Summary: When everything ends between you and your best friend...
Some people said having a best friend is very astonishing. It’s something you have to be really thankful for. It’s a very pleasing feeling, very worthy. There’s someone who would protect you. There’s someone who would make you smile, make you laugh; someone who’d make you happy. But are you willing to take the risk? Would you dare sacrifice the friendship that you cherish, in order to attain the love and relationship that you desire?
Ever since grade school, Kyuhyun and I had always been classmates. Until we reached high school, and now that we’re in college. Our parents were close friends, so wherever I was, he would also be there.
One day…
“Why did you join the fraternity?”
“Just because. It’s just for fun.”
“Don’t you know that it’s dangerous?”
“I know what I’m getting myself into.”
After that day had passed, I don’t see him in school any longer. He doesn’t call me anymore. Not even text.
I wonder how he’s doing.
I decided to visit him on their house, but I wasn’t able to catch him.
I miss him.
I miss my best friend.
I miss his cheeky smile, that goofy grin that would show his teeth.
I miss his soothing voice.
I miss his lame jokes.
I miss his gentle touches
I miss his presence.
I miss him.
I miss Kyuhyun.
The man I was secretly in love with.
The man I am secretly in love with.
Days passed by rather quickly, and Kyuhyun rarely went to school. One time, I tried to talk to him, but it seemed like he was avoiding me.
“What happened to you, Kyu?”
“Nothing.”
“I know there’s something that you’re not telling me.”
“There’s nothing that I have to tell you.”
“What nothing? Why are you always absent? Why are you avoiding me? Why aren’t you replying to my texts anymore? Is there something that I did, Kyu?”
He suddenly turned his back and walked away from me. I ran after him.
“Kyuhyun-ah, what really happened you?” He faced me and spoke.
“Why are you even meddling with it? It’s not your business so don’t make a fuss about it. Who do you think you are to me?”
I was silenced by what he said. Mixed feelings overwhelmed me.
Shock…
Pain…
Pain…
Every word seemed like they were millions of needles prickling the beating thing inside my chest.
Who am I to him?
I’m his best friend; just his best friend. Everything else ends there.
But now, I doubt if I can still call myself with that title. He left... and didn’t leave a single trace that he was actually there.
He left… and never showed himself again.
I didn’t dare text him.
I didn’t go to their house to visit him.
I was scared.
Two weeks passed and I received news; the news that forever changed my life.
Kyuhyun was in the hospital. His condition was very critical.
I remember how my heart stopped beating then and there; how fear, anxiety, apprehension crept into my whole being.
I immediately rushed to the hospital. I was panting heavily with all the running that I did. Yet, I know that the frantic beating of my heart wasn’t caused by exhaustion.
When I arrived, I didn’t reach anything.
Nothing… There was nothing.
He’s gone.
Kyuhyun was gone.
He died from hazing. And my heart almost died as well. I wondered how it was still able to continue beating.
I didn’t want to live.
Everything… Everything hurt.
What I was feeling was different, totally different.
I love him. I love him but it was too late.
I love him. I love him but he was gone.
I cried; poured out all the pain I felt through my tears. His mother hugged me and when I was coherent enough, she handed me a cell phone: Kyuhyun’s cell phone.
I tapped the screen to make the device light up. And what met my sight made me tear up again; this time, with even more sorrow and ache.
It was a picture of me; a stolen picture of me. I was smiling but I wasn’t facing the camera.
A wave of nostalgia suddenly hit me. I looked so happy, and all I wanted then was to go back to those days: those days when it was just Kyuhyun and me, those days when we were so young and carefree; so ecstatic with the smallest of all things, those days when we were merely with each other, those days when we were just so happy together.
Kyuhyun and me… But now, it was impossible. There was no Kyuhyun. There will be no Kyuhyun.
“Sungmin-ah, read this.” His mother whispered.
I took the device and right there, I wanted to die as well.
Hyung, don’t touch my best friend. Please don’t hurt him.
I already did everything that you wanted, right? I avoided him, I went away from him. Just, just don’t hurt Sungmin. Please.
Because I love him, I love my best friend Lee Sungmin.
