Chapter 6: Of Daydreams a (1/1)

Chapter Six: Of Daydreams and Reality  At 16, Kyuhyun had been a very normal kid for his age. He study for good grades, hang out with his best friends, bully some selected school mates for fun, got into fights when they were bullied by senior class men in return, spend some days annoying the hell out of their youngest and only girl Yoona, with Changmin's help of course, and some days with his beloved laptop and game console. For some instances he pertains as special, Kyuhyun would often daydream, a deed he'll die first before admitting to Changmin. He daydreams of being able to collect all the finest video games in the land, of topping any other chart of all the coolest games. He also aimed to buy that noodle shop the three of them usually hangs out, and maybe produced branches around the whole Korea, with him, and his two best friends as the CEOs and Taste Critics (because Changmin pointed out that they're the best when it comes to giving opinion about foods 'cause they basically eat everything, to which Yoona contradicts that it's not the case. It's just simply of the fact that.. they basically eat everything.) Kyuhyun also dreamt of having a girlfriend, and he knows he need not to look too far to find the girl he wants. He didn't know how it happened, or how did it start. They've only been friends not so long ago but he guessed it doesn't matter that much then. Kyuhyun is a smart boy, he knows what he wants when he sees it. It's not love, definitely not. It's not like that.. yet. But if someone was to ask him who among all those girls whom he wants to hold hands with.. it will be her. Always be her.At 17, Kyuhyun had come to the conclusion that the right girl doesn't really have to be shove right into your face for you to realize she's definitely the one. the phrase 'She had been standing infront of your eyes all along.' doesn't really apply to him. Because she was never before him. For all this time, she had been by his side. His daydreams changes a bit though. The top gamer and noodle shop owner are still there. But that one morning when he woke up from one of their Friday movie night and came face to face with her back as she unconsciously nuzzled on the still sleeping Changmin's arm, Kyuhyun felt a bit apprehensive. Jealous if others want to put it that way. He stared at her back in glum, as one of his daydreams he ought to come true in the future plays in his mind. It's simple. He dreams of waking up each morning with the view of her beautiful face. Simple. It's not too much.At 17 and a half, Kyuhyun knows he's inlove.At 18, he thought of confessing but he was a bit hesitant. Although he could clearly tell that the girl feels the same (with all those late night exchange of messages, those playful touches and sheepish smiles, he's sensitive enough to assume that this feeling isn't one-sided) And yet a few weeks before the start of the school year, Kyuhyun's favorite cousin from the province died. He died because of typhoid fever. He died because the hospital's facilities wasn't enough. He died because there was no efficient doctor availabe. He was seven years old.That's when Kyuhyun realized there's more to life that matters than being a top gamer. And that there'll be more than he can offer to the world rather than being an owner of a noodle shop. That's when he decided to be a perdiatrician. He began to take matters a little too serious than before. The confession was left hanging in mid-air. He didn't intend to forget. He just thought it may not be the right time.At 19 Kyuhyun had left Seoul.. and felt his heart breaks for the first time.At 20, he studied hard. Still playing his games whenever his free at times, and day dreams about her most of it.At 22, he studied harder, and forgot some things and neglect some people. One of them is her.At 23, he had experience his worst heart break and dilemma. He felt his heart had been took out of his chest, crush it into pieces, blending it up for him to take and experience the pain all over again. As disgusting as it may sounds, it was what he really felt. He was on the verge of breaking down, have attempted to fly back ot Korea for so many times, to.. call her, to.. stop her. But then.. he never did. He stayed in there, thousands of miles away from her. He thought it'll be useless. He thought there was no hope. He thought she'll wait..At 25, he found an angel, but she will always be his goddess. He dated her in the hopes that he'll learn to forget, in the hopes that he could start anew. The angel who goes by the name Victoria, had been wonderful. Kyuhyun almost thought she's really the one.At 26, they were married. And he thought he was at his happiest.But then he saw her again. And as melodramatic as it may sound, the old feelings he thought that fade away came back. It was never gone. It's just been buried deep in him, waiting to be rekindled. And then Kyuhyun realized that there were occassions when waiting for the right time isn't really necessary, that when an opportunity comes one has to grab it.The moment he saw her face after five years, it was unexplainable, like he's in a bliss. The way his heart thumps and the way she's smiling so beautiful as ever at him makes him feel that the moment is perfect. It must be. If only they're both holding each other's hand and not in grasp with their respective partners. Some dreams just really don't come true.  So he almost cried when he woke up that morning.~At 27, Kyuhyun had opened his eyes with the view of her sleeping, the bright sunshine outside was no match for her ethereal beauty. It was perfect. She's perfect. Just like how she had always been.Just like how he had always dreamed.~There were times reality is much better than your dreams, most of the time it was the other way around, but what Kyuhyun didn't expect is that sometimes they can be just the same. In a dream everything ends when he wakes up. Right now, in this real world, his moment of beatitude break off when SHE woke up.~There was that cute frown upon opening her eyes with the rays of the sun coming from the window, greeting her a good morning. She stretches her neck and blinked a couple of times, before closing her eyes once again as she nuzzles on that comforting warmth next to her. Breathing on the scent she knows she's familiar to but couldn't pinpoint who, she cuddled in even more, only to frown upon realizing it's not the usual fragrance she smells every morning. Not from her husband nor from her son. Quickly she snapped her eyes open and widened upon seeing the face of the man before her.He is so handsome.He had always been.At 24, Yoona had been pretty much contented with her life. She had believed that she can never ask anything more and everything she had went through were all just a part of the past. And yet, there were times, when her husband holds her close along the coldness of the night, she secretly seeks for another's warmth she haven't got the chance to feel, but had always been the subject of one of her crazy figments of imagination.She could have cried right there and then, she can feel the corner of her eyes heating up. She knows that she holds her that night, probably way tighter and closer than she ought him to do so. Right before her
