Tragedy

For The Rest Of My Life

Flowers are blooming. Sun is shining. Birds are chirping. It's spring. People are going out on the weekend to see beautiful flowers with various colours and various type. Nothing is more beautiful than nature.

In the mansion, Mrs. Kim is currently knitting when suddenly someone knock the door making her hands stop and look at the door. Maybe it's her husband. She put down her undone-masterpiece on the table then walk towards the main door.

Twisted the knob, the door is opened wide, revealing her husband with a cute little kid holding his hand. The kid looks up at her with his big shiny eyes.

Mrs. Kim's lips curl up into a smile and she almost cry at the sight of her husband holding a kid. She always wanted a kid - a boy at that. Yet no matter what they did, her tummy won't be filled with another living creature. It's been almost 10 years. Since then, her hope to get a kid gone, just like that.

But now, not anymore. Mr. Kim let go of the boy's hand and his wife pick the kid up. The boy just look into her eyes innocently. She smile softly as her lips lean towards his forehead and give him a soft peck and at that moment, her tears of happiness fall.

Though he is not from the same blood as hers, she knows Jeon Wonwoo, the 2 years old boy could bring light into her life.

 

As if a miracle happen, as soon as Wonwoo turned 4 years old, Mrs. Kim found out that she is finally pregnant. Mr. Kim can't be even happier than he already is at that time. Same goes to Wonwoo. He is so excited that he is going to get a little brother - or a sister - just like what he wished for.

It had already been 9 months and a week since Mrs. Kim got the news about her pregnancy and now she is inside the operation room, trying all her best, using all of her strength to push out a baby.

She almost felt like giving up but then she thought about Wonwoo. What would he feels if his wish to get a sibling won't come true just because of her selfishness. With all her might, she push out once again. Soon after, a cry of a baby can be heard in the room. 

Her head fell onto the pillow and once again, tears of happiness rolling down her cheeks. Wonwoo got a sibling - a little brother. He won't be lonely anymore. He will have a friend to play with now. He will have someone that he will cherish beside his parents, and his name is Kim Mingyu.

 

It had been 16 years since The Kim's receive two sunshines in their life. Wonwoo is now 20 years old and is now a university student while Mingyu is 16 years old and in his 10th grade. The boys are all grown up to let them to live without the help of their parents.

So, their parents bought them a penthouse nearby the mansion and let both of them live there. Money will be given to them once or twice a week for their expenses and grocery shopping. They aren't really the type to fool around going to a club every night or playing girls heart. They have their own goals to achieve.

It's already midnight. Wonwoo look at the clock as it continue ticking. Mingyu usually had gone to dreamland by now. They might come from rich family yet their discipline towards theirselves is quite high.

Tapping his fingers on the table, he wonder if he should go and check his little brother or not. It's not that he is worried or anything. It's just what a brother should do... right?

Without wasting anytime, he gets off the couch and walk to Mingyu's room then slowly turn the doorknob open, revealing a young boy sleeping on the bed handsomely.

Slowly, he walks towards the bed and sit on an empty spaces at Mingyu's feet as he just stare at his little brother's face. He always wonder, how can one look so attractive even while sleeping?

To him, Mingyu is a very attractive guy. Whatever he did, it will turn out to be attractive. Eating? Attractive. Studying? Attractive. Even him sleeping is attractive. Not to mention his cute little snore he did when he was sleeping. Gosh, it was so cute Wonwoo's heart can't handle it and he admit that his brother is one attractive yet cute guy. That's why he love him so much... as a guy, not brother.

He get up from his seat and lean his face towards Mingyu's, examining his feature that will never fail to bring happiness into his heart. With a soft smile, he leans his lips to Mingyu's forehead and peck it for few seconds before closing the door and walk into his own room to get some sleep.

But, his guess was wrong. As soon as Wonwoo get into his room, Mingyu flutters his eyes open. He felt relieve now. He swears his heart almost jump out of its place when Wonwoo pecked his forehead just now.

He lift up his hand to his forehead. The warmth... Wonwoo's warmth... he like it. No - he loves it.

He love Wonwoo's warmth. He love Wonwoo's presence. He love Wonwoo's smile. He love all of Wonwoo. He love him... more than he should.

 

Next morning came. It's Sunday aka holiday for both of the brothers. Wonwoo is preparing breakfast for both of them as Mingyu dress himself up before he gets out of his room and sit at the dining table, staring at Wonwoo.

Wonwoo on the other hand is flipping the pancake for the last time then move it to a plate filled with whipped cream and strawberry. He then pour some honey onto the pancake and pick up the plate to place it in front of Mingyu.

