Author’s Notes: I wanted to write this is as soon as I learned about it but my hand was being uncooperative and was hurting way too much to even use it for anything. Anyway, this is based on
this interview with YunHo in which he explains why one his girlfriends broke up with him. :D
Disclaimers: None of the Dong Bang Shin Ki and Super Junior boys are mine, only the plot is.
----------------------------------------------------------
In case the sun shines.
He storms into the apartment, obviously upset. His eyes are sharp, anger and frustration seeping out of them, and yet you see the red lines. He’s been crying, pouring his heart out in the falling snow. He paces around the room and you wait until he finishes his little revolution around the chair you’re sitting on (you try not to mention that you are not the sun and he is not the earth). He lets out an irritated cry after his sixth-seventh or eighth, but who’s really counting?-and stops just right in front of you.
She thinks you’re my girlfriend, hyung. Girlfriend, he emphasizes and starts pacing around you again. He doesn’t say anything more, doesn’t expound on what happened after, and you think he doesn’t need to. You know the next line, the next part of the story: he explains who you are, she doesn’t believe him. He tries to make her understand, she sticks with what she believes she saw. She walks away, he holds her back. She releases his hold on her, breaks up with him and leaves him alone while the snow falls. Very telenovela.
He paces around you and you pretend not to count (nineteen, twenty, twenty-one).
You want to assure him that it’s not his fault, she doesn’t deserve him if he can’t trust him not to date someone else while he’s with her. But you don’t; he doesn’t need to hear these things right now, especially since he can blame you for being too girly, for dressing in pink. You have a rebuttal, though; he steals all your best clothes and you know he doesn’t like wearing pink. In the end, it will still be his fault and he will still be in the doldrums. Bad ending, you think.
Forty-three, forty-four, forty-five-and he stops in front of you again. He is near tears, you can see, and the snow has stopped falling outside the window. There will be nothing to hide his tears now, nothing to cover up his breaking heart. You take one of his hands and pull him onto your lap. Hyung, he starts but you shush him, running your fingers through his hair. He falls, breaks down and you gather him up, trying your best to keep the pieces close-putting him back together will require too much effort if he’s all over the place.
You don’t count his tears, don’t even try to count how long he’s been crying. He’s fallen asleep now, tearstains all over his cheeks. You hold him close and think tomorrow, the sun might shine. Tomorrow, the snow will dry up, if only partially. Tomorrow, you will try to make the earth go around again.
Even if it won’t be around you.
