Title: Blue Tomorrow
Artist: Super Junior M

When it’s tomorrow, we agree not to meet again
Sitting in the shop at the end of the road, I ordered a cup of missing (you)
When it’s tomorrow, we can only let love pass by
Before daybreak, two persons’ smiling faces become a yellowed photograph

Around me (Loneliness is spreading)
Vision (is being blurred by tears)
I left “I love you” at the bottom of my heart and put them on the tip of my lips

Was it when I first saw him before Super Week?

Was it when we stayed up all night rehearsing “Becoming Dust” for the rivalry round?

Was it when we sang “Becoming Dust” in front of the judges, when I saw the passion and determination in his eyes as he performed?

Was it when we stayed together in the same dorm, and saw each other practice and perform, week after week?

I don’t remember it started – this feeling that we didn’t want to be apart. We instantly became best friends, and as time went by, we started to love each other like brothers. We were so inseparable to the point that some have started to see us as lovers.

Eleven months: that’s how long we’ve known each other. Time has slipped away so fast. Where have all the days gone?

I was completely fine before I met him. But now that he’s not here anymore, I feel like a part of me has also left.

When it’s tomorrow, you will leave my side
When it’s tomorrow, I will wish upon a shooting star alone
Just like the ending of a movie
Our ending fulfilled the prediction of tears
Broken promises all over the ground, the yesterday that cannot be pieced together again
But I still look forward to the appearance of a miracle, oh no
Your shadow is drifting further and further away.

Love is still lingering in my room
Before the memory becomes real, in a moment
It felt like you were in front of my eyes

I touch my cheeks as I walk towards our apartment. It’s hard to call this place home without Roy around. If he’s not here, this is nothing but a place to live in.

It’s eerily silent as I walk in. I’m going home to an empty house. I switch on the lights and stare blankly at the room. I leave my shoes at the doorstep.

There used to be two pairs of shoes here. Mine and Roy’s.

I sigh heavily and retreat to the bedroom to get some sleep.

Around me ([H]loneliness is spreading)
This vision (is being blurred by tears)
A sentence “I love you”, I left it deep in the bottom of my heart and put it on the tip of my lips

When it’s tomorrow, you will leave my side
When it’s tomorrow, I will wish upon a shooting star alone
Just like the ending of a movie
Our ending fulfilled the prediction of tears
Broken promises all over the ground, the yesterday that cannot be pieced together again
But I still look forward to the appearance of a miracle, oh no
Your shadow is drifting further and further away.

We laughed and joked in the car on the way to the airport. I did my best to make the mood as light as possible. I wanted to make this moment happy. I wanted him to see me smiling so it wouldn’t be hard for him to leave, so he would only take good memories with him, and forget about the bad.

I stared at him intently as we talked. The shape of his eyes, his nose, and how his smile curved more towards the right – I wanted to remember all of it.

When the car stopped in front of the departure area, we had to say our goodbyes. We wouldn’t be able to talk the moment we stepped out. The press, media and fans had swarmed around the terminal.

“Well, this is it,” he said.

“Take care of yourself, okay?” I told him. “Study hard. Eat on time and don’t overwork yourself.”

He nodded. “Don’t worry about me hyung.”

“Will you drive me around when I visit you?” I asked him.

“Hyung, you know I don’t have a car,” he laughed.

I hugged him one last time, “I’m gonna be so lonely without you.”

“You’ll get used to it. You have lots of friends, anyway,” he said as he hugged me back.

“But you’re my favorite,” I told him. I could tell he smiled when I said that.

“Take care of yourself too. Keep the apartment as clean as possible,” he replied.

“I’ll do my best,” I promised. “Take good care of yourself,” I couldn’t help but say again. “Call me often.”

“I will, I will,” he answered. We stay like that for a few more seconds, just embracing each other.

“I’ll miss you, oppa,” he told me.

“I’ll miss you too, aga,” I replied.

Unexpectedly, he kissed both of my cheeks. He had never done that before. He gave me a small smile before he finally opened the door.

Without you, love starts to hibernate
Loneliness will occupy every day
I stand under the streetlight, on the side of the cold street
That place where we once embraced
Is the roof under which we once seek shelter from the rain together, oh

I don’t remember what else happened that day. All I can recall when I think about it is emptiness – and that I almost said, “This is Roy Kim’s and Jung Joonyoung’s Best Friends Radio,” forgetting that he already left.

I roll around restlessly on the bed. It’s more spacious now that I don’t have to share it with anyone, but I’d rather lie cramped up in a small cot than be here alone.

I sniff the pillow that used to be Roy’s. The scent of his shampoo still lingers on it. I look around the room, and notice that something is missing. I get up and check the shelves…and that’s when I realize that Roy had taken the ugly black hat that used to be mine. He also took one of my wide-necked shirts.

“Babo,” I murmur. Did he seriously plan to wear those around Georgetown?

But I couldn’t help but smile. It’s nice to know that he took something as a remembrance of me.

 

When it’s tomorrow, you will leave my side
When it’s tomorrow, I will wish upon a shooting star alone
Just like the ending of a movie
Our ending fulfilled the prediction of tears
Broken promises all over the ground, the yesterday that cannot be pieced together again
But I keep looking forward to the appearance of a miracle, oh no

I still reminisce the past when we were in love
I’m still waiting for you to come back to my side
Tears are falling on the side of my cold pillow
I hit pause on time until you appear again
I cannot stand each of the days without you, oh no

It’s already morning. I jolt awake when I hear my phone ring. I rub the sleep out of my eyes and check who’s calling.

 It’s him.

I answer the call, and a feeling of warmth and comfort just rushes through me. And that’s when I know that even oceans, different time zones, or different worlds can’t change our friendship. Nothing can, and nothing will.

We will love each other like this, forever.

I love you, it will not change
I’ll be loving you till eternity

Three years will fly by, and before we know it, he’ll graduate. And he’ll come back home.

We just need to have a little patience and trust.

I stretch my arms and get up to get ready for the day. Today is a new gift, a new opportunity, and another day closer till he comes back.
