Promise

27 - our story

Things had ended like that; there was nothing none of the two could do to fix the situation. Maybe try to explain the mistakes they had made those years they were in a relationship, but actually they even couldn’t look the other straight in the eye, so was impossible to put things on the table.

That’s how MyungSoo and SungGyu ended living in separated ways.

Before the older came to their department, the young took off all his belongings and, without a letter, he left the place, hoping that was for best.

So, when SungGyu entered his house later that day, he didn’t need to walk around the rooms. From the principal door he noticed his ex-boyfriend had gone.

Suddenly he fell into his knees. What had just happened?! They were supposed to be together ‘til the end of their lives! So, why they had broken up? Why?!

—Why?!

There had so many questions in his mind he couldn’t answer even the easier.

Did they not love each other anymore?

Did their love have an expiration date?

Why his heart would hurt so much?

When the tears would stop to fall?

There weren’t answers to those questions.

Maybe he had thought it wasn’t so serious, and didn’t face the reality until MyungSoo left him alone.

Now he knew only one thing: he loves his dongsaeng, no matter what mistakes they had done. And now… what he could do to bring him back and show him that his feelings still the same?

Those were the most important questions.

And were the only ones that need an answer.

The only ones he didn’t know when he could solve.

 

—You did it perfect, hyung.

—Do you think?

—Yes. He should probably regret to leave you behind.

—JinKi... —SungGyu almost sighed, didn't want to remember the reason of his last three painful years.

—You know it’s true! When you will have your come back?

—The first week of May. The album will be released on 8 and my comeback stage, on 16.

—Oh. That's the reason of the title.

The older nodded as he tried not to think about why he and his hyungs had written that oh-so-sad songs. He didn't want to cry again.

—You have to invite me, right? And, of course, give me a copy of your album as a present. Don't forget to sign it.

Gyu tsked in annoyance.

—That's why you are here?

—Of course! —JinKi laughed loudly—. I'm just joking, hyung.

—I know —he looked at his clock and felt already tired—. Sorry, but I have to return to my practice room. There are steps I didn't get it yet.

—Ok. I'll see you soon.

—Bye.

The young put both in a tight hug before let the other walk away.

 

To SungGyu, those years had been like three centuries. Many people could think that had been good since he took his experience as a way to tell his story and release his feelings, maybe to get his beloved by his side again or just to end the chapter and finally move on.

So, when he woke up the morning of the 'Come back day', Gyu had antagonistic feelings. He was happy and proud of him just for being able to do music in an age that most of the idols had at least five years in the industry; but the nervousness couldn't let go him (MyungSoo would listen his songs? Would he understand what he tried to say?). Sure it would be better if he stopped to over thinking.

—I told you it would be a great success! —JinKi jumped on him, really excited.

—I know.

—Woah. Don't over react, please.

—Shut up, Lee.

—Hyung, what's wrong with you? It's your come back and the reaction was very good! The people love you. Why you're acting like a ?

—Just leave me alone.

And without a word, he walked out to get into his car, leaving JinKi really worried.

 

Somehow, the rumors found their way to every Korean who watched the news or listened the radio, and of course, read the SNS or the newspaper.

—Kim SungGyu seems like he have a unilateral love.

That's what everyone was saying.

And some photographer was really curious about that.

—That singer is amazing —SungJong said as a matter of fact.

—Who? Is a woman?

—No. He is a hyung. Woah~ if I could, I would go to one of his shows. He makes me cry.

—He sings so bad?

—No! The lyrics are sad... and his voice is sweet and deep I'm sure all is about something real. Well, the journalists and even his fans say that.

—So interesting —MyungSoo never showed interest in the kpop and all the things it involved—. And who is him? What's his name?

Kim SungGyu.

And his mood turned bad in a blink of an eye.

—I have work to do so see you soon.

—Hyung! What are you-?

He waved his hand and gone out before his brain died because of that name.

 

The days passed by.

His album was on top of all the charts and even if he hadn't received something he really wanted, couldn't say he wasn't proud of his job. After all, you don't win the first place in a show every day.

—Let's go to celebrate! —JinKi screamed almost at his ear.

—Do you wanna deafen me?

—Don't exaggerate hyung. Let's go with Hyunnie and MinHo, right?

—Ok.

—And please, smile. That's your triumph after all.

SungGyu tried to make what he was told, putting effort in look honestly fine, even ig his friend knew it wasn’t true.

 

At the same time, a young man couldn't stop his curiosity and turn on his computer when he entered his house. While everything ended to charge, he went for a glass of water. Maybe he wasn't ready to listen, but he needed to check out. Because his heart still beating at the name of his ex-boyfriend. He didn't want to recognize the reality —that involved face the mistakes he did in the past and think about the pain he and his hyung had felt through those years—, but it seemed like he was to feel insane if he didn’t listened the songs in that instant.

