Christian Yu Story: Attached, Chapter 1
I walk towards the kitchen and pull out a packet of ramyun from the cabinet. I look at the clock, 4:07 am. I hate eating at this time, since the rumor said that eating after 7 pm will make me fat. Well.. It’s already morning, right?
I jumped when I heard my phone rings.
Who’s calling at this time?
I went to the bed where the phone is. Look at the caller.
Why the heck he’s calling at this time?
“….. Heeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyy morniiiiiiiingggggggg!” Two words and I already know what kind of situation is it. He’s drunk again.
“Are you drunk again?!” I said a bit rude. It’s the 3rd times this month he’s been troubles me with this drunk habit he did.
“Nooo.. You know.. You are the besttttttt person in the worldddddddddd.. siuewynjdksauyndjkwhdnhuqy” He keeps mumbling words that I can’t understand.
“Meeee? Me… At your heart babeee..” I heard some noises in front of my apartment door.
I went out the door and peep out to the right of my apartment door.
There he is, kneeling in front of his studio apartment door. Mumbling words that only he and God knows. He just wearing a simple black shirt and a black pant, but he is doing it all good.
The smell of alcohol and cigarette hits so hard. How many did he drinks this time?
“Yah! You can’t push your own house passwords?!”
My heart jumped a little bit. He can’t push his own door passwords but he managed to push my phone number?
“Come here. I’ll help you.”
He wrapped his arm around my neck, while I wrapped my arm around his waist. Pushing his house password and then you help him go inside his apartment.
“YN.. You smelled nice.” Christian groaned, whining my name extremely close to my neck makes me shiver.
I slowly put him on the bed, unbuttoning his shirt and then head to the bathroom to get a wet towel. I wipe his face with the towel, “I can’t believe your liver is still working right now.”
I didn’t realize that I do it too hard that it might hurt.
“Yah, it hurts.” He pushed my hand away, open his eyes looking all pissed off. I scrunch my face up and look at him. “That’s why you shouldn’t have drink so much knowing you can’t even take care of yourself!!”
“I got a bad headache and you’re yelling at me?” His tone doesn’t sound friendly at all either. I sigh a bit and wave my hand, “Nevermind. I’ll get you a cup of water.”
I stand up but was pull back at my wrist, making me fall on top of his body, on his bed.
It had been almost 5 years, I supposed. We have known for almost 5 years. Since I moved to this apartment building, being his neighbor. The first time we met was at this apartment elevator when he helped me lifting my luggage. He still wearing braches, but it doesn’t make him any less than now. He still looked good back then.
His face was extremely close. I can see his perfect jaw and his neck tattoo closely.
He leaned down by the side of my neck and give a peck. His sudden affection warm me, but break my heart a little. Friends not supposed to do this. This going to lead to something worse. So I push him a little hard. Removing myself from him.
“Why don’t you play with your other girls?” I mumbled while getting him a cup of water from dispenser.
Getting back to him where he still at his last position. I help him to sit.
“Here. Drink this.” He nodded like a little puppy.
“You should go to sleep, Ian. It’s already 5 in the morning.”
I turned around planning to go back to my own apartment, when suddenly I felt a pair of arms hugged me from behind.
I hate how his voice commands my body actions every time.
I turn around to face him. His arms still clinging around my waist.
“I promise I won’t do anything. It’s just feel so lonely in here.”
“I..” My voice cracked a bit.
“I said I promise. Should I beg?” He said for the second time. I feel a bit butterfly in my stomach, since I know he have the biggest ego in the world but he said it for the second time.
The sun shining right in front of my head since he didn’t close the window curtain. I opened my eyes. There’s Lori right in front of me. I pet her head and slowly whisper, “Morning, Lori.”
I move my hand down where his arm was wrapped around my torso attempt to remove it carefully trying to not waking him up. As I try to move his arm away, he pull me closer. He groaned, nuzzle onto my neck.
I tried for the second time to remove his arm and once again I failed. He tightened his arm around my torso.
I sigh a bit, “I need to get ready for work, Ian.”
“No.” He reply immediately.
He put my legs in between his legs. I’m literally lock by him. Holding me like a bolster, “How about you tell your boss that you’re sick and we can stay all day like this?”
