Chapter 3: Kai likes a man in uniform, but men in uniform are unkind

The thing about Kai, she was very optimistic about the small things. Maybe it was her environment that made her this way, but she didn’t let small disappointments drag her down.

It was four years since she moved to Seoul now, and she was very much adjusted to the bumps in the night. She had gotten enough money to get a new apartment, large enough for her and Duri to walk around comfortably, although it was near her first apartment. And by near, I mean right above it and an apartment over, it was that close. She was used to the area around her, and she didn’t want to separate Duri from the seven boys that were basically her uncles.

She even suddenly had free time, with her daughter starting Kindergarten, and her job doing so well they had to hire another receptionist. So, she took this well-deserved day off with open arms.

After dropping Duri off at school, Kai took a deep breath and walked through the city. Yes, although she lived here, she rarely explored the city. With this free day, she wanted to savor her thoughts and spend the morning window shopping.

During her shopping spree, she got a call from Jeongin. It was unlike him to call her on his shift, and especially this early in the afternoon. He shouldn’t be at lunch yet.

“Hey dude, what’s up?” Kai asked after she stepped away from the line she just stepped into to checkout. “Need something?”

“So, remember the time I helped you get out of that really bad date? You said you would help me with anything, right?” Jeongin sounded desperate.

“I am not sleeping with you, Innie,” Kai joked, getting a gag from the other end. “Hey!” She laughed in faux offence.

“No, I am not asking for that!” Kai could hear the flustered tone he sported. “It’s something different.”

“Shoot, go for it.” Kai clicked her tongue against her cheek.

“So, you know my roommate, Changbin, went into the military, like, two years ago?” Jeongin started, papers ruffling in the background and voices being muffled.

“Mmhm, I vaguely remember you being upset about it.” Kai thought back to that day. Jeongin was so upset, Minho was busy consoling the younger man: Kai knew he was also upset, but he wanted Jeongin to be his priority.

Jeongin made a hum of acknowledgement about that day.

“Well, he just got discharged from the military.” Jeongin muttered.

“Oh! That's great! I know you’ve been missing him, when is he coming home?” Kai smiled.

“That's the thing, he flies in in two hours and you’re the only one in the group that I trust enough to drive. He has no other way to get home otherwise.” Jeongin said.

“Two hours?? You didn’t think to ask me before today?” Her brows furrowed, biting her lip nervously.

“I just found out five minutes ago from his superior. Please, Kai, I know it’s your day off, but I could really-” Jeongin starts to ramble, before Kai cuts him off by sighing.

“Innie, please don’t apologize. It’s fine, I’m fine with bringing him back.”

“Thank you, Kai-”

“But.” She cuts him off again, causing the male to hold his breath.

“But?” Jeongin’s hesitant voice sounded a little later as Kai stared at the tile in thought.

“You are buying me lunch, foxy.” Kai teased him. Jeongin breathed a sigh of relief.

“Okay, can do. Pick me up in ten?”

“Sure, clinic?”

“Yeah, bye.”

“See you soon, Qīn,” Kai teased, knowing he would get flustered by the term. Jeongin sputtered on the other end before Kai hung up, causing a little laugh to escape from Kai. She put her items back (it was just a new throw pillow that Han or Hyunjin would like) and walked briskly to the parking lot to get her car.

It was a cute little red car, only meant to fit five people. But it was big enough for her, even if it was almost older than her. She slung her purse onto the booster seat behind her.

She was a little late, by five minutes, picking up Jeongin, ready to hear him tease her, but he was quiet. Kai frowned and set her hand on his knee, squeezing softly for his reassurance. He was tense, but allowed the touch, hand resting over hers.

It wasn’t a surprise to their friends when Kai and Jeongin got close. The two youngest were always on good terms, and he was the older brother she never had. However, what shocked her the most was Duri and Han. It was fascinating when Duri became close with Han, since Kai and him weren’t the best of friends when they first met. She even calls him Imobu, which Kai was surprised by. She knows she’s never taught her daughter that word, but Han was elated.

The ride to Incheon airport was silent for the hour. Her radio had broken and Jeongin was too nervous to even speak, jittery to see his friend after two whole years of not speaking to him. He wasn’t even able to come home for the holidays, much to the friend group’s dismay. Kai had seen pictures of Changbin before he entered the military, and she found him handsome, albeit a little scrawny, like a boy-next-door type. Her own type was more of the toned, muscular type anyway.

