prism [ kim s.j ] ( fin )

† 43

     cold hands, tucked in jean pockets. leather squeaked between the joints of his arms, rain. damp blonde strands stuck to his forehead, droplets.

     "it's quiet in here..." jimin noted. they swung by in, settling around a table. polished chairs, long legged chairs.

     "what do you want boys?" the bartender went out, paper in hand.

     "just soju, ajusshi. thanks," the eldest said, silent and listening to the boys laughing about whatever. head leaning on his propped up arm, his hearing tuned in and out from the boys' voices.

     he couldn't tune out from the melody. very familiar.

     he couldn't hear the boys, their laughs, their bickers.

is it true, is it true

you, you

you're so beautiful, that i'm scared

untrue, untrue

you you you

     jin peeked at them. they motioned them to look somewhere else.

will you stop time

if this moment passes

as though it hadn't happened

i'm scared scared scared i'll lose you

     his ears were drumming, lip stinging, hands colder.

     jin couldn't get up, ice running down his back. shiver, prickled, goosebumps.

like the way you are stroking my cheeks

like the dust drifting along freely

you're right there but why are you beyond my reach

     "soo kyu..." he whispered. he felt a pat on the shoulder, a hand. consolation that only taehyung gave, but never worked.

     he looked at her fingers, the colours regaining one by one. yellow, green, indigo, all of it. complete. a rainbow.

don't think of anything

don't say anything, not even a word

just give me a smile

     pause. look up. he didn't get her attention - she was looking somewhere else.

     the slowly growing crowd applaud, he joined in. kyu gave a smile.
