Distance (2/2)
Woohyun finally stop crying, turning it into a soft muffled sobs. ‘Yah, stop it Woonnie.. you’re scaring me..’ the other’s pout and lean closer to kiss Woohyun softly on his nose, which immediately stopping his sobs, just like an impulse to him. Sunggyu wonders how long have Woohyung been crying. He caress the other’s cheek as he stares Woohyun deep into his sad eyes.
really, I poured so much tears for you
‘Wooniee.. did you remember what I always tell you every morning when we woke up?’ Sunggyu ask him softly, leaning closer to Woohyun, feeling the other’s breath. Woohyun in the other hand just respond by nodding. ‘.. can you tell me what I told you?’ he continue gazing into the other’s eyes.
A soft smile slowly creeps on Woohyun lips as he remember the word.
‘hmm.. 10 more minute? Or maybe that stuff you said about being attack by a boogieman the night before so you should be in bed all morning?’ Woohyun answer, chuckling softly remembering how cute Sunggyu’s reaction was whenever he tried to wake Sunggyu up for breakfast.
don’t forget and remember, keep it and treasure it
Slowly, Sunggyu cheeks tainted pink. ‘n-noo!! The other one!’ he give Woohyun his famous puppy pouts, hitting the other boy softly at his joke Woohyun pulls him closer and hold him firmly ‘of course I do, Sunggyu..’ he whisper softly kissing the pout away. ‘you’ll make me promise you that I’ll never leave you..’
please, breath with me
… breath .. breath ..
‘.. but Sunggyu.. you… you’re the one who.. leave.. ’
*Flashback*
‘Gyu, I think we have to cancel our date today..’ Woohyun announce as he enters the living room where Sunggyu is, making the other shoot up from the couch he was laying on. ‘whyyyyyy?’ he whine as he frown at Woohyun. ‘Its raining outside..’ he reply sighing softly, walking to Sunggyu and kiss the other’s forehead. ‘But .. you promise mee!’ Sunggyu pouts, ‘pleaseeee?’ he beg, giving Woohyun his puppy pouts, well he knew when to use it.
So, Sunggyu won, Woohyun sigh softly as he holds the umbrella preventing Sunggyu from getting wet. But he guess it was not bad at all, Sunggyu is smiling. A happy smile as he holds his hands out feeling the droplets fall into his hands. ‘Woonie look!! A rainbow!’ He cheers and point at the sky, making Woohyun grins wider. ‘yah, stop acting like a kid~’ Woohyun tease as he pinch Sunggyu’s nose making the latter scrunches his face and pulls his face away from Woohyun. ‘But Im not a kid!’ he pout again. Woohyun just reply him with a soft kiss on the cheek, thinking how lucky he is falling for someone adorable like Sunggyu.
They walk through the empty streets of Seouls, well its not that empty but lets just say there not so much people when its raining. Sunggyu abruptly stops as they reach a café. After buying a few cakes and decided to eat there, Woohyun excuse himself, telling Sunggyu he wants to go to the wash room. But instead, he runs out using the back door and walk carefully, not wantin Sunggyu to saw him as his heading to the shop across the café. He smiles as his thought wonders off things about Sunggyu. ‘Its time..’ his whisper as he enters the jewelry shop.
‘Yes, sir, how may I help you?’ the jeweller asked as Woohyun approach her. ‘Im looking a ring.. for my future spouse’ he grins shyly as he answer that to the jeweller. And then he get busy searching for the one, not knowing Sunggyu get impatient and start wonder around outside the cafe with his umbrella when he saw Woohyun in the store across the road. He smiles and shout Woohyun’s name, but he’s too far, Woohyun doesn’t hear a thing.
Suddenly a loud crash could be heard.
Smashing the large display window infront of the jewelry shop.
People are screaming.
But weirdly Woohyun swore he heard Sunggyu calling out his name.
And then
Everything turns silent again.
No one is dare to speak or say anything
The fear slowly taking over everyone there
But suddenly,
'bang’ a loud sound could be hear
Woohyun turns around
His eyes catch on a familiar figure
That familiar figure slowly collapse to the ground.
His hand is reaching for Woohyun
But he’s too far from him.
The distance between them grew apart.
in just a minute
When my time stops
Don’t say a thing and please hold my hand
He doesn’t care anything anymore.He ran toward Sunggyu, who’s now on the floor, lying unconsciously. He get on his knee and mumbles ‘S..Sunggyu’. He couldn’t hold his tears anymore. His body trembles hard as he pulls Sunggyu close to him. He caresses Sunggyu now pale cheek as he pulls out his phone. But soon after he realise it.. The colour he fear the most slowly soaking Sunggyu. His Sunggyu.
And lean your body into me
And whisper quietly..
But clearly into my left ear
But,
Before he could dial any number.He heard another loud ‘bang’ and another loud scream could be heard afterward. Suddenly he feels its hard to breath as a throbbing pain attack his back. But somehow he manage to pulls Sunggyu close to him, protecting Sunggyu and mumbles ‘d..dont leave me..’ before everything turns dark.
That you’re also the one for me
That we were so precious to each other
… so very precious …
That is was true
Soon Woohyun wake up in a complete foreign white room. He tries to get up the the throbbing pain shoot up at him again making him stop. He looks around and tries to recall what happen to him.
‘Sunggyu..’ he whisper as he quickly get up from the bed, ignoring the throbbing pain as he walk out the door. And a few minute later, he found him. He is lying on a bed, fully attach to wires and stuff. Woohyun swear his heart stop beating for like forever as he walk closer to his pale lover. His head was blank, he couldn’t think or breath.
‘Don’t leave me’
But god doesn’t hear his prayer that time.
And now we’re back to where we start~ *Ends of flashback*
Suddenly Woohyun feels tired. He smiles slightly as he stares at Sunggyu. ‘Please.. don’t leave me again..’ he mumbles softly, almost like a whisper. Sunggyu shakes his head and frowns, ‘when did I ever left you? I was here all the time and you’re so snobbish and ignore me all the time..’ he nags and pouts in the end, making Woohyun chuckles weakly. ‘Sorry, I didn’t see you.. before..’ he whisper, nuzzling himself on the person he miss the most. Its been a year after the incident, its been a year he heard those sweet voice of his lover. ‘I miss you..’ he whispers again, holding his tears as he slowly closes his eyes.
Please take away my last breath
The last glance, the last touch
So I can leave you and not someone else
‘Woonie.. can we go home now?’ Sunggyu mumbles as he drew a heart on Woohyun’s chest with his fingers. Home, yes, home.. Its been a year since he left home.. no, they left that warm place they called home. Woohyun falls ill after Sunggyu left.. very ill. He couldn’t stay out of the white room. The pain he feels a year ago grew by days. And guess he’ll be heading home that day with Sunggyu after all.
Please be the one closing my eyes for the last time
So, I can leave you in my last tear drop, my last prayer
So, I can fill them with you
