Whispers Of Regret | Hyunlix

Espoir - Hope

La distance entre nous est comme un océan sans fin, et chaque jour qui passe me rappelle à quel point tu me manques.

Translation: " The distance between us is like an endless ocean, and every passing day reminds me of how much I miss you"

In the hazy glow of morning light, the younger one stirred, his eyelids heavy as he reluctantly blinked them open. His gaze wandered, landing in the unfamiliar room around him. Confusion clouded his mind. It took a moment for his groggy mind to catch up, but when it did, he sat up abruptly, a dull throbbing pulsing through his head, matching the ache in his soul.

He reached up, his hand trembling slightly as he pressed it against his forehead, trying to alleviate the pain that pulsed through him. The room felt suffocating, the walls closing in on him, trapping him in a space that felt foreign.

But amidst the confusion and the pain, there was a scent-a scent wafting through the air like a comforting embrace, that stirred memories of times, of laughter and warmth. The scent of chocolate, a fragrance he once adored, now serving as a painful reminder of what once was.

With a heavy sigh, he swung his legs over the edge of the bed, his movements sluggish and heavy. Each step felt like a burden, each breath a struggle against the weight of his pain. He didn't linger in the room, unable to bear the suffocating atmosphere any longer.

Slowly, he made his way out, his heart heavy with longing for the comfort of familiar surroundings. Each footsteps echoed with the emptiness that gnawed at him from within. And as he retreated to his own room, he couldn't shake the feeling of loneliness that clung to him like a shroud.

The water cascaded over his tender skin, its warmth failing to penetrate the icy grip of pain clutching at his heart. Memories of yesterday's confrontation with Hyunjin flooded his mind, mingling with the haunting echoes of their shattered love from eight years ago. Each drop of water felt like a reminder of the tears shed and the pain endured.

With a sharp intake of breath, he attempted to quiet the storm of thoughts raging within him, his eyes tingling with tears threatening to spill. Fiercely wiping them away, he shut off the shower, the silence of the room only amplifying the deafening noise of his thoughts. Wrapping himself in a bathrobe, he began to dry his hair.

The sound of freshly cut vegetables hitting the hot sizzling oil filled the air, accompanied by the clinking of utensils. The older stirred the vegetables in the pan, his movements precise. The delicious aroma wafted throughout the kitchen, tempting anyone within range.

The ravenette remained focused on preparing the meal, oblivious to the approaching footsteps.

The younger's eyes widened at the sight of the table filled with an array of dishes, each one exuding its own tantalizing scent. With a curious tilt of his head, he looked around, taking in the sight of the older stirring vegetables with ease while simultaneously tending to a pot of simmering ramen on the adjacent stove.

Curiously, he shrugged and strolled over to the refrigerator, his mind drifting in a haze of thoughts. With a sigh, he reached for a drink, the coldness of the can a stark contrast to the warmth of the room.
