Summer 2/2 [Oneshot]
3
“What are you doing?” Eunhyuk asked as he handed Kyuhyun his Iced Coffee.
“Waiting for Sungmin’s email.” Kyuhyun replied not taking his eyes off his phone. They were currently in his room and Eunhyuk was helping Kyuhyun pack some of his things before they left for his summer vacation tomorrow.
“Wow! Do you honestly believe his reply is just gonna pop just like some sort of text message?” Eunhyuk started. “Dude, the guy’s probably sneaking in around in his laptop or something. You’re just making yourself look like an idiot.”
Kyuhyun sighed, his friend was right. He put his phone in his pocket and stood up from his desk to start packing his things.
“So…” Eunhyuk began.
“So what?”
“So, what are you going to do about Seohyun?” Eunhyuk finally said. “She’s pretty furious you’re blowing her off again. She’d have your head if she found out you were actually allowed, again, to stay here but you chose to meet Sungmin over the summer instead of her…”
“I’m meeting up with her tonight.” Kyuhyun replied not looking Eunhyuk in the eyes. “I’m breaking up with her.”
Somewhere in Eunhyuk’s mind he celebrated. Finally, his best friend was doing something right in his life.
Kyuhyun breathed the evening summer breeze. Dinner had just been served and no sign of Sungmin. He’s been walking around the shore for a while now. He really wanted to talk to Sungmin about breaking up with Seohyun. He didn’t know why but it felt like he needed to tell Sungmin. A solemn smile graced his lips as he remembered what happened last night. It was a total mess. Seohyun was crying really badly and if her parents were there he was pretty sure her father would’ve had his head. He sighed because even though he should be feeling bad all he felt was freedom. The solemn smile didn’t leave as he began to admire the moonlight. Thoughts of Sungmin’s smile danced in his mind and the smile slowly turned into a real one. He couldn’t wait to see his friend.
It was already starting to get late and still Kyuhyun saw no sign of Sungmin. He felt a little heartbroken. Sungmin had emailed Kyuhyun that as soon as Kyuhyun had arrived then Sungmin would’ve been there. But looking around now, there was still no Sungmin in sight. Kyuhyun got up from his position on the beach. He took one last look around the area and when he saw that it was clear, he went back to the house.
He got to his room and immediately typed in an email to Sungmin. He asked him where he was and why he didn’t show up. He wasn’t expecting a speedy reply as it always took a day for Sungmin to reply. Still, that didn’t stop him from staring down his phone as he lay down in bed.
The next morning Kyuhyun found Sungmin sitting by the shore. Seeing Sungmin, even though he had his back to him, gave Kyuhyun this inexplicable feeling. He wanted to embrace Sungmin and breathe in his scent. The morning summer breeze blew and Kyuhyun breathed it in as if it would bring him Sungmin’s wonderful scent. For some reason, his heart was beating at an odd pace. He walked closer to Sungmin and noticed how his hunched his back was and that he looked a little depressed hugging his knees to his chest.
“Are you okay?” Kyuhyun asked softly as he sat down beside him. Sungmin showed no sign of acknowledging Kyuhyun. Sungmin sighed and breathed in. Kyuhyun could see he had swollen eyes. He’d probably been crying all night, Kyuhyun guessed.
“I don’t know…” He turned his head towards Kyuhyun but didn’t meet his eyes. “To be honest, I want to say ‘I’m fine’ or ‘I’m okay’ but I can’t for some weird reason.”
Sungmin sighed and turned his sight back to the ocean admiring, or at least pretended to admire, the beautiful orange sky as the sun begun to rise. Kyuhyun watched Sungmin wallow in his depression and wished there was something he could do. He looked at Sungmin’s line of vision but couldn’t find it in him to find the sunrise beautiful.
“You know, you can tell me if you have a problem. I’ll listen. I always listen.” Kyuhyun said. He’d never really seen Sungmin this down. This was the first time he’d looked so depressed and it worried Kyuhyun to no end because Sungmin always seemed cheerful in the emails they shared. Whenever Sungmin was down, he just never pictured Sungmin looking like this, like Kyuhyun’s heart would break as well.
