Final (1/1)

Sungyeol and Myungsoo have been best friends from their childhood. Sungyeol was a cheerful kid who was loved by everyone. He was a courageous one who could not stand any unfair being around him. Myungsoo was a shy kid who liked to be away from others.Sungyeol & Myungsoo grew up in the same neighbourhood. So, at school, Myungsoo either remained alone or clinged onto Sungyeol.Whenever any child came to fight with Myungsoo or just came to tease him, Sungyeol always stood for him. He was there for Myungsoo everywhere & everytime.So, Myungsoo felt so safe with Yeol.            When they were in high school, Sungyeol choose Taekwondo as his extra activity instead of his immense interest in basketball. Upon asking why Sungyeol choose Taekwondo, he said, “I want to be able to protect you, Myungiee”. Hearing this Myungsoo felt so glad & sad. Glad because he had the bestest friend  one could ever ask for. And, sad because he was tying up Yeol. His best friend gave up his interest just for him. At times, he would wish that he was brave enough to fight with all those bullies.            There was a boy named Bang Yongguk at their senior high school. He used to act as if he owned the place. He always used  to pick up on Myungsoo since he was such a weak boy. Yongguk, along with, Himchan & Zelo, enjoyed seeing panic rush in Myungsoo’s face and hear his stammering. But, they were never able to harm him physically since Sungyeol always reached there timely. Yeol hated the time when he had to leave Myungsoo alone either for their different classes or his Taekwondo practice.            Myungsoo used to give all his money & other items to Yongguk & the boys to protect himself & not cause trouble to Yeol. But one day, they wanted his watch. He was ready to give everything but not the WATCH because it was Yeollie’s gift for his birthday. Yeol had even worked part time to get him that Rolex watch. So, he resisted as much as he can. That time he realized how much he treasured Yeol and maybe he has taken Yeol as more than a best friend.           As the bad boys they were, Yongguk’s gang beat him up very severely & even took his watch.            Sungyeol ran out of his breathe when he reached the hospital. He wondered why he felt as if his world would collapse if anything happened to Soo. The younger one had a huge effect on him.He broke down in tears when he saw Myungsoo’s bandaged body. Sungyeol sat with Myungsoo the whole time he was unconscious. When he opened his eyes the next day, Sungyeol felt like his soul left his body because though Myungsoo was now far from fatal injury, he could neither move his jaws nor his limbs. Doctors said that it would take some time to recover completely, maybe 6-7 months. Sungyeol took care of Soo whole-heartedly.  After 4 months:           Due to Sungyeol’s regular care & assistance, Myungsoo healed faster. He is ready to go to school as well. While they were returning home, Yongguk’s gang interrupted them. Myungsoo hastily went behind Yeol. Sungyeol couldn’t take this anymore. They were the one who hurt his precious Soo.They had a strong fight. Being a coward, Myungsoo just hid behind the wall & saw the whole fight. He saw how Sungyeol started a good fight but later was going weak in front of those three, how there were scars all over his beautiful face & body, blood rushing out of him. He kept on seeing, seeing & only seeing.As they left leaving the limp body of Sungyeol in the dust, Myungsoo rushed to him & took him to hospital. Myungsoo kept on crying continuously until all his tears dried out.When Sungyeol’s mom came & thanked him for saving Yeol’s life, he could take it no more. He didn’t want to be seen as useless person by telling them the truth, neither he could face any of them from now on. So, he flew to Japan the next day, which he thought was the best solution for all.              After the incident, Sungyeol woke up after 3 days.  Sungyeol’s POV:           Each & every part of my body is aching like hell but the part which is hurting the most is- my heart. Soo left me. I wish I had more power to fight those three. Why the hell did I have to collapse. I just want to see you Soo. Where are you?? Why did you leave me?? Wae?? Was our relation that insignificant for you?  After 5 years: Myungsoo’s POV:           Woah!! Today Yeol’s new movie is going to be released. I wish it to be a huge hit like the previous one. He has become a model turned actor mega star. I’m proud of him.            Seeing his success really makes me happy. But sometimes, when his bangs are pulled up & I see that scar in his forehead, the whole scene’s memory is visualized. It’s not that I’ve ever forgotten but the scar makes me feel more guilty. He always has to let his bangs down to cover his mark.            Sometimes I miss him so much, I just want to book the next flight to Korea & rush to him & give him a tight bone-crashing hug.            As if I could do something like that………….            