She wasn't looking at me though; she was looking at my father.

Stupid You,

Third Person POV:

 

 

                    Donghae opens his eyes, still slightly groggy. He sees the sky was becoming brighter, and assumes it's time to go. He looks over to Seunghyun who was sitting on the nook by the window, asleep while he was leaning on the wall. Guess it's not time yet, Donghae thought to himself, happy. He looks to Gaheun, who is resting her head on his chest, fast asleep. He smiles and let's go of her with one arm, to hold her hand, which was resting right beside her face. He exhales deeply, content as he looks out the window. The dark blue sky was becoming brighter, and was now even being complimented with light red and purple; the sun was coming out. Donghae laughs quietly to himself, I'm so stupid, I actually thought of telling the sun to go away. This made him think: he was thinking clearly when he made his decision, he did think all his options through, and now, he's accepted the reality. Just like how he knows he can't tell the sun to disappear, he knows he can't be with Gaheun. This thought doesn't upset him anymore though, he takes it as a fact, something unchangeable, and he's ready for it.

 

 

 

Seunghyun's POV:

 

 

"Minkyung? Minkyung? Where are you?!" I yell in the darkness. I heard her voice, I know it. I can't see a thing, why? Usually we can see a little in the dark right? It's like I'm blindfolded.

 

"Love is an emotion, something instinctual, something that logic will never be able to understand."Her voice sounds like it's coming from all around me. "heheh, what’s the rush? We're not going anywhere..." she continues. Where are you?    I run as fast as I can, trying to follow her voice, but no matter which direction I run, it seems like I'm getting neither farther away or closer to her. Her voice is still the same no matter where I go.
 

" Gosh, you ruin all the fun." another voice sounds, mixing in with Minkyung's.

"Geez... Relax! We're still here, haha, you're such a weirdo sometimes... You know that?" Gaheun. I run to the direction of her voice.  Where are we? Where  are they?

 

 

                    Suddenly, the darkness flashes with a brightening light. Two of them, I use my hand to shade my eyes.    I look ahead of me to see two pillars of light, one shining right on Minkyung, the other on Gaheun.

"What're you two doing?..." I ask them, they don't move. Are they?... Frozen?... They're not even blinking. But they were both smiling; Minkyung with her always kind, crescent eyed smile, Gaheun with her 'failed attempt at hiding her smile' smile. I walk towards them, but after I take a few steps, I hear another voice; father.

 

 

                    He steps into my view from the side, a gun in hand, blood splattered on his clothes.

"Father, what's happening here?" I ask him, truly confused.

He chuckles, "Well... This is where the foolish boy has to make his decision." decision...? About what?

"Don't you see Seunghyun? In the end, only one of them will still be here... You just have to choose which one. Simple." What?

"Seunghyun. We don't have all day. I've gotten rid of Donghae and his father already. All you have to do is decide. You better hurry before I get impatient," he says, reloading his weapon. What? He's gotten rid of Donghae ...? Then why do I still have to choose?... I look over to Gaheun immediately when he says this. Her expression has changed. She was no longer smiling; her smile has been replaced with a look of pure terror. She wasn't looking at me though; she was looking at my father.

"So Seunghyun? Times ticking..."

"I don't... Understand..."

"Ugh. Foolish boy. Isn't the answer obvious? The other one is already gone. Why would you need to think twice? Well no matter... Your time is up." He answers rashly. He points his gun to Gaheun,

"This wasn't how it was supposed to end, but who cares, my plan with Minkyung worked, this should too." No, don't. Gaheun turns her head down to the side, cringing, waiting for the bullet to strike. My father pulls the trigger.

 

 

 

                    "No!-" I jump up. Exhaling deeply, sweat forming on my forehead. What the hell was that? I look to the bed, and sigh in relief to see Gaheun was still there, safe with Donghae. I sit back down on the nook, and rest the back of my head on the wall.

"... You okay?" Donghae says, I almost jump again. I look over to him; he was just staring up ahead at the ceiling. I exhale again before I answer.

"Yeah."

"Doesn't sound like it." He answers, emotionless.

"Just a weird dream. No big deal."

