[OnTae] The pawns go first
The pawns go first.

And it's all in my head but
She's touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go
“I like you. No. I” Jinki takes in a breath, reconstructs his thoughts fast enough so that when he speaks them out they’ll pertain the purity he wants to convey. “I really like you. I think you’re amazing and you have. You have this way of making me smile. Like every inch of me is smiling. And when you talk to me I swear to God all I hear is you. You’re voice is the only music I know.”
The feeling in Taemin’s heart as he stares into Jinki’s eyes start out as a tingle then it explodes, spreads into millions of jolts hiding beneath the creases. It numbs his body and breaks the balls of his knees, making his stance weak, but he remains strong, exudes nonchalance as if that were the truth.
“What do you think, Taemin?” Jinkis’s eyes glow like expectant warm white bulbs.
“That was great, hyung.”
“Do you think Luna will like it?” Jinki presses his front teeth onto his bottom lip.
Taemin makes use of every muscle in his face to force out a smile. And the more it grows the more his heart shambles into pieces of useless strings, making their way to the pit of his stomach.
“She’ll love it.”
“Alright.” Jinki turns away, grabs the flowers he settled on the pavement of the sidewalk. He runs up the stairs to her apartment door, looks back at Taemin with one last smile before going inside.
Taemin doesn’t run to Jinki and stop him. He doesn’t do what most protagonists (in films he’s seen millions of times) would do when in pursuit of the person they value more than their own existence. Love is never real when it isn’t reciprocated. And the tears he was wasting at this very moment, as they roll down like miniature waterfalls on his cheeks, will never be acknowledged as tears of a broken heart.
And maybe it is unfair because Taemin knows that he would give everything to Jinki. But then, Jinki would do anything for someone else. So, he just stands firm, waits until the pain in his chest becomes too much to bare.
Because it was always him. And it will always be him. Until the sun sets. Until the world ends. Until the last beat.
