Departure

With a mess inside his head, still Lex heading to kitchen to cook some simple meals for his sick boyfriend.

Lex is back to check on Ken if he awakens yet, gladly he is awake but unmoved.

"Hi..." Lex went up to the bed, kissing softly Ken on forehead "How's your feeling?"

"awful" a short sentence to answer Lex question

Caressing Ken's hair gently, Lex sit next to him "Are you mad at me? I know was wrong, I Just couldn't get hold on myself... I'm so sorry"

"I have nothing to say..." secretly Ken is teasing his boyfriend, Lex must feel bad for what he done to Ken as it still clearly showed on Ken's skin the bruised and the bites mark Lex leaves on him last night.

Lex pulls himself away from Ken with sad face then blankly sat on the couch near the window. He can't thinking clearly right now as he also can't see that Ken is almost burst into laugh seeing him taking the joke seriously.

"Hey... I'm just kidding" Ken turn his tone into soft and sweet tone, hoping that Lex will immediately crawling back to bed but seems like Lex doesn't even listening to his voice... he still there staring blankly out of the window.

"Lex..." Ken is calling one more time, no response "Aaahhh!!" Ken screaming short but loud

Hearing the scream, Lex is back to his soul and hurriedly run toward the bed to check on his boyfriend "What happens baby? Where do you feel hurt? let me see... can I touch you?" he is panicking

Grabb!

Ken stopped Lex's movements by holding his hands, "Are you okay? I was just kidding... I'm not mad to you baby, I'm so happy right now"

Lex realise that Ken is telling the truth now, he feels relieved.

"Are you?" Lex come closer to Ken, hug him tightly "I'm so happy... but at the same time I feel bad for my reckless action, I'll do it softly next time...hmm...my baby I really like it when I hug you like this, I feel like... I want to bring you whenever I go" Lex softly kissing the neck and shoulder of his boyfriend

"ha ha ha... it's tickle... stop it" Ken sweetly avoiding the kisses "Is everything alright? you were on the phone with someone before... who was that?"

Lex flinched, " How do you know I was on the phone?No, I meant... it's no problem if you know about this but I thought you're pass out at the time"

Ken shrugged his shoulders, "I just heard the incoming call and saw your leaves that's all. I don't want to bother you right now but is everything okay?" he repeats the question, sincerely worry for his boyfriend

"Come here..." Lex is pulling back this warm and handsome boyfriend of his into his embraces

Obediently Ken listening to Lex, softly kissing Lex's lip before leaning his head on the broad shoulder.

Caressing Ken soft hair, Lex say "Will you be okay if I left for some days? or... you want to come with me? which one do you think a better idea?"

"Huh?" Ken didn't get it, then he remembered that Lex family is not in this country... they are living abroad "Is this about your family?"

Hugging even tighter, Lex nods.

"It's my dad... I don't wanna keep it secret from you, my mom was calling and telling me that dad is in critical condition after involved in an accident there, they want me to return home... I still need your opinion even though I clearly know what would you say"

Touching Lex's hands, Ken brings them to his cheeks "I feel so lucky to have a super nice and kind boyfriend like you... Listen up... let say if I come with you, there's no way you'll dare leaving me alone meanwhile they needed you to be with your dad, with your family. Or if I come with you...We haven't reach that point where we're able to introduces each other to our family yet"

"I know... we are still in our early stage of this relationship but I don't think it wrong to introduce you to my family... let say you are my best friend in Korea, they will be happy to know that I'm doing great here... I even made best friend" Lex is insisting

Ken responding with a light laugh, "I'm not ready yet plus your dad should be your first priority while there, don't worry about me" Ken hold tight on Lex neck

"...." listening to Ken words make Lex feel relieved but worry at the same time

"Lex... daddy bear... hey!" pulling down Lex's head to get his attention, Ken recognises the slightest change in Lex's face "Are you that afraid to be apart from me?"

Lex exhaling long sigh...

"Honey...I still feel bad for what I've done to you on our first-time, so please don't be so seductive right now... okay... I don't want to hurt you" kissing Ken on the lips for a moment is enough to calm Lex

****

The next day, in the airport.

Ken and Lex are sitting in the waiting area, waiting for Lex's flight which scheduled at nine this morning.

"Is it still hurt?" Out of blue Lex asking such a question

Upon hearing the question, Ken is frowning and looking at Lex "Huh?" he didn't get it at first but then he is blushing "I'm okay... don't worry" he just got it; Lex must asking for how well his body feels right now after that harsh night.

"Don't forget to apply the medicine, don't talk to much with the neighborhood especially those girls... I can be jealous easily" Lex have a sip of his coffee, he really gets jealous easily whenever Ken is interacting with girls, they're tending to touch when they're speaking and Lex doesn't really like it. At first, Lex doesn't care this much if Ken talks or into skin ship with someone but it's different now.

"Ha ha...you sound like a possessive mom," Ken is laughing

"I don't care" Lex gently caressing Ken's back; he wants to stay and take care of Ken.

"It's almost the time, Let's go" Ken checking on his watch.

Walking together to the security check, Lex slower his steps on purpose. He wanted to make sure if Ken walking normally or limping, and yes, his walks is little bit limping and the regret hits on Lex's heart once again.

Back to side by side walking with Ken, Lex softly pats Ken's head then speaks in a very small voice, "I want to kiss you" his heart beat faster.

Pretending not to hear what Lex just said, Ken continue walking.

Lex hold Ken hand, pulling him to the rest room.

****

Ken is now laying down on the bed after back to their apartment.

"Lex...you really are going to make me die" he is murmuring alone

Just hours ago, Lex did something unexpected at the airport.