“I don’t know if I can tell you…” Sungmin whispered turning his head away from Kyuhyun. Kyuhyun found himself looking at the back of Sungmin’s head and frowned.
“You can tell me anything, Min. I’m your friend.” Kyuhyun reasoned.
“That’s the point, Kyuhyun, you’re my only friend. I don’t want to lose you.” Sungmin whispered finally looking at Kyuhyun with tear stained eyes. Kyuhyun’s heart broke at the scene. He wanted to envelop Sungmin in his arms if it could only make the pain Sungmin was feeling go away.
“You’re not gonna lose me. You’re never getting rid of me, Lee Sungmin. I promise.” Kyuhyun said as he put his hands on Sungmin’s shoulder. He looked into Sungmin’s eyes and wiped the tears away. “Whatever you have to say, I’ll listen. No matter what you tell me, I’m not leaving you.”
Sungmin took a deep breath. Kyuhyun let all inhibitions go and finally embraced Sungmin. Sungmin held onto Kyuhyun’s shirt, balled them in his fists tightly and began to cry. Kyuhyun stroked Sungmin’s hair in hopes of soothing him down.
“I like you.” Sungmin whispered which got muffled by Kyuhyun’s clothes. Kyuhyun’s eyes shot wide open at the words Sungmin spoke. “I love you.” He said this time voice a little louder but still shaky because of the crying.
Kyuhyun loosened his hold on Sungmin. Sungmin looked into Kyuhyun’s eyes and when he saw that what he was looking for wasn’t there, he broke free from Kyuhyun’s grasps and ran back to the beach house. Kyuhyun was left by the shore looking at his empty arms. He looked back to see Sungmin crying but couldn’t make a move to stop him. He couldn’t even run after him. He was just there sitting not believing in the way that things had turned.
The day had passed by faster than Kyuhyun would have assumed. He spent most of it reading the book his father had given him, only paying half of his attention to it. The sun was only setting when his mother called him for dinner. Kyuhyun took one last glance at the shore and entered the house. He hadn’t been paying much attention at the conversation during dinner. His parents didn’t ask because he wouldn’t respond anyways.
Kyuhyun walked towards the balcony and saw from the clear glass doors that someone was sitting by the shore. He slowly walked all the way to the beach until he’d finally reached Sungmin’s side. Sungmin had his knees to his chest again. Kyuhyun sat down beside Sungmin, his pinky brushing the pinky of Sungmin’s hand that was on the sand. Kyuhyun pretended like it was an accident.
“I’ve been in love with you for as long as I can remember.” Sungmin started not meeting Kyuhyun’s eyes as he kept his gaze on the moonlit sea. Kyuhyun looked at Sungmin as if to ask him what he was talking about. “I watched you grow up and I found myself falling in love with you.” Sungmin paused and gulped. He wiped some of the tears that had fallen. “I lied to you when I told you I stay here during summer. The truth is I’ve been living here for as long as I can remember. And every summer that your family visits, I watch you play out in the beach from the window of my room and every time, I pray and wish that I could go outside and play with you.”
“Why did you lie?” Kyuhyun whispered as he let his hand hold Sungmin’s.
Sungmin turned his tear stained face towards Kyuhyun and gave him his most heart breaking smile, “I didn’t want to seem like I waited for you because that’s all I did. Ever since I saw you play outside, every year I’d wait for summer to come and to finally be able to see you. Even if I couldn’t play with you outside, seeing you happy made me happy as well.”
Sungmin smiled as the tears began to fall and Kyuhyun felt his heart break. Sungmin looked so broken all Kyuhyun wanted to do was kiss his pain away. And so he did.
Kyuhyun held on Sungmin’s hand and with his free hand he caressed Sungmin’s cheek and pulled it closer to his. The kiss was gentle but Kyuhyun felt the fireworks in them. He felt Sungmin’s free hand rest on his and the next thing he knew he was on top of Sungmin who was lying down on the sand, his knees supporting his weight so he wasn’t completely on top of Sungmin.
When they pulled apart, Sungmin had this confused look in his eyes. Kyuhyun smiled softly at Sungmin as he rested his forehead on Sungmin’s. “I love you.” Kyuhyun whispered kissing Sungmin softly once more. “I love you.” He repeated. He closed his eyes and nuzzled Sungmin’s nose.
