Seunghyun took a deep breath and smiled at the smell of Seoul’s air. He was home. After 5 long fucking years away, he was finally home again. He lift his suitcase and continued to walk to the arrival door.
“Uncle Seunghyun!!!” Seunghyun heard a small voice calling him, and he walked faster when he saw those figures waving at him.
“Yoodae-ah!!!!!” Seunghyun finally arrived in front of them, dropping his bag so he can lift the little boy and spin him. The little boy giggled and screamed happily, hugging the tall man’s neck tightly. “I missed you. Have you been a good boy?” Seunghyun asked him as he stabled the boy on his hips. Yoodae nodded and told him that he even tied his shoes by himself today. Seunghyun told him how a good boy he was while walking towards the beautiful lady in a black dress and short hair, waiting for him to greet her.
“I thought I was invisible here,” Seunghyun laughed and kissed Hyeyoon’s cheek and hugged her. “I missed you. I’m glad you decided to move back here.”
“Yeah,” Seunghyun smiled as he burried his face in Hyeyoon’s neck. The 3 and a half year old boy didn’t want to be left out, he joined them by hugging both his mother and uncle’s neck. “I can’t stand living so far away from you guys.”
“From Jiyong?” Hyeyoon teased him, and Seunghyun pulled back from the hug when he heard this.
“Noona, it’s not funny,” he said. He tried to find another topic, and he was surprised he didn’t realised his sister’s hair. “You cut your hair,” Seunghyun runs his fingers through her sister’s hair. They haven’t met for almost a year, since the last time both of them meet when Hyeyoon visited him at the states. She still had her long black hair back then, and suddenly she had this hair. Short and brown. She never liked short hair before because she always thought it made her look like a boy.
“Yeah, and I dyed them,” Hyeyoon brought her hands to her hair. “Your brother in law forced me to do it. He said I look more beatiful like this, but th-“
“You do!” a man walked from behind Hyeyoon and joined the conversation. He approved what Hyeyoon was saying, making the three of them shifted their gaze to him. Kwon Jiyong, beautiful as ever, so beautiful it made Seunghyun’s heart clenches, never failed to take Seunghyun’s breath away. He had an afro hair now, and Seunghyun almost laughed at it It looked like a bunch of dry grass, but nevertheless suited him. “She look stunning, don’t you think, Seunghyunssi?” Jiyong circled his arm around Hyeyoon, which made Seunghyun squinted his eyes seeing this.
Hyeyoon laughed at Seunghyun’s stare and pushed Jiyong’s arm away from herself. The man pouted and this only made Hyeyoon laugh harder. “No public display of affection, baby. Especially in front of this baby.”
“This baby?” Jiyong pointed at Yoodae, tickling the boy’s waist and made him squirmed in Seunghyun’s hold. “Or this baby?”
“Hey!!” Seunghyun protested when Jiyong jabbed his chest. “I’m not a baby!”
“Oh, really?” Hyeyoon teased her brother.
Yoodae laughed hard seeing his mother and uncle arguing like this. Eventually he wriggled in Seunghyun’s hold and reached her hand to Hyeyoon, who understands and took him from Seunghyun. “Next time, baby, I got a kiss from Uncle Seunghyun first. He always kissed Umma first, you know.”
Seunghyun laughed at how childish her sister was. She didn’t even want her son to defeat her in winning Seunghyun’s kiss.
“Umma!” Yoodae was upset at her mother’s scolding, and she hugged her neck. “You already got kiss kiss from uncle Seunghyun from you’re small. I only have his kiss kiss for 4 year. Not fair.”
Seunghyun shook his head, realising how he missed his sister bitchiness even to her own son. He smiled seeing the mother and child fight while the two walked away to the exit door. He then turned around to found Jiyong standing with his arms folded in front of his chest and an eyebrow raised. “Nice to meet you again, Dragon.”
Flashback
“This wouldn’t ever work, would it?” Hyeyoon asked Jiyong in a cracking voice. The both of them now sitting on Seunghyun’s bed, not forgetting to lock the door to avoid the confused stare everybody was giving them.
