Band of Brothers (1/1)

Chapter One.Year 2003. It was our year. The year where we can finally come out and face the world. This is the year where all those agonizing times of literal blood, sweat and tears can come to fruition. All those days of training and exercise. All those days of near starvation because we needed to save as much as we can. All those days of exhausting practice that we felt like we were about to die. All those days will be paid off this year. This is the year that we can call our own. This is the year that we come out. This is the year… of Dong Bang Shin Ki. “Junsu-yah!” Junsu looked up from the piece of paper he was reading. Jaejoong was running towards him, frantically waving a piece of paper in his hand. “Junsu-yah! Did you see the new schedule?” Jaejoong was breathless by the time he sat beside Junsu.Jaejoong looked around and inched closer to Junsu. “Hyung, what does this mean? Our schedule is empty after the concert tomorrow… Hyung…” Jaejoong looked alarmed, tired and weary. He looked as if he was about to cry.  Junsu stared at Jaejoong and managed a small wistful smile. “This means what it means Jae. Dong Bang Shin Ki…there is no Dong Bang Shin Ki anymore…” Jaejoong’s eyes widened and his mouth opened as if he was about to say something but he remained silent. Jae and Junsu then stared at each other but was not really seeing each other. They were lost in their own thoughts.At the same time, they looked away and stared at the floor as if it held the answers to their questions. Questions that they unknowingly thought of at the same time: How did things come to this? Why did things come to this? And most importantly, why did they have to end like this?
