Photo - ONESHOT

Author’s Note:

I was listening to an FM radio station on my way to the office, listening to my once favorite song and got struck by a sudden plot. I am not sure if I would write this as a multi chaptered fiction but for now, I have decided to post it as a one shot first and see if people here would like to read more about it. The plot isn’t clear yet. It just struck me and inspired me to write it down.

Please give some love and comment. ^^ What can you say about it? Good? Bad? boring? clichéd? Average?

The sound of music from the television filled the room. Lights are out as the owner room does not want to see it on. She could not find herself to turn it on and see her miserable self. Her bed undone, clothes are everywhere and bottles of liquor surrounded the girl slumped on the floor.

She's resting her back at the side of her queen size bed leaning the side of her head on the bedside table. Her eyes closed but you could see that she had been crying if you see the evidence of swollen eyes. She opened her eyes and as soon as it fluttered, salty tears flow like a river. She reached out to take the one bottle beside her and took a swig while extending her left hand to grab the photograph displayed on her bedside table.

The singer continued her sweet serenade to the fans. On screen she's happily waving at them, giving sweet flying kisses. But all those scenes on the flat screen TV were unnoticed by the occupant of the room.

The girl collapsed once again as soon as she got the framed photo, still crying silently. The scene in the pad would have break thousands and thousands of hearts of the viewers if it's a movie scene. How she wished that this is just all  a scene in a movie. That there would always be a happy ending.

Not all movies ends with happily ever after, rather more of it ends with happily never after. And she bitterly smiled at teh thought of it. Of course her story is one of those classified as happily never after.

She gently traced the happy picture of the man sitting beside her at this particular shot. They were out dating without a care in the world. As she enjoys taking pictures, she took one with him. It took her forever to convince him to take a picture with her.

She traced his eyes, small but expressive, his nose, his lips... and...

She stopped and hugged the picture. Her shoulders shaking uncontrollably. Remembering the memories they have had together.

Memories...

Yes. And memories is all that's left to her. Those memories that tells her a thousand things. Happiness, sadness, togetherness, faithfulness, hope and love. so many but all just memories.

Memories that she sure messed up and ruined. If she could just turn back time and undo all the things that she had said... she had done...

The girl on the TV screen stopped singing and a loud applause were heard from the audience who were happy at the performance.

The scene now shows two figures, probably the emcees of the program. They were happily talking to each other,  about to announce the winner of Best Boy Group Award for this year's Music Award.

The owner of the room quickly scramble dto her feet falling helplessly back on the carpeted floor. She's too drunk to even stay on her feet. So she just crawled towards the big TV screen, still clutching the photographed near her heart.

"Please let them win, let him win..." she prayed. The program showed the nominees waiting anxiously for the announcement of the winner and her eyes searched for his familiar face.

And there she saw his group. They are playing around. They have always been so carefree, They don't care about these awards. He always tells her before that he creates music for people who loves music, for his fans, for his family and for his friends and not to get awards. But of course, if you do your best for the people around you, giving them the best of the best and showing how important they are to you, you would always be chosen as one of the bests, one the people who is worthy of recieving prestigious awards.

"....Big Bang!" the emcee announced. She smiled, her eyes never leaving the leader of the band.

"They won... He won... Thank you..."

The camera man must have been happy torturing her as the he zoomed it to focus only at him. He's wearing sunglasses so she could not see his eyes.

"Thank you." he started. "Thank you so much for believing in us. For giiving us strength to continue amidst the scandal and trials. Thank you for waiting for us. Thank you to all of you. To the VIPs all over the world. You truly are the most important people in Big Bang's life. Words are not enough to describe how much gratitude we have for standing beside us throught it all. To YG-sunbae-nim and other YG artists who supported and cheered us up. And..." he hesitated. "A-and.." his voice cracked. The young bae pat him. T.O.P whispered something to him. Jiyong smiled and continued, "And T.O.P here wanted to thank you too." he stepped aside and let T.O.P take over the speech.

She coudl not see him anymore. T.O.P and teh other members were blocking him from the camera.

"Sorry..." Dara mumbled, and took a swig once more. "Sorry, ji..." But he could not hear her anymore. Everything they had are now memories, trapped in photos.

How she wish she could still have one more shot... one last shot... with him...

"I am sorry."
