KyuMin: Telephone (#4)

My chaptered fic is depressing me (not in its content, but in my lack of satisfaction in what I've written), so I guess I'll write oneshots for now.

The lack of description was on purpose. I swear it wasn't me being lazy. It's an unconventional writing style, and I'd only employ it for effect in a one-shot... since description happens to be my friend most of the time.


Title:
Telephone (#4)
Word Count: 1883
Rating: G?
Started/Finished: 12.13.09 / 12.13.09
Music Muse: Super Junior, "Good luck!!" (BUT THE CHIPMUNK VERSION OMG)
Description: By the time he saw it coming, it was already much too late.

Telephone

"Hyung?"

"Ah, Kyu... I didn't wake you, did I?"

"No, not at all."

"You're lying to me."

"...ah, you caught me. Sorry...."

...

"So why did you call, Sungminnie?"

"I just wanted to hear your voice again. It's been a while. Korea's lonely without you."

"Ah, Sungminnie, did you know Korea's population is --"

"--you know what I mean! I miss you~! Do you know when you all get to come back?"

"No, Hankyung doesn't know. We still have a few more shows, and then there's all the promotional stuff, so...."

"Oh, I see. Try to make it back soon, all right? I'll be waiting."

"I'll try. But ah, Sungminnie, as you guessed, you caught me sleeping. I'm gonna go back now, ya? I love you."

"You stole my line, Kyu~! Try to call every now and then, ya?"

"Yeah...."



"Hyung?"

"Ah, Kyu... I didn't wake you, did I?"

"No, not at all."

"You're lying to me."

"...ah, you caught me. Sorry...."

"You need to stop lying, Kyu!"

"I just don't want to worry you, that's all."

...

"So why did you call, Sungminnie?"

"I just wanted to hear your voice again. You never call me, so I've been lonely. Is your schedule that busy?"

"Ah, yeah... the other day we appeared on a television show in Beijing. I choked up on my Mandarin, and I probably made a fool out of myself."

"Your Mandarin's better than mine! I'm sure it wasn't that bad."

"Yeah, but when standing next to Hankyung and Mimi, I look uneducated."

"Mimi?"

"Zhou Mi, we all call him that here. I thought everyone did."

"I guess, I might've just forgotten. I mean, it's late."

"Yeah, it is.... Do you mind if I go back to sleep? I'll call you back next chance I get, promise."

"Fine, fine. You better call me though. I love you, Kyu~!"

"Yeah...."



"Hyung?"

"Ah, Kyu... I didn't wake you, did I?"

"Yeah, you did."

"No I didn't."

"...ah, I guess I've never been any good at lying."

...

"So why did you call, Sungminnie?"

"I just wanted to hear your voice. You know, you never called me like you said you would!"

"...I was busy, sorry. Schedule's been sorta rough."

"But Wookie called Yesung the other day and they talked for hours! Heechul was spazzing because Hankyung wouldn't stop talking to him in Mandarin over the phone. And Donghae even managed to call both Kibum-ah and Hyukkie yesterday!"

...

"But ah, sorry Kyu, I guess they all have their own schedules. I miss you, you know. The distance kills me."

"Ah, Sungminnie, you know that China and Korea are actually not that --"

"--you know what I mean! I can't walk over to China or anything!"

...

"Do you know when you come back, yet?"

"Hyung, you asked less than a week ago! I don't really know, sorry. Ah, do you mind if I leave our conversation here?"

"You're not going to sleep, are you? I made sure to call earlier."

"No, ah, it's just... dinner."

"Oh... right. Call back sometime, all right? I love you, Kyu."

"Yeah...."



"Hyung?"

"Ah, Kyu... I didn't wake you, did I?"

"No, not at all."

"You're lying to me."

"Actually, I wasn't."

"Really? But the sun's only just rising here, it was the only time I could call you. Why are you up so early?"

"Stuff to do."

"Ah, all right."

...

"I guess you're awake but not really awake. You want me to call back?"

"Please."

"All right, I will. Love you, Kyu."

"Yeah...."



"Hyung?"

