***
The morning rises with Seokmin while Jihoon nurses yesterday's hangover in bed till noon today.
Or so Jihoon believes to be true. Seokmin isn't here anymore for Jihoon to keep track of his movements. Yesterday's whiskey has already sent him where Jihoon could never yearn to follow: away.
Jihoon knows it was only a matter of time before the fairy tale holiday romance nectar started rotting their teeth and ruining the lining of their stomach. Pulling the plug before they were in the thick of it saved both of them a world's worth of delusion and hurt.
If painting himself the villain was the only way to get Seokmin to leave, for his own good, then so be it.
It's not you it's me--
I'm begging you baby, please.
If the sunlight fit itself over the canvas of Seokmin's face like it was a part of his own skin, the LEDs of Jihoon's studio shaped themselves into the world's most ill-painted portrait, making a caricature of the most beautiful man to ever grace these halls.
Seokmin begged to be let into Jihoon's inner world and Jihoon loathed his own filth bleeding into the inviting spaces of Seokmin's open heart.
It had been acceptable to let their bodies embrace each other on the beaches of Thailand, every day an alien stretch of time that tied neither of them to anything but their obvious desire to touch and be touched in turn.
But Seoul throws under a microscope what Jihoon had already gained cognisance of back then--there is no space for Lee Seokmin, golden-tongued poster boy of the local theaters, inside Jihoon's dingy rat-infested studio; nor is there any room for him in the unimpeded, arrhythmic wreck that is Jihoon's life.
We were never meant to be.
Are you even listening to me?
Still, it takes Jihoon longer than he'd like to shake free of Seokmin.
Turns out love can be quite easy to get used to, even when you're convinced of its failure from the very first step you take towards it.
And Jihoon loves Seokmin much more than he thought he was capable of loving anything.
But every open-mouthed kiss is a saccharine reminder of who he casts into shadow with every late night call he reels them into--every endearment dripping from Seokmin's lips encased in coffee-stained venom that Jihoon himself has put there.
Jihoon loves Seokmin more than he's loved anything but it's still less than what Seokmin deserves.
Laced with Jihoon's spit, even tenderness tastes bitter and goodbye's never been much of a sweet fruit anyway.
Perhaps that's why Seokmin's eyes are so dry at their parting, unlike what Jihoon has come to expect from him.
Smile because it happened--
--you'll cry every time you remember it's over.

Don't do this hyung.
Whatever bullshit justification you've given yourself, just throw it away.
Friday, 8:15 a.m.
Hyung.
HYUNG.
Friday, 9:37 p.m.
Goddammit.
You're a fucking idiot, Lee Jihoon.
