Part 3 : Haunted by the Past
“Hae.. wake up. You fell asleep here again.. you know it’s not good.” Kibum wakes him up as he see Donghae fell asleep on the couch again when he came home. It’s almost 11 pm already. Donghae only moans but stay unmoved. He seems so tired. Kibum sighs and decide to carry him to his bed room.
But Donghae wakes up when Kibum place him onto the bed. “Kibum... sorry, i fell asleep on the couch again.” He says sleepily and guiltily.
“It’s okay, Hae.. but next time just go to your room when it’s already late. You don’t have to wait for me, neh.” Donghae only nods and smile. “Now continue sleeping.. good night, Hae.” He says patiently while pulling the blanket over his body.
“Kibum-ah...” Donghae calls him again before he step out of his room, contemplating about what he’s going to ask to him.
“Yes, Hae?” he turns around.
“Do you mind... to accompany me here tonight?” He asks hesitantly, not sure what is the reason behind his own question. Insecure? Guilty?
Kibum sighs contentedly, smiling until reach his eyes. “Why Hae? Something bothering you?” He approach him again. “Nothing... I just.. don’t wanna be alone. At least accompany me until i fall asleep again, Bummie~”
Kibum laughs now, “Okay.. i’ll wash up first neh. I’ll be back.” He pats his head then leave.
Once Kibum gone, Donghae frowns and stares blankly at the ceiling. He is confused, after... he found a small note inside the invitation. It’s Sungmin who wrote the note.
I hope you will come and meet Hyukjae to finish some business. I’m sure you know what i mean. I just don’t wanna see Hyukjae being emotional every time. I can say he’s still suffering to be left by you just like that. I’m sorry to bother, thank you. Lee Sungmin.
Donghae almost tear up, he knows he was the one who left without words. And now as what Sungmin said on the note, Donghae thinks about it again. Does it mean Hyukjae still think about their past?
Hyukjae.. do you really still remember me as much as i remember you? It’s been a few years, i thought you have forgotten me and moved on. Did i really make a big mistake? Did i hurt you? But i don’t think i was that precious to you so you couldn’t forget about me like this.
Donghae wipes his cheeks furiously when he hear Kibum come into the room. Kibum don’t have to see i’m crying. Kibum, i’m sorry... We’re together for years but my mind and heart keep occupied by someone else.
“Hey..” Kibum sits on the edge of the bed beside him. It’s like he says ‘I miss you, Hae’. It’s true, he’s been missing Donghae. “Tell me... Something is bothering you? You look so thoughtful lately. Wanna share it with me?” he asks softly. But Dongahe only shakes his head and smile, hoping it will reassure him.
“Nothing...” Donghae takes his hand and intertwin them. “Don’t worry i’m okay... You no sleepy?” he changes the topic.
“Kinda.. but i still have something to do. You sleep first, i’m here doing my work, okay?” Kibum kisses his hand then take his laptop. Soon, he’s joining Donghae on the bed, his head resting on the head board while Donghae start to shut his eyes.
“Don’t overwork yourself, Bummie..” He says, eyes still closed.
Kibum laughs slightly, “No, it’s just a report. I’m fine, go to sleep now, Hae.” Glad you want me to be here, Hae. Thank you. He smiles admiringly to the sleeping figure.
~~~~~
It’s almost 1 AM when Kibum hears Donghae mumbling in his sleep. Kibum is still doing his report and freeze when Donghae start to cry silently in his sleep. Tears are falling down to his temples, but no sound of sobbing.
Donghae stood in front of his house, tears wouldn’t stop to fall out. It was still 5 in the morning when Donghae went to Hyukjae house, not brave enough to face him so he only stood there looking bitterly at Hyukjae’s room window.
“I’m sorry, Hyukkie...” He whispered hoarsely. “I don’t know how should i tell you about all of this. I have to go. I hope you will be happy with your life, without me. I’m just going to be a burden if i stay with you. I don’t want you witness my current state. I don’t want to see you cry. I’m sorry, Hyukkie.. It’s the best for us. I love you.”
Donghae cried silently as he walked off from Hyukjae’s house lifelessly. I’m going to Japan now, Hyukkie. I hope i could meet you again in another life. I’m going to miss you.
