We're ...friends?

We're ...friends?

One evening in early spring ...four years ago

"Hi, my name is Hak-yeon, Cha Hak-yeon," Hak-yeon greeted his new friend. With a cute, bright smile

"...Hi..my name is Jung Taekwoon." The new person greeted him briefly with a calm expression that didn't show any emotion.

[Hakyeon

said] 

For the past seven years of my life I lived my life without knowing. I don't have any memories of my past life...such as who am I? Where did it come from? family? Who are your parents and relatives? ...I don't know. I have no memory of any of this.

I just remember I woke up in my dark bedroom in this apartment. In the middle of the night, heavy rain fell.

'I woke up with emptiness'

I know my name from documents and my ID card. The empty space is on the book table in front of the computer.

those documents Said I was a first-year student at the university.

xxx 

Name Cha Hakyeon, 18 years old, birthplace not specified. Nationality not specified No other additional information was specified.

But besides those documents There was also a passbook in my name attached to those documents. By that passbook There is a fairly large amount of current deposit balance. But if I really want to say it, The amount of money in there is enough.

That will allow me to live my life now and in the future comfortably without having to work at all.

That's all the information about me. ...that I got to know after I woke up to emptiness ...There really is only that.

But what's even more strange is that Even though everything seems mysterious and full of suspicion....

But I, at that time And in the present now No matter what time I, this person, never had any feelings of doubt. Or do you want to know anything more about yourself than that?

Why?

Why have I never thought of wanting to know my true self?

Or it might be because Every time I started to feel the urge to get to know myself...a very painful feeling came into my head every time. When I try to remember it

Apart from that excruciating pain, I've never seen any of my old memories from the past come up. Sigh... since that's the case. Then I probably don't need it. What pain and suffering must I endure? With what? I myself will never remember it. ...wasting time

Because of that So I continued to live my new life. Without thinking about anything With that empty past again

I live here Starting from scratch...I live a lonely life, all alone. As I hardly spoke, didn't talk, didn't hang out with anyone at all. During the first several months of my new life

Until one day in early spring four years ago

It was the first day, the day I made my first friend. In my new life

His name is Jung Taekwoon. He is a man with a personality of few words. quite cold And everyone always says that he is a tiger who smiles hard. Because Taekwoon is a person who doesn't show much emotion to anyone. He therefore appears to be a person who is difficult for anyone to reach. ...but at least Taekwoon's life isn't empty yet.

Because he has a whole family, an older sister and friends with whom he has been close since childhood.

Not like me Where life is nothing but emptiness and loneliness

I don't have anyone that I can call a friend.

I don't have anyone that I can call family...in my daily life. You will meet many people.

But I still live like that Living day to day by myself I refuse to depend on anyone.

Because the way it is...it's pretty okay for me.

Even though I have to be alone In a prosperous urban society and filled with many different people

Every day I still walk around, come and go, and do things alone like that. I didn't feel that it was strange...

Even though I was standing in a place where there were only people in groups, They came together as a pair. And it might look like me standing there Just one person And other people probably think that I'm lonely...but I'm okay with that...even if there are some. When I feel lonely...but that's okay. I can live with it. I don't mind.

Even though I look like a person who doesn't care about anything and difficult to reach...but I'm not someone who has a dull mind like that. If someone comes in and asks Or do you need any help from me? If it's not beyond my abilities. I'm happy and ready to help with everything.

Because I'm a bit too sensitive. So it made me have limitations. There are conditions in every matter. And because I'm like this So I like to keep to myself. I don't like having anything to do with anyone, so I never had friends. There was never a single person I was close to.

I have a feeling of fear. I was afraid of getting to know other people. I was afraid of disappointment, regret, I was afraid...so I didn't dare open my heart to anyone.

Because I'm really afraid of those feelings. So I had to choose to live alone. Alone with emptiness and the loneliness that I'm accustomed to It's better than having to risk something...that I don't want to encounter.

But for Jung Taekwoon He is a caveat. is the exception to everything...for me, because having him become a part of my very empty life It's something I can't deny. Because it's only the first second that he stood in front of My feelings that used to be indifferent to meeting other people It suddenly changed.

Just seeing Taekwoon's calm face on the first day we met. It's unbelievable that He will be able to make me feel...a feeling that I start to want to get to know. Want to get close and want to have him as my first friend

If you were to ask how the two of us met? I don't really know the origins of this. Because the only thing that brought me and Taekwoon together was 'Anonymous letter'

It was a letter from someone sent to me. one evening with the contents of that letter It was written in black ink that...

'To Mr. Cha Hakyeon When the dawn of a new morning arrives

One chosen person will come to visit.

Please welcome and take care of one another.'

Jung Taekwoon is an annoying person. ...especially...with Cha Hakyun

Sigh...but I know that What is the cause of it? That annoys Taekwoon to me.

Because I like to talk a lot when I'm with Taekwoon. Because I like to go and play with him, I like to interfere and act like I'm clinging to him until he gets annoyed..yeah. That's about it.

Sigh...what can I do? Well, I only have one person in my life. Who is my friend, my roommate, and the only person I trust.

Well...you can say I'm strange. Because I like seeing Taekwoon frown. Scowling when I'm teased...it's cute. Taekwoon's reaction When I was teased, I grabbed him, hugged him, clung to him, messed with him. ...I like seeing Taekwoon make that face. It's cute [very annoying].

Um...I know. I know how much he dislikes and annoys me. When I did that to him, no matter how annoyed Taekwoon was with me, But he still tolerated it and allowed me to do it....which I thought 'Ah... Taekwoon must feel sorry for me?' So he agreed to let me do that.

Um...I'm just guessing. Honestly, about Taekwoon's true thoughts and feelings...I don't know.

But what I think He accepted me because he felt sorry for me, because he knew that I never had any friends... or anyone besides him, so... it made me addicted to him. No matter what you do, wherever you go, whenever...I will be with you. Follow him all the time. ...Probably like that. out of pity

Taekwoon allowed me to be close to him until this day.

At the basketball court one evening

“Hey Leo, Hyung's wife has come to pick you up. Over there...hey!”

Phew wow tung ng ng !

Taekwoon throws an orange basketball. He held it in his hand and punched Hong Bin with all his might. But luckily, Hong Bin knew first. So he hurriedly jumped out of the way of the basketball coming at him very hard.

“You want to die, Lee Hong Bin?” Taekwoon suppressed his voice. His hair was slicked back in the air of someone who was controlling his anger.

“Whoa, don't be so serious. I'm just joking, hyung.” Hongbin kept his distance. Keep yourself at the safest distance from Leo.

“Huh! Please watch your mouth. If you don't want to bleed...just remember this. Don't say anything like this again. Because me and that guy, we're just friends!”

Taekwoon said in an angry voice. Ready to send sharp eyes That's extremely frightening. Go warn Hong Bin for daring to tease him like that.

Then, Taekwoon walked out of the basketball court, swinging his fists. Immediately walked away to the shower room and changed into basketball court clothes. without bothering to speak What would you say to anyone on the field?

