Rating: PG
Summary: Plans falls apart in your hands.
A/n: A fic I wrote when EXO just debut.
Baekhyun has been standing outside the apartment for a good ten mintues now. He tried ringing the bell but no one came to answer. He came prepared with a spare key to their apartment in his pocket knowing that something like this would happen. He opened the door and stepped into the cold lifeless apartment. Kyungsoo wasn’t in the living room like he promised he would be.
He made his way to his bedroom only to see Kyungsoo lying on the bed. He hasn’t changed yet like what Baekhyun had expected. How would Kyungsoo accept this easily? At least he didn’t choose to escape it with death.
“Kyungsoo-ah, get prepared. Chanyeol is waiting for us.” Kyungsoo nodded slightly as he slowly sat on the bed. It’s only been five days but he looked like he hasn’t been eating well for months. He looked too skinny, as if he would break down any moment. His lips were chapped and he looked pale.
“I’ll come out when I’m ready.” He forced up a smile, he should have prepared himself hours ago but he didn’t. He was still trying to grip on to the last few minutes before facing the cruel reality.
“If you don’t want to-” Baekhyun didn’t want to push Kyungsoo to accepting it if he don’t want to. It’s like he would never want to accept the fact that Chanyeol is… No he doesn’t even want to think about losing the taller male.
“I want to. I want to be there to send him off.” He cut Baekhyun off immediately, putting up an assuring smile but not yet convincing enough to say he’s fine.
“Okay. I’ll wait for you in the living room”
“Jongin, you are really lucky.” Chanyeol pouted as he watched Kyungsoo opened the bento boxes he prepared beforehand for Jongin. Although he prepared in the morning, his bento was well kept in a warmer bag, the rice was still warm. Chanyeol bit lightly on his chopstick, eyes filled with envy. The four of them had been best friend since forever yet only Jongin get to handmade bento. He looked down back to his cold, loveless bento and sighed in sync with his best buddy, Baekhyun.
“Why?” Jongin asked, not getting why they were envying him. Kyungsoo just smiled and passed Jongin the utensil he prepared. It only further depressed the other two friends, the different treatment they were receiving. They were practically sulking in front of the both of them. What did Jongin do in his last life to deserve this wonderful treatment?
“Kyungsoo always prepare for you such delicious bento, while Baekhyun and I have to eat these MSG filled bento.” Chanyeol complained while chewing on a piece of old chicken meat in his mouth. Baekhyun continued eating but his eyes were still staring at them. Looking at how Kyungsoo looked at Jongin and the smile on Jongin’s face.
“You two look just like couples.” Baekhyun commented suddenly. Chanyeol couldn’t help to nod in agreement. Every ingredient in the bento was all Jongin’s favourite. He’s the only one getting attention from Kyungsoo. They are practically living in their own world with the only two of them. Jongin only laughed at his two envy friends.
“We are not.” He paused before wrapping an arm around Kyungsoo.
“We are husband and wife. You have worked hard, Yeobo.” He picked up a piece of grilled chicken and feed Kyungsoo. He played along with him but he knows clearly that they can only be friends. Nothing more than friends. It’s not possible for Jongin, who had numerous girlfriends, to be gay.
He looked at himself in the mirror. He looked pretty messed up. He almost couldn’t recognize the figure in the mirror. His pale face made the little mustache on his face even more obvious. He scoffed at his own reflection, he thought he can be strong and accept it like a man but he can’t. He realized he couldn’t.
He’s lost without him.
Kyungsoo could read Jongin like an open book. He knows something was bothering Jongin because he hasn’t been acting like himself the whole day. He was quiet and giving out a leave-me-alone aura. After school, he went to the library to continue his thoughts. It was the place that Jongin would never go. Kyungsoo sat at a corner, waiting for him to think through his thoughts.
When his thoughts gets too messed up, Jongin will then give up and set off to the stadium. He would then start running till he’s too tired to think about anything.
After running around the track for twenty rounds, Jongin felt exhausted. He’s too tired to think about anything. He laid himself in the middle of the empty track, closing his eyes and enjoying the cool breeze. After being lost in his own world, he felt something cold against his cheeks. He opened his eyes slowly, adjusting to the brightness.
Kyungsoo was standing there with an angelic smile and he was pressing the cold isotonic drink against his cheeks.
“Here”
After finish bathing, he came out of the toilet took some time staring at the suit that hang in front of the cupboard. Every of their memories became a scene from a movie. A movie of a very old past.
After today, everything will be just a part of my memories
You will never exist in my future.
He then grabbed the suit to change into it.
Jongin was sulking on their way home. Although he had received a lot of chocolate from the girls at school, he was still not happy. He was waiting for that person’s chocolate. He remembered nagging him for the whole of last week. He looked down kicking the small stone along the way.
“Jongin-ah, here.” Kyungsoo then waved the small blue gift box, tied with a pink ribbon in front of Jongin, The tanned boy was shocked by his sudden action. He thought he was never going to receive it from Kyungsoo.
“Is it for me?” He looked at Kyungsoo, waiting for his confirmation that all it wasn’t some girls that asked him to pass it to him.
“Of course. I made it especially for you.” Kyungsoo smiled showing his usual heart shape smile. Jongin took the chocolate from Kyungsoo’s hands carefully. A wide grinned slowly appeared on his face.
“I’m not deaf you know.” Kyungsoo felt a little embarrassed and quickly walked away to hide it. After realizing Kyungsoo was walking away, Jongin immediately ran up to him.
