Another summer day
Is come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh I miss you, you know
It is raining hard outside and Kibum starts to feel the chill emitted from the rain. Kibum is lying in his bed; inside one of the many hotels he stays in whenever he has a shooting. Kibum never really likes sleeping in a hotel. There’s just something about hotel rooms that he finds uncomfortable about. Oh okay, just scratch that. Kibum just doesn’t like to sleep alone. Sleeping in a hotel room meaning he has to sleep alone. For years, Kibum is used to sleeping with other people in the dorm so when he sleeps alone like this, he just feels like something’s missing. No, no, not the snores that Youngwoon-hyung produces in his sleep or the sleeptalks from Donghae-hyung but the sense of security and of togetherness that Kibum always misses.
Kibum misses all of his Super Junior brothers but Kibum has to admit that he misses one particular member the most, the magnae. Kibum was used to being the magnae until Kyuhyun came along. For the first time in his life, he is a hyung to somebody. He remembers the first impression he got from Kyuhyun. The boy looked too cold, too collected, and too distant. Kibum didn’t really care back then. He was known as Super Junior’s Ice Prince anyway. It was not his job to go all friendly with the new member; it was Jungsu’s and Donghae’s. But one changed it all.
Hyukjae lost to him for the umpteenth time in the Winning Eleven game and Kibum started to feel bored. ‘Isn’t there anyone in this dorm worth having a battle with?’ he thought. That’s when Kyuhyun stepped in. Later that night, he didn’t only find a person worth having a Winning Eleven battle with (for he lost 7 times straight to Kyuhyun that night) but he also found a bestfriend and a precious little brother. Tonight, like any other night that followed that incident, Kibum misses his little brother.
And I've been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
"I'm fine baby, how are you?"
Well I would send them but I know that it's just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that
It’s not like they don’t contact each other at all. They call each other, many times a day if they both are not busy and only twice a day if they’re busy. They send text messages to each other in between Kyuhyun’s vocal practice and Kibum’s shooting. They send emails if they have something big to tell the other because text messages aren’t enough to convey their feelings and phone calls can be barely made due to their busy schedule. But deep inside, they know.
Phone calls are not the same as talking to each other face to face. Kibum misses seeing the twinkle in the magnae’s eyes when he’s excited, the gloom when he’s sad, and the glint when the younger is being mischievous. Text messages are not the same as the times their shoulders touch when they sit together on the couch, playing the PlayStation until morning or the times they snicker behind their hyungs’ backs when they manage to pull a prank on them, being totally annoying to their hyungs for a day. Emails are not the same as cramping in Kyuhyun’s or Kibum’s bed at night. They just lie there in the dark, side by side. Sometimes they talk but most of the time they don’t, just feeling each other’s presence is enough. To them, there are things that can’t be described with words. These are the times when they try to surmise each other’s thoughts and lace their fingers together if one of them shivers.
And I feel just like I'm living someone else's life
It's like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
But this was not your dream
But you always believe in me
It feels so right yet so wrong, being here. Kibum has always dreamed of being an actor. That’s why he auditioned for SM but apparently fate has brought him to another direction. Now, he is a singer first then an actor. He is Super Junior’s Kibum first then Kim Kibum the actor, not that Kibum minds. He is, after all, a Super Junior member and Kibum is proud of it. Kibum remembers the first drama offer he received. He was so excited yet so anxious. This was his lifelong dream but he cowered in front of it. And just like that night, when Kibum was bored to death for winning so many times of Winning Eleven game over Hyukjae, Kyuhyun stepped in.
They cramped in Kibum’s bed that night. Silence reigned over them as Kibum felt Kyuhyun’s hand grasped his own hand under the blanket. “The script is really good. I think you should take it. There won’t be a chance like this again,” Kibum remembers Kyuhyun saying that. Kibum tightened his hand on Kyuhyun at that. Kyuhyun lightly chuckled and continued saying,”well, we won’t have much time together but hey, this is your dream. I say, seize it! You’ve wanted to do this all your life, just as much as I want to sing my heart out on stage. It’s not like we won’t see each other again. What is the function of the cellphone then? Come on, Kibum! I know you can do it!”
Kibum remembers laughing at the magnae’s encouragement. He lightly punched Kyuhyun’s shoulder. The next day, Kibum signed the contract with a determination in his mind, ‘I will make my little brother proud!”
Another winter day has come
And gone away
And even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home
And I'm surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel alone
Oh, let go home
Oh, I miss you, you know
Kibum is still tossing around in his bed. He hasn’t seen his little brother since Super Show II After Party and now he misses him so much. Kibum glances at the clock on the nightstand. It says 03.49 AM. Kibum is sure that the magnae’s not asleep yet. After all, they spent so much time together playing games until morning. He reaches for his phone under his pillow. He immediately calls the person whose cellphone number he remembers by heart. He waits for several seconds before the person on the other line picks up his call. His body visibly relaxes when he hears the other person’s voice. With a smile plastered on his face, he says, “I miss you, dongseng”
Let me go home
I've had my run
Baby, I'm done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It will all be allright
I'll be home tonight
I'm coming back home
A/N: because I miss Kibum so damn much…
