침묵의 역사

Description

I’ve regretted so many things in the past. Like, not buying the book that was on sale, only to go back and find out that someone else bought it, changing the answers in an exam, only to find out my first answer was the correct one, going out of the house and forgetting to bring my coat on a chilly afternoon and forgetting to bring an umbrella when it rained buckets.

But you know what I consider my biggest regret?

Foreword

And I am (kind of) back with this angsty oneshot, featuring EXO-M's manly but cute da ge, Xiumin! 

This story was mainly inspired by Nell's song, 침묵의 역사 (open in new window to listen) from their latest album, Newton's Apple. I don't know how many times I've listened to this song whilst thinking of scenarios for a new story and the meaning of the song is very bittersweet, and it is personally my favorite song from the album. Basically, I love Nell.

So, while the complete story hasn't been uploaded, please get a "preview" of how the story will go with the translated lyrics to the song, with credits going to pop!gasa.

Actually, it’s not like that
I just said that out of anger
Can’t we just laugh it over?
That’s what I hoped you would say

Actually, it’s the other way around
Honestly, don’t you know how I feel?
I want you to hold onto me
That’s what I hoped you would say

But it seems like you’ve been preparing this for a while
Seems like there’s no place for me in your heart anymore

I’m just a little tired
Everyone goes through this
Can’t you just comfort me?
That’s what I hoped you would say

Do you still not know?
I just want you to hug me more
Can’t you do that for me?
That’s what I hoped you would say

I know it’s useless to think this now
But if only I knew this a little earlier
Would things be different now?
I can’t go on if it’s not you
Even if they are common words
I should’ve said that I wanted you to stay
