Love Is Blind, But I'm Not (chap. 11)
“I was invited by your lecturer to give reviews on the student’s final project models.” Sungmin told as he drank the coffee in his hands. Kyuhyun and Donghae smiled, and thought that they should try being nice to this beautiful man in front of them, and a good score will be in their hands.
“I know what you guys thinking, so forget about it. I’m not an easy to persuade man.” A strict smile ran across his face, and that made both the final year students sighed.
Kyuhyun’s mind just couldn’t stop but thinking that the 'Lee Seunggi' in front of him must have been an amazing student, that even after he graduate, the lecturer still remember him. And he just want to be as great as this man, so that no one’s gonna question what he should or shouldn’t do with his life anymore.
And he just hope that sharing the same name, the cute little Seunggi will be as successful as this man one day.
Speaking of Seunggi, it has been a month since the last time he went to Ri In’s house with Donghae. Seunggi had just begin his school, and he got a lot of things that he wanted to tell both the guests, that they couldn’t help it but be entertained by that little kid.
Lee Ri In treated him just like a brother. She fed him, she listened to his problems, advice him, and sometimes she even got angry if Kyuhyun refused to do as she told him to.
“She and Hyori noona are about the same age, and the same style.”
And another weird fact is, they still didn’t get to see Ri In’s brother-in-law’s face even once, since he didn’t have a fixed time to go there.
“He’s busy. His company is doing great right now, and he just couldn’t let it go. Aish~my little brother is such a hardworking man, unlike my late husband. I wondered if they are really siblings before, but then, I saw the same thing that they share; their angelic smiles.” And Ri In was patting her own face, blushing only by thinking about her late husband’s smile.
What a beautiful love they had, Kyuhyun wondered. It must have been a love straight from the heart, that they still can smile about one another despite that they have been separated world apart.
“Kyuhyun-shii? Kyuhyun-shii? Where are you right now?” Sungmin’s sweet voice suddenly grabbed him from the daydream about a sad love story. A sad love story? Will his love story become a sad one too?
***
“Just arrived from the moon, sir.” Laughed. A laugh that pierced his heart, since four years ago. Sungmin smiled.
He knew about Kyuhyun left the house from Siwon, a week after their accidental meeting. Sungmin was worried about it, thinking that Kyuhyun will be in somewhere else, far from him just when he was about to start his chase to Kyuhyun’s love once again. And God knows how he felt when Siwon quickly told him that Kyuhyun will be living with Donghae and pursuing their higher studies together.
With Siwon’s information, he felt as if he was watching Kyuhyun from far. At least he knew what Kyuhyun was up to, and where he wanted to be.
“Why don’t you just tell him about who are you? Hyori stopped begging you to forget Kyuhyun, Hyomin...God knows where the hell is she right now, and I...”
“And what about you? What makes you wanna help me?” Siwon bit his lower lip as Sungmin suddenly asked the question he has been waiting to asked.
“Because I don’t want to see him crying anymore. It hurts, when I saw him like that. Kyuhyun...he has been keeping everything to himself all these while. He didn’t want to burden any of us, but he didn’t realised, that I can see him thoroughly. He had these heavy wrinkles when he tried to hide something unpleasant. But...” Sungmin waited patiently for Siwon’s finishing words.
“...only when he speaks about you, his face turned bright. I’m jealous that you got all his happy face, Sungmin.” And he ruffled Sungmin’s hair. This sweet-dimpled man sure is a loving brother. And it would be such an honor if he had this brother as his in-law. Oh God, I’m blushing with my own thought.
“So, after this you guys will face the final year exam, right?” Sungmin asked Donghae, didn’t want the latter to smell the gazes he gave Kyuhyun in silence.
“Yeah, but after we finish our practical in companies for three months.”
“Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Have you guys considered the company you guys wanna be with for it?” Donghae pursed his lips, and lifted an eyebrow. The practical thingie will start in just a week time, and they were supposed to find any potential company to work with.
“We still didn’t manage to find any company yet, but I think we need to start it tonight, right, Donghae-shii?” and Kyuhyun put some pressure in his tone when he mentioned Donghae’s name. Donghae immediately knew why.
Kyuhyun has been telling him to search for the company by himself, but he kept saying that he wanna be in the company where Kyuhyun is in. And that’s mean, he wanted Kyuhyun to find it for him. But Kyuhyun was too busy with his project, just as Donghae was, that finally, they both still didn’t get what they planned.
“I guess, a fish brain is not so good, even when it is delicious to be eat.” A smirk was drawn, and Donghae stood up, pushing his forehead onto Kyuhyun’s, put his stare to the limit. And so did Kyuhyun. They were silently fighting against each other. Just like little kids.
