“I am sorry,”
The only word he can barely said. The only word that could change the plot of his life story and the only word he wish that the other half of his life will listen. The wind brushes his beautiful scarred face makes him feels chill for tonight. He is sitting at the edge of the building while his feet is dangling in the air. He hold tightly the bottle that enough to make him drunk for tonight. A beep is heard next to him and he looks at the object that connects him to his other half.
Remember, tomorrow.
The simple message could bring him to tears and heart ache. He never knew that the disaster event could lead this chapter of his life. After successfully calm himself, he stands up and being a good dancer gives him an advantage to balance his body on the edge of the building. He walks to his apartment and let the sleep consuming his world.
The next day, he wakes up and feeling slight headache He cursed when he notices his window is open last night and the cold had given his body slight elevated temperature but he tries to open his eyes Unfortunately, he couldn't. A ring is heard next to him and he answers without giving a look at his caller id.
“Hankyung ah, you promised to pick him up at nine Now, Henry is waiting for you. I got lots of work to do, can you please hurry up?” said the caller and Hankyung recognizes the voice even without looking at the caller id. He had miss his other half badly and the divorce has taken a great toll on him. His heart clenches but he knew he need to stay strong for dear only son.
“Ok,” he simply replied but the call had ended right after the reply.
At ten in the morning, Hankyung arrived at the mansion. He enters the house like he used but it brings more painful memory for him. He sees his other half is struggling to juggle between his briefcase and their 4 months old adopted son.
Kyuhyun notices Hankyung at the entrance and quickly walks to Hankyung, “I just fed him and here is Henry's clothes for the weekend,” he said while giving Hankyung their baby. Kyuhyun's heart could not take it anymore. Their divorce makes him tired and less motivated. He never thought their families are cruel enough to separate them and now he had to act cold towards his soul mate.
Hankyung just nod his head and looks at their baby then he left the mansion like it used to. Kyuhyun is speechless and sits on the floor abruptly while crying silently, “I love you, Hankyung,” he said.
“Forever and ever,”
The words still lingering on their words, the ring that witness their vows and Henry is the key to their life. Yet, never they knew their families has been rival and never gives up to each other to separate them. Still, they were bonded and with a slight hope, their families will accept them and there will be a new episode for the two famous rival families. Fate plays on them, the two families decide to break the bond and they create many stories about both of them till leads lost of trust between the two of them. On January 6th, the lovers signed on a piece of white paper. The two hearts cannot take it but they had to do it for their own sake. Few months after the nightmare, the scheme had been noticed by the two hearts but they accept it. The two families smile with satisfaction but the two hearts lost their cards in the cruel game except one card, Henry. The only card that connects their two shattered hearts.
“It's the only way I can meet you, my love,” Kyuhyun whispered and look at the scenery outside his office. The night is full of light and he remembers the memory of the night. The night where they were happily laughter while watching a bored drama. Commenting each line of script while sipping the hot cocoa. Hankyung is sitting next to him while Kyuhyun hugs his husband. It was the only night that brings warm to his cold night but now, everything has changed. Whenever he goes home, he feels cold and alone. He hates the feeling but it is the price he had to go through. Since after the divorce, he has vow to himself to never love anyone except his love, Hankyung. Numerous dates his family had set up for him and his family also had offer him a great position in the company but Kyuhyun coldly rejects them. He never shows any sympathy to his so called family anymore. He had put on beautiful mask in front of people and now he had known as the silent prey in the business world. He ruthlessly rejects any business deals or he will force the people to do work according to his perfection. Many people are afraid to join venture with him but their fate will be unlucky if Kyuhyun shows interest on their project.
Hankyung smiles sweetly while playing with his son at his bedroom. The bundle of joy not knowing the ordeal of his fathers need to face but the boy giving his cute smile to ease his father's pain. Hankyung never regrets the decision made by Kyuhyun. In fact, he is thankful to God for opening Kyuhyun's heart to let the boy enter their life.
“Let's bring him home,”
The word still buried in his mind and never he knew that word will be the last time he will heard from his lover. Three weeks after the adoption process, they separated. He is confused and lost in his own world. He thought with Henry in their house will change the black episode but it proves him wrong. He did not notice the the tone and the expression from his spouse when he said the word. He thought it is just a little hope for both of them. After the divorce, he realized the sudden decision from his love of his life. Henry is their last card and he will love Henry like his own son. He knew Kyuhyun will never made a wrong move despite everything they had gone through. He looks at his four month old son and smile, “you are our little miracle, Henry. Umma is waiting for us and we need to walk this path and let the miracle happens,” he said to his baby with soft tone. Henry makes a gurgle sound and plays with his father's hands.
It has been six years after the divorce and Henry has grown up as a beautiful boy. His smiles lightens up the two hearts and he has seen his fathers sadness. Kyuhyun and Haknyung had been meeting occasionally but their meetings only last for few minutes like it used to be. Every night, they silently wish that this will be stopped.
“Baba, I want to meet Papa,” whined the six years old boy and Kyuhyun looks at his son.
“Papa is busy this week,” said Kyuhyun and crouching to his son's level while stroking his son's hair.
“But...Baba,” he whined again and Kyuhyun sighs. He knew the boy has been missing his other father and it has been a month they haven't met. Kyuhyun gives up with his son's request and follows his son's wish. He drives to Hankyung's company and waits for his lover after texting his message. Fifteen minutes later, they met. Their faces blush like they were first time fall in love and Henry notices the change.
“Baba, papa, I am hungry,” said the boy and surprises the adults.
“Well, you can follow me to the cafeteria,” said Hankyung and Kyuhyun just look at the interaction between them.
“I want to eat with baba and papa,” replied Henry loudly.
“Henry ah, you said you miss your papa. You can go with papa to have your lunch,” Kyuhyun tried to calm down his son.
“I want baba and papa. I want to eat with baba and papa,” he wailed and stomps his feet. He begins to cry without apparent reason and the adults becomes awkward with each other.
“Ok, baba will eat with me,” Hankyung replied and Kyuhyun feels surprise with the sudden statement.
Henry smiles widely and request to eat at another place and it means they have to ride the car together. Hankyung decides to drive for them while Henry sits with his father. The car ride is not as awkward as it seems because Henry talk with them and they feel like they are a real family. Without they realized, an unknown truck is in front of them and the happiness of life ends there.
“Afternoon news, an accident had been reported on Highway 4 where it involves a truck and four cars on the opposite lane. Five dead while the remaining are sent to the nearby hospital. Among the victims had die on the accident are the famous Cho Kyuhyun and Hankyung with their son, Henry. It is reported that...”
Till death do us apart.
The End of the Kyuhyun and Hankyung's story. I never know, this story will be written this way, I knew the couple like they are my own family. It's not a fairytale but it's a true story. Sadly, people of this city thought that this is an Unfortunate Love Story Fairytale. I could only wish that this story will not be written at other people life. I need to stop writing for tonight as I fear my heart could not take the pain of love and loss. Good night. -Sincerely, XXX-
