Sungmin's POV
How long has it been? Too long, I think. Five, maybe six years since you walked out of my life that one faithful day...
We met through a friend, during one of the regular dinners my clique hosted. I can still recall how quiet you were, it was what made me notice you in the first place while the rest of use were laughing like morons over a joke one of our friends made, as if all of us have know each other forever.
"Hi, you're Kyuhyun, right?"
"Uhmm, yeah. And you're Sungmin?"
"Yup! So you were listening! Wait, can I call you Kyu instead? I'm not really fond of names, because nicknames are so much cuter."
"Sure, as long as you'd let me call you Min."
That was how it started. A simple greeting that blossomed into friendship, and into something more. I still remember our first date. Do you?
"Hey Min, want to go out for a movie?"
"But, I'm kind of busy with school."
"Come on Min. I'm bored. Please? I'll even win you a plushie from the arcade."
"Better make sure it's a bunny or the deal is off."
"Thanks Min!"
We watched a movie and then went to the arcade. Who know that your gaming obsession would pay off and actually win me a bunny plushie? Then we went straight to the seaside area of the mall to watch the stars, and that was when you confessed.
"Hey Min, what if I told you I love you?"
"Then I'd tell you I love you too."
"What if I love you not as a friend?"
"Kyu, why are you asking me this?"
"Because I love you Min."
I remember staring at you for a while, trying to decipher if you were telling the truth. I didn't even notice the tears that started pouring out of my eyes, until you were wiping them away with your thumbs. You kissed me. It was my first kiss. My sweetest kiss.
We were in love. We were unbreakable, or so I thought. We were happy. Until your mother called for you one day.
"Hey Min, mom called."
"What for?"
"She wants me to get married."
"Oh. When?"
"Next year. She's already found me a bride."
"Kyu, I love you."
"I love you too, Min. I love you."
I didn't cry. Not when you said you loved me for the last time. Not when you said goodbye. Not even when you invited me to your wedding. I only cried when I saw you walking down the aisle, looking at me, as if you were telling me that I should be the one waiting for you at the end, not her. As if you were telling me to object. As if you were telling me that you still loved me. But I love you too much to do any of that. I know how much you treasure your family. So I just watched while you exchanged your vows, danced with her, and left with her for your honeymoon.
How long has it been? Too long, I think. I still haven't found someone like you.
A/N: I need a break from "The Grandfather." I was saddened by the fact that quite a number of people actually read it but never really commented. (I feel so underdemeciated. Yes, I'm watching 'Bedtime Stories' now. XD) Will prolly update *that* on Wednesday?
Wrote this while I was at Starbucks. Lol. Inspired by my failed romance. XD
