New Memories
Still Into YouA/N: Hello Everyone!!! :D This one-shot is kinda epilogue of my Shinhwa 16th anniversary project one-shot 107.9 MHz…. since it was loved a lot by all of you and many asked me for an epilogue… and actually I am also falling in love with Ricsyung characters in this plot… So … please have fun reading this fluffy and cheesy one! :P
For the ones who want to read 107.9MHz… Here’s the link…
“Are we always awkward like that?”
With a chuckle, the one in front of him broke the ice between them. He stopped his fingers tracing around the rim of the coffee cup in
which the content had already been cold. Shifting his eyes across the table, he saw that still unfamiliar face smiling weakly at him.
“Well … Seems like it’s quite awkward for you to talk to me … I mean … looking at my face … For me, I can see you since the start … so
… maybe I’m the only one who is used to this …”
Although Hyesung let out those words in a quite relaxed way, he could sense the tint of sadness lingering at the end of words. For this, he
suddenly felt panicked, resulting his head shaking immediately.
“No … No … It’s not like that … I feel really good right now … I mean … ahmm … What is that? I’m … I’m so happy to see you again … It’s
just that … I … still can’t believe what is happening in front of my eyes … Finding you … and talking with you … without …”
“Without that old radio … Right?”
“Ah … Yes …”
Seeing his flabbergasted expression, Hyesung chuckled again. How much he had been missing that chukle! It was more lively and
attractive now. Maybe it was because now he heard it not via old rusty radio and he also saw that beautiful face making that chuckle.
Wait. He had said “beautiful face”?
“You’re as funny as back then … No worries … I was just saying … I understand what is now happening in your mind … Actually … I also
didn’t expect to find you that easily … You know … Jejudo is quite big and I know nothing except your name … so … I’m also happy to
find you again … and …”
A pause came in and he subconsciously raised his eyebrows to encourage the other to go on talking. Seeing his raising eyebrows, Hyesung
let out a dry cough before turning his head towards the glass window beside them.
“And … I’m happy to know that you’re also happy to meet me again …”
By sunlight or not, he was not sure that he just saw the pale red shade creeping on the face of Hyesung after mumbling those words
while looking outside intently.
“Ah … So … tell me … How is it to hear me in person? I mean … not through radio frequencies … Saying about that, I still can’t believe
that happened really … Communicating via old radio … Me, a soul and you, a living one … It’s so much like supernatural movie …. Don’t
you think so?”
Being mesmerized at Hyesung’s bubbling and his smile, he was a few seconds late to give back his reply until he got a raising eyebrow
from the other.
“Ah … Yeah … If you say so … It’s still … Ummm … How should I say? It’s a thousand times better to see your face and talk … It’s less
creepy … I think … You know … Ah … No … No … I don’t mean it’s creepy before … but … how to say? Ummm …”
He was too busy in finding words that he missed the expression from the one sitting in front of him completely and only when he heard a
loud laughing sound, he stopped his mumbling, staring at the other in a quite idiotic way. But he must admit that the laughing voice of
Hyesung caused a warm stream passing through the left side of his chest.
“I’m …. I’m sorry … but … It’s really fun to hear you talking …. like that …”
Struggling too much not to laugh again and saying sorry to him at the same time was not easy for Hyesung apparently but he succeeded
somehow. Still there was a wide smile lingering on his face.
“I think … it’s so long that I didn’t laugh like that … because of someone …”
The atmosphere got heavy again with that sentence and actually he really hated that kind of uneasy vibe around them. To say precisely,
he hated to see Hyesung recalling his sad past and drowning in those useless memories again.
“Hyesung-ah …”
As soon as the called one got out of his thoughts and gave him a questioning look, he cursed himself in mind not for preparing the next
words to say. He had just wanted to wake Hyesung up from his depressing thoughts, not having any particular questions or words to say.
Being alarmed, he wandered his eyes around and caught the sight of a black luggage standing beside Hyesung. A relieved smile
automatically bloomed on his face, he knew.
“Where are you staying here? Have booked a hotel room?”
His question made the other silent for the next few seconds. Hyesung just kept hanging his head low, biting his lower lip. Being amused
at the cute sight in front of him, he shook his head slightly to prevent a fool-like smile appearing on his face.
“Ah … actually …”
Finally, Hyesung lifted his head, yet his eyes still avoiding his, and his soft voice flowed in his ear sweetly.
“Actually … I forgot the accommodation … I was too excited to come here … so just booked the flight and threw everything I found into
the baggage …”
He could not help but laughed heartily, hearing the adorable answer from the other who was now looking quite dumfounded by his sudden
outburst laughing.
“Ok … Ok … Sorry … Ahemmm … If so … I don’t think you can have a room in this holiday season right now … so … Ummm … If you don’t
mind …”
During the pause, he learnt the face of Hyesung for a second and found a pair of two sparkling eyes like they were waiting for
something.
