Un-beta
Chapter 37
Changmin sat in the living he had come home from the hospital…. Three days after he had awoken from his car accident… he had come to realized he couldn't make sense of anything. Every time he looked at his parents he couldn't help but ask, Was it all real? He tried to ask his parents a number of times. But end up keeping his mouth shut… he thought… If his mother was already in his life, then there was no reason to go back in time….
"Oppa….
He began to bang his head.. he couldn't tell what was real anymore…
"O-oppa!" a squeaky little voice called again. Jiyool began to pull her brothers arms, bringing him back from his thoughts. Changmin finally looked to the little girl.
"Yes… Sorry Jiyool what is it?" Changmin asked…
"Kibum Oppa is at the door. Jijool can't reach the handel…." She told him. Changmin jump up from his spot and open the front door.. His arm swung around Kibum making him fall to the ground with a thump.
"Ouch….Changmin get off me…." His friend told him.. Changmin didn't he held on to Kibum tightly… , "Changmin?"
"You don't know how much I missed you." Changmin told him.
'You only like seen me last Friday…before your had your little joy ride with your father and uncle, it only been a week," he told him. That another thing Changmin couldn't make sense of it he had spent months in the past. But in the future only a week had past.
"It feels like months," he told him….
"Changmin not that I don't appreciate the hug…. But can't we go somewhere more private" Changmin lean up off him and turned around to the door, To see his little sister smiling and giggling at him….
"Come on, we can go up to my room!" Changmin told him getting up off the ground and walking passed his little sister…. Kibum close behind him…
"Where's your Umma?" Kimbum asked as he followed Changmin up the stair to his room.
"Resting….Karam had him up all night," Changmin told him
"O….
"Kibum… I need to ask you something?"
"What? Ask away…..?" Kibum said as he sat on Changmin bed.
"Promise me you won't think I'm crazy…." He pleaded…. Kibum looked his over….
"I won't know if you're crazy until you tell me?" he told Changmin laughing
"KIBUM….." Changmin shouted.
"What?" he played innocest…, " Awh for god sake just tell me."
Changmin spilled everything...from the very beginning. About what he remember about his mother not being in his future and how he returned to the past to save him. And about him changing the past until the very last detail… Kibum stared at him the whole time. Whole Changmin continued his story.
"So why don't you asked… them? What's the worst that could happen?
"Correct me if I wrong, but what were the first words out of your mouth when i told you like three second ago?" Changmin replied.
"You're crazy!" Kibum said point blankly…
"KIBUM….!
"What? Why are you so surprised? I always thought you were crazy, so that nothing new to me, "Kibum laughed…. Changmin attacked him on the bed… tickling him… Kibum squormed on the bed. beeging for Changmin to stop.
"YAH….YAH!...". Changmin stopped… Allowing Kibum to sit back up.
"Look Changmin they only thing you can do is ask them?… the worst they will think is you made up a very interesting story or think you're crazy and send you to a mental asylum." Changmin tried to hit him, But Kibum was too fast for him, "I think the person you really need to be asking is your mother. And sooner rather than later. You'll only stress out more…. If you let it linger on your mind. Then maybe you'll go morecrazy… and you're already crazy enough for my liking."
"I swear I'll hit you?" Changmin said… making another swing attempt at Kibum, Kibum shrugged his shoulders and muttered back
"I'll only hit you back!" Kimbum said lovinly
"God Kibum you can be so frustrating sometime…." Changmin told him…
"That really hurts Changmin," Kibum mocked him,
"See frustrating!"
"But isn't that why you like me," Kibum kissed Changmin lips… before saying… "I got to go… I only came to see if you were still alive…. Call us after you talk to your mother… and you can tell me if you're crazy or not." Changmin through his pillow at Kibum who had already made it out the door, Kibum opened it back up again and said….. "You missed…But if your cray i'll still love you ." Before he closed the door and ran down the stairs… before Changmin even make it out of his door.
Changmin stood outside his mother room… contemplating on what to say. He had to start somewhere… he took a deep breath and knocked on the door before walking in….he followed his eye to his mother cooing over the baby in the bassinet Jaejoong turned and smiled at Changmin as he walked in…..
Changmin sat on the bed looking into the crib with his mother… it wasn't long until Jaejoong looked at him and asked, "Something wrong Minnie?"
Changmin shook his head and continued to look into the crib to the baby… "Do you think he's cute?" Jae asked….
"He looks a lot like you Umma…." Changmin told his mother. Jae smile….
