Another Winter
the Another Winter 30

RyuJin; hyuji's sister, tells Hyuji to stay strong and live well after the divorce process ends. And also, when bearing the status of single parents for his son later.

No problem, Hyuji is better now. He even breathed a little bit of relief when John sent a message to come to Seoul two weeks ahead to attend the final hearing that will give a decision for the relationship.

Hyuji massaged the calves and shoulders feeling tired, stiff, and sore. Today the store closed faster because it was so crowded. His face is squinting to withstand the pain that arises. Really tired.

The clock was still pointing at the nine-night figure as the crunch in his stomach rang out quite loudly, hungry.

"You hungry, baby?" he rubbed his stomach. "Alright, mom will make kim— fried rice" hyuji's voice stopped instantly, choking together a memory reminiscent of the menu she just mentioned. John's favorite food.

"We changed the menu! How about ramen? Okey! "

Hyuji moved from the sofa to the kitchen. Then prepare all the necessities for cooking ramen. In fact, while waiting for the water in the pot to boil, Hyuji gave thanks again in his heart because John really did not kick him out of the small house. Hyuji's breathing slowly, "I'm sorry if later when you were born, you can't see your father's figure dear! But I promise I'll always tell you how your father is! " hyuji said as he rubbed his stomach again, hoping the baby-to-be would listen as he spoke.

"Your father is a good man!" Hyuji's smile expanded at this moment. "He's also handsome! I also promise, I will show you how your father's face, and I hope you can meet him later even if only in a dream in your sleep! "

A few minutes later, ramen was ready. Hyuji sat down at the small dining table he used to use with John first. Staring at the empty chair in front of him, then smiling as he recalled the image of John's man who used to be always excited when spending the dinner he made.

While his mind was being wrestled by the chaos of the past, the house bell suddenly rang. Hyuji had no intention of paying attention, however, the person out there was pressing the bell in more and more succession.

With a slightly upset mood, Hyuji headed for the intercom and pressed the button violently.

"Neee... "

"Didn't you miss me? "

Damn, the hallucinations are getting less directed. Why in a curfew like this, did he even hallucinate John coming to his house?

Not much to say, to pull over and prove if it was just an illusion, Hyuji walked up to open the main door. However, what he was witnessing right now was far beyond expectations.

How the man he had thought about a few seconds ago now appeared and stood in front of the house.

Hyuji's attentions locked onto the man in a black striped shirt, Jeans pants and red converse shoes. Looking at it from head to toe with lips slightly open and eyes that blink a few times, followed by a slab of disbelief.

The sight made John very nervous. How not? He had missed the woman who was standing before him so much, and when it was real before his eyes, she had a surprised and adorable face. Instantly, his arms stretched out to rub the shoots of Hyuji's head which was still stunned.

"It's me, not a ghost! Why do you see me like that?! "

Almost fainting on the spot, Hyuji tried to open his mouth to ask. "W-how did you get here? "

"Of course get in my car! " turn around and point to the car outside the fence.

Oh my god, Hyuji was eager to embrace the presence to channel his overflowing longing from inside his head. But a bad perception suddenly assaulted Hyuji's brain cells.

"Do you want to kick me out of this house? "

John chuckles. "Gee! Do I look like that?"

"You look scarier than a deputy!"

John laughed out loud at Hyuji's reply.

"Hyu, I just want to see how you are doing because you didn't return my message! "

"So—can I come in!? I'm a guest? "

"There's no story of someone visiting on a night like this! "

"Okay, assume I'm a deplector who's collecting debts because you forgot to pay a debt past the due date! "

Hyuji clucked in annoyance. There's no way he's driving away John who's come all the way from Seoul. Hyuji pulled over, allowing John to enter the house which is also still a common property.

"Thank you! " whispered John as he made it through the door slats while gnawing.

Hyuji closed and locked the door again, then walked closer to John who had first sat on the sofa in the middle room. An irritated and nervous feeling was overpowering Hyuji.

"You know this isn't true, right? We're going our separate ways, but you come to visit at night like this? How will the neighbors think of me?! "

"Of course they think you put a stranger in the house!"

"You know it, but you still do it! Brengs*k!"

"I did it because I missed you Hyu! If I come here while the sun is still overhead, mama will see me go and scatter me with a thousand annoying questions! I hate that!"

"You better get back John! I don't want any more misunderstandings between me and your mother!"

John looked at her straight, then stood up and walked slashing the distance between them which made Hyuji's heart beat like the roar of a war drum.

Throw Hyuji's thin body into a warm embrace, and give some soft kisses to Hyuji's head. While Hyuji, just let both his arms hang in the air with one side of his face leaning against the chest of John's field. Inhaling the aroma that emanated from John's body, the aroma was still the same, fresh and masculine at one time. The chest of the field was also still as solid as the first time Hyuji felt it.

"No, I'm not going to let that happen! Hyu, please live well after this!"

"My life is fine John! "

"You don't look okay! "

Hyuji seemed silent not to override John's statement. Then one arm stretched out hesitatingly to pat John's wide back. Trying to give him peace, because he knew John was screwed up to meet him without thinking long at night like this.

"I'm fine! Don't worry about me! You better think about yourself! You used to say, if you hate going back there, right? Try to accept, and live your life well there! "

Hyuji could currently feel if John tightened his embrace for himself, making Hyuji's lips almost squeal as he was about to run out of breath.

"And—if your mother wants you back on, she, just do it! Since it was the best way to forget about what had happened between me—" suddenly Hyuji's breath choked, he lied to his own feelings who also did not want to lose John's figure. "—and so are you! "[]
