[NEO] The Last Kiss - Act I

"The Last Kiss"

(Act I)

"What are you doing tomorrow?" Taekwoon suddenly asked Hakyeon in the van after they finished their radio show together.

"Nothing, why?" Hakyeon asked as he stared tiredly into the night sky.

"N-nothing..." Taekwoon gave up with carrying on the conversation.

Hakyeon went back look at the sky without really trying to talk with the vocalist. The older of the two friends have gotten really quiet and gloomy lately that Taekwoon didn't know what to do or what was on his friend's mind. He dug out his musical script and tried to distract himself from the awkward silence in the car.

Lately... it's like we don't have anything to talk about anymore... Taekwoon thought as he simply stared at the script without even paying much attention to the text.

He's been busy and constantly away from the dorms because of his musical activities and his activities in VIXX LR. He only just realized that he really hasn't spent much time with Hakyeon as he used to and it seems to him that Hakyeon spends way more time with the younger member than with the person who's the same age as him.

That thought alone was rather demotivating for Taekwoon especially since he really did want to talk with Hakyeon more. It's just, he didn't know where to start especially because it's usually the latter who initiates the conversation.

But he guess he reaps what he sows. Every time Hakyeon pesters him to have a conversation, Taekwoon would simply ignore the latter or give really short answers. So the leader must've given up on him or had a change of heart.

Taekwoon let out a very demotivating sigh as he just stared at the script of text he couldn't comprehend.

"Um, g-goodnight," Taekwoon said to Hakyeon as he saw the leader retreat to his bedroom the moment they entered their dorms.

"Nights," Hakyeon simply said and closed his doors.

I'm such an idiot. Why is it so hard? Taekwoon said to himself. He never thought he would end up having such difficulties trying to have a conversation with Hakyeon.

Taekwoon couldn't sleep peacefully that night as he thought about Hakyeon and the many ways he wished to be able to talk with the leader like they used to. He couldn't help but feeling the regret and hoping that he could maybe, somehow, turn back time so that he could accept Hakyeon's warmth than push him away. As he rolled around on his bed, he dug out his musical script once more hoping that he would eventually fall asleep while he read the script.

That's when he was suddenly hit with one of the lines from the musical...

"It is better to die all at once than to die a little every day."

Taekwoon swallowed hard as those words suddenly rung through his mind. He's heard, said and seen those words multiple times now but it never struck him as hard as it did right now. Somehow, it became so painful just reading that line. He couldn't help but feel like he was dying away little by little throughout the days where Hakyeon didn't talk to him as much anymore. It was an unbearable pain that he wish would just go away already.

That night was proven to be a very difficult time for Taekwoon to fall asleep. Though he read through and practiced his script throughly, he still felt like he didn't rehearse properly at all. Even during the morning rehearsal, he kept stumbling so much that his colleagues became worried for him.