"You think… I think he looks more like your Father" Jae told him…. , " I thought you looked a lot more like me when you were born…." Jae told him as he waved a small bear in front of the baby.
"Did I?" Changmin asked…..
"Yeah you were an adorable baby….?" Jae told him. Jae handed him the bear as he went over to his closet and took out a box… with the name Changmin on it….
"Umma what's that…..?" Changmin asked…
"O this is my keepsakes… from the minute you were born….he opened it up and held up a baby hospital band…. And showed it to Changmin. Before reaching in and pulling out a photo album. These are your baby pictures… he held it open for Changmin to see…. 'See you were an adorable baby…." Changmin looked up for the book to his mother…
"Umma….!"
"Yumm…. What is it Minnie?" Changmin looked down. When his mother looked at him. "Changmin?"
"It nothing….!" Changmin flick through the pages… he stopped at one and looked up to his mother was back in the closet removing more boxes… Changmin noticed one had his sister's name on it… and a new one that had his baby brother's name in it…. But Jae reach in further… pulling out two other boxes staring at one of them cautiously before bringing them over and placing them on the bed… Jae left them closed and waited Until Changmin eyes reached his….
"Changmin is there something you want to ask me?" He asked….
"U-Umma? Changmin didn't know what to say. Or even how to say it, " Umma….Jaejoong stopped him….
"Is it that hard to ask me Minnie…? You don't know how long I've waited for this day… Changmin just stared at his mother as he opened another box and took out a small album and handed it to Changmin…
Changmin took it and open it cautiously he came to an image of himself ….. And stuttered…., "I-it w-was r-real? Jae looked at him with tears in his eyes….
"Changmin…..if it wasn't for you ….I probably wouldn't be here!" Jae reached over and pulled his son into his tight hold. " You don't know how long I've wait… how worried I was when I woke up and you were gone… And no one remember you!"
'What! Changmin pulled back… 'No one remembers?"
"No… I don't know why…. But every time I asked about you… the didn't know or understand me.. They keep telling me you were in the Nic-u.. they kept thinking I was talking about the baby you not the 15 year old you.. Each day sense you turn 15… I've been waiting…. For you to come talk to me, and ask me if it was real…. It was Changmin it was real. You really did come back and save me….. "Jae cried…. Changmin held onto his mother… feeling his warmth, just like he did back then…
'Umma….. I'm sorry… I wasn't there when you woke up?" Changmin cried….
Jaejoong patted his back. "It not your fault… I was hoping you made it back to your time safely. I always wanted to talk to someone about it but no one remember… not even your father….
"Why Though…." Changmin asked.. Why do you only remember?"
"I don't know baby…. maybe because I wasn't in this time before…. But I'm really glad.. I thought I wasn't going to get the chance to watch you grow up… he thought back to his memories… " You were such a happy baby!" Jae told him everything he remembers from the time…. He woke up. Showing Changmin the picture he took of him on his first day of school in the past to the present ones…. it wasn't until Changmin heard the door open that he hid the book behind his back. His father walked in with Jijool in his arms….
'"O look Jiyool everyone's in mummy and daddy room…" he place her on the bed and kissed his wife… , "Watch you doing? He asked….
"O just looking at old baby photo.. " he smiled to his husband.. Who took up on of the baby book…
"Changmin you were a really small baby…." Yunho told him…
"Yunnie he was a month early of course he was small." He told his husband… they looked at all the photos as a family. The laughed they smiled remembering funny moment… until Karam began to cry. Jae pick him up… he could tell his baby was hungry… he brought the baby down stairs to get him a bottle while Yunho and Changmin packed the boxes away and Changmin put them back apart from one Yunho was looking at… he brought the box downstairs to Jae. who was already feeding the baby in a rocking chair…..
"Boo what's this? He asked… Jae looked up…
"I don't know…. I forgot it was even their.." he told his husband…. , "I didn't open it.. because I didn't know who the sender was."
"Do you want me to open it?" he asked Jae didn't answer he wasn't sure… Yunho didn't wait he opened it up, just as Changmin and Jiyool walked in. Yunho stared into the box…..
"What is it Yunnie." Jae asked.. Yunho walked over to Jae and held it out for Jae to take….
"Wings?" Jae looked into the boxes. He took them out and reached for thr note in this box and read it
Ever new day,
Is another chance?
It's another time to try something new
To live your life…
Jae looked over to Changmin, and smiled… and handed him the box and the note he read it to himself before looking back at his mother, it was right, this was their chance to be together. And he was not going to miss a moment more on it. This was his family; this was his chance in life that he wanted…. To live
