Broken Vow - Part 6 (1/2)

"Sungmin, it's Parkinson's disease. I'll be suffering forever."

"Kyuhyun, please don't say that. Kyu, you'll be okay. You'll heal. I... I'll help you."

"I won't, Min. I won't."

"I love you, Kyuhyun. I don't want to see you suffer. Please, please don't lose hope."

"I... I'm just telling you a fact, and... I love you too."

He saw the despair in Sungmin's eyes. He saw the fear, the hopelessness in every teardrop. He wanted to see something more, but there was none. He wanted to know what was going on inside Sungmin but he didn't tell him. They weren't able to talk, understand each other. The next time he woke up at the hospital, Sungmin left, telling them he can't do it anymore. He just vanished, Kyuhyun don't know where, and unfortunately, he was not able to do anything.

“You cannot possibly stop him.” Ryeowook whined as he tucked Kyuhyun like a helpless baby to bed.

It was actually fun, him and Jongwoon finally got out together. He had left his phone for Kyuhyun, just in case anything comes up. The younger though, only texted them with “enjoy” and that was enough to ensure him that everything’s okay... or so he thought. The sight of his cell phone lying on the carpeted floor when they arrived home had immediately called for panic. The couple had to race to Kyuhyun’s room to check on the magnae. Jongwoon was immediately at his side, checking if there was anything irregular. His sigh of relief was enough for Ryeowook to calm down.

Unfortunately, their peace halted when Ryeowook scanned through his phone, a message flashing through its small screen. He furrowed his eyebrows as he re-read the words.

Now, they had been arguing on what to do, call the person or completely ignore. They had been arguing beside Kyuhyun, whispering their notions onto each other.

“Kyuhyun would have called him!” Ryeowook reasoned out. “He would want to know why Sungmin texted at least.”

“Did he?” Jongwoon countered, massaging his nape. “If Kyuhyun wanted to know, he should’ve done so earlier before he slept. We wouldn’t be finding your phone lying on the carpet!”

“He must’ve been shocked! Who wouldn’t? And he was afraid that he’ll get tremors again, and so he chose to sleep, until we’re finally here. Jongwoon, you know Kyuhyun more than that!”

Jongwoon shook his head as the younger man walked out of the room, punching the small buttons of his phone, furrowing his eyebrows he followed the younger. “Ryeowook, what are you doing?” They were at the kitchen now, he had slightly rose his voice.

“I’m texting Sungmin and asking him why he called…” he looked up before sending the message and proceeding to return the call “I’m gonna tell him how Kyuhyun needs him so much.”

"As if we haven't told him that." Jongwoon rolled his eyes.

No answer. For all his calls and even his messages, Sungmin did not respond. Ryeowook placed the phone down and sat beside Jongwoon, his lover is pissed and had not talked since he started contacting Sungmin.

“There must be a reason, Jongwoon.” He said silently. “Sungmin is still Sungmin and he is still Kyuhyun’s husband. He might have ran away when Kyuhyun needed him the most but…”