But it is like this Every time that's it. When someone does something that makes Taekwoon angry. Or that a bad mood came up When he was playing basketball like that Taekwoon would often walk away to quell his irritation. By taking a shower to cool the water It helps relieve the heat from the fire.

that it's raging inside to cool it down... like that every time

“Hi, N-hyung.” Hong Bin walked over to greet the cute person. who always comes to sit and wait for the fierce and hot-tempered senior [Leo] in the stands here every day. Leo-hyung came to play basketball.

“Hello, Hong Bin. ..This is Hong Bin's.” N-hyung is always like this. Whenever he comes here, N-hyung always buys me a sports drink. [After we got to know each other and started We're already close.]

“Ah, I feel so considerate. Sigh..but I will accept it willingly.” Hong Bin said, sounding like a very considerate person. But it was equally at odds with his extremely happy eyes and smile.

“How are you today? Just now...did you get scolded by Leo again?"

“Ah, well...it's like that, haha.”

“Ah...sorry on Leo's behalf. Whatever they say about Hong Bin...don't take Leo seriously. Today the weather is probably a bit hot. Leo gets upset easily..." N-hyung is always like this: very nice, polite, gentle, kind, and very cute. ...so much so that it makes people who get to know Has come to be close and close like Lee Hong Bin

Shaky, heart pounding all the time.

Sigh...why is N-hyung so cute?

Sigh...If you're not considerate of Leo hyung. To act so jealous of N-hyung...huh. I can assure you that until now, this cute N-hyung Must have been his girlfriend, this Lee Hong Bin, for sure.

Sigh...it's really a pity. A cute person who already has an owner

Wow!

wad!

“Oh my!” Leo used his fist to smash hard into the tiled wall in front of him. With anger at myself Even standing under the water from the shower like this. It's been more than ten minutes now. But the emotions that were boiling over In his heart... Until now, it was still uncontrollable.

Creak...

The water from the shower that Leo was standing in suddenly stopped flowing, and then a deep voice from the person who turned off Leo's faucet spoke: “What are you doing, Leo-hyung?”

“Wonshik..” Leo turned and looked at the faucet. I saw the tall and slender figure of my closest junior. There was only a single towel wrapped around her waist. Wonshik stood with his feet on his hips and looked at Taekwoon with complete confusion.

All of a sudden

“Playing basketball is tiring. And taking a long shower like this... do you want to get sick, hyung?” Wonshik complained to Leo like that. After he had thrown a new towel at Leo

“I'm...strange.” Leo bowed his head and said softly in a confused tone.

"look for? Hmm...Hyung is really a little strange.” After thinking about it, This senior is his. Lately, he's been acting strangely, just like he said.

"Sigh...that's it."

“Yes, it looks too serious. And he's also easily moody...hmm?” Wonshik stopped talking. Seeing that Leo walked silently and sat down, looking lost in thought. He was at the long chair that was placed in front of the lockers. Seeing that, Wonshik stayed silent and looked after Leo and put on his own pants.

“I was awake again and just kept watching…” Leo spoke up again after several minutes lost in his own thoughts.

“Huh?” Wonshik frowned. Leo's face was immediately confused by the nonsensical sentence.

“I'm not satisfied with the person who came to arrest me. Or come and befriend that guy.” Leo began to speak and vent his feelings. “I wanted to know who I was talking to on the phone until I had to eavesdrop.”

"look for?"

“I can't do anything. Until I had to go out for a run...run until I was tired."

“Wait a minute,” Wonshik shouted, braking Leo. Because I felt like I couldn't keep up. I don't understand what Leo is talking about. I couldn't help but have to ask. “What are you talking about?”

“But when that guy came closer, he was flustered...”

"Hoy! Leo hyung, I asked what the matter is?!!!” Wonsik shouted loudly. Because I was starting to get annoyed with Leo who kept talking about something and didn't know what he was doing, being all alone and refusing to tell him anything so he could understand. Wonshik couldn't stand it and raised his voice.

“I wonder if you'll like Hakyun,” Leo looked up at Wonshik. With a strong expression and voice

“Huh?” Wonshik claims, his mouth agape for a moment before saying, “Are you kidding?”

“So you think I'm joking?” Leo said seriously.

"nothing? It's not like that.” Wonshik quickly shook his head in denial before quickly explaining his reasoning, “I said it was a joke, I thought the two hyungs were dating…”

“I've told you many times already. That they're just friends...why don't you believe it?"

“Oh...they're so close together. No one can believe it. That the two hyungs will have nothing And they're really just friends like that.”

"what? Don't you believe it yourself, Wonshik?”

“Well..50/50.” Wonshik really wanted to tell Leo directly, yes, but he still felt considerate of Leo so he had to say it like that.

“Why? It's normal for us to act like this.” Leo continued trying to confirm the reality of him and Hakkyun. That they really are still just friends

“Sigh…” Wonshik saw that Leo was still stunned and responded harshly about his contact with that cute friend. Wonshik was tired of having to point things out. Things that were clear from the beginning...like that. To a stubborn person like Leo who doesn't accept the truth. “This is Leo-hyung...I think so.

If you know your heart, you should quickly follow your heart...before it's too late."

Leo walked back out onto the basketball court again. After disappearing for more than half an hour

As Leo walked along the side of the basketball court, Until he walked closer to the stands. ...Leo then realized that I myself have made a mistake.

So what was my mistake?

What else could it be? Aside from the matter of leaving Hakkyun waiting for me in the stands for more than half an hour...with the irritating kid Lee Hong Bin who likes to go in and try to gain points from Hakkyun. Every time Hakyeon comes to sit and wait for me to play basketball, it's like that.

Ugh, fuck me, I really don't like it.

“Oh, Taekwoon has arrived...eh?” Before raising his eyebrows, he looked suspicious. With the not-so-good demeanor of a lifelong friend Hakyeon looked at Taekwoon and Hongbin who were staring at each other. Before calling out the name of his important friend again, "Taekwoon"

“Get up! Go home!” Leo turned to Hakyun in a stern voice.

“Um, let me pack up my things first. Just a moment.” Hakkyun nodded and then quickly turned and bent over to pick up the things that were placed next to himself.

All of a sudden

While Hakyun was bending over to put things in his bag. Hong Bin was sitting next to Hakyun. He got up and walked closer to Taekwoon. to whisper something to Taekwoon

“Hyung should have come out a little later,” Hongbin whispered his first sentence before moving out. Gave a challenging face to Taekwoon Then he turned to look at Hakyeon. Before saying another sentence: “Because when Hyung wasn't here...the two of us had a lot of fun talking.”

“Lee Hong Bin,” Taekwoon snorted. Clench your fists with extreme patience.

“Yes, that's my name.” Hong Bin continued to flirt with Taekwoon.

“Don't try this on me...” Taekwoon clenched his jaw tightly, suppressing his emotions as much as possible.

“Isn't it good? If my hyung punches me...N-hyung, who loves me the most, will definitely be very sad and disappointed in his lifelong friend. ...Hyung, don't you think so?”

“Do you think I'm afraid of that guy?” Taekwoon replied without giving up.

“Ah, so? I'm sorry...but I don't want to make my good N-hyung regret it over something careless..okay?”

"....." The more I heard Hong Bin say that, Taekwoon was even more angry, unable to speak.

