We Met by Chance [ One Shot Fic]

we met by chance

We met by chance along this road

Even now I can’t forget, ever since that day

この街で めぐりあった

今も忘れないよ あの日から

The first time you met him, he was a black-haired, unapproachable beauty. His voice soared, crystal clear, flying far above the clouds.

His song ended abruptly, that voice cut off and you gaze at him, embarrassingly aware that he is aware of your eyes fixed unmoving on him.

He smiles a ghost of a smile and his eyes flicker. Your eyes wander over his pale porcelain skin, soft rose-petal lips and settle on eyes that drown you in their depths.

You cough deliberately, snapping out of your reverie and stepping into the recording booth after him, ever-so-carefully avoiding his touch.

A deep breath, relax. And just sing.

You focus on the music, letting it flow through your veins like it always has and weaving emotion raw into your voice. Closing your eyes, the passion sweeps slowly through your soul and spreads its wings.

When you open your eyes, he looks at you with that glimmer in his eyes and stands up to leave, but not before extending a hand - "Kim Jaejoong."

A timid smile spreads across your face and you take his hand gently, as if it could shatter if you shook it too hard. You try to respond but all that comes out of your mouth is a shy squeak and you flush pink.

He seems like he's going to laugh, but his face just glitters with amusement and he nods to you, brushing past to exit.

He has always seemed an otherworldly being.

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

Much of the sorrow and anxiety I held

Everything had been changed

Through the warmth of your memories

たくさんの悲しみとか

潜んだ不安 全てを

君の ぬくもりで思い出に変えた

You stand on the stage with four of the most important people in your life, looking down and a sea of fans cheering you on.

The music starts and the fans quiet; the five of you exchange glances and face the crowd.

A deep breath, relax. And just sing.

Jaejoong's voice, sweet and soft, immerses your senses in bliss.

When the chorus comes around, you face him and sing out your heart, and you think you catch a glimpse of forever. His voice seeps through your skin and sinks into you, intertwines into a perfect harmony with yours, raw beauty and sweet purity all at once.

When the song ends, you are in tears, trailing down your face and you hope, you wish that this could be forever.

You like to believe that with every day he's more there, warmer, more alive -- But Jaejoong has always been beyond your reach.

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

If you're here beside me

Even the depths of my heart

Would be comfortable with this gentle feeling

Even if violent rain falls down

And strong winds blow about

君がそばに居てくれたら

心の奥まで優しい

気持ちになれる 激しい

雨が降っても 強い風が吹く中でも

He sits beside you, silent and pale as a ghost on the shore of the Han River. The night air pulls and tugs at silken strands of his hair, and those doe-eyes are lost somewhere in the distance.

You hug your knees close to your chest, and sit a little closer, sharing your warmth. He takes your hand, almost subconsciously, and your fingers lace through his, just a simple i'll be here.

He looks at you then, a mixture of something you don't know - and perhaps don't quite want to know - brewing in the ebony depths of his gaze.

"Sing with me?"

You look at him in surprise, left speechless, but you nod in assent, okay.

He leans against you, humming out softly and you count, three notes down and harmonize.

A deep breath, relax. And just sing.

It is a song without words, without thought. You are content just to hear his voice with yours, an assurance of his presence.

Because you don't know if he'll be there the next morning.

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

If we're together we can surely overcome all

Could I have thought like that at first?

So I don’t let go of this hand

I'll always gaze carefully at time

君とならきっと 越えられる

初めてそう思えたから

この手を放さないように ずっと

大切に大切にして

His skin is translucent, you think, as you cling feebly to his hand. The room around you is white on white on white, metal and equipment and the steady beep keeping time.

You lay your head beside his shoulder - white sheets on white skin - tears, threatening to escape but he sighs, strokes your hair and you break inside because you knew all along, it couldn't be forever.

"Youngwoong-hyung.."

"Please - don't."

You look at him, apology written clear across your eyes. "Jaejoong-ah."

He smiles, cocks his head slightly to the side, a questioning glance. "What is it?"

"Sing with me?"

His lips tremble before he sings a familiar tune under his breath, lifting your chin and smiling, smiling because he wants you to be happy and you realize he's become your sky and your wings are broken, you're falling, falling, falling.

But he keeps singing, pleading with his voice and when it falters, you look him in the eye.

A deep breath, push the tears back. And just sing.

You are supporting him now, roles are reversed, and Jaejoong seems so human.

White coat, white hair, he comes in, shakes his head - "Stay with him, because he may not be here the next morning."

And you suddenly realize, Jaejoong is just all too real.

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

We met by chance along this road

Even now I can’t forget, ever since that day

Things that live on, things that I believe in

この街で めぐりあった

今も忘れないよ あの日から

生きること 信じること

You stare at his face: pale, porcelain, beautiful. Emotionless. Cold. You say nothing, standing in line with the other four, hands joined and a space left in the middle. Waiting for them to be five again but that will never happen.

You step forward, reach a hand as if you want to touch - to feel, just one more time. But your hand stops and you turn away, a single tear tracing a path down your cheek.

Your wings are gone and you will always miss your sky. But perhaps - perhaps you will meet again in your next life.

Please, let's.

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

 

While changing towards happiness,

We’d both walk along together.

悦びに変えながら いつま

でも二人 共に歩こう

You sing under your breath like you used to when he was still there.

And you let the lyrics roll off your tongue. And they seem so long ago.

Forever? No - no, you don't think so. No, he was never real enough.

This is actually inspired by the "PROUD" performance of the boys..
watch it closely and you know who's talking here.
It's actually "Brotherly Love" 

Maybe I'll feel the same with the speaker there.

It's just too much losing someone like this fallen angel.XD JJ.Rocks
