that they were all leaving the dorm now and that he was leaving Kyuhyun in his hands. Yesung nodded, sitting up on his bed. He shuffled his way to the kitchen as he always do every morning after brushing his teeth and started the coffee machine. He couldn’t possibly take care of Kyuhyun when his brain was half asleep.
As the aroma of the hot coffee filled the kitchen, Yesung felt his brain wake a little. Pouring a generous cup for himself, Yesung sat down at the table savouring his coffee. He was so engrossed in his coffee that he did not notice someone walking into the kitchen until he heard the chair scratched the floor. That’s weird. Who could it be? No one is at home except me and Kyuhyun. Yesung lifted his eyes to the side, glancing at the person next to him.
Oh. It’s Kyuhyun. Yesung stared at Kyuhyun. I forgot that Kyuhyun is not restricted to bed anymore. Wake up brain. Yesung took another gulp of his coffee.
“Good morning Yesung-hyung.” Kyuhyun said as he sat down gingerly on the chair.
Yesung mumbled something incomprehensive into his cup as he took another mouth of the black hot coffee. Kyuhyun hid a smile behind his hand. It was obvious that Yesung was not fully awake yet. It was always fun to see his hyung look so grouchy in the morning. It was always fun to observe Yesung’s reactions early in the morning before he was fully awake as long as one did not come between Yesung and his coffee. Pray that no one ever does. Kyuhyun would never think of getting in between a sleepy Yesung and his coffee.
Kyuhyun turned his thoughts to food. He looked around the kitchen, searching for something to eat. His appetite was slowly returning as the illness began to lose its hold on him. He spotted a cereal box on the table near the sink. He was about to push himself up to get it when Yesung placed a hand on his.
“Let me get it for you.”
Before Kyuhyun could say anything, Yesung had stood up and walked towards the sink to put his cup. Yesung, though he was still sleepy, was still observant to Kyuhyun’s needs. Kyuhyun simply sat down on the chair again and waited, seeing that by the time he made a protest Yesung would have already prepared the cereal. Yesung walked back to the table holding two bowls of cereal. He placed it in front of Kyuhyun as he sat down.
“Eat. You need to eat more.”
He looked at Kyuhyun until Kyuhyun picked up the spoon to eat. He is still too thin. I should ask Hankyung-hyung to cook more for him. Then Yesung turned back to his bowl and began eating. As he ate, he wondered what he and Kyuhyun could do for the day with just the two of them in the dorm.
When he was eating halfway, Yesung asked Kyuhyun. “What do you feel like doing today?”
Kyuhyun held his spoon in halfway into his mouth as he paused at that question. Kyuhyun closed his mouth around his spoon, chewing and swallowing the cereal before answering.
“Today? Don’t you have anything on?”
Kyuhyun was curious. How come there was someone with him every day. It was not that he did not appreciate having his hyungs with him - in fact Kyuhyun was truly delighted that his hyungs were there; it was just that it was unusual for them to have an empty schedule the whole day. He really didn’t expect to have someone with him all the time, especially since Kyuhyun was used to spending his time alone. Kyuhyun did not ask why he was back at the dorm or how he got back here as he vaguely remembered hearing voices speaking around him about bringing him back to the dorm no matter what.
To be honest, Kyuhyun was really happy to be back with his hyungs. He didn’t like staying in the house with no one but four walls. It was a residual fear from young. His father had chased him out of the room where his parents were quarrelling and locked him in his room alone. Kyuhyun had wanted to scream and shout for his father to let him out, but he did not dare to anger his father even more. He stayed closed to the door the whole night in the darkness for the lights in his room had fused the day before, staring at nothing but the walls around him. By the time he was let out of the room - by the housekeeper then, his father had already packed up and left. The previous night was the last time he saw his father. Since then, Kyuhyun hated being surrounded by four walls with no one else. He associated it with people leaving him. Kyuhyun knew that it was irrational, but he could not help it.
“Kyuhyunnie?”
Kyuhyun turned to Yesung with a puzzled look.
“You didn’t answer my question. What had you so engrossed in?” Yesung asked, a little worried at the expressions on Kyuhyun’s face - sadness and fear.
Kyuhyun shook his head.
“Nothing, I was just thinking about what we could do.”
Yesung did not really believe his words, but he decided to let it be this time.
“So, have you thought of something?”
“Can we go out for a walk?”
Kyuhyun stared at his half-eaten cereal, a little bashful about his request. Yesung stared at the simple request. They had all forgotten Kyuhyun had been trapped inside the house for at least one whole week. Yesung looked out to the sky. It was bright with not a single dark cloud in sight.
