Under the Rainbow
Chapter Liii: Baby We're Done
A story of the Soviet House told in perfect 250 word segments
By: Chibi Ra Chan
Pairing: Korea/Belarus
Everything you think you know baby is wrong. It's all over but the crying, fade to black I'm sick of trying. Took too much and now I'm done. It's all over but the crying...
Yong Soo clearly has only two roads available to him; Go or Stay. Right or Left. Yao or Natalia. There is no middle ground.
His heart feels too small in his chest, as if his blood has turned to jelly and is unable to pump correctly.
It shouldn't even be an issue. Yao was the one person he treasured above all others, he loved his brother to the point of giving up half of his life for him. Literally.
He wanted to go and find his brother. Turn right, Pick Yao.
But there was Belarus, so much like him, yet so much worse, sprawled out on the dirty floor asking him not to.
She risked what mattered most to her; her brother's love, to tell him, hoping that he wouldn't betray the rare trust that she had bestowed upon him.
If he turns right, Natalia will be the one that pays for it, not him.
Yong Soo's feet ache to climb the stair, but he forces himself to kneel before the female nation instead. The korean cradles her head with too cold fingers and brings their heads close so that he can intensely search her lipid blue eyes for any sign of duplicity.
He can't find any and it breaks his heart.
"He's never going to take me home is he?"
Belarus lays an equally cold hand on his cheek, understanding what it felt like to have your eyes opened to an unfair truth.
"No. He isn't."
Korea goes left.
