It could've been Eunhyuk, Kyuhyun knew.
It could've been Eunhyuk who got badly hurt, broken - damaged. It could've been Eunhyuk who got stuck in the hospital without his voice, without the band, without his life. It could've been Eunhyuk who endured endlessly excruciating hours in physical therapy and brokenness that no one would ever want, that no one should ever go through.
It could've been Eunhyuk who watched the world move on without him, who had to accept the fact that the group could still work one member less - with a lot of compensation and adjustment (and make it look like they were better off as an even-numbered group anyway). He could’ve been the one who had to sit helplessly as one splintered into twelve, the jagged edges of absence piercing his young, lonely, pained heart.
It could've been Eunhyuk struggling to start over, clamping his lips against the aches that never really went away, fragile bones and bruised flesh.
It could've been Eunhyuk, Kyuhyun knew, but he was glad that it wasn't. He was glad that it was him, because Kyuhyun couldn't bear to see any one of his hyungdeul get hurt, let alone Hyukjae, with his bright bright eyes and soft heart.
It could've been Eunhyuk, but Kyuhyun was relieved that it was him instead, because he knew in his heart that he was strong enough for thirteen degrees of pain, thirteen levels of loneliness - that it took one unbreakable spirit to live for thirteen hearts.
Kyuhyun survived, victorious, slightly battered, but whole -
And thirteen was one again.
