Our Last Waltz

CHAPTER 17

after those feet walked out of the room, Hyunjae was the first one to come inside and check the condition of his girlfriend. he let out a soft and relief sigh from his mouth when he see her chilling on the bed.

"I thought he killed you already!" he whispered to her ears with the sound of relief in his voice. "silly, what made you think he will?" she laughed, letting the lad sit beside him.

"I don't know? maybe because of the fact that he use to be a psycho...." Hyunjae was smacked by the girl in the arms lightly, "owh! I was just saying!" he rolled his eyes before giving the girl a smile.

"but it doesn't matter, you're already mine, anyways.." he placed a soft kiss on her lips, "and you're mine," she respond and kissed him back, placing her both hands on his soft cheeks.

Johnny was about to peek inside the room when he saw the both were already having a great time. his eyes examine the sight before his face gives a big frown. Jaehyun chuckles at him before looking at both couples inside. not even single jealousy stings him this time. all he could say was I'm thankful you're now happy.

multiples of butterflies inside their stomach came out and it was calming them both hearts. the simple and soft touch of their lips already caused millions of joy. it was like running in a field with raindrops falling, and people around you would slowly fade and your eyes were fixed on the person you are holding on to. the person you know called home.

"they're cute together but kissing in front without even giving a warn is not cute." Johnny told with disgust written all over his face. "man, let them live. get yourself a girlfriend also, so you will know how lovely it feels to be in that position." Jaehyun affirmed as he earns a snicker from the latter.

"I can't do that, even if it sounded fun and exciting, kissing a random person whom you just meet on a random day and doesn't even know her half of your life is just oddly disgusting." he then cleared his throat, "unlike them, they knew each other since high school!" he retorted back.

"Alright, whatever makes you sleep at night," Jaehyun told, chuckling. both lads walked inside the kitchen, sitting down next to their sulking friend.

Jaehyun pats Mark's head softly, "don't worry, kid. Haey is gonna be fine... for now." the oldest reassured him. "although she will, is it possible for her to be with us in the future?"

"yeah, but her features would change."Johnny answered, in a joking manner. "like what?" Jaehyun asked with a big frown. "like... she would turn into ashes?" their jaw dropped at the stupid and unbelievable joke the oldest pulled.

Jaehyun's eyes blinked rapidly as it stares over the man who was already feeling guilty about what he said. "j-johnny, i-its a good joke, its a good joke but...." Jaehyun stuttered, "alright, alright I'll take that back!" Johnny responded.

"you're not helping..." Mark scowl at the oldest. "that's why I'm taking back the joke!" he retorted back, receiving multiples of glares from Jaehyun. "you better be..." he muttered under his breath.

"hey, you gotta save some for Hyunjae Hyung!" Mark spoke, grabbing the food from Johnny's arms. the latter then stuck his tongue out, ready to put up a fight to the younger one.

"I can't imagine what your both futures would be without Haey..." Jaehyun who was sitting peacefully in front of them mumbled, shaking his head as he watches them both fight over food.

"hey-"

"HEY!" Jaehyun screamed, banging his fist on the table. even the maids inside got startled by the voice and made them all walk out of the room.

both lads turn to look at him, still having their hands on the food they were fighting over. Jaehyun took the food and pulled it close to him, keeping it beside his chair.

"I can't believe you two will act like this when Haey is not around!" his voice rises towards both lads. "u-uh.." Mark was speechless. "pull yourself together and at least learn something from what Haey told you!"

"he's right..." Hyunjae came inside the dining room and sits down next to Jaehyun before he pulls the food from his grip. "thank you." he told to Jaehyun before he opens it.

"Is she okay?" Mark's eyes changes into worried ones, looking at the lad who just came inside. "yes she's fine." he bluntly told before eating his food. he took some from their plates and ate them.

"you know, you two can't just act like this when the people you needed the most are slowly dying.." Hyunjae mumbled with food in his mouth. "you can't even imagine a day without Haey, what more if she's already gone?"

silence filled their atmosphere, feeling a pang of guilt was put on their hearts. Hyunjae was right. Haey was the only one they have, the only family that keeps them company. hearing her now slowly dying every minute reminds them of the feeling of alone.

Johnny never expected these kinds of words from the lad. even it was a little bit harsh to his heart, but he can't hide the fact that Hyunjae was right. Haey was already a big sister to him, even though he's the oldest. what made him more realize was he will now be the one struggling with the leftovers and depts. he can't image a life without the lass.