"Ah, Kyu... I didn't wake you, did I?"

"Yeah, you did."

"Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. It was the weekend and all so I figured maybe you'd be awake by now....."

"Actually hyung, I wasn't sleeping, don't worry about it."

"You really need to stop lying, Kyu. It's not going to get you anywhere in the end."

"Yeah, I know... about that...."

...

"So hyung, how was your day?"

"It's all right, I haven't had to do anything yet. Hyukkie and I are probably going out in a bit, do something with the small amount of peace we have."

"Should I be worried?"

"Hardly. You know I love you, Kyu~"

...

"Ah... Kyuhyun, can I ask you a question?"

"Yeah."

"How come you never call? Everyone else calls, you know. Not often, of course, but I mean... definitely more than you have."

"I've... been busy."

"Ah, really? But Heechul says that Hankyung sees you all the time sitting around with Zhou Mi in your free time. He says it's pretty often, too. Is it hard to make a five minute call to touch base? I'm dying over here, you know...."

...

"Ah, but I guess I'm just being a little demanding, right? Sorry, Kyu. The distance is just killing me, that's all. Do whatever you need to do, yah?"

"Hyung...."

"But try to call when you can, all right? I miss hearing your voice. Sometimes I feel like I forget what you look like. It's so stupid of me... it's only been... a month...."

"Hyung...."

"But I won't keep you waiting, I guess. Call back soon, yah? I love you, Kyu."

"Hyung... I need to...."

...

"...ah, it's nothing. I'll call you back."



"Hyung?"

"Ah, Kyu... I didn't wake you, did I?"

"Sorta, I was just napping. And sorry for not calling you back --"

"It's okay, I'm used to it now."

"...sorry."

...

"How was your day, hyung?"

"Tiring. Yours?"

"Same."

"I see."

...

"Kyu... is there something you need to tell me?"

...

"I'm not saying there is, but... if you had something important to tell me you'd say it right? I know you said you don't want me to worry or anything, but... you would still tell me, right?"

...

"Kyu?"

"I don't know, hyung. I guess it would depend. Worrying is one thing, but hurting is another."

"So if you knew something that would hurt me, you wouldn't tell me?"

"I... I don't know, hyung. If I had to I would. But I wouldn't want to be the one to hurt you."

"Even if it had nothing to do with you?"

...

"Ah, sorry, I guess I'm getting carried away. That's not the only reason why I called, I promise."

"It's fine, hyung. Uhm, maybe you could text me about it? I was sorta in the middle of something when you called. I'll call you back."

"No you won't."

...

"Sorry, I shouldn't have snapped. But you never call back."

"Hyung...."

"I'll call you later. And I love you, Kyu."

"Yeah...."



"Hyung?"

"Ah, Kyu... I didn't wake you, did I?"

"No, not at all."

"You're lying to me."

"...ah, you caught me again. Sorry...."

...

"So why did you call?"

"I just wanted to hear your voice again. And... well...."

"Hyung?"

"Kyu, I only just noticed... but why have you been calling me hyung recently?"

"I've always called you hyung."

"But you used to call me other things, too. It feels... weird. Did something happen?"

...

"Never mind, I guess I shouldn't ask. You have your reasons."

"Hyung... I should tell you something."

"Then tell me, Kyu. Please."

"I... it's nothing."

"Kyuhyun. Tell me."

"I... can't. I'm sorry, hyung. I don't want to hurt you."

"Kyu, you're hurting me by not telling me. Please, tell me?"

"Worrying isn't the same as hurting, remember? I'll... tell you later. Not now. Sorry, hyung... please trust me."

...



Please leave your recording after the beep.

Beep.

"Kyu, I guess you must've really been sleeping this time. I just called to say I'm sorry for earlier. I shouldn't pry in affairs that aren't in my reach, right? But you really do worry me, and the fact that you know something that might hurt me is... well, worrying me. Is it something I should worry about? At least tell me who it's about?