Finally finding a parking spot after thirty minutes, Jeongin leapt out of the car, pacing back and forth. Kai locked her car, hand clutching the back of Jeongin’s jacket, so he had something to ground himself on (and to prevent him from running off. This man needed a leash). Jeongin gulped loudly, and Kai ran her hands through his hair to calm him down, getting a shy and grateful smile back.

The airport wasn’t as busy as it usually was, due to it being a random Wednesday in February, and no holidays coming up. Jeongin was confident in where he was going, and soon Kai was the one being tugged along like she was on a leash.

Kai and Jeongin stood at Gate 13, Kai standing casually while Jeongin was bouncing on the balls of his feet. Surprisingly, the boy kept growing, even when he was climbing towards his mid-twenties. He was closing in on 180 cm, while she still stayed at 160, her envying him for his wonderful height. He had teased her for being short before, but stopped when a furious Duri was throwing a tantrum over people “disrespecting her mother”. He walked away with tiny bruises after her tiny feet kicked him especially hard.

The gate started emptying out, and the first guy to leave was a man in camo and in a wheelchair, being pushed by a man dressed identically. Kai didn’t think anything of it until Jeongin surged forward, almost leading her to face plant in the middle of the airport gate. Kai led out a yell, gaining a couple curious eyes before she corrected herself.

Kai followed Jeongin, scolding him for almost making her eat shit, before the words died in her throat.

The guy in the wheelchair was incredibly buff, I'm talking shoulders broader than her torso, thick biceps tight in his camo uniform, and even thicker thighs. Kai swallowed hard, eyes going up to his face, which wore a hard expression as he glared at nothing-in-particular. Kai looked over him once more, before noticing an obvious loss in his left pant leg and no second army boot.

Oh, Kai thought. Oh no, what happened?

“Changbin-hyung!” Jeongin cried, gaining the older man’s attention. Changbin let out a small grunt, acknowledging the younger as he squeezed his forearm. Changbin’s eyes drifted to Kai, who straightened up and bowed deeply, hair falling back over her shoulders at the quick move.

“Hello,” Kai spoke in a formal way, thinking it was appropriate for a first greeting. “I’m Kai, one of Innie’s friends.” She rose from her bow and put on one of her friendliest smiles.

He gave Kai a tight-lipped smile, it didn’t reach his eyes. Jeongin was busy talking with his commanding officer, the one who wheeled him out, and Kai stood there awkwardly, fiddling with the edge of her graphic tee.

Jeongin sighed, taking the handles of Changbin’s wheelchair with the army duffel bag slung on his back. It was light, maybe five pounds, and rattled slightly. Kai led the way out the airport, keeping a close eye on the two men as she walked to her car. That was when she realized it.

“Are you able to get in yourself?” Kai asked Changbin, holding the door open. He grunted, nodding, before standing on his right leg and sliding into the cooled car. Kai took the wheelchair and sat it in the trunk (thankfully it was a hatchback), securing it with a seatbelt.

The ride was silent, and thankfully Jeongin was less nerve-wrecked than before. The moment Kai entered her apartment parking garage, Jeongin let out an “oh shit” under his breath.

“Hm?” Kai turned her head to him once she parked in her spot.

“Hey, can I speak to you for a second?” Jeongin bit his lip. Kai’s brows furrowed, taking a glance at Changbin.

“D’you think you’ll be okay for second while he talks to me?” Kai asked, getting a half-hearted smile from the man. She smiled back, although it was slightly forced. She exited the car, her nervous senior on her tail. They stood a few feet away, not knowing Changbin could still hear everything they were going to say.

“Changbin-hyung needs to stay at your apartment.” Jeongin said. Kai choked on her spit, shooting him a warning glare.

“Innie, I know he’s your friend, but I’m not comfortable letting a stranger that hasn’t said a word to me around my daughter. Why can't he stay with you, or Chan? You guys know him way better than I do!” Kai objected, crossing her arms and cocking her hip to the side.

“My apartment doesn’t have a wheelchair ramp or elevator and I'm near the top floor of a seven-story building. Chan-Hyung can't fit anything else in that apartment, let alone a grown man with belongings and a wheelchair.”

Kai sighed, fingers pulsing towards her temple. She bit her lip, before nodding. “Okay, he can live with me. But if he turns out to be a creep or something, I’m blaming you.” Kai shot him a pointed look, to which he nodded frantically, hands clapping together to show his gratitude. “C’mon you weirdo,” Kai snorted, pushing him towards her car.

It took less time getting the wheelchair out than in, due to Jeongin practically ripping the seatbelt in two. Kai smacked him upside the head, glaring at him as she scolded him.

