"No that is not true, I love you, you are the only one for me" Roksu pled.
"I don't believe you. You change, you do love someone but that is not me"
"It is you that I love, where did you even hear about me cheating? I never once cheated on you"
"Where did I-, Hah! Is that the confirmation that you truly cheated on me?"
"What? No, For the last time I never once cheated on you!"
Roksu didn't know what to do. No matter what he says, no matter how many times he tries to explain. It was like talking to a wall.
He doesn't even know what he did to arouse this type of suspicion to be constantly being accused of cheating. When he never once cheated.
"Yes, you did! Remember Cale!?"
"Yes! It is Cale. Do you even know another person whose name is Cale that is important to you?" Slacker-Life cried out
"Because of him, we drifted apart. You started to even welcome misunderstanding, trouble, chaos, and headaches. What about me?"
And Slacker-Life starts to sob which turns into a full-blown cry.
Roksu panicked, not knowing what to do with a person? Being? Suddenly starts crying heavily. Thus, he just looks at Slacker-Life, awkwardly waving his arms around her, not knowing if he should pat her, hug her, or anything.
Making it look like Roksu is making fun of Slacker-Life. He didn’t even know why Cale got involved in this.
“Cale? Why would Cale get involved?” he questioned slightly as he started to pat Slacker-Life’s back trying to calm her down.
This just made Slacker-Life cry harder before making a decision that makes Roksu panic. Moving away from Roksu, Slacker-Life tries to stop from crying, wiping her eyes said this to Roksu.
“What… What do you… No, you can’t leave”
“You can’t, I won’t allow it”
Roksu shakes his head in denial. This is his dream and yet his dream is going to leave him? No, she can’t do that.
“You will. You don’t have a choice. No. You do have a choice, you just didn’t choose me”
And with that Slacker-Life’s body started to glow and started to slowly disappear.
“No… no… you can’t leave me… You’re my hope and dream, the reason why I am living the way I am”
“Please… Don’t leave me. I didn’t even cheat”
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Normally there will be noise from the people who are doing their jobs or training. But now it was dead silent.
And this happens after a mission gone wrong. No one died because of their commander’s plan and strategy but the sudden appearance of another monster caught everyone off-guard and this resulted in Roksu having injuries and caused him to fall unconscious.
It had been 2 weeks since then, and during that time only Team Leader Lee Soo Hyuk, Choi Jung Soo, Cale, and little Kyle were there at his bedside.
Their commander is already healed, they are just waiting for him to wake up.
“He sure is taking so long to wake up” Soo Hyuk muttered worriedly.
“Cale, you could take a break and sleep. We will wake you up later after you get some sleep” Jung Soo also looks worriedly at the redhead who looks like he is about to collapse.
The door suddenly opens, quite loudly at that, startling Kyle into waking up enough to start crying.
“Team Leader, Jung Soo and Cale. We are here, we got the food”
“Shhh” Cale immediately shush them while starting to calm Kyle who is crying, much to the embarrassment of Kyle as he is acting like a baby.
A quiet and weak voice is heard as each head turns into the bed where a certain commander is lying down.
Cale reaches out to Roksu’s head to pat him softly. After a while, he stops and is about to take back his hand, but Roksu’s hand catches his hand, not letting him go.
“Cale…can’t leave… you can’t… my…hope…dream…reason on…living”
Cale who is there just blinks before a slight red hue appears on his face.
The quiet pleading of the unconscious man makes everyone there look at Roksu in shock.
“…Don’t leave me…I didn’t…cheat…”
Lee Soo Hyuk, Choi Jung Soo, and Park Jin Tae look at Cale with an extensive smile and a teasing look on them while Cale's face now imitates the color of his hair.
‘Why are you saying that Roksu!? You better wake up, now! You make them think we are truly a couple when we are not! We are supposed to stop them thinking that we are lovers, not prove their delusions!’
Cale can’t help but complain in his head.
Kyle however looks so done after hearing this. He looks like this old man who looks like him and somehow everyone is convinced his other father is making new misunderstandings again and it is quite impressive since the guy is unconscious. Not to mention this other ‘so-called father’ of his, Kyle just knows this guy is cursing the sleeping beauty father of his.
Really the denseness of these two is insane and he is supposed to be the one who is cursed to not feel emotions and feelings, and yet he is the one who knows that these two are just in deep denial, and it was sickening seeing them flirt in front of him and they don’t even realize it!
Roksu woke up with the annoying smiles he could see from everyone, Cale who looked like he was dying from a fever with how red he was and he could also see Kyle looking like he was done with life, which was fair but it was weird seeing a baby having that type of expression.
“What happened and why are you all looking like that” Roksu croaked out instead of saying as he felt the dryness in his mouth.
Seeing that Cale got the cup of water for him Roksu is incredibly grateful.
“So, I’ll ask again, what happened?”
With a shit-eating grin on his face, Choi Jung Soo starts saying something
“…you…can’t” Park Jin Tae smirks while continuing what Choi Jung Soo is saying.
As the color of Roksu’s face drains, Cale’s face turns redder.
“…my…hope…dream… reason on…living”
And Roksu looks at Lee Soo Hyuk in disbelief and in betrayal.
They heard him sleep talk that’s the only thing he could think as he still remembered that nightmare and judging from what they said it was not the complete conversation but rather... Those misunderstandings are going to be… Roksu paled even more and this time his face was tinged with horror
-----------------------------------------------------------------
That is what the rest of the company and residents of the shelter heard, that their commander woke up from a nightmare where he was apparently caught cheating. There are even rumors that Roksu pleads for his lover to not leave him.
This just makes everyone there believe that Roksu has a fear of people abandoning him and this just makes them look happy that he already has his other half, who will not leave him as they had seen how the redhead never once left Roksu’s side when he was unconscious.
The center of their attraction, however, is currently sulking after he learns the new rumor that surrounds him.
Park Jin Tae, who spread what he had heard to the others, also takes great pleasure in informing Roksu whenever he gets into a misunderstanding. After all, he enjoys seeing the usually stoic young man show emotion like this, not because he is salty from what happened in THAT incident that involved him in whatever misunderstanding this family has, making him the only one who knows the truth but still has to suffer because ‘HOW CAN PEOPLE BE THAT DENSE?’ Nope, he is not salty at all.
