{ Chapter Seven }
{ Kyu Hyun's POV }
I sneaked out silently from the window after making sure everyone was asleep. Then, I gently walk on the roof, slowly reaching the trunk of the persimmon tree. Slowly… Slowly…
“Whoop!”
I slipped a little and quickly grabs on the tree trunk, making the leaves sways with each other; producing sounds. I furiously hunker down as the lights in Noona’s room light up. Aish! I forgot that Ahra Noona’s room was just beside mine. Oh God. I stay silent for a while, I squint my eyes very tightly and holding onto the tree trunk. After waiting for quite long minutes, I opened my eyes and urgently swing my head to look over at Noona’s room. Okay, lights off. I get up once again and reached toward the trunk, carefully sliding down.
The persimmon tree sways- making sounds again. I sweat cold, and decided to stay in between the trunks, lurking out to see Noona’s room. Damn it, the lights are on again! I stayed, still lurking into her room. Then I saw Noona’s shadow figure heading toward the window, I quickly hides- curling myself. I literally knock my head, why did I pick out cream trench coat.
After a while, I heard the window creak open, then a few ruffles and the window closes again. I let out relieve sight. But then the tree starts shaking. I quickly close my eyes, as tight as I could while clinging onto the tree trunk like my life depends on it. Then after a moment of shaking, I heard a thud just right in front of me. Because of the shock I opened my eyes and being all ninja.
“Oh! Kyu Hyun-ah!”
“Ahra Noona!”
We quickly covered our mouth, afraid that someone might hear us.
And we ended up sitting on a bench at Han River with hot coffee in our hands. None of us makes move to talk other than blowing into the cup to cool down the coffee so that it is safe to drink. As Noona was slurping her coffee delightfully, I stared at her, still holding the cup to heat up my hands. I could barely see her face because the street lamps are a little bit too far away from the bench, but I still could tell that she is one beautiful girl. She’s always the prettiest girl in my life, even- well, before mom. Mom would be pretty if, she still has those shining sparks on her face. But she doesn’t anymore.
“Oi, sneaking out, huh?”
Noona knock my nose with her index finger, giggling, bringing me back to real world. I blinked and continue sipping the coffee that is no longer hot.
“Oi, sneaking out, huh!”
I imitates her back with lower tone, making my voice sound totally retarded. She jokingly punches my shoulder and we laughed together. Comfortable silent filled in, smiles still pasted on face. I miss this kind of moments, joking around with Ahra Noona. I looked up at her, tossing away the plastic cup, a smile plastered on my face, despite the happy tears that followed. She wipes my tears away with her thumb, and then cupped my cheeks.
“Look what you’ve became, a cry baby.”
She said in a kidding tone as she giggles along with me. I tossed her hand, pretending to be annoyed, but then I burst out; laughing. Noona then grabbed her guitar casing, opens the zipper and hold onto her black classic guitar. And she starts plucking notes.
Those notes, I remembered every curves of the melody, something that was, long forgotten. I closed my eyes, trying to reverse and remember something, but it was missing. I bit my lower lip and clenched my fist. This can’t be happening, this song, this melody, and those memories. I, I just lose part of myself. The most important memory, I’ve lost it. I clenched onto my chest, grabbing the coat cloth tightly, as if to rip it apart.
I remember the image of you who waited for me again today
From time to time
When things get though
I always think of you
Thank you
Noona’s gentle voice greet my ear; those lyrics. Without I realize, the lyrics are moving on their own now.
When I’m happy
We all laugh together
And loving hearts are always abounding
Now, having just received your heart
I’ll give everything back to you
At the sound of my voice, Ahra Noona looked at me with teary eyes and nicely curved smile.
A little bit closer, love
I’ll always protect you
So we’re like how we are now
When you’re feeling exhausted and hurt and pained
All you have to do is lean on me
Always, happy together
The sound of guitar picking has stopped. Noona tossed her guitar away, leans it on the side on the bench. She then abruptly hugs me as tightly as if I’m drowning into a deep black hole. I replied her, snaking my arms along her hip.
“Noona, you miss me don’t you?”
She punch my back repeatedly, despite the slight pain I just held her closer. She continues to spill her tears as she said ‘babo’ like a mantra.
It’s just a little bit different
Even if those there are cold glares or someone says something
I just hope that you won’t change
Thank you
For crying all together when I’m feeling down
For always staying together and protecting each other
Now, having just received your heart
I’ll give everything back to you
I hummed the rest of the song, still holding her firmly. She had stopped punching my back, but I still could hear her sobs and the word ‘babo’.
Even when the tears that are hidden from the world flow
Because the dazzling you is with me
I can gain strength and laugh again…
Always happy together
“Yeongweonhi happy together.”
The last word she said before she kissed my forehead.
I miss you too, Ahra Noona.
