Fan Fiction 2: WE GOT SEPARATED – Prelude

WE GOT SEPARATED

Written by Anderei @Soompi Adam Couple Thread

PRELUDE

Both engrossed in past thoughts, both yearning to be with each other, both not knowing that their lives are destined to interlock again and never be separated.

*************************

We’ve been running into each other every now and then, with casual greetings, uneasy glances & with the silly scrambling fast to get away manner the whole time so…

I don’t know. Things have gone this way because neither of us wanted to make a move. Sure we do have feelings above all the other reasons but it never deemed itself enough to make us move then…

Again, they ran into each other. Hard as she may try to pretend she never saw Kwon, the stance, even his silhouette, and everything about his presence makes her insides tingle. It’s creepy, being with him this way… Ga In acknowledged him with a nod, barely looked him in the eye and hurriedly walked on…

It’s been three years since they’ve last been together. The dreadful night she’d always wanted to forget. Yet the memory lingers on, day by day it stings. “How can I get careless?” She asked herself again for a millionth time now.

“You said I got soon dae lips? You think it’s thick? Tell me, whose lips is thicker?” Ga In boldly asked, almost gasping in between breaths. “What about the taste? Are you interested too?” And with that she pouted her lips as far as they can go, if the gesture contained any aegyo to him she’s not too sure.

Gain cringed at the thought. She really shouldn’t have let her guard down.

********************

Noona is really something. I got nothing to say.  I tried so many times to get close to her again, even as a friend. But this or that, there’s just no way we could go back to where we are. It’s painful. How we ended up like this.

He doesn’t know why he never did what he should have done then. Head bombarded with what ifs, regret overwhelmed his reminiscence once more.

“Noona, you’re scary! What are you trying to do? Snatch away my innocence?” He menacingly snapped back. “I’m not that easy, you know. Tsk, tsk, to dare me like this…” even without stuttering, what’s been said is almost inaudible.

The next thing they knew they were already kissing. Kwon’s first kiss was not just a kiss. She ignited him in a way he shouldn’t have been ignited. Hard pressed bodies, interlocked tongues, both lips in search of so much more, it all seemed endless at the time. Her body is willing but the eyes showed different otherwise.

She’s as scared as he is.

They almost gave in until…

THREE YEARS AFTER WE GOT MARRIED

“It’s been a long time…”

Ga In almost lost her balance as she was reaching for the bouquet of flowers that had slipped from her hand. Even without looking up, she immediately knew who it was. She just can’t mistake the voice she believed to have mercifully forgotten through years.

To stand in close proximity with him gives her the creeps still. He may have changed a lot, physically, hinted deep maturity and yet some things did remain. The spark is still there, never failing to get through her. With her mouth slightly agape, Ga In just stood there speechless and unblinking at the unexpected guest in front of her.

“Your flowers are generating some news, huh? Although they can never compare to the beauty only you possess,” he smiled sheepishly at this then added, “Can you have my order please?”

“Uh-oh, yea-yeah… Sure…” Okay, stupid stammer, geesh.

So BEG is still BEG, even when they’ve already disbanded years ago. Narsha and Miryo unnies still appear on-screen while Jea unnie is very much happily married as to date. Ga In, on the other hand, decided to start up a flower shop and luckily, business is going quite smoothly since she started.

Now she’s here at MBC, her team busy for the floral decoration of a TV program set. She’s had her fill for the day of unwanted events popping one by one on her face but nothing she believes she can’t handle. But THIS… She doesn’t think she can handle this one.

He ruffled her hair like he usually does, sending wrong signals through different channels of her body. She desperately fought the shiver threatening to engulf her whole and make her more vulnerable to him.

“You’re so cute,” the compliment elevated Ga In to a different high plus ditto to his next words; “I guess you haven’t changed after all.”

Ga In’s heart skipped a beat. Maybe she hasn’t changed after all.

**************************

“You’re sooooo dead noona!” Mental scream.

He’s not sure but that man gives him the creeps. Could it be…Nah! Can’t be! NO! Yet…

Damn! Taller than me? Check. Tanned? Check. Plus he looks dead boring to him. Hehehe… But, really this is just too weird. Not the time to kid around.