Sungmin gasped and began to cry once more. Kyuhyun opened his eyes and began to worry.
“I love you, too.” Sungmin said as he embraced Sungmin and Kyuhyun enveloped his arms around Sungmin, holding him tightly as if to never let go.
“So you broke up with Seohyun?” Sungmin asked as they sat by the shore watching the sunrise. Kyuhyun had this smirk that Sungmin wanted to wipe off but had to admit that it made Kyuhyun look handsome.
“I was going to tell you but you went all drama mode on me.” Kyuhyun joked squeezing Sungmin’s hand in his own. “But I liked the drama.”
Kyuhyun leaned down and pecked Sungmin on the lips. “I love you.”
“I love you, too.”
Kyuhyun had been spending his summer vacation with Sungmin. His parents were beginning to complain but in reality they didn’t mind. Kyuhyun hadn’t told his parents anything but they knew what their son had been up to.
Kyuhyun had never been this happy. The feeling couldn’t even compare to those times he went out with Seohyun. He admired Sungmin and the way he smiled as the beauty of the sunrise captivated him. Now Sungmin won’t be the only one counting down for summer to arrive. He put his arms around Sungmin. He kissed the top of his head. They only have a few weeks left before summer ends and after that, only one more summer vacation to go before college. Kyuhyun would have to spend every day as if it were his last.

“Congratulations graduates!” Their principal announced. “And now, let us call on your valedictorian, Cho Kyuhyun, for his speech.”
The whole gym applauded as Kyuhyun took the stage and gave his speech.
“Congrats, dude!” Eunhyuk greeted embracing Kyuhyun in a manly hug. Kyuhyun had been getting congratulated by people left and right. He was feeling flattered but he was disappointed that the one person he’d wanted to hear it from couldn’t greet him yet.
“You okay?” Eunhyuk asked his arm around Kyuhyun’s shoulders as they walked to their families.
“Yeah.” Kyuhyun replied.
“So has your boyfriend congratulated you yet?” Eunhyuk asked with this knowing smirk.
“No, and you know he hasn’t.” Kyuhyun pouted and Eunhyuk had to hide his cringe.
“Sorry, sorry.” Eunhyuk chuckled. “So have you guys talked about your college plans?”
“We’ve both decided to go to Seoul University. We just got our acceptance letters.” Kyuhyun replied with a proud smile remembering his video chat with Sungmin as they showed each other the letters.
“Good for you.” Eunhyuk said as he hugged Kyuhyun one last time and they went their separate ways. This would probably be the last time he’d see Eunhyuk since he’d taken up a scholarship in America.
“Eunhyukkie! See you soon!” Kyuhyun shouted and Eunhyuk smiled and gave him two thumbs up.
Kyuhyun quickly dumped his stuff in his bedroom and ran outside in the direction of the beach where Sungmin was waiting for him.
“Sungmin!” He called as he ran to embrace the love of his life.
“I missed you so much!” Kyuhyun said.
“I missed you, too.” Sungmin replied with a shaky voice.
“Have you been crying?”
“No, no, I just missed you, that’s all.” Sungmin said quickly wiping his tears away.
Kyuhyun kissed Sungmin lightly on the lips, “Think of it this way, after this summer, we’ll always be together.”
Kyuhyun had been spending his everyday with Sungmin, trying to make up for lost time. It made Sungmin wonder just how it was still possible for Kyuhyun to surprise him like that, but he appreciated it nonetheless.
They were having some form of picnic in the beach, a bit far from where their houses stood. The sun was just about to set and they had just finished the last of their food that Sungmin cooked.
“I have something to tell you.” Sungmin sighed as Kyuhyun tightened his hold on Sungmin. Kyuhyun knew that there was something bothering Sungmin, he’d just wanted Sungmin to tell him without having to force it from him. He had this feeling it was about that.