Kibum watch his bitter smile while mumbling ‘I’m sorry, Hyukkie...’. Suddenly he feels his heart beats fast, feels like suffocating. Kibum knows that Donghae never could forget his first love no matter what. But to witness this is a different case. No, he never want to see Donghae suffering because of his past. He didn’t choose to witness it, because it hurt him. How he wish Donghae could keep it from him and never let him know that he will never own his heart.
Kibum has been in denial for years. He knows Donghae will never fall in love with him. But Kibum chose to stay although it hurt. He thought these past few years Donghae slowly moved on that he smiles a lot, cheerful, as he recovers from the disease. But why tonight he suddenly mumbling his name again?
Kibum put his laptop on the dresser. “Hae.. wake up. You’re having a bad dream?” Kibum slightly slap his cheek, no he doesn’t want to hear his mumbling again. But Donghae doesn’t budge, instead he unconsciously grab Kibum’s arm and nuzzle to it while still weeping in his sleep. Kibum sighs in surrender, hugging him patiently while his heart scream in pain.
~~~~~
In the morning, Donghae found himself cuddles with Kibum. He shrugs it off when he think how they ended up cuddling. But yeah, it’s not a big problem right? He enjoy it though, he always enjoy being near with Kibum because he likes the feeling of being loved.
Donghae doesn’t know why, but as he woke up he feels something’s missing. It’s like there’s a hole in his heart. What is it?
And when he’s fully awake, he realize... He dreamed about that day again. That day.. on his past. It’s like he’s haunted by it. Year by year, it’s the day that he couldn’t forget at all. The day when he left Hyukjae. Now he feels like crying again, mentally smacking himself for being so crybaby.
He snuggles to Kibum again, feeling insecure and somehow guilty. No, he can’t cry again now. But that dream make him realize, that he indeed should meet and talk to Hyukjae. Even though it won’t change anything, but at least he won’t be haunted by the past anymore. Yes, Donghae need to talk to Hyukjae to finish their unfinished business. But how could i face him after all these years?
Kibum stirs a bit, “Hae... you’re awake?” he tries to pull away, but Donghae keeps hiding his face on his chest. “Hmm...” he simply reply. I cannot face you yet.
Kibum acts normally as if he doesn’t know his dream last night. “Shouldn’t you get up now and prepare to school hmm? It’s almost 7 am.” He ruffles his hair. Donghae smiles, Kibum never fail to make him feel loved from those simple gestures.
I’m glad i have you. Maybe i really should talk to him, and then i will continue my life with you, Kibum. I owe you a lot. I owe you my heart. Maybe someday when the past doesn’t haunt me anymore, i would give my heart fully to you. Even though i still don’t know if i could pass it or not.
Donghae moves then kiss his cheek, “Good morning.” He pause and smile, “I’m getting up now yeah yeah...” He laughs, followed by Kibum.
~~~~~
Hyukjae has been a thoughtful person lately, just like Donghae. Last night, he couldn’t sleep properly so he slept for only 4 hours. He dry his hair with a towel after take a shower, ready for another routines in dance club. As he takes new clean clothes, he open the drawer and take out a box.
He sits on the bed and take a deep breath before open it. There’s a picture frame, young Hyukjae and Donghae show a v-sign while holding ice cream.
“Hae..”
“Hmmm..” young Donghae looked up from his drawing to his best friend.
“How about we buy ice cream today after school? My treat.” Young Hyukjae grinned playfully, making Donghae blushed, “Sounds great.” He replied shyly, looking down back to his drawing.
That day, it turned out they went to a park and buy ice cream. When they enjoyed the ice cream, Hyukjae forced Donghae to take a picture together with his phone. “Hae, look at here, please.”
“Hyukkie... you know i don’t like taking photos.” He refused in a shy and cute manner.
“Just once, Hae.. please. It’s not everyday we have a date.” Hyukjae laughed and pinch his cheek.
Once again Donghae’s face turned red. “Fine fine, monkey..” Then they took the picture together. Hyukjae smile in satisfied when he saw the result. Cute Fish, he thought.
After that, they went home with holding hands.
Hyukjae smiles looking at the picture again, bitterly this time. We indeed need to talk, Hae. I hope you will come to our reunion. Sungmin is right, you owe me an explanation. Maybe that’s why i never could forget you. I still love you, Hae. Is there still any chance to have you back? Because i can’t live without you, without your smile. I’ve been feeling empty since you were gone. I cannot move on, i cannot let you go. Please help me, Hae. I need you by my side.