"It might be a lot to ask, but could I ask you call me back? Today wasn't that great of a day and I want someone to talk to. Plus, I miss your voice. Anyway, I'll leave you alone. I hope everyone there is doing well. Say hello to everyone for me when you get the chance, all right?"



Please leave your recording after the beep.

Beep.

"Kyu, I guess you must be busy today. Sorry for calling at a bad time. But Hyukkie was saying that you guys are coming back this week! I got excited and wanted to confirm it with you, but... I guess I caught you at a bad time.

"Call me back, please? I love you, Kyu."



Please leave your recording after the beep.

Beep.

"Kyu... Heechul was saying something the other day... I didn't want to believe it, but... I don't know. Maybe it's the same thing you've been trying to tell me all this time?

"I'm not angry with you, I promise. But... call me back. all right? We should probably talk."



Please leave your recording after the beep.

Beep.

"Kyu... am I doing something wrong?"



Please leave your recording after the beep.

Beep.

"Kyuhyun-ah, Ryeowook called me the other day and told me. I guess this is going to be the last voice message I'll leave on your phone, since I know there's no reason for me to keep doing so.

"I don't understand why you couldn't just tell me. Because you didn't want to hurt me? I don't believe it. I'm not sure what hurts more, the action itself or that you wouldn't tell me.

"I waited for you, Kyuhyun. I don't understand where I went wrong. If my calls were annoying, you should've just told me. If you couldn't deal with the distance as much as I couldn't, then you should've just said so. I thought we were both in this together--and I held out for you! But....

"There's still lots I don't understand, but I guess you not telling me anything means I was never meant to understand any of it. I'm sorry I couldn't provide for you, but it wasn't going to be forever.... I mean, you're coming home now. If you had held out a little longer, maybe things would have been fine.

"...I'm sorry I didn't notice things sooner, so that I could fix them. I hope you're happy with him though. Really, I do. Whatever makes you happy, right? But I don't think I'll be able to meet you two and the others at the airport tomorrow. Please understand.

"I'm not sure if there's anything else I want to say to you. Maybe I'll be like you and keep things to myself. I'm just sorry things went this way, sorry that I couldn't change things sooner. I don't regret any of it, though. But you better not put him through this too, all right?--especially if you stray from Super Junior M and we all go back to work on a fourth album. Because... haha... well, you'll have two men wanting your head chopped off.

"Ah, but I guess I was never good at humor like you were. Like I said, I hope you're happy. I'll catch up with you another time, all right?"



Please leave your recording after the beep.

Beep.

"Hyung...? I'm... I'm sorry."

  1. This is a very hard style to pull off (I know, I've tried) but I think you managed it. You added enough description in the conversation to get away with not having any description outside of it, which was definitely good. I still totally knew what was going on, even without any outside story-telling.
    I like the way the conversation seems to repeat itself, with subtle little differences that seem to show the (for lack of a better word) downfall that their relationship is going through. And I feel so sorry for Sungmin (again :( )
    (But dare I hope... Kyuhyun and Zhou Mi? :DDD)

  2. Broken Kyumin TT^TT
    Yeah, it only consists of dialogs but it's so well written ~~ the whole fic is amazing ><
    I really do love your angst fics haha, write more~ :]

    ReplyDelete
  3. I'm going to reply to both of you at the same time. HOW DID YOU FIND THIS BEFORE I EVEN POSTED IT ON THE LJ COMM?

    *is very impressed*

    @Cho-min, the repetition yet not repetition was the whole drive of this story, so that readers can see where things changed (and where sungmin failed to notice).

    @fanmin so NOW i know what broken (couple) means. I should probably use that terminology more often. I'm going to use that now... and I'm glad you like my angst o.O

    ReplyDelete
  4. wow. there are only a few people who can actually pull off fics without descriptions.
    i think this concept is good coz there are times that descriptions tend to get a bit dragging.
    i usually skip the descriptions and read the conversations when i dont really like the feel of the story.

    gawd. i dont think it was sungmin's fault that they broke up. it's sad that he thinks that he's lacking something because he couldnt satisfy kyuhyun. i feel sorry for him.

    will be looking forward to more of your updates!
    i love how fast you post your fanfiction.

