Both Vincent and Akwasi were surprised this stranger knew Vincent's name but he was expecting it since this stranger had tried to meet him for the second time.
Akwasi who couldn't wrapped his head around it moved closer to Vincent and whispered "do you know him?"
Vincent shook his head indicating he didn't know this stranger. "Then how does he know your name? He is handsome too. Wait don't tell me he is one of your admirer after your picture circulated" asked Akwasi with all sort of scenarios.
Vincent didnt reply since he had no idea who this person was. The stranger wheeled himself closer to Vincent and gestured to for Vincent to bend down. Vincent did that without uttering a word.
He cupped Vincent's cheeks examining it like a forensic pathologist who is rather examining a face instead of a dead body.
"You are handsome in real life indeed and well built too. No wonder he wouldn't..." said the man in the wheelchair as he paused in his sentence.
Akwasi couldn't take the suspense any longer as he went ahead and spoke "who couldn't what and by the way and who are you please?"
The man in the wheelchair turned to Akwasi and instead of replying, he gave him a big smile that sent goosebumps to Akwasi.
This man is weird was the thought running through Akwasi's mind. He scanned the room taking in the decoration of it. It was indeed a nice and beautiful building.
"Why do you want to see us?" asked Vincent not beating around the bush and was still standing at the position he was as soon as he entered.
The man sighed and afterwards, he smiled again "I can see why he couldn't stop talking about you" said the man in the wheelchair. Are you curious about this man, well let's all go back to the past for a few minutes.
Five years ago before Jae Won's accident.
It's been three months since Jae Won's return and even though he was a little sad for leaving Vincent behind, but talking to him everyday was something he was looking forward to every second.
Jae Won was always smiling as he stared at his phone always which made his parent thought their son was losing his mind. But in all they were happy to see him smile always.
Within that three months he came, he had been visiting his brother who has been in coma. The first time he visited his brother at the hospital, he wouldn't stop talking about Vincent. And that was the beginning of Jae Won's torment to his brother for the first three months.
Jae Won was seated close to his brother from lectures as usual chatting with Vincent while he smiled. Vincent took a picture of him in a bathrobe exposing his black smooth skin and build chest sending Jae Won to high heaven. He wanted to send it in the morning but forgot to do that and decided to do it now since he is free.
Jae Won, "Are you trying to make me book a flight in the next second?"
Vincent, "I would have love that. I missed you so much especially your sumptuous lips. Can I get a look at it?
Jae Won smiled and quickly entered the washroom to do the deeds for his baby"
Picture sent*
Jae Won, "how do I look?" Asked Jae Won waiting for Vincent to reply.
Vincent, "you look good. Baby who is making you so beautiful? Should I be jealous because this is not the doing of my sperms…*laugh emoji."
Jae Won, "no one has a good sperm like yours. This is still the doing of your sperms. It's now manifesting in me."
Phone ringing
"Baby, are you sure it's my sperms" asked Vincent the moment Jae Won picked the call. "Come on baby, no one I mean no one can satisfy me like you do. So don't worry i am all yours."
Vincent smiled so widely Jae Won had to compliment him on his smiles. "We will be going for our summer break soon and I was thinking of spending at least two weeks with you" said Jae Won.
Vincent stood motionless grasping on to what he had just heard. He has missed Jae Won so much that Vincent felt he would be dying soon. "Can you come today or I can come to you today?" Said Vincent making Jae Won laughed.
"Relax baby, I miss you more than you do but we will have to wait." Vincent frowned which Jae Won found it cute.
"But baby...."
"Vincent, let's go buy an ice cream" said Samuel interrupting Vincent. Vincent slowly turned to his direction about to say something he wouldn't have liked it but Jae Won spoke.
"Don't even think about it." said Jae Won clearly reading Vincent's mind. "Are you talking to Jae? Jae Jae we have missed you. When are coming to visit us again?" asked Samuel while trying to peep on the phone screen but Vincent wouldn't allow it.
"I will come very soon. Vince, you two should go and let's talk later" said Jae Won. Vincent pressed his lips into a thin line trying to hold back his comment. But his baby has ordered him.
Well he planned on getting revenge on that little brother of him. "Okay baby, greet your brother for me. We will talk later" said Vincent.
Jae Won came out of the washroom smiling so brightly it could blind someone close to him and it almost did.
"Ouch….what was that for?"
Jae Won, "...….."
Jae Won's smile that could blind someone suddenly drop with surprise and confused drawn on his face. Jae Won couldn't believe whose voice he had just heard. A voice he had almost forgot how sweet and sometimes authoritative it sound.
"Are you not happy to see me again brother?" asked Cha Eun Won. Jae Won only realized tears was streaming down his cheeks was when he heard "loosened up, I can't breathe."
With that being said did Jae Won realized he was crying and also hugging Eun Won tightly. "I'm so sorry brother, we thought we would lose you."
Eun Woo rubbed his right hand at the back of Jae Won who still couldn't stop crying. "The doctor said you might not wake up so we should prepare for the worse" as he said this he let go of Eun Wo and began hitting him softly.
"Wait let me go and call the doctor" as Jae Won said this, he was out of the room in a second before Eun Won could speak.
In less than thirty minutes and the doctor was done with his examination and announced Eun Won would be healthy in a few years.
The remaining three months, Eun Won was still at the hospital going through all procedures to become healthy.
One day, Jae Won was busy smiling while his eyes were stuck on his phone and not paying attention to the one he came to visit. This was the time Eun Won thought of prying info from his little brother. He basically brought him out of his coma because of his non stop talking.
"Are you talking to your girlfriend?" asked Eun Won who already had guessed the scene but still wanted to to verify. Jae Won smiled, his eyes so sparkly like a pearl.
Jae Won pursed his lips together like trying to withhold some information. "Urum, she is uurm….." but he was cut off by his only brother.
"Your girlfriend is rather a boyfriend?" asked Eun Won. Jae Won's jaw dropped. How did his brother find out. Jae Won stared at his brother as though they were meeting for the first time.
"I've always known since you were a kid" said his brother with a proud smile on his face. Even he didn't know until he was in sixth grade.
Eun Won suspected when he always talked about one particular boy when he was in kindergarten. He talked about him a lot which his parents suggested he should be friends with him which he did.
They became friends till high school which they separated because Jae Won finally confessed his feelings to his friend which he was ruthlessly rejected and was cut ties off with him. His high school days was nothing to look back for.
"I believe you went to meet your boyfriend that's when you end up missing, isn't it?" asked Eun Won. Jae Won nodded.
Tears almost streaming down his face but Eun Won wouldn't allow it. "Now tell me about your new boyfriend." This was when Eun Won regretted asking his brother.
He bragged about his boyfriend non stop and ended up showing him his pictures, videos and what others shouldn't see.
Present….
"I knew it was you the moment I saw your picture circulating on the internet." He laughed as he continued "I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me."
Vincent was boiling with anger heating all this and still not understanding what he meant. "Who are you and how do you know me?" Vincent asked again now trying to stay calm.
