Unexpected Journey || Hoonsuk AU

Chapter 10 : Light

"Woah, we are finally here! Hyung, hyung let me take a photo of you." After 11 hours of flight, Hyunsuk and Jihoon safely arrived in Thailand. The blue and bright sky welcomed them. Hyunsuk takes off his sunglasses to look at the pleasant sky. It is so bright and beautiful. Not wasting any time, Jihoon takes his camera out to take photos of the pleasant view.

Hyunsuk is a bit getting used to Jihoon being randomly taking a picture of him or anything surrounding him. It's a good thing considering his job. He never missed any good spots and beautiful scenes because of Jihoon.

As he walked toward the main gate of the airport, Hyunsuk could hear a familiar voice calling for his name.

"OPPA!" Before he could turn his head to look at the sound, he was already hugged by someone.

"Hyuna," Hyunsuk groaned a bit because of the sudden collision made by his sister. He frowned.

"Hehehe, Oppa," Hyuna grinned looking at his brother. He misses the latter so much.

"How long have you been waiting?" Hyunsuk asked as his sister let go of the hug.

"Just two hours." Hyunsuk's eyes widened. He rubbed his sister's body and check her thoroughly.

"What? Why don't you just wait at the hotel? Haven't you booked one? Have you taken your lunch?" Hyunsuk looks at his watch. It shows at half-past twelve. He then looks at his sister again. He can't believe his sister waiting for two hours at the airport.

"Oppa, I am not a kid. Plus, this airport is conveniently waiting. Don't worry, okay?" Hyuna said as he lock his brother's arm. Jihoon was shocked at the different personalities of these siblings. There is such a huge gap between their attitudes. It's like looking at two different seasons at the same time. 

"Hyung!" Hyunsuk and Hyuna turn their head simultaneously at the voice.

"Jihoon," Hyunsuk said. Hearing his brother, Hyuna let go of his brother's arm. Then, Hyunsuk moves closer to Jihoon. To be honest, she was a bit shocked by the situation. Her older brother talking with a stranger? They looked somewhat close.

"Uhm, Oppa?" Hyuna said as she approached them.

"Oh, -"

"Oh, hi. I am Park Jihoon. 25 years old. A photographer and Hyunsuk hyung's friend!" Hyunsuk was cut with Jihoon's sudden and loud introduction. He is bowing 90° facing Hyuna. There's a longer introduction this time. Hyunsuk thought.

Wait, friend? When did he become my friend?

Suddenly, Jihoon feels a heavy slap on his back. He turned his head around looking at act-like-nothing-Hyunsuk. All of the pain in his back is faded away. His lips create a smile. Hyuna's eyes widened looking at the situation. She put on a worried face and stepped toward those two but her steps stop when she sees a smile on Jihoon's lips.

Did he smile?

The aura between those two is weird. Even though her brother put on his cold and stoic face, she knows too well that he is not uncomfortable with Jihoon's accompany.

Hyunsuk rolled his eyes. "Come on. Let's go to our hotel." He said. Hyuna who silently watched the scene just tagged along. There's something incredible about Jihoon. The more you look at him, the more you get attached to him. His enthusiasm influences the surrounding. Not only does he lighten the mood, but he also brings positive energy for the day.

Jihoon offers himself to bring some of Hyuna's bags. She politely rejected after seeing the latter's hand already full of familiar luggage which belong to her brother. Hyuna sighing. Hyunsuk knows how to take chances over something like this. Not long after, Jihoon strides away to Hyunsuk's side because the smaller one already frowning saying they're moving too slow.

Hyuna forged a smile. She feels lucky that Jihoon appears on the trip her brother takes. Maybe his presence would bring the light to his brother's life. Hope so.

"Hyuna, what are you spacing out about? Quick or you're left behind." Hyuna jogged a bit following her brother's steps. "Oppa, wait." She said. She can't contain her smile.

"Hyuna you didn't book a hotel room yet?" Silent.

Hyuna doesn't even dare look at her brother's eyes. She's never going for a trip alone to be exact. All of her trips were handled by her manager. All of her schedules, everywhere she goes, and what she did. Everything was handled by her manager.

She's just fidgeting her fingers together as if she doesn't know how scary her brother is when he's mad. Deep down, she'd blame herself because she didn't listen to what her manager said. She was supposed to agree with her manager when the latter said he want to book a hotel room for her.

"Hyung, don't you book two hotel rooms?" Hyuna raises her head. Two? Why would Oppa book two rooms?

"Yes one for you and one for me." Hyuna lowered her head again.

"That's good then. Both of us can share a room. Miss Hyuna can have another room." Jihoon comes up with a suggestion. Hearing it, Hyuna lightens up a bit. She then looks at her brother's reaction. Cold as ever with his arm wrapped around his body, legs crossed together, and a scary glare.

Jihoon's heart thumped so fast when he suggests the solution. He was scared of what might come if he shared a room with someone he like. He slowly turns in Hyunsuk's direction. Waiting for his reaction. It was a lie if he didn't look forward to being in the same room as Hyunsuk. It is one of the best ways to get closer to him.

A few days before they depart to Thailand, both of them argue about it. Hyunsuk insisted on staying in a different room while Jihoon suggested it's better if they shared because for him, booking two different rooms would charge them more. Of course, Jihoon would lose in the argument after Hyunsuk said he will pay for it all.

"Hahaha" Hyunsuk looked in Jihoon's direction.

"What's funny?" He obviously can't get rid of his awful mood. Jihoon moves next to his side, standing next to him in the corridor of the hotel room. 

"Miss Hyuna lucky must be lucky to have you as her brother," Jihoon said as he open the can of beer. He noticed how different Hyunsuk's aura was around his sister. He is more tender and soft. He then offers a can of beer to Hyunsuk but the latter politely rejected it.

"Nah, I am lucky to have her." A short answer from Hyunsuk a little bit makes Jihoon shocked. Another new side of Hyunsuk. Despite not showing it, Jihoon knows deep down there, that Hyunsuk meant what he said. Hyunsuk then turned his back and enjoy the fascinating day view of the city. They decided to rest at the hotel for a while to recharge their energy.

"I've never been in a suite before. It feels good to be in such a high-cost place." Jihoon beaming. He takes out his camera and takes some pictures of the views. He moves the camera to his side. Like a routine, he will turn his camera to shoot Hyunsuk's side while the latter just enjoying the view.

Hyunsuk gets used to it. He's slowly getting used to Jihoon's habit that gonna take photos of him at the most random time. He's fine with it as long as it is under his consent. Plus, he never feels dissatisfied with Jihoon's works.

"Oppa-" Hyuna slow down her voice as she noticed Jihoon being focused on taking photos of her brother and her brother to enjoy it? Tho he didn't look at the camera, Hyuna was convinced that his brother enjoy it. She can't help but feel a little bit giddy.

"Oppa~~" Hyuna moves closer to where his brother and Jihoon are standing.

"Hyuna"
"Miss Hyuna"

Hyunsuk and Jihoon are in sync as they turn their body around in Hyuna's direction. Hyuna grins ear to ear. She clasped those guys' hands as she got closer to them.

"I am hungry. Let's eat."