Sungmin was a bit jealous about that, but he couldn’t do anything at that time. But one thing for sure, his laughter sure was enough to erase the little jealousy in his mind.
“Guys, would you like to have your practical in my small company? I would love to help my juniors for chasing their futures.”
And keep you by my side, Kyu-shii.
***
Donghae didn’t expect this to happen. He thought that Sungmin was going to reveal himself just now, when he sent them to the class, and waited for them later. He thought that Kyuhyun’s waiting has ended. But Sungmin still didn’t do as he expected.
Sungmin smiled as he saw Donghae’s stare when he said that his name was Lee Seunggi. He was hesitant at first, just in case this man in front of him was one of the seven people in this world who had the same face as Sungmin. But when he smiled, Donghae was sure that it was him. Definitely. No doubt.
“Why’d you things like this, Sungmin hyung? Don’t you think about Kyu’s suffering all this time?” Donghae first shot caught Sungmin’s attention. He knew about the away-from-Kyuhyun thingie that Kyuhyun’s sisters made, and he just thought that it was ridiculous. But now, as he knew that Hyori was so sorry for her act before, and Hyomin who was...wait, where is Hyomin right now, by the way?
“I can’t. Or else, Kyuhyun’s life will be in danger.” Donghae gasped. What the hell this man is talking about?
The restaurant where they were hanging out with Kyuhyun a few moments ago, now filled with high school students. Kyuhyun just received a call from someone, and told them that he has something to do, so he left.
“I know, that this maybe sounds ridiculous, but right now...Hyomin-shii...” and as Sungmin finished his story, Donghae cupped his own mouth, that was shaping an ‘O’, and breathe heavily.
***
Kyuhyun exhaled, tiredly. The phone call at the restaurant just now was from Hyomin. “Where are you right now? Do you really don’t want to come home anymore? Do you know how lonely I am, staying only with Siwon after Hyori unni got married and left?” her voice sounded shaking. Kyuhyun felt a little bit guilty about that, but he just couldn’t melt with Hyomin’s persuasion. He must stay strong.
“I’m studying, so staying outside would be easier. Besides, why do you think I’m moving out in the first place?” No reply. Only heavy breathing was heard from the other side of the line. And sobs, too.
“Kyuhyun-ah, do you...do you hate me that much? Just because I don’t want you to be with Sungmin? You love him more than you love your sister?” Kyuhyun was dumbfounded. What should he answer?
“Of course I...” be harsh, Kyuhyun, be harsh! She needs to know how did you feel when she chased Sungmin out of your life!
“...love him more than I love you. And noona, do you really love me? because I never thought that a sister would do what you guys have done to me.” Click. He hung up, as he felt his chest tightened. Oh God, am I saying the right thing to her?
She should know how I felt, shouldn’t she? I’m the one who’s suffered a lot here, right?
***
“What do you mean, Hyomin noona threatening you? She’s Kyuhyun’s sister!” Sungmin sighed. Well, it’s not like he didn’t expect that kind of reaction from someone. And for someone who has knew Hyomin and Kyuhyun’s family for so long, this was the right reaction he was imagining about.
“I would love to think it as a nightmare only when she turned up at my home, one night, suddenly. But the words wasn’t a fake. And her stares too. But I guess, nightmares could be much better than that.” Sungmin put up a fake smile.
“Aigoo~can you please stop smiling so fakely like that?? This is not a small matter! If what you said is true, not only Kyuhyun, but you too, would be in danger.” Geez, this guy’s good in reading people! Can’t even lie in front of him!
“When did she started to stalk you?”
“Three years ago, a few weeks after I refused to be her fake boyfriend.” Donghae shaped the ‘O’ with his mouth again. Now he could understand why Sungmin didn’t came out to see Kyuhyun. He was protecting him.
“And you’ve been stalking him since then? Geez, you sure are weird, man.”
“Watching from a distance, would be a better way to say it, Donghae-shii.”
Donghae suddenly felt as if he understand the feeling when we only watched our beloved from a distance. He was in the same boat after all. Only in his case, his beloved person, sometimes barely noticed about his presence. But he’s satisfied.
***
Donghae kept silent about the shocking news, just as Sungmin requested. “I don’t think she’s in her right mind. But I don’t think that she’s dangerous, too. If something happens to me, I hope you know what you need to do.”
“What do you mean, if something happens to you? Stop saying things like that.” He mumbled, but loud enough for Kyuhyun, who had just finished his bath could hear him.
