To Be Someone Like Me.

Man On the Side.

‘In my life, I love you more.’

Less than an hour ago, you whispered that to me. It’s a part of lyrics from our favorite song, right?

We both know what it means, but it doesn’t change the fact that we have to deal from now on.

I took a walk at the beach by myself; as you probably on your way to the airport right now. Walking barefoot with the black formal suit in my hand, I can feel the sand touched my skin. I can taste the saltiness in the air as the wind breezed welcome me to this loneliness.

The pang of devastation still there and the fresh wound is still open.
I might swim into the endless sea of jealousy.

It hurts so much I cannot believe this is really happening I just try to close my eyes and take a breath.
But no matter how hard, no matter how sad, I realized as I open my eyes,
The fact wouldn’t change. Not for me, and not for you.

Life is too short, they said, to be live in regret.
We used to laugh under the starless night, holding each other’s hand and looking at the darkness in front of us, hoping that there’s a star coming out for us. Even just one.
But no, there isn’t.
It’s like even the universe wants to tell us that we are not meant to be.

Life is just once, they said, to be spend with the wrong one.
We used to think, how do we know that the person is the wrong or the right one?
The answer is just that we will know when we feel is right.
But the question is what if that person is not for you to keep?
Will he or she become the wrong one?

You always wakes me up with a kiss, saying that the morning is come, so you really has to go.
I always make you some breakfast, hoping that you will stay a minute longer.

You always sing to me before I closed my eyes at night, your love is just like that to me; bring peaceful at my heart.
I always pray for your happiness and you knows that it was my biggest gift I’ve ever give for you.

Your big innocent eyes that caught my attention from the first time we met.
Your laugh that just like a bell in my ears.
Your honest tears every time you remembered the guilt.

As today has passed, everything is just going to be nothing but memories.

So now I closed my eyes again. Trying to memorize for the last time before I really have to put it into the Pandora box inside my mind, that I should never touch again, and not to open for a life time.

You moves gracefully with the white long gown. Smiling as you saw me.
But even more brightly to someone else beside you. Kim Kibum.
As I remembered that, I open my eyes. Here goes my best friend.

I laughed pathetically at myself. Do I still deserve to be his best friend in this state?
After I fell in love with his precious one. After I made the girl fell into my arms so willingly behind his back.
What kind of best friend am I? What kind of best man am I?

But then again, in life there always be someone like me.
To give this restless world the balance that everyone never realized they needs.
To mark an angel there should be a devil.

To the world, Choi Minho is the one with angelic smile and gentle heart.
To the world, Kim Kibum is the one with cold eyes and ambitious persona.
But in my world, I’m the so-called evil to his different blood twin.

It should be finished.
It’s already is.
I just can’t cope with it.

I don’t know how to.
The smiling Minho who never felt like this before.
I just-

Wait.
I heard someone called my name.
Is it you?
I really hope it is.

But as the voice becomes near, so close to my ear, I know it’s not you.
It would never be you.
I turned my head.

A pair of hand reached out and took mine.

“Minho? I’ve been looking for you.”

It’s her. The one that really is mine.
Why did she even bother to find someone who doesn’t want to be found?
But her cold hand startled me in a way.

‘The one with cold hands have a warm heart.’ You said to me once.

“Minho?” She called me again.

“Yes?” I said to her, unwillingly.

She shook her head and answers, “Nothing, it’s just I feel lucky to have you.”

I laugh as I wrapped my arm around her. But I’m not really laughing.
With her cold hands I held right now, with her warm heart I should be protect from now on,
I knew I was doomed forever.

Like I said, my presence is important for the world.
To remind the others about the guilt, the loneliness, the pain.
The curse of being someone like me.

i thought the beginning could have been stronger if it was a bit~ clearer. i was kinda confused in the first half of the story, debating on whether i should go on cause i thought this was a minkey fanfic -___- (kind of afraid of /gay fanfics...)<br />
<br />
anyway i like the concept of the story :)<br />
<br />
the story's just... intruiging and different.<br />
Minho, in love with his best friend's fiance, knowing it's a sin, but still going on with it<br />
Key, most likely clueless to everything, marrying a woman cheating on him<br />
<br />
gah. if i was the girl i'd feel horrible too.

Oh, Minho~. *insert sadface here*<br />
<br />
I read this the day you posted it, but I was too tired and stressed to comment so I decided to leave it for another time [which is today XD]. Besides, it wouldn't be right to give a half assed comment in general.<br />
<br />
Anyway. Minho as an anti-hero! I like~ XD Logically, what he's done is something not everybody approves of because he had a choice not to give in to temptation and nurse the feelings he harbors for his best friend's girlfriend. He knew she was taken and yet he let his emotion cloud his rationality which, in turn, made the girl have a change of heart and give in as well. But on the flip side, sometimes people do not choose or ask who they fall for. Perhaps he just happened to have been caught in a situation where he found the right person at the wrong time, therefore making their love "wrong". [Although who's to say if a love is wrong or right is another issue altogether because this can always be interpreted differently by people.]<br />
<br />
I feel sorry for Key and Minho's girlfriend because they have no idea that the people they love have stabbed them in the back. But just the same, Minho and the love interest are also victims of this unfortunate predicament.<br />
<br />
This reminds me so much of a one-shot I wrote in the past with a marginal difference in length XD But the length of this story is good as it is; it's not as long but it explains enough. I'm not a fan of John Mayer so I have no idea what the song sounds like/is about, but the title is truly fitting if only for Minho's situation in this even if he is the protagonist of the story. The angel and devil reference is nicely tied in and I thought at first a good portion of the fic would dwell on it, making me a bit wary because this is just one of those references that, aside from being overused, irks me a lot because it tends to get fatally cheesy when not done right ^^;;<br />
<br />
Twas a good read. Thank you for sharing~ ^^

HAHAA pain, but Minho's not really innocent after all, so yeah, he got his punishment *evil smirk*..

hehee noope it's actually one POV, Minho's..<br />
'You' is the girl Minho really loves, and also Key's girlfriend.<br />
while the other girl near the end is Minho's real girlfriend..<br />
im sooo sorry if i made you or the other reader confused.
