Prompt 002. Christmas, Heechul/Ryeowook (6/100)

Kim Ryeowook just finished his last meal, cooked for Christmas Eve. He looked at the clock, it still 7 PM. Ryeowook put his apron on a hanger and brought a roasted chicken on dining table. He smiled, satisfied with his job. Kimbap, spaghetti carbonara, bulgeogi, mashed potato with gravy, a bow of salad, and roasted chicken as the highlight.

For Christmas Eve, he and his brother will host a dinner with their friends. It was their tradition to have a dinner on Christmas Eve when their parents still alive. Five years earlier, Ryeowook and his brother lost their parents in a car crash. To honor the memories of the parents, Ryeowook and his brother continue the tradition, now with their close friends.

Ryeowook took a phone from his pocket and dialled a number. In no time, the person across the line answered, "Hello."

"Heechul-hyung, I just finished the cooking. Come home quickly!" said Ryeowook. The man he called Heechul only chuckled. "This is not funny, Hyung. It's an order!" Ryeowook said in serious tone.

"Okay, I just packed my things and will be home around half an hour. Our guests arrived yet?"

"Not yet, but Heebum meowing already," said Ryeowook, walked towards couch and saw a cat lay comfortably. He sat beside the cat.

"My cat miss me!"

Ryeowook rolled his eyes, knew how his brother turned dramatic. "If you don't come here, he won't miss you and you won't have foods left," said Ryeowook.

"See you in half an hour, my dongsaeng."

Ryeowook turn off his phone and took a deep breath. He closed his eyes for a while. He cooked since morning and he need a little rest before his guests came. Ten minutes of silence, the bell rang. Ryeowook opened his eyes and walked to the intercom. Ryeowook smiled when he saw familiar faces. He opened the door, and his brother's friends here.

"Jungsu-hyung! Hankyung-hyung! Shindong-hyung! Come in!" said Ryeowook. Soon, the living room was filled with laughter. Another guests came, this time Ryeowook's friends, Siwon and Kyuhyun. Ryeowook served fruit punch for the guests. Now the guests complete, still wait for another host party to come.

Kim Heechul put his cellphone to his pocket. He was waiting the elevator. When the elevator arrived, he quickly went inside and pushed the button to the basement. In no time, he arrived at his car. Heechul unlocked the car, get inside it, and turn on the engine.

He took a glance to the digital clock, still plenty of time. Heechul must pick up the cake he ordered previously. He started his car and left the building.

***

Ryeowook just served a bowl of popcorn when he realized it was almost 8 PM. As usual, his brother late. He sighed, but then remembered maybe Heechul picked up the cake at the bakery. Maybe lots of customers there.

"What's wrong, Wookie?" Shindong asked while munching the popcorn. "Nothing. Hechul-hyung late," Ryeowook smiled. "The traffic. Kinda crazy this night," said Shindong, suddenly laughed at Hankyung who got punished because he lost for the fourth time in UNO card game. Then Shindong continued, "Maybe he go to somewhere else first?"

Ryeowook nodded. "Yeah, I think he goes to bakery first. Take our cake for tonight," Ryeowook started to eat the popcorn with Shindong. They watched the UNO card game for another round (this time Siwon lost) when the telephone rang. Ryeowook picked it up. "Hello?"

Other five guys laughed and talked hilariously when suddenly Ryeowook screamed and fell to the floor, still holding the phone. Hankyung and Jungsu hurriedly came to Ryeowook. Jungsu took the phone and talked to the person across the line. "Ryeowook-ah, are you alright?" Shindong stood from the couch. Kyuhyun and Hankyung took Ryeowook to the couch. Siwon came with a glass of water and gave it to Ryeowook.

Ryeowook accepted the glass but didn't drink it. He quite shocked. Hankyung took the glass and put it on the table. "Are you alright, Ryeowook-ah? What happen?" Hankyung asked. Ryeowook started to cry and said, "Heechul-hyung,,,"

Heechul tried to open his eyes. He adjusted his eyes to the light. He realized this wasn't his room. Heechul tried to get up, but he couldn't. He lifted his left hand, and it attached to an IV bag. His right hand went to his neck and gypsum surrounded it.

Heechul sighed. His mind started to remember what happen. All he could remember was a blinding light and a hard crash. Then it went black. “Am I in the hospital?” Heechul thought while glanced around the room. He was involved in accident, apparently.

He felt that something held his right hand. He lifted his head a little and saw his brother’s face, sleep while holding his hand. Heechul could see the trail of tears in Ryeowook’s face. Heechul felt guilty inside his heart. He didn’t dare to move, in case he woke his brother up. Heechul could see that Ryeowook stayed all night to accompany him.

