55. Heart to Heart

"Hayoon. I'm taking you out on a date." He shouts from behind.

What?.

"You heard it right."

I'm getting married in 3 days.

"I want to spend some time with you."

And why is that.

"Isn't it obvious."

What's obvious, you're acting completely unlike yourself.

"Mom wants me to study abroad."

Wha-.

He nods.

"But I will come back."

Don't come back settle there.

"Hayoon. Please spend some time with me. I will not be able to attend your wedding."

Why?.

"I just can't..."

Heeseung I miss the old you who wouldn't care even if the world turned upside down. Your talks make no sense these days. Are you watching too many movies?.

"Or if you don't want to go out with me. I'll stay by your side here."

Go read your book.

Two days passed. And Heeseung didn't show up to school. I wonder if he went. But without even saying good bye?.

"Hong Hayoon."

Oh Hyunsuk-ah.

"Let's chit chat."

"So you're finally getting married."

It feels weird right?. Even I can't believe it.

"This is our last talk here. I will miss you."

Me too. I'm already getting emotional looking around the school. You will have to come.

"Am I getting invited?. I need invitation."

Obviously me and Chenle ourselves will come to invite you.

"Even if you don't invite. I will come."

All of this is coming to an end. Now all the memories starts flushing in my head.

"The day we talked. I knew you were a kind hearted personality."

Look who is speaking. That's for you, that describes you. You're the kind one, the gentleman.

"Oh Hayoon. You compliment me a lot."

By the way Hyunsuk. Do you probably know where Heeseung is.

"Missing him?."

Nothing like that.

"You don't have to act like that. Did I ever judge your feelings?."

I decided to get over him.

"And you can't erase those thoughts about him right?."

I tried my best and will still try.

"Hayoon. Please don't do things that will make you regret in future. I told the same thing to him."

Hyunsuk-ah, today is my last day. The last time I saw him was three days ago.

"You're worried right?."

"He is unwell. That's why he couldn't come."

What happened to him?.

"He had high fever. Doctor told him to take complete rest."

Is it that serious?.

"I mean. Yes he couldn't walk, he was feeling weak."

"You can go and meet him. He will feel good. And, Haerin and aunty are out of station. He must be feeling so lonely."

"Hyunsuk-ah. Yoon Hyunsuk."

"Hayoon. I gotta go. Take care bye."

Did he really mean the things he said?. My thoughts keep circling around him. What should I do?. What if he really needs someone to look after him.

I grab my bag and run to his house without having any second thought.

I ring the bell to find the door is open. I slowly walk inside asking if anyone is here but Hyunsuk was right.

I walk to Heeseung's room to find him sleeping on his bed. I touch his head to check the temperature and he wakes up.

"You're here?."

You made me worried.

"Did I?."

I mean...you're sick, how can I not visit you?.

He just looks at me.

"So today's the last day..."

Yes...

A moment of silence.

I will make you soup.

"Do you even know cooking?." He bursts out laughing.

I- don't underestimate me. I will look into YouTube.

"Let's see." He giggles.

I did tell him I will look into the recipe but honestly I have no idea about how kitchen works. How to even on the gas.

I somehow manage to make it.

Lee Heeseung sit up. Here's your hot soup.

"I'm not well can you feed me?."

You have hands.

"But I can't lift them."

Only this time. I grab the spoon and slowly feed him.

Be careful it could be hot.

What happened to you?.

"I don't know suddenly I caught a fever. I feel like dying is better."

He takes a sip and gulps it.

Does it taste that bad?.

"It's salty."

I'm sorry I'm not good at cooking but I tried.

"So give it to me I'll drink." He grabs the bowl and drinks it in one go.

Heeseung are you mad, why would you do that?.

"Cuz you cooked it for me."

"Are you hungry?. I'll cook you something."

You rest, don't worry about me.

"Are you staying?."

No I'll have to go.

Heeseung. Do come to my wedding tomorrow.

"I'm not."

Atleast for your best friend.

"I will tell him."

What excuse will you give.

"I'm not well as you can see."

"You missed me right?."

Why will I miss you?.

"You clearly did."

I did not.

"Why would you even bother to come here then?."

I was worried, you were alone. I didn't see you for days.

"So you did miss me."

I did not....I breakdown.

Why are you so cruel?. I tried my best to get over you. I almost did and you kept pulling your silly games. What do you wish to see Heeseung?.

"Why did you fall for me in first place Hayoon. A guy like me, a cold guy who always despised you. Who always treated you bad?."

I just don't know, I have no answer for that. Do you think I purposely fell for you?. We can't control emotions Heeseung we're not robots.

"Exactly Hayoon."