“Taekwoon, we're done packing up.” I must say, thanks to Hakkyeon's bright voice. It rang out at just the right time. Because otherwise If it's a little slower than this Today, someone may have been transported to the hospital. Definitely because of the skill of this Jung Taekwoon.

“Um.” Taekwoon turned his eyes away from Hongbin to Hakkyun, who was approaching him.

“Good afternoon~ N-hyung, please come home safely.” Hong Bin waved goodbye and gave Hakkyun a sweet smile.

“Ah, yes, Hongbi- ah!..Taekwoon?!” Hakyeon was actually about to smile and wave goodbye to Hongbin. Taekwoon walked over and shielded Hakkyun's face. That wasn't enough. Taekwoon also grabbed Hakkyun and turned him around towards the exit door. Without even allowing Hak Yeon to say goodbye to Hong Bin.

Sigh...Jung Taekwoon is being spoiled like this again.

Saaa....

Ding...ding...ng

"Hm...." While Hakkyun was washing his hands in the shower. Suddenly, a drop of bright red blood mixed with the clear water from the faucet in the washing basin.

"What...blood..." Hakkyun froze. Staring at the blood dripping into the water in the washing basin. Then it slowly disappeared into the drainage hole in the washing basin with shock and wonder...!

Hak Yeon remained calm for a moment. Before slowly lifting one of his own hands, he touched the tip of his finger to the underside of his nose.

Bright red blood smeared on the tips of Hakkyun's index and middle fingers was the answer...

“Why.…” Hakkyun stood and looked at it in confusion. Until I can't do anything anymore.

For the seven years since Hakyeon woke up

Even though there were times when Hak Yeon was sick

But Hak Yeon remembers. that he himself had never had a single nose bleed Since waking up again seven years ago

It never happened...why?

It's strange because Hakyun isn't feeling sick right now. Then why didn't he suddenly have a nose bleed like this?

“Why is this like this...What should I do…” Hakkyun raised his hand to cover his nose. Then quickly turned to look left and right to find help.

Hakkyun picked up a folded towel on the shelf next to him and used it to cover up the nosebleed that was still flowing out.

"Ugh...." Hak Yeon began to feel abnormal.

Buildings, buildings

Heart beats faster than normal Breathing becomes shallow and short.

The pulse is fast but very light.

Hakyun starts to feel dizzy. Feeling dizzy and felt that his body became cold and pale

"Ugh..." Suddenly, there was a tight pain in his chest. and felt nauseous to the point of wanting to vomit

All together..

Hak Yeon can't stand it. He hurriedly walked in and fell to his knees next to the toilet bowl to vomit. But it wasn't as desired...

"Ugh..haha...ugh.." His whole body was in turmoil. Hakyeon began to fall into a state of confusion, anxiety, and began to fear unusual symptoms. that arises in one's own body

"Ugh...." Hakkyun tried his best to keep himself conscious. Slowly he lifted himself up. Then he slowly walked along the wall separating him from the shower room. In the worst condition, it will look bad. His body was still cold and pale and covered in more sweat than usual.

By the time Hakyeon was able to stagger back into his own bedroom, it was quite difficult and painful. Having to endure such...excruciating symptoms...to allow myself to walk into my own bedroom like this...is not easy at all.

Thump...thump

As soon as he walked in, he reached the edge of his own bed. Hakyeon immediately laid down flat on his back on the bed. Because he couldn't keep his balance and stand any longer. ...The world's spinning symptoms are hitting hard right now.

“Haha...haha..” Hakkyun lay restlessly on the bed. Hak Yeon also had worrisome rapid and short breathing. His body was so cold he could feel it in his bones. Along with this, the numbness in the body began to attack again.

Dense, dense, dense.

"Ugh...Ugh." Hakyun continued to struggle. in agony on the bed Because of the suffering that arises in the body It was getting harder and more painful.

"Ugh..Ugh...Ugh.." What is this painful feeling like dying?

"Ugh...Ugh." Why did he feel so much suffering? Oh...gulp.

Pain...torment...I don't like it at all.

Hakyeon...don't like...don't like having to face something like this...it's scary.

Hakyeon...what should I do?

Hakyeon...you have to endure it...like that...?

Hakyeon...you're confused...you're worried...

Hakyeon...you suffered a lot...right?

Hakyeon...if you can't handle it...you just...

"Oh...Ugh...Ugh..." Hakyun felt so tormented that he cried.

When a feeling of weakness and hopelessness arises in the heart

People will think of someone...

Someone we want to rely on the most...when we are in a bad situation...like this.

“Ugh…” Hakkyun tried to move, scrambling, his hand reaching for his communication device that was on the table next to the bed.

Even though now Hakyeon's body began to have difficulty moving. But Hak Yeon still didn't give up. Try to use that trembling hand Go up and find some mobile phones nearby. Let's unlock the device and call the person you're most thinking of right now.

Thump...

Hakkyun let go of his cell phone and placed it near his ear. After exercising his last bit of patience To dial someone out on the phone and turn on the volume speaker as well. Because right now Hakkyeon's arms and legs were exhausted, unable to move any longer.

Toot.... Toot..... Toot....

"Un..ah..taek..un..dai...po..rd..." Hakyeon started to have difficulty speaking because his mouth couldn't move... But Hak Yeon still tried to hold on to his consciousness that was starting to get darker and darker. Listen to the call waiting sound that still echoes into your auditory nerves until you can hear it...but then, whether it's your senses or your perception.

Or Hak Yeon's vision of things right now, it all started...

ERROR!

Taekwoon...where is he?

I feel afraid...

Taekwoon...

...it can't take it anymore........shortened.

Hak Yeon is in a bad situation...alone...alone.

Solitude that I thought I was used to...and had been okay with for many years

But enough for one day The day someone else walked in...and became another part of my life.

He is a person who can pass through any wall. that Hakkyun created to block himself from other people without any conditions

He is...the person we trust.

Today, Cha Hakyeon can laugh and smile from his heart without feeling afraid. It's because Hak Yeon has Jung Taek Woon beside him.

Cha Hakyeon feels like himself every time he's with Jung Taekwoon.

But even though Cha Hakyun has started to open up to others around him more.. Jung Taekwoon is still the only friend that Cha Hakyun can be close to without any conditions.

In the four years that we've known each other, Cha Ha Kyun has always thought this way...Jung Tae Woon is Cha Ha Kyun's lifelong friend.

However, over the past few days Everything started to get weird.

Taekwoon who normally likes to be cold He usually acts annoyed at Hak Yeon.

Lately, Hakyun feels like Taekwoon is becoming more...

In the past, Hakyun used to cling to her. Acting like a mess, he went in and begged Taekwoon to take him there. Let's go here together. Go in and invite him to do something like that. Let's do this blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah Every day Taekwoon also goes to play basketball at university.

But Taekwoon never said anything. It's just that there might be some. Taekwoon made an annoyed and annoyed face at Hakkyun, but every time, Taekwoon never denied what Hakkyun did...not once.

But right now, it's not like everything...it's not like it used to be.

Taekwoon starts to distance himself...building a wall with Hakkyeon.

When Hakyeon approaches Taekwoon would quickly avoid Hakkyun first every time. Wouldn't let Hak Yeon play with him at all...