    ReplyDelete
  5. @yum gums Ah thanks~! Yeah, actually, one of the reasons I wrote this was because I felt like my descriptions in my chaptered fic were bringing down the story.... so i wrote a story in which I didn't use ANY.

    (and the only non-conversational pieces were those made by the answering machine, hahaha).

    And i only post fast because I'm on break. Next semester don't expect so much from me =(

  6. ...............!!!

    I LOVE it!

    "Kyu... am I doing something wrong?" SLAYS.

    >.< Ah, poor Sungminnie~ Will he get anyone?

    But on another tangent, major SQUEE-ing for Donghae with Kibum and Hyukkie~

    Happy Writings!

  7. @Anonymous I LOVE YOUR COMMENT! thanks for taking the time to comment! And yeah, poor sungminnie... i really need to lay him off angst for a while T_T

    ReplyDelete
  8. Wow... I'm totally amazed by your 'venting'. If I could write half as decent while concentrating compared to your venting.

    The style you adapted is very unique, and it works REALLY well with your story because it merely highlighted the platonics of the plot, which parallel the platonic relationship btwn Kyumin, and it worked beautifully.

    I almost wanted to cry for Sungmin because that feeling hurts alot, it seemed so real and it came across very effectively in the latter parts with the message. I'm being very incoherent here... yeahh...

    I love you, but I hate you for writting such broken Kyumin... so I don't know what to say... except Kangin can comfort Minnie now <3

    So... in conclusion. I LOVE YOU<3

  9. @dandanfung bahhhh I'm so sorry, I really need to give Sungmin a break with the angst. Or maybe make Kyuhyun suffer for once >_> But I'm glad in the end you liked it (I think? the hearts make my doubt less, lol).

    I in turn love you for taking the time to comment <3

    ReplyDelete
  10. I hate you ;_________;
    I'm really mad at you and, dammit, I haven't cried that bad in years, wtf.
    /stalks page for next chapter
    So was at QMi or KyuWook? :D
    I'm going to my friend's house after this and they'll be like YTF ARE YOU ALL TEARY /RAGERAGERAGE

    Why are you so awesome at writing ;____;

  11. OHMYGOSH MY HEART IS LIKE < /// 3
    You write so well, wtf. :|
    Broken Kyumin makes me cry but not like this much. :|

    ReplyDelete
  12. I happened to be replying to your replies at the time, and I went back to the master post, and there it was, all shiny and new, so I couldn't not read it, and then I couldn't not comment on it, and that's how I was so magically fast.
    Also, double reply in one post is very impressive :P

    ReplyDelete
  13. Curses, sleep... I didn't even sleep properly and you still manage to wind up so many comments in my wake...

    @jess(andherviolin) OH NO I DIDN'T MEAN TO MAKE YOU HATE ME / CRY bahhhh I feel bad. I'll write a happier one for you... when I have time. What pairing do you like? If you ever come back to read this... lol.

    @vivalapaparazzi GAH I should stop writing angst, I keep murdering people without meaning to =( But uhm, I have super glue if you want to put your heart back together... <3 (I apologize for making you cry)

    (I swear there were more.... stupid no contacts and miscounting)

    @cho-min I'm impressed with your sense of timing, then. But that still leaves one person's ninja skills unquestioned... I should ask her about it later. BUT WAHHH ITS MAKING EVERYONE CRY IT MAKES ME FEEL BAD.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Aww, don't you start too :P Then we'll all just be crying, and that's not much of a party... yes, this is officially a party now. I've just decided it.
    At any rate, I'm not sure making people cry in this context is such a bad thing. I'm pretty sure it's one of the main reasons people even read angst in the first place :P So don't feel bad; you just allowed people the emotion they wanted (except for that one who says she/he hates you...? they might not be 100% happy about it :P)

  15. YEWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON FTW !

  16. @jess(andherviolin) yewon, bwa? o.O

    and hahahahaah, the thought makes me happy, but don't force yourself to write 1000 fics or anything like that~! Even for me, that would take like half my lifetime ><