Suddenly, sound of alarm from Ryeowook’s phone filled the room. With his eyes closed, Ryeowook reached the phone from his pocket and took a peek. He pressed the button and put it back to his pocket. Ryeowook yawned and stretched his body. When he opened his eyes, he saw Heechul smiled at him. “Hyung!” said Ryeowook.

“Wook-ah, you awake already?” said Heechul with low voice. Ryeowook just nodded and pushed the button to call the nurse. “Why are you in such hurry?” asked Heechul. “Hyung, doctor need to be called to check you,” said Ryeowook. The nurse came and Ryeowook told her that Heechul finally wake up and asked her to call the doctor. The nurse left.

Ryeowook sat down again and held Heechul’s hand. “You involved in accident. Your car has been hit by a drunk driver...” Ryeowook couldn’t continue because he started to cried. He cried uncontrollably while holding Heechul’s hand. Heechul released his hold and stroke Ryeowook’s hair. “I thought I lost you, Hyung. When I came, you were in critical condition,” Ryeowook sobbed. Heechul still stroke his hair, understood his brother’s reaction. He still remembered the day when their parents died. Ryeowook wiped his tears.

“I’m sorry, Wookie. Now you see me here, alive, talking with you. Stop your crying, okay?” said Heechul. Ryeowook nodded and quickly wiped his tears. The doctor came and checked Heechul. After he examined Heechul, he told Ryeowook that his brother need to be stay in hospital until New Year. Ryeowook bowed and thanked the doctor.

He looked at Heechul, who already have shock face. “What?” asked Ryeowook. “We can’t have our New Year Party?” asked Heechul. Ryeowook rolled his eyes. Even in this condition, he still thinking about his social life. That was Kim Heechul he knew and so glad that his brother alive.

On January 1, Heechul finally discharged from the hospital. His best friends, Jungsu, Hankyung and Shindong came along with Ryeowook to pick Heechul up. While Ryeowook dealt with adminisitration, his friends talked with Heechul inside the room.

Heechul sat on a wheelchair and all dressed up. Shindong sat on the bed, while Jungsu and Hankyung sat on a couch. They talked about Ryeowook came with papers in his hand, but a bit confused. Heechul frowned and asked Ryeowook, “Is that expensive?”

Ryeowook still stared at the bills. “No, Hyung. It’s not about that, but,,,” Ryeowook stopped and keep looked at the papers. Heechul grew impatient. “But what? Can you speak clearly and finish what you start?” said Heechul. Ryeowook gave a paper to Heechul to read.

Heechul accepted the paper. Apparently it was a letter. Heechul read it, while Ryeowook walked to the couch and sat between Jungsu and Hankyung. Jungsu asked with gesture, Ryeowook can only shrugged his shoulder. So everyone waited for Heechul’s reaction. Heechul siged and folded the paper.

“Apparently, someone has a deep regret. This letter is from the driver’s family,” said Heechul. “That drunk driver?” asked Shindong. Heechul nodded. Ryeowook added, “The family already paid the hospital bill.”

“There must be something they want,” said Jungsu. “They asked me to forgive their son,” said Heechul. “How come you can forgive them when he almost killed you!” said Ryeowook. Heechul sighed. “Let’s put it this way, Ryeowook-ah. The driver will face charges from police. He was DUI, and caused an accident. There was a victim, which is me. He already in deep shit with the police.”

Everyone in the room kept silence. “It’s logical if I want to kill that man. For this case, I’m using my heart. Yeah, I forgive that man,” said Heechul. “May I ask why?” Hankyung asked. Heechul just shrugged. “Let’s call it Christmas blessing. It happened on Christmas Eve. During my time here, I’m really grateful of what I have. Family,” Heechul smiled to Ryeowook. “Good friends,” he added and smiled to Shindong, Jungsu and Hankyung. “Let’s call it Christmas blessing,” he ended.

Ryeowook pushed Heechul’s wheelchair. Jungsu went first to get the car while Hankyung and Shindong brought Heechul’s item. Heechul smiled and said thank you to all nurses along his way to the lobby. When they reached lobby waiting for Jungsu’s car, Heechul touch his pocket. The letter was there.

“Ryeowook-ah, let’s got to the police station tomorrow. I want to meet the driver. No discussion about this,” Heechul said in firm voice. “Okay, Hyung. I will accompany you tomorrow,” said Ryeowook. Soon, the car came. Ryeowook helped Heechul to stand up and entered the car, while other put Heechul’s belonging in the trunk. They left the hospital.