When Hakyeon goes in and asks what? Taekwoon didn't have much time to answer to Hakyun. ...Up until now, the two of us have barely spoken five sentences a day.

Huh, Hak Yeon was ignored by his lifelong friends...feels really bad and crazy.

But nothing feels as bad as the latest incident. That just happened last night...

"Taekwoon" Hakyeon walked up to Taekwoon who was listening to music on his iPod on the long sofa in the living room.

" ..... " Taekwoon didn't answer and didn't turn to look at Hakkyun.

“Taekwoon, what are you...what are you? What's up? What are you dissatisfied with? So tell me, can you tell me?” Hakkyun said helplessly.

Hurry...Hurry up!

“Don't let me go!” Hakyun held Taekwoon's arm tightly. Taekwoon immediately stood up and started walking away.

" .... " Taekwoon stood there silently. and still refused to look at Hak Yeon's face

"What's wrong with you? Taekwoon, we're friends.. There's something we should talk about, right?" Hakkyun tried to ask calmly.

"Let go," Taekwoon said in a low voice.

“No Taekwoon, we need to talk to each other first. So I won't let you go. Until you agree to tell me What's wrong with you?"

"Say let go"

"Don't let go"

"Cha Hak Yoon Ploy"

“No, no, no, Jung Taekwoon, you are my only lifelong friend. I can't let you be like this to me. You've never been like this...why? Why, Taekwoon, why tha..."

“Oh shit, I can't stand it anymore. Stop messing around with me, you're annoying me!!!” Taekwoon shouted at Hakkyun and violently jerked himself away from Hakkyun. Until Hak Yeon's thin body was thrown off his back and hit the carpet next to the sofa.

"Ugh...Ugh." Hak Yeon frowned, feeling speechless. Before starting to feel a sharp pain in the area of ​​his buttocks and hips where it hit the ground... Even though it hurt, Hak Yeon didn't dare cry out that it hurt.

"....." Taekwoon turned to look at Hakkyun in shock. Because of the actions that I did not intend to make it that way. ...Taekwoon stood still. He looked at Hakyun with an expression and eyes filled with confusion and hesitation.

“Taekwoon…” Hakkyun called out the name of the tall figure who was still standing. He looked at himself confusedly, hesitating there in hope. ...I hope Taekwoon will soften up and reach out to me...like before.

Hakyun hopes...but Hakyeon's hope...

"...sorry...give me some time...give me time first...Hakkyun." After saying this, Taekwoon hurriedly walked away into his own bedroom.

Hakyeon's hope...was just...empty.

“Taekwoon…” Hakkyun looked behind Taekwoon, not understanding.

Taekwoon leaves Hakkyun. along with confusion and a tight pain in the left side of his chest. Until Hak Yeon had to purse his lips and grit his teeth tightly. He raised one hand and squeezed it. I want to stop this pain that is coming from me for no apparent reason. Let it stop.

...but that's it The pain that arises in the heart No matter how tightly you squeeze it... it still feels painful...

'Cha Hakyeon is just a fool...a fool who is afraid...of loneliness'

[LEO said]

"Hey Leo."

"what"

"It's already evening...Nong N, where is your cute girlfriend?...Normally, right now I have to sit there and wait for you, right?" A close friend in his basketball gang. asked

“I don't know...maybe I'm not coming,” Taekwoon replied to his friend without paying attention. In spite of the fact In my own head right now there is only the story of another person who has disappeared. Until I wasn't able to pay close attention to the words of my friend's question that I had just asked. Therefore, Taekwoon couldn't hear that just now.

My own friend said the word 'boyfriend' came out.

"Strange...a person who is stuck with you all the time...it's probably not like something happened." The friend continued to talk to Taekwoon, but the voice said that friend It didn't even come into Taekwoon's head. Because right now in Taekwoon's head

There is only the story of his lovely person who disappeared today. It's all full.

" .... " Or... because of last night's incident? Hmm...but at least they should have called or sent a message...uh! Yes...mobile phone!

Taekwoon just realized that he had put his phone on silent. Since last night And in the morning when I came out I forgot to take it out with me.

Sigh...so what? Today, he felt that it was strangely quiet.

But what's more strange is...Hak Yeon's disappearance today.

Here's something more strange... Are you saying it's because of the argument they had last night? Hmm...it might play a part.

But anyway, Hak Yeon is...or is it... Hak Yeon angry?

Jung Taekwoon, what have you done? Oh my god, what are you going to do now? If Hak Yeon really gets angry at you like he thinks... Oh my gosh.

It's really crazy. Why don't you learn to be more calm than that? Jeong Taek Un.

And now, how do I go about asking Hak Yeon to come back?...Oh my!

“You don't have much time left... Mr. Hakkyun,” said a soft voice from the person sitting in the driver's seat. Like wanting the person sitting in the seat next to him to be talking to I took his words into consideration carefully again.

“I understand,” Hakkyun responded with the expression of someone who was still absent-minded.

“You have to choose it...make a good decision..before it's all too late. Mr. Hakkyeon, do you understand what I want to convey to you?”

"Doctor."

"He is my most precious memory... I don't want to lose it," Hak Yeon said about his worries. "I know..as soon as I wake up again I will have no memories and feel nothing...just like that time...seven years ago.”

Hakyeon said with eyes filled with pain. Pain that doesn't come from anywhere in the body Besides Hakkyeon's heart When Hak Yeon returns to remember the past and think back to his own future

“But Mr. Hakyeon will suffer. And if it gets worse...you might die." The young doctor tried to persuade his patient not to think about dying the wrong way. He didn't want Hakyeon to have to endure all that pain again.

"How much time do I have to die?"

"The safest distance...is within this month."

"One month..."

“If you let it go any longer than that, Hakkyun's body... probably won't be able to take it.”

"Sigh...I understand now. Well..today..anyway I have to thank the doctor very much...for coming to help me. Because otherwise...yeah. I have to thank the doctor again...from my heart.” After saying his thanks, Hakyun opened the car door. Step out of the car immediately.

Crack!

"Mr. Hakyeon...wait a minute." The young doctor hurriedly opened the car door next to himself. Then, she hurriedly walked towards Hakkyun who was about to walk back into Hakkyun's apartment building.

“What is it, doctor?” Hakyeon stopped walking and turned to ask the young doctor following behind him.

“This is it,” the young doctor held up a white paper bag with something in it for Hakkyun to see. “You forgot,” the doctor said to Hakkyun again with a smile and tone of voice. who has only open warmth and affection for Hak Yeon

“Ah...I really forgot about it. Sigh...because I was thinking about that..." Hakkyun reached out his hand in front of him. In order to go pick up something that he forgot with the young doctor, but...

All of a sudden

"Eh!"

Just a moment.

“Taekwoon…” Hakkyun was shocked when Taekwoon suddenly appeared from nowhere?

Taekwoon suddenly appeared and hugged Hakkyeon's small shoulders from behind. He also had the discretion to reach out and grab the item from the young doctor's hand before Hak Yeon.

“If you don't have any business with Hakkyun then You can go back now.” Taekwoon said in a curt voice with an expression openly displeased with the other party.

