BROTHER BY PROMISE 4
Next morning Jisung came down from upstairs to the living room, where Mr. Han was having his morning coffee on the couch.
Felix was still in the room sleeping
Han Jisung
Oh, good morning Dad.
He looks at Jisung and keeps his cup on the table
Mr. Joshua Han.
Good morning, sit.
He gestures towards the opposite couch
Jisung Nods and sits down, rubbing his eyes and yawning. Though he had freshen up but still was not fully out of sleep.
Mr. Joshua Han.
Still sleepy ?
Jisung was a little confused at first, but then he looked up quickly and answered.
Han Jisung
Huh, ugh....No, I mean..No, I'm good. (he sits straight and fixes his T-shirt and Shorts)
Mr. Joshua Han.
Ahh, fine. You don't need to be perfect always.
Han Jisung
Thanks Dad, I'm touched. (he smiles genuinely)
Soon Mrs. Han brings the breakfast for the table.
And places the plates while looking at Jisung.
Mrs. Adriana Han
Good morning, son.
Han Jisung
Good morning mum.
Han Jisung
Ugh, mom...I was saying that..(he looks here and there to avoid the awkwardness)
Mrs. Adriana Han
Yeah, what is it ?
His mother asks with a genuine concern
Han Jisung
I mean, I was saying that...can I take the breakfast for Felix in his room. I mean he's still sleeping, so...I'll wake him up and...you know....
He tried to avoid the atmosphere as much as he could.
And tries not to get embarrassed
Mrs. Adriana looks at Mr. Joshua and then looks back at Jisung. And gives a silent smile.
Mrs. Adriana Han
You seem to care for him so much since tomorrow.
Han Jisung
Um it's not like that I like him or want him as my brother, I still think he isn't capable enough for being MY brother...but you know...I...he's injured so-
Mr. Joshua Han.
Fine, you don't have to explain anything (he gave a confirmation smile)
Mrs. Adriana Han
Yes, we love to see you brothers care for each other...
Han Jisung
(awkwardly smiles)
Jisung asks softly this time waiting for his mother's answer
Mr. And Mrs Han looked at each other for a moment, and then they again looked at Jisung.
Mrs. Adriana Han
Yes, Of course you can, but first have your breakfast and then take it..
Han Jisung
(he smiles) Okay Mom.
Then all of them had their breakfast together and then Jisung took the Breakfast to Felix's Room.
He opens the door slowly and gets inside. Felix was still sleeping.
He removed the Curtains for the light to peep in and then placed the breakfast on the Bed-side table.
Then he sits beside Felix and pats on his hair, with affection. And tries to wake him up.
Han Jisung
Felix...hey buddy, wake up, it's already morning.
Han Jisung
You have to take your breakfast and then your medicines too, you have to be strong isn't it??
Han Jisung
Get up, get up...
Felix slowly opens his eyes, and rubs them.
Han Jisung
Good morning, sunshine.
Han Felix
(he smiles and gets up)
Han Felix
Good morning Hyung.
Han Jisung
Feeling a little better now, or....
Han Felix
Much better than yesterday..
Han Jisung
Good, you're recovering then. But, for the faster process you need to have your food intakes going on.
Han Jisung
So now, quickly get up, fresh up and take your food...
Felix walks towards the shower and freshens up, then Later Jisung serves the breakfast to Felix.
They both talked for a longer time, when Felix was having his food.
For making him feel good.
Jisung talked about Felix's Ambitions, favorite songs and also sports.
All those things which Jisung never really talked about or shared with his so-called Friends.
For the first time, Jisung actually gets someone to share his feelings and thoughts with, a shoulder, a friend.
Several thoughts wandered around Jisung's mind, but his favorite one was...
Han Jisung
(for so many years I tried to search for friends all over my school, public...outside. But I never realized that, the friend I was trying to find from so many years, was just beside my room, my own brother. I was such a silly boy.)
Han Jisung
(I wish I had found this guy before, many of my problems would have been solved so easily)
Han Jisung
(All that time when I needed a friend, I just needed to knock at one door. But I didn't do that, because of my ego... The fragile ego which got hurt when Felix got more attention than me...I'm such heartless)
Han Jisung
(But now that I realized my mistake, I will never, never ever loose him, I Promise.)
all this time Felix was talking while eating, and Jisung was just staring at him and thinking all these.
Seeing Jisung stare at him like that, Felix stopped talking.
Han Felix
Hyung, are you okay..??
Han Felix
Did I talk too much ?
Jisung didn't say anything, but just leaned forward and Hugged Felix.
For the first time, Jisung actually Shows affection for Felix, this really left Felix in shock and happiness both.
He was confused to show or say anything, So he just let the moment flow.
Han Jisung
I'm sorry Felix..(his voice broke)
Han Jisung
I'm sorry, for treating you like shìt... For not accepting you as my brother, when all you did was just got the attention, the love that you deserved.
Han Jisung
I'm sorry, for not accepting your hugs and greets and whenever you tried to be nice with me...I'm sorry..
Han Jisung
Please, just please give me the space one more time...I promise, I'll not be that rude anymore...
Felix did not have a word to say, and then, then pulled back from Jisung.
Han Felix
Hyung, why...are you saying like that, your older than me...I cannot forgive you...I really love you...and you don't have to be guilty of what you did, I'm just glad that you realized... And THAT'S ALL.
Han Jisung
Will you give me back my place which you left for me in your heart.
Han Felix
Hyung, you never lost it.
Han Felix
It was always reserved for you, no one can take it away from you. (he smiles)
This left Jisung in tears, the genuine tears.
Han Jisung
I promise to never, never ever let you go Felix.
Han Jisung
But you have to be with me, like a friend, like this... forever.
Han Felix
I was always there Hyung.
Han Felix
I'm just glad, that you searched.