Mingyu flahs him a small smile before muttering a small thank you and start eating. Wonwoo didn't say anything but eat his pancake and of course, silently watching his little brother eating so deliciously.

"Do you have any plan today, Mingyu," Wonwoo asked. Mingyu lift up his face and blink innocently at him. He swears if he doesn't have any control to himself he would've grab Mingyu and hugs him so tight but he just stay there and wait for Mingyu's answer.

Mingyu shakes his head lightly. "No, I don't have any plan. Why?" Wonwoo think about Mingyu's answer for quite a while. As soon as a light bulb lit up in his mind, he look at Mingyu and flash his rare yet soft smile.

"Dress yourself up after this. We're going somewhere."

 

As promised, both of them are now on the road with Wonwoo driving and Mingyu sleeping. Wonwoo planned on bringing Mingyu to a place where he thought his little brother would love very much. Well, they always went there when they were kids anyway.

Wonwoo had kept his eyes on the road for almost three hours now. He tap the steering lightly with his finger before taking his eyes off the road and glancing at sleeping Mingyu.

Mingyu looks so peaceful - and handsome - when he is sleeping. He loves to watch him sleeping just as much as he loves him. He wants to confess his heart out but he is afraid if their bond would destroy if he did. So, he chose to kept to himself until who knows when.

 

Mingyu can feel a hand shaking his shoulder and a soft voice asking him to wake up from his nap. Slowly, his eyes flutters open and there it is, the view that he loves so much - sea.

He always love the colour of the sea water. He loves the way sand feels on his feet everythime he walks on them. He loves the breeze. He loves everything about the sea. Little did he know, his love for Wonwoo is more than his love to nature.

He get out of the car and walk to the beach in his nike. Inhaling the fresh air, he let out a soft yet relief sigh before turning to his brother with a bright smile.

"Thank you, Wonwoo." His brother just smile and nods his head before walking to his side.

Wonwoo is a bit shorter than Mingyu though he is the older brother. Well, it's not like he mind it tho. He glance at Mingyu just to see how shiny and sparkle Mingyu's eyes is and how bright his smile is. Just seeing him like this is enough to make him happy.

Mingyu put his hands in his pocket before opening his mouth. "Hey, do you remember when we were little? We use to come here and build a sandcastle." Wonwoo just hum softly, indicating yes, yes he do remember.

How can he forget when Mingyu looks so happy and bright that time? His smile never fail to make his heart surprise and beat faster than it normally do. The thought of living together with him is enough to satisfy his heart... maybe.

"Let's build a sandcastle," Mingyu said happily to Wonwoo. The elder look at him with surprise face and blink at him repidly. "But we don't have-"

"It won't hurt to dirtied our hands once in a while," the younger beam brightly. Mingyu walk around the beach to find a good spot to build a sandcastle and with a soft sigh, Wonwoo just follow his little brother around.

"Here! Let's build it here!" Mingyu called for his brother and sit on the sand then start building his sandcastle using nothing but his bare hands. Wonwoo smile again at how childish his lovely brother is. Without waiting any longer, he walks towards his brother and sit in front of him and get his work started.

 

Few hours has passed and the sun is setting down right now. Both of them spend their time together until sunset with just building their beloves sandcastle and both are very proud with the end result.

Their head are not looking at the front, watching the sun going down slowly as the sky slowly turn dark. Both keep their mouth shut yet their hand are so noisy with all the thoughts and possibilites. Mingyu glance at Wonwoo for a few seconds then turn his head back to the front.

Puffing out his cheeks, he thinks whether he should or he shouldn't. Few seconds passed by and he is still thinking about it.

Letting out a soft sigh, his lips curl up into a small smile. "You know Wonwoo, you are the best brother I have ever had and wished for. I don't think I could find a brother like you in this world except you yourself." Me too, Mingyu.

"You always fulfill my wish and need. Always make me happy. There is never a day pass by without happiness." I feel like that too, Mingyu.

"I appreciate you every seconds you live. I appreciate your presence. I appreciate you, Wonwoo." I appreciate you more, Mingyu.

"But I can't handle it anymore..." At that sentence, Wonwoo look at Mingyu and Mingyu look at Wonwoo. Both just spend their time staring at each other's face. They spend their time with appreciating each other's presence.

With a happy smile, Mingyu continued his sentence, "I love you, Wonwoo. I love you more than a brother should love his sibling."