“Taekwoon, why do you speak ill of Dr. Hyuk like that? It's not good.” Hakkyun scolded Taekwoon. before quickly turning to apologize to the young doctor on Taekwoon's behalf. "Oh...I'm sorry on behalf of this friend of mine who acted disrespectfully...Doctor."

“Mr. Hak-yeon, you don't need to apologize...I don't mind anything,” the young doctor said to Hak-yeon, not caring about Taek-woon's troublesome behavior.

“Ah..ha..Taekwoon!” What was Hakkyun going to say next? But he didn't speak because Taekwoon dragged him away first. ...Taekwoon is like this again.

"So what? I don't care...you have to come with me, Hakkyun." Taekwoon forced his arm around Hakkyun's shoulder, locking him out by himself. Without caring or caring about anyone. Because right now there's only one thing in Taekwoon's head.

'Take Reebhakyeon away from the other [men] as quickly as possible.'

At the dining table

“Stop looking at me and handle the food in front of you, Hakkyun.” Taekwoon looked up from his plate. Turning to look fiercely at the cute person who was acting stubborn and just sitting with his chin on his hands, staring at Taewoon. Until he refused to eat his own food. ..Cha Hakyun the stubborn one. It's really worth kicking.

"Well, I want to look at Taekwoon for a long time...can't I just look at you?"

Crunch...crunch

Taekwoon can't stand it. Stand up and straddle the table. Leaning forward, bringing his face closer to Hakkyun's. Taekwoon brought his face closer to Hakkyun's face. Until they could almost breathe together.

"Ah...yeah" when I saw Taekwoon playing like this. Hak Yeon suddenly became helpless because of this unprecedented action from his lifelong friend, Jung Tae Woon. That in the past four years... Taekwoon has never once approached Hak Yeon like this before. And today... today... what was it?

“Why are you hiding your eyes? Why did you say you wanted to look at each other?” Taekwoon teased, moving a little closer to Hakkyun. Until the tips of our noses almost collided.. Taekwoon tried to make eye contact with Hakkyeon. “Hakkyun-ah...look at Taekwoon,” Taekwoon pretended to speak softly and sweetly to Hakkyun.

"Uh...no. Taekwoon, don't tease us.” Hakyun still tried to avoid Taekwoon's eyes until the end.

"Hakkyeon...turn around first."

"No...Ugh!!!" And Taekwoon couldn't bear the feelings from inside himself. So he used his own hand to hook Hakkyun's rounded tip up to take the kiss from himself.

At that very moment Taekwoon's hot lips pressed firmly against Hakkyeon's lips. Until there's no space

Tuk Tak...a heart that seemed to stop beating for a moment, at first it started beating again. Then slowly beat harder Stronger...until Hak Yeon began to feel afraid.

The feelings inside his body were all turbulent, but on the outside it was like his body had been frozen like that...

'Why...suddenly I was kissed by my lifelong friend?'

Taekwoon kissed Hakkyun and stayed there for a minute. Until slowly withdrawing his own lips, lingering and regretful..

"....." Taekwoon only pulled his face away from Hakkyun's slightly. To allow myself to clearly see the face of the person I just kissed again. ...Why do you have to be so cute, Cha Hakyun?

Taekwoon looked at Hakkyun, who was now completely red from the kiss. With eyes full of meaning That Hakkyun will never know...if Hakkyun will continue to be in this stunned state. "Hakkyun..."

"..Ugh!" Hakkyun didn't flinch at the sound of his name being called. But because of the warm palm that came to touch me It's on the side of my cheek from Taekunnie's. which was the cause of Hak Yeon's consciousness which had drifted far away Come back again.

“T..Taekwoon.” Hakyeon accidentally made eye contact with Taekwoon. After only a moment, he quickly turned his head and ran away. Because of feelings of embarrassment from something that had just happened before.

“Are you embarrassed?” Taekwoon whispered to Hakkyun close to him.

“What do you want to ask?” Hakkyun lowered his head and answered without his full voice.

"Don't be shy...you'll get used to it."

“Huh?” Hakyun was annoyed by Taekwoon's words. Until he had to raise his head and look at the owner of those words with an expression that he didn't understand and wanted an explanation. "What do you mean by what you say?"

“Um...then what you're asking about...” Taekwoon made an annoyed face before slowly moving his eyes down to look at Hakkyeon's soft lips. Then he continued: "I really don't know...Hakkyeon, hmm?"

What's with those sexy eyes? Jeong Taekun!

“Damn...back off. Go back to your seat. We're going to eat now." Hakkyun said and avoided Taekwoon's eyes. Really crazy. Why Taekwoon.. "Ah...stop it. Taewoon, don't look at us like that..damn it, get out, go, go back to your seat.”

But Tae-woon is stubborn and refuses to do as Hak-yeon says. Jung Taekwoon is the craziest.

"Huh..." When he had teased the other person until he was satisfied. Taekwoon then concluded by saying Gently squeezing Hakkyeon's soft cheeks in an affectionate manner before moving back to sit in his own chair. With a smile full of utmost satisfaction

“You don't seem very strong today…” Taekwoon said as he scooped up Hakkyun's favorite food and put it on a plate for Hakkyun, wanting to please him. With a warm smile that Hakyeon had never seen before. "Eat a lot."

“Thank you. Taekwoon was really kind to us today.” Hakkyun finished as he scooped up the food Taekwoon brought to him and ate it with gusto. along with smiling happily at Taekwoon And of course this time Taekwoon also smiled back at Hakyun.

'Want to keep and remember every moment of the two of us forever...don't want to forget...every happiness. That the two of us have this together'

[HakYeon said.]

All of a sudden

Suddenly, the living room light suddenly went out. "Ah! What?...Taekwoon?” Hakkyun turned to look at the light switch panel in the corner of the room and saw Taekwoon standing there. “Why did you turn off the lights?” Hakkyun asked, not understanding. He also tried to focus his eyes on Taekwoon through the dimness of the living room and at the tall figure next to the leather wall. What?

People are actually sitting and watching a movie. Why do they turn off the lights?

Jung Taekwoon, what else are you planning to tease?

"Don't you know that it's more fun if you turn off the lights and watch a movie?" That was Taekwoon's answer.

"look for? But like this, it's not good for our eyes.” This kind of thing hurts our eyes. I don't like it at all, but it's like Taekwoon definitely doesn't think like me. Sigh... just look at him. Besides not paying attention to what I said. He also walked in with snacks and sat down next to me on the same sofa.

“Nice...dark like this. It has the best movie-watching atmosphere,” Taekwoon said as he pressed his index finger against my cheek. Let me stop staring at his face. Then turn around and go back to watching the movie. Jung Taekwoon, you're so...ugh.

"Huh ... spoiled." Fine. I can watch movies in a dark room like this. Huh. Jung Tae Woon is a spoiled person.

touch..

I was intent on watching a movie. Then Taekwoon took a biscuit stick covered in chocolate. That he brought to eat, play with, watch his movies, and poked and touched my mouth.

"Uh..." I turned my head away. Then he slowly took his eyes off the movie and turned to ask Taekwoon, "What?"

“Eat it,” Taekwoon said, trying to get me the biscuit stick.

