The Enigma & White Rose

18 By your side

Changmin sitted at the table , doing given worksheets .He was attending the dentention and it was about to end in another minute or two .

"Please hand in your work ,"Mr Kim alouded as Changmin stood up , gave Mr Kim the papers .Mr Kim nodded satisfied with the work after scanning throught them .

"Don't get into fights anymore ,"Mr Kim adviced as Changmin nodded .Jin Han quietly eyed Changmin but Changmin just left with his bag .

Closed the door gently and there as promised was Younghoon .A at table in the nearest class .Arms folded acting as a relaxing head pillow .Younghoon focused on Changmin , silently .

"Let's go ,"Changmin called out for Younghoon .Younghoon got up , hung his bag over his shoulder and left with Changmin .

After lines of paces , there arrived at the school entrance .

"Ya ,"a voice called out loudly .

Changmin turned back as Younghoon did the same to see Lyla's sister , standing tall with some sort of unhappy face .

"Do you know where Lyla is ?"she questioned .

"I'm sorry but I don't know ,"Changmin replied kindly and straight forward .

"I called her so many times but she didn't gave a single reply ,"Lyla sister urged ."Tell her to come home this instant or I'll erupt ,"Lyla sister warned as Changmin nodded .

Lyla's sister left fustrated as the two boys glanced at each other .

***
Changmin was at the bed cuddling up his little teddy bear as he wrigled his nose .He was exhausted after running 10 rounds during physical education period and having himself attended at detention .The day were filled with stacks of untouched chapters and work , piled up at the boy's study desk .He hadn't pratice his sketching for the past few days and his latest idea was left pending in his memory .

She had his eyes shut to rest as the air hit against his body , filling dents into his shirt .Younghoon entered the room and had himself settled quietly at the table after having the chair lifted .He reached out for a book in his unzipped bag and flipped to a page .He went through the first few printed lines and soon he felt bored .

He turned to Changmin as he observed every tiny detail of Changmin at sleep .His lips were rose red , nose was sharp and veins popped out from his wrist .His chest expanded with every breath and hair blown with the produced air from the air conditioner .

He grinned as he slowly got off his chair .Approaching sleepy Changmin with small and gently steps for he didn't wanted to have the sleepy child's beauty sleep destroyed .

Younghoon touched a strain of hair .It few smooth and silky .He slided his hand to Changmin's cheeck .Pressing it with little pressure .It felt smooth and soft .

Younghoon removed his hand and then laid down beside Changmin as he intriguingly admired the sight of Changmin's sleeping face .

Suddenly the doorbell rang , destroying the sweet moment .Younghoon slowly got out as he tiptoed across the floor .Out the wooden door he went and into the living room , approaching for the front door .He took a little peek and there stood Lyla , shaking .Her hair in a mess and her uniform covered with dirt and dust .

Younghoon opened the door as messy Lyla stumbled in , flung her school bag to the ground and untied her hair , stomped to her room , reached out for some clothes and into the shower she went .Younghoon closed the door softly behind as he settled Lyla's bag in her room .He silently entered the kitchen as he busily chopped onto washed carrots .Slicing them .He peeled of the skin of an onion as tears leaked out his eyes a little .He flicked his hands at his eyes having the effect to settle down .

Changmin awaken .He stretched his arms as he took in deep breaths .He placed his teddy bear by the side .He pushed the blanket aside as he got out of bed .He headed out his room to the table when just in time , Younghoon stood there with a pot carried in his snuggled gloves .He gently place the hot pot at the table as Changmin smelled the piquant aroma that fluttered to his nostrils .

"Smell good ,"Changmin commented as he shifted the cover of the pot .Inside was cooked sliced chicken , steamed carrots with potatoes , sliced onions and soup .

Lyla came out of the shower , fully dressed in a comfortable top tank and ironed short jeans .She quickly gotten into position , selected a bowl and had the bowl filled with the food .She munched on it as Changmin did the same .

"How is it ?"Younghoon questioned , hopping for some good comments .

"Delicious ,"Changmin remarked as he chewed on the chicken .

"This surely is good enough for my grumbling stomach ,"Lyla stated the others giggled happily .
