murmurs of love || minglem

three

it was 3 am.
why is he getting thoughts like this now.
at the devils hour.
it scares hyeongjun.
especially with the fact that he always feels pain when sleeping when it's that hour.
like someone just.
tied him to a chair.
and choked him to death.
so he always wakes up,
desperate for water.

he didn't cry most of those nights.
but this time he did.
he felt poached.
he felt like someone just hung him.
someone cut off his legs and arms.
he couldn't move at all.
he desperately needed water.
he needed air.
he felt like he was about to die.
he had to stay like this for an hour,
are you serious?
he was trying to get up from his bed but he couldn't.
someones holding him down.
he then hears soft whispers.

speaking about how delicate he is.
how kind he is.
how sweet he is.
how cute he is.
how loving he is.
is the person doing this trying to sooth hyeongjun?
well if they are,
then they aren't doing a good job.
he felt more pressure on his urge to sob even more.
so he let more tears out.
screaming in pain.

he then closed his eyes and a vision flashed through his eyes.
as if,
the spirit wants to show him something.
the vision shows mingyu and him laughing together.
sharing smiles.
accurate.
but there's something off.
mingyu doesn't look as happy with him as he is now.
he doesn't look like he's enjoying the time he is spending with him.
hyeongjun wanted to cry even more.

he then heard more murmurs.
"do you have a meaning for love,
hyeongjunnie?"
"what is mingyu to you? love? ha, foolish."
"love is heart shattering,"
as soon as he heard the word shattering he felt a shard go through his chest.
thought there wasn't actually one going through him.
"don't you know that, hyeongjun?"
he started screaming as he felt his hair getting pulled on, his urge to drink getting higher.
he choked as he felt a rope tightening on his neck.
the pressure on his body getting worse.

his breathing faint,
he can't hear anything.
his breathing slows down.
as his heart beats unhealthily slow.
slow enough to stop.
his vision fading away.
what did he do to deserve this?
as he heard one last whisper,
his body shut down.

"follow the murmurs of love,
Song Hyeongjun."