"Uh, no...we already brushed our teeth," I said and pushed Taekwoon's hand away as well.

“Then you can go brush it again before going to bed,” Taekwoon said and handed me the biscuit again. He stared at me sternly and told me again, "Hurry up, Hakyeon...eat it."

"Oh, hey...uh, okay. You can eat it..Snap!” I reluctantly accepted Taekwoon's biscuit stick. I pretended to chew the biscuit hard while staring at Taekwoon with a piqued expression.

“Huh, very good,” Taekwoon said as he rubbed my head like I was a child. What's with those satisfied eyes and smile?

When I chewed and swallowed the problem snack, I made a scowling face and asked him sullenly, "Eat, now I'm satisfied with you, right?" If you're satisfied...I'll go back and watch the movie."

But then Jung Taekwoon, the troublemaker, still wouldn't let me watch the movie anymore...

“Hakyeon, is watching a movie…more important than me?”

"look for? what? What did you say just now?” Hey, what else? I just turned around and watched the movie less than a minute ago. Jung Taekwoon...again? Why do they often have problems with me these days? What's wrong with Taekwoon...why is he suddenly acting strange again?

The other day he still told me to stay away. When you come back today, you want me to indulge you...what? What's the matter? Jung Taekwoon, what's wrong? Why are there such fluctuations in mood? Sigh...I'm starting to keep up with his emotions.

Just a moment.

“What did you choose, Hakyeon? ...Choose me..or the movie?" Taekwoon came and grabbed my shoulder. Let me turn to him. What else? Such a serious expression and expression...what is it?

"Taekwoon...what's going on all of a sudden?" I tensed and resisted myself. Don't let yourself get too close to Taekwoon. Well...it feels rather dangerous. The two of us being close to each other in this kind of atmosphere...I think it's dangerous.

Right now, I feel...my heart beating strangely. And I also feel a complete turmoil inside. This...couldn't be that disease? My disease...it's probably not like it's about to relapse again. Oh...no. If that's the case...what should I do?

"Don't be quiet, Hakyeon."

"Ah...!" Whoa... because of Taekwoon's voice. Help me regain my consciousness again.

"Uh...can you...could you move a little further?" They were too close. So I used one of my hands to lightly push Taekwoon's chest.

“Not until you answer my question.” Taekwoon pushed back his strong chest against the slight force of my palm. Before taking his warm palm, he held mine tightly and said to me in a softer voice, "Hurry up, I'm waiting to hear your answer. Hakyeon." His voice was very pleading when Tae Kun said my name

"...." Damn it, why did he have to do this? He shouldn't have called my name in that tone. And there's a hint in his eyes that he used to look at me too often today...that's not good at all. Why does Taekwoon have to behave like this to me today? I don't understand it. I don't understand why my heart is pounding so hard with him? Why...I don't like it at all.

Jung Taekwoon has a really bad personality...likes to make me feel weird.

“Hakkyun, if I count 1-3 and you still don't answer…” Taekwoon stayed like that. and stared deeply into my eyes seriously before continuing to say the last sentence with emphasis on the word clearly, "I will kiss you."

"Huh?" What? What did Taekwoon say just now?

"Hey" What? What...what?

"Wait a minute." Wait a minute. Give me some time to process.

               "3 GAME OVER!"

"look for? ...Ugh!!!" Will...Jong Taekwoon ...Jong Taekwoon ...Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ! ! !

[TaekWoon said.]

What's wrong with me?

Why am I like this today?

Why do you want to be near me?

Why do you want to touch it?

Why is there such a huge demand...

Why? Why?

Two times...

Today I kissed Hakyun twice...

I can't stop myself. The feelings inside...are so overwhelming that I can't control them.

Especially that evening. When I saw Hak Yeon with that person A person I've never seen before.

At that time, I really felt like a crazy person who wanted to destroy everything around me.

When I saw the two of them standing and smiling at each other, I feel hot and my heart hurts a lot too... It made me feel very displeased with that doctor. So much so that he almost rushed in and punched it until it bled. ...if you don't see my Hakyeon By now, that guy must have been punched by me until he was bleeding. Huh...I thought about it and got angry.

"Ugh" because I felt angry. So I accidentally kissed Hak Yeon hard in my mood. Until Hak Yeon's small fist hit him in the middle of his back.

"Ah ha ha ha."

"Sorry."

"Nah, you...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" That..I just broke the kiss and apologized to you. I accidentally kissed you too hard. Therefore, you still have to accept kisses from me for a long time... Tonight, Cha Hak Yeon.

Because the more I saw Hakyun with other people smile at others Where are you going with other people than me? And it's someone I've never met like that... It hurts. It hurts in my heart. I don't like it. I really don't like it. I can't stand it. I can't stand seeing Hak Yeon with someone else. Can't be close to anyone else...besides me...

"Remember, Cha Hakyun, you only need me..just this one Jung Taewoon."

Several days later...

In Hakyeon's bedroom

“Yes…” Hakkyeon was sitting on the foot of his bed talking on the phone with someone. With an expression that doesn't look very good

[Mr. Hakkyun, I know...but I don't want you to wait any longer...]

"But I...I'm not ready yet."

[But your body is getting worse and worse]

[Silence like this means that your condition is really getting worse like I said.]

"Doctor."

[Sigh...then let's put it like this. Mr. Hak Yeon came to see me today. I'll check your condition...and then we'll talk about it again. ...Is this okay?]

"Alright, I'll go see the doctor today..."

Right outside Hakyeon's bedroom door.

Taekwoon was about to walk up and tell Hakyeon that he was going out. But when he walked in front of Hakyeon's bedroom door, Just as Taekwoon was about to call out to Hakyun. His ears could hear Hakkyeon's voice as if he were talking to someone on the phone... emanating from inside.

“Hm.. who are you talking to?” Taekwoon slowly moved his body to press his ear against the door of the room. To eavesdrop on what Hak Yeon is talking about? Who are you with?

Taekwoon stood eavesdropping for a while. Then I heard Hak Yeon call the person in the phone who was talking to him as 'Doctor'.

Taekwoon moved back to stand straight as before and looked thoughtful. I'm thinking that I feel familiar with the word doctor that Hak Yeon calls...um, who is it? I feel familiar when I hear it... Doctor...Doctor?

uncle! Yes..I can imagine!

What was it like then? At that time...it must have been the young doctor. The one that sent Hakyeon several days ago was definitely that person.

Damn it, Hak Yeon is still in contact with that guy? Hey, that's crazy!!

So...what are you talking about?

So why do we have to call each other so early in the morning?

Is there something that needs to be called and discussed early in the morning? Hey!

Eh?! Wait... just now It seems like I heard Hak Yeon say... going to see that doctor?

Hoy! No, no, I won't let Hak Yeon go out and meet that guy!

“Cha Hakyeon, are you going to find someone else? Hey, keep dreaming, I won't give in. ...Today you're going to be stuck next to me all day...wait and see.”

Three days later at the futsal field

It's still the same today...

Taekwoon still won't let Hakkyun stay away from him. No matter what you do? Or wherever he goes...Hakyun has to be with Taekwoon all the time.

Because it's like this So Hak Yeon still hasn't gone to see Dr. Hyuk as planned.

