I'll never leave you, like how you'll never leave me.

Stupid You,

Gaheun's POV:

 

 

                    I enter 'my’ room in Choi's mansion. Today's been a long day, the three guys decided to drag me around everywhere... The mall, random parks... It was an… interesting day.

"Soo... How does it feel to be back in prison?" Kim Bum laughs as he steps in a couple seconds after me. He's right, I do feel like I'm in prison again.

I smile at his joke.

"Well... Go take a shower, I'll keep watch outside the doors. Haha, to make sure no erts come back," He winks at me, it was funny, but kinda creepy at the same time. I laugh.

"Well... Actually, even if I wasn't standing outside, you'd be okay. I think Donghae scared everyone off for good," He smiles.

"... Yeah. Probably." I say a little sullenly as I walk to the bathroom.

 

                    As I turn around to close the bathroom door, I see Kim Bum standing by the desk, smiling and chuckling at whatever he was looking at. Weirdo.

 

 

                    I let the heat of the hairdryer rush over my face, feeling the warmth it spread to every cell. I hear a faint knock on the bathroom door,

"Gaheun?! I gotta leave right now, do you think you can stay by yourself for a while?" Kim Bum asks.

"Yeah! Go ahead!" I shout over the screeching of the hairdryer.

 

 

                    I step foot back into the room again, quickly walking to my bed because of the cold.
Hey... What's that?  A big red folder rests on the desk, with my name in dark black ink written on it. Haha! There's a really cute smiley face on it too!  I quickly grab it and jump into the bed, getting underneath the covers the shield me from the cold.

 

 

                    I immediately smile as I open the cover. It's so perfect, it completely captured mine and Donghae's relationship: utterly childish.  And sort of silly, now that I think about it. I trace my fingers along the drawing, over Donghae's face, and end up holding the page in my hand. I sigh. This is cute.  I fall back to lie on the bed, and hold my arms up to continue staring at the portrait. As I pull the folder up, I hear small clinking noise. I sit up immediately, and hear the clinking again. I look down to my lap, to see a ring. It's a necklace actually, and beside it, is another smaller envelope with my name on it. I pick up the chain and ring and hold it in my palm as I open the envelope.
 
 
 
 

   Yah! Lee Donghae! That's what you're thinking now right? You're probably thinking, Donghae, you're so stupid. Why don't you ever listen to me? Haha, I can just hear you saying that right now.
 
     So! Now, after you have finished thinking I'm an idiot, and stopped calling me names [well... I hope you've stopped by now ^^] I can ask you, what do you think of my drawing?! I don't draw often, but I figure if I'm going to have one last piece of art, it should be for you. I have to leave you something to remember me by, right?! ^^ haha. You'll keep my hard work forever right? Even after you're married! After you have children! ... Right? :) Yes. I said it, after you're MARRIED and have CHILDREN!! Your husband and children will be so lucky, Gaheun. I'm really jealous of them even though I don't know who they are yet :P But even when you move on and find  someone who loves you as much as I do [No being stubborn, you HAVE to get married! Or else I will be very angry with you and try to find a way to knock some sense into you from heaven! ]  I hope you'll still keep our portrait. You can promise me that, can't you?

 

                    Next thing I wanna ask is... Do you like the ring?!?!?!?! While you were away, I saw it in the store window and needed to buy it right away! It's our couple ring! Even though I don't think you should wear it for too long... I can't really do anything else with it. Haha, I have one too! It's also a necklace now ^^ I'm wearing it right now as I write this letter! It's just a token to let you know how much the past... Month has meant to me. Wow, it's only been a month. Isn't that crazy? I feel like we've known each other for years... That we've been together for years. ... You're probably making that face you always make when I start rambling on about nonsense, aren't you? Arent you?! Haha.

 

                     In all honesty, I have to admit, it's hard saying goodbye. It's hard to think of what to write, knowing I'll never hear what you have to say back to me. I just want you to know, I didn't give up. I know you'd be very disappointed in me if I did, but... It’s only gotten this far because... There's only so much I can fight.  Even if someone fights, isn't the result sometimes inevitable?  I'm not angry or upset, about anything, or at anyone. It's weird, isn't it? But that doesn't mean you can get all fired up because of me, okay?  Think things through, and don't be so stubborn... It makes me worried sometimes because you're so stubborn. Another thing I want to tell you before I run out of space is that, when you miss me, remember it's not really me you're missing, but my physical being.  Because I can swear to you that I'll always be around you, be with you, in mind, in spirit, in your heart.  I'll never leave you, like how you'll never leave me. I'm sorry I got you into all this and caused such a... Strain? Halt? Block? End?  to our relationship. But we've persevered through it all right? I'm glad it's finally over though; you won't have to struggle anymore.

 

                    No matter what happens, you need to be strong. I know you can do it. You wouldn't be Gaheun if you couldn't. Gaheun, fighting! Donghae, fighting!  [We can get through this! :) ]

 

 

                                                                                                       Love always.
                                                                                                                               LDH

 

P.S... 

                    Don't worry, I'm sure we'll see each other again in the future! It'll be years from now, but that's okay, I can wait. I guess until then... It'll just be me seeing you. Haha   '

 

 

 

I exhale deeply as I hold the necklace to my chest.

 

                    Yes, Donghae. We will see each other again someday in the future. I promise. I can be strong, I know it. Fighting.

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.