“What wouldn’t work?”
“Us? The wedding? You won’t marry me, right?”
“I will.”
“Jiyong..” Hyeyoon touched Jiyong’s arm, and the younger man finally looked up from his lap and stared straight into her eyes. The young women’s heart hurts a lot when he saw Jiyong’s tears. It was the same feeling when he saw her baby brother cried. Why did she feel like she was the one causing pain for everybody?
“I’m not.. going to disappoint our parents, Noona. I’m not.. I don’t want you sad.”
Hyeyoon smiled at his words. This guy was such an angel, she knew why Seunghyun love him. She felt the same, but this marriage, she knew it wouldn’t work out. She knew she’s just going to hurt Jiyong and Seunghyun, and also herself if they still do this. “Jiyong-ah, listen,” she turned her body to face Jiyong. “Don’t flatter yourself, okay?”
Jiyong furrowed his brows, not understanding what she just said.
“As much as I love you, Jiyong-ah.. I love my baby brother more. He was.. my knight in shinning armour,” when Jiyong stiffled a laugh (then apologized) at this, Hyeyoon shake her head and laugh. “I know it sounds silly, but it’s true.”
“I thought.. you were his angel? His guardian angel?”
“I did protect him from those bullies, I did payed rent at first, I did defend him when he came out.. gay.. to our parents, I.. I bet that’s the thing he told you, right?”
Jiyong nodded. That was exactly what Seunghyun told him.
“That was.. from our childhood Jiyong. As the both of us grew up.. he was.. he was like paying back everything I did for him, even though it’s not much. Do you know how fast he lost his 40 pounds back then?” Jiyong shook his head. “40 days.”
“40 days??” it was impossible!
“I know, right? And he did it, just because he didn’t want me to be embarassed having a brother like him. I love him the way he is, Jiyong-ah, but society is very cruel. They kept insulting him, even in front of me. I cried a lot because as a grown up, I couldn’t hit anybody who insult my baby brother like that again. So he lost his weight. So I wouldn't cry.
When he came out to our parents about his sexuality, I did defend him. But he was that strong to stand strong to his choises, and eventually our parents melted. They accepted him for who he is now. I didn't fight for him, he fight for himself. And the apartement? I paid half a rent, because our Dad helped us at first. It wasn’t even our first year here, and Seunghyun suddenly showed me this receipt paper.”
“He paid the apartement rent?”
“He was the one who bought it Jiyong-ah, for me. For us,” Jiyong’s eyes widened. “You see, he wasn’t a.. selfish bastard like you said,” Hyeyoon laughed when Jiyong lowerd his head and blushed. “There’s so much he did for me and our parents that I can’t finish the list in one day. He maybe was a.. stubborn and rebellious boy once, but.. he changed. He was the most selfless person I’ve ever known, Jiyong-ah.
“And now..” Hyeyoon chocked a sob. “And now, again, he sacrified himself for me. Apartement rent, cars, money, time, anything, Jiyong, I’m sure I can pay him back for all of that. But his heart..”
Jiyong didn’t answer. They both was surrounded by silence for a while.
“So Jiyongssi..” Jiyong looked at Hyeyoon, who reached out an arm to grab Jiyong’s hand and held it. Hyeyoon wiped her tears with her free hand and straightened her back. “Like I said, as much as I do like you, and so much wanted to be with you for the rest of my life-“
“Hyeyoon Noona..”
“-but I love Seunghyun more. And I want you to go after him, make sure that spoiled brat come home because a wedding is waiting for him and it’s really rude if the groom reject his bride who already came after him.”
Jiyong blinked at what Hyeyoon said. “Noo.. Noona..”
“Aish, what the hell, Jiyong!” Hyeyoon stood up, pulling Jiyong with him. How can this guy be so slow?? She dragged him to the door and opened it, a little surprised so many people was there trying to eavesdrop their conversation. Hyeyoon pushed the man out of the door. “Just go! Go after him!!!”
