warning : character death
Those who are dead
Are not dead
They're just living in my head
{coldplay - 42}
you never heard his voice when you attended his funeral. it didn’t come when you moved from his apartment. it just came from nowhere as you opened his unused phone, full with his recorded voice, his photos, his memories.
he is always whispering. asking whether you have eaten yet or you have finished your proposal. giving you encouragement after your boss finished scolding your work. singing you a lullaby soon as your tired back touched bed.
one day, when you come back home after have a big party with changmin and yoochun, you lost his ‘welcome home’ greeting. you’re searching for him in 3 hours straight. he didn’t appear even your tears falling and your own voice became hoarse.
but, the next morning, he is coming back to you. whispering again, saying sorry for left you the night before. you smile and promise to him that you’ll come back faster for that day. even though you’ll slip away from yoochun’s wedding celebration.
day by day, you come home straight after you have finished work. you ignore all of party and celebration invitations that addressed to your apartment. then, you’ll be all alone in your living room but accompanied with his endless whispers.
the night you’ve invited to changmin’s birthday party, he calls you. from jaejoong’s old phone, you can hear changmin’s voice echoing in the room. he says that he and your another friends already have enough of your ignoring behavior. they obviously aren’t enjoying his presence as you did.
“jaejoong-hyung is dead. he already is, hyung…”
as you end the call, the reality hits you . but you still hear his voice whispering. begging you to cut your wrist with the hidden knife underneath your pillow. begging you to come with him, forever.

in a relationship

You look so sad as you sleep
As if you are having a bad dream
But I am here. Right beside you.
And I won’t go anywhere

Both of you have sit, face to face and said nothing, for almost half an hour. You voluntarily reserved the best restaurant around your office neighborhood tonight. Just to ask her for a dinner. Make up for barely have a direct conversation in 2 weeks. But, after half an hour since her appearance in front of you, she said nothing and keep silent with staring at you.
“what is it? tell me.” She still keep her mouth shut, suddenly not want to have an eye contact with you. “is it about Jihoon and his secretary?” she shakes her head. Your right hands slowly touch her untouched crossed fingers and squeeze it. especially the couple ring you gave it to her in the day you confessed your love.
The ice cream you ordered before finally come, breaking the moment between both of you. “I specially order chocolate ice cream to calm you. Low-fat and low-calories, don’t worry.” You try to cheer her up with your forced laugh. But it still failed.
You let out a sigh as you release your comforting act to your lover. ”Okay, enough. I’ll eat this ice cream alone.” Soon as you pick the spoon to eat the ice cream, your phone buzzed. You pick up the call and let the caller sitting in front of you speaks what is in her mind. “I can’t believe you forget my birthday today, Cha Muwon.”
You laugh over her statement. “Not so surprisingly. You really break the excitement, our dear Seo Nayoon”. You turn off the call and put your phone back on the table. “I have ordered the chef to put the engagement ring in this huge bowl of ice cream to surprise you. Well, help me to finish this and make sure you wear the ring later.”