“If you don’t mind … you can stay in my apartment …”
Finally, he let it out and held his breath subconsciously, staring at the one in front of him without blinking.
“No … No … I don’t mind … I can stay with you … if you’re ok …”
After his over-enthusiastic answer, a blush crept in immensely on Hyesung’s face. Seeing this, he jumped in his mind happily and stood up
immediately from the table of the airport cafeteria they were sitting.
“If so … Let’s go … Hyesung-ah …”
Grabbing his own luggage, he gestured the other to leave but he found Hyesung eyeing his baggage.
“Of course … I forgot it … You’re going somewhere, right? Jung Hyuk …”
At the end of the question, he nodded right away, dragging Hyesung’s luggage at the same time.
“I was … but now … No … I’m not leaving you again … because I might lose you again …”
Like that, his trip to Seoul to attend the colleague’s wedding got cancelled with a call to the groom saying sorry. And he got a guest in his
tiny apartment hired in Jejudo, cramming the place but he could not erase the smile the whole day from his face.
They cooked ramen for lunch and ordered some pizza for dinner, not stopping their chatting on the process. Talking about weather, TV
shows, things Hyesung had missed in last two years, their conversation flowed so naturally and so did their gazes.
Until the time to sleep crept in.
“Hyesung-ah … You sleep in the bedroom … I’ll sleep here …”
Catching the sight of the other’s silent yawning, he said pointing the couch they were sitting in the living room.
“But …”
“No words … Let me just grab a pillow and a blanket …”
With those words, he ran into his single bedroom and a few seconds later, ran out again with the mentioned things in his arms.
“Go sleep … Hyesung-ah … Go …”
Then, he pushed Hyesung who was quite reluctant to let the owner of the apartment sleep on the couch and drove him into the bedroom,
closing the door slowly with “Good Night” attached with a wide smile.
Throwing his body to a quite uncomfortable couch and covering his body with a blanket, he nearly forced his over-active brain to shut
down. Then, when his eyes finally started to droop, he heard the creaking sound of the door and a soft voice that he was too familiar in
a day.
“Jung Hyuk-ah … Asleep?”
He nearly jumped out of the couch and sat up to see Hyesung standing in front of his bedroom.
“Hyesung-ah … Need something?”
The one standing did not reply his question and he seemed like he had a dilemma in his mind, fixing his stare onto the floor.
“The bed is quite big … actually … Two people can fit in … I think …”
Those words and the pair of brown orbs did magic to his heart and when he got out of his hazy state, he had been already lying on the
bed, beside Hyesung.
“I haven’t said it to you … but I owe you my life …”
The out-of-nowhere confession from the one beside him made him turn his body to his left side and send a questioning stare at Hyesung
who was looking at the roof.
“My family lawyer and the doctors had agreed to remove my life suppliers the next morning … They were giving up on me … after two
years … but you told me to go back to my body that night … and that’s how I am alive now … I got conscious just a few hours before they
removed the equipments …”
Hearing those words, he felt all the goosebumps all over his body, realizing how much it had been near to loose Hyesung and not to see
him again in this life.
“You know … I thought I had no reason to live after deaths of my dad and … my boyfriend … but … at that night … hearing your words … I
suddenly wanted to live again … maybe I think I wanted to meet you again in person … You know what? I came here first … even didn’t
go to my boyfriend’s grave …”
“Stop it …Sung-ah …”
Not only Hyesung but also himself got shocked at his sudden yelling. In his chest, he was boiling with the unknown feeling whenever he
heard the words “my boyfriend” from Hyesung’s lips. He did not know why but he just wanted the other to forget all those sad incidents
including “his boyfriend”.
“He was dead … and you said he never took you serious … So why do you keep calling him “my boyfriend”? Stop it … and stop that sad
look in you eyes whenever you talk about him … It’s really hurt to see you’re still living with those old memories … Forget them … and live
with new ones …”
His storm of words hit Hyesung hard and he was mute for a while, just looking at him with indefinable expression. Then, his lips start to
tremble, wanting to say something.
“Jung Hyuk-ah … I …”
“If you can’t find new memories … I’ll help you …”
Something possessed him when he said those words and pulled Hyesung closer to make their lips touch. Hyesung’s lips were so soft against
his and in no time, he was already melting in those sweet lips, slowly caressing them with his shivering lips. His hand slowly went around
Hyesung’s neck, touching the hair softly.
Then, his heart missed a beat when he felt Hyesung’s hands grabbing his T-shirt to make their bodies closer and closer, almost their
chests touching. And he swore his heart stopped for a moment when Hyesung’s lips started to move along his and replied his kiss with the
same affection.
Only when their lungs screamed out due to the lack of oxygen, they parted quite reluctantly, just a few centimeters. His eyes dove into
Hyesung’s deep brown orbs, finding the answer he wanted. Like he had already known his question, Hyesung just chuckled and landed a
peck on his lips, catching him off guard.
“Didn’t the kiss say it all? … I’ve already found new memories … with you …”