Wonwoo's eyes widened. He would never thought Mingyu would confessed to him. He don't even know that his little brother loves him as much as he love Mingyu. All of this happen too sudden. He thought it was just a one-side love. He thought he was the only one who love Mingyu like that. But, he's wrong.

His love isn't one-sided. He is not the only one who love Mingyu like that either. Why didn't he realize that sooner.

"But, if you won't accept me more than that then it's fine. I understand." Wonwoo searched Mingyu's face. Mingyu is still smiling so happily yet cutely. And what did he said before? He won't accept him more than that? He is totally wrong.

Mingyu was about to get up from his spot when suddenly a hand pull him down and he feels a lips touched with his. There, Wonwoo with his eyes closed is kissing him so passionately.

Wonwoo was never good with expressing his feeling so he thought this is enough to make Mingyu realize that he loves him just like how his little brother love him.

"I promise I will always love you for the rest of my life, Kim Mingyu," he whispered against Mingyu's lips.

With a soft sigh, Mingyu close his eyes and kiss him back with the same feels. Since that moment they know, today is the best day ever in their whole life.

 

It had been a couple months since they had their first kiss. Everything was fine after that day, except it's even more special. Their day would be filled with lots of happiness and some intimacy.

But Wonwoo was a bit different these days. He came home late at night lately. He seems busier. Well, maybe because he will face his examination in a few weeks. Wonwoo did mentioned that he had exam in few weeks so he will be busier and come home later than he usually is.

Mingyu trust his words. Wonwoo never lie to him before and Mingyu trust him a lot not only just as a brother but also as a lover. Well... it's a bit embarrasing to put it that way but that's the truth anyway.

Tho he knew about Wonwoo's schedule, it's a lie if he said he doesn't miss him. He miss him... so much. He miss his voice. His warmth. His touch. He miss all of him. But all he can do now is supporting his big brother so he would pass his exam with flying colours.

Mingyu pass by a bakery and thought if he should buy some bread for both him and Wonwoo. Well, Wonwoo already prepared for his food ever since they live together. This is the right time to pay back for everything he had done.

As soon as he entered the bakery, he can smell the scent of bread. Somehow it calms him. He looks around the shop and his eyes stop at some patries - puff. There are all kind of puffs. Cream, tuna and even blueberry.

Mingyu takes a tray and a tong then put two cream puffs, two tuna puffs and two blueberry puffs. He then head to the counter to pay it before exiting the bakery and continue his journey to his house.

It took him only 15 minutes from his house to school. That's why he prefers to walk rather than use his family driver.

Mingyu inserts his card and wait until the light turn green before taking the card off and push the door open. He looks at the shelf and Wonwoo's shoe is there. Wonwoo is home.

Mingyu's lips curl up into a happy smile as he hurriedly take off his shoes and put the breads on the table then go to Wonwoo's room and twist the door open.

"Won-" His words was cut off by the scene in front of him. Wonwoo, on the bed, shirtless, hovering a lady, who is only in her underwears.

Mingyu's eyes widen. His face clearly shows a suprise expression. His brother... his brother that he trust... and love so much is currently on the bed with a lady underneath him.

The way Wonwoo look at him with such surprise expression makes him sad even more. Maybe this is the reason he always came home late at night. Maybe this is why he was busier than usual. Mingyu had been waiting for him every night for him to come home and this is what he did to him.

"Sorry to interrupt..." Mingyu said lightly as his tears roll down his cheeks and his hand turn into a fist. He bite his lower lips so hard until blood came out. He looks down on the floor and mutters again, "Sorry..."

With that words he ran out of his house.

It all destroyed. Their happiness that both of them built up together. His trust towards Wonwoo. His heart that always see no one but his big brother. Everything is destroyed now. His cry get even louder. His heart crashed even more. All of these times, Wonwoo had been playing with girls behind him.

Due to the sadness, Mingyu didn't realized where he was running. He is now running across the road when suddenly a truck coming from his side. His eyes widen.

Soon, he is lying on the road, blood running out from his head. His vision is blurry yet it doesn't prevent him from seeing Mingyu, with tears running down his cheeks. His lips curl into a small smile, the tears are still coming out of his eyes. His eyes slowly closing by itself and everything went dark after that.

 

"Kim Mingyu!" Wonwoo screamed. He get off the lady and put on his shirt. He was about to leave the girl but the girl held his arms.

"Please... don't leave me." Her voice sounded like she was at a point where she is about to cry. She had always been in love with Wonwoo ever since they were in middle school. But, Wonwoo never looks at her like the way he looks at his younger brother, Mingyu.

