Chapter Seventy-three (1/2)
Hoshi stops the tram at the next station. He opens the door and the two brothers walk out. They saw the sign saying Seoul. Jun smiles when he sees a faint light coming from the double doors. He looked at his watch to see it's three o'clock the next morning. Today makes the fifth day Dino has been missing. "Look! Muddy footprints." Jun pointed. "Let's try to open the door." He ran up to the doors.
Hoshi smiled when he noticed that the door is only partially bolted. "I'm so hungry," He stated, pulling at the doors with all of his might. "We need to get out of here before I turn into a tiger." He looked at Jun with a crazy smile.Jun swallowed harshly, not really knowing if the hamster is just saying things for fun. He helped pull at the doors and they eventually got out. Running from the subway, they see a town over a hill. They walk to the street.
"There's an ATM in that store, I can get us some money for food." He walked the younger into the store.
Hoshi watched in amazement as Jun pressed many keys on the machine. "Woah.." Is all Hoshi could say.
Jun took out the money and sighed. He bought some food and drinks along with a subway coin for Incheon. They sit down together.
"There was this one time I made fun of Vernon's outfit," Jun noticed Hoshi's still-surprised expression, "Jeong-dad was upset and told Cheol-daddy to punish me." Jun said.
Hoshi bit down on the hamburger. "So Cheol didn't see the point to spank me. He told Jeonghan he did, but in reality, he just made me memorize his bank number." Jun continued before chomping on his spicy noodles. Hoshi nodded and drank some water. "Cheol-dad seems to treat you differently than the rest of us. Like you two are closer.." He commented.
Jun nodded and sighed. "I've never told anyone about this, and I'm sure Cheol didn't either.." Jun started. "When it was Joshua's first birthday party, our parents weren't happy with each other." He said.Hoshi nodded. "I heard they hardly ever spoke to each other.. what was that all about?" He asked.
"They relieved stress on each other and had Woozi like that. That's why Woozi is a crow and not a stork. And I was sad that they weren't getting along." Jun explained. "So I stayed in the attic for most of the party. We cried together." He said.
Hoshi furrowed his eyebrows as he imagined Seungcheol and a baby Jun crying. "I really didn't notice.." He whispered.
"The others were oblivious, but I knew there was something wrong.. but that night, Cheol-daddy and I shared each other's pain." Jun said before standing. "We need to get to our ride. Let's go." Hoshi obeyed and followed the Chinese male. ***
Minghao's teacher cheered when Woobin got the door open. "But we're in GwangJu.." Woobin said, looking around.
"Then we better get to some mining." The teacher said while skipping with a proud smile. Woobin sighed. "Shut up, would you?" He said."Then I guess I won't say I know a friend here that can help us get back to Incheon." The teacher shrugged and put his hands in his pockets.
"And he would be okay with us just dropping by?" Woobin raised an eyebrow.
The teacher shrugged once more. "We're friends like that. You wouldn't know how many times he shows up announced at my house. My wife gets annoyed." He chuckled.
