Summary : Jonghyun is bothered. FAIL SUMMARY
Walking. He was walking a rather fast paced walk. His mind was disturbed. He didn’t know where he was heading to. He just let his feet carry him past the trees, past the hundreds of people, towards this place. This place which he hadn’t been or at least he thought he hadn’t been before. His feet finally stopped in front of a graveyard, and weirdly, his mind was at ease. This isn’t right. The hell should be scared out of me while I’m standing here. He looked inside the gate of the graveyard, looking for something familiar, something that brought him there. He just scratched his head when he couldn’t figure out what was possibly the reason for his visit, so he walked away, back to his apartment.
It was always like that. After work, he would always walk towards the graveyard, beckoned by some unknown force to go there, immediately coming back to his senses when faced with the gates that blocked him and the eerie place where the dead slept for eternity.
He returned to his quiet apartment. He was living there alone. He wasn’t sad though, his TV was keeping him company. He started on dinner placing the left-over pizza from last night on the oven. I’m pretty sure this place wasn’t as lonely before. Thoughts from nowhere came into his head as he was staring at the pizza rotating in the oven. Whoa~ what am I saying? I’ve been living alone since forever.
* *
“I promise you, I’ll love you forever, Taemin-ah” he lovingly whispered to his lover. Taemin cuddled closer to Jonghyun in their couch while they were watching he television. A smile made it’s way to the lips of the younger male as he heard the words escaping the elder’s mouth. Jonghyun nudged the younger, failing to receive a response. The younger just faced the older and kissed him, soft andd gentle. He parted, smiling. Jonghyun couldn’t help but smile too. He put his face closer to Taemin’s that their foreheads were touching. “Don’t leave me, okay baby?” he said. “Never Taemin-ah. Never.” And he leaned in for another kiss, this one, longer.
* *
He woke up the next morning. Traces of his dreams were leaving him. First, the face of the person, he forgot how it looked like. Next, the feelings he had for this person, he also forgot what it was. Everything started escaping his memory, except one little detail. Taemin, why is that name so familiar to me? He went on with his regular routine. Work, then the graveyard, then the apartment. His mind was still thinking who this Taemin was, his neurons working so hard to access that information. He surrendered and fell asleep.
* *
Jonghyun was getting into the kiss when the sound of loud sirens rang in his ears. It was so noisy, his eyes flew open. What he saw shocked him. His lover, who was safe and sound in his arms a moment ago, was lying on the street, blood covering his body. Coldness, stinging coldness thickened the air. Jonghyun was at a loss for words. He clutched the body of his lover close to him. Tears started falling from his eyes. “Mr. Kim? Are you his boyfriend? He was stabbed a lot of times, and his belongings were missing. Apparently only his cellphone was retained. This was a robbery. And well, Mr. Kim, we’re going to look for the one responsible for this.” Jonghyun just stared at the lifeless body that used to dance so gracefully. Tears continued flowing from his eyes. “Taemin-ah, Taemin-ah” he screamed.
* *
He woke up in the middle of the night, screaming that name. Who was this Taemin? Why did that scene seem so familiar to me? Details soon started escaping him, but he didn’t forget the fact that someone did die in his dream. “I really don’t remember anything” he said out loud. He took his cellphone and dialed his bestfriend’s number. Kibum answered in one ring. “Yeoboseyo?”
“Kibum? Kibum could you come down here, please?”
Kibum and his boyfriend, Jinki, went up to Jonghyun’s apartment at 1 AM. They were the best of friends, the three of them. They were sitting in the dining room table, with Jonghyun whipping up some coffee. He gave the two a cup of steaming coffee, and he sat in front of them. He was looking down on his coffee, Jinki was taking a sip of his own, while Kibum was looking worriedly at Jonghyun. Jonghyun was lost in his thoughts about this Taemin person as Kibum asked him, “Jjong, what’s the problem?” He slowly looked up, staring at Kibum, to Jinki, and back to Kibum. “Kibum, I want to know..” his voice trailing off. “I-I have been having this dreams lately.”
“Mmhm?”