She craves his attention. She did everything she could but it never worked until one day, her parents announce that she will get married with Wonwoo. She can't be any happier than that day. She thought the marriage happen because Wonwoo loves her as much as she do.

But she was wrong. The marriage happen just because her parent's company was about to go bankrupt but they can't let that happen.The talked to The Kims about this and they are willing to help them in condition their daughter will get married to their son, Wonwoo.

Though it's just for bussiness matter, she is still happy that she will get married to the man of her dream.

Wonwoo, being the obedient child he is, he agreed to it eventhough he knows it will hurt Mingyu. But, he just can't let his parents feels sad just because his selfishness. His dad always told him that life sometimes need a sacrifice and now, he sacrifice Mingyu for his parents' happiness.

"Please..." She begged. Wonwoo looks away from her and pull his arm away from her softly. "Sorry, I can't do this anymore. Sorry..."

He then ran out of the house, chasing after his little brother and leaving her supposed-to-be fiancee crying.

Wonwoo run around the place, screaming for his little brother's name, hoping Mingyu would hear it but no. Everything happened to fast.

People are crowding by the road. Wonwoo's curiousity rise up. Slowly, he try to get through the people just to be shocked with his brother's body lying on the road, blood running down non-stop.

The one that he cherish the most, the one that he loves the most are now lying on the floor, covered with lots and lots of blood.

Wonwoo fell on his knee. His cry get even louder. He doesn't want to believe it but he has to. It's in front of him right now and there is no way he could deny it.

Wonwoo cup his face. His head filled with sadness and regret. If only he refused his parents decision, non of this would happen. But, it's already too late. Everything had crashed down now.

And all of this happened because of no other but himself.

 

"Mingyu, hurry up or we will be late for the dinner," Mrs. Kim said to her one and only son. "Yes, mom," Mingyu answered as he fix his tie in front of the mirror. He checks himself for one last time before giving himself a nod.

After the accident happened, Mingyu came back to his life. Everything was fine and normal. He remembers and recognize everyone eventhough the doctor said there is a major damage in his brain which 80% would lead to memory lost.

Luckily he didn't lose his memory. That's what he thought.

The moment he opened his eyes, he immediately recognize his parents. He went to school like he usually did. He talks to each of his friends. None of his memory lost. He remembers everything. From he was little until now. But, he did lost his memory.

He forgot how he was in the hospital. He forgot what happened before he came to the hospital. And the biggest memory is, he forgot him. He forgot his older brother. He forgot his lover. He forgot about Jang Wonwoo.

He takes his shoe from the shelf and wear it fastly yet neatly. He can't be late for dinner with his soon-to-be parents in law and of course, with his loved ones - his new lover - Bae Joohyun.

He had always had his eyes on her ever since he entered college. She is so kind and sweet. She is nice to everyone. Most importantly, her touch feels so soft and somehow it feels familiar. But, he already forgot who gave him those touch. Not like it's important now.

Mingyu is all ready to go when suddenly he felt a tug on his coat. He looks behind him and see no one. Strange. Without wasting any time, he get out of the house and walks towards the car then get inside it.

What he didn't notice is, Wonwoo was the one who tugged his coat earlier. Wonwoo had always watch him from behind and protect him silently. Though Mingyu had already forgot about him, he never - not even once forgot about his little brother.

He never forget his love towards Mingyu. He had always love him. Sometimes it pains him that Mingyu forgot about him and that he doesn't have any feelings towards his loder brother.

Well, it can't be help anymore. He knew this would happen when he ends his life at the river on the day Mingyu admitted to a hospital.

Regret already filled his whole body that day and he can't do anything but blame himself for what happened. He thought he would never make anyone sad but he already made two people cried because of him in only a day.

He can't think straight. It's all because of him that the incident happened. So he chose to end his life so that when Mingyu woke up, he won't feel hurt because of what he did to the one he love and cherish the most.

"I will love you for the rest of my life." He mutters that when both of them had their first kiss by the beach.

As Wonwoo watch the car going out the gate from Mingyu's room, he turn to his little brother's study table and pick up the frame with him and Mingyu standing by to each other.

Mingyu asked his parents before who is the one standing beside him and they said, "He... He is... Your childhood friend..."

It's a lie if those words didn't hurt him but he had to face the reality. His parents said that because they doesn't want Mingyu to feel hurt or sad due to the lose of his older brother that he loves and cherish so much.

Wonwoo's lips curl into a small smile.

"I promise to love you for the rest of my life..." Tears olling down his cheeks without he even realize.

"Now, I promise to love you for the rest of your life..."
