Letters to Sungmin

"I can't be with you, Donghae ah..."
he said, believing he only whispered Donghae's name. He turned his back from the tree and started walking away.

**************************
"Donghae ah..."

Donghae looked back thinking someone called him softly. His heartbeats fast as he saw a lonely back starting to move away. He
swallowed. He knows he haven't had a good look at Hyukjae physically but he knows that presence.

He smiled as his eyes started becoming watery. That presence, as if everything is fine as long as its Hyukjae.

The man started walking away making Donghae stand up. He run towards him and stretched his arm and wrapped it around the other
man's waist.

As soon as Hyukjae froze from walking, Donghae closed the distance between his chest and Hyukjae's back. Donghae rested his
head on the latter's shoulder and closed his eyes. His other arm s around Hyukjae's body as well, close to his chest and
almost reaching the shoulder.

"Stop walking away from me, Hyukjae ah..."

Hyukjae swallowed when he heard the voice. He was already shocked with the thought that someone's hands s around his body
but those words...that voice. Donghae ah.
Hyukjae wanted to turn his back to see if it really is Donghae but the latter tightened his hold thinking he wanted to run away
again.

"I won't let go...otherwise you'll run away."
He breathe out and feel Hyukjae's back being this close for the first time. The warmth of his back make him feel comfortable
like being cuddled to sleep.

"D-donghae ah..." Hyukjae called.

Is it really him? Is Donghae really holding on to him? Because it feels so warm, it feels so wonderful.

"Stop playing hard to get Lee Hyukjae, stop running away from me." Donghae whispered when he felt like Hyukjae won't be struggling
anymore. He cuddled his head on Hyukjae's shoulder with his eyes closed and with a smile like that of a child.

Hyukjae chuckled as he turned around to face Donghae. They met each other's eyes. Hyukjae could swear he'll melt in those
eyes, the sparkling eyes that he wished to look at for the rest of his life. Those eyes are now on him. He can see
his confused self in it.

"Donghae ah... it was all my fault." he said with a serious face.

Donghae nodded while showing a duck face making Hyukjae wonder stupidly. Is Donghae acknowledging his mistake? Somehow he felt
quite disappointed that Donghae agreed that it is his fault. He could have at least say some encouraging words.

"It's all your fault, you silly bastard." Hyukjae looked down and missed Donghae's smile and stare that wonders around his
disappointed face. Donghae cannot remember that he is upset, that this man in front of him run away from the hospital just so
he can avoid him. All he wants to do is to and to be close to him.

"Everything happened because of you. It's all your fault, Lee Hyukjae." Hyukjae sighed and accepted those words; gentle yet
semi-poisonous words if there is such a term.

Donghae smiled widely when he saw Hyukjae looking really guilty. He stepped forward and wrapped his arms around Hyukjae's
neck making the latter widen his eyes. Is Donghae some kind of bipolar? At one point he's blaming Hyukjae and then he will
comfort him?

"It's all your fault...so you have to take care of me." Donghae whispered on his ear.

Hyukjae slightly turned to Donghae. Their cheeks met and he can smell that sweet scent of the latter's hair. Is Donghae in the
right mind? Or Hyukjae is just hallucinating? He doesn't know what to answer. He could just feel the warm body, the soft cheeks
and the smooth skin wrapped around him.

"Yah...that's it?" Donghae said standing straight and now facing him, arms still around Hyukjae's neck.  "I'm the only one who
must do the talking?"

"Donghae ah..." Hyukjae called. What is he supposed to say?

Donghae rolled his eyes as he sees Hyukjae's stupid and dumbfounded reaction. He sighed and shook his head.

"Alright... Fine. Let's not talk anymore." Donghae said making a straight face, arms still around the latter's neck. Hyukjae
was threatened with what he said and was about to say something.

"But-"

Before he could even say whatever it is that he wanted to say, Donghae pressed his lips next to his. This is his chance afterall,
Hyukjae might want to change his mind again and leave him. He cannot believe that Hyukjae can be too sissy in person. He should
have known he should be the aggressive one. Or is Hyukjae having a change of heart? Who cares, damn it?! All Donghae wants to
do is to feel Hyukjae's lips next to him.

