"Aren't you cold?"
The male in the wheelchair smiled and lifted his chin, meeting the person behind him. "I'm fine," he replied.
Taehyun then clicked the lock and went in front. He bent down and tugged the male's coat towards his chest. "Aren't you enjoying it too much outside?" he snorted.
Tae Jun giggled. "I'm stuck inside the hospital for almost one and half a month. I want to enjoy the presence of nature." he closed his eyes and felt the breeze of air passing through them. He also sniffed the fragrance of the flowers blooming beautifully just meters away from them.
It's been almost a week since what happened. Taehyun slowly gets used to seeing and talking to his twin brother. He finally realized that he just needed closure to overcome his traumas. After talking to him that day, the heaviness inside him vanished away. His heart finally sailed into the ocean again.
"Why are you always asking me to bring you here at the same time every afternoon?" Taehyun lightly pinched his brother's cheeks before standing. He sat on the soft grasses near his wheelchair.
Tae Jun opened his eyes upon feeling the presence of the male parting away from him. He looked down at his side and saw Taehyun sitting there. "Have you forgotten?" Though he was happy, his eyes showed a glimpse of loneliness. "After our father beat you up, I'm always dragging you up to the attic every afternoon to help you ease the pain," he said.
Taehyun smiled bitterly. "Is that so?" feeling his heavy heart. "Thank you"
Tae Jun fell silent for a while. Thinking about the old days. Where he's still a famous celebrity actor and model. Where the media would flock around him to get a picture and a piece of interview. Everything disappeared. Slowly vanishing away from his hands. The name he was holding very dear slipped away just like that. He chuckled, "I kinda find my situation funny right now," he stated.
Taehyun looked at him and tilted his head. "Why?"
"Isn't it funny? The famous actor is now in his downfall," Tae Jun brushed his hair into his ears and smiled at Taehyun. "What do you think, brother?"
A sudden sympathy throb inside him. Taehyun looked down, fidgeting with his fingers. Does his career also come from Tae Jun? To sum it up, he stole everything from his twin brother. He shouldn't be the one facing the cameras and doing those dramas on TVs. It's all for Tae Jun and yet here he is, claiming everything.
Taehyun clenched his face. "What the heck am I doing this whole time?" he whispered. He once again lifted his eyes and glanced at Tae Jun, who's busy observing the sun going down.
"Tae Jun, I'm sorry" It came out of his mouth.
From the slowing pace of the sun, Tae Jun twisted his head and looked at Taehyun with his pupils dilating in warmth. The afternoon breeze once again blew the leaves off the trees. The butterflies hovered above the flowers.
"I don't hate you," Tae Jun said.
It made Taehyun more stiff. He bit his lower lip in silence, couldn't even bring to look him in the eyes. After all this time, he's the one assuming that he was being hated by his twin brother. The guilt crawled to him and he sprang up from the soft grasses and lightly grabbed Tae Jun's hands. "Don't say that! I stole everything from you! Even So----" he stopped. He averted his gaze and whispered. "Even Soheun"
Tae Jun was surprised, but he remained calm. "You've suffered too much," he said. He lifted his other hand and brushed the male's hair. "It's not your fault, don't blame yourself for everything, even our mother's death."
He squeezed Taehyun's cheeks and made him look up. "You just want someone who can understand you. Stop blaming yourself...please?" he bent down and kissed the male's forehead. "I knew it, coz I've seen your sufferings, and I'm sorry...bringing to the attic to witness the sunset with me is the only thing I could do back then,"
Before Taehyun could realize, his eyes were almost tearing up. "T-Tae Jun.." he uttered, clenching his lips while stopping the sobs.
[Diccu, I don't want to leave this world anymore]
DICCU: Wait, you're totally crying as Jinli, right?
[I couldn't help it. Tae Jun is such an angel]
"You guys are getting along pretty well, ehh?"
From the other side of the wheelchair, Doctor Shin appeared. Wearing his long white coat and a stethoscope around his neck. His lips formed a smile. "Watching the sunset together? That's sweet," he stated.
Taehyun sniffed and twirled around, wiping his tears to hide his embarrassment. Meanwhile, Doctor Shin stayed there with them for a couple of minutes. His gaze went to the endless horizon touching the middle of the sun. Witnessing this warm scene was one of Tae Jun's wish list. Doctor Shin wanted Tae Jun to at least experience all of this. Looking at his medical records every day is hurting him too. The truth is, Tae Jun didn't even care about the money, popularity he had when he's a celebrity. All he wanted was to fix everything between him and Taehyun.
A smile formed on Doctor Shin's lips.
The peaceful moment they are having didn't last. Just when the last rays of the sun touched down on the horizon, Tae Jun groaned. He clenched his chest and started to shorten his breaths. He was like restraining something he didn't want to let out, but the pain turned more aggressive.
"Tae Jun!!! What happened?!!"
Doctor Shin finally snapped back from shock. He spun the wheelchair real quick towards the emergency room, with Taehyun following behind him. Sweat is forming on his forehead and his heart is almost killing him from nervousness and panic.
"Doctor Shin!! Please.. Help him!!" Taehyun pleaded.
The nurses also gathered around them and lifted Tae Jun up to the stretcher. They entered the ICU and put it on emergency.
Taehyun slumped on the bench near the room. He lifted his legs and buried his head on his knees while hugging himself. "Please, save him"