"Oh. Okay then. But, we should go soon." What? He wants to go already?

"Gaheun's been shifting around a lot; she might be waking up soon. Better to leave before that happens."  I forgot. He doesn’t know that she woke up earlier… I wonder if she’s awake now…

"Well Kim Bum should be here any minute." I check my watch. Yep, very soon.

Just as he says that, the front door opens. I get up,

"Let's go." I tell Donghae, "I'll go outside first. Take ten minutes the most." and I leave, trying to clear my mind.

 

 

 

Donghae's POV:

 

 

                    Slowly and carefully, I manage to get up without waking Gaheun up. I pull the blanket over her shoulders and smooth out her hair. So this is really it, huh? I lean down to her head and take a deep breath of the scent again, letting it reach every cell of my body. I breathe out, and then move a little to kiss her forehead. Even though she probably can't hear me, I feel like I should do this at least one more time. I put my lips to her ear, and whisper, as quietly as possible,

"I love you.  I’ll be seeing you, okay? Always." I put my hand against her jaw gently taking in my last glance, and finally manage to find energy to pull away and leave the house.

AHHHHH! It ended!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats to a completed fic!
So I picked Epilogue 2 to read cause I can't bear sad endings. You're gonna make me cry, I know so. Props to you for being such a good writer.
OMG, I loved it! Gaheun and Donghae got married and had a kid!!! The kid was so cute thinking Appa had an imaginary friend. You lit a smile up my face. I miss the happy atmosphere, but the sad stuff really moved me.
The ending was so cute and romantic. I liked how the dialogue related back to the title. Best ultimate ending.

Please write more fics in the future. I would read anything you write.

Epilogue 2 : AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!! Such a sweet ending !!!! >< I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REAAAAAALLYYYYYYY LOVE IT (copy and paste did me a lot of work :p) I cried at the beginning because I thought it was Gaheun who died ! >< Then I read..... 'him' WAIT WHAT !? 'HIM' !? Then again, I think that the sad ending is on the previous chapter. I still cried anyway, and stopped when haeeun talks to seunghyun. I know, I'm so stupid.
Then it started again when donghae played with gaheun, when he backhugs gaheun after she calls him a dinosaur ! You oughta know, you wrote it !!! XD
I mean, they really went through a lot of things to be where they are now, see ? This is sooo sweet, and what I love even more is the fact that this is sooo beautifully written ! >o< Such a refreshing leisure time after midterm ! >< YESSS, my midterm ended ! Hooray to me !!!! \(´▽`)/
Overall, I LOVE the sad ending more than the happy one ! ^o^ It gives me more impact, >< and... Well, I just like sad endings.

Epilogue 1 : I AM CRYING THE WHOLE TIME AND AM STILL CRYING WHEN WRITE THIS ! ><
You're sucha genius, unni ! >< I'm totally speechless, I can't write. *wipes tears*
Really, LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVEEEEEEEEEEEEE THE SAD ENDING ! YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE SAD THINGS, RIGHT ? You have no idea how much my heart beat when I read the one where she finally says "I Love You" and the fact that she can no longer say it to him is.... Too heartbreaking ! >< And YeJin, I love her more after this. Her way of soothing donghae is.... *sigh* I can imagine the scene in my head, donghae in the cafe where the first love VCR is taken, yejin sitting on the edge of one of the table. He enters on a twilight sky surrounding the area, their faces were almost invisible, just the silhouette. :'(
And he was reading the letter with that black shirt he wore on SMA, GAHH black shirt seems so hot on donghae. And anyways ! Great job on the sad ending ! >o<

to be honest, they both are very good. i liked both endings, and i cant really pick a favorite. i dont know if you care at all, but here are my (summarized? trying not to give a lot away) thoughts on the endings-
Epilogue 1: short, but a lot of emotion. of course im sad, but im also happy. (Gaheun and Seunghyun).
Epilogue 2: very happy :) again sad and happy. (Seunghyun and Gaheun) at least both are together. HaeEun, haha cute. Dinosaur finally comes out :D
if i were to pick one, it would be Epilogue.....2.