Jiyong was already running towards the door and he turned his head to Hyeyoon, “Thank you so much, Noona!!”
“Never mind Ji-“
“And I’m not a bride!! I have a dick!!!” what Jiyong said made a lot of the elder guests gasps at the word, while Hyeyoon just chuckled. When Jiyong was out of the sight, she finally broke down. She fell on her knees, crying her eyes out with her parents hugging her and trying to calm her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Seunghyun was already at the terminal gate where his flight will board in a couple of minutes. He was reading the lyrics Jiyong wrote and sent to him again. He didn’t want to cry in a public place like this, so he wore his scarf to cover his mouth and his sunglasses (despite the strange look from people around, it was summer!), pretending to cough every once in a while. He wasn’t ready to let go of Jiyong. He wasn’t ready to face a life with Jiyong as his sister’s husband, but can he change the circumstances? No, he realized he had to face this, and move on. Well at least try to move on.
“We could be in love,” he read those words again. Somehow it’s so painful to feel the word slip through his mouth now. “We could be, Ji. To bad it wasn’t.. we could live together or.. damn why don’t you give this a title like we could be together forever or someth-“
“I need to see someone on this flight!”
The familiar voice pulled Seunghyun out of his thoughts. He looked up to see the slim body in only a skinny jeans and a tank top in front of the information desk. His voice was loud enough to make people turned their head to look at him.
“Jiyong?”
The younger boy’s hair was dishelved even though he wore a band to hold the so they would not be messy, and his face was so swollen because of too much crying.
“Choi Seunghyun!” Seunghyun heard him answered when the lady in front of him asked what was the name Jiyong was looking for. “The name is Choi Seunghyun. Please please tell me his plane hasn’t took off yet, Ma’am, please..” Jiyong cried his question to the staff.
“What the hell is he doing? Isn’t he embarassed?” Seunghyun looked at the clock and was surprised. “Isn’t he supposed to take vows or something with my sister by now?” he stood up, approaching the two people.
“I really need to see him, Ma’am, please. Don’t make me pay that expensive cab for nothing, Ma’am. It’s our wedding day,” Seunghyun was dead on his track when he heard this. Their wedding? As in Seunghyun’s and Jiyong’s wedding? What is this guy talking about? He shook his head and continued walking to where Jiyong was crying while the air-crew tried to calm him down. Seunghyun gently took the smaller man’s arm, who turned around immidiately with large eyes looking at him.
“What-Seunghyun!” Jiyong said when Seunghyun pulled down his scarf so the other could see his face.
“What the hell are you doing here, Jiyong?” he asked with a growl. Why is it so hard to leave Jiyong? “You were supposed to be at my parent’s house right now and having a very amazing wedding party with my sister, as your new wife!! Why are you here instead?”
“I love you, Seunghyun,” Jiyong didn’t answer Seunghyun. This surprised Seunghyun. Jiyong looked at Seunghyun’s arm which is still holding his, and figured the little paper he held there. “The lyrics.. Seunghyun.. I love you. My heart has it’s own mind, and it really would go far and wide-“
“-just to be near you,” they completed the lyrics together.
“We could be in love, Seunghyun,” Seunghyun was surprised when he felt soft lips met his own chapped one. The kiss was so soft and gentle, and Seunghyun never felt this light before he thought he was flying. They pulled out fast, still shocked. Jiyong at why he did it, and Seunghyun at why Jiyong did it. But not for long, because Seunghyun then pulled Jiyong to another kiss, this time more aggressive, biting the younger’s bottom lips and when he moaned, Seunghyun slipped his tounge inside Jiyong’s mouth. Touching. Licking. Tasting. Exploring. It was amazing, the smaller man tastes so sweet and addicting. They parted again for air, panting, and Seunghyun leaned his forehead against Jiyong’s, trying to calm down.
“What did you do to my sister, you bastard?” Seunghyun looked into Jiyong’s brown eyes, one of his hand holding tight at Jiyong’s waist, while the other was on top of Jiyong’s head, stroking it with affection.