“I can’t go to Seoul University.” Sungmin whispered and despite Kyuhyun’s shock he was able to remain calm and keep quiet to wait for an explanation. “M-my parents applied for me to go to Berklee College of Music. You know that college in Boston, the one I was talking to you about.” Kyuhyun nodded and Sungmin went on. “I got accepted and they offered me a scholarship… My parents are expecting me to go…”
Kyuhyun couldn’t say anything. He wanted to protest but he knew what this opportunity meant to Sungmin. He looked into Sungmin’s eyes and saw he was on the verge of tears. Kyuhyun’s heart broke knowing Sungmin was torn between choosing him and the college that could continue launching his career. Kyuhyun took a deep breath; he knew what he had to do.
“You should take it.” Kyuhyun said voice barely above a whisper as he looked up at the orange sky. He didn’t even realize how weak he sounded until he’d heard himself say it. Sungmin looked at him with wide eyes wiping the tears that were about to fall.
“I understand what this could mean to you.” Kyuhyun smiled at Sungmin. “I know we made a promise to go to Seoul U., but if you have a calling in Berklee you should take it.”
Sungmin embraced Kyuhyun and cried. Kyuhyun couldn’t help the smile that formed on his face at the thought of how much Sungmin must’ve thought about the situation. “We could always try long distance.”
Kyuhyun muttered as Sungmin nodded along still not taking his head out from Kyuhyun’s chest but ended up crying even harder. Kyuhyun returned the embrace.
Kyuhyun and Sungmin decided not to talk about the impending doom of their separation. For some weird reason, Kyuhyun had this gut feeling that there was something Sungmin wasn’t telling him. He shrugged it off all the time even though Sungmin would look at him sadly most of the time. It was getting really hard not to ask but Kyuhyun didn’t want to ruin their last summer together. It felt like it would be their last. In the back of Kyuhyun’s mind, he knew that it was their last but he told himself it was only because Sungmin was moving far away.
They’d been spending the remaining weeks stargazing, night swimming, and anything Kyuhyun could think of doing that summer that seemed appropriate for the both of them. Sungmin had his fair share of ideas and they did those, too. They walked hand in hand along the shore, they played a lot in the beach and just about any childish desire Sungmin had with Kyuhyun was fulfilled. Kyuhyun wasn’t even surprised when Sungmin had a list of things to do and that he’d begun crossing things off. He just laughed and agreed to continue finishing the list.
There was only two days left before Sungmin had to leave for Boston and then three days after that Kyuhyun would be going back to Seoul with his family. He knew that those three days were going to be the hardest.
“So what else haven’t we done in your list?” Kyuhyun asked as he turned on his side to peer at Sungmin who was enjoying the afternoon sun.
“I don’t know, let’s see…” Sungmin purred as he sleepily got the list from the table beside him.
“Let’s see, we’ve done that, we did that last night, we did that yesterday, we did that, too…” Kyuhyun started scanning the rest of the list. “Looks like there are only two more things left to do.” Kyuhyun grinned like a child and Sungmin felt excited as well even though he didn’t know what those two things were. Sungmin checked the list and began to blush, no wonder Kyuhyun was grinning.
The last two things on the list were:
16. Kiss me. Kiss me like you’ve never kissed me before.
20. Sing me a song just for me.
“I think we should do sixteen last.” Kyuhyun winked even though deep down he knew that if they did this last then that kiss might be the last thing he give Sungmin. He tried not to focus on that thought. Sungmin absentmindedly nodded along.
“Hey, I’m gonna head back to the house for awhile. Meet me at the far side of the beach after dinner.” Kyuhyun said and Sungmin couldn’t help but pout. Kyuhyun smiled as he patted Sungmin’s head.
“The place where we gazed at the stars?” Sungmin asked trying his best to wipe off that pout of his mouth.
“Yup, that one. Now stop pouting, this is for you own good.” Kyuhyun said chuckling as he gave Sungmin a peck and went back to his beach house.
Kyuhyun was waiting for Sungmin to come. He’d been preparing the things he would need to serenade Sungmin. He’d already known what song to sing. He kept smiling every time he thought about the lyrics of the song. He kept fixing his semi-formal polo despite knowing there was nothing wrong with what he was wearing. When he saw a silhouette appear, he knew it was Sungmin and when the silhouette started to come closer, Kyuhyun turned on the music.
