Mending
broken hearts (10/10 - Final)
The
time comes for a pause and Hyunseung excuses himself as he leaves his
spot and run towards to stairs. He wants to spend the interval
backstage. As he reaches the corridor he’s been staring for so long
since he entered the theater, Junhyung exited by the opposite side of
the stage. He walks through the rows of seat eyes scanning carefully
but don’t find the blond head he’s looking for.
Yoseob
looks carefully right and left as he tip-toes inside the building and
toward the theater. He moves fast wishing no one would see him and
can’t help but cast worried looks around him until he bumps into
someone.
‘Oh.
I’m sorry!’ he bows to the other.
‘Don’t
worry, it’s okay’ the male says and Yoseob straightens. He is
facing a tall man wearing a black suit with a thin tie. ‘Are you
here for the show?’ he says and Yoseob blinks, he’s been staring
at him the whole time.
‘Er,
oh, yes. But I’m terribly late’ he blushes making the other
chuckle.
‘The
end is supposed the be the best anyway. But it’s a shame, you won’t
be able to see me on stage then’
Yoseob
doesn’t reply. They’re both gazing into the other’s eyes. It
should be awkward, but for some reason it isn’t. It seems to last
for hours during which they feel their hearts flutter and their
cheeks heating up but not a single word cross their lips. Suddenly
the taller of the two drops his gaze to the floor smiling.
‘We
should go’ he says gesturing to the door leading to the auditorium.
He leads Yoseob silently until they enter the room. He turns back
facing the blond head. ‘Enjoy it then’ and Yoseob watches him
walking away. As he is about to disappear from Yoseob’s view the
man turns around and shouts.
‘Maybe
I’ll see you later’ he flashes a smile running his hand through
his dark hair. Yoseob doesn’t know if it sounded like a question
but he answers anyway.
‘I’ll
be there’ and the other disappears after a last shared smile.
Junhyung
is still looking for his friend inspecting every faces he by passes.
‘Junnie!’
someone calls and he looks right and left only to see Yoseob running
to him. He frowns.
‘Where
are you running from?’ the younger shakes his head.
‘I
just came in’
‘What?
Why?’
‘Stupid
guard didn’t want to let me in, said I wasn’t on the list’ he
pouts.
‘Really?
Oh. I’m sorry Seobbie’
‘Nah
it’s okay, I waited and eventually he had to go and pee or
something’ he says with a proud smile.
‘You
missed the first half’ Junhyung answers and the blond makes a face.
‘I
know but the end is supposed to be the better one anyway, isn’t
it?’
‘You’re
right’ they chuckle. ‘Okay, let’s find you a seat’
They
eventually find an empty seat and Yoseob settles down. They chat for
a while both impressed with the fact that they still have so many
things to tell each other when they already meet often.
‘Dongwoon
is going to play the piano’ Junhyung informs.
‘Oh?
That’s great! Kikwang keeps telling me how good he is but I never
heard him play yet’ the other answers.
‘Both
Doojoon and he are great’
‘About
Doojoon, is today the day when I finally meet him? I get kinda
frustrated you guys keep talking about him when I don’t even know
him!’ Junhyung laughs.
‘You
missed him actually, he was playing during the first part, but I
guess you’ll be able to see him afterward’
‘Great!
I think I have one or two things to tell him’ he smirks.
‘What
do you mean?’ Junhyung asks lifting his brows and Yoseob chuckles.
‘From
my point of view, this guy did a great job, someone needs to
congratulate him’ the remark makes Junhyung roll his eyes.
‘Whatever’
‘You
should go back, the show will start again’ his friend replies eying
the crowd which is getting thicker around them.
‘Okay,
I’ll come and get you at the end then’
‘Yeah
yeah, go’ Yoseob waves his hands at him.

Hyunseung
reaches the room where Dongwoon and Kikwang are seated waiting for
Doojoon who came out a while ago.
‘Hey’
Dongwoon greets him and Hyunseung smiles as he joins them.
‘So,
how is it so far?’ Kikwang asks.
‘Great’
Hyunseung answers and they both look at him.
‘Really?’
Kikwang asks incredulously.
‘Really,
is that hard to believe?’ and they all burst into laughter
considering Hyunseung’s reaction the previous day.
‘People
seemed to enjoy it as well’ Dongwoon adds confidently.
‘Junhyung-hyung was quite positive about it too’
‘Did
you guys see him?’ Hyunseung asks echoing Junhyung’s question,
except the older fails to sound as casual as the other.
‘See
who?’ Doojoon asks as he just re entered the room.
‘Hey,
where were you?’ Kikwang asks.
‘Just
out for some fresh air and I bumped into someone’ he shrugs.
‘Someone
you know?’ Kikwang eyes him expectantly being the gossip lover he
is.
