SUNGMIN POV (FLASHBACK)
I don't know where they are coming from but I can hear screams. They seem like they are all around me but my ears are ringing too much for me to be sure.
Opening my eyes I cry out at the sudden burning sensation that takes over my body and fills my mind with pain. I slam my eyes shut again, trying to make the pain stop but nothing helps. The pain is still there burning at every part of me.
I feel myself lying on something hard, water dripping on me burning where ever it touches. I can hear people around me, working, calling out things in a panic as they run around doing things.
I try to call out to them but the water burns my throat as it trickles down to my stomach. All that my voice produces is a muffled gargle.
Suddenly I hear my phone go off with the ring tone for Donghae when he texts me.
My phone, set up so that it automatically read the text out loud when I was driving, begins to read the message to me.
"Friday June eighteenth two thousand eleven, seven fourteen AM. Message from, Donghae," the automated voice reads out to me from somewhere in the car, the voice cutting through the scream and sounds around me, "Hyung, I forgot to tell you this morning to have a good day. Be safe! Donghae."
"Donghae… Hyukjae…" I whispered as I felt hands begin to try and help me, "I'm sorry."
(END FLASHBACK)
Suddenly there are hands around me, rocking me, hugging me, and voices lulling me back into a sane state.
"It's okay hyung," Hyukjae's voice says cutting through the sobs that I am making.
"Please stop crying hyung. You'll just make it worse," Donghae says and I can feel him rubbing my back.
"Did I yell?" I manage to whisper, my breathing coming back to normal.
I feel Hyukjae's head nod against my shoulder.
I don't know how long we sit there on my bed in each other's arms. My breathing is finally back to normal before one of use even dares to speak.
"Did you have that nightmare hyung," Donghae asks as Hyukjae carefully lays me back down onto my bed, propping me up with a few pillows before he begins to give me my medications.
I nod as I feel the needle prick my arm and the pain radiate out in every direction.
"I know it hurts Min but the doctor says that nothing can be done about that," Hyukjae tells me as he gently blows on the spot where the IV is now attached, trying to sooth the pain.
"I know," I tell him as I let my head sink back into the pillows. "Are you leaving soon?"
"Umm hmm," I hear Donghae reply heavily. I know he does not like to leave me at this time especially like this but he has to.
"We'll be back soon," Hyukjae says but I know it is more for Donghae's benefit than for mine. I know they will be back.
I can feel the liquids being pushed into my body via the IV and slowly everything starts to go numb. The pain in my arm begins to vanish and the throbbing in my chest does too.
"Only six more months of this huh," I manage to chuckle.
"Hyung, please don't say things like that!" Donghae exclaims as Hyukjae removed the IV from my arm and puts a gauze over where it once was, "the doctors will make you better."
I know that he has tears falling down his cheeks but I am unable to wipe them away.
"Donghae, they can't do anything and you know that," I manage as I feel the tears trying to form in my nonexistent eyes.
"Yes they will hyung, I won't let you leave us. You… You can't," he answers back in a whisper.
"We'll be back soon," Hyukjae says and I hear him take a hold of Donghae's hand as they walk towards the door. "Do you need anything else before we leave?"
"No, I'm alright. You just do what you have to do." I say leaning my head back against the head board as my mind begins to slip into unconsciousness.
"Then we'll be leaving," Hyukjae says and I hear him close the door and lock it before I slip into the blackness that has become my whole world.
KYUHYUN POV
I had just pulled the covers back over my head to try and get back to sleep when I hear something rustling around in the kitchen. Carefully I get out of bed, not even bothering with my slippers, and make my way over to my door.
Slowly I open the door unsure if it creaks and once it is open enough that I can poke my head out I cautiously look out over the kitchen.
Standing in the center of the kitchen are Hyukjae and Donghae. Glancing at the clock that is sitting above my bed I note that it is 2:37 in the morning.
Sticking my head out a little further I wonder where they are going this early in the morning because I highly doubt that those two wear suits to bed.
Hyukjae is wearing black pants with a black suit top with a gray and white striped checkered shirt underneath while Donghae has the same things on except the shirt he has underneath is just plain white.
Suddenly the two turn and begin to walk towards the little out cove where the pantry is and I creep into the kitchen trying to figure out where the two are going.
Following the twins as they walk into the out cove I notice Hyukjae taking a ring of keys off of his belt and after flipping through a few keys he takes one and unlocks the door.
Carefully I move in front of the refrigerator so that I can glance around the corner as the twins walk into the room.
As Hyukjae walks in he flips a switch and I am now left staring at a dark red Ferrari 458 Italia.
Carefully I walk towards the door which had been left open and as I peer in I see a royal blue Lamborghini Gallardo LP 550-2 Spyder.
I must have made a sound because suddenly Hyukjae is towering over me, a look of death covering his face.
"What the hell do you think you are doing here?" he screamed at me forcing me back into the kitchen.
"I could ask you the same thing." I responded, giving him back the toughest glare I can muster.
"I. Live. Here." He said annunciating each word, "You. Do. Not. Stay out of our business and maybe we'll let you stay."
I actually feel a pang of sadness shoot into my heart.
"Hyukjae," I hear a voice say from behind me but before I can even turn around Donghae rushes past me. Turning, I look to see Sungmin being helped by Donghae.
"Hyukjae," Sungmin says again, "do what you need to do. Donghae please bring me and Kyuhyun to my office, and then you can go about your business with Hyukjae. I need to talk to Kyuhyun about some things."
I watched as Donghae nodded and Hyukjae sighed as he retreated back into the garage. Following Donghae, his arm wrapped firmly around Sungmin's side, he lead me up the stairs to Sungmin's office and after taking a key ring identical to Hyukjae's out of his pocket he proceeded to open the door.
Walking in Donghae motioned for me to sit then he helped Sungmin to his desk and carefully sat him in the large black leather chair.
I watch as Donghae went back down the stairs to join his brother then I turned awkwardly to Sungmin.
"I am sorry for what Hyukjae said earlier but you do not need to worry about what they are doing. Still, I guess it is time to explain why you are here," Sungmin said his empty eye sockets looking directly at me. "You are free to ask any questions that you want."
"Where can I start?" I ask Sungmin a slight tone of annoyance in my voice.
"Where ever you would like," Sungmin responded without a moment's hesitation.
And now I was determined to get some answers.
*Sigh* I did it again. I did not update when I told you I thought I would.
Next week will be the big chapter that you HAVE to read. It is going to be a REALLY good one! It will answer hopefully all of the questions that you have but then again, what kind of person would I be if I did not keep some secrets.
I am really sorry for not updating sooner. I actually just wrote it since I never have time during the week to write anymore.
I hope you all like it!
