When World Flipped | SukHoon

Three

Few knocks on the door awakens Hyunsuk from his deep sleep.

" Come in." In a morning voice while stretching his arms upward and squinting his eyes at the direct sunlight coming from the open window. Thinking how important it is for a maid to wake him up when it's Sunday morning and there's no schedules at academy for today.

" Good morning honey,  breakfast is ready. " from a sweet voice that made Hyunsuk got up immediately.

" Mom? " widening his eyes in surprise and beamed in happiness as he saw the lady that he missed for a whole long month. Almost jumped in his bed cause of excitement and immediately crawled towards his mother as she sat at the edge of his bed smiling sweetly to her only child.
" I missed you so much!" hugging his mother tightly making her feel how much he misses her.

" I missed my baby so much too. " Said by his mother as she hugged him back and kissed his forehead. " But for now,  fix yourself and go take a bath. You already smell like your bed baby. " said teasingly that made Hyunsuk whined and laughed after.
" Your father is waiting for you downstairs so don't take too long, okay ?" then stood up as Hyunsuk smiled and answered with a nod. Thinking there must be something important to discuss if his father wanted to see him. Very unusual since his father is just like a ghost in there house. Sometimes there but most of the times not.

As his mother said,  Hyunsuk just took a quick bath and wear a set of comfortable clothes. A quick glance on his reflection in a life-sized mirror then go downstairs.

Since when was the last time his father talked to him? 

He can't remember. His father is always spending his time with his work out of there house. Always having schedules out of the country and when he's not away, he's just spending all his time doing his work inside his office. That's how Hyunsuk grew up. With just a mother beside him.

" Good morning." He greeted and bowed politely as he saw the couple sitting on their chairs. Answered by a nod from his father and a sweet smile from his mother then smiled before going to his chair.

A maid automatically moved forward and placed a plate with a pair of utensils that he will use. He used to do it with his own whenever his parents are not around but he can't refuse as of the moment and in front of his father.

" Time flies really fast that I didn't notice how my child grew up. Who would've thought that eighteen years will just passed really fast and my boy is already a grown up man now. " Mr. Choi started breaking the silence between them.

" Honey you're just being too busy managing our businesses. But thankfully our child grew up perfectly even though we're not always at his side. " answered by his mother being proud to their only child.

" I've heard you're being too close with Kanemoto Yoshinori ? According to my sources, the youngest Kanemoto is a chick magnet, is it right? " asked by his father that made him stopped from eating his food.
" How many girlfriends did you have? Or do you have a girlfriend ? " and choked on his own.

" Honey,  Hyunsuk is too young for that." interrupted by his mother.

What to answer? Is it the right time to admit what he really is?  No. There's no chance he will ruin a nice conversation between them.

" Hyunsuk? " His father turned again making Hyunsuk gulped several times.

" I-I have no girlfriend and didn't have anyone. " He started, taking the couple's attention and trying his best not to make his nervousness be visible.
" I-I'm focusing on my s-studies. "

" That's my child. " Mrs. Choi being a proud mother then turned to her husband who just nodded like there's something running inside his head.

" Great ! cause we're having dinner with Shins and I want you to prepare for tonight Hyunsuk. " words from his father that made Hyunsuk stopped and stared at his father for awhile. Turning his gaze to his mother who just flashed a plain smile at him. Starting to think about something he don't want to happen. A curse of being in a renowned family.

When was the last time they'd talked to each other again? 

Returning the question he had inside his head again. Turning his gaze down to his food again and almost threw up at sudden thought that runs inside his mind.

" Honey isn't it too fast ? Hyunsuk is still young and it might distract him with his studies. " Mrs. Choi's soft voice filling the dinning area that turned silent as Mr. Choi opened the main discussion.

" Hyunsuk is already a grown up man now. He can do anything without us so why treating him like a baby when he's not anymore? " saying it as if what he wanted is just a normal thing that he wanted his child to do.

Hands are turning cold as the thought of what their discussion about is slowly sinking inside his head. He don't want it. He is not what his parents think he is. Everything aren't right as of the moment and he knew the answer from him will just ignite the fire. He also don't like it.

It's a kind of breakfast he wanted but didn't end to what he wanted it to be.

-*-

Rolling his body back and forth at his bed while thinking about random things. He wanted to talk to someone he's comfortable with and there's only one name appeared in his head. But Yoshi don't even know his secret either and if he knew, he don't know what will Yoshi think about him.

He's still young.

He still can change and he want it to make everything fall to what it should be. His life is not a kind of movie that will fall in favor of the main character cause reality is far different from those narrated stories. If he made any mistake, it will surely affect lots of things.

But still he believes everything will fall into the right place one day.
