Frankenstein, The Father Figure
Warmth air breezing through the white curtain in the hospital room, the redhead teenager watching out of the window, longingly for something and he completed lost in thought, not noticing or hearing that a person was already in the room with him.
"Han.."
"Shinwoo.."
"Han Shinwoo!"
A redhead boy name, Han Shinwoo, nearly jumped out of the bed, his wound closed to rip apart, and his hand immediate pressuring it carefully and the pain went away.
Hearing a familiar voice made Shinwoo's heart filled with happiness. "Be careful! Your wound is not healing fully," a scolding and yet caring at the same time. "You have slept in two days. Your friends are worrisome, and they visited yesterday."
"Sorry, I was space out, Principal Lee," rubbing back of his head, awkwardness. "Have my dad been here?" He was tried hard not to get hope up.
Chairman of Ye Ran High School stayed silent, his eyes sadden, and he shook head.
Student of Ye Ran High dropped his head, closed eyes and filling anger in his mind, was yearning to scream out loud and ripping the blanket apart. Afterward, the emotions bottled up him inside, and he masked a smile, "I got stabbed and close to death, but I'm fine. I'm alive. It is matter right?"
Principal Lee frowned and said straightforward, "No, you are not okay. You are holding on emotionally, and it hurts." He knew and saw right through the mask of his face and eyes.
Shinwoo's head snapped up, and his lip trembled, "What are you expect to understand me!" Keeping his yell tone turn down and his nails roughly raked the sheet. "I am stupid! Trying hard to grab my dad's attention by got in fighting, sleeping in the class or dropping grades. So he can come home to scold me or praise me! NO, NO~! He chose his work over me! Even I got stabbed!" He looked away in shame.
He surprised a feeling of the fabric rubbed on his face and the warm embrace wrapped him. Listening blond man's soft, smooth voice whisper close to his ear, "It's ok, let it out." the words were soothing him as petting his hair.
Shinwoo couldn't help to choke a sob onto Chairman Lee's chest, and his hands tugged back of the suit. "Don't tell anyone that I find you as the father figure." Frankenstein rocked back and fronted slowly while holding his student until he fell asleep, a faint smiling, "My child, it will be our secret."
