Pairing: Kibum/Donghae

For those interested... I still have one more spot left in my fic meme

Title: Moments of Weakness

The first time you met him was in a nightclub. You were getting yourself drunk because you just recently broke up with your girlfriend. He sat right next to you before you started blabbering stuff. Those sweet and painful memories you’ve spent with your girlfriend and about how much you love her. He listened to you but you don’t know if he was forced to do so or if he was willing to listen because you have a tight grip on his arm which won’t allow him to move away. When it’s time to pay for your bills, you lacked the money and he ended up paying the rest.

The second time you met him was in the hospital. You were having a suicidal attempt which failed and ended you up in the hospital. He entered the wrong room, which was your room. Actually, you don’t remember him. You just thought he looked familiar. But he remembered you and introduced himself as Kibum. He told you what happened when you first met. You were embarrassed but still you gave your name Donghae to him.

The third, fourth and fifth time you met was still in the hospital. Kibum was able to visit you three times after the day of introduction. He brought you fresh flowers and fruits. Both of you would talk about certain things and events but it was nothing personal and simply just fun. You look forward to his visits but then, you got discharged and you wonder if you’ll meet him again or if he’ll find you again somehow.

The sixth time you met was at the café. You were having a bad day. The day was full of problems and completely stressful so you decided to escape. You ended up in the café having coffee, trying to get yourself to relax but you ended up crying in frustration for not being able to solve your problems. Then he came and listened to your problems. He didn’t give any advice. He didn’t even try to cheer you up or say that everything’s going to be okay. But you felt better after sharing your problems.

The seventh time you met was at the cemetery. You were burying your beloved pet goldfish. You actually wanted your friends to be here with you but they just laughed it off and said that he was too dramatic and emotional over an ordinary goldfish so now, you are grieving alone for the death of your beloved pet goldfish. You were about to leave when you saw him.

He was crying in front of the grave of his parents. You think it’s your turn to listen to him and that’s what you did as he talked about the fond memories he had with his parents. When he finished, he asked what you were doing in the cemetery. Then it was your turn to talk about your pet goldfish.

“You always seem to see me in my moment of weakness but it’s my first time to see you in your moment of weakness.” You said and you know that you’ll find each other again when there’s another moment of weakness.

The eighth time you met was on the street. You stared at his crying face. It didn’t bother you that his tears had fallen on your face. At that moment, you felt weak but you gathered the remaining strength in your body to wipe those tears away and pull him closer to you so you could give him a kiss. Your last thought was that you must have looked cool dying this way like in those dramas and movies in which you saved an innocent bystander and had your last kiss with Kibum.

The ninth time you met… it can’t exactly be called a meeting if Kibum can’t see you, right? Because you’re already a spirit watching your own funeral in which Kibum had attended.

“Are you Donghae’s friend?” Your mother asked because nobody in that funeral knew who Kibum was. They must have thought that Kibum was attending the wrong funeral.

“I guess you could say that.” Your mother accepted Kibum’s answer and left him alone after that. Then Kibum looked at your dead body in the coffin and asked. “We weren’t just friends, right? We were more like strangers seeking comfort with each other in our moments of weakness but we could have been something more if you just didn’t die…”

Everybody was surprised including you when Kibum had leaned over and placed a kiss on the glass which was the only thing that separated your dead body and Kibum. You knew that Kibum would be visiting your grave in the future and continue to share his moments of weakness with you.

THE END

A/N: Angst xa merxa so dapat ganahan jud ka ani~ lolz and to those who didn’t understand what I said, don’t bother trying to understand because it was meant for merxa anyway XD;;; and this POV is from Donghae~ I kinda messed up their names in the 2nd and 3rd paragraph but I edited now~ though I wonder if my earlier readers got confused... >.>

Here. My comment.
I know, that you know, that everyone knows... that me and the others wants the sequel. right?
XD
It was amazing! Even if it was slightly angst, it was... mmmm, full of emotions. Just to think there were ALMOST something. But death separated their paths.
Or maybe not.

So, where do I sign up for the public request for the sequel... XD!
Jishu: Yoona[info]jishu on June 15th, 2009 08:30 am (UTC)
... omg, another request *dies* THIS is why I don't put up a request page >.> but yeah, just I admitted to the other person... I can't resist and I'm "kind" enough to do it X_x... but Hae's dead!!! ugh @_@ fine, fine... I'll do something about it... but it'll take a while (a loooong time) ok? because duty started and although things aren't really busy this week but it will for the next weeks to come @_@... and I still have a blind pic challenge and fic meme to do~ >.> sorry for blabbering... I phail X_x

Jishu: Jessica[info]jishu on June 16th, 2009 02:19 pm (UTC)
Thanks for reading~ ♥ It's my first fic with character death ^_^
Li: Ryopi[info]kyaa_kawaii on June 16th, 2009 06:37 pm (UTC)
So sad... *Pouts* I wouldn't have read it if I'd known it was angst...
yah...so maybde it was better that I didn't know it was angst...
^O^
Idk why but...I really liked it. (and this comes from me, aka an angst hater who still writes angst every now and then just because I have a secret passion of killing characters in the end of an fic or cause them great pain. I'm such a weirdo o_O But no need to shoot me please, not yet, I still haven't gone to Japan or Korea or China!)

My fav part was probably:

“You always seem to see me in my moment of weakness but it’s my first time to see you in your moment of weakness.” You said and you know that you’ll find each other again when there’s another moment of weakness.

afakskgsakshj Really. loved. that. part.

:D
Li: Ryopi[info]kyaa_kawaii on June 16th, 2009 06:42 pm (UTC)
stupid me. I just have to spazz a bit about how there are so many from FINLAND(I'm a Finn and I live in FInland, just if you want to know why I'm so excited about that) that have wieved your LJ. God, if I only could know some of them in real life. It sucks being the only one amongst a group of friends that is really really in love with a)Japan b)jpop,jrock,visual kei, kpop c)asia overall d)Japanese, Korean, Chinese(the languages) and e)yaoi and fanfics...

Sorry for spamming your post! *bows deep*

♥♥♥ To your fic btw...

The fic is so good & angsty of course.
I've been having a rough day trying to study and I'm supposed to read a happy fic, but it's fine. Your fic is so good that it doesn't need a happy ending.
The characters are so Donghae & Kibum, lol!
If Donghae were in that kind of situation, I'm almost certain that Kibum would do just as you wrote.
Poor Donghae died, though. Did he commit suicide?
Anyway, great job!
Jishu: Sunny[info]jishu on June 17th, 2009 01:42 pm (UTC)
We're speaking Bisaya~ I'm aware that it has some similarities with Malay but I don't think the meaning is the same?

Donghae didn't commit suicide~ he saved an innocent bystander from an accident~ I don't know what kind of accident thou~ Could be falling objects from a building construction or car accident~ XD

Thanks for reading ~ ♥ I'm glad you thought I did a great job because I'm not really good with writing KiHae.
