_”Hello”
Yoochun’s commercial greet changed into a warm one when he noticed me. I was so happy to see him in good condition. He was wearing a white collar T-shirt, which made him look like a real high school student.
_”Hey, how you been?”- I asked
_”I’m fine. Thanks”
_”I brought the Industry Project homework for you”- I gave exercise papers for him
_”Oh, thank you. It’s very kind of you”- Yoochun said with his gratitude
_”How is your grandma?”- I hesitated to ask
_”She’s fine. But they still keep her in the hospital for further check”
It sounded nice, and I felt good for her. I walked to the desk where he was standing. He was in the process of a jigsaw puzzle. I saw a picture of an ancient ship broken into thousands of pieces
_”You like it?”- I found another hobby of him, besides composing
_”Yeah. I got a collection of puzzle”- He nodded-“When I finish, I use glue to stick them together and then hang on the wall”
_”Wow, that’s cool. I’ve never done like this before. When I finish a puzzle, I tear it apart again. You know, I don’t get a lot of difficulties in the second play”
_”Really?”- He laughed-“I think it’s so great when things perfectly match and finally stick with others”
I felt a little heartbreaking when hearing him saying like this. He believed in a long lasting relationship, like glue. Maybe it was so hard for him to break up with somebody else, I meant, his girlfriend
_”Here, for you”- Yoochun gave me a lollipop to cheer me up
_”Do I need to pay?”- I winked an eye, teasing him
_”Yes, you do”- He teased me back
Then he playfully touched me with his elbow, suddenly I felt the temperature inside me increased significantly, it was like my blood was not flowing but concentrating on one point.
_”Hello”
Yoochun greeted his guest, a small little kid with his old and dress. She walked around the store and finally chose a bar of chocolate. Then she came to Yooshun’s desk to pay for it
_”Total $3, please”- Yoochun said to the kid
_”Oh, I thought it was $2”
She became so down. There was still $1 remaining. Anyway, she didn’t have enough money. Nothing could be done, except for giving back the chocolate bar
_”Hey”
Yoochun shouted when she almost went out of the store. He finally caught up with the kid.
_”Keep it”-He put the chocolate bar to the kid
_”But I don’t have money to pay you back”- The kid looked surprised
_”Next time, bring me your A+ grade and I will consider cancelling your debt”
Yoochun pretended to think hard about his exchange with her. Of course, the kid was so delighted to have the chocolate and she gave Yoochun a popo on his cheek
If Yunho was there, he would say like:”Your business will definitely go bankrupt” but there was nothing we could do. A heartwarming Yoochun would act that way and that was why I loved him
Yoochun was too good to be true. He was willing to help everybody. For the rest of the day, we helped an old lady carry her stuff which she bought in Yoochun’s grocery store to her house. When we came back, my legs rarely moved
_”Wow. My legs ache”- I did some massages to these parts
_”It’s late in the afternoon. Let me close the store and we can rest in my room”- He suggested
There were two rooms in upper stairs. I guessed one for his grandma and one for him. That was true when he revealed that he spent his childhood living with his grandma. That was why he got a value morality and pure soul like water. I meant, he was a softie at heart. His room was so him. Particularly, it was clean and full of puzzle pictures hung on the wall.
_”Wow, I can sleep here for a whole day”- I said when lying on his bed
_”Oh, you can”- Yoochun smiled comfortably but it wasn’t the right thing to say with him like this. I meant, so rude of a stranger like me.
As he lied down next to me, my heartbeat began faster. There was some drawing stuck on the wall. It could be his work in the elementary school. Suddenly, I became curious on how he looked during those days
_” Do you have any nicknames?”- I asked a random question
_”Can you guess?”- Yoochun said jokingly, putting arms over his head
_”Yoyo”- I laughed
_”No”- He burst out with laughter – “When I was young, I got a big front teeth. My mother called me Micky”
_”For real?”
I just couldn’t hold my laughter. It was not because it was a funny name, it was coincidence…
_”Yunho likes to create nicknames for anybody he knows, Lola Bunny for Siwon, Jessica Rabbit for Heechul and he calls me Minnie. You know, Micky and Minnie, a mouse couple”
Ooops. I was wrong again. All I could do was covering my moth with hands. How could I be so careless? Yoochun already got a girlfriend, a famous one too. But Yoochun seemed to enjoy my joke and didn’t take it too seriously… but I was completely embarrassed
_”Do I get a nickname from Yunho?”- His eyes showed curiosity
_”Uh…well…Mojo Jojo”
_”What?”- Yoochun looked surprised-“Mojo Jojo? The antagonist in Powerpuff Girls?”
_”Yeah”
_”Do I look like a monkey?”- He burst into laugh
_”No, no, he meant that you are really smart, like Mojo Jojo. You know, he’s the smartest in the series”- I tried to explain
_”No, I like him. Mojo Jojo is my favourite character in Powerpuff Girls”
Yoochun always made people around him feel comfortable. Seeing him smile like this, I swore even if I died tomorrow, I would feel no regret
_”Has Min Young been here?”- I hesitated
_”No, she hasn’t”- He shook his head-“You are the first guest to come here”
Suddenly, I ran out of words again. We didn’t say much, then I began to feel sleepy
_”Just take a rest, you’re tired the whole day”
Yoochun’s warm voice was just like a lullaby. I leaned a bit over him, and he took me to his lap. His body was warm and dependable. Then I put my arms over his wide back, feeling his fresh sweat and youthful heartbeat. Regardless of his clothes on, his skin was still smooth like silk. The atmosphere was filled with natural warmth
_”Hey Changmin…”- He whispered my name, tenderly touching my hair
_”Huh?”
_”Do you think it’s wrong to stop loving a person and begin having feeling for another one?”
_”It’s totally legal”- I said, feeling deadly sleepy
_”It’s legal but not the right thing to do…”- He sighed
_”I don’t know. Sometimes we can’t control our feeling, so we can’t judge whether it’s ethic or not”-I looked at him
_”Yeah, you’re right”- He smiled- “Just go back to sleep”
Then I felt he was pulling me tightly as if we were warming each other. In his arm, I was totally protected. It was totally ridiculous that just last night, I made love with Yunho and now I was in Yoochun’s arms. But I was glad that it didn’t bother me much. Then I softly fell asleep, hearing the wind bell vibrating and Yoochun’s constant breath on me in a shining and quiet afternoon. It was meant for me. There was nothing I asked for more. I swore…