I’m such a coward that I left him when he needed me the most. The guilt inside me is killing me day by day. If some day…..if we meet each other, I won’t ever be able to meet his eyes. Probably I’ll run away as soon as I’ll see him. Maybe I would act as I don’t recognize him. Maybe…..urgh, I don’t want to imagine the picture.            I’m glad that he is doing well. At times, I feel that my decision to leave him was good. If I was with him, he would drop everything to be with me, to protect me. I would have chained him from doing anything, he could not have become this famous if I was with him.           As I entered my photo studio, some of my co-workers were gossiping about something. I could not get the exact words, but came to know that they are talking about  some Korean actor. Hmm…Japan is really influenced by the Hallyu wave. I didn’t give much attention to it but when I heard the name “Sungyeol”, my ears got perked up. Immediately, I asked one of them, “Hey, what are you guys talking about?”            “Don’t you know? Sungyeol got into a terrible accident while going to attend his new movie’s premier.”            “WHAT? Give me the full detail”, I practically yelled at them.            They were shocked by my sudden outburst but nonetheless continued, “Sungyeol was going to the venue of his movie premier when a bus with failed brake came & collided with his car. People around rushed him to the hospital immediately but his condition is critical. Doctors are saying he m...maynot be able to s..survive.”            I felt my heart tightening by those words. My feelings for Yeol which I thought was hidden well, resurfaced again. I could not hold back myself now. The next thing I knew is now I’m at Korea. As soon as the plane landed, I rushed to the hospital where my love was fighting for his life. Everybody, Sungyeol’s parents, my parents, & all were surprised beyond limit, to see me after whole 5 years. But I couldn’t care about that now. So, I just asked them how is Sungyeol.            None of them were able to speak. Gently my father patted my shoulder & said, “Son, have hope. Be strong. Remember, Yeol is a good fighter.”            I didn’t know how to react. My mind went blank. I prayed God to save him. If anyone should be dead then, its me. I don’t want to live a life full of guilt. Please God, spare him. He has full right to live, he has a bright future ahead.Oh please God  please, wake him up. I still have not said him “SORRY” for being coward, “SORRY” for not mustering my courage to help him beat the guys, “SORRY” for leaving his side while he needed me the most, “SORRY” for not fulfilling our promise of never leaving each other. Finally when doctor came out from the operation room, I hurried to him & what he told next shattered me.Slowly, I went inside the room & saw Yeol’s face which I missed so much. I gently hold his hand. Oh, how I longed for the single touch. Hesitantly, I caressed his face which is so pale now, which once used to be beaming with happiness.I thought that I didn’t have any more tears to shed, but seeing the person whom I care the most in my life in such situation, I could not help but cry out loud. My Yeol is not dead, but he is not alive as well. He is in coma…damn it. Why the hell does he have to suffer like this.Seeing the behavior of everyone, I’m sure that Yeol has not told anyone my story of cowardice. They think that I couldn’t bear to see Yeol in pain so, I went away. But, bearing the guilt inside, how could I face them. So, I decided to tell them the truth, whatever the result may be.When I finished telling every detail, and asked for their forgiveness, I didn’t expect the outcome to be like that. I thought that they would hate me, they won’t even let me be near Yeol from now on. But to my greatest dismay, they listened the whole thing patiently. Later Yeol’s mom came, sat beside me & said the most surprising words. She gently squeezed my hand & told me, “Forget the past. What’s gone is gone. We’ll always be thankful to you for bringing him to hospital timely then. We pray that he would make it now as well & wake up soon. I am happy that you returned now. Yeol will be very glad to see you.”Am I dreaming?? They should have punished me. How can they forgive such a sin?? Are they angels?? They must be. But now I feel like a heavy burden is removed from my chest. I can face them from now on. They know what kind of person am I. This time I’m not going to leave Yeol. I will be with him until he wakes up.  Nobody’s POV: Myungsoo never left Sungyeol. He always brought flowers for him. He told him his story of past 5 years. How he went to Japan, studied photography & now is working in a small photography studio. How he kept himself updated with his every news, how excited he was when Yeol’s first movie was released and so on. Everyday, he told “SORRY” for all that happened. He cried each day apologizing.  He also showed him all the pictures he had capture till date.Many times, Yeol’s parents told Myungsoo to go to work, to lead his life. But, he refused to be away from Yeol. This is his punishment for whatever wrong he had done & a chance to get forgiveness, from Yeol & maybe from himself.  