Never-ending Dream
[Chapter XII – Insa]
At 08.50 am on June, 5th 2010
Yunho walked as fast as he could, he didn't want to make Yoochun wait him too long. He looked at his watch on his right arm; it was ten to nine am now. He finally arrived at fifth floor of the hospital. He wanted to pick his phone and mantel, and of course he didn't forget to get his motorcycle key. He opened the door on Yoochun's room as he didn't knock on it; he came in a bit hurry.
Yunho walked in and saw nobody there. He looked around as he searched his things; he picked them one by one. He wore his mantel while looking at the mirror, still couldn't believe Yoochun was already awake. He had nothing to worry about anymore; he didn't care about that day's activities. He would come to the manager if he called him. As long as there was no news from him, Yunho would like to go with Yoochun.
Yunho held his key on his right hand while putting his phone on his pocket. He walked to the door in a hurry as he looking down to prepare his key. Yunho started to look in front of him; he suddenly stopped before he could reach the door as he saw someone there. It was Jaejoong.
"Where have you been?"
Jaejoong slowly walked in as he talked to Yunho, glaring at him with his cold eyes. Changmin and Junsu were also walking in as they walked behind Jaejoong, Junsu slowly closed the door as he looked a little down. Yunho was wondering, he was a bit confused as he walked back from them.
"I met with Yoochun at that tree place, I'm going out with him now. I thought you were all at the hotel room."
Yunho slowly walked back as Jaejoong was walking closer towards him, he stared at Jaejoong's cold eyes. He didn't know why Jaejoong was looking at him like that. Changmin was standing right behind Jaejoong now, looking at Yunho a little confused. While Junsu was leaning on the door now, he didn't say anything since then.
Jaejoong suddenly grab Yunho's shirt with his right hand, he kept staring at him as he looked angry now.
"Wha .?"
Yunho was very surprised seeing Jaejoong like that, he was pulled to the front as Jaejoong grab his shirt.
"Don't be kidding me, Yunho."
Jaejoong talked to Yunho as he was angry at him, he looked closer to Yunho's face. Yunho could feel Jaejoong was strongly holding his shirt; he tried to put his hand off him as he slowly touched it. Yunho started to look at Changmin as he was asking him by that. Changmin didn't say anything to Yunho, he tried to pull back Jaejoong away from Yunho as he talked to him.
"Jaejoong-hyung."
Yunho still confused seeing them acting like that as he got no explanation. He looked at Jaejoong and pulled down his hand off from his shirt.
"Look, I don't know what happened but I'm telling you the truth now. Yoochun is waiting for me and I'm in a hurry."
Yunho slowly pulled Jaejoong's hand off him, but Jaejoong suddenly grab his shirt with his both hand. Yunho was moved back as he felt Jaejoong pushed him, Jaejoong shouted at him as he was very angry.
"Stop it, Yunho! Yoochun was dead!"
Yunho suddenly stop blinking while holding Jaejoong's hand, he stared at Jaejoong as he was confused to hear that. He slowly turned his face to Changmin, he seemed very sad as he could only look down. He also looked at Junsu who was started to squat near the door, he closed his face with his both hand.
Yunho felt confused hearing Jaejoong's words; they were too perfect for their act as they wanted to lie to him. Yunho started to pull Jaejoong's hand strongly, he didn't like Jaejoong's words even if that was only a joke.
"Okay then, all of your acting looks good. Just tell me what happened, I don't like your jokes."
Yunho started to look at Jaejoong a little angry, didn't like to see them like that. He just wanted to know the truth, what was really happening. Jaejoong looked at Yunho as he couldn't believe Yunho's words, while Changmin and Junsu were also looking at Yunho now. They were confused as they stared at Yunho.
"I'm not fooling around, U-know Yunho. What the hell was wrong with you?"
Jaejoong talked to Yunho as he sounded so cold to him, didn't know what to do so Yunho could believe him. Junsu started to stand as Changmin was talking to Yunho.
"Yunho-hyung, I know you can't accept Yoochun-hyung's gone. We do feel the same as you, so please don't say something like that."
