001 Freefall Eeteuk/Kangin
Would you catch me if I fall? Would you be there to hold me?
I would.
Promise?
Promise.
A pack of lies. A bitter smile hung on Kangin’s face as he gulped down another bottle of beer. He could still remember the day when he first met Jungsu, no wait, he’s Lee Teuk now. He had a really high-pitched laugher that made Kangin clenched his fists, and threatened him to stop laughing as it was too girly. However, he learnt to adore this laughter of his.
Soon, they were in love with each other. Kangin couldn’t remember who confessed first; the alcohol seeping into his brain and intoxicating his mind. But it doesn’t matter much; what matter was that the feelings were mutual and they were happy.
However, the happiness shared was short lived. Jungsu always wanted to enter the entertainment circle and become someone famous. Kangin thought otherwise. He had hoped that the two of them could be just normal people and live normal lives. But apparently Jungsu found the idea repulsive.
“Kangin, just think of the money we can earn by becoming celebrities. People all over would adore you and you can perform on shows and meet other cool celebrities!”
Kangin thought that it was enough that he had Jungsu’s love. The rest did not matter. Still, knowing that was Jungsu’s greatest wish, Kangin gave him the support that he wanted and pretty soon, Jungsu officially debuted and became popular.
Kangin remained the same, always being the caring guy and living on a normal life. But he guessed that Jungsu didn’t like that. The fact that he was too normal and there was no more connection between them. The fact that they rarely met each other and have a proper conversation. By the time Lee teuk reached home, Kangin was already out to work.
Their relationship was not working anymore.
Then it was until he picked up the newspapers on his way home when he read the headlines.
LEE TEUK AND JESSICA HAVE BEEN DATING FOR 3 MONTHS IN SECRET
His world crashed.
So that’s why they never talked anymore.
That very day, Kangin moved out from their home and went back to his old home in Mokpo. Jungsu promised him that he will love him forever.
He guessed promises are meant to be broken after all.