After 2 years & 6 months: Myungsoo’s POV: As I was going to enter Yeol’s room, I heard some whispers. I couldn’t help but to lean to the door & listen what the doctors were talking about. My eyes went wide when I heard what they were discussing.  I immediately opened the door & yelled at them, “How could you think of doing that? He is still breathing. How can you loose hope so easily?! I would not allow you to remove the IV needles from him. I’m ready to pay any amount, you just keep on giving him medicines.”“It’s not about money, Mr. Kim. Its been more than 2 years & we didn’t see any improvement in him. His condition is degrading tremendously from last 2-3 days. We have already done our best. So, please be prepared. We are going to remove the needles tomorrow.” The doctors then went out leaving me helpless there.Holding Yeol’s hand, I cried. I can’t believe that he is going to leave me. Please Sungyeol wake up. This has to be a joke. Its a prank by those stupid doctors right!! You are a fighter Yeol, you are a taekwondo champion, you are able to fight for your life. Come on!! I have not even confessed you my love. I have not yet told you how much I adore you. The time when I was away from you, I was able to live in the memory of your jolly smile, your bubbling chit-chat, even though you acted tough in front of others, you were such a choding when you were with me. If you wake up now, I will be brave Yeol. I will fight with everyone. I will protect you. I beg you to come back.    Meanwhile: Sungyeol saw bright light surrounding him. Adjusting his eyes with the brightness, he slowly opened his eyes to see three fairies with cute wings before him. He smiled sweetly to them and asked, “Am I dead now? Are you fairies of heaven?”Seeing his cuteness, they chuckled slightly & one of them asked, “Do you want to die?”Sungyeol was fiddling with his answer so, another fairy offered, “ Do you wish to have a glance to the Earth where you are physically now?”Sungyeol nodded his head. The fairies showed him the hospital bed where he was lying lifelessly. And, to his greatest surprise, he saw Myungsoo, his love of life, crying his heart out, holding his body so tightly like his life was dependent on it.Seeing his shocked expression, the fairies asked, “Are you angry with Myungsoo for what he did?”Sungyeol quickly replied, “NO!! I’m not angry with him. I never was. I just felt little disappointed when he left me. Each day I have been praying to meet him again and tell him to be by my side no matter what. I know he felt himself responsible for what happened. But I want to tell him that it’s not his fault. I feel glad that he didn’t come to help me then. Else he would also be beaten up and I don’t want to see the one I love being hurt. I’m thankful to him that he took me to hospital timely. I want to tell that phabo to not feel guilty for his action and that I have always loved him and will continue doing it.”“Then go & tell him Sungyeol. Down there in earth, there is Myungsoo, who loves you very much, who needs you the most now. He has worked so hard to earn forgiveness from you. Go & give him your love.”     Myungsoo felt some movement underneath his hand. He rubbed his tears out of his eyes & saw Sungyeol’s fingers were moving. OMG!! SUNGYEOL IS MOVING. He hurried & called the doctors.Myungsoo, along with Sungyeol’s & his parents waited impatiently outside the room. After some time, the doctors came out with a huge grin in his face, “Its a miracle. I don’t know what to say but Myungsoo sshi, it’s your prayer and love that brought him back to life. He has opened his eyes but it will take some time for him to recover completely. And for now, I recommend only one person to go in.”Everybody without any hesitation let Myungsoo go in.With a mixed emotion of happiness & fear, he entered the room as quietly as possible. Myungsoo was lost in his thoughts, “What if he hates me for being such a coward? What if he doesn’t want to see me anymore? What if….”His chain of thoughts was broken by a soft voice, “Soo-soo”. It was Yeol, even though he had a pale skin, his face was decorated with a beautiful smile. Hearing the angelic voice after so long & seeing the life in once lifeless body, Myungsoo was out of words. He hugged Sungyeol  & cried but this time, he shed tears of happiness.“Sungyeol, I am sorry. Forgive me for being a coward. I’m really sorry for….”Myungsoo could not complete his sentence as Sungyeol said, “I missed you….. I missed you so much phabo. Don’t you dare leave me again.”            Myungsoo hugged Sungyeol tightly & replied, “I promise I’ll never ever leave you, Yeollie. And, I too miss you a lot.”            And with this, Myungsoo pecked Yeol’s lips. Though  it was a short and sweet kiss,  it was the starting of the new beginning. The bond and emotion they felt for each other was so strong that the word “I  love you” was not necessary to be spoken.     A/N: Finally I completed it!!