As for Dr. Hyuk, he kept calling to warn him. that Hakyun should hurry and meet him. Because he was worried about Hak Yeon's condition. But Hak Yeon couldn't do it. Hakyun couldn't go see Dr. Hyuk.

Because Taekwoon wouldn't allow it. Taekwoon often comes to Hakkyun with many excuses. To prevent Hakyeon from going out to see Dr. Hyuk as he wanted.

But before we have to fight because of that Taekwoon spoke decisively to Hakyeon,

'Hakyun can go see Dr. Hyuk. But you have to let Taekwoon go with you.

If you don't let Taekwoon go with you. Hakkyun doesn't have to go either.'

That's the way it is.

And of course it was impossible. How can Hak-yeon get Taek-woon to go see Dr. Hyuk and Hak-yeon as well?

Many doubts must have arisen for Taekwoon. If Taekwoon knew why? Why did Hak Yeon have to see Dr. Hyuk...

Because of that, Hakyun had to choose to be with Taekwoon. and did not go out to see Dr. Hyuk as had been arranged. Even though I know it shouldn't...

Hakyeon doesn't know. I don't know why Taekwoon did this...

Since that day The day our lips touched each other deeply that night. Since then...apart from sleeping time Taekwoon never let Hakkyun be away from him for more than an hour a day.

Hakyun didn't ask Taekwoon. Why did Taekwoon kiss him that night? Even though I don't understand Confused and suspicious of Taekwoon's actions like that... But Hak Yeon chose to remain silent. choose not to speak He didn't ask anything. Then do everything to make it normal as before. Forget about the two kisses that night...and smile at each other.

When I opened my eyes and woke up in the morning of a new day

Sometimes...no, many times. That Hak Yeon doesn't understand himself Until today, Hak Yeon still doesn't know. What exactly does your heart want?

Hakyun didn't even know. What are your feelings for Taekwoon right now? Friendship of friends or love... Hak Yeon couldn't answer that. Ah, but there was one thing Hak Yeon could clearly answer for himself. It was seeing Taekwoon smile and return his interest in Hakkyun...that's all.

Just then, Hakkyun felt that his heart that had previously felt pain... had been healed.

And it doesn't matter for what reason. That's because Taekwoon is an important friend. Hakyeon felt sad when Taekwoon returned... And from all the stories and everything that has happened in the past It made Hakkyun realize that no matter what, Hakkyun must protect this important friend, Taekwoon, as best he can.

For everything With a smile, Hak Yeon concealed all his doubts deep in his heart. To maintain friendships and relationships of important people who have only one person in their life It's better than strengthening the relationship that everyone has maintained for a long time. It must be shaky or there may be cracks...

Just because of one doubt of my own cannot. Hak Yeon will definitely not let it be like that.

Crack~ Crack~ Crack~ Tick...

"Yes...doctor."

[Where is Mr. Hak Yeon?]

"yes? Well...I'm at the Rome gym.

xxx"

[Okay, I'll meet you there in less than half an hour.]

"Eh? Here...is the doctor coming to see me here?"

[yes]

"Why?"

[Of course, because you refused to come see me.]

"Uh...about that...."

[Then we'll talk...when I get there, okay.]

"Doctor...oh, yes."

Hakkyeon sat there frozen. Refusing to move anywhere Even the mobile phone in hand The person who called had now hung up the phone, but Hak Yeon still held it to his ear. It was like someone who received shocking news. And I can't do anything. Only confused by the situation... Hak Yeon started to feel lost because he couldn't think straight about his own business.

Now, Hak Yeon doesn't know at all. I really don't know. I don't know how to deal with the various wisdoms that may arise in the near future?

The fact that Dr. Hyuk came to see Hak Yeon here A place with Taekwoon like this... mustn't be good.

Right now, Taekwoon is playing futsal with his friends on the field. But not more than twenty minutes. Taekwoon will have time to rest in the second half.

Therefore, Hakyeon could only wish. Please don't let Taekwoon and Dr. Hyuk meet each other...they shouldn't meet.

But this Hak Yeon couldn't do anything. Hakyeon couldn't get up and walk out of the Rome Gym. If you haven't told Taekwoon first.

Hakyun knows that Taekwoon doesn't like Dr. Hyuk. And now...Dr. Hyuk is coming to see Hak Yeon here.

Hakyun...what should I do? What should I do? So that there wouldn't be any problems. Between Taekwoon, Hakyeon, and Dr. Hyuk?

All of a sudden

"What are you absent-minded about, Hakyeon?"

"Ah! Tae Taekwoon...since when?"

"Because you were so distracted... you didn't realize I called your name twice."

"Ah, is that so...sorry?"

“What…is more important than me, Hakkyun?”

"look for? What? There isn't any...because Taekwoon is the most important thing."

"Um, I'll believe you like that."

“Of course that's the truth, Taekwoon.” Hakyun looked into his eyes and said in a serious tone. Before Hakyeon's beautiful eyes started to wonder something. Hakyun then hurriedly took something out of his pants pocket and gave it to Taekwoon.

“Look...look at how much you're sweating,” Hakkyun spoke up again as he handed his own handkerchief to Taekwoon.

"..." Taekwoon looked at Hakkyun's handkerchief. Then he looked back up at Hakkyun and shook his head instead of speaking.

“Why?” Hakkyun asked, not understanding why Taekwoon refused it.

"...." Taekwoon didn't say anything. Instead, he reached out and approached Hakkyun nearby to tell Hakkyun what he wanted from Hakkyun.

"Taekwoon...that's you. Sigh..." He sighed. pretending to be dissatisfied Knowing Taekwoon's desire, however, the hand holding the handkerchief was Hakkyeon's. It was carried over to carefully wipe away the sweat on Taekwoon's handsome face, according to Taekwoon's wishes.

At times, Cha Hakyun often spoke and acted in opposite directions.

And in that moment Hakyeon suddenly started to feel strangely shy. When he accidentally made eye contact with Taekwoon. While mopping up the sweat from Taekwoon's forehead.

Taekwoon used gentle but profound eyes to stare at Hakyun. before slowly moving to bring his face closer to Hakyun. If you don't think too much It's like Taekwoon moved in another way. I wanted Hakkyun to be able to easily wipe away the sweat from his face. But of course Taekwoon didn't think like that.

Because there's only one reason That is, Taekwoon just wanted to go in. Look closely at Hakkyeon's sweet face for a long time...for no other reason.

“Hmm...why is the broker red and sweating? Or is it…hot?” Taekwoon scanned Hakkyun's face with a smile. Before raising his hand to gently caress Hakkyun's faintly red cheek with care and a look of genuine concern from his heart.

"Oh, well...um, yes...hot." Hakkyun wasn't lying. Hakyeon felt really hot. It's hot...both in the face and in...the heart.

"Wait a minute, the game's over." Taekwoon shifted his hand from the one that was stroking the soft side of his cheek. He went up and rubbed the top of Hakkyun's head affectionately. and want to comfort you too

"Um...don't worry about us. You go. Look, your friends are waiting for you. Go, we'll be waiting right here." Hakkyeon moved away from Taekwoon slightly. To make Taekwoon stop rubbing his head like a child Then he told Taekwoon to hurry back down to the arena.