Hyukjae swallowed the moment Donghae's lips reached his slightly open one. He swore it felt the same when he opened his eyes
after his long sleep in the hospital. He still doesn't realise that it was real and that he was too weak to think it is real.
He looked at Donghae's closed eyes, he's just so beautiful that Hyukjae didn't bother closing his eyes and respond to
Donghae's warm kiss instead he continuously watch the latter pressing his lips on him. Seriously, how can someone be this
beautiful even with eyes closed?

Donghae slowly opened his eyes as he move his lips away. He saw Hyukjae just staring at him. He pouted slightly like that of a
child. Hyukjae find it adorable, he thought he'd want to keep him close to his bed like a stuffed toy.

"You don't want to kiss as well?" Donghae complained as he sighed and dropped his shoulder. Why is Hyukjae being so difficult?!

"You're so beautiful."

Hyukjae still looking at Donghae's face, which is close to him as the latter's hands rest on his chest.

"I know. So why are you playing hard to get?!"

Hyukjae chuckled shyly and bit his lips as he felt his face burning. He looked at Donghae looking at him challenging him to do
the first move this time. This is really it, for Hyukjae. They are really together; standing at the same ground, under the same
sky, living at the same time and beating the same rhythm of the heart.

He breathe out a sigh. "Donghae ah... I've hurt you so much and you still choose me." he looked down guiltily. Donghae rolled his
eyes again. This Lee Hyukjae is just finding an excuse not to make the first move. Yah!
"Why did you..."

"It's definitely NOT because you're handsome."

Hyukjae looked up and chuckled again. "Hyukjae ah... I didn't choose you because you were hot back then while dancing. I
choose you because that's what my heart tells me. I don't need reasons for choosing you. I just listen to what my heart says."

Donghae tilted his head to another side and looked at Hyukjae's face. "I've waited for you to come and find me but you're
suffering on your own for a long time. Do you know how sad I felt? I've waited long enough to be with you. Stop playing hard
to get."

Hyukjae nodded and smiled at him. His placed his hand on Donghae's cheek and carressed it. He sighed and looked down shyly while
chuckling to himself. "Ah...this feels so real."

Donghae smiled widely and showing his uneven teeth for a smile. Hyukjae was mesmerized once again. Right
now, the loveliest, most beautiful person is in his arms, his eyes twinkle for him and those lips smile for him...right now,
what more could he ask for?

"You can just kiss me." From earlier it is Kyuhyun, now it is Donghae... he didn't realise that people can be a good mind
reader when they reached 2011, he should learn from them.

"Aish~ Why is this fellow being so sissy-"

Hyukjae suddenly hold Donghae in his cheeks and draw his face closer making the latter shut up. He didn't know Donghae has a
short patience, not that it's bad since he wants to kiss him as well~

Hyukjae rubbed his thumb around Donghae's cheeks and looked at the whole of his face before slowly and gently kissing the
latter's forehead. He met Donghae's eyes shortly and kissed his nose as well. Hyukjae paused for a while to look at himself
in Donghae's eyes. Donghae happily waited for the former to reach for his lips before closing his eyes and holding onto Hyukjae's
hand making circles in it as well.

When they separated, they smiled and suddenly felt awkward. Donghae looked down blushing and then turned to him.

"So..." he started.

Hyukjae bit his lips and turned to Donghae again. He held the latter's hand tightly and looked at him.

"Let's just do this for a while." Hyukjae said.

"What?"

Hyukjae turned to him and meet his eyes. "We've been trapped in letters for years. I want to savour this."

"huh-?"

Hyukjae pressed his lips again, this time deeper and more passionate. Donghae chuckled in between movements of their mouth. He
didn't really expect it since the former is playing hard to get since a while ago... well, not that he's complaining or anything.
In fact, he slowly wrapped his arms around Hyukjae's neck, raising his shoulders up for more contact.

Hyukjae opened his eyes slightly and saw Donghae's eyes closed and seemed to be so engross in kissing back so he held the latter's
waist and make the kiss even more deeper.

If we were to be trapped in time again... let it be like this.

Chapter 15: So I was right after all. Hyukjae was the one Siwon thought Hae cheated on him with. And I was right about some kind of accident to Hyuk for him not to be around. Now the new question is, is Hyukjae in some kind of coma or is he in a mental hospital from his head getting hit so hard? Also did he lose his memory?
Thanks for this chapter.

Chapter 13: OK so now I really think I know the mystery. Did something happen to Hyukjae while he was on the way to meet Hae? Could he be in a hospital from some kind of accident? Or maybe Siwon found Hyukjae first...humm
Nice chapter.
