Onew was sitting at the far side of the field, watching two butterflies flutter in the wind. He was tearing at the corner of his eyes, as he watched the two butterflies flying in perfect synchronization, as if they were in love. The world was quieter here and he could slowly digest all the things happening around him.
‘Jonghyun!’
Onew peeked into the room with a smile so bright it could easily burn a hole through the curtains but it soon fell together with him as he knelt to the floor; Bewildered at the sight sitting in front of him.
There was a half-naked Key and a groaning Jonghyun.
‘Onew...’
Key fumbled for his shirt as he zipped his pants and sweared from head to toe. Jonghyun on the other hand was walking towards Onew with cautious footsteps.
‘Don’t… Don’t… Come near me’
Onew was literally pulling his hair off with strength he never knew existed in him. His veins were protruding from his neck and arm and it hurt so badly till his teeth were gritting and his gums were bleeding.
‘I BELIEVED IN YOU’ Onew screamed at the top of his voice; Disregarding the fact that he was the vocalist of the group - Not that it mattered anymore; Since Jonghyun’s the best singer they have. Why does SHINee even need another ‘vocalist’ to steal his spotlight?
These thoughts were racing though his mind as he looked up to the tree providing him shade. There was a rope attached to one of its branches; Seemingly calling to Onew, pulling him towards it like a succubus.
Onew spat blood on the floor and wiped the tears from his eyes and he heard Taemin and Minho coming up the slope. He hurriedly ran behind the tree to hide; Not from the embarrassment, but from the truth… Reality.
Jonghyun was crying and sniffling into his sleeve and Key was literally going to lose it while Taemin and Minho were frantically making phone calls to Onew.
‘Shit’ Onew spurted at his phone began to ring a familiar self-recorded tone in his pocket…
‘Jonghyun Neomu Yeppeo’
Onew closed his eyes and he could feel 8 pair of eyes looking at him; All worn and tattered all over.
Jonghyun looked at the rope hanging above them and stared at Onew blankly.
‘You didn’t plan to… Did you?’ The words stung Onew’s ears and ringed in his heart as he took 3 steps backward towards the cliff.
‘Onew hyung! I’m sorry… I’m so sorry’ The words were flowing out of Jonghyun’s mouth like the tears flowing down his eyes do his reddened cheeks.
‘Maybe in my next life, I’ll become a butterfly’
Onew smiled at the air which smelt of tears, blood and unrequited love.
He took a step back and fell into the bottomless pit where his soul would never meet Jonghyun’s again.
Jonghyun’s phone rang.
난 요정이 될, 당신은 그 천사를 사랑하고 싶습니다. 날개의 수호가 자신의 손을 뻗어 있었다. 당신은 믿어야만 해, 난 우리가 동화, 행복과 기쁨과 같은 결말이 될 거라는 걸 믿어요. .
