Love Redefined

chapter 44

Tae was lovingly watching how busy Copter is. Copter told him he wanted to make this dinner for everyone as an appreciation. For being a friend, for the help in every time they were in need. Therefore he wanted to make this dinner. However, he had prevented Tae from doing anything this time. Usually, Tae will cook for the guests but not tonight. Copter wished he is a good cook just like Tae, but he always knew how bad he is, so, he ordered the food from the hostel's café downstairs.

The food arrive not long ago, and Copter busy preparing the place for the food and other things, didn't let Tae helping him. Therefore, Tae could just watching busy Copter while smiling. The boy was so stubborn today, he couldn't win the favor so he at least help, but no. Copter vehemently preventing him from doing any work for the dinner tonight. Tae was just shaking his head. He hopes Copter wouldn't be too tired tonight.

Tae remember the first day Copter was brought seeing his speech therapist doctor. The doctor was explaining all the process and the session he needs to go through. Copter was so focused and serious that Tae was so proud of him. Not a little bit hesitant nor stress, Copter was accepting and hearing the doctor very diligently.

However, once they back home from the session, Copter made him shocked, a little bit disappointed when he said for all the session after that, he will go there by himself. No matter what Tae said, Copter was able to denied him and saying it was all for the better for the both of them. Tae could focused on his work and stop ditching all the work to Park and Lam. And he could focused on his treatment.

Since then, Copter had his session almost every day and he was focused on his piled of work. It had been two months since then and suddenly Copter said he wanted to make this gathering, missing all his friends, he said. Tae just agreed right away. He really thinks Copter needs to have his rest, and this kind of rest is a good thing in a way.

The bell on the door takes him out from his train of thoughts. When he saw Copter was turning around, he was standing up right away.

"I'll take the door." He said making Copter relax again and continue his work. There wasn't much, but there still things to do before everyone gets here.

"Korn? Knock? What are you doing here?" Asked Tae shocked, taking Copter's attention. Copter then run to the door when Knock, Korn and Tae were.

"Hi, Tae. Long time no see." Says Korn with his hand drape on Knock's shoulder.

"P..p..Ko..rn. P..p Knno...ck." Said Copter excitedly and was hugging them right away.

"Hey, Cop. How are you doing? How are you both doing?" said Knock this time.

"Come on in. Never thought I could see you both again." Said Tae while Copter just smile.

"Well, I thought so, until Copter messaged me asking about us. We've been keeping touch since then." Said Korn.

"P..p, ha..ve a ddd...drin..k f...fi..rst wwwh..il..e www...ai..t fo...r o..tth..er..s." Said Copter making Knock smile.

"Don't worry about us. Continue doing what you are doing. I saw you coming from the kitchen, so there still something you need to do, right?" Copter just smile and nodding his head hearing Knock and walk to the kitchen left the three of them.

"You both knew about his condition?" Asked Tae once Copter in the kitchen.

"Yes, we knew everything that had happened to him. We weren't actually always contacted, but once he contact, there's always something happened, that makes our heart break. We wanted to be beside him more than anything, but only now we could come here." Korn was the one answering.
