AFTER THE LIGHT FADES (ONE SHOT) (DBSK FANFIC)

It’s been a year… Everything is quiet now…

                All the screams and shouts were replaced by a maddening silence. All the melodies that captured so many hearts are gone and all that is left is the memory of what was once a beautiful dream.

                Everything is gone… the music, the dream, the friendship…

                There was nothing holding us together anymore…. All the smiles and laughter had disappeared and were replaced with words of regret and unhappiness.

                I can’t seem to remember when I last smiled and laughed without any lies or worries on my mind. With just a simple turn of events… everything and everyone was gone…

                I slowly walked to the living room. My apartment was quite small, maybe about one-fifth of what I used to live in before. But it was all I could afford right now. And I was already happy with it. My own private space, my very own world.

                I sat down on the couch. The place was so quiet. Something was missing.

                “Hello hyung, how are you today?” I uttered as I tried mimicking Max’s voice and gesture.

                “Fine, Are you hungry already? What would you like me to prepare for you?” I said, this time imitating Jaejoong.

                “He will cook anything you serve. So don’t worry,” I quickly uttered in Xiah’s sweet and laughing voice.

                “What are we going to do today? We finally have some time to rest…” I said with the serious tone that U-Know always uses.

                I quickly shook my head. Maybe I was going mad. I was talking to myself now. And to make matters worst, I was making conversations with non-existing people.

                Well, they aren’t totally non-existing… but just far away, I guess.

                Sad to say, ever since our group got disbanded, it was like we suddenly drifted apart.

                ‘What am I thinking’, I suddenly shrugged off the feeling of regret and pity that I was having.

                ‘If only we had done things differently… maybe,’ another thought passed through my mind.

I got up and went straight to the kitchen to get a bottle of soju. ‘Is Jaejoong still drinking his favorite wine?’ I asked myself.

Everything was different now. All of us had been living in different worlds right after the disbandment of our group was made.
