A short story based on Dujun & Dongwoon's song 'When The Door Closes'~~~~
A/n: The guy can either be Dujun or Dongwoon, since I didn't mention any names in the story...
“You’re…breaking up with me..?” he managed to choke out, looking at the girl before him with pain clearly evident in his eyes. “Why? Did I do something wrong to you? Was I wrong?”
“No. It’s just that I—” the girl said, cutting herself off with a sigh, trying to stop herself from shedding the tears that were threatening to spill out of her eyes. “—I just…don’t love you anymore…”
“Oh…” he uttered, absolutely devastated. He heaved a sigh, heavily collapsing down onto the couch with his index finger and thumb pinching the bridge of his nose, indicating that he was thinking of something painful. After what seemed like forever of her just looking at him struggle with his obvious pain, he spoke up once more, diverting his eyes from hers. “Well…that…changes things…”
“Yeah,” she choked out in a tone that was totally devoid of any emotion. She managed to act her way through this horrendous breakup, looking as confident as ever, even though, on the inside, her heart was quickly shattering into millions of pieces.
Another wave of silence was exchanged, both of them deep in thought. She sighed heavily to herself, trying to calm her aching heart as she waited for him to speak once more. When he did, though, she was suddenly scared.
“So, do the last five years mean nothing to you?!” he snapped, making the pain in her chest ache more fervently. “After five years, you’re just going to let us fall into pieces?! After five years, you’re just going to break my heart?!”
By this point, he was unashamedly shedding tears as he looked at her with so much pain on his heavenly face that she felt her heart aching even more. Clenching her fists tightly to try to contain the pain within, she heaved out a sigh, forcing herself to stay composed. After all, she had to look like she simply didn’t care anymore. It was part of the deal.
“Well?!” he roared, frightening her. The pain and anguish in his eyes burned painful images in her mind, permanently scarring her. She only looked at him, a blank look on her face.
“Yes. That’s exactly what I’m doing,” she finally managed to say in a clear voice. He looked at her then, more shocked and outraged than pained.
Once more, the silence between the two of them was deafening. He just glared at her whilst she remained unmoved, staring straight into his eyes, trying to show him how sorry she was, which was a futile task, since he was morbidly unobservant when it came down to it.
After what seemed like an eternity of the silence, his face slowly softened up as he looked at her, stunned by her ethereal beauty. Although he was extremely aggravated, he couldn’t deny the fact that she was the most breathtaking being he’d ever encountered. Once more, he sighed, frowning deeply.
“Fine,” he managed to say, his expression hardening, imitating hers perfectly. “Let’s break up, then.”
“Goodbye,” she whispered, caressing his face slowly, making him cringe at the contact. Ignoring the sting at the rejection, she merely sighed once more and picked up her things, walking to the door, putting on her shoes. Before exiting their dorm, however, she looked back at him, saying, “I’m sorry…”
And with that, his life’s greatest treasure was gone…
He sighed to himself, collapsing back down to the sofa, curling himself up into a ball, his head resting against his knees. Clutching at his chest, he did the only thing that he could think of. Standing up, he went towards his sanctuary, picking up his journal and pencil before sitting down in front of the piano, his fingers gliding against the cool ivy as he began to compose a new song.
“
When this door closes
When the image of you disappears
I’ll probably spend the day in tears
Because of memories with you, I’m left alone
I wish that you’ll be happierWhen I let go of this hand now
I’ll no longer have any reason to smile, but
When I see you smiling
In another’s embrace, I’ll try to smile...” he sang, tears slowly beginning to cascade down his face as he reminisced of her and their time together...