Sungmin came in to view just in time for Kyuhyun to start singing.
Nae mal deuro jullae
Amu maldo haji malgo na sasireun neomuna buranhae
Niga omneun haru eoddeohge gyeondilji jeongmal molla
Uri ggeci aniraneungeol ara
Naega omneun binjarie honja apa uljineun
As Kyuhyun began to sing, Sungmin couldn’t help but be overwhelmed with emotion because of the impact of the lyrics. Kyuhyun didn’t expect Sungmin to cry as badly as he was doing now. Kyuhyun suddenly felt the weight of the lyrics and it dawned on him just how perfect the lyrics were. He tried to calm his mind as he continued to sing despite his voice becoming shaky.
Sungmin couldn’t help bawling his eyes out as he begun to remember all those wonderful memories he had created with Kyuhyun. Those were the best years of his life. His tears were getting harder and harder to control and no matter how many tears he’d shed, he just couldn’t stop crying.
Kyuhyun closed his eyes to shield him from the sight of a bawling Sungmin as it tore his heart apart. He really wanted to sing this song perfectly and he didn’t need himself to be this affected.
Nae mamsoge ojig neo
Ne mamsoge ojig na
Seoro dalmaganeun moseubi sarange bbajyo ittdaneun geot
Gateun haneul dareun got urin jamsi ddeoreojyeo
Jigeum isungan yeongwonhi
Itjimalgo gioghae
By the time Kyuhyun was finished singing, Sungmin was bawling and Kyuhyun had tears falling down his cheeks. Kyuhyun embraced Sungmin as they began to cry together in realizing just how real their situation was.
“Kyuhyun?” Sungmin whispered in Kyuhyun arms when he finally calmed down.
“Yeah?”
“I love you. I will always love you.” Sungmin said voice slightly muffled as he tucked himself further in Kyuhyun’s arms.
“I love you, too, Min.” Kyuhyun replied tightening his hold knowing that no matter how much he wants to let go, in the end, he will have to.
The day for Sungmin to leave had finally arrived. Kyuhyun could feel the heaviness in his chest and every time he breathed it felt like there was no air around him. He was waiting for Sungmin to arrive. He looked out at the beach and the morning would have looked so beautiful if the circumstances weren’t so depressing.
“Kyuhyun.” Sungmin called and Kyuhyun turned to see Sungmin. Sungmin looked like he hadn’t slept at all last night. His eyes were swollen and his voice broke a little as he mentioned Kyuhyun’s name. Kyuhyun smiled sadly at the sight before him. He approached Sungmin and took a deep breath.
“T-Thanks for everything, Kyuhyun.” Sungmin started his voice barely above a whisper but he knew Kyuhyun could hear, they were so close to each other. “You don’t know it but you saved me. You saved me from a life of solitude and loved me. You loved me like no one else could and I will always be grateful for that.”
Sungmin looked up to try and stop himself from crying again. Kyuhyun was also steeling himself because the tears were on the verge of falling. Sungmin took a deep breath and wiped some of the tears that managed to fall. He smiled sadly at Kyuhyun.
“Just remember that I love you. I really and truly do.” Sungmin said as he began to shed his tears.
“I love you, too –“ Kyuhyun wasn’t able to finish his sentence as Sungmin pulled him into a tight embrace. Kyuhyun chuckled, his voice broken, as he wrapped his arms around Sungmin’s waist and let the tears he’d been holding back fall a little. With a shaky voice he said, “We’ll write to each other, don’t worry. I’ll email you every single day. I’ll even write you letters if you want me to. ”
Kyuhyun stroked Sungmin’s soft hair as he only continued to cry. “Stop crying.” Kyuhyun whispered his voice hoarse from trying to stop his tears from overflowing. “We’ll see each other soon. It’s not like we’re saying goodbye forever, right? Before you know it, we’re back here and holding each other in our arms and dreaming of a future together.”
Sungmin only slightly nodded as Kyuhyun continued to mutter words of comfort. “Just never forget that there’s someone here waiting for you, waiting for you to come back.”
