It was 1 in the morning when Kibum got a phone call and he reached out blindly for his phone.
“Hello..” he muttered sleepily into the receiver.
“I just got dumped.” the deep voice on the other end said. In fact, those four words were all the other said for the next few minutes. Kibum did not know what to say so he just kept quiet.
The deep baritone ranted and asked Kibum all the whys and hows and whats, but Kibum just listened and let the other poured his heart out.
“All I want is someone to come home to. That’s all I want..” the voice finally said.
Me too, Kibum said in his heart.
Kibum stayed quiet. The voice on the other end stayed silent too. Both of them were so quiet that not even the sound of their breathing could be heard, but they knew the other was still there.
Not long afterwards, Kibum swore he heard quiet sobs. He blinked a few times and sat up straight in surprise.
“Are you crying?” he asked silently.
“A bit..”
As Kibum let the other cry, he felt his eyes filled with tears and he bit his lip, fighting his own urge to cry. He wanted to soothe the other guy. He wanted to tell him it was okay. He wanted to say he loved him. But he kept his mouth shut and listened to the other man's sobs. It had been about an hour since they were on the phone, but neither wanted to hang up though there was nothing to say.
Suddenly, a caller ringtone blasted on the other side and Kibum knew the other man had a call and he was right when the other said, “Hey.. I gotta go.. I’ve got a call..”
Kibum muttered a quiet okay and heard the other hung up. Kibum snuggled back into the sheets while staring at the name on the top of his ‘last call received’ list. Minho.
He placed his phone beside his pillow and closed his eyes. A single tear escaped his closed lids as he remembered Minho’s words : “All I want is someone to come home to..”
Kibum clasped his mouth with his left hand and covered his already closed eyes with his right.
Minho, You’re a heart without a home.. I’m without mine too..
Moments later, Kibum finally fell asleep with an aching heart - a heart that whispered into the darkness, a plea sent to God in silence, Maybe one day both of our hearts will find their way home..
