~How to Let Go~ Pt1
Kibum sat there heart broken. He felt like his whole world was crashing down at those three words muttered from his lips. Not the nice words he used to mutter, but horrid words that sent Key crashing to the floor in tears as soon as he left. Those words lingered in his head, "Let's break up." And then as if he never existed, he disappeared.
Key stayed like that, compacted in a ball, shield from the outside world, until the morning shone through his windows and onto where he laid.
There was a soft knock on the door, cutting the silence.
"Kibum?" Taemin called, afraid he would receive no answer, he used his informal words, "Kibum, Jonghyun told us what happened." There was a pause, "He says he's sorry, but he had to do it."
'Jonghyun', that name burnt a hole in Kibum's heart and soul, leaving an ugly scar as a reminder to the pain.
"Kibum please answer me, I'm worried." He heard the pleading words, but couldn't bring himself to get up or even answer him. He could hear the concern in the maknae's voice; he could also hear the chattering of his teeth as he stood in the early coldness.
Kibum sighed heavily, and stood. His muscles cracked as he stood and walked to the door. He opened it slowly and peeked out
"Hey Taemin." He rasped, for he spent the whole night crying and knew his voice hasn't recovered yet.
"Kibum!" Taemin gasped at his appearance and gathered him into a hug. Kibum's hair was disheveled and his face was puffy from the tears.
Taemin led Kibum inside and set Kibum on the couch, "I'm gonna go make some tea, and you sit right here" Taemin said as he pat Kibum's knee in a comforting manner.
"Geez Taemin, when did you become the Umma(mother)?"
"Since I began to live with Minho, that man needs someone around 24/7!" he brought in some tea cups and cookies from the kitchen.
Key laughed, he remembered the day Taemin told him, it was after they disbanded, well went on an indefinite hiatus, and Kibum felt it was all his fault.
