Without words  Chapter 18 - Eyes Okay Myungsoo felt weird. He felt sad. The panic and the nervousness were gone, thanks to the nurse who had given him another two pills. He thought about his parents. His only secret. And now Hoya knew about it. He had sworn himself to kill Hoya if he would say just one word. But that weird feeling didn´t vanish. It made him nervous again. Sungyeol knelt down and swallowed hard when he layed the bouquet on the stone in front of his family´s grave. „Bought some flowers.“ he whispered, ignoring the first tear sneaking out. He smiled bitterly. Grabbed the plastic bag.„And a teddy bear for you, Lena. I hope you... like it.“ Sungyeol started crying, this was the first time that he got confronted with the reality. With the grave in front of him, he definite proof that they were gone. His grandparents on both sides had died a couple of years ago. He only had his uncle. In korea.„I found some friends.“ he whispered.“You would like them, they are funny. And I am studying hard on my korean. I just wanted to tell something. I am thankful for the inherit, with this money I will do something good. A friend of mine...“ Sungyeol couldn´t stop it, he started sobbing heavily. He took a few deep breath. Swallowed hard, cleared his throat.„... he needs an operation. I will use our money for that. I hope you understand.“ he whispered again. „You are crying, boy.“

Sungyeol ditched at the sudden voice and turned around. It was a really old woman, she was smiling and put a small candle on the grave beside him. „My husband. He died ten years ago.“ she said, still smiling. „Why are you so happy, when I am crying?“ he sobbed again. „Listen boy. Nobody left you.“

„What do you mean?“

„When a person dies it doesn´t vanish. They just went ahead. Waiting for you. To life a happy life and meet you someday when you´re ready to join them.“

Sungyeol stared at her.„Thanks.“ he whispered. The woman smiled again and stood up. Walked away. Left him alone.He stared at the grave.“Just went ahead. Sounds nice. Wait for me okay?“ he mumbled and had to smile. Myungsoo was annoyed, the nurse had said that he could leave the hospital at 29th, because before this time, there was no doctor to let him check out. He wanted to leave, since yesterday he had brightened up already. His friends had visited him again, they had played games. He had felt that Hoya was with them, but Hoya had stayed silent. Myungsoo felt a bit regretful and had asked him to eat with him. Hoya had laughed, and all of them had went out to the cantina and enjoyed the delicious hospital food. The chocked when he just thought about it again. „So the nurse said you have to stay until the 29th ?“ Kiseop asked.„Yes.“

He heard some giggling.„What is so funny about it?“

„Nothing.“ Aron answered and it got quiet in the room. „Why are all of you so quiet?“ Myungsoo hated this silence. It was awkward.„We´re just tired. Do you want to go outside in the park and sleep a little in the grass?“ Zelo giggled.Myungsoo thought about it.„Okay.“ he whispered.Feeling the grass was better than not seeing it. Sungyeol was staring out of the window. The waiting time in Toronto had been hell, about 10 hours. He had rented a small room and had slept a few hours. And now... He could see the lights of Seoul already. He was hyper, the machine had started on point, the wheater had been perfect, they hadn´t been any delay. When he would land, he would have to leave the airport immediatly. The bank was opened until 8pm. Not a lot of time, but he was sure that he would make it.  Myungsoo was still uncomfortable when JongUp carried him, but he couldn´t help it. „Here is a nice spot. Behind you is a big tree, you´re in the shadow.“ Zelo whispered while he put his leg on the ground. „Thanks.“ Myungsoo mumbled.„Drinks?“ Hoya asked. Suddenly Myungsoo had to smile. Friends were something to treasure. Sungyeol rushed out of the airport. They had landed perfectly, on the second. He didn´t want to waist time. He pulled out his phone.„Neh?“

„Sungyeol Korea. Ije bank.“„Chincha? Bali!“ Dongwoo yelled in the phone.„Chingu ije Myungsoo?“

„Neh. Myungsoo happy.“ „Okay. Sungyeol bali!“ He hung up. Suddenly he got nervous. He turned around and went to the next banking terminal, put his card in. Checked his account. Sighed in relief when he saw that the money was on his account.Gasped when he saw the amount. He would pay the operation and after that a freaking ferrari. For sure. He ran out of the airport.Changed to his right and was about to jump in a taxi, when he saw the line. Patiently he went behind it and waited until the other people had entered their taxi´s.The korean driver asked him where he wanted to go. Sungyeol smirked, his understanding got better and better. He gave him the paper with the adress of the bank.The driver nodded and joined the traffic.  Myungsoo was playing with a leaf that he had found on the ground. Retraced his soft sides, imagined his form. It was weird for him, but touching things was a different kind of seeing for him. Dongwoo´s phone rang.„Chincha? Bali!“ Dongwoo yelled in the phone.Myungsoo turned his head. „Neh. Myungsoo happy.“ He froze. This was korenglish. „Dongwoo hyung, why... who was that on the phone?“

He heard pestering around him, and a whine from Dongwoo. „Just be honest that much...“ he heard Sungjong pester. He was surprised, Dorm 3 too? Ecspecially Sungjong? Wow. „It was Sungyeol. He had asked if you´re okay.“

Myungsoo bit his lip.“He did?“ he whispered.„He said that he would visit you tomorrow. A special surprise.“ Sungjong continued. „I don´t want to see him.“ „You won´t. You´re blind.“ Sungjong answered, followed by painful screams of the little bitch, when the other´s killed him for his rude way of talking. Myungsoo smirked. Sungjong was right. He couldn´t see him anyways.

„What the hell...?“ Sungyeol was staring at the big construction building in front of him, a small note was pinned on it. In hangul. He took out his phone.

„Neh?“

„Ren-ah, ije picture. Handy. English chingu now. Araso?“ „Neh hyung.“Sungyeol cut the connection took a picture of the note and sent it to Ren´s phone. A minute later his phone rang.„It says that they have moved to another part of the city. We checked the opening times, they are opened until 7pm.“Sungyeol checked the time.“It´s 5am!“„The location is not that far away. You can walk, that´s better than the traffic. I give you the adress just type it in your phone navy.“
