Sparkle
{ Chapter One }
Just like any other ordinary nights; with Dong Hae lying down beside of me, on the green soft grass. His arms are behind his head, supporting it and at the same time acting like a pillow. His toes are playing with each other as he watched the stars above us, with our fingers lacing.
This is what we do every night; just lying down on the grass at the slope near the riverside, thinking just about everything. Sometimes we even watched and literally count the train that passes us just across the river. With calm night air breezes through, it’s a really happy moment between us. Even if there’s not a single conversation lacing, smiles are enough to describe.
And Dong Hae would still looks at me the way he did like the first time. Eyes are still shining, and lips are still curving an honest smile. He could still melt my heart and make me fall in love with him all over again.
Until that particular night happens; we were lying down as usual. Staring blankly at those stars up there; looking all splendid. But tonight, there’s silence. And it wasn’t like the usual ones; it’s an awkward one.
Dong Hae is still smiling, but it’s looking gloomy. His eyes are shining, but it’s a sympathy one. He didn’t talk much. Usually he will blab on about aliens and Eun Hyuk and looking all cute and squish-able; but not today. He kept on staring at me weirdly; and it’s not good.
And suddenly, there was a star that travels like a rocket through the night sky.
Dong Hae looked at me, calmly. “Make a wish,” He looked up and closed his eyes; smiling as he made his wish. He opened his eyes again, looked at the now vanished wishing star and smiled. I could barely wish a thing. All I think about is Dong Hae. I’m sure he had problems but I think I should just wait. He needs space to puts up all the words.
I looked back at the stars after staring at Dong Hae for too long; letting cold night air breezes through. Its calm even though it gives me shivers.
Dong Hae changes his position to face me. He then slowly touches my cheeks, gesturing me to look at him. I did as what he wants. He leaned forward gently. Well, how could I say no to those pair cute innocent eyes? His nose touches mine. I could feel his nervous warm breath, and it gives butterflies in my stomach even though this is not our first. He then brought his lips closer to mine; but it was stiff. He closed his eyes and mumbled something unclear.
For some reasons, I could tell that this kiss have secret lies behind it.
I hugged him by the waist. Trying to tell him that ‘it’s gonna be okay’ and ‘I’ll be here’ through mind telegraph. Then, I could feel warm liquids travels through my cheeks. I open up my eyes, and look up to his face.
Dong Hae is crying.
Warm tears rushing down his cheeks like there’s no tomorrow. I was about to loosen up the hug; to ask him what’s wrong and to tell him that I will always be here beside him. But then, he could sense my movement and just hug me firmly; making no room for a single air to pass through.
I could say nothing and just hugged him back.
We stayed in that same position long enough for three to four trains to pass its rails. Dong Hae is still sobbing. His tears are wetting my shoulder, but it’s like I even want to care about that kind of issues at this point.
He had now stopped sobbing and loosens his tight grip. He stood up very suddenly making me feel dizzy for a while because of his sudden movement. I stood up and hug his shoulders from back. It’s a little hard for me because he is tall.
Not that I’m complaining anyway.
Dong Hae then collapsed to ground again. Continue to sob his ass off as he held my arms; trying to say that he’s not strong enough to handle this stuff. Stuff, it is always stuff.
“Spill,”
I whispered into his ears. He now slowly stopped sobbing, pushed me back slowly and changes his position to face me; head down. He hold my hands tightly and lacing our fingers together. I could feel his tight grip, as if he’s gonna fall into a dark pitch black hole if he let go. He opened his mouth to say something. And by the time he did, a train passes; making a fail for my ear to work and focus to only Dong Hae.
With no smile shining on his face like it used to, he disappeared into the night; leaving me alone without a clue.
