Chapter 3: Jonghyun



When he first saw a boy crouching down in the garden, picking up some flowers, little Jonghyun felt his heart beat so fast. He didn’t know who that boy was but Jonghyun had a weak spot for an adorable boy.

His cousin Taemin was the example.

But now Jonghyun met someone so pretty yet cute, he didn’t have any choice rather than acting all arrogant. He was also so arrogant when Taemin first was born. He had the tendency to act like that, Jonghyun didn’t even know why.

He had pushed the boy down, having this urge to see his face clearer. When he had seen it, Jonghyun held back his breath. The boy was glaring at him with so much confusion as to why a stranger pushed him down.

And then when he cried, Jonghyun almost squealed at how cute he looked. He only wanted to tease him a bit, but who knew that the boy was such a crybaby, crying so fast and not to mention hard as well. But, seriously, his crying face was so cute.

They grew up together, hands held tightly as they explored the Lee’s mansion with so much curiosity. Jonghyun liked Kibum more than he liked his other friends.

Jinki was the big hyung that Jonghyun would always love and proud to have. Taemin would always be the cutest youngest forever. Minho would always be his rival in every game. But, Kibum... he would always be Jonghyun’s favorite person. Forever.

Love. What was true love?

Jonghyun was debating with himself. He kept on doing that. He fell for Kibum from the very first time he saw him between those pretty flowers. No matter how shining and pretty those flowers were, Kibum would always be the center of his attention.

When Kibum lost his mother, Jonghyun cried along with him. He might let Jinki hugged him to sleep, but Jonghyun was always staying behind him, watching him for his every movement.

Now Kibum was twenty years old. Jonghyun would always wonder how Kibum managed to grow up this pretty. Even more pretty that every girl in his university before or in the office he was starting to work.

Jonghyun, together with their other friends, liked the time they shared at Kibum’ place. They all were suffocated in that luxurious house, where they were supposed to act all perfect and had the best from others. Only when they were at Kibum’s place could they act freely. Kibum brought up a special feeling for them ever since they first met him.

They were still planning a great birthday party for Kibum. His birthday party would be in two months and they wanted the best for Kibum. Kibum was, however, the person that brought light to their life.

Jonghyun just texted Jinki that afternoon, asking where he was right now since Jonghyun wanted to escape from his work. The papers were too many for him to read and he decided to take a break. It was weird for Jinki to not reply to his message since that kid was like having the loudest ringtone for his phone. When they asked him about his loud ringtone, he just simply smiled and told them that he would always act fast if the four of them were in problem and called him for help.

Jonghyun could never stop admiring his hyung.

But today was different. Jinki didn’t reply to his text message yet when Jonghyun tried to call him, he couldn’t reach him.

Jonghyun got into his car, calling his favorite person, Kibum. The call was answered so fast, that Jonghyun was taken aback.

“Bum—”

“J-J-Jonghyun!!! J-Jinki h-hyung!! H-He i-is... I-I don’t k-know wh-what h-happened b-b-but—”

“Kibum! Kibum, what’s wrong?” Jonghyun grew panic as he heard sobbing along Kibum’s scared voice, starting his car. His heart dropped down; there was nothing wrong, right?

“I-I w-w-was talking t-to J-Jinki h-hyung wh-when t-there was a loud c-crash! Ji-Jinkihyung he—the call w-was ended a-and he didn’t a-answer to any of my c-call—”

Jonghyun couldn’t understand what Kibum was saying but he drove faster to Kibum’s place, trespassing the traffic light. He would ignore it for now, Kibum was way more important to him.

The journey to Kibum was so long that Jonghyun was calming the boy down through the phone. Kibum was crying, his words were jumbled in mess and Jonghyun could only hear the words Jinki, Jinki, Jinki, and crash.

Jinki. Crash.

Jonghyun ran out from his car, slamming the door open only to find Kibum hugging his knees on the corner of the room. The boy was crying so hard, the tears mercilessly running down his pretty face.

“Kibum! Kibum!” shouted Jonghyun in panic, hands grabbing onto the younger boy’s shoulder. Kibum lifted his head up, staring at Jonghyun through his blurred eyes, trembling lower lip trapped between his teeth.

“J-Jonghyun h-hyung—”

“Kibum, look at me!!! What happened? Baby, please, look at me!”

Kibum had his eyes blank; Jonghyun was so scared to see him like this. The boy in his arms trembled, loud cry breaking out between his lips.

“J-Jinki hyung! I-I don’t know what h-happened but we were on phone—a-and then we were still t-t-talking, I d-don’t know but h-he—the phone was e-ended a-and he—the sound was so l-loud, i-it was like—e-explosion!!!”

Jonghyun was having a hard time to digest all of the information and he quickly hugged the still crying younger male. He fished out his phone; trying to find out where Jinki was through the GPS. It was one of Jinki’s messages before: do not ever turn off your GPS.