Jiyong let go his hand from Seunghyun’s back, raising it to wipe a tear that fell from Seunghyun’s eye to his cheek. “I love you, Choi Seunghyun. Please ask me to marry you.”
Seunghyun moved his hands from Jiyong’s head, took the hand that was cupping his cheek, locking their fingers toghether and chuckled. “Why don’t you just ask me?”
“Because,” Jiyong gave the man before him, the one he really loved with all his heart, a chaste kiss on the lips before answering, “Because your sister said this bastard was your bride.”
Seunghyun laughed and decided to make the move. He could see Jiyong’s eyes widened when he crouched down on his knees, “I don’t have a ring right now Ji..”
“Seunghyun Hyung! Are you crazy?!!!” Jiyong looked around them, people were starting to stop and look at them. Well, actually at Seunghyun who was kneeling. Seunghyun reached for the youngers hand and kissed the back of it. “Hyung..”
“I don’t care. And I hope you don’t care that I don’t have a ring right now, I promise to buy it after we got married-“
“Seunghyun~..”
“-so, will you marry me, Kwon Jiyong?”
Jiyong didn’t answer. Seunghyun was so nervous, but when he saw Jiyong smiled, tears forming in his lover’s beautiful eyes, Seunghyun felt like a thousand fireworks was going to burst out of his chest. “Yes. Yes, yes, yes, yes!!!”
Seunghyun stand back on is foot and pulled Jiyong into a tight embrace. They kissed again. And again. And again, until all the people there either clapped and say how sweet they are, or tell them to get a room. After they pulled away, Seunghyun smiled at Jiyong and pulled him to get the hell out of that place. They got a wedding to catch.
Flashback ends
Jiyong smirked as he approached Seunghyun who extended his arm and entwined their fingers together. Seunghyun pulled Jiyong closer to him as he closed the distance between their face, and kissed the pink lips in front of him. Jiyong smiled and hugged Seunghyun tightly, putting his arms behind Seunghyun’s neck to pull him into another kiss. More passionate this time, as Jiyong traced Seunghyun’s lower lip with his tongue, begging for entrance. Seunghyun easily surrender. He opened his mouth and let Jiyong’s tounge ravish his mouth while he lifted Jiyong in his embrace a little. Their life was so beautiful since the wedding, Jiyong even moved to the States with Seunghyun and trusted his store to Daesung for a while, he controled everything from abroad. But suddenly one day Seunghyun told Jiyong he asked his father to spare him a place in their branch in Seoul and his father granted his wish. Which means they will move back to Seoul. Ji was beyond happy. He came back to Seoul a week before Seunghyun, to prepare their new home and everything. He was happy that he would be able to work in his own botique again and also live close to his and Seunghyun’s family again. He and Hyeyoon had became so close, she was like a substitute for Dami who lived so far from him now. She was like his own sister.
The couple pulled away after awhile, Seunghyun rested his head in Jiyong’s, closing his eyes before opening it again just to drown in those brown orbs belong to his lover. No, wife. “I missed you, Dragon,” he said, leaving one last peck to his lover’s lip.
“I missed you too, Pimp.”
“I love you, Choi Jiyong,” Seunghyun said again, and laugh when Jiyong pulled away from him and walked away with a pout. “Yah!! You!!”
“You are embarassing, Seunghyun-ah!! I never agreed to use Choi as my first name!”
Seunghyun laughed and ran up to his wife, who was determined to walk far away from Seunghyun and tell his sister in law what Seunghyun just said. Seunghyun catch up before Jiyong got to Hyeyoon and Yoodae, already standing beside Hyunjoong, who was now a part of the family since he married Hyeyoon 4 years ago. Seunghyun grabbed Jiyong’s arm, who gave him a pout and earned a peck from the taller man, which made him blush. Eventually Jiyong squezeed Seunghyun’s arm in his and then both of them walked hand in hand, cherishing each other’s presence, and yeah, they could be in love. In fact, they are already.
