Silent Words (6/6)
" Mom.. Don't do that.."
The situation was dibbling. Nothing was there except me, and Mother who held a knife in her hand.
" Goodbye."
Before i could stop her, she stabbed herself.
Blood was flowing down swiftly. All i saw was a knife punctured on her chest.
No word slipped out from my mouth. It was like a darkness and cold. Her messed hair and sweats mixed with eyes wide open was nothing more than.. scary.
" Taemin.."
I didn't expect she would speak in that condition.
" Dad loves you too much. and although i get jealousy burning over me and i harm you.. i realize i cant do this any longer.."
She stared at me.
" I need to leave you, so then i wont hurt you anymore."
And suddenly, she smiled, lovingly, with tears on her cheeks.
" Because i love you, my son, because i'm your mother."
It was her last words.
------------------
Taemin sat quietly on a lounge, leaned his back. He looked down to the floor while his mind was wandering to somewhere else. He had texted Kibum with Minho’s cellphone and he believed Kibum was on his way rushing to nearest hospital. Now all Taemin could do was only sitting and praying.
“ Taeminnie!”
A familiar voice was heard. Taemin glanced and he saw Kibum half running through the hallway. He panted and bent down little. “ Oh God i was in the middle of preparing dinner - What happened to Minho?”
Kibum expected Taemin would answer with piece of paper or phone like what they usually did.
“ He got into accident.”
Kibum was stunned.
“ Taemin.. You - “
Taemin stared Kibum, who still could not get over from shock. “ You.. speak..?”
“ I do,” Taemin briefly answered, “ I can”
Kibum shook his head to remind himself to ask Taemin what was actually happened. He sat next to Taemin and touched his palm. “ Mind to tell me?”
Tamein shut his eyes. “ It was because he saved me from accident.”
“ How is he now?”
Taemin fell in silence.
“ He’s safe, it was a miracle.”
“ Well.. Doctor said he can be saved..”
Taemin bit his lips.
" But there's something i can't assure to you, Mr.Lee."
“ Well..” Kibum’s voice was low, “ Why did both of you get in this situation?”
“ I was getting beaten by bullies,” Taemin replied, “ and i managed to run away.. to the road. I didn’t realize about the car rushing and suddenly Minho appeared and..” Taemin’s words stopped.
“ Taemin-ah..” Kibum’s eyes softened, “ Why didn’t you tell me about the bullies? I thought it already stopped?”
Taemin glared Kibum weakly, “ I know you were having fight with Jinki hyung and i didn’t want to bother you.”
Kibum was shocked. Taemin titled. “ Do you finally make up?”
“ .. Yeah.. and.. Well.. It turned out that Jinki ran after me and kissed me.. in front of that slut and..”
Taemin smiled. “ Thank Godness..”
Kibum could not help his tears and pulled Taemin to his embrace. “ Why, Taemin?” he sobbed, “ Why didn’t you tell me? Why didn’t you tell me that you were suffering? Why didn’t you share everything to me? Why? Why do you always keep a secret from me? You have me. You don’t need to worry to say something even if i have some problems to handle. You always carry your burden by yourself. Why are you so afraid? I’m your umma. I’m still yours, and forever. Both of us are family, Taemin-ah, and ..”
Hearing Kibum sobbed like no end, Taemin finally let tears fallen down. His body trembled. He closed his eyes.
" Kibum.."
" Since the damage of his body is quite serious and critical, we don't know the exact time he will be concious."
Taemin gripped the back of Kibum's shirt. His tears uncontrolablely fell, " I don't know when he will open his eyes again.."
Kibum gritted his teeth. He rubbed Taemin's hair. " Oh God, Taeminnie.."
" Why?" He cried, " Mom commited suicide because she loves me. She didn't want to hurt me."
The reason why i didn't speak isn't because i could not.
I'm scared.. to be loved.
Every word causes feeling.
And each voice causes love.
If i speak, then i'll let everyone know what i feel.
Love makes me to see blood.
I was scared to speak, scared to show my feeling.
Taemin tightened his grip.
But this time is different.
" And now Minho gets into this because of me."
If my voice can make him awaken,
I'll speak, i'll sing, i'll do everything.
If it's only the way he can hear me,
I'll do it.
" I don't get it, Kibum," Taemin sobbed, " Why this happened to me? Why it must be me? Why.. everyone.."
Taemin didn't strong enough to say more. He buried his face on Kibum's neck which got wetted by tears. Kibum hugged Taemin tighter.
" You are worth to be loved, Taemin," Kibum whispered, " You mean everything to them."
--------------
Taemin watched Minho, who laid on the hospital's bed, in silence. Taemin hadn't smiled since the day of incident, two days ago. He had not attended class either. His mind was too blank and tired to think. Seeing Minho left unconcious was enough to break his heart.
While Taemin was dazing off, someone knocked the door. Taemin lifted his chin and replied loud enough, " Come in."