Kyuhyun forced Sungmin to look him in the eyes. Kyuhyun caressed Sungmin’s face and wiped his tears with his thumbs. “I will always love you.” Kyuhyun whispered as he leaned in with his eyes closed. Sungmin closed his eyes.
When Kyuhyun’s lips finally met Sungmin’s lips, it was the most magical kiss Sungmin had ever gotten. It was heartbreaking and it made his whole being ache but despite it all he could taste the love Kyuhyun had for him. The kiss was salty because their tears were mixed into it but they didn’t care, all they could really feel and taste on it was the love they had for each other.
When they finally pulled away, Kyuhyun rested his forehead on Sungmin’s. The tears were still falling and no matter how much they wiped them away they wouldn’t go.
“Goodbye, Kyuhyun.” Sungmin whispered. It was so soft that Kyuhyun felt like he’d imagined hearing it. Sungmin pulled away and ran as fast as he could back to where he’d come from. Kyuhyun was left dumbfounded. He couldn’t move. He was so stunned he couldn’t even run after Sungmin.
They had agreed that there wouldn’t be any goodbyes.
Kyuhyun fell down on his knees as he had finally confirmed his fears. He clutched at his shirt as it became harder and harder to breathe. The tears were clouding his vision. Sungmin had said goodbye. He’d been speculating something was wrong. Sungmin had been acting as if he would never see Kyuhyun ever again. Kyuhyun had brushed those thoughts away thinking he was just overanalyzing the situation.
Kyuhyun shouted and pounded on the sand. If only he’d known then maybe he would’ve done things differently. He continued to shout and wail as the pain of losing the most important person to him dawned on him. He would never see Sungmin again. Sungmin probably wouldn’t even write back to him.
When Kyuhyun had finally calmed down, the afternoon sun was high in the sky and it stung his skin but the summer breeze was comforting. He was sitting by the shore watching as families played on the beach. He’d been thinking about Sungmin, the memories they’d made. He would never forget Sungmin. He probably would never be able to love anyone like he loved Sungmin.
A smile began to form on his lips as an idea crossed his mind. He stood up and dusted himself. Even though there were people there, to Kyuhyun there was just him and Sungmin, even if Sungmin had left hours ago.
“LEE SUNGMIN! I LOVE YOU! I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU!” Kyuhyun shouted and the summer breeze blew and he closed his eyes feeling the breeze embrace him. It felt like it was Sungmin and the smile on his face grew wider.
5 years later
Kyuhyun stepped foot in the beach house for the first time in five years. When he left for college, his family decided to sell the place. His parents had reasoned that they didn’t need it anymore anyways, but Kyuhyun knew that it was because of his painful memories. A solemn smile graced his lips as the newly refurbished beach house brought back those painful memories.
Kyuhyun had bought back the beach house because he’d wanted to hold on to the memories of Sungmin. He thought of it as a way of being with Sungmin. It was crazy but that was what he needed right now. Or at least he thought he needed.
It had been a long time since the last time he’d been here. He hadn’t realized how much those memories hurt up until now. Everything was replaying in his mind. Those times Sungmin had slept over at his house. The days Kyuhyun would read his book to Sungmin. As he walked around the house, he realized that every bit of the house held a memory of Sungmin. It made his heart ache so badly.
Kyuhyun sat down on the dining table. He closed his eyes as he felt the tears sting his eyes. He hadn’t been this sensitive in a while. He sighed as he wiped the lone tear that fell. He really had to stop with his sulking.
“Sungmin isn’t coming back.” He whispered to himself. The pain in his voice almost made him cringe. It was the only truth in this world and yet he wanted it to be a lie.
He stood up and chanted his mantra. “Sungmin isn’t coming back. You’re going to be fine. You’ve been fine for the longest time. It’s just memories. Sungmin isn’t coming back but you’re going to be fine. You’re going to be fine.”
His voice was breaking because he had no strength to believe in his words anymore. Not now, especially when he was back where even the happiest of memories could eat him alive. It had worked when he was in Seoul because he didn’t have to be bombarded with those memories because there was no beach house to remind him of Sungmin.
He wiped some of the tears that begun to cascade down his cheeks. He took a deep breath and continued to chant his mantra as he tried to finish unpacking his things.
