One way or the other, there occurs a time when one has to confront his past. The past, however bad it is, will always catch up, even though it may seem like it would never. The context, if bad for the subject, can cause collateral damage to him.
But whether he survives it or whether he gets himself destroyed in the process is solely dependent on how strong his heart is.
Yeonjun considers him strong. At least now, stronger than ever.
He always has.
Ever since he left his home, he has had downfalls. But they only made him stronger.
Thing is Yeonjun had confronted his past once.
Now twice.
Yeonjun mentally did a retrospection as his eyes landed upon the tall male seated at a corner of the cafe.
Was he strong?
No. Never.
He is a coward.
He had ran away, left the other in oblivion, because he was scared. Scared for him and the other.
What do you call someone who runs away in the middle of something so crucial?
A coward.
He gulped in, taking in the sight of his former lover, as he looked past Heeseung's shoulder.
He couldn't control his own feet as they moved forward. With a million things blaring through his mind.
Why would you need to see him now?
Just because. He is here.
You have a boyfriend.
Enough reason to talk to him better.
How?
I won't feel anything I am not supposed to.
Are you sure?
Yeonjun stopped.
Is he sure?
Yes.
His past voice laughed devilishly as it rolled back into the abyss.
The exact moment he stood in front of Soobin's table and called him out.
"Soobin."
•••••••
Bighit used to have an anthem, remembers Hueningkai.
Not IDOL. Not any title track.
But 60s and a sweet.
Soobin's solo from their album, years back.
And boy, that was one iconic song.
60s and a Sweet sounded definitely odd when Hueningkai first heard the title. He hadn't known why his hyung would go for such a name and why he would explore something so old.
Soobin wanted jazz in it. The feeling to just throw yourself into the dance floor if its plays somewhere. The feeling of being in love with something that would forever remain evergreen.
Jazz.
Oh when I saw you down the alleyway
Your little ponytail makin' my mind sway
It does a criss-cross, frickle-frackle
Doin' a tiny tumble
And I just keep on singin'
60's and a sweet
Oh baby, dash and dance with me
Let the rhythm sweep you off your feet
And we'll just keep on singin' ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
60's and a sweet.
The song was iconic because it potrayed a male as the other lead.
Hueningkai remembers that, for he was the other lead in the music video.
