Chapter 15: Flight (1/2)
[Happy birthday HommieSJ1307 <3 I hope you have a great year ahead :))) ] <u><tt>Chapter 15: Flight</tt></u> <tt>“Have you packed everything? Clothes, money, your identification....Sungmin, baby look after your brother, he tends to wander about and make sure he takes his pills for anemia and and-”</tt>
<tt>Sungmin rolled a ballpoint pen between his fingers and leaned back into his chair with a sigh and spoke into the mouthpiece of the phone,”I know mum, I know.”</tt>
<tt>Just a little more than an hour until Sungmin got out of office- he had to pick up Sungjin from his classes, collect their suitcases and head to the airport for their late night flight with Kyuhyun to Jeju Islands.</tt> <tt>“But Sungminnie!” Sunhee whined making Sungmin chuckle as he imagined his mother with a pout.</tt>
<tt>“I’ll take care of everything, okay? Just relax with Appa- go out on a date, have fun. Sungjin and I shall be there before you know it!” Sungmin assured her soothingly. </tt>
<tt>Donghae suddenly jumped over to Sungmin’s side and shouted, “Mrs.Lee, your son is smoking weed!” </tt><tt>Sungmin shot Donghae a dirty look who was bouncing behind him and he hissed furiously,”Shut up!” </tt> <tt>“Mrs.Lee he has a huge stash of weed right on the desk!” Donghae yelled gleefully escaping from the punches that Sungmin threw in his direction while balancing the phone in the other hand.</tt>
<tt>“Sungmin who’s smoking?” Sunhee asked curiously.</tt> <tt>“NOONE IS!” Sungmin yelled while curling his handkerchief into a small ball and shoving it into Donghae’s mouth before kicking him away.</tt> <tt>“Ming.” Sunhee spoke skeptically.</tt> <tt>Sungmin whooped victoriously at Donghae’s sprawled form on the floor and then exclaimed hurriedly, “Mom, its just Donghae being stupid that’s all. You know how he is.” </tt> <tt>Donghae grimaced and threw away the cloth making sure to give Sungmin a stink eye before speaking sheepishly,”Hi Mrs.Lee.”</tt>
<tt>“Aigoo how is our Donghae doing? And Hyukjae hmm?” Sunhee asked kindly. After a couple of minutes of mindless chattering, Sungmin spoke slowly,”Mom, I’ll call you again when our plane takes off, alright?” </tt>
<tt>Sungmin pursed his lips together as Sunhee rambled again and smiled slightly,” I know mum, I love you too. Say hi to Appa for me?” </tt>
<tt>~~~~</tt>
<tt>Sungjin pouted and grumbled,” I can’t see why I wasn’t allowed to go with Jongjin. He’s allowed to skip four days of school, why can’t I?” </tt> <tt>Sungmin laughed at his younger brother’s incessant whinings,” Because your boyfriend’s brother is getting married. So of course Yesung hyung would want his entire family there. But you won’t be missed at all.” He teased as his brother slouched down further into the seat and pouted more.</tt>
<tt>“Hyung, you’re too mean!”</tt>
<tt>“Be glad you’re having a spring break now, or mom wouldn’t allow you to attend this wedding.” Sungmin stuck out his tongue before stepping on the accelerator peddle. They had just enough time to head back home, collect their already packed suitcases and catch a cab to the airport. </tt> <tt>“Hyung, can I ask you something?” Sungjin spoke in a small voice.</tt> <tt>“Of course Jin, you can tell hyung anything. You know that don’t you?” </tt> <tt>Sungjin twiddled his thumbs about nervously and asked timidly,” What do you think about Jongjin, Sungmin hyung?”</tt>
<tt>“Well he seems like a nice boy.” Sungmin admitted, stopping the car at at redlight signal and turning towards his younger brother. “Do you love him?” </tt>
<tt>“I really do like him but I’m not sure I love him just yet; does that even make sense hyung?” Sungjin mumbled slowly.</tt>
<tt>Sungmin ruffled his brother’s hair gently and smiled,”Perfect sense."</tt> <tt>"Falling in love with someone is a process that you can’t quicken or hurry. In fact the more slowly you go, the more precious it will be. So don’t you worry about that just yet.. You’ll know exactly when you’re in love. It'll hit you like a tonne of bricks, just you see!" </tt> <tt>“Do you think you can fall in love with Kyuhyun hyung?” Sungjin asked solemnly. </tt>
<tt>“I must say Kyuhyun is really nice and I do like him, so maybe? I don’t know Jin. I don’t know.” Sungmin looked straight ahead and stepped on the accelerator again as the signal flashed green.</tt>
<tt>~~~~</tt> <tt>“Passport?” </tt>
<tt>“Check!”</tt>
<tt>“Your medicines?”</tt> <tt>“Check!”</tt> <tt>“Clean underwear?”</tt> <tt>“Hyuuuung.” </tt> <tt>“Alright alright, I was just teasing you.” Sungmin chuckled and swung their suitcases into the trunk of the cab that was waiting at the sidewalk. </tt> <tt>“Sungjin-ah, go sit in the car and wait for hyung? I’ll just lock the door and be with you in a minute. And go ahead and text Kyuhyun that we’re leaving home, alright?” Sungmin mentioned while placing his phone into Sungjin’s palm.</tt> <tt>Sungjin nodded solemnly and as soon as his brother turned his back, a cheeky grin came over his lips. </tt> <tt>He stuck out his tongue and typed out a message, giggling mentally inside all the time. Sure, he wasn’t gonna approve of Kyuhyun so easily. He wasn’t as forgiving as his elder brother but since his hyung seemed to like Kyuhyun a little, he would have to try. And who says he couldn’t have some fun when it came to it?</tt> <tt>Kyuuuhyuuuunieee</tt><tt>Sungjin and I are leaving for the airport, see you soon baby :3</tt> <tt>~~~~</tt> <tt>Kyuhyun flexed his muscles tiredly and sank into the revolving chair, watching as the client nodded to Zhou Mi before taking his leave,” Finally. He’s gone.”</tt>
