Someday (I Hate PLDT series 3)

This is written not because I was inspired, this was done to fill out a certain void in my life, hahaha. It's my fifth day without any link to the online world, I don't know up to when I can last. PLDT have mercy on me.



An hour after he went home, Kim Hyun Joong is still awake, he is allowed a few hours of break from his drama filming to take some much needed sleep, it is not conventional but he already learned to live with it. For the past two months, he has been working like a dog to get Playful Kiss rolling, he needed to give it his all as this is his first venture under his new management company and he really needs to prove something to himself, he needs to know if going into acting is really the right choice. He had always believe that an individual can do anything he puts his mind into, it has always been mind over matter for him, so during these tiring and trying times, though his body felt like breaking into pieces, he did all his tasks well, he is a professional after all. His body had learned to follow all the commands that his 4D brain sent, sleep when it's time to sleep, wake up when it's time to wake up, eat when it's time to eat, work when it's time to work, it is not an easy and enjoyable life but it is the life the he chose and so he stands by it.

But this night seems different, he had done his daily midnight routine of taking a short warm bath and without drying himself completely, plunged and sprawled himself on the bed, he should be sleeping soundly by now, refreshingly naked and soundly asleep... but that is not the case. It usually took him half an hour to do everything and be completely absorb in dreamland but an hour had already passed, something must be wrong. He twisted and turned, trying to get as comfortable as possible, thinking that it would lull him to sleep, but try as he might, something's just not right, his brain is sending unnecessary alert signals to his body which is not what it's supposed to do. Could this be a relapse, an insomnia attack, he hadn't had sleeping problems for a while now, and with the schedule he has it is no wonder... then, why now? He badly need to go to sleep, his body can only take so much and by now he knows that it is in agony, two to three hours of sleep a day is barely enough, but what to do, slumber just won't come.

Somebody once told him that sleeplessness occurs when someone dear is thinking of him... could it be? Could the one person he can't keep out of his mind every waking day of his life, since two years ago, be thinking of him, too? The chances of that happening could be slim but he can't stop himself from hoping, aside from his vivid memories, hope is all that he has left... that someday they will meet again, free and without a care.

They first met in 2005, SS501 just debuted at that time and part of their group promotion was attending variety shows, and the ace of variety shows at that time was Xman, she was a semi-regular of the TV program and he was mesmerized in an instant. She eludes of beauty incomparable to other celebrities, she doesn't look Korean at all, and she is the coolest of all the girls, heck she's even cooler than the other guys, maybe it was because of her confidence or she knows herself well that goofing off and doing crazy stuff didn't bother her at all. Everyone, young and old, adore her, she's the most perfect candidate for the best friend that you can ever have and wish for. She's that great, and in his young mind, a face for his ideal girl was painted. She was in a relationship at that time and she seemed happy so he was content on just admiring her silently, wishing that he someday be given a chance with her or he be able to find someone, at least half as ideal as her.

Three years after their first encounter, it was time to get up close and personal with her, his prayer was finally answered, he had his chance. Though, they see each other in various entertainment and celebrity events, he never got to talked to her up front so his nervousness and excitement on the first day that they were supposed to act as a fake couple in We Got Married was at the max. They had fun and he considers it as one of best work he has ever had the pleasure of doing, it is on the top five best memories of his life. They were awkward at the beginning, he attributed much of it to their theme as a couple, they were the older-younger one, so acting informal at the first meet was a no-no, but spending days with her, one can never resist to get close, she has this charm that he bets no man can ever resist, not that he ever planned on resisting.

It was said that only fools rush in, well, he's proud to be called a fool. Sadly, in their case, love was just not enough, it's not that they love each other less than those lovers who opt to stay together, it's their circumstances that lead them afar. If it was only up to him... he'll just curse at anyone who hinder their way, he doesn't care that much about norms and society anyways. But, as always, she's the practical and wise one, her being the wiser between the both of them is still a debate unsettled, and so they did what she thought was the best. And it was the end of the greatest love story the world could have ever known, base on his point of view anyway.

When they ended the show, they ended what could have been, but he hasn't fully given up yet, they still have a long road ahead of them, and he's lurking at the middle of the next intersection, that way he can cover all the path while waiting patiently. Detours are expected in a road trip, most of the time, those are the ones that makes the experience special; detours are also expected in life and those are what makes a person's life fuller and complete; they, Kim Hyun Joong and Hwangbo Hye Jung, are on a detour at the moment, but they will meet again, someday soon...


Note: The ending, I hope, wish and pray be a good, happy and fulfilling one.
