TIMELESS

FINAL

"You are invited to the Grand Reunion of Inhun High School."

Kihyun takes a deep breath reading the invitation in his hands. He glances at the computer on his desk and blanks for a minute. If only the invitation came last year, he would have gladly come and probably wave the invitation to his secretary's face who hates reunion invitation, any kind of reunion.

But this year is different. His heart is different.

Sighing, Kihyun dials the number on the phone and taps the desk to reduce his impatient heart. He presses the number again after the first time fails and waits; gradually increasing the rhythm of the tapping.

"Kihyun-ah!" A man's voice is heard from the other line.

"Are you ignoring me? Tired of me? That's what you did last year when you didn't invite me to your Christmas party."Kihyun bombards the person on the other line.

There's a big and loud laughter coming form the phone and makes Kihyun stretches his arm to rid the phone away from his ear.

"Sorry Kihyun-ah. Last year was a private party. Only my family and Namjoon's family were there. We discussed something important in the family. Hey, what's with this anger from? I thought I was your favorite senior?" The man was still laughing.

Kihyun scoffs. "I hate you." No, that's not true. Kihyun can not hate his senior who back then in high school was wonderfully helped him in every hardships and struggles he faced. Kim Seokjin, his senior and also his best friend in high school. It was not common to befriend with a senior but similarities and hobbies attracted both of them and made them close.

"Did you get the invitation, hyung?" asks Kihyun after the laughter dies down.

"U-huh. Coming?" asks Jin.

There's a silence for a second. Until Jin impatiently asks, "So?"

"Do you want to come, hyung?" Kihyun asks back; biting his lips.

Jin clears his throat. When there's a changing of Kihyun's tone and the way he talks, there must be something happened. "I will. Jinyoung has called me first and I have to say yes. Gosh, what happened with you two? Have you contacted him already? Is there something I need to know? I don't want to be some kind of middle man alright if you two have problem."

Kihyun smiles thinly. "He called you first? Tsk. No, don't worry. By the end of this afternoon, I will have him explained to me."

There's a sigh sound coming from other line. "Alright. I swear, you two ..." Jin doesn't continue his words.

"What will you do?"

No response from Jin and there's a rustle sound. After a while, Jin's voice comes back again. "Sorry Kihyun, that's Namjoon. We have to go somewhere. I will call you again alright."

"Ah, sweet husband of yours. Alright, see you hyung. Please change your incoming ringing tone with something new hyung. It's been a year you're still using that song that your husband made for you. Ah, the song is sweet but his voice--"

Jin laughs again. "I'd rather hear his voice than someone's else that I can't even spell the name. Alright, kiddo, I've got to go now."

"Yes, hyung. Bye." Kihyun hangs up the phone. He smiles to himself. Kim Seokjin or he calls him with Jin only, was married for 10 years with his high school sweetheart, Kim Namjoon. Namjoon was a nerd kid, the smartest one and junior of Jin. The whole school was in shock when one day they attended the spring party together since Jin was one of the most popular student for his good looking face and his kind nature. They made as an odd pair at school. Since everyone who had crush on Jin were against their relationship. They went through ups and downs together during high school and college. When Namjoon was almost in his last semester of college, Jin was pregnant (he already worked at that time as piano teacher). They got married with simple party and Namjoon had to work part-time to support his education and their baby. Years passed by with Namjoon becoming a successful businessman. Jin was still working as piano teacher. They already had two children. The last one was born six months ago and Kihyun was there too. Smiling broadly, he could see the love and adoration that never cease away from Namjoon to Jin since high school until now.
