Untitled Fiction-Kibum/Yesung, Ryeowook's there too
“Yesung, guess what?!”
“What?”
“Kibum is coming back!”
“Really?” *pause* “Are you sure, Ryeo?” Yesung’s voice was full of doubt.
“Well…Donghae told me he is.”
“Hmmm.”
“What?”
“I know Donghae wouldn’t lie about such things, but he might exaggerate something Kibum said to him.”
“Really?” Ryeowook’s voice held disappointment, and his head bowed down.
“Wait, don’t get sad yet. I…think I’ll call Kibum.” Ryeowook looks up, nodding his head in encouragement. Yesung dials.
“Hello?”
“Kibummie?”
“Yes? Who’s there?”
“Yesung.”
“Oh, Yesung hyung!” Kibum’s voice betrays excitement. “How are you? What’s up?”
“Ryeowook tells me…you’re coming back? You’ll be active with us again?”
“Um, yeah. How did he find out?”
“Donghae.”
“Oh.”
“What, only Donghae was supposed to know? For how long?”
“No, it’s not like that!” Now Kibum sounds distressed. “I’d mentioned it to Donghae today ‘cause he happened to call me. The manager was supposed to announce it tomorrow, so I didn’t think that’d be a big deal. I don’t mind him telling everyone today. I…want you all to know, but…well, it seemed calling each of you individually was unnecessary.”
“Yes…okay.” *pause* “Why are you coming back?”
“What?”
“Why are you coming back? I thought acting was IT for you, that that’s all you wanted to do, that any time you spent with us, with our activities, was WASTED.” Yesung’s voice, though in control at first, sounds upset by the end of his statement.
“Hyung!” Ryeowook exclaims, upset. “You’ll hurt his feelings.”
Kibum has said nothing in answer. Finally, Yesung speaks. “Sorry, Kibum, I-“
“No,” Kibum interrupts. “I…I’ll be there in 15 minutes.” He hangs up.
Yesung sighs. “What is it,” Ryeowook asks. “He hung up.”
“Kibum hung up on you?!” Ryeowook asks in disbelief.
“Yeah. He’s coming over now.”
“Oh.” Ryeowook is relieved. “Well, at least ya’ll can talk this out. And he owes us a visit.”
“He owes us moving back in, especially if he’s going to be active with us again.”
“How long will he be?”
“15 minutes.”
“Want to watch TV ‘til he gets here?” Ryeowook suggests.
“Sure.”
After about 15 minutes, a knock comes at the door.
“I’m answering the door, and then ya’ll can talk,” Ryeowook states, getting up.
“Okay,” Yesung agrees.
Yesung simply waits behind Ryewook as he and Kibum greet each other enthusiastically.
When Kibum approaches Yesung, though, he is sober in expression.
“Should I leave,” Ryeowook asks. “That’s not necessary,” Yesung says. Yesung pulls Kibum into a loose hug, then sits them beside each other on the couch.
“Answer my question now?” Yesung says softly.
Kibum sits quietly a moment, eyes down. When he looks up, his eyes are serious, and a little sad.
“Yesung, what you said about how I feel about acting is true. I feel about it…as Eunhyuk does about dancing, as you and Kyuhyun feel about singing, as Ryeowook does about composing, as Shindong does about being funny. I’ll always sacrifice for it, always pursue it…always hope to get better and better at it. But what you said about my time with you…it was not wasted. I don’t see it as wasted.”
Kibum looks away, tears coming to his eyes.
“I don’t see myself as a victim because of my past times as a member. I see myself as blessed. Many of you were like family, are like family, at times I’ve needed that. I love you guys.” He looks Yesung straight in the eyes.
“I know that,” Yesung says. “But…you can love us from afar, right? And since acting is your passion…why not continue as you have? Why…come back with us? Even if your past times are not wasted…”
At this, Kibum clears his throat.
“In a way, the answer is very…well, selfish. I miss you guys. I miss the bonds we had. And I want to spend more time with you. But that requires coming back with you, being active with you. So…since I’ve acted for a while, and am feeling…I can come back to it, will come back to it, will be ALLOWED to come back to it now no matter what… I’m going to take the time to be with ya’ll for now.” Kibum nods his head decisively.
“For now.”
“Yes.”
“How long is that?”
“Probably the next comeback, and not after it.”
Yesung sighs. “We’ll just get close again and then be separate.”
“Well…isn’t that the nature of friendships? That you are close for a time, then have to separate? I mean, usually that’s what happens. But I experience it a LOT with acting, so I’m used to it more than…most people.”
“No, I get that. Just…I thought we were in the separate state, and now we’re going to be close again. But it’s okay.” Suddenly Yesung smiles.
“Actually, it’s more than okay!” He launches himself at Kibum, hugging him MUCH tighter than he had when he came in. Ryeowook laughs at Kibum’s surprised look, then joins in. And Kibum hugs them back, his smile as bright as the lights in the room.
A/N: I love these three members together, so when I was making a Yebum up I HAD to include Ryeowook, too. Just had to. This fiction actually works well for me. I like it. I don't know if Kibum is coming back with SuJu, I doubt Kibum is coming back with SuJu, but...I like MAKING UP that he is. So that's why I wrote this down, and am sharing it. And any readers who'd like to suggest a title, please do. I wrote this without thinking of one and...don't feel like thinking of one before sharing it. By the way, I'm open to critiques, but don't ask for yaoi. I don't write it. And don't ask for anything rated. I don't write that either. I write what I like to read, and what reflects...who I am.