"Okay, then I'll go first."

“Um,” Hakyeon nodded and gave Taekwoon a bright smile of encouragement. And of course, Taekwoon smiled as he responded to Hakyun as well.

Hakyeon's bright, beautiful smile gradually faded. Following the broad back of Taekwoon, who had walked far away from where he was sitting. Keep going here.

The eyes that once sparkled were beautiful to look at. Sadness began to take its place.

My heart was pounding because of Taekwoon just now. Now it's weakened and starting to beat more and more slowly...and more.

And one question resounded in Hakyeon's head:

'Is it time already?'

Hurry....Hold on!

"Wow...almost in time."

"You...doctor..."

"Yes, I'm here."

"You...doctor..."

"It's time. We have to leave here..." That's all Dr. Hyuk said and gently scooped out Hakkyun's thin, exhausted body. and consciousness begins to fade away every moment Come up and hold her in the bridal position. before speaking again, "Don't worry. I promise to do my best. My lord."

All of a sudden.

“What are you doing? Where are you taking my people?!” Taekwoon ran up and grabbed [pulled] the tall man who was holding Hakkyeon's unconscious body. With cries and rage

"Let go, I have to hurry."

“No, you are the one who should have returned Hakkyun to me. Send him back to me now."

"Don't you see? Sigh...there's no time. I have to take him quickly.”

"No, I won't let you take him anywhere!"

“Then I have only one question. And you must answer me first.”

"what?"

“Do you want this Cha Hakyun to die?”

"What? You're challenging me..."

“Then you look into my eyes. And said that I want it... just like you said." Dr. Hyuk said with the utmost coolness. while staring intently into Taekwoon's eyes

"...." Taekwoon also stared at the other person's eyes, searching for an answer. And Taekwoon got the answer. "What...what the hell is this?"

“Then you come together,” Dr. Hyuk said solemnly. Because I want to solve the problem. And another reason is If he were to stand here and explain various matters, There's definitely hope that it won't be in time.

[TaekWoon siad]

Can it just be a lie?

If it's true...how will I live tomorrow?

Why does it have to be me? Because I misbehaved with him?

In spite of now The two of us are doing well...but why?

There are many feelings that I have for him. Is that still not enough?

So how much does it have to be? Because right now, I've given it all to him...my whole heart...belongs to Cha Hakyeon alone.

And look, is this it? This is what I received... Cha Hakyun's dying soul... was it really supposed to be this way?

It's not fair like this. ...It's not fair.

How would you like me to feel? How would you like me to know the truth...the truth? Cha Hakyeon traded his soul for Satan. To have a long life Enduring pain and suffering for more than a thousand years To wait for my return again Just waiting to fulfill the promise he once made to me. In the past...

It's for me, this person. Hakyeon endured suffering...just to be able to meet me again.

Building, building...

“Mr. Taekwoon,” Dr. Hyuk walked out and called out to Taekwoon who was sitting lost in thought in front of the examination room. "Mr. Hakyeon wants you to go see him now."

“Hakyeon...Hakyeon has regained consciousness?” Taekwoon asked, hesitant.

"Yes, please hurry and go find him."

"...." Taekwoon nodded softly. Then he got up and walked towards Hak Yeon in the examination room as Dr. Hyuk had told him.

Right now, Hak Yeon is lying on the sick bed. In a condition that looked so weak that it was worrisome

Taekwoon slowly walked towards Hakyun. With a heart full of pain And it hurt even more. When he saw his Hakkyun in such a bad condition... Taekwoon's heart was more than stabbed by a thousand blades right now.

“Taekwoon…” Hakkyun called Taekwoon’s name in a tired and soft voice. Even though there is almost no strength But Hak Yeon still tried to reach out his hand towards Taekwoon. In the hope that Taekwoon would be able to hold his own hand in the final moments.

"Hakyeon" Taekwoon saw that. There was no more hesitation. His two long legs hurriedly took long steps towards Hakyeon.

Taekwoon buried his face in Hakkyeon's soft palm that was beginning to lack warmth. And the tears of a man like Jung Taekwoon It slowly trickled out from the corner of his eyes, so quietly that he couldn't hold it back.

“Hakyun, you will stay with me. You won't leave me...right?"

"We are happy to be with Taekwoon."

"Then you must stay with me forever."

"All our life... exists for Taekwoon alone."

"Then please don't leave me."

“Of course we want to do that...want to be with Taekwoon as long as possible. To match the long time We're waiting for Taekwoon to come back..."

"What must I do? Hakyeon, what must I do...so that you can stay with me? A model that is not just today. Or tomorrow...but every day in our future. Hakkyun, please tell me... I'm begging you, please, Hakkyun."

"...." Hakkyun's face softened. Then he looked into Taekwoon's eyes feeling guilty and apologetic. Hakyeon is sad that he couldn't do as Taekwoon asked. before saying, “Taekwoon, everything has been predetermined. We can't hold back or change anything anymore. Because our fate...

It has come time for its end, Taekwoon.”

"No...please. How can I live without you by my side anymore, Hakyun? I can't. I can't live.”

"It must be possible. Taekwoon will definitely be able to continue living Taekwoon's life."

"In spite of my heart It's about to fall apart like this...isn't it, Hakyun?”

"No, Taekwoon's heart will never be broken..."

“Liar, don't comfort me, Hakkyeon. Because right now my heart hurts because it's breaking...can you hear that? Hakyeon, my heart is breaking.”

"Taekwoon, we're sorry. I'm really sorry."

“Hakkyeon, you really can't stay with me?”

“Even though you could have lived and waited for me to come back for a thousand years...so why? Why can't you stay with me anymore? Why, Hakyeon?"

"Because we've done what we promised Taekwoon..."

"Oh, that's right. Which Hakyeon, please tell me... what was the promise between the two of us a thousand years ago?"

“The contract between the two of us from a thousand years ago... was The hearts of the two of us"

"The hearts of the two of us?"

“Yes, when did our hearts connect to each other? Then the bondage that has bound us for this long time… it will end immediately.”

"Hakyun...because I...love you?"

“Don't think of it like that, Taekwoon. It's not like that. ...Not at all."

"Hakyun"

“Can you listen to what we have to say, Taekwoon?”

"Um, okay."

“Even though our long time has come to an end today, Even though we won't have ourselves by your side anymore the next day."

"But this heart of ours will always be with Taekwoon until eternity, so please don't be sad that today we have to leave Taekwoon.”

"Hakyeon"

"It's time for us to go...Can Taekwoon kiss us goodbye one last time?"

"Um, okay, okay, Hakkyun. I'm going to kiss you.. kiss my Hakkyun... for the last time." With that, Taekwoon slowly leaned down closer to Hakkyun.

Taekwoon gently planted a kiss on Hakkyeon's pale, soft lips until they were firm. With all the loving feelings of my heart

Taekwoon and Hakyeon Slowly conveying the many feelings that the two of them had for each other all this time..passing them to each other in this final goodbye kiss.

'Today, what is gone is only the body. But Cha Hakyeon's pure heart and love I will still be with Jung Taekwoon forever and ever.'
