Dyslexia [ONE SHOT]

Dyslexia

Jongup was a dyslexic boy who had a passion for dancing. He would go to an underground club welcomed for all ages and would show off his dancing. Along with his two

year boyfriend and long time best friend,Kim Himchan. Himchan knew nothing of Jongup's disability. Until that day.

It was just right after Jongup and Himchan had finished their routine when Jongup's mother came up to them. "Annyeonghaseyo,Mrs Moon." Himchan bowed in respect.

"Umma? What are you doing here?" Jongup asked,confused as to why his mother was there. "Well,I received a ltter from your algebra teacher. Jongup,you're failing." Mrs

Moon said as she showed the letter to Jongup. "Jongup,I support you fully on your dancing. But I always told you,studies first! Jongup,I don't want to do this,but if you

don't show progress of any kind,I'm afraid I have to take dancing away from you." Mrs Moon said. "Don't worry,umma! I'll pass the next algebra test for sure!" Jongup

said,not wanting his passion to be taken away from him. "That's a promise,Jongup." Mrs Moon said and left the underground club,leaving a sighing Jongup and a worried

looking Himchan.

The next day,Himchan met Jongup outside of his classroom. Himchan obviously did not attend Jongup's school. He was a 22 year old man for crying out loud! Its just that

no one knows how he can actually get permission to enter the school. "So,how did your test go?" Himchan asked. "I sat beside a guy who fell asleep during the test..."

Jongup said,"that's great!" Himchan smiled. "Hyung,even he got a higher grade than me!" Jongup ehined and showed the paper that had a big red 'D' on it and Himchan's

smile faltered. "It's alright,Uppie. You just need a little.... Improving" Himchan said,looking for the right word. But how,hyung?" Jongup asked and went to his locker. Just

then,Himchan spotted Daehyun coming their way. Daehyun had amazing connections and he could get you anything you wanted. Only sometimes,for a price.

Though,Daehyun too didn't go to Jongup's school. He was 19,anyways. He only came to Jongup's school to see his 'vitamin'. Namely his boyfriend,Yoo Youngjae. "Dae!

Jongup needs your help. Know any math tutors?" Himchan grabbed Daehyun. "Wait,let me get my contact list out first." Daehyun said and grabbed a stack of business

cards from his inside his jacket. "Okay,let's see... Lion tamer... Vet... Baby sitter... Wha-? Horse whisperer?" Daehyun said as he threw out the horse whisperer's business

card. "Ah! Math tutor! His name's Choi Junhong. Goes by Zelo. Math AP. College guy." Daehyun said and gave Jongup the card. "Are you sure he can tutor me?" Jongup

asked. "Of course! Now,I need to see my daily vitamin Jae!" Daehyun said and handed off to look for Youngjae.

The next day,Himchan sat beside Jongup,trying to calm the boy down. "Hyungare you sure he can tutor me?" Jongup asked worriedly. "Of course he can." Himchan said

and as he finished speaking,a knock on the door could be heard. "Oh! There he is now!" Himchan said. Jongup opened the door and saw quite a tall boy with a babyface

standing at his door. "Well hello. I'm Zelo and I will be your tutor from now on." Zelo said as he entered the apartment. "Exactly how old are you?" Himchan asked. "16.

Who are you?" Zelo asked. "Kim Himchan,Jongup's-" "Well,nice to meet you,Mr Kim. But Mr Moon and I have some work to do. Goodbye." Zelo said as he pushed

Himchan out of the apartment.

After a few days of tutoring,Jongup started wondering. "Why do I have to learn algebra anyways? It's not like I want to do anything with it when I grow up!" Jongup

said,frustrated. "Well,what do you want to be,actually?" Zelo asked,"a dancer." Jongup replied,smiling. "Well,great career choice." Zelo smiled. "Mind if you show me

some moves?" Zelo asked and Jongup nodded,smiling. "Well,here I go. 1... 2... 3... 4..." Jongup counted and showed off some flashy moves. "Wait,you were counting!" Zelo

said and Jongup stared at him,confused. "Of course I was..." Jongup said. "And counting is in?" Zelo asked,"Math?" Jongup exclaimed. "Mow,we only have to imput math

problems!" Zelo smiled. "That's great! I have to tell Himchan hyung!" Jongup exclaimed and ran off. "Wait,Jongup!" Zelo shoutedd. "Well,now that he's gone off to

Himchan,there's no calling him back him." Jongup's brother,Yongguk,said from the couch. "Wanna join me?" ongguk asked,patting the seat next to him. Zelo reluctantly

agreed and joined Yongguk on the couch,watching war movies.

The next day,Zelo came early. However,Jongup was out with Himchan so Yongguk figured that he would keep Zelo entertained with waar movies. "Sorry I'm la-" Jongup

said as he came into the apartment. "Yongguk hyun,you've tainted him!" Jongup exclaimed. "Relax,uppie. It's not li-" "SHUSH! WE'RE WATCHING HERE!" Zelo cut

Himchan off. "Okay,he did taint him." Himchan said. "Zelo,you still need to tutor me!" Jongup exclaimed. "After this!" Zelo said. "Oh,never mind him. I can tutor you."

Himchan smiled. "Heh,like you can." Zelo scoffed. "Hey! I might not look like it but I'm a Maths AP!" Himchan exclaimed. "I didn't mean that. I meant that you can't teach

a dyslexic." Zelo said,finally tearing his eyes off of the TV and looked at Himchan and behind him,a shocked looking Jongup. "Wah-? Who'e dyslexic?" Himchan asked,

"Jongup is." Zelo said nonchalantly. "H0how'd you know?" jongup asked. "Cause my cousin's dyslexic and I tutor him." Zelo said and Himchan turned to Jongup. "Don't

look at me..." Jongup said and ran out with tears in his eyes. "Wait! Jongup!" Himchan said and ran after him. "I think you went too far on that." Yongguk looked at Zelo.

"Want me to go and chase after him?" Zelo asked. "Nope. Stay. Himchan will take care of him." Yongguk said and the two looked back on the screen.

Jongup ended up on the roof top garden. He looked at the scenery,crying. "Jongup,why did you keep this from me?" Himchan asked from behind. "Because its so

embarrassing!" Jongup cried and Himchan sat beside Jongup,cradling the crying boy. "Jongup,I know tons of embarrassing things about you and I never laughed at a

single one of those,did I? Why didn't you tell me?" Himchan asked. "Because people could be so mean! Do you know how scary it is having people know that you have

some kind of weird disorder?" Jongup buried his head in Himchan's chest. "I sometimes see numbers as letter. Do you know how fearful it is thinking that I would have to

read something out loud one day?" Jongup cried into Himchan's chest. Himchan rubbed soothing circles on Jongup's back,whispering sweet nothings. "Uppie,its alright.

Even if the whole world laughs at you,I'll be there comforting you. I'll life you back up to your feet when you fall. I'll be there to whipe your falled tears. I'll comfort you

when you need comfort." Himchan wiped away Jongup's tears. "And... You know that's I'll forever love you." Jongup said and kissed Jongup,soon after having the younger

reply to that kiss.
