Envy
Bound & BlindedI always lied
In front of my parents
In front of my friends
In front of everybody
I lied with this bright mask
Because by lying everything will turn smoother
No need for emotional conflict and I can get what I want
People tends to be weak with sweet words and caring acts
I lied those words and charms them with my bright smile
Then they will do what I want
It’s easy
That’s how I made my way to this agency
I work hard with my grades while searching for a student exchange program and did some persuasion to my parents to permits me going abroad
Luck is on my way that the agency scouted me and tells me to take an audition
And so I did
I show my dance and singing skills, charm them with my appearance and smile
And I passed
In the agency, I tried to charm everyone to make sure I didn’t get bad treatment from other trainees
Just smile and praise them, most of them will act nice to me
Not all of them likes it but at least I’ve make sure that I got good backups
And now after patiently waiting and also improving my skills
The agency gives me a chance to be debuted
But I never expected to be debuted with him
Kim Minseok
My first meeting with this man turns to be the deepest impression I’ve ever had with someone
When I first entered the agency, he’s one of the first people I met
Visually different from other kind of skinny guy on the agency
Pale reddish fair skin
Chubbier than today, but it makes him cuter
His crooked smile and warm hand holds mine with soft voice that telling me
“Welcome and let’s work hard”
He said that without giving me the chance to charm him
And since then I always looking at him quietly
He’s a quiet one with a few friends
When people like to go party or doing crazy things that they think eligible for youngsters
He spends time more on training, reading books or karaoke with his friends
He didn’t even try too much to socialize
But people comes to him when they need someone to tell their stories
And he will hears them attentively and tells them the truth although it will hurt them
He didn’t have many friends
But other trainees respect him
And that makes me envy
He never needs to lie
He never needs the effort to bring people to him
I don’t like him but I can never bring the word ‘hate’
It’s like this man intrigues me
I want to see his other expression of dislike
Angry, disgust, jealous
Anything to ruin that crooked smile of his
When I called him Baozi
He didn’t mad
When I tell him I’m gay, despite that truthfully I’m not really gay or really have a boyfriend
He’s fine with it
I’ve insult him by telling his face looks like a mandu and tells about the things that’ll surely makes straight man shivered
And he’s still calm
Accepting those lies as a part of me that he’ll respect
How come?!
No human can be an angel
But there he is
Sleeping peacefully on his bed
And I’m here watching him with envy
Sometimes I want to be like him
Like a tainted page that wants to be a blank one again
But can I?
My page are filled with so many lies that I don’t know how to erase it anymore
I’ve made people to think that I’m the bright and kind Luhan
There’s no place for the real Luhan
As I continues watching his sleeping face
I start to feel drowsy
And finally my vision turns to blur, within second I’ve fall into world of dream
.
.
.
“han ….Luhan wake up”
I feel a soft tug on my shoulder
I open my eyes and the blur figure turns into Minseok’s face accompanied with the sunlight from the window on his back that makes him looks shinning
Too bright
“5 more minutes…”
I pleaded while closing my eyes again
“You’ve asked for it 3 times, no more 5 minutes Luhan”
And I feel he shakes my shoulder harder
“URGH! ALRIGHT!!”
I yelled
He looks surprised
Me too
I never yelled on someone before
But then he smiled
“Good! You’ve awake, now take a bath, it’s better to eat breakfast before its getting cold”
Uh…why didn’t he mad?
Why???
Uh wait a minute since when I stand up and walk to the bathroom
What kind of witchcraft is this?!
“Don’t fall asleep, kay?!”
He said from outside
“….tsk”
And reluctantly I strip myself to take a bath
!
“Okay Luhan what did you say earlier?! Don’t say things like that!”
I said to myself with warm water pouring down to my body
I keep telling myself to put back my ‘Nice’ Luhan mask
Don’t show the ‘Bad’ Luhan