“Come, Yeobo. Let me give you a kiss.” Jongin said playfully. He pulled their distance closer but only to receive the older male’s rejection.
“Go away.” He pushed him away, hard enough to maintain a safe distance between them.
Baekhyun started to get worried but yet can’t go in to check on him since he told him he would wait for him. He stood up from the couch and made his way to the bedroom. Kyungsoo was standing at the door, staring at the empty room.
“Kyungsoo?” Baekhyun called out his name softly, hoping that it would manage to call his soul back to earth. Kyungsoo turned around and gave a small smile to Baekhyun.
“I’m ready to go now.”
Kyungsoo wanted to run away but Jongin caught him from behind and hugged the older male tightly in his arms.
“I love you.” Although he sounded sincere, it sounded like love between two brothers. Kyungsoo don’t want his love for him to be a joke for Jongin to pull because he used his heart to love him whole heartedly. Even if it’s disgusting to have a guy loving another guy, he still felt that his feelings should still be respected.
“It’s not funny, Jongin. Let me go.” Kyungsoo tried to struggle out from his warmth embrace but was tightly locked in his arms.
“I’m serious, Kyungsoo. I thought about it clearly last night and…” Jongin then turned Kyungsoo over to look at him. Kyungsoo’s eyes were filled with tears that threatened to fall. Jongin cupped his cheeks gently.
“I just realized how much I don’t want to lose you. I really love you, Kyungsoo…”
Kyungsoo was seat at the back alone just staring out the window, getting lost in those memories that only now bring throbbing pain in his heart.
You were the one who say you won’t let go
Yet you’re the one letting go…
They were on a little date at a park on a weekend. It was supposedly just the two of them until a young little girl came running towards Kyungsoo. She tugged the hem of his shirt excitedly. Kyungsoo knelt down on the floor and stayed at the same eye level with her. She was smiling brightly.
“Teacher! Teacher! Is this your boyfriend?” She asked curiously while looking at Kyungsoo with her big eager eyes. They were holding hands before she came running to them. Kyungsoo didn’t know what to say to her. Should he go along with it or should he be in denial? Before he could even come to a decision, Jongin knelt down beside him, patting the girl’s head gently.
“Of course not, I’m his husband.” His answer only made him flushed in red as he did not expect he would say that. His reply only made the young little girl smile even happier.
“Amber oppa told me that she saw you with your boyfriend a few days ago a restaurant. Yay! Amber oppa didn’t lie to me.” She cheered and jumped around excited. Kyungsoo frowned again when he heard Sulli calling Amber oppa again. It was the nth time he corrected her but she never bothered to change.
“Sulli, how many times did I told you that you cannot call Amber oppa? You should call her unnie.” He corrected her. Sulli just pouted his cheeks before turning herself to Jongin.
“Oppa. You must be careful of Sehun oppa, he is your rival.” She grinned.
“I will. Thank you.” He ruffled her hair.
“Bye bye! Teacher and Teacher’s husband.” She waved his hand frantically before running back to her parents’ arms. The two of them then stood up and look at each other. Jongin wrapped his arms around his lover’s waist, pulling their distance close.
“Who is that Sehun?” Kyungsoo felt like laughing when he sees Jongin getting jealous.
“It’s another kid at the school.” Kyungsoo explained, pulling their distance apart, not wanting to display their affection in public.
“I’m not letting you to that kid.” Jongin locked Kyungsoo tightly in his arms and pouted slightly.
“Are you getting jealous over a kid?” Kyungsoo felt like laughing for having to see Jongin getting jealous over a little kid. How can a kid compare to the love of his life?
“Yes I am. Call me childish or selfish all you want. I’m not letting you go.” Jongin thought his childishness would only make Kyungsoo want to push him away but he didn’t Kyungsoo turned around to face him, he then raised his arms to wrap around his neck.
“Then don’t let go, hold on to me tight.”
“I won’t. I promise.”
Kyungsoo hesitated for a moment before he turned the door knob and made his way in. All of their close friends were here, standing there looking at him.
“Thanks for coming.” Kyungsoo wanted to smile to show how grateful he was that they are here to attend their wedding but he couldn’t. It was so hard.
“Kyungsoo, it’s okay.” Kris came forward and gave a small squeeze on his shoulder.
“I can’t wait for December to come.” Jongin said while interlocking their hands together.
“Me too.”
“We can get married in New Zealand and then you’ll be mine. Only mine.” Jongin wrapped his arms around Kyungsoo possessively. Kyungsoo then wrapped his arms around his lover’s neck.
“If I’m yours you’ll have to take care of me and only love me.” He tiptoe and share a short kiss with his lover, both smiled lovingly as they broke off from the kiss.
“Of course I will. I’ll take good care of you for the rest of your life and only love you.”
Kyungsoo sat down the bed holding onto Jongin’s cold hands. For a brief moment he just sat there not uttering a word, only to hold onto his hands tightly as if grasping on his dear life.
You promised me…
You promised me you’ll be there for me when I need you.
I need you, Jongin-ah…
You promise to take care of me for the rest of my life…
Why… Why are you going to heaven now?
Kyungsoo kissed lightly on his hand before wearing the ring on his finger.
“We are married now, Jongin… Even though not legally, but it is enough for me.” He caressed his face, holding back the tears in his eyes. He leaned forward pressing his lips gently on his.
Kyungsoo lifted up his shaky hands, finger resting on the switch on the life support machine.
Goodbye, my love
It’s all over now.
