The Miracle Of A Lifetime

Chapter 9 : Reunion

"You won't believe what just happened..." Yongguk said to me. He looked pretty worried. I walked out of my room and walked towards Yongguk who was pointing at something. I looked through the door to his room and I saw Youngjae. He somehow set himself free, and instead of helping Junhong, he placed a bullet in his own brain. He was on the floor, blood was everywhere. He held a gun in his hand. Junhong - who was still tied to his chair - cried like he has never cried before. I understand him though. I know what it feels like to lose someone I love. First he lost me, and now his brother. I really feel sorry for him. I walked into the room, avoiding the puddle of blood. I walked up to Junhong and wiped away his tears. Gently, I removed the duct tape from his mouth. He didn't say a word. I slowly wrapped my arms around him. I wanted to make him feel better. He couldn't hug me back because his hands were tied, but I could feel his head resting on my shoulder. His warm tears were sinking into my shirt.
"Yongguk, make a cup of green tea for Junhong." I ordered. "jongup, can you please bring tissues and a sharp knife from the kitchen?" I asked, he nodded and left.
"It's okay Junhong, I'm here..." I whispered. A few seconds later, Jongup came back with a knife and a box of tissues. I took the knife and cut the rope that Junhong's hands and lefs were tied with, and I gave him the box of tissues. Then, Yongguk came back with a cup of hot tea and gave it to Junhong. He was still crying, but not as hard.
"Come on Junhong, You shouldn't sit here and watch Youngjae lay there..." I said. He nodded and we all went to the livingroom and sat on the couch. Junhong sat next to me, and Yongguk sat on my other side, putting his arm around me. He wanted to make it clear that he has no mercy for Junhong, just because his brother died, and he wanted to show him that I'm his, and Junhong doesn't have a chance. I patter Junhong's back. By now he has stopped crying but he stil didn't speak.
"Shall we let him go?" I asked Yongguk. He looked down. It was clear that he didn't want to say yes.
"I don't know. I mean... I would but I don't trust him. Do you?" Yongguk replied. I looked at Junhong, "Should I?" I asked Junhong. He didn't say a word. I know he wanted me to trust him, but I wasn't sure if I'm doing the right thing. I looked back at Yongguk
"I don't know... I'm scared to let him go because what if he'd want to take revange? Or do something stupid too?" I muttered under my breath. Yongguk nodded and thought for awhile.
"Junhong, we'll let you stay here for awhile. I'll give you my room for some time. I'll sleep on the couch." I announced. Yongguk was clearly suprised by what I just said.
"Uhm, no you won't." Yongguk said. "He'll sleep on the couch or you'll sleep in my bed and I'll sleep on the couch or with you. Choose." No I was suprised by what he said.
"I'll let Junhong choose." I said. Junhong looked at me and then looked down again without a word.
"Fine, I'll sleep with you. I don't want you to sleep on the couch." I said to Yongguk. I think I shouldn't have said that. it only made Junhong more jealous. But what can I do? it's not my fault. I have strong feelings for Yongguk. Talking to him makes me feel like I've known him for my whole life. I can be myself around him. 

Evening came and I was going to bed. Just then I thought, How will Junhong go to school? Will he? I can't leave him here alone. I don't trust him that much. Someone has to stay with him. I would but Yongguk won't like that idea. He would want to stay instead but Junhong and Yongguk under one roof... Alone... Not a good plan. I was in Yongguk's bedroom with him.
"Junhong can't go to to school tomorrow. He's going through a lot of shit right now." I said to Yongguk quietly. He rolled his eyes.
"Why do you care about him so much? A few days ago you didn't want to have anything to do with him and now you act like his best friend." He moaned.
"Because he just lost his brother. He had to watch him put a bullet in his brain and bleed out on the floor." I explained. "Someone needs to stay herre with him. I don't trust him enough to leave him here alone... I'll stay for one more day." I announced. Yongguk didn't look happy about it.
"Make sure you'll miss me when I'm not here." He said and smiled. I instantly smiled back at him. I came up to him and higged him. He hugged me back and then pushed me onto the bed. he then crawled on top of me and kissed me gently.
"We should sleep now. You need to get up early." I whispered to Yongguk.
"Yes, eomma." He said and got off of me. He was on the bed, covered up with a blanket. I got under the blacket as well. I closed my eyes and as I tried to fall asleep i felt Yongguk wrapping his arms around me. I was held tightly in his embrace, and soon we fell asleep together.
