strangers...
My Dying Love
Sungmin's eyes are closed as he pressed the last few notes on his piano keys in his own music room. He opened his eyes and found
himself crying. This is what he wants Kyuhyun to sing, hopefully. He took his pencil and was about to write on his music sheet but
dropped it shortly. He immediately took the pencil from the floor and signed his name on the paper and stood up. He placed the
sheets in his bag and went out of his music room.
"Umma, I'm going." he said carrying his bag and hooking it on his shoulder.
"Medicines?" Lee Umma asked. He turned and smiled.
"Taken and kept in my bag." he turned his back and started walking again.
"Water?"
"Got it."
"Kiss?"
Sungmin smiled and turned to walk towards his mom. "I purposely forgot that." he said and give a light kiss on his mother's cheek.
"Bye, Umma." he said and completely left. Lee Umma just smiled and watches her son leaves.
*************************************************
Kyuhyun has just finished the most boring and rather unrelatively related subject in this Performance school- Finance. He went out
of the room lazily and slowly, instead of racing with his classmates to get out of the boring room. He looked down, how long has
it been since he last saw Sungmin? How is he? Is he still feeling any sort of pain? Is someone watching over him? What if something
like the last time happens to him and he's not around to help the older? He sighed. How long does it take for someone to move on?
He knows better not to think of the older but how could he? His brain is at war with his heart, one says forget about that sickly
person, the other one say think about him you silly idiot. He doesn't know which side he should listen to. Either way they still
both have Sungmin inside and it's driving him crazy.
"Kyuhyun ah..."
See? He is even becoming delusional. Sungmin won't be here to call him in that way; in that sweet, gentle way. Not anymore. He
had to remember that it was his choice that day, in the hospital. He shouldn't think about the older. He sighed. Now just making
himself not to think of Sungmin makes him think about him more. Yah, Cho Kyuhyun, stop being complicated!
"Kyuhyun ah..."
There it is again. Stop thinking of that person! He sighed and closed his eyes shortly and was a little bit shocked when he sees
Sungmin standing in front of him. What?
"I've been calling you, you don't seem to hear me." Sungmin said, bitterly? His eyes on the floor, hands are holding piece of...
music sheets. Kyuhyun is still battling with his brain so he just stare at the older. What is he doing here anyway?
Sungmin sighed when there is no word coming out of Kyuhyun's mouth. Can he just say a word or something? Sungmin extended his
hand with the music sheet. "I promised to write a song for you. Here."
Kyuhyun took the music sheet eyes meeting Sungmin's eyes. "I thought you said it's a song for me to sing." The older shrugged his
shoulders.
"Yeah." he placed his hand awkwardly at his pants' back pocket while Kyuhyun scan his work.
Sungmin pursed his lips a bit as he sees the young man showing no reaction at all. Have they become strangers now that they have
broken up? Is this the only treatment he'll ever receive from the young man? He felt like Kyuhyun has become so distant from him,
like that when he was just watching the young man standing up in the bus. That's how he feel like now. Like Kyuhyun doesn't know
his existence.
He slightly opened his mouth and breath from there, tears trying to escape. He bit his lips as there is still silence so he has
decided to break it.
"I'm doing what you've told me to do." he said and finally Kyuhyun looked up to him. "I'm leaving school soon. The doctors adviced me
to stop my school activities and stay far from the city..."
Kyuhyun's heart crashed like a fragile thin glass that has fallen to pieces. How many times did his heart died from the moment he killed
himself by breaking up with the man in front of him? Sungmin is leaving school. Kyuhyun still didn't
say anything. What can he say? He doesn't even know how to acknowledge his longing for this man's presence. Sungmin tried smiling
while looking down. "I just want you to know that." he met Kyuhyun's eyes shortly and sighed once again.
"When are you leaving?" finally, words came out from his mouth!
Sungmin nodded "Probably before the showcase. I'd still hope you can sing that song." he pressed his lips together while sharing
an awkward silence with Kyuhyun.
Before the showcase? Should it really be before the showcase?! Kyuhyun looked calm but he is panicking inside. Sungmin is leaving
before the showcase. What the heck?!
"I promise to sing this song." Kyuhyun said and looked at the music sheet before meeting Sungmin's eyes.
Sungmin brightened up when he heard it. It wouldn't matter if he won't hear it. He just want Kyuhyun
to promise to sing it. He smiled at Kyuhyun, who didn't give any smile at all, an all out bright sunny smile. Kyuhyun swear he missed
those side crinkles that suddenly appeared right now.
"I promise to sing this song. But you have to promise to stay until the showcase."
Sungmin felt like his tears will be exploding soon. Kyuhyun is asking him to stay. It doesn't matter how long he asked him to stay
but Kyuhyun asked him to stay and he's just so glad to hear it.
"You've written this song, you have the right to hear me singing it. I want you to hear me singing it." Kyuhyun said in a gentle
voice, he saw Sungmin's expression; he's mouth is shaking as if stopping himself from sobbing but his eyes twinkle with delight.
Kyuhyun closed his eyes shortly and looked up. He can't stay like this with Sungmin seemingly crying in front of him. He almost
gave his knees up when Sungmin cried in front of him for the first time when he find out he was being paid, and yet again when
the older is dressing up his wound. If he sees Sungmin's tears now he might not know what to do.
Sungmin sighed and smile, holding the tears back. "I'll try." he said and turned his back but stopped after a few steps. "Kyuhyun ah...
Kyuhyun looked up and met his eyes. The older looked down and hesitated but he has decided to ask...
He blinked a few times and then steady his gaze on Kyuhyun. "If I'm not this sick, do you think we're still together?"
It was a question that bothered him for quite some time now. If he is not sick, if he isn't like this, would Kyuhyun stay by his
side? Would he really live up to his promise of spending a lifetime with the older? Sungmin's mind had been occupied with these
questions. Kyuhyun just looked at him, giving the same reaction he had earlier. Sungmin chuckled and turned his back when he
didn't hear an answer at all. "Forget it." he started walking away from Kyuhyun when...
"Sungmin ah..."
He turned again and waited. Kyuhyun looked down and thought for a while before nodding his head. "Yes."
Yes? Yes what? Sungmin just looked at him while Kyuhyun bites his lower lip shortly.
"If you weren't this sick. I'd love to stay with you for a lifetime."
It was his most honest answer and Sungmin felt the sincerity in it. He smiled at the younger sweetly as his eyes blurries in tears.
He sniffed and eyes on Kyuhyun. "Thanks, I'm glad to know." he turned his back on the younger as his tears completely fall down,
making streams on his face. He covered his mouth with the back of his hand. He continuesly cry in silence as he reached one corner
where he let himself slide down. Kyuhyun wants to be with him for a lifetime. Sungmin is crying and smiling at the same time.
It is the first time he felt a bit of joy after the break up. He chuckled as tears continuously flow. He's glad to know, because
he too would want that if he isn't this sick at all.
Kyuhyun crossed his eyebrows and sniffed as he wipes away the tears that were about to breakfree. Watching Sungmin's lonely back
walking away from him is something he won't get used to. He hates the fact that he isn't brave enough to stand with him right now.
Spending a lifetime with you, is something I would always dream about.
