° Heavenly Love ° (Taekook)

(pic credits- blossomkoo_ )

...*Th**e loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly*....

...---•---...

...Change, a rather important incident in one's life. Everyone,everything undergoes a change both intentionally and unintentionally. ...

...A huge change has taken place in Tae’s life and he is unable to deal with it. It’s strange, he had never found himself so confused or irritated over a swing of mood (?) or properly, a change. ...

...It’s all in his mind, a rather drifting thought or a phase that would pass soon....

...He looks towards the book in the table, the journalism of Modern world. It’s interesting, Tae always loved reading it. ...

...But this change is different, it’s frustrating and borderline depressing as well, he couldn’t figure out why this was happening to him. He couldn’t understand why suddenly he found every food in front of him bland..or why everything bored him.....

...A tiredness, a sense of boredom engulfs him increasing his frustration....

...A small change, or what Tae likes to believe is a ‘phase’ brought him where he stands today. Was this the answer? T has no idea why he stood alone in the railway station late at night....

...He couldn’t figure out how he somehow landed in the countryside where he grew up....

...^^^^^^^^^...

...‘Galaxy of stars’, that’s how Tae had once described Jk when they were teens. The older couldn’t help but smile as he found Jk looking at him, with his soul glowed in the eyes. ...

...“You can heal the dead, Jk! You have so much of life inside you”....

...Tae smiles as he recalls how Jk had giggled at those words, he could indeed heal the dead, maybe that’s why he is here today....

...Jk’s expression was almost comical, he looked as if he had seen a ghost. Body still, eyes wide as he stares at the older....

...“You are back”...

...Yes, Tae was back to the town, while his soul had lost its way somewhere.....

...“Yes, I am”...

...Jk had always loved nature, the silence and warmth of the countryside. Tae has seen Jk grow up enjoying, and dreaming. Dreams that were lot different than that of Tae’s...

...Maybe that’s why Jk ran a fruit stall, selling his fresh farm products while Tae is a journalist in the city. They both had their priorities set. Tae looks at the fresh grapes, grown with the sweat of hard work....

...“Would you welcome me with fresh farm fruits?”...

... Jk smiles, Tae is still silly, such a kid....

...“Welcome, with fresh seasonal grapes, if that’s what you want, old man!”...

...^^^^^^^...

...“You haven’t changed a bit, have you?”...

...The words catch Tae off guard, he hasn’t changed?...

...“I am sure I have changed, Jk..indeed a lot.”...

...Jk laughs at his words before he looks at him. ...

...“I mean, you are still a messy eater, nothing that serious. Are the city guys always this serious?”...

...Tae frowns as he looks at Jk, wiping off the juice on his mouth....

...“I grew up in the countryside, I am not one of those city guys , my heart still lies here.”...

...“Liar”, Jk smiles softly as he looks at the stars. “ You are a ‘city guy’ and you know that.”...

...^^^^^^^...

...One of the city people, Jk was right..T had indeed turned into a ‘city person’. He had worked days over a particular topic, determined to reach the top. He has turned into a robot, a rat in the race chasing success, wanting more....

...He has changed, He is no longer the old self. No longer the old Tae who had time for the younger....

...The person who was determined to get things done with time, reach the top earliest was late today..too late....

...“Am I too late? Did you miss me?”...

...Tae asked the younger one who nodded his head side to side, “ I hoped that you would be late, Tae. I just wanted you to enjoy your dreams .” ...

...“But I am happy now, I am with you, this is my dream.”...

...Jk smiles, a wide one while tears fill his eyes. It was him..It was really Tae, his Tae.. in front of him....

...“I missed you, I missed you so much Tae, wanted to see you, talk to you!” Jk doesn’t waste much time before he walks towards the older and hugs him. The hug felt familiar, comforting as warm as.. ‘home’....

...Tae understands the change that had been bothering him since the beginning, he understood the reason behind his hesitation when he couldn’t work. Most importantly, he understood why the hug felt so real, so warm unlike the once that he had imagined in his dreams....

... “I was right”, Tae speaks after he breaks the hug. “You can indeed heal the dead.”...

...Jk chuckles as he looks around, so does Tae. The scenery was beautiful, dreamy, all together wonderful. ...

...“It’s heaven, Tae..it’s meant to heal the dead.”...

...“It doesn’t matter, you are here with me now. The only heaven I have ever known is you, Kook”...

...And Tae wasn’t lying, it was always him. His heaven, his healer and his love....

...( For those who couldn’t get it-  Tae has been busy working on his career in the city and had no time to visit Jk in his hometown. He regrets when one day he heard the news of Jk’s d*eath and years later, he joins his love in heaven.)...