“You know, if you gonna speak to yourself, you should low down your voice.” Donghae pouted. “I can talk with any way that I want. This is my room, damn it. And why are you bathing here? What’s wrong with your shower?”
“Broke. Hot water won’t come out.” Kyuhyun opened Donghae fridge, bluntly, and reached for a can of juice, and gulped it down at once. His adam’s apple moved up and down, following the movement of the juice. His left hand was on his hip, and his right leg bent a bit. Unconciously, he showed his sexy side to his friend.
Donghae smirked. Kyuhyun was lucky. If only Kyuhyun wasn’t his bestiest, and he wasn’t in love with Kyuhyun’s brother, he would have make his first step to this opportunity. In fact, there have been thousand of times that he would have the chance like that, but like what he said before, Kyuhyun was lucky.
“Hey, I’m going to Han riverside. Will be back about 2 hours.” Donghae didn’t even realised when Kyuhyun finished wearing his clothes. He nodded, understood.
***
“This riverside, this park, isn’t so big. But why I still can’t find the tree you told me to?” Kyuhyun asked himself, started to pissed off.
“I must’ve missed it. I must’ve passed the tree.” He closed his eyes, standing right in the middle of the path.
The breeze felt stinging to his bones. Even his glasses frame froze. Kyuhyun put it away, and walked slowly, following the direction of the winds. His blurry vision looked so beautiful, as all the neons were mixed together.
Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind. He smiled, and shut his eyes. “I came here when I was blind, I should search for it now as a blind man.”
And the tall, slim body were swaying, walking along the path. And suddenly, this path felt familiar.
***
Sungmin sighed, as he put his bum onto the park bench, where he and Kyuhyun used to date. He came here, every once in a while, with a hope that Kyuhyun will be there, waiting for him, smiling. But it seems to be dangerous for that to become a reality, with him not knowing where Hyomin is.
“I never knew that to be in love with someone is to let them go. All I know is, you must make sure your loved one will be by your side, forever. And that is what I’m going to do. No one will take you away from me, even my own little brother.” That was Hyomin last message, when she came to his house, two days ago. The same day when he accidentally met Kyuhyun.
Accidentally? Nah~ it should be purposely. Sungmin knew that Kyuhyun was studying there, in his old university. He came there, true, it was for helping the lecturer, but silently, he hoped for a miracle to happen again, and it did.
“I could die of happiness, you know?”
***
He felt the bark of the tree with his bare hands. It felt weird. Kyuhyun opened his eyes. Something was carved on the tree. Their tree.
“1.4.3.7 - S & K ^^”
“1437? Is it a code?” a code.
Kyuhyun pulled out his cellphone, opened the locked file that had always been there for four years, and put in the numbers as its password. And after a few minutes, an image appeared.
A cute, smiling man was hugging a happy-looking but blind man in a ward. And they both wearing the patient’s uniforms.
A warm drop felt on his hand. His eyes were brimmed with tears.
And as he turned, he saw someone, sitting on the bench that he knew where they used to date, the one that he believed he had passed hundreds of times when he came here; humming to a song that sound so familiar to his ears.
***
Sungmin was humming his favorite song, Fly Me To The Moon while sitting on the bench. The song that also became Kyuhyun’s favorite after that. His eyes were closed, when he felt a sudden heat next to him. And a warm hand was cupping his face.
“I’ve found you, Sungmin-shii.”
And as he opened his eyes, a kiss, the kiss that he longed for in these four years, felt on his cold lips.
***
“You fool! You really love to make me suffer, don’t you, Sungmin-shii?” Kyuhyun uttered, as he hugged Sungmin dearly in his arms. Hiccups were heard, and Sungmin couldn’t help but smile.
“It has been a while since you call me that, Kyu-shii. I’ve been missing it in a long time.” Kyuhyun raised his head, and kissed his lips, one more time. A smile was carved on it.
“What’s 1437 by the way?” Sungmin smiled, and giggled. And Kyuhyun felt as if he’s going to die that night, as his wish all this time to watch Sungmin’s face while he was giggling became a reality.
“I-L.O.V.E-Y.O.U-F.O.R.E.V.E.R” He said, as he showed Kyuhyun the number counts with his fingers, one by one. “I love you for eternity, then.”
And once again, a kiss, a longer kiss than before, heated their lips, and arms were wrapping each other.
***
And as she watched the lovers get back together, Hyomin clenched her fist, until white knuckles were seen.
“This can’t be happening...this can’t be happening...THIS CAN’T BE HAPPENING!!!!!!”
And there she was, running out of the bush in front of where Kyuhyun and Sungmin were sitting, screaming, holding a long, sharp, shining knife in her hand.
