i. Hyukhae, Kibum
The more you look at him, the more he looks away.
“He thinks it’s wrong, you know,” Kibum says quietly.
ii. Yehwook
He runs his tongue over the other boy’s scars and wounds, lavishes kisses to the rough lines marring his body. He smiles, sadistic, as his lover screams out in his pain (and possible pleasure). “So you do scream higher than you sing,” he laughs.
iii. Hanchul
Breath stinking of beer and body smelling of sex and sweat, you find him in your bed one morning. “We didn’t… did we?” you ask cautiously, unsure of what to say.
“I don’t know, do you want us to have?” He slurs his words, grinning out at you from behind half-closed eyelids.
iv. Hyukhae
He knows you are watching him, you think, but he is unwilling to admit it, because if he does, his entire carefully constructed world will fall apart. Maybe you should confront him, you think.
“If you really love him, you won’t have the heart to hurt him, you realize,” Eeteuk says as he slips out of the room. “Think about that.”
v. Hyukhae, Kibum
To be human is to want what you can’t have, he knows, but it does not make the pain of this rejection any less unbearable. “Why can’t you love me?” he asked once.
“Because I love him. You know I do. Don’t… don’t do this to me, please, I…” He’d left the room at that point, not wanting to listen anymore. This love will be what tears me apart in the end, he’d thought then. Now he knew full well that it was true.
vi. Hyukhae
“I can’t tell you what you won’t let me say,” he whispers. You turn your face away and stay silent for fear of letting those words slip out; those dangerous words that you can never say. They dance on your tongue as he walks away without looking back. I love you.
vii. Kangteuk
“This love of ours is really cliché, you know,” he says. “We never fight and we always seem to be happy. No drama between us.”
He looks at the other, who just shrugs, “At least it keeps the fans satisfied.”
He had been expecting more of a reply, but does not let it deter him. “I will always protect you,” he says solemnly, “I am strong.”
The other just smiles and kisses his cheek. “I know.”
viii. Kyuhae
“Will we always be here together, under the sky?” he asks, fearful though he does not know why, “It is so blue, so beautiful.” He is the elder and has no right to be scared, but he cannot help the words from coming out, slowly as though they are waltzing lazily off his tongue.
“I think so,” he says slowly, savouring the words and enjoying the breeze, “I think we will always be together.”
ix. Hyukhae
He says that he is going away, ‘just for three months, I promise’. That’s too long, you say, don’t go. I’m sorry, he says, but I have to, don’t you see? This is my chance. This could be all I ever wanted. I love you, you say, all in a rush. He stiffens and a look of anguish passes over his face, then disappears again, so quickly that you wonder if you had imagined it. Don’t, he says, please. Let me go, I need this. I’m suffocating here. I can’t go on like this anymore.
Me?, you ask, you breath catching in your throat, is it because of me? He doesn’t say anything, just looks at you, looks and looks until you can’t stand it anymore. Tears rolling down your cheeks, your body heaving with sobs, you run out of the room.
You pass Eeteuk in the hall and he doesn’t stop, just slows and says, “Did you notice that the light is gone from his eyes? I know you love him, but… I think it’s time you let him go.” You crumple to your knees, right there, in the middle of the hallway. You can feel your heart breaking just a little bit more.
