Chapter 5

Everything become so awkward to Hyunsuk and Jihoon since that night happen. They keep on avoiding each other. Well, it's actually Jihoon who keep on avoiding Hyunsuk. He stop looking at him, glancing at Hyunsuk. He just act normal, talk to everyone but not Hyunsuk. Hyunsuk is sad. His eyes keep on lingering, sometimes hoping for their eyes accidentally locked and Hyunsuk can flash a smile but no, that doesn't happen. Hyunsuk sigh when he thinking about him.

'Why are you sighing ? You look upset." Siyeon appear in the kitchen, standing closer to Hyunsuk who busy washing dishes. Hyunsuk looking at Siyeon and flash a smile. But in his eyes, Siyeon could see his eyes are sad. It's not like usual Hyunsuk.

"If there something wrong, you can tell me." Siyeon smiling, stroking on Hyunsuk's hair. Hyunsuk shake his head and again he is smiling. "Nothing. It's nothing." Siyeon chuckles. She looking at Hyunsuk's face, try to look into his eyes. "Is there something happen between you and young master ? You seems avoiding him lately."

Hyunsuk froze on his stance. His lips tremble, try to find a correct answer. "No .. nothing. There is nothing to talk about, anyway." Hyunsuk lower his head, keeping himself busy with his work. "You decline when I told you to change the fresh flowers. You decline to bring hot tea to his room and ask me to do it. You do not want to go to his room, to do cleaning." Siyeon's face become so serious. It make Hyunsuk gulped. "What happen ?"

Hyunsuk sigh when Siyeon corner him like that. He admit, he can't lie well. But if he talk about it, he will cry. How disappointed he feel when Jihoon don't even lifted his face to look at him when Hyunsuk came to serve the hot tea. How Hyunsuk is sad when Jihoon quickly exit the room when Hyunsuk changing the fresh flowers or do some room cleaning. Jihoon avoid to look at him and pretend that he is not there. It is hard for Hyunsuk. 

"There's something but I can't tell you. I am sorry." Hyunsuk said while his head drop low, looking at the floor. Siyeon grab on Hyunsuk's shoulder, rubbing it slowly. "It's okay. Tell me if you are ready or just keep it to yourself. I don't mind." Hyunsuk lifted his head, looking at Siyeon. "Thank you, nuna."

It's night time, clock almost strike midnight and Hyunsuk is still in the kitchen. He finish moping, cleaning stove and wiping the table. He have so many thought on his mind and he want to avoid himself from keep on thinking about it. "Done !" Hyunsuk smiling, looking proudly at the shining floor. He turn back to keep the broom and mop, only to be surprised that Jihoon came to the kitchen. Jihoon enter the kitchen, and as usual he is ignoring Hyunsuk. Hyunsuk can smell alcohol and cigarette on Jihoon's clothes. His eyes teary and red. Jihoon look tipsy.

Jihoon loosen his shirt's button, then he took a glass of cold water and drank it in one go. Hyunsuk stay still, eyes not blinking looking at Jihoon. "Master ?" Hyunsuk muttered a word and Jihoon turn his head, looking at Hyunsuk. He put down his glass and he smirked, eyes piercing on Hyunsuk's face. To be honest, Jihoon kind of missing the small man, missing his face, his touch, his voice but his ego is so high that he want to avoid the man, as hard as possible. But right now, he can't think straight. He can't stop looking at Hyunsuk and he smile. "Choi Hyunsuk." Hyunsuk heard a deep low voice from Jihoon. Jihoon walk closer to Hyunsuk closing their gap but Hyunsuk keep on walking backward, until his back touch on Kitchen's counter. "Mas .. master .."

Hyunsuk look up, his eyes locked with Jihoon. Jihoon cage Hyunsuk in between of his arms, while his hands resting on the counter behind Hyunsuk. He lean forward and Hyunsuk shivered, he feel so nervous. "Choi Hyunsuk," Again, Jihoon calling his name and this time it's soft Hyunsuk tremble, his knees weak and he finally cried. He cried because he is nervous. He cried because he finally heard Jihoon's voice calling his name again. He cried because deep down, he is missing his young master.
