DISTINCT LOVE || TaeGyu

Chp 19

Taehyun's POV

I walked down the silent hallway and entered the room I had missed so much.

It had been a week since I woke up from my short coma. To put it simply, staying here in my grandmother's haven was helping me to forget everything—the conscience, the sadness, and the suffering.

I slowly looked around the dim room, and everything felt frozen in time. The moonlight cast a blue hue around me, making me feel both cold and relax. I reached for the old guitar my brother used to play with me in the past.

"Rocky-hyung! Play me a song! Please! Pleeease!"

"What song do you want me to play, Taehyun-ah~?"

"Magic Island!"

"You really love that song, huh?"

"Yup! And I love your vooooiceeee!"

"Alright, young prince, your wish is my command!"

"Yayyyy!"

I softly chuckled as I reminisced about a sweet memory with my brother in this room. Until, my eyes caught a quote beautifully carved into it by my brother.

"The waves crash against the shore."

I remembered the meaning of that quote, it symbolized the waves of emotions that crash over someone in their lover’s absence.

I let out a deep breath when it hits me.

I strummed the strings, and I gently began to sing.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star~
God, I wonder where you are~
Tell me that you're not too far away~
Oh no....

Late drive with the same song on replay~
Sing loud as we head home in the rain and so do you~
We walk into your front door~
We dance on the kitchen floor~
Oh, I wish that night would never end...~

As I began singing, my voice trembled, and a sharp ache spread through my chest as the song struck a chord deep within me. It hit my emotions directly, unearthing the pain I tried so hard to suppress.

I miss him.

I miss Beomgyu so bad.

His silliness.

His endless rants.

His bold, straightforward affections.

Everything about him.

Soobin keeps updating me, but the news remains the same—no leads, no trace of him. He’s still missing, like a flicker of light drowned in an ocean of darkness.

Everywhere I look, this place holds pieces of him. The dark corners, the woods, the shifting clouds, the sun, the pale glow of the moon.

They all remind me of him.

It’s as if the world itself refuses to let me forget.

I don't know how it's been two months~
And you've gone quiet~
I'm stuck talking to the moon like~

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star~
God, I wonder where you are~
Tell me that you're not too far away~
'Cause I'm like~
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star~
Please don't leave me in the dark~
Tell me you're not in his arms again~
Oh, no~
