He's Only Human

Description

It was their wedding day. It should have been so perfect, but Jongin simply could not quench his thirst for adventure, when he spotted an opening in the rocks near the beach and sprinted off to explore it. Obviously he wasn't very nimble in his wedding suit and shoes and he slipped, falling into a narrow cavern. He could have survived if he hadn't landed on a poisonous snake's nest.

Kyungsoo, devastated, travelled down to the Underworld to persuade Hades to give him back Jongin. But the rules of the living didn't apply in the land of the dead, and Kyungsoo might just end up losing more than he bargained for.\

 

Your smile; your perfection

Keeps spinning in my mind

My hand can’t forget

The warmth of your hand

My heart shattered all over the floor

Can’t pick up the heartbeat from before

Imprisoned in the past; I don’t have the strength to escape from it

 

Said goodbye

Then realised I can’t see you again

Can I just

Fight the pain and hold back my tears

You promised we’d grow old together

I’ll find eternity there

I wanna hold you again

Even for one minute, one second

 

- Said Goodbye (Jay Chou)

Foreword

This is a songfic (obviously) and based on the Greek myth about the tragedy of Orpheus and Eurydice. Unlike with most songfics, where your inspiration came while listening to music, my inspiration came when I was reading a movie review after a day of exploring a real pirate's cave (and hitting my head on an overhead rock in that blasted dark and tiny cave. Ouch.) And so I embarked on a quest to find the perfect song for my fic.

I have a thing for Greek mythology, but this is my first time actually writing about it. I hope you enjoy reading it :3
