Chapter 19 : Stay

The next morning, Seungri wake up and he noticed Jiyong hyung was still in deep sleep leaning at the bed. Eye bag of him clearly can be seen because Jiyong hyung doesn't sleep last night, worried if Seungri will scared again by Mr. Thunder. 

-Seungri POV- 

Since I was alone today, actually not alone, there's twin hyung too at home. Youngbae hyung was cooking in the kitchen. Jiyong hyung.... i don't know. It's been a long time I don't see his smile. I can't lie myself. I missed his smile so much. The way he teased me. OMG, I wish I can turn back time to the time that I'm not afraid seeing Jiyong hyung. I feel so empty without him. And now, thunder. I hate thunder. And I heard it while I'm playing with my iPad. Hurriedly, I play random song in the iTunes since my ear already covered with earphone. But, it didn't work.

'Hyung!! Riri scared!' I curled up my body on the floor where I was sitting before. I hit the floor making some noises to make hyung notice but it was failure because the thunder getting louder. the scattered thunderstorms can be seen through the window.   

I try hard turn up the volume of my video in the iPad and cover my ears with both my hands. Unluckily, it's still can be hear. The thunder. The I heard Youngbae hyung called me and he hugged me.

"Seungri... seungri.. shh... hyung is here...it's okay ... hyung is here now.." Youngbae soothing me down.

Just for awhile, hyung left me again to I don't know where. I covered my ears hard crying. It's scared as hell. I really hate Thunder. I remembered the last time I was in Jiyong hyung embraces during this hard time. 'Jiyong hyung... where are you hyung? Ri need you now. Ri scared' I thought in my mind even I'm still traumatic with the incident before. Yes, I'm trauma but it hurts me well when I can't get near with Jiyong hyung, my favourite hyung. 

Then I felt someone running towards and hugged me hard. This hug very familiar to me. I love to stay in his embraces. 'Is this Jiyong hyung?' I thought since I can't open my eyes, too scared. He's calming maknae down with his power words.

"Maknae-ya.. hyung is here..Shh.. don't cry.. shh... how can baby panda crying in this mess? Who made my panda like this?" then I pointed at the window saying that the thunder who turned me like this.

"Owh, that thunder make my panda like this. YOU WAIT THERE MR. THUNDER! I'LL GO AND BITE YOUR EAR BECAUSE YOU MADE MY PANDA CRYING!" I heard Jiyong hyung shouted at the window while rubbing circle at my back. I hugged him even tighter.

"Ri.. listen to this. It'll can make you calm." Jiyong hyun then plugged in another earphone belongs to him and played the song 'STAY'. He hugged mr tightly avoiding he listen to the thunder that I hate the most. the last thing I remember, I hugged Jiyong hyung without opening my eyes and I fell asleep in hyung embraces that night. 

I woke up this morning, covered with thick blanket and I was on Jiyong hyung lap. I'm shocked that I don't scared looking at him anymore. I love, I miss this scenery

-end of POV-

Seungri then caress Jiyong hyung face gently. And Jiyong slowly, flutter his eyes. Seungri already sit beside him quickly hugged him. He left dumbfounded. 'What's wrong with Seungri? He aren't scared to me at all? Am I dreaming or what?' he thought alone.

"Ri? Are you okay?" 

~Hyungie, Ri missed hyung so much. Ri want to hug Hyung all day long today. Hyung can't go anywhere~ 

"Hyung miss Seungri too. But how can we both just stay here all day. My butt already cramp. Hyung sit here since last night. Besides, you're heavy Ri." Jiyong hyung teased Seungri. 

~Ri, don't care~ while smiling widely.

"Jiyong! Get your lazy ass up and....." Youngbae cut off as he reached the room and saw Seungri hugging Jiyong while smiling and at the same time 

 'Eomma! Is this what you told me before? It works Eomma. It works. Seungri aren't get the panic attack again and maybe his trauma already gone' Youngbae thought, standing at the door edge like a statue. Seungri then turned his face blushing looking at Youngbae hyung. 

~Hyung.... mianhae hyung. Sorry for troubling hyung all these days~ 

"It's okay Ri. We can't blame the fate. Maybe it'll make our boundary closer and stronger right Youngbae hyung?" Jiyong hyung pinched his chubby cheeks. 

"That's right Seungri. Okay now, get up and take your bath. You're so smelly" Youngbae said while pulling him up. And the little one walked his way to the bath room. 

When Jiyong tried to stand up, pain strike right at his waist. Karma attack him since he sleep on the flat floor last night.

"Arghh!" Jiyong groaned while grabbing his waist. and Youngbae hurriedly help him sit on the bed.

"Yah, are you okay? Does it hurt so much?" Jiyong nodded and lie down on the bed

"Okay, wait here. I'll take the oil and help you massage it." Youngbae stormed to downstairs, finding the oil for his twin. 

Seungri that just finished bathing walked out from the bathroom shocked looking at Jiyong hyung that lying on the bed with full of pain written in his face. He slowly walked near hyung and shook him. 

~Hyung? Are you okay? Hyung look sick~

"Hyung okay Ri-ah. Just the pain at my waist" Jiyong grabbed Seungri hand assuring him, he's okay. 

Then, Youngbae reached with oil in his hand. He helped Jiyong massage it slowly. Seungri tears fall without he noticed when he heard Jiyong groaning in pain. That day, Seungri help Jiyong hyung eat by feeding him and not letting his beloved hyung move even an inch. He want to redeem his wrong doing to his hyung before. When Seunghun hyung and Daesung hyung come back home they were on cloud nine seeing all their siblings were in the normal condition loving and caring about each other.