“We can go for a walk in the afternoon if the weather holds.”
“Not now?”
“Are you sure you want to go out with just you and me? We might be mobbed by fans. Ryeowook and Shindong will be back just after lunch. We can go with them then k?”
Yesung didn’t want to bring Kyuhyun out on his own. He would not be able to protect Kyuhyun from over-enthusiastic fans alone. Kyuhyun looked at Yesung, conceding the point about the fans.
“Wookie-hyung and Shindong-hyung are coming back later?”
Yesung nodded.
“Will they want to accompany us? What if they’re tired?”
Kyuhyun didn’t want to force his hyungs to go out if they wanted to rest.
“Don’t worry about that. We’ll ask them later. I promise even if they don’t want to go, I’ll bring you out on my own later.”
Yesung tried to assure Kyuhyun, even though he knew that Ryeowook and Shindong would definitely be glad to go out with Kyuhyun. Kyuhyun nodded and proceeded to finish his cereal.
“What shall we do in the meantime?” Yesung said as he brought the bowls to the wash basin.
Kyuhyun leaned on the chair, thinking. He could not really think of what to do because his mind was just filled with the outing and the impending physiotherapy session the next day.
“Kyuhyunnie, do you want to practice some singing? We can always play on the keyboard in my room.” Yesung suggested, thinking that Kyuhyun would love to sing.
He was right.
“Really? We can do that, Hyung?”
Yesung dried his hands with a cloth and turned to Kyuhyun.
“Yes we can. In fact we can start right now.”
Yesung walked to Kyuhyun, offering his help. Kyuhyun smiled as he stood up. He held on to Yesung’s hand as they walked to the room. Walking was not as strenuous as yesterday though his speed was still very slow as compared to the day they went to the park. Yesung led Kyuhyun to the bed, letting him sit on the edge first before helping Kyuhyun move further into the bed to lean against the wall. Yesung made sure Kyuhyun was comfortable before he went to find his scores.
Kyuhyun was secretly happy for the chance to sing. With his mother’s illness and him falling sick subsequently, Kyuhyun had missed singing. He had missed singing especially with his hyungs. Yesung sneaked a peak at Kyuhyun, smiling at the happiness emitting from his dongsaeng. He was really glad to see Kyuhyun happy. Yesung looked at the scores and started playing. They started singing.
Kyuhyun let himself be lost in the music, searching for the reasons that made him endure the physiotherapy sessions in the past, the reasons that would help him through the sessions in the future. Kyuhyun was delighted that his lungs were not giving him any problems; that he was able to sing without a problem that the doctor had feared before hand with his flu. He was one step closer to joining his hyungs again. If only he could join them right away. Kyuhyun was not sure if he found the reasons, but Kyuhyun knew that this moment would be one he remembered when he faced difficulties during the physiotherapy. He knew that it would become one of the reasons to endure the physiotherapy - to be able to sing with his hyungs.
After an hour plus of practicing, Yesung called a stop to it.
“Okay, we should stop here. You shouldn’t suddenly practice too much.”
Yesung turned towards Kyuhyun, who was still absorbed in the music.
“Kyuhyunnie, I’ve stopped playing.”
Kyuhyun opened his eyes and looked at Yesung. He blushed when he saw that Yesung’s hands were not on the keyboard. Yesung laughed heartily at Kyuhyun walking over to sit by Kyuhyun on the bed.
“You’ve really missed singing right?”
Kyuhyun nodded, leaning his head on the wall. Yesung looked at Kyuhyun, who still had a blissful look on his face. He contemplated whether he should say it, or simply echo the in his heart.
“We’ve missed you.”
Yesung stared at Kyuhyun as he said that. Yesung wanted to say that to Kyuhyun for a long time ever since the accident. He had the feeling that few or none had ever said that to Kyuhyun before, not even from Super Junior. But Yesung really wanted to just tell Kyuhyun his feelings.
Kyuhyun looked at Yesung in astonishment, proving Yesung right with his thoughts. Kyuhyun did not think that his presence was sorely missed in a group of thirteen. He might have felt their love through their actions, but he had never had it said out loud to him before. Yesung knew how powerful words could be - whoever that said that words did not hurt was an idiot. The proof was right in front of him. Kyuhyun continued to look at Yesung with astonishment and happiness etched on his face. Yesung just did not expect those three words to mean that much to Kyuhyun.
Kyuhyun leaned forward to hug his hyung, whispering into his ear.
“I’ve missed you all.”