Changbin sat silently, eyes distant as Jeongin shook his shoulder, before he came too. He barely gave Kai a glance as he got into his chair, holding himself straight. Kai bit her lip nervously: This was going to be interesting.

“I’m so sorry about the mess,” Kai said as she entered her apartment. She quickly slid on her slippers, picking up all the tripping hazards along the way. Changbin didn’t say anything as he watched her pick up the almost-spotless-apartment.

The floors were light bamboo, and the walls were white, Posters of music bands and papers of children’s drawings were taped to the walls, bringing color to the dull apartment. The apartment had a nice chamomile scent, mixed with the stench of crayons and baby powder. There wasn’t much furniture, except a dollhouse in the corner, a bookshelf with a few Mandarin and English texts, and a desk, littered with kindergarten homework and basic math textbooks.

“I only have two rooms; one is a kid’s room, so you probably don't want to sleep in a pink racecar bed,” Kai chuckled to herself, getting another blank stare from the older man. “You can take my room; I can sleep on the couch since it is comfortable. I’ll make sure everything is clean, make yourself at home.” Kai bowed, before scurrying into the room closest to where they were.

Changbin rolled his eyes after her nervous form before rolling into the living area. The Tv stand had few nicknacks, a framed photo of Kai and the guys at a child’s birthday party, a banner reading “4” is seen in the background. They all looked so genuinely happy, the spectacle making Changbin’s stomach churn with hate. The space he would've been in was replaced by her, and he hated it.

About half an hour later, Kai comes out with a smile. “It’s ready, do you want to see?” she asked, cocking her head to the side. Changbin resisted the urge to groan with annoyance, why did everyone treat him like a baby? He nodded, rolling after her as she padded softly to the master bedroom.

A queen-sized bed sat on the furthest wall, sitting under a large window, sheer blue curtains framing the bed. White linen made up the bed, smelling like fresh linen and lavender, and a little like Vanilla. It made the room less sad.

The rest of the room was barren, only her bed and a small dresser sat on the other wall. It looked like she had just moved in, despite her living in the “new” apartment for about two years now. “It’s not much, but it’s home.” Kai whispered, turning to the older man.

“What food do you like? I can make it, if you’d like.” Kai offered, hands coming up and holding her hands in front on her chest, clutched together.

“’m not hungry,” Changbin grunted out, voice hoarse from not talking and not drinking anything in the past few hours. The first words he spoke to Kai, and she was elated.

“I’m sure you are, I was told you eat like a champ.” Kai smiled, trying to lighten the tense mood. “Now, c’mon, what do you want? I can make bulgogi, or yubuchobap, or-” She got interrupted by him looking up at her with a glare.

“Don’t you ever shut up? I am not hungry, woman!” He yelled, standing up before he fell due to him being unbalanced.

“Oh my god, are you okay?! Here, let me-” Kai crouched down, hands reaching out to help him up before he slapped them away roughly. He was positively seething, nostrils flaring as his face turned red.

“Leave me alone!” He yelled at her, shoving her back away from him. Kai shrieked as she lost balance and fell backwards, head slamming against the doorframe making stars swim around her vision. The room fell silent, all that was heard was heavy breathing, as the two looked at each other. Kai’s eyes were wide with fear as Changbin closed his eyes in frustration.

Kai stood up, the room dizzy as she exited the room, thick tension filling the apartment. Kai jumped as she heard a door slam, tears welling up in her eyes, her head throbbing with pain.

Her phone went off, startling her out of her daze. Kai picked up the phone before answering it. The school had called because it was already past pick up time and Duri was getting more antsy. “Shi- shoot, I’ll be there soon. Something came up and I didn’t look at the time. I’m 15 minutes away, tell my daughter that I didn’t forget about her, okay? Thank you!” She hung up quickly, grabbing her purse and rushing out the door.

Changbin jumped slightly when the front door slammed. He was sitting on the bed, his left leg pulled out of his pants. His leg ended just below his knee; a scar ran from where the skin was sewn shut up to his hip where they put a new titanium hip in. Changbin choked back tears, head slipping into that awful, cloudy space.

He felt worthless; it was an accident that could have been prevented. But now, he was reminded of his mistake every time he opened his eyes. The scar was an ugly pink thing, splitting into several different directions from the skin grafting. Now he felt uglier than ever, even before he left for the military.

Because after all, he thought. Who would ever tolerate or love a thing so ugly?

Self indulgent a little with the fear of being replaced bit :D Blonde changbin my beloved