“W-who.. is this Taemin?”
Kibum’s eyes flew open, and helped his lover as Jinki choked on his coffee with the worlds Jonghyun let out. Jonghyun confusedly looked at the both of them with Jinki still coughing and Kibum wiping Jinki’s face with his handkerchief. As Jinki stopped coughing, Kibum looked at Jonghyun and said, “I think we need to take a drive.”
The three of them drove down a path Jonghyun knew so well now. He walked several times towards this place. “Jinki-hyung? Are we going to the graveyard?” Jonghyun asked. Surprised, Kibum asked “You remember the graveyard?” And so Jonghyun told them of how he would absentmindedly get to the gate of the graveyard, not proceeding inside due to the lack of reason. “..and so I would return to my apartment ‘cause I don’t understand why I was there in the first place.” Kibum and Jinki didn’t interrupt him while he was talking. “Hey, aren’t we there yet?”
They stopped at the gate of the graveyard. The three of them stepped out. Kibum looked at Jonghyun with sad eyes. He didn’t know why, so he stared confused at Kibum. They walked into the graveyard, past tombstones. They stopped at one with a vase carrying dried roses.
Jonghyun sat on his knees and wiped the tombstone clean with his sleeve. Lee Taemin it read. He sat staring at it for five minutes. He could hear silent muffled sobs and he looked up. Jinki was already hugging the crying Kibum. So apparently, this Taemin person was close to Kibum too. He looked at Jinki and he could see tears flowing from his eyes as well. And he was close to Jinki. But who is this Taemin to me?
He looked at the flowers, touching it, the suddenly, he remembered something. He was the one who brought the flowers here. He used to go here everyday after work to talk to this person, replacing these flowers every three days. “Kibum, who is this Taemin? Who is this to me?” which made Kibum cry harder.
* *
He was running, chasing someone down the dark alley. “Yah! Come back here you robber!” He just kept running until he couldn’t hear footsteps anymore. He reached a darker side of the street and he thought retreating would be a good idea just about then It was too late when he realized it, and as he turned around something wooden hit him hard in the head.
* *
Jonghyun woke up from a nap. He was still at work facing his computer. He tried remembering what he was doing down that alley. Who could I be possibly chasing? What thing hit my head? Then a thought it him. He started typing Lee Taemin on his computer and started the search engine..
‘Lee Taemin, Killed in a Robbery’
‘Lee Taemin, the famous dancer, killed by a robber’
Okay, so this Taemin was a famous dancer and he killed in a robbery, but I need to know more. He though. He was really frustrated this time,
‘Lee Taemin Engaged, to be wed in 8 Months’. He clicked the article.
Lee Taemin, the world famous dancer, is engaged to non showbusiness person. The real estate broker, Kim Jonghyun, was reported asking for the hand of the dancer in marriage.. and the words blurred before his eyes.
The article was updated, continuing: however, the tragic death of the dancer led to the sadness of the whole country. Not long after, his fiancé lost his memory while chasing down the robber. The police already caught the robber and placed him in jail. Jonghyun was recollecting and connecting his dreams. His memory was coming back, all his memories with Taemin causing tears to form.
* *
He went to the graveyard after work, this time entering and proceeding to the grave he missed so much. Carrying fresh flowers, he replaced the dried ones.
“Taemin-ah, I’m sorry I forgot for a while. But I remember now, I remember my promise. I kept it, see? I’d never leave you. I’d never ever love anyone but you..” he said crying.
He then sang the song Taemin always wanted to hear.
♪ I can never start another day
I'm living on our memories
so it`s everyday oh every night
I will never go another way
The days I've walked with you is happiness
I promise you I promise you
I won't leave you, ever again ♫
He proceeded to singing the song knowing his lover was listening somewhere. Jonghyun will be keeping his promise not to leave Taemin and not to love anybody but him. He kept crying while singing, but smiled in the end. Even with the knowledge that he lost the love of his life, his mind was, at least, at ease.
A/N: I wrote this because I was so inspired with this song.
And I swear Jonghyun sounds like one of them. :))
So tell me what you think :D