“B-Bummie, hey, look at me. Stop crying, okay? W-We are going to Jinki hyung right now and he will be alright, okay?” It was like more to convince himself rather than for Kibum. Jonghyun was so scared, so panic, the thought of losing his hyung was on the edge of that, his mind was messy from every sound.

Kibum nodded, his trembling body didn’t help to calm him down. Jonghyun hissed as he saw that Jinki’s GPS was a bit far from where they were. He cradled Kibum in his arms, running out from the house to his car.

“We are going to Jinki hyung now, so I need you to calm down, Kibum. Okay? Do you hear me?” Jonghyun was never a good person to calm someone. He couldn’t even calm himself but he should try or Kibum wouldn’t be able to breathe from his loud crying.

He just hoped that Jinki was alright.



They arrived at where Jinki’s GPS was and Jonghyun gripped onto the steering wheel as he saw the sight of police cars and ambulance. Kibum trembled, his eyes catching the sight of Jinki’s smashed car down the hill. Jonghyun quickly got down, shouting to Kibum to stay in the car as he made his way to ambulance.

With a thin hope, Jonghyun prayed that it was not Jinki.

The ambulance’s doors were closed as soon as he arrived in front of it, but the slight glimpse was enough to tell Jonghyun’s mind that it was indeed Jinki. A palm flew up to cover his mouth; Jonghyun tremblingly took steps backwards to the car. He had to follow the ambulance.

“J-Jonghyun—”

“L-Let’s go,” he cut Kibum, driving his car fast enough to follow the ambulance. A tear rolled down his cheek, Jonghyun groaned. He hit the steering wheel, feeling Kibum’s gaze on him but he couldn’t hold himself back.

From all of them, why Jinki?



They waited in front of the emergency room. The operation took time so long that Jonghyun kept on staring at the door. He just prayed that Jinki was alright.

He called Minho about this before, telling him about the bad news. He just couldn’t imagine how Taemin would react to the news of his brother in the car accident.

Kibum was still crying, crouching down on the corner of the hallway, mumbling the continuous ‘my fault’ again and again. Jonghyun had tried to stop him, to make him sit up but he refused to. Kibum was still doing that and Jonghyun couldn’t do anything about it.

Taemin ran from the hallway, tears streaming down his face with Minho running behind him, face as pale as his. The youngest asked him about what happened; Jonghyun could only shake his head. Taemin’s eyes caught the sight of Kibum crying in the corner and he ran up to him, hugging him and they cried together.

Minho tried to ask him more detail but Jonghyun couldn’t give him any. He also didn’t know the detail.

Kibum kept on saying that it was his fault, pushing Taemin away guiltily since he made his brother got into an accident. He said that if he hadn’t called Jinki while he was driving then this wouldn’t happen. Taemin ignored his pushing, hugging him and cried just as loud as Kibum.

The Lee family came, their face blank as they stopped in front of the emergency room. Taemin looked up to find his mother staring down at the two of them. She pulled Kibum up and hit him across his face, telling him that the investigator said the last call on Jinki’s phone was from him, and he was the cause of Jinki’s accident.

Jonghyun ran up to him, hugging Kibum close to his chest as he felt the younger boy trembled in his arms. Taemin held his mother back, saying that this was not the right time to judge him like this.

The door to the operation room was opened and the doctor came out, telling them that they had tried their best, fixing all the broken bones and said that Jinki was still in coma. They were allowed to see him once he was moved into a new room.

Kibum refused to enter the room, saying that he was the one caused that and he would only bring bad luck for them. He stayed outside even though all of them, except for the Lee family, had tried to talk to him.

Jonghyun stared at unconscious Jinki before he made his way out from the room. He couldn’t let Kibum stay alone. He heard the Lee family talked into the phone, saying, “Grab him and beat him up.”

He frowned at the cold voice and got out. But then he saw that Kibum was not outside. Where? There were a few men taking someone away and that someone was so familiar to Jonghyun.

Kibum.

He ran after them, connecting those men with the words spilled from Mrs. Lee’s mouth. Kibum was in danger.



He drove his car, trying to follow the black van before finally he lost the direction. With heavy heart, Jonghyun tried to find Kibum through the GPS and found that he was brought to a very far place. His phone went off, a call from Taemin and he answered to the youngest’s question as to where he was. He could only answer Kibum, danger, and your mom’s order. Taemin was smart; he could connect the dots by himself.

Jonghyun quickly got there, hearing the familiar screams of Kibum inside one empty warehouse. He ran inside, pushing all the men and looked at Kibum beaten up, lying weakly on the ground. The men looked at him, threatening him to move away or he would get beaten up as well.

He fought with them, only to be hit down by them. He saw that they were making their way to Kibum and he ran to him, covering him from the hits and punches and kicks. He heard Kibum’s cries, telling him to move away and stopped doing that.

But then Jonghyun whispered, “Never.”

A certain strong hit from the metal they had hit his head and Jonghyun heard Kibum’s loud scream before he collapsed; the sight of crying Kibum blurred in his eyes.
