Getting To Know Myungsoo, The Real Myungsoo
The Darkest Light and a Single Bullet
Seo ____'s POV:
We walked for a short time and reached our destination.
It was a small cafe that didn't have many people.
The coffee house had wooden tables and chairs.
The barista's station was in the middle and had vines embroidered at the top.
But the thing is that this place was a kids cafe.
"Why are we at a kids cafe?" I wondered.
"I really like it here. It holds a lot of memories," Myungsoo told me.
He had a nostalgic look on his face and his eyes showed a lot of sorrow.
In a flash, that look disappeared and his hyperness surfaced again.
"Let's sit here," he suggested.
We sat at a table near the window.
I could see people passing by.
Some looked hurried and others seemed relaxed.
There were both teens and adults.
They were with friends, their date, or alone.
People laughing and smiling.
Though some had a frown on, the crowded streets looked fairly animated.
That was their lives and has always been there lives.
Unlike me, those people have experienced a lot in life.
For me, just walking down a street is new.
Would I have been like that if I had a normal life?
Probably.
"Umm ____-shi. Is something wrong? You've been spacing out for quite a while," Myungsoo's voice said.
"Oh nothing," I lied as I looked through the menu.
A waiter came to us and we ordered.
I got strwberry crepes with a pumpkin spice latte.
Myungsoo ordered chocolate waffles with an americano.
We just talked about random things and joked around.
One question was at the back of my mind though.
What made him so sad before?
Something about this place triggers that emotion.
"Uh I know that this is personal, but can I ask you what this place means to you?" I requested.
He hesitated and began to speak.
"When I was 10 years old, my parents took me here.
It was such a fun day, but I didn't know that it would be the last place that my parents wuld take me. The next day, both of them died, no they were killed, and I was sent to the orphanage. That's where I met my best friends," he concluded.
Wow.
I never knew that he had such a hard life.
His eyes were now glossy, all the cheerfulness was hidden.
I transfered seats into the one next to Myungsoo.
I wrapped my arms around him and whispered," Cry. It'll make you feel better."
And he did.
I see through his happy-go-lucky illusion now.
This was the real him.
For some reason, seeing him like this made my heart hurt.
Really bad.
The food arrived when his tears dried up.
"Thanks for the comfort," he murmured.
"It's fine," I answered.
We ate our meal in silence as Myungsoo pulled himself back together.
What made me feel like my heart was breaking just by watching him?
It's probably some heart problem or something.
I should go to the doctor later to get it checked out.
We finished eating and Myungsoo insisted that he pays.
I allowed him too after 20 minutes of arguing.
"Thanks for the breakfast today," I told him.
"No problem. I'll text you later," Myungsoo said.
I nodded.
We went our separate ways.
I walked a couple steps and turned around.
I watched Myungsoo's figure disappear into the sea of people.
*Sigh*
Why do I feel slightly different when I'm with you?
I just want you to smile.
Never to cry.
Kim Myungsoo's POV:
I told her my past.
She's only only person now aside from Infinite.
Did I do the right thing?
Oh well.
It's not like it was a big secret.
Is she disappointed that I'm not as strong as I look?
But, it felt good to let everything out.