Yunho started to laugh a little, he still could believe them. He was wondering what they were up to so they could do something like that to him.
"I'm the one who should talk like that to you, what the hell was wrong with you guys? How could I meet with Yoochun while you're saying that he was already dead? You're the one who take him to that place, so stop this conversation already."
Yunho couldn't stand their act anymore, he looked angry now. He just wanted to go to Yoochun's place if there was nothing important, just like their conversation.
Jaejoong just kept staring at Yunho's face, still didn't know what to do and what to say to him. Changmin was also doing the same; he started to massage his head as he was confused. While Junsu started to walk towards them slowly, he talked to Yunho as he tried to explain it to him.
"Yes, we are the one who take him to that place. He said he wanted to go to that big tree. He said he wanted to meet you there. Yoochun-hyung was talking to us even though he could barely breathe. It was his dying wish, hyung!"
Yunho saw Junsu was slowly walked towards him. He couldn't say anything when Junsu was talking like that. It didn't make any senses; Yunho knew he was sleeping right beside Yoochun last night. Suddenly Changmin continued Junsu's words, wanted to make everything straight.
"Yoochun-hyung was conscious once before you came to the hospital, he said that we shouldn't tell you about that. He wanted to make it a secret from you, and we're also talked to the doctor about that."
Changmin kept talking to everyone, but he started to look sadder than before.
"Yoochun-hyung was moved to another place last midnight, hyung. The doctor was trying to awake you, but you didn't make any moves so he left you behind. Yoochun-hyung's condition was getting worse significantly, he needed a quick treatment."
Everyone was still silence as they heard Changmin's words, started to look a little down. Yunho was listening carefully, didn't know how to believe it but he kept listening to him. Changmin started to hold his mouth with his hands, looked like he wanted to cry.
"He kept mentioning your name and that tree. He said he wanted to go to there at that time. He wanted to see it for a last time."
Changmin was crying as he swiped his tears on his cheeks, while Junsu threw his hand on Changmin's shoulder. He tried to calm Changmin even though he was also wanted to cry.
"Yoochun-hyung was still with us when we arrived at that tree, but he couldn't make it back to the hospital. Yoochun-hyung saw the tree for a last time and said he was very sorry for you. He said sorry for making you wait for him, Yunho-hyung."
Changmin closed his face with his hands, couldn't say anything more. Junsu was still holding Changmin's shoulder, slowly started to cry. Jaejoong was looking at Yunho, he could see him confused now. Yunho was remain silent, didn't know what to say and what to do. He couldn't believe it at all, but he knew it couldn't be a lie.
Yunho didn't make any moves as if he was petrified. He looked down while wondering, remembering about Yoochun's words when he finally met him at that place. He remembered Yoochun was smiling at him when he came to that place.
"You came, Yunho-hyung."
Yunho was just still wondering, remembering Yoochun's face when their last kissed. Yoochun looked very sad back then, hugged Yunho very tightly as he didn't want to let him go before he finally went from that place.
"I'm sorry to make you worried, Yunho-hyung. I should have come to you at that night. I should have come to see you here."
Yunho started to look at down painfully, trying to believe everything that was told by Changmin. Everything seemed all make senses now, and Yunho still couldn't believe it.
"Thanks for everything, Yunho-hyung."
Yoochun's voice was still echoing on Yunho's mind. He still couldn't believe if it was Yoochun's last words for him. He still couldn't believe if it was the last time he could talk to Yoochun. He still couldn't believe if it was Yoochun's last smile for him.
Yunho didn't want to believe it.
Yunho could slowly feel his heart was in pain, it was getting stronger as he remembered Yoochun. He was barely breath and held his chest with his left hand, and suddenly dropped his key as his right hand was getting weaker to hold it.
Yunho slowly bent to Jaejoong who was in front of him. He could see everything was getting dark as he closed his eyes. Yunho fell into the floor. He could hear the other member was calling his name, but he could only hear one voice which was still echoing on his head.
"Thanks for everything, Yunho-hyung."
Yunho fell into darkness, thought if it might be only a dream. He was hoping if it was only a dream. Even though it was just a never-ending dream, he would always hope it was a dream.