Once in the internet, he searched for his album's track list, and after, for a page where he could download it.

An unexpected feeling ran through his body as he heard the voice of the singer. Tears began to form in his eyes, as he tried to fight to the urge of let them fall.

—Hyung...

There was no way he could feel sadder than while he listened those heartbreaking songs. But there was, when Daydream started and MyungSoo understood what was feeling his ex, because he felt the same.

When it ended, the young kept watching to the infinite, his brain full of thousands of thoughts.

Maybe, just maybe, was time to give his heart —and to him, of course— a new chance to be happy.

 

Maybe his love really had an expiration date.

—Hyung, your life hadn't finish yet —JinKi tried to comfort him—. I know you have waited for too long, but you have to believe and keep the faith.

—I can't. I know I have to do it, but... it's too much. Will be late for us?

—Don't say that. Don't you dare to think your love is worthless because it doesn't!

—You don't know how I'm feeling right now! —The older screamed, tired—. You and MinHo are together and never had been separated years like me and MyungSoo. Also, we ended our relationship. So, if he doesn’t come today... I'll give up.

—If you want that...

—I don't, but I can't wait my entire life for someone who probably had forgotten about me and what we had between us.

JinKi sighed. He could continue trying to convince the other, but he didn't want a fight between them so he stopped. Because Gyu was right: he deserved more than be waiting for a guy until his death.

 

—Now, the last appearance of the most popular singer of the month —the MC said—. With his sweet and deep voice, he came to sing his third, and sadly, last single. With twenty seven years and singing Alive, here is... Kim Sung Gyu!

The lights , one focused in the vocalist, who took the microphone, waiting for his time to start.

Manil naege… dan han beonui gijeok gateun sungani isseossdamyeon…

As the song gone on, his tears started to fall without a signal of stop sooner. He was singing his heart out, leaving behind all his feelings.

That would be the end of one chapter of his life and the beginning of another, what he expected be better than the last.

 

When he descended from the stage, none was there to hug him. Maybe JinKi was in his dress room, so he walked straight to his destination.

He entered and the next second, his eyes were covered with two hands he knew so well. Sure he had fell asleep and he hadn't gone to his schedule yet.

So he kept thinking he was dreaming. After all, his days were exactly like "Daydream" said: even when he closed his eyes, he continued seeing MyungSoo’s face.

—I miss you, Myung —he couldn't stop his words to escape his mouth.

—I miss you too, hyung.

—And I love you.

—Me too.

Seriously he had to end this type of routine if he didn't want his heart broken for the nth time.

—If you love me and miss me like you say, why you haven't come to see me? I'd waited for you every day. All what I sing is for you.

The young sighed.

—I know I'm a coward. Sorry.

—I want you to be by my side until our life come to end.

—If you forgive me, I promise never leave you again.

—You're supposed to say that. It's a dream after all.

“A dream?” His hyung thought it wasn't real? Oh. Daydream.

—You really think you're sleeping?

—I am. The real MyungSoo don't want to see me again. Sure he is in another relationship.

—He isn't.

—Why? If you were right, he would be with me right now, celebrating my success and giving me the best kisses I ever had received.

—Hyung.

—What?

—I'll prove you you're wrong. Just keep your eyes closed.

Gyu nodded, still thinking his mind was making a joke against him.

The guy walked around the older, his hands now cupping his cheeks.

—I'll love you 'til the end of my life, I promise —he hummed before reach those plump lips he hadn't forgotten.

SungGyu felt surprised at first, but quickly started to hungrily kiss the other, while his hands ran through the other body.

—Open your eyes, please. I’m right here.

The older shook his head. He didn’t want this dream to end.

—This is real, for God! Please, Gyu-ssi. Open your eyes.

—I don’t want.

—Hyung, your nekko want to see your pretty eyes. He hadn’t forgotten you. And he wanted to make him remember how beautiful and bright they are.

At the end, he obeyed reluctantly.

—Do you see me? Can you hear me? It’s me! It’s me who come to give you congratulations for your hard work and your great success!

—Humm… my nekko doesn’t speak a lot. So you are an actor.

—Hyung~! —the young wined, almost freaking out.

—Aigoo~ you don’t change, do you? JinKi was right.

—Why?

—He told me not to lose my faith. And here are you.

—I’m sorry, Gyu —he hugged him tightly—. I’m sorry I didn’t come before.

SungGyu felt some tears pouring in his t-shirt. It was sad, but he couldn’t stop the smile appearing in his face.

—Don’t cry, Myunggie. It’s ok.

—Really?

—Yes.

—Why?

Myung looked at Gyu with teary eyes.

—Just because you’re with me now.

—And never leave you again.

They closed their promise with a sweet kiss, one they will remember until their love came to end: with their deaths.
