Something Deep Inside (Chapter 4)
Something Deep Inside - Chapter 4
"Why were you at the hospital? I never told anyone I was there" YunHo asked for....gosh, YooChun lost count.
"I didn't know you were there either" YooChun slumped his whole body on the couch. He's really tired after too much thinking.
"Then, how come you're there?"
"I don't know" YooChun sighed, hand rubbing his temples.
"Come on, YooChun"
This is going nowhere. He remembers standing, staring, was taking his own sweet time to build up courage to approach him first when their phone rang and the next minute when the phone call ended with YunHo screaming at him about why he's at the hospital, he looks up and the boy is gone. What dumb luck!
The car ride back has left him with more headache because YunHo kept asking him for an explanation which he didn't know where to start. He had a small urge to just stop the car and kick YunHo out but YooChun was born nice so he endures it; besides he can't possibly do that to his ten year old friend.
YooChun knows YunHo is plain worried. The last time YooChun ended up in the hospital was five years ago, when he got himself injured just to save a boy he barely knew from being bullied. He was in coma for three weeks, couldn't walk for a few months but that doesn't mean YunHo can be such a b***h right now.
YooChun ignores YunHo and went to his room, lay down on his back and stares at the white ceiling. He closes his eyes after a while and as the face appears in his mind, he opens his eyes abruptly, sits up and to his surprise, the headache is gone. His face formed a smile, an unknown feeling surfaces as he writes on his 'to-do' lists of the week.
'Must talk to him'
He shuts the diary, places on the nightstand and went back to sleep. Smiling.

"There. Your book" KiBum hands the blue notebook.
"Thanks" ChangMin took the book shyly.
They were at the hospital just a while ago when YunHo suddenly suggested to have him driving KiBum back to get his 'very' important notebook that he couldn't live without. ChangMin was about to strangle his cousin but when KiBum accepted the offer, he thanked YunHo silently. He was so nervous of driving and the fact KiBum is sitting next to him that, he made the wrong turn everytime. KiBum was caught laughing several times that ChangMin couldn't help but to make more wrong ones on purpose.
"Hey..um...I'm sorry" KiBum stood in front of him, looking down at the ground.
"For what?" ChangMin could smell the scent of fresh grass of his hair.
"You know...yesterday" KiBum looks up to see ChangMin looking away.
"Ah...um..well -"
"I wasn't in a good mood and -" KiBum thought he must be angry for dissing him off like that.
"I'm just happened to be there?" ChangMin tries to guess.
"No, I mean...well, kind of" KiBum scratched his head. "I don't usually do that"
"It's okay" ChangMin is happy enough to know KiBum wasn't doing it on purpose.
"No, it's not okay. I felt really bad" KiBum takes a deep breath. "Can I buy you a drink or something?"
"Um...well..."
"It's okay if you do not want to. I mean -"
"NO! It's not that. I need to get lunch for my hyungs first" ChangMin waved his hands furiously.
"Some other time then" KiBum side-glanced at him. "But, you will, right?"
"Of course. I wouldn't miss it for the world" ChangMin said out loud, after realizing, he softens "I mean, yes...I will"
"Okay then" KiBum nodded, looking away, really happy.
"Okay" ChangMin looked the other way, extremely happy.

Barely a day JaeJoong arrived to Weston East and here he is, in pyjamas, head wrapped, sitting on the bed with layers of covers on top of him to get rid of the freezing cold and a slight headache. Sometimes pacing around the kitchen commenting on JunSu's cooking skills, which annoys the younger.
The door bell rang, JaeJoong opens to see a man or a woman, he isn't sure.
"Oops, did I catch you at a bad time?"
"Hello?" JaeJoong looks confused.
"Oh, sorry, I'm Kim HeeChul. Your neighbour from across the hall. I heard about your little accident. And I baked you a cake"
"It was no accident" JaeJoong shakes his head.
"Excuse me?"
"It was an attempted murder. Failed. Lucky for me though" JaeJoong didn't believe a word coming from his assailant's mouth, no matter how many times he emphasized the word 'unintentional'. "Come in"
"Thanks" HeeChul walks into the apartment, gulps. "Murder you say?"
"That's my brother, JunSu"
"Hello" JunSu bows, offers a hand to shake.
"Oh, I never shake hands. Not for hygiene mind you, just that I can read minds by touch. And sometimes these things can lead to meaningless sex" HeeChul explained with a polite smile, in order not to offend JunSu.
"It's okay. Would like some coffee?"
"Um? NO!"
"Hi, HeeChul-hyung!" KiBum appeared from his room to the kitchen, after a change into a more comfortable attire. "Relax. It's not poison if that's what you're thinking"
"No - no. I don’t drink coffee. I’m more of a juice person so to speak"
"What do you study?" JaeJoong failed to notice KiBum's 'cut' gestures from behind HeeChul.
"I'm in advertising, am now in sophomore but I do run an adult website. Fellows by fellows. It's very tasteful"
JaeJoong coughs up his coffee. "Really?"
"Yeah - it’s not vulgar like those other kinds. It’s got more of a new age flavour. Men in charge of their bodies. I do most of the filming in my room. The boys I work with feel more relaxed, more comfortable"
"Really?"
"Yeah, anytime you want to watch, just ask" HeeChul winked.
"No - it’s fine. I’m fine" JaeJoong coughs, feeling very uncomfortable. "No need"
"By the way, who was the murderer? Mafia connected? Colombian cartel?" HeeChul walks around the living, eyes on the interior design.
"Waiter"
"Oh, you mean YunHo?"
"Know him, do you?"
"He attended one of my seminars once" HeeChul looks at JunSu then KiBum, smirked "..with his friends"
"Tantric sex?"
"Psychic channeling"
"I can see that" JaeJoong clears his throat, rubbing his temples. His slight headache switches to HUGE.
"Hmm...you sure you're not interested in joining my site?" HeeChul saw the cue, looks at KiBum for the last time.
"No, not now" KiBum has no doubt but add a 'not now' to not sound offensive.
"I’m sorry. I’ve embarrassed you" HeeChul giggled. "Well, I better get going...oh and KiBum, don't tell anyone I've asked. Same applies to you, JunSu"
"Excuse me?" JunSu and KiBum asked, choke on their water.
"Please spare my life" HeeChul opens the door and makes a little wave. "So long"
"What did he meant by that?" KiBum asked after the door closed.
