Life went on as if nothing had ever happened. Didn't it always? It would have gone on if Wonwoo had died, too. And no one would have remembered him. That was the really frightening thing. And so Wonwoo just kept on living.
That makes six. Six whole failed pages. Wonwoo knew everything that was going to happen to the characters, every detail, and yet it all unraveled when he tried to get it down on paper. Everything seemed wrong and stupid in this notebook today. Why couldn't he just write a decent confession scene? His characters deserved better than this shitty writing.
Kai approached his 'friend' uncertainly.
"Hey, I. . . I don't know how to say this but
Wonwoo snapped his pencil in frustration. Kai wouldn't be that nervous. None of this seems like him!
"Why is it all so bad!?" Wonwoo screamed, tearing the pages out, crumpling them up, and throwing them as far as he could. But he forgot that he was in a public park. And the papers happened to hit someone. A really hot someone. A really hot someone who just happened to be Kim Mingyu. Of course it had to be him. The guy he'd been crushing on for three years and who almost watched him commit suicide.
"Are you okay?" Mingyu asked, approaching Wonwoo with the papers in his hand.
"Fine," Wonwoo said sharply, retrieving the torn pages.
Mingyu's eyes widened. "Hey, it's you again!"
"Yes, it's me. I existed a week ago, I exist now."
"You're really sure you're okay?"
"Yes! Why do you keep asking!? Why wouldn't I be okay!?"
"You look kinda. . . really angry. And the fact that you're yelling just adds to it." Immediately, Mingyu feared for his life. Maybe he shouldn't have said anything.
"That's just my face, get over it," Wonwoo snapped.
"Okay." Well, he wasn't dead yet, so Mingyu decided to take a seat next to Wonwoo on the bench.
"What are you doing?"
"Sitting." Mingyu studied the angry boy's face. Wait! He knew him from somewhere other than the school rooftop! He snapped his fingers. "Hey, you're that kid who won the national writing contest three years in a row, right? Wonwoo!"
Wonwoo rolled his eyes. "Sure doesn't feel like it now."
"Writers block?"
"Yeah."
"You need INSPIRATION!" Mingyu put on a goofy grin, pointing finger guns and Wonwoo cracked a sort of half smile. "I WILL BE YOUR INSPIRATION!"
"You're stupid," Wonwoo said, almost laughing.
"I know." But what Mingyu didn't know what that he was already Wonwoo's inspiration. He had been for a long time.
(A/N: Just to clear things up, Kai is my OC, NOT Kai from EXO. His full name is Yu Kai and I'm working on a story about him. But you won't see it for a long time.)
