HYUNG! It's Me [#Wattys2019]

Thirteen

"Morning honey" Youngbae interrupted the conversation "Eoh, you wake up early today Ri?!" He smiled

Youngbae takes his seat beside his beloved, one and only maknae. He starred at his side profile.

'It feels like it was only yesterday, you were there comforting that everything will be okay when I lost everything. Please be strong Seungri-ah. I miss your foolish jokes, clingy attitude and your contagious smiles' 

Seungri turned to fave his hyung who was staring at him no even blinking. He looks into his hyung's eyes and he can see the sadness in there.

"Hyung...?" Seungri let out in a soft tone, making the elder collect himself from drowning in his daydream. 

"Hmm?" 

"Are you okay?" 

"Uh, ne ne. I'm okay" Youngbae stretch out his hand and hold Seungri's chubby hands "Your hands so cold... fever again?" 

"Ani..." 

"Don't lie. You're terribly worst in lying" the elder added while touching his cheeks and forehead. 

"Finish your breakfast and eat this. I don't want your fever to get worsen okay?!" Hyorin pushed the medicine cup near his glass. 

"Gomawo noona" he returned with a smile. 

"Arraseo! Cutie maknae," she laughed pinching his nose. "Yeobo, I'll drop by the supermarket before coming home later neh. Need to restore the fridge since our panda here already started to eat almost all the time" Hyorin throw a silly smile 

"Want me to pick you up later?" 

"It's okay. I'll go by myself. Don't worry too much okay?!"

After finished his breakfast, Seungri helped Hyorin clean the kitchen as she's in a hurry to go work. He saw his hyung send off his wife, a short but warm hug and sweet peck on her lips 

"Yeobo, Seungri is here. behave." Hyorin said slow but still can be heard because the door hallway echoed the sound till it can be heard to the kitchen. 

Seungri wipes off his hand and slowly walk towards the couch and heard Youngbae was speaking on the phone, he knows that the guys on the line are his Jiyong clingy hyung. A few moments later, his hyung joined him there watching the tv series shown on tv. 

"Jiyong is coming with one of my friends back then when I was in college" he uttered and Seungri only nodded. He doesn't want to know who. It's very hard to hear his soft and sweet voice since that terrible moment. Youngbae knows he couldn't do anything, hmm erase that. He can do something but he just can't see his little one in pain. So just let his dongsaeng heal as time passed by. Tbh, he doesn't care if it'll take a year? two or three more. He can't bear to see him in pain. Youngbae is too immerse with the show. After almost half an hour,

"Hyung, I'm going out for a while," Ri said slow almost can't be heard

"Where are you going? It's cold outside and you still have fever" 

"Just a moment, I won't take a long time. Just a walk to the store across the road" he said wearing the thick jacket. 

"I'll go with you."

"Ah... ani hyung. It's okay. You said Jiyong hyung is coming. What if he arrives later?" 

"Neh, arrasseo. Take care and come back fast" he pats the younger's head 

Youngbae feels it's weird because its been months, Ri didn't go out ALONE by himself. And he shrugged the thoughts by thinking maybe he needs to give space to let the boy recover from his sickness. Seungri walked out from the apartment lobby and walks freely towards the store. He climbed up the trail to cross the road safely and walk down at the other side of the road. Of course, he needs to use it since its a capital road and a busy one. Slowly he pushed the door and walks in the store, greeted by the friendly cashier. He strolls around the shop for almost 5 minutes before grabs his favourite strawberry milk and walks toward the cashier BUT, he saw a "familiar" guy who paid his stuff standing in front of the cashier.