He’d finished unpacking all his things. He sat down on his bed and looked out the window to see the sun was setting. A strange feeling had settled in him. He hadn’t seen the sunset in a while. He decided it was finally time to check out the beach and watch the sunset again. A small smile graced his lips as he walked out of the house.
He took careful steps going down the balcony. It had been a while since he’d last seen a sunset like this. Even if it brought a painful ache in his heart, he couldn’t help but smile because the sunset always reminded him of how happy Sungmin looked whenever he saw one.
s he walked to the shore, he noticed that someone was there watching the sea. His heart skipped a beat. There was someone in the beach. From his view it had to be a man. He gulped. He didn’t know if he had neighbors, he forgot to ask his realtor. He took a few more careful steps and as he got closer the back became even more familiar. Kyuhyun’s eyes widened and his heart started to beat at an uncontrollable pace. He took a deep breath as he took one last step. He was this close to the man, if he held out his hand he’d be able to touch his back.
ldquo;Sungmin?” His voice was soft but he knew the wind carried his voice to the ears of the man. The man seemed startled but nonetheless slowly turned to face Kyuhyun.
With each passing second, Kyuhyun’s heart beat began to pound harder than it ever did. He tried to calm himself until the man finally turned to look at him.
Kyuhyun gasped a little and he was sure he had stopped breathing. Right in front of him was the man he had least expected to see at that shore.
“It’s been awhile.” Sungmin greeted softly. The soft summer breeze rustled his hair and Kyuhyun had to remember how to breathe because Sungmin still looked as beautiful as he did the last time he saw him.
Kyuhyun took a few steps closer. He couldn’t form coherent thoughts let alone think of anything to say. The fact that Sungmin was standing right in front him seemed surreal. As soon as he was only inches apart from Sungmin, he slowly held onto Sungmin’s hands, looking at them as if they weren’t real. Sungmin had a small smile on his face but his eyes held this sadness. Kyuhyun looked up and Sungmin smiled a little wider as tears began to well up in his eyes. Kyuhyun caressed Sungmin’s cheeks and his eyes begun to sting.
“I’m-I’m not dreaming, am I?” Kyuhyun asked his voice breaking as the tears were becoming hard to control. At the sight of Kyuhyun, Sungmin couldn’t help but take a deep breath. Sungmin nodded his and as if to prove a point, he held Kyuhyun’s head into his hands and leaned their foreheads together.
“No, no you’re not.” Sungmin whispered as he and Kyuhyun began to cry.
Kyuhyun closed his eyes, held Sungmin’s hand in place on his cheeks and leaned in. It wasn’t until he kissed Sungmin did he believe that he wasn’t dreaming. The kiss was soft and gentle. It was innocent and yet it was all Kyuhyun needed to know that Sungmin was never going to leave him. As they broke apart, Sungmin whispered, “I love you.”
Kyuhyun captured Sungmin’s lips once more in a much more passionate kiss. He smiled into the kiss knowing Sungmin was never leaving his side.
yuki: This is 24 pages long with 10,902 words (including all the added extra stuff XD) so yeah it's very long and you've reached the ending! Yey! Thank you for reading! If you have questions I'll be willing to answer them because there were a lot implications and hinted stuff so I bet you're all like WHAT WHAT WHAT so yeah ask away
no subject
no subject
Ok so uhm this was really crappy with all my implications and I realize now I shouldn't have maybe left it like this haha so I'm sorry you had to go through all this fail OTL
Uhm the reason behind Sungmin not contacting Kyuhyun is because his parents were against the relationship. They found out and told Sungmin to cut ties off with Kyuhyun. Although he said he was going to Berklee that was somewhat a lie. He never went to Boston, and stayed in Korea and finished university there. It was an idea his parents had so Kyuhyun would leave Sungmin alone and it worked, Kyuhyun never came back and Sungmin stayed at the beach in hopes of Kyuhyun coming back etc. etc.
Eventually Sungmin's parents died and it left Sungmin independent but he could never really go after Kyuhyun so yeah
I hope that explains everything? if not, then most of it? Please ask if you have more questions :)