Yesung smiled, feeling the prick in his eyes. It was the first time Kyuhyun had voiced out his feelings for them in words. Usually, one had to guess Kyuhyun’s true feelings as he never told anyone how he felt towards them. Yesung patted Kyuhyun gently on the head, before gently breaking out of the hug.
“You should get some sleep if you want to go out later. You’re still not at your best yet.”
Kyuhyun nodded, even if he didn’t feel like sleeping then. Yesung got off the bed and was about to help Kyuhyun when he remembered.
“Oh! Kyu, stay there. I’m supposed to change your bandage.”
Yesung ran out of the room to get the first aid box, leaving Kyuhyun on the bed. Kyuhyun stared at his hand. He had almost forgotten about the wound on his hand. It didn’t hurt, it didn’t disturb him in anyway, unlike his other injury, and hence the hand injury was not at the forefront of his mind. Yesung came back into the room holding the first aid kit. He took out a scissors and cut the bandage. Gently and slowly, Yesung peeled the bandage off Kyuhyun’s hand, exposing the cuts-filled hand to Kyuhyun.
It was the first time Kyuhyun was seeing his injury. He really didn’t think that it looked so severe. It did not seem to hurt enough for an injury with so many cuts. Yesung dabbed the antiseptic onto the wound, ready to stop anytime he sensed that Kyuhyun was in pain. But Kyuhyun simply just observed his actions, not showing any reaction to his motions. He has a very high pain tolerance. Yesung concluded in his mind. He took up a roll of bandage and began wrapping the wound. Throughout the whole thing, Kyuhyun simply stared at his hand, not making a single sound. It was not the prettiest thing in the world on display. He stared with a morbid fascination at the wounds, his eyes going through them, marking each on as a reminder to himself that his hyungs would be there no matter what happens. Or at least I hope they would. Kyuhyun wondered if it hurt as much as it looked when he first punched the mirror. He could not really remember.
“There, all done.” Yesung declared as he tied up the bandage. Kyuhyun lifted his hand, saying thank you to Yesung. Yesung stood up to stop Kyuhyun when he was trying to stand.
“There’s no need to go back to your room to rest. Just sleep on my bed. I don’t mind. Besides you can keep me company till Ryeowook and Shindong come back.”
Yesung pushed Kyuhyun gently onto the bed in a lying position before Kyuhyun could protest.
“Sleep. I’ll wake you when they come back.”
Kyuhyun nodded. And despite his thoughts that he was not tired, Kyuhyun drifted off quickly to the lullaby Yesung was humming by his side.
Kyuhyun woke up just after one, too excited about the walk to fall back asleep. He sat up on the bed, swinging his legs towards the floor and looked around. Yesung was not in the room, although Kyuhyun was sure that Yesung was there just a while ago, seeing how the scores were scattered all over the keyboard showing that Yesung was trying to compose a song.
Kyuhyun used the bed as support to push himself up. He walked towards the door, intending to find Yesung to ask if Ryeowook and Shindong were back already. As he opened the door, Yesung was walking towards him with a bowl.
“Kyu! You’re awake! Just in time. Come, go to the living room and have lunch.”
Yesung turned and quickly walked to the living room to put down the bowl of soup. He rushed back to Kyuhyun’s side to aid him. They took small steps to the living room. Kyuhyun was slowly regaining his strength which the illness had drained him off, although Kyuhyun doubted that he would be able to cover the distance by himself which he could before his illness.
When Kyuhyun sat down on the sofa, Yesung carried the soup to him.
“Here. I didn’t cook it. Don’t worry. You won’t get food poisoning.”
Yesung reassured Kyuhyun that the soup was bought.
As Kyuhyun drank the soup, Yesung continued. “Ryeowook and Shindong should be back soon. Finish your soup and we’ll go change. By then, they should be back. Or we’ll just leave by ourselves.”
Although I really hope that they would be back by then. I don’t want to face Teukie or anyone else if they learned that I brought Kyu for a walk by myself. Yesung prayed that his two dongsaeng came back soon.
Kyuhyun finished the soup, a first in days, and set it down on the table.
“Are you sure hyung? We’re really going for the walk?” Kyuhyun asked to clarify once again.
Yesung nodded and took the bowl.
“Yup. Go change.”
Kyuhyun stood up and slowly went to his room to change. Yesung washed up and went to change as well.
Yesung stared at the door to their dorm as he walked past it, praying that it would open soon. He really didn’t want to face the wreath of Teukie-Umma, Kangin-Appa, Heechullie, Hannie, Siwonnie, Minnie, Hae, Hyukkie, Bummie, Wookie and Shindongie if they find out that Yesung had brought Kyuhyun out alone. He shuddered.
Please come back quickly.
