Love Redefined

Chapter 41

"I'm so afraid, I'm so worried. Thanks for coming back dude." Kimmon couldn't help but to rushed to Copter right when his sight caught Copter walking out from the room. He had been keep himself at a space for Copter and Tae, but now when Copter is already here, he couldn't keep it in anymore. He rushed and hugs Copter, shocking the hell out of everyone, but second later Bas had giving out a warm smile. He is the only one who knew what Kimmon had gone through after Copter went missing.

Copter could only patted on Kimmon's back to calm him down. He knew that Kimmon might be feeling guilty because of him, even though none of it was his fault. He had been nothing to him but a good friend even though it was started differently between them.

After some time Kimmon was letting go the hug but somehow he was frowning. "Cop, you....." just like he could understand what Kimmon was trying to say, Tae cut his words right away.

"We all hungry now, right? Let's catch up while we have our lunch, okay?" For that Kimmon was looking at Tae and he could saw Tae was shaking his head a little at him, making him nod his head.

Tae was pulling Copter slowly coming closer to the dining table, pulling the chair out for him to sit and serve him the food on the table, while everybody else taking their place and serve themselves. When Tae was about to feed Copter, but then Copter stops him and was shaking his head, making him understand that he wanted to eat by himself.

"But I want to feed you, please let me feed you, baby." Copter was just giving Tae a scrunched up face, making Tae a little bit sulky.

"Just let him do it, Cop. I guess that was one of the wish list he had while looking and waiting for you all this time." Said Park couldn't bear to watch Tae being sulky, not being himself, or rather something he rarely saw on Tae's expression.

'Wish list?' Copter thought it was something he should have now that he came back. He couldn't think of anything like it all these times because all he had in mind was doubt, and most of it was afraid. But now that he think about it, P'Tae had never had any doubt and always had confident that he will be back one day that he could have this thing call 'wish list'. P'Tae had always had that confident in him, while he had always doubt almost about everything. Just thinking about it makes he feel bad and worse.

Thinking about it, Copter look at Tae straight in his eyes, with his watery eyes, he nodded at him. That simple action making Tae smiling ear to ear, makes Copter smiling too. But not just him, it was also makes all four others on the table smiling, since all they did was watching these two love birds communicate with each other.

"I'll put the medicine on all your body and that you already had your antibiotic, you just have to rest and sleep, okay." Tae was tugging Copter on the bed once they finish their lunch. Even though he was just waking up from sleep, his body was still weak, that Tae was afraid, he would fall down any moment, even while sitting or walking.

Copter was holding on Tae's hand while shaking his head. He was weak yes, and now that he took the medicine, he gets sleepy, but he didn't want to lose sight of his P'Tae. Felt like if he didn't see him, he will felt like he was still stuck in that boat, out of nowhere.

"Okay, okay, I'll be here with you till you fall asleep. I didn't know my baby could be this clingy." Copter was making a sulky face while still hugging Tae's hand as hard as he could, though Tae could barely felt his grip.

Tae then was lying beside him, pulling him into his arms, while humming a lullaby that he was use to hum whenever Copter was sulky and feeling down. That was hit straight to his heart, and Copter felt warm inside his P'Tae's arms that he couldn't ask for more. He was thankful he could endure all those times on the boat just to be back here, in Tae's arms. Those humming seems so melodious that it makes him feel the peace and comfortable.

It doesn't took long for Copter to fall asleep, and when Tae had felt the steady breath of Copter, he was slowly getting down the bed, make sure Copter was comfortable before carefully getting out of the room where all their friends are waiting.

"He's asleep?" Park was the one asking when he was bringing a tray of drinks to the table in the living room when he saw Tae was coming out of the room. Tae just nods his head while they walking together heading to the living room, which is not that far, where everyone else turning their head to them when they heard Park's voice.

Once he took his seat, everyone was giving him attention and was waiting. He knew why they were waiting, but unfortunately he didn't have the answer they were anticipate right now.

"I know what all of you think, and wanted to know, but unfortunately, I didn't have that answer either. I couldn't ask, and actually didn't have the chance to even ask him yet. Still, I don't want to push on it. The thing is, there are bigger issue than that right now." Tae said making Kimmon sighing.

"It's Copter isn't it? He didn't talk at all, and he seems comfortable that way. That's why you cut me off earlier, right, P?" Asked Kimmon making all of them frowning.

"Not even to you? I thought it was because we were there." Asking Lam.

Tae was nodded his head dejectedly.

"Anyway, we will get to it one by one. For now I wanted to focus on his health and emotion. For that, I'm sorry Lam and Park, I have to leave work to both of you once again. I don't think Copter could be left alone even for a moment. I wanted to be here with him and treated him so he will get better and back to his old himself, if I could."

"You don't have to worry about work. It's all the same routine every day anyway. Since the construction had finished and the laundry had already start it operation, there's not much at work except for managing the café. So, you really can put your mind at ease." Said Lam convincing Tae not to worry about work.

"We will also come here to accompany him after school, P'Tae. We will play with him, until he was feeling bored seeing our faces.....hihi." Said Kimmon trying to lighten up the situation, and Bas was nodding while laughing hearing Kimmon.

Tae, Park and Lam would just smile hearing Kimmon. Tae was really appreciating all these guys that never cease to give him and Copter all the support they ever needed.