Damn that sounds really tempting.
“Do you want me to get fired?” I can believe he’s think easily like that.
He snuggle a little more, “So let it be. And work for us. The boys will love you to be in the team.”
I turn around to face him. A little annoyed with his offer. Giving him my best annoying look, “Do you want me to die? I’m already tired taking care of this 5 years old child here. Now you want me to take care of the whole kindergarten?”
He pushed my hair back to my ear. His eyes starring right into my eyes, “Did I troubled you again?”
“I’m sorry” He said softly.
I really want to be mad at him, but I couldn’t help it when it comes to his puppy face.
I turn my back on him again, trying to hide my smile.
“Let me hold you for 5 minutes.” He continued, hugging me tighter.
It’s been 4 days since Christian troubled me with his new drunk habit. 4 years ago, he still in C-Clown. He had no free will to do. His label company will eat him alive if they know he drink and drunk a lot. But now, he’s on his own. DPR is a small independent label that he and his friends own. I know the club things maybe just for entertaining their guests, but I still don’t like it. Knowing there’s many pretty models that can throw themselves anytime to him and I know he can’t resist.
I don’t really remember since when we get really close like this. Maybe because we both have been single for a long time and our cosy friendship making us now like this.
I look again at my phone screen. No text, no called, nothing. I grabbed my phone and my wallet thinking to go to the nearest supermarket to buy some stuff. I walk towards the elevator passing his room. There’s Dabin in front of his studio apartment door.
He look surprised, “YN Noona!”
I furrow my brows and stare at him, “Dabin-ah, what are you doing in front of his house?”
He sigh, “I’ve been calling hyung for the past hour. We have plan to go to the studio at 12 o’clock. We have an important meeting.”
I looked at my phone screen time. It’s already 12:37 pm. Christian actually a very punctual person. It’s not like him. Without a doubt I push his studio apartment password.
“Christian?” I step my foot inside his apartment.
He curled up inside the blanket with no intention to move.
“Shit, Hyung!” Dabin look super worried.
I bend down beside his bed touching his forehead, “Ian, you’re burning.”
Christian opened his eyes a bit. He mumbled but I still can understand him, “I’m still alive right?”
I went to him after bringing a damp cloth and put on his forehead. I turn around to Dabin, “I think he can’t go, Dabin-ah.”
“Yeah I know. I will tell the member that we can’t go.” Dabin said while trying to call the member.
I stopped him, “You can go Dabin-ah, I can take care of him alone.”
Dabin gave an apologetic look. “You sure noona?”
“Yeah. It’s nothing. You said it’s an important meeting. You should go Dabin-ah. You already late.” I said while signaling him about the time.
“I’m sorry noona. Keep me the updates.” He then walked out the room.
Now I’m back at him again. Giving glare to his eyes, “Since when?! Why don’t you call me?”
He let out a cough, “I feel like I’m dying.”
I pull the sheets up to his body. Then looking at Lori who’s sitting nicely beside me. “That’s not my question, Ian.”
He took a deep breathe, “I don’t want to trouble you again.”
I looked around and landed my eyes at his clothes at the floor. He must be at the club again.
“Can you stop overworking yourself?” I hissed at him, “If you can’t go to entertaining them, so don’t go. It’s not your responsibility anyway. You can’t go everyday, Ian. One day you body will break apart.”
I feel the tears start to collect at my eyes. I tried my best to look everywhere except his eyes.
But he caught me, “Yah, why are you crying?”
His voice sound worried, making the tears uncontrollably rolled down my cheeks.
“Hey. Look at me.” He then cupped my chin and wiped the tears with his thumb.
“What if you passed out without no one knows? What if Dabin didn’t come here to check you? What if something happened to you?”
I confessed that I’m super worried about him. He tried to get up and sit leaning at the wall.
“Don’t cry.. I thought..” He touched his hair, letting know that he’s really frustrated.
He had a funny habit to touch his hair every time he frustrated about something.
Then I heard him chuckled. I turn my face to him, looking at him confused, “What?!”
He let a little laugh, “God, you’re so ugly when you cried.”
I gave him slight hit at his chest. How could he make a jokes at this situation? “What a jerk.”