As the door was opened, the knocker blinked in suprise. " Wow.. you speak."
Unexpectedly Kim Jonghyun was standing there with a basket of fruits. Taemin smiled slightly. Jonghyun stepped in and put the basket on a small table. Jonghyun turned around. " Is he still breathing?"
The 4D guy Jonghyun just asked something in a very weird way.
" Mm, he's fine, i guess.. perhaps," Taemin added the last word with a very small voice, but suprisingly Jonghyun's hearing was sharp enough. He laughed. " As long as he still breathes, he will be fine."
Taemin nodded. Jonghyun flipped Minho's bangs and frowned. " So when will you get back to school?"
" I don't know."
Jonghyun rised his left eyebrow. " Why..?"
Taemin sighed. " Nothing.. I just..."
Jonghyun pulled off his hand. " Well, honestly i was a bit shocked when i heard he got into accident."
Taemin's heart was like being digged when Jonghyun said 'accident'.
" But when i knew it was because he wanted to save you," Jonghyun continued, " I just shrugged."
Taemin lifted his chin in confusion. Jonghyun explained, " You know what, he never had sorta of special attention toward someone until he found you."
The brunette went frowny. He what?
" That day, he rejected to meet the girls from a local school and he dangled after you," Jonghyun told and chuckled, " that boy is really kind-hearted. Not mentioning his love to you."
Taemin almost didn't believe of what Jonghyun said. His mouth gaped widely as Jonghyun patted his head.
" Live fully now while taking care of him," Jonghyun said wisely, " face everything bravely. Just like what Minho did for you."
Taemin loosened his uniform collar as walked steady into the school. Like what Taemin had guessed, dozens pair of eyes were looking at him in a different glare. Taemin decided to ignore them and keep walking to his classroom. He passed Kim Jonghyun who looked bit suprised seeing him. Taemin ignored everything - he just walked. He reached the classroom's door and pulled it aside, jolting whole class. Taemin's eyes wandered and once he found his aim, he approached and stopped right in front of him.
Taemin sniffled. It was the bully who beaten him that day.
Taemin lifted his right hand and suddenly, he slapped that guy's cheek, loud enough to be heard by classmates.
The guy's eyes widened. Taemin glared at him threateningly.
" Don't ever dare to lay a finger on me."
and thus who being witnesses of Taemin suprisingly spoke, almost dropped their jaw. Taemin turned around and eyed whole class.
" You guys hear me, right."
As Taemin shouted out, his view met with Jonghyun's who actually was following him out of curiousity. Jonghyun was amazed with Taemin's boldness and smiled widely. Taemin, who was seeing Jonghyun's smile, sighed in relief as the return.
----------
Three month passed and Minho had not opened his eyes.
" Minho!"
Taemin stepped into Minho's room with bag in his hand. He smiled and tossed his bag aside. His class just ended and Taemin rushed down to the hospital, like usual. For three months, all he did was taking care Minho and staying by his side. Sometimes Taemin went back to his flat and Jonghyun replaced his duty. Minho's parents were busy to work and they entrusted Minho to Taemin. So then Taemin's current half of life was dedicated inside hospital's room, sitting beside Minho. Sometimes Taemin peeled an apple and ate it alone or just read a book. He spent his time most by staring at Minho's flawless face.
Just like now.
" Do you know, Minho? It has been three months and no one dares to bully me," Taemin told happily, " Kibum now accompanies me, along with Jonghyun and Jinki hyung if he hasn't any work in student council. Ever since i threatened the bullies, my school life was epically peace."
Minho, obviously didn't answer. Taemin's smile slowly faded out. He touched Minho's temple and rubbed it softly.
" Minho," Taemin's eyes started all watery, " Today's date is exactly even four months our meeting, right?"
Taemin's hand went down to Minho's and grabbed it tenderly. " Minho," he called in whisper, " do you hear me?"
Taemin leaned his head on Minho's palm and shut his wet eyes. " Wake up.." he cried quietly, " i miss you.."
The chilly wind blowed through the opened window and moved the curtain aside. Taemin felt sleepy and eventually he fell asleep and his tears dropped onto Minho's hand. In his sleep, Taemin's head titled causing his lips met with Minho's palm.
The princess was awaken after a long time because of The Prince's kiss.
But somehow, the legend isn't forever true.
" Mommy, where are Yoogeun, Aunt Kibum and Uncle Jinki?" A young girl crawled to her mother's lap, asking a question.
" They just went home, dear. Aunt Kibum needs to prepare the dinner."
" Uncle Jonghyun?"
" We know it together well, darling, that Uncle Jonghyun is hard to be spotted where."
" I see." The young girl pouted her cheeks, " Mommy, Yoogeun is meanie to me. He doesn't want to share his toys and keeps making fun on me. I hate him."
The mother smiled and rubbed the daughter's head. " Don't worry. That means he likes you."
" Ehh? He likes me?"
" Exactly."