‘Not
yet’ Doojoon smiles widely not even looking at them. ‘Anyway,
it’s about to start’ he says looking at the coordinator waving at
them.
‘Oh.
I have to go then’ Hyunseung stands up. ‘And you were great’ he
says to Doojoon before heading downstairs and to his seat. Junhyung
chooses the same time to climb up on stage, using the same stairs he
did earlier and missing a chance to bump into Hyunseung again.
The
second part of the show is indeed more outstanding than the first
one. The audience claps their hands joyfully along with the music and
Hyunseung feels proud watching it. When the lights suddenly changes
and Dongwoon appears on stage, he props his elbows on his knees and
looks attentively. This is the tango. Kikwang appears holding hands
with a girl and some other couples are following them. Dongwoon
starts playing. Strangely, Hyunseung is relaxed because he knows
they’ll do well but he’s thinking about the rehearsals more than
about the show at this instant. He smiles unconsciously as he
remembers Junhyung’s face. What Hyunseung doesn’t know is that
Junhyung is watching as well, remembering the exact same moment until
Doojoon pats his shoulder.
‘This
smile looks creepy’ he says playfully.
‘Huh?’
‘It
isn’t Kikwang you should be staring at’ Doojoon adds ignoring the
other’s questioning face.
‘No.
I didn’t... Kikwang’ Junhyung mutters and Doojoon burst into
laughing.
‘Will
you stop denying it already? And I know this isn’t about Kikwang’
Junhyung
messes his hair before looking into Doojoon’s eyes.
‘Actually,
I’m accepting it’ he turns to stare blankly at the audience
‘starting now’ and smiles.
The
show comes to an end and performers rush backstage to redo their hair
and make-up before their last appearance on stage.
Mr
Park stands up and looks at Hyunseung.
‘Hyunseung-ah
you should come. This is your show too’ he says and the younger
just follows him. As Mr Park immediately makes his way on the stage
to announce the end of the show and thank everyone, Hyunseung looks
for his friends through the crowd.
‘I
was beginning to believe you’d never come’ a voice said behind
him. He turns around and his heart skips a beat.
‘J-
Junhyung’
‘I
thought you’d call or something’ Junhyung says with a little
smile.
‘But
you’ he frowns ‘you left without a word and-’
‘Didn’t
find my note?’
‘Note?’
Hyunseung repeats slowly, his frown deepening. Junhyung chuckles at
the sight.
‘You
really think I’d leave without a word?’ he crosses his arms over
his chest but doesn’t look anything but contented.
Before
Hyunseung could answer the coordinator appears and calls them all.
‘Okay
everybody it’s time for you to take your bow. Everybody up!’ he
orders.
The
performers head to the stage and Hyunseung feels Junhyung’s hand on
his back pushing him forward. Doojoon settles on his other side and
smiles at him. Dongwoon and Kikwang are both besides Junhyung. The
curtains open and the loud cheers from the audience resound through
the room. Junhyung grabs Hyunseung’s hand and they all bow low,
thanking the crowd. They stand there on stage and Hyunseung stares at
Junhyung. The latter chuckles.
‘What’s
wrong?’ Hyunseung looks at their hands and shakes his head.
‘I
don’t’ he pauses and smiles ‘I’m not complaining but you seem
to have changed your mind’
‘I
just realized something’ Junhyung shrugs.
‘Ah?’
Hyunseung asks lifting his brows. ‘Which is?’
Junhyung
uses their linked hands to bring Hyunseung closer and he speaks into
his ear.
‘My
life really sucks without you’ and Hyunseung squeezes his hand
while a wide grin is plastered on his lips.
In
the audience, Yoseob is watching. He smiles warmly when he realizes
they’re holding hands, he’s happy for Junhyung, for them. Then
his eyes fall on someone, and his heart skips a beat. This is the man
he bumped into in the hall. He doesn’t believe in love at first
sight, really. But as he’s watching the tall, handsome man with his
spiky dark hair and his proud smile, he forgets about all he used to
believe in. And when the said male waves at him and smiles widely,
Yoseob thinks that maybe, he just succeeded in mending his broken
heart as well.
A/N:
I’m sorry about the mistakes, I didn’t find time to read through
this again ><
This
thing took me forever... I can’t believe I had that amount of
things coming up at the same time really and I wasn’t able to write
anything.
I
hope you like the ending, I’m not too sure about it. I have this
weird feeling... Maybe it’s just because this is the end. I don’t
know. At least, they’re finally together and no one is broken
hearted anymore! Not even our beloved Doojoon :)
I
didn’t imagine the end could be so frustrating! Thank you all so
much for reading this and supporting me the whole time. I still don’t
believe I deserve this but thank you! <3
