7 Years of Love | yoonhae

Wounded

Pyrotechnic. How to define it? One can say; it can be used to illuminate a place and give a signal for someone or someplace. Or, the art of making something spectacular. The simplest form? Fireworks. A brilliant display of fireworks. Those bright fireworks in the sky are just like Fourth of July. It is very fascinating, how a fire can make us in awe. Very breathtaking indeed.

But no, this is not a story about fireworks or anything related to it.

This is a story about YoonHae. The romance that used to exist between these two people, Donghae and Yoona. Just like the fire that gives the sky sparkle of light, which only lasted for a few minutes, the couple used to look so beautiful and wonderful in silence.

Donghae slammed the door loudly. He could care less what his bandmates would say right now. He was having a bad day. A really bad day. He sighed and sat on the floor. What a seriously bad way to start and celebrate New Year.

He just couldn't believe his eyes when he saw her - his sweetheart, the lover of his life - with someone else. He thought it was just a rumour, a fake gossip made by the media to ruin her image. But then again, the world never fails to surprise him. It was real. A horrible reality that he has to accept. He sighed again and closed his eyes. Donghae let his mind absorbed the cruel fact.

Geez.

He wanted to cry and forget everything. But his mind was swimming with questions that could not be answered for a moment. Why, why is this happening to him? What he has done to be punished like this? To see a woman he adores, loves with all his tiny heart dating someone else? Furthermore, his lover is dating his own senior!

Yeah, his inner heart said.

You deserve this for not treating her right before. But he had asked for her forgiveness! Has she forgotten everything about him? About what they were before?

The pain was everywhere but he truly felt it in his already bleeding and breaking heart.

One. . .

Two. . .

Three. . .

Lee Donghae finally broke down to tears.

He just couldn't take this anymore.

So he cried and cried and cried till he couldn't anymore.

And when the tears dried off, he screamed and threw everything in his room. From the books to furniture. It felt good for a while. Then again, good was not a word in his dictionary.

He took out his possessions from his wardrobe and threw them on the floor. Damn, he has never felt this much pain before. He was searching for other things to throw it out too when something caught his puffy and wet brown eyes.

It was an album. And of course, it had to be full of her pictures. Pictures of when the two of them are still together. Donghae smiled painfully. He took the album and opened it randomly. He stopped when he saw a picture that was taken around 2010.

"Yoong and Hae. We are number one!"

The caption was written by Yoona herself.

He chuckled silently. He still remembered it clearly, they were just finishing a concert together. How he wishes he could turn back time.

Donghae was suddenly attacked by a flashback. A flashback of him and Yoona. When both of them were still a trainee.

It was morning when Donghae saw her. The new trainee in SMent. The others already greeted her. Only Donghae haven't. Yoona glanced at him and smiled. Damn, this girl took his breath away, metaphorically speaking. It was awkward and full of shyness but they still greeted each other.