The girl puffed. " But i want to be with nice guy."
" Someday you will find the right one,"
" Just like Daddy and Mommy?"
The mother laughed. " Yes."
The daughter blinked. " Did daddy often make fun on you too, Mommy?"
" Your daddy.." The mother thought for a moment, " He did something a bit different from Yoogeun - each boy shows different attention to girl they like, darling. Yoogeun as well."
" So what did daddy do?"
The mother chuckled. " Well.. He protects me from bad guys."
The girl looked amazed. " How romantic!"
" What romantic? He almost made me worried to death, make sure your future boyfriend will not do the same as your daddy."
The young girl didn't understand what her mother said so she about to ask another question when someone shouted, " I'm home!"
The young girl's eyes sparkled. " Daddy is home!" she screamed happily and rushed to his father's koala hug. The father catched his daughter and lifted her high, hugging tightly. " My baby! How's your day?"
" Good! and mommy just told me not to have a future boyfriend who always makes me worried just like Daddy did to mommy!" the young girl answered smoothly. The father frowned and looked at his wife whom only grinned.
" I just told her the truth."
The father chuckled. " Fine. I get it. You are right. But you love me, don't you, Taeminnie?"
Taemin simply shrugged and joked, " What do you think, Minho?"
The sun shined brightly through the pane, making Taemin's eyes fluttered. Taemin opened his eyes and closed again for seconds until he adapted to the ray. Taemin yawned and rised up. " Ugh.. I'm sleepy.."
" Taeminnie."
Taemin was stunned and looked toward the voice owner.
His eyes widened.
The owner was a long-haired boy who had been being unconcious until an hour ago now was sitting straightenedly, smiled lovingly.
" Hi there."
He's already awaken.
'A Legend doesn't need to be forever true.'
'Because this time, it was the Prince who opened his eyes again because of the Princess.'
Taemin didn't take much time until he found himself crashed to Minho's chest and let his tears falling down hard. They embraced each other tightly.
" Oh God, Minho, Minho.." Taemin whispered, " I miss you.."
" I know," Minho replied softly, " I miss you too."
A lonely feeling that haunted Taemin all the time was weirdly gone.
Minho was awake now.
" I thought," Taemin choked in cry, " I thought you were gonna leave me.."
Minho cupped Taemin's face, " Silly. I've told you i won't. You just needed to believe and wait for me patiently."
Taemin tightened his embrace. " Mother didn't hate me. She loves me. That's why she leaves me. And i thought you would .."
" Ssh," Minho cut Taemin's words, " I've promised that i won't leave you, right? Just keep my words, Taeminnie."
Taemin inhaled the sweet scent which Taemin never got enough. Minho pushed Taemin tenderly and they stared each other in undescribeable feeling. Minho stroked Taemin's cheeks carefully, like Taemin was the most fragile creature in the world. Minho admired the gorgeous and soft skin of Taemin, thanking God he was given another chance to meet him again. Minho opened his mouth, and said,
" I love you."
and by that, slowly Minho pulled Taemin's face. His lips placed on Taemin's, giving a longing kiss. Minho sucked Taemin's lower lip gently. They parted the kiss and rubbed their noses together while the younger boy replied almost mutedly, " I love you."
Minho smiled.
" and I love your voice too, just saying."
Hearing Taemin's answer just made Minho snorted. " Does that mean you don't love me?"
" Well, look at here, someone is being a baby," Taemin sticked out his tongue. Minho brought down his daughter and folded his arms. " Alright, fine. I just love your voice, not whole of you."
" You haven't changed, still as cheesy as eight years ago. And loving my voice means you really love me."
Minho eventually gave up arguing with his wife. " Ever since you speak again, I never win over you. Fine, yes, i do love you - everything about you. Pleased?"
Taemin merely grinned. " Yes. Totally."
Minho pouted. " So you love me or not?"
" Oh God, where's your manly side," Taemin rolled his eyes. Minho sniffled as a sign that he was being impatient. Taemin laughed. " Alright, big baby, i love you too."
Minho smiled widely. " Good. Now come here, love," He spreaded his muscular arms. Taemin moved his heel toward Minho's chest and the older hugged him lovingly. Taemin lifted his chin as Minho kissed Taemin's lips, didn't really care the blush on their daughter's cheeks.
i know i have found my place.
A place for me to stay.
Minho pulled away from their kiss and shifted his head next to Taemin's ear.
" I'm home."
Taemin smiled and tiptoed, his lips reached for Minho's cheek.
I have found my love,
and it wasn't about blood anymore.
My only love, the reason for me to keep alive.
" Welcome back, my dear."
My family.

A place for me to stay.
Minho pulled away from their kiss and shifted his head next to Taemin's ear.
" I'm home."
Taemin smiled and tiptoed, his lips reached for Minho's cheek.
I have found my love,
and it wasn't about blood anymore.
My only love, the reason for me to keep alive.
" Welcome back, my dear."
My family.
