CHAPTER 7
A week had passed the couple then visited him in his workplace.
Though surprised, he managed to ask Eunhyuk’s Uncle to let him have a short break.
At the back of the store, Mr. Kwon then handed him a piece of paper.
He looked at the older man confusedly but he just told him to read.
As though shocked from what it says, he then returned the paper to the couple.
As he was about to walk away, Mrs. Kwon managed to grab hold of his arms.
“Please…” she mumbled before crying again.
Without looking, he gently took off her hold on him as he whispered “I’m sorry.”
After that, a loud cry could be heard, but Kim Junsu doesn’t have the heart to look back and comfort the crying woman in his arms.
He thought that after that incident, he would never see the couple again.
But no, they seem to be so eager in seeing him.
Always dropping by, giving him food and other things.
Offering him a better paying job.
They are so nice to him that sometimes he find it hard to say no to them.
Another week had passed, but the unusual thing is that Mr. and Mrs. Kwon are nowhere to be seen.
He began worrying about them.
Until one night, continuous knocks could be heard in the middle of the night.
Eunhyuk then woke him harshly.
He told him to meet Mr. Kwon at the door.
Though sleepy, he hurriedly went and saw the old man kneeling.
“Please, please be our son Junsu-ah. Please!” Mr. Kwon muttered.
He then ran to the kneeling man and insisted for the other to stand up.
But the old man did not get up and so Junsu kneeled also in front of him.
“Ajushii, if I kneel too, would you stop asking me to be your son?”
“Why? Why don’t you want to be ours? We could give you a good life!”
“I already have foster parents back at home.”
“…”
“Please stop this ajushii.”
“No, for my wife I’ll beg to you till you agree to sign the adoption papers.”
“I don’t want to hurt you ajushii. You’ve been nothing but nice to me.”
“But you’ll only keep hurting us by refusing our offer.”
Junsu fell silent.
And that’s when Mr. Kwon looked onto Junsu’s face.
Taken aback by seeing a tear strained face, he fell silent.
“I’m sick.”
Junsu then raised his right hand on top of his chest.
“And I’m dying…”
