[dae-su x reader] ; angst ; during apocalypse ; dae-su's singing, so kinda songfic?? : sfw
[summary] - [reader] has wanted to confess their love to dae-su for the longest time, though they knew he had loved the courageous ha-ri. [reader] wasn't strong, but they weren't as weak, either; they had lived most of their highschool life living in the shadows of ha-ri. once they had finally told dae-su their feelings, they felt a painful bite on their shoulder.
[content/trigger warning] - blood, cursing, physical affection, [reader] death
[k-drama] - all of us are dead
as the ember escaped the fire, the group bitter-sweetly sang dae-su's song; all the moments and memories still stored deep in their heart. their close friends had already left their grasp, resulting in the classmates to only rely on eachother.
"let's go once it's over,"
the melodic words had escaped dae-su's mouth.
"let's go anywhere,"
[reader] leaned their head onto dae-su's shoulder, closing their eyes; dae-su leaned his head onto the top of [reader]'s head.
"once we're studying 12 hours a day,"
[reader] let a soft smile emerge from their face, though it had stung a bit from the scratches and injuries on their cheeks. [reader] squeezed dae-su's hand and he continued singing.
"once the annoying sounds are over,"
[reader] lifted their eyelids, and turned to dae-su, only to be met with his, also. [reader] couldn't help but get lost in his kind eyes, the eyes they had grown to adore.
"let's go hand in hand,"
"let's not run,"
more voices had joined in with dae-su, only leaving a homey comfort in the [reader]'s heart.
"let's try walking slowly,"
"is that drool or sweat pooled on the book?"
"no one notices the plop, plop."
[reader] joined in as well,
"the plop, plop,"
"the falling rain drops,"
"what is boiling? simmer, simmer,"
[reader] swung their head to the rhythm of the music.
"it's mom's doenjang stew,"
"mm-hm, a bowl of instant noodles,"
"in front of the tv which plays nothing but static,"
"let's go anywhere together."
[reader] sat in a few minutes of silence, only to stand up. dae-su and a few others glanced at [reader] with a quizzled expression adorning on their faces.
"i wanna see the stars behind the mountains before i go to hell," [reader] chuckled. [reader] stepped away from the group and took a deep breath, they carefully sat on the edge of the roof. they miss ha-ri, even if they were jealous, they wouldn't mind it if they could see her again.
[reader] wouldn't mind if dae-su got with ha-ri, they wouldn't mind it they got married. [reader] just wanted everything to be normal, could it be normal? the thoughts flooded [reader]'s mind, distracting them from the situation that was going on.
they felt a hand tapping their shoulder, they turned to meet dae-su's face.
"hey, dae-su," [reader] began. dae-su let out a 'hm?'.
"dae-su, i really love you." [reader] confessed.
before dae-su could respond, [reader] felt a sharp hand pull them off the roof, and teeth sinking in on their shoulder. [reader] look towards dae-su as they let tears escape their eyes.
"[reader]! NO! S— STOP!" dae-su screamed. the others turned to dae-su and they sprinted towards the figure, gwi-nam.
"gwi-nam!" cheong-san gritted his teeth as he bit his tongue to stop tears from escaping.
gwi-nam threw [reader] back onto the roof, "that was just a warning bite, cheong-san. now give me your fucking eye!"
[reader] began gasping for air, "am i gonna die? dae-su? i wanna live.. i want to live!"
"[reader].. no.. no.." dae-su held [reader] into their arms. woo-jin let a tear slip, but turned to cheong-san to help him fight.
"i don't care if you love ha-ri, please.. i don't want to leave.." [reader] sobbed, gripping into dae-su's shoulders.
"[reader].. don't go.. i love you! only now.. only when you leave.. now i realize i do. don't leave me, please." dae-su bear-hugged [reader].
[reader] twitched, they felt the blood drip from their nose.
"i.. i have to.. i can't let you guys die.." [reader] cried.
[reader] pushed dae-su with all their might, and ran to the edge of the roof.
"please.. tell ha-ri i said goodbye." [reader] closed their eyes, and let themself fall.
"NO! NO! NO NO NO NO.." dae-su sprinted to the edge, attempting to grab your falling body, had gotten hold of your hand
[reader] looked up to dae-su, continously twitching. "dae-su.. live for me."
dae-su shook his head.
[reader] fought back the urge to bite dae-su.
"i'm so sorry."
[reader] smacked their head against dae-su's hand, allowing him to let go.
the classmates turned to what had just happened, nam-ra screaming at gwi-nam and gwi-nam trying to convince her to join his side. nam-ra threw him off, anger bubbling her body.
"dae-su.." woo-jin sadly looked to dae-su.
"[reader]..." dae-su sobbed.
