A/N : I put this on my Facebook before... Just in case, if anyone haven't read this yet... lol
This is one of my one-shot fanfics that I'd like to share... :)
Flashback
“How can you be so short?” he ruffled her hair as the girl in front of him pouted.
“I’m not!” she puffed her cheeks in annoyance. Suddenly a woman entered the room making them both jumping in excitement towards her.
“Mom!!!” Both of them hugged her as she smiled greeting the twins.
“Did you take a good care of your sister?” she asked the boy as the boy nodded while grinning. The woman kissed them both on the cheeks.
End of flashback
“When will you sign the contract?” The young man just stared at the window ignoring his friend. A moment later, he looked back at his friend.
“Cancel it,” he stood before grabbing his coat and walked away from the room leaving the other soul in the room yet again.
Flashback
“It’s mine!”
“No! It’s mine!” He grabbed the coloring book from the little girl and ran away. Not wanting to lose, the younger girl ran after him but he was too fast. Her eyes are getting teary. Feeling angry, tears rolled down her cheeks as her cries getting louder and louder. Hearing her crying, he suddenly stopped running. He turned around and went back to her. Kneeling down, he gave her back the book.
“Here…”
“Nappeun saram (bad person)!!!” she cried louder and threw the book.
“I hate you! I hate oppa!!!”
End of flashback
Driving to the beach, he remembered when they used to come here with their parents. Him and Jaejin. Every time they came here, Jaejin would become so excited and she wouldn’t stop jumping in excitement.
He pulled up his car and turned off the engine. Again, he’s here. This feeling. So close yet so far away. He sighed. It just couldn’t be described with words.
Flashback
“Oppa! Look! A starfish!” she pulled him with all her might as the 7 year old boy chuckled.
“I thought you said you hate starfish,” he teased her. She pouted.
“I only said I hate Patrick…”
“So what? Patrick is still a starfish,”
“Uggh! I hate you!”
End of the flashback
Tracing his hand along the picture, he found himself missing her again.
How could he not? She’s his other half. Her heart is beating for him.
Long hair, chocolate eyes, thick eyebrows, rosy cheeks… she looked so happy in the picture.
How he wished, he could trade his life for her instead of the opposite…
Flashback
“Mom! Why can’t I play with oppa?!!!” She whined. It’s been awhile since she played with him and she started to miss him.
“Oppa is sick honey…” her mom caressed her long hair.
“Why?”
“Oppa’s heart is weak… So, he has to rest…”
“Can’t he take my heart?” she asked again with her bright eyes only to be disappointed when her mom shook her head.
“So, can I stay beside oppa? I don’t want him to be lonely…” the woman smiled and nodded.
End of the flashback
The pure crystals yet again trailed down his cheeks. He missed her – again. His dark chocolate orbs showing how fragile he is. How fragile he is when she’s no longer here. Having to accept the reality that his other half was no longer here. She’s no longer here…
Flashback
“He won’t last that long…” he hid himself behind the door with Jaejin. He knew it already though they refused to talk to him about his condition. He knew that his heart is weakened.
“How about the heart’s transplant? There must be a person who compatible with him,” he heard the doctor sigh and from the cracking voice earlier, he knew, his mom is crying again.
“There is…” “Really?!!! So, my son still has hopes…” they heard a silence inside the room for awhile before the doctor spoke again.
“Only Jaejin’s heart is compatible with his… I’m sorry…” He wasn’t really surprised with the fact. Really. He knew it already, long ago. He felt someone tugging his shirt as he was lost in his thoughts. Turning around, his eyes met with Jaejin – a-crying-Jaejin indeed.
“Oppa… Are you really going to leave me?”
End of flashback
Holding the tickets on his hand, he walked into the airport rather casually far different from his usual serious style. His thumbs gently caressed the two airplane tickets on his hands. After checking in, he walked to gate 9. With a determined expression, he took a deep breath before moving his feet.
Flashback
“Oppa! Look! An airplane!!!” Jaejin jumped excitedly showing the plane on the sky. He laughed as he saw her jumping around. After the plane disappeared, she sat beside Jaejoong on the bench. There are some other patients who walked around the park accompanied by their families. Just like him…
“Oppa...” “Hmm…” he mumbled.
“After you got better, let’s go to Japan. I want to visit our trees there,” she said as she leaned on his shoulder. He could feel his shirt wet. He knew that she’s crying again. But, he didn’t say anything because apparently, the tears also happened to stain his cheeks.
End of the flashback
His eyes looked at the scenery outside the window as Seoul slowly fading under the thick cloud. Leaning against the seat, he looked at the seat beside him. He slightly smiled before looking out to the window again.
Flashback
His heart was thumping madly. He knew something bad happened to her. He just knew. He wanted to go out when his parents and the doctor suddenly came.
“We’re going to do the surgery tomorrow…” the doctor said to him. He looked at his parents questioningly. But they just nodded. He noticed his mom’s eyes were red and puffy.
“Where’s Jaejin?” he asked as the room suddenly silenced.
“Honey, let’s do the operation first, I’ll bring Jaejin later, okay?” he shook his head furiously.
“No!!! I want to meet Jaejin first!” the doctor signaled the nurse to pass him the syringe.
“Noo!!! Something happened to her right?!!! Tell me!!!” his struggling slowly fading as he slowly doze off.
End of flashback
This place. They used to play here when they’re still small. When they were 5 years old, they planted trees here. Two to be exact. He caressed the big trees. 20 years already passed. He remembered their vow to come here again. Together.
“Jaejin… you’re a liar…” he mumbled.
Flashback
“Promise me… live happily…” she gave him one last smile before fading away. He held his hand out not wanting to let her go. But she disappeared… fading along with their memories.
Months passed, he finally could accept that she’s already gone. The day before his surgery, Jaejin was involved in a car accident as she was crossing through the road. She got an internal bleeding inside her brain. The doctors said she could’ve fight for her life but she didn’t…. and he knew why…
End of the flashback
‘You said we’ll come here together, remember? How come you let me come here alone? You jerk…’ he kneeled down in front of the trees. His hands slowly dug the ground. He then placed a necklace inside the small hole and buried it. Smiling, he looked up the trees.
‘I’ll eat as twice, smile as twice, cry as twice, work as twice and try everything as twice as hard, so that you’ll know I’m living happily. I’m living this life for you… for both of us. You’re sly. Leaving me behind to do all this huh? Saranghae…” he whispered as tears slid down his cheeks.