Ga In seems tensed. Can’t make eye contact. Wait, is that a stammer again? At a loss for words? Tsk, how can she go “fidgeting with her fingers” like that? She doesn’t look cute!

Guy seems confident. Appearance wise, he looks okay to me. Bearable. Conscience cringed. Uhm… Okay! Fine! He’s a tad more handsome than him! But how can he worry like this? Noona’s around gorgeous guys all the time! He should be used to it!

Actually, Ga In never made Kwon’s heart rest even for a minute. Exxag. Bet that sounds good, right? But true, he’s always watching over her through the years…

So, years passed with just Kwon looking from afar, getting pretty shaken every now and then with guys swarming their way against each other just to arouse a bit curiosity from Ga In. But this man…

Mustering enough courage, with total kkapness, he extravagantly walked up to them, greeted in a way as if they won the lottery and really, does he really sound awkward here? He just needs to confirm his suspicion.

Ga In’s understandably shocked. Kwon never once approached her like this for a very long time. Everything’s changed, no texting, no cy, not even group get-togethers and stuff.  A stranger to each other was what we’ve become.

Only he and Kwon talked. Blah, blah. So he’s a big catch and all. More talk. Blah, blah. Oh, a real threat.

That night changed everything. Kwon have no grasp for things then but unexpected turn of events would twist their fate again. For as soon as his heart sank low with what he learned, a decision was made.

“Hehehe. So, you aren’t the salt room man, right?

The two gave him the look that’s supposed to tell him everything. The look he never wanted to see.

LAST MONTH OF WGM RECORDING

I have to kill her! Where’s the gun?

OBS striked Ga In as someone sooooo innocent she would’ve puked if her tolerance wasn’t all that good. Her actions match well with her heart-shaped cherubic face; the voice equally entrancing; the grace appalling and compelling.

It irks her how Miss Innocent’s “OPPA” sounds so good. So angelic, Ga In was in total awe of her. She can’t imagine her rival losing temper over mundane things, even the early traffic.

It infuriates her. How she is so unlike Ga In.

“OPPA, I need you to do something for me. But I guess I’d have to ask Gain unnie first.” She almost melted her unnie with the amazing kind of look she has. Her big brown eyes sparkling under the city lights; hinting at pure innocence and all; truthfully, someone tell Gain, how the hell can she refuse anything this girl ask?

********************

I’m chic. I’m cool. I can’t hold on to him for real, just can’t hold him back for we are fake after all.

And so Kwon and OBS went out far more times Ga In wish they hadn’t. Morbid thoughts swam endlessly inside her head; she allowed them to linger for that was how she was able to endure everything. To entertain ugly thoughts she shouldn’t be dwelling on, shouldn’t be bothered with and really, it just proves she’s hurt beyond anyone can ever think of.

“Earth calling Ga In! Earth calling Ga In!” Narsha unnie brought Ga In back to where irritating humans are abundant, need there be an emphasis?

Jea unnie chipped in, “Someone’s not herself lately, I wonder why… It’s not because of OBS, no, no, no.” She casually glanced at Ga In then added, “Did I just say OBS?”

With so much disrespect, the maknae blurted out, “Yah!!! What is it about me that makes you all freakin’ amused?! Don’t you have anything better to do?!”

“We do have something better to do, since we got no schedules and all…”

Words hung in the air. Miryo unnie stopped short, the silence leaving Gain curious all of a sudden. This ganging up on her scenario is bound to get her somewhere she supposed.

****************

If looks could kill, I bet noona’ll be dead by now.  Other men would have their eyes gouged out, ‘cuz the breath-taking sight we’re sharing at the moment is meant for me alone. If only I could take her away at this very minute, I would. I can own her all I want in my mind, but in reality we’re still the fake couple that we are.

“Kwonnie doesn’t look good,” Kwon heard Narsha noona whisper in Ga In’s ear. Who wouldn’t be? Just like seeing Ga In for the first time, she never fails to stun him. Pale skin gleaming under the moonlit sky; her see-through clad body is maddening. The blood-red two-piece swimsuit is pure dae bak.

The bonfire made her glow in an unearthly way. So it is, goddesses do walk on earth sometimes.

Circling the bonfire, there’s members from 2AM and BEG plus a bunch of close friends; everything was already a chaos right at the very beginning.  But no one ever thought Ga In can do so much more to make the night even crazier…
