“You have the right to remain silent.” the TV says. Ever since he was 10, Kim Kibum never spoke again.
*
Even though Kibum hasn’t spoke in 9 years, Jonghyun still loves him. They met when Kibum was 15 and Jonghyun was 16. At first, Jonghyun thought he wasn’t talking to him because he didn’t like him. Soon, Jonghyun realized that Kibum hasn’t spoke since he was 10.
But it wasn’t like he just woke up and stopped talking. Well, it kinda was something like that. It all started when Kibum was sick and tired of answering so much questions and when he watched a action movie. The police had said, “You’ve got the right to remain silent.”
That night, Kibum thought to himself, “I’ve got the right, right? So I can remain silent if I want to.”
That’s where it all happened.
*
“Hey Kibum,” Jonghyun said one night when they couldn’t fall asleep.
He turned to Jonghyun.
“You know I love you.”
Kibum put a hand on Jonghyuns cheek, as if saying, I love you too.
“I miss you.”
Kibum stroked it, signaling that he’s right here.
“I miss your voice Kibum. I want to hear how much you love me.”
Kibum’s hand left Jonghyuns cheek. He came closer and kissed it. Kibum sniffled, saying that he was sorry.
“It’s alright Kibum, I just wanted to let you know. At least I know you love me right?”
He silently agreed.
“I love you so much, you don’t even know.” Jonghyun whispered, leaning in to kiss him.
Kibum smiled a sad smile, ashamed that he couldn’t say it back.
“Good night Kibum.” and with that, he went to sleep.
That night, Kibum couldn’t sleep. He wanted to talk, he really did, but he couldn’t. He was actually afraid to talk now. Was his voice quiet or loud? Scratchy or soft? Kibum forgot how his own voice sounded like.
“I’m sorry Jonghyun. I love you more than anything. I hope one day I’ll have to courage to say it to you.” He thought.
*
The next morning when Jonghyun was at work, Kibum thought of the many ways to try and talk again. Every time he tried to talk, it came out as a cough.
He couldn’t force his voice out, as much as he wanted to, he couldn’t. He sighed in defeat and sat on the couch.
He needed to-no, had to tell Jonghyun how much he loved him no matter what.
He hated how big of a burden he was to Jonghyun. Having Jonghyun to talk through everything, it was a bit difficult to know what Kibum wanted if he didn’t talk.
*
Jonghyun came home to see the younger one asleep on the couch. He smiled at the sight. Jonghyun loved Kibum even though he hasn’t spoke because, well, action speaks louder than words.
He carried Kibum up to their room and went to the bathroom to change. When he came out, he laid next to Kibum and stroked his cheeks. Jonghyun saw his eyes flutter open.
“Hey.” Jonghyun said smiling. “Sorry I woke you up.”
Kibum smiled at him, saying it’s okay.
“You still tired?”
He shook his head.
“Alright, want anything?” Jonghyun got up the bed.
He took Jonghyuns wrist and patted the space next to him, telling him to stay.
Jonghyun chuckled. “I see.” and he laid next to Kibum.
*
The blonde was falling asleep when a certain 18 year old tapped him on his shoulders. He kept his eyes close for a moment then opened them.
“Yes Key?”
And the next thing that happened surprised him.
He squeaked a little in the beginning but when it was clear, his lover for 4 years, the one that had not spoken for 9 years, Kim Kibum said, “I-I love you too.”
Jonghyun then smiled the biggest smile Kibum has ever seen.
“I love you Kim Kibum. You’re mine forever.” Jonghyun said and hugged Kibum tightly.
Kibum squeaked again and laughed.
“I’m talking again.”
“Good for you!” Jonghyun said and smiled.
“I love you Kim Jonghyun. I love you so much. This is the first time I’ve said it so many times. Well, I love you, I love you, I love you.” and kissed him on the lips.
Jonghyun laughed. “You talk a lot for someone that hasn’t spoken in 9 years.”
“Shut up. At least now you know I love you.”
“I love you too.”
*
A/N:
What do you think? Rofl. I think I kinda rushed Kibum talking. He spoke so much for someone that didn’t speak in nine years. So I guess that’s like the plot hole or something. But other than that, enjoy!
