Broken Strings

Chanyeol & Baekhyun

A thin hand traces the strings of his beloved acoustic guitar. These days I pick it up and touch it more often than ever. The rhythm played is still the same rhythm that is repeated every day. Inside the spacious room A small figure sits alone with his trusty guitar. Only the glow of a few bulbs remained on.

Stunned!

The sound of my favorite guitar string breaking. Meanwhile, he was injured from a cut on the tip of his finger. Bright red blood began to drip onto the beautiful carpeted floor. It was no different from the teardrops that were flowing down this white, expressionless face at this moment.

A hand stained with blood slowly lifted up to wipe away the tears on his face. No matter what pain it is right now, it cannot be compared to the pain inside my heart.

It hurts so much that my heart doesn't want to feel any more.

“I'm back.” A tall, slender figure opened the door and entered the familiar room. Along with taking off his outerwear and putting it in its place like every day.

“Why don't you turn on the lights, Baekhyun? Why are you sitting here in the dark?” Finished speaking, a large hand reached out and turned on the light switch. His voice was smooth. It was as if this kind of event happened regularly until we had become accustomed to it.

Baekhyun still sat and clenched his fist, which was dripping with blood.

“Chanyeol, I'm hurt.” His hoarse voice came out weakly.

“The line broke again? I told you to change it a long time ago. Dress your wound." The tall man finished speaking and walked into the room. Letting the small body sit still as before

What hurts is in your heart, Chanyeol. It hurts so much that I can't explain it in any other words. Do you still love each other? How can I continue to believe it?

Tears still flowed down continuously. But not even a sob could be heard. Baekhyun stood up and walked over to the outerwear that Chanyeol had taken off. A white hand picked it up and bent his head to inhale the scent that, however, was not the scent of the perfume his lover normally used. This scent was starting to become familiar to Baekhyun's nose.

Because it always comes with Chanyeol when Chanyeol returns late. Every time Baek Yeon asked Chanyeol he would just say, “Let's go eat after the meeting” every time I hear it. Baekhyun tried to believe it even though deep inside he knew it was all a lie.

The little body felt a touch from behind. Chanyeol walked up and embraced Baekhyun. A handsome face rested on the smaller man's shoulder.

“Let's go eat. There's nothing.” The voice was still as smooth as before, nothing had changed. But Baekhyun felt the embrace was different. An embrace that has no warmth left And Baekhyun hadn't felt it in a long time either.

“I want to believe it, Chanyeol. But I probably can't do it anymore.”

How many times have you said those words over and over?

How many times have I had to sit alone in this wide room?

How many times have I forgiven you when you said you were sorry?

But now I can't do it anymore.

A thin hand slowly loosened the embrace of the person behind him and turned to face the tall figure. The tears kept flowing and Baekhyun still couldn't force them to stop now.

“What is it between us, Chanyeol?” Two white hands reached out to touch the tall figure's face. Only now, just now that Chanyeol will have him in his sight.

“What are you talking about, Baekhyun?” The tall man still couldn't understand the expression of the smaller man in front of him, who was now different from every day he'd ever met. Packhoon wasn't normally a difficult person to understand. This allows us to be together. But Chanyeol must have forgotten many things about Baekhyun being with Chanyeol every day because....

“I tried to be patient. Because I don't want you to be in trouble with me.”

“You know this very well.”

“I feel happy. Just seeing you smile at me makes me satisfied.”

“What do you want, Baekhyun?” The tall figure began to take Baekhyun's hand, which had now begun to loosen its touch from his face.

“I don't need anything Chanyeol. I'm tired, tired of chasing after your love. Even though it's too late.”

“What is too late? What are you saying, Baekhyun? I don't understand.” The tall figure began to squeeze the thin wrist of the person in front of him. He didn't understand what Baekhyun wanted.

“I endured the fact that it hurt me. But I don't want both you and me to lie to ourselves anymore.” Chanyeol slowly relaxed from squeezing the smaller figure's wrist. Then he looked deeply into the eyes of the person in front of him, something he had never done since we had been together. And Chanyeol began to understand the needs of the figure in front of him.

Chanyeol forgets many things about Baekhyun.

Baekhyun is with him because of love. It's not just our personalities that we get along with as Chanyeol feels.

“I'm sorry, Baekhyun.”

“I love you, I love you so much, I love you more than my life. But today, how can I continue to love you?” The figure slowly went to embrace the tall figure in front of him.

“It's too late for both of us.” Baekhyun tightened his hug even more than before. Because this is the last time he will hug someone.

Right in front of this

After breaking away from the embrace of the person in front of him Baekhyun then brought himself to a large bag that had already been prepared. He dragged his bag past the tall figure and towards the door. A white hand grabbed the knob and turned it to open the door before turning to say the last words to the tall figure. who is still standing in the middle of the room Ever since he broke the embrace

“Goodbye Chanyeol,” Baekhyun's voice trailed off. The sound of the door closing followed.

Chanyeol slowly sat down on the carpeted floor where Baekhoon's bright red blood could still be seen. Next to it lay an acoustic guitar with its strings broken. Chanyeol slowly reached out and picked up the guitar. Then he proceeded to play the tune that was familiar to him when Packhoon was in this room. But the melody is different. No matter how you play it, it's not the same because its wires are broken.

Let me hug you one last time while I still love you. Because I don't want to hug you one last time when I have no more love left.

Our love is too late We often find ourselves in our hearts when things are too late to fix. Baekhyun loves Chanyeol less and less. Even now Chanyeol loves Baekhyun with all his heart. But since our love goes in opposite directions, it will never meet again.
