Title : Too Late

Couple : TaecHyuk version (ver.2)

Writer : vampiric

Note :

Do yourself a favor. I really liked Taek when he was with Yok the most. One was tall and stout and the other was thin and small. For this version Wright asked to bring P' Taek together with Nong Yok. (Will the readers like it?) But I want you to know the closeness of idols from different groups who are equally happy. Actually, these two have something in common.... Well, it's gums. Oh.

Anyway, have fun with this couple. I love people who read.

P.S. This is version 2. Taekhyuk's version Version 1 It's from Exo, the Krischen couple, which is Krischen's version. Wright put it in his friend's treasury. Anyway, please follow along with both versions. This is version 1

P.S. 2 Please leave one or two comments. Enough to make your heart feel moist.

Where will I go, what will I do, and when?

We have to worry about each other causing chaos.

Willing to be small-minded, must be followed.

She is...

“Annoying!” The soft voice of a tall, muscular young man revealed an expression that said 'annoyed' without obscurity. while shaking himself free from someone's grip

“What do you mean? annoying! Do you think I'm annoying, Brother Taek?!!" He pulled his thick arm to turn him around to face him. Don't insult each other with a straight face and turn away like this. This Lee Hyukjae doesn't like him!

“Oh, you're annoying. Noisy, Mom-Ng scolds me all the time. Can you ask me one more thing before you throw me off, Hyukjae?”

“Well, the picture I saw was so telling. There's no need for someone like me to ask.”

“Then there is no need for someone like me to make excuses,” finished the young man who everyone said was colder than the polar ice. Walk away from here. There was still another person who was known as a boyfriend standing with clenched fists. The face is full swing.

Lee Hyukjae is a second year student at a university in Seoul. He was standing alone in the middle of a crowd of people who had gathered to watch his argument with Taecyeon. A 3rd year student who is in a relationship with this small figure. A cute face that looks good even when sullen.

But his personality isn't even that good according to that face. Willful, rude, foul-mouthed, whiny, complaining, touchy-feely, sarcastic, all of these are behaviors that don't suit Hyukjae in the slightest. But everyone has advantages and disadvantages. This Hyukjae isn't completely spoiled. At least...his love is for only Taecyeon.

“Having only me isn't enough, right? Then you'll regret it, Brother Taek." He gritted his teeth in anger. Just thinking back to the past day, I want to take a gun and shoot the shameless woman who dared to flirt with a villager's boyfriend at the condo. When they caught him, they defended themselves and said that they were juniors who were very close in middle school. We met by chance so I gave my address in case I had free time so I could go back to those sweet, throat-burning days again.

I definitely won't be thrown away if the address I give is... It's not our place!

“Just a junior. Why do you think so much?”

“Well, I don't like anyone coming to our room. If you want to talk, take him somewhere else to talk.”

“Don't be an idiot, Hyukjae. That's my younger version."

“Your junior, but not my junior. If you don't like it, you don't like it. You can tell just by looking at his eyes how much he wants you. I won't let you die."

“Speak to him nicely. Don't be rude to my juniors. Pada and I are very close. What you see is only an older brother and a younger sister.”

“Let's get together, that's right! I have a bad habit. Not cute and neat like your younger generation. Then let your younger sibling come and live here. You will be able to go back to the past day and night and forget about each other!”

“Hyukjae! Please listen to me. I'll scold you, or I'll be sarcastic. I guess I can't stand it anymore. If that's all I can think about, there's nothing more to talk about.” Taecyeon walked out of the room, leaving Hyukjae alone to fuss.

“Fuck Taek, you have no right to walk away from me like this, Fuck Taek!”

After that day, they quarreled without end until today. It wasn't the first time he'd heard the word 'annoying' come out of the mouth of the man he could call his lover. He heard it every time Taecyeon couldn't stand all his past actions. But he still loves Taecyeon as before. There were never sweet words.

Because the words he used with Taecyeon were rude. There was never a pleading angle. Because the perspective he expresses is harsh, he has been like this since he can remember. If anyone can't stand it, then stop bothering each other.

::Taecyeon::

“What the fuck is wrong with you? This face is wrinkled like it was crushed by a ten-wheel truck,” Nichkhun, my closest friend, asked as I walked into the classroom with his face showing the current emotion.

“I got into trouble again,” Chansung, another close friend, said at the right point. That made me even more upset. What an annoying person. I have always tried to be patient with Hyukjae's behavior. But it has its limits. What's going on? I'm just giving Pada the condo address. I also didn't think of Pada as more than just a younger sister. Hyukjae's mother refuses to understand me at all.

"I'm starting to be impatient," I said tiredly.

“Come on, Hyukjae is your girlfriend.”

“Girlfriend is not mother. Always looking for trouble with me like this. How can you stand it, you bastard?”

"You spoke too harshly, Taek. Even though I'm not your mother, is your mother-Ng's boyfriend an important person?" Nichkhun slapped my shoulder hard. while smacking his face I'm just in a bad mood.

“That's right, you two have been together for two years now. A person like you who gets bored easily can endure being with Hyukjae for this long, right? You yourself, don't act like you're causing trouble. You can quit with your thorough personality,” Chansung said weakly. I don't intend to scold these two or anything. It's been two years since we've been together with Hyukjae.

There are always things that make you irritated and annoying. And then there are these two bastards who are blocking my army and Hyukjae. When the quarrel is so severe that we almost break up, they are the ones who mediate. This happened due to the same reason: Hyukjae. Hyukjae will make fun of everyone I talk to. I will hurl anyone who comes near me.

I admit that I talked to other people while I was dating Hyukjae. But I didn't go to the point of leaving him and finding another person. I didn't ask to be with anyone else even though I was still dating Hyukjae.

“But sometimes I'm tired. I don't know how much longer I can be with Hyukjae. I don't know how much longer I can endure this. I..."

“You don't love Hyukjae anymore?” Nichkhun cut off my sentence.

Don't you love me?

I still can't answer myself.

“Stop talking about this, I'm tired.” I chose to deflect the topic and put my head down on the table.

“Don't avoid your feelings too much. If you still love me, you must support your love like it was in the beginning of your relationship. But if love is gone...you should do something to make it clear. Even though Hyukjae is spoiled. I've lost some of my habits. But it loves only you. I wouldn't accept it if you acted like Hyukjae, the only person in your life.”

I heard Nichkhun's serious tone from the beginning. But I just kept quiet like I was asleep.

I told you so.

I still can't answer myself.

Too Late

“Phi Taek, where are you?”

(I live in a condo)

“Let's go see a movie.”

(It's 10 p.m., why are you going? Don't you have a job?)

“Finished, I want to watch the movie today. But I want to watch it in the evening. Come take a look with me.”

(If I say no)

"I'm going to drag you to your place so you can watch."

(Mother-Ng is completely spoiled. Well, see you in twenty minutes in front of the movie theater.) The tall figure cut off the call angrily. Today is a holiday. And on holidays, Hyukjae will go home and sleep. But on holidays, he should be able to stay home and rest? But this little bastard called and forced us to watch a movie together. He wanted to go crazy.

“I'm late.”

“It's good for me to come.”

“Unwilling to come”

“We know each other.”

“Shh, go buy a movie ticket. Take this." Hyukjae frowned. While ordering another person to go buy a movie ticket, he himself walked over and sat down at the table to wait.

“Would you like some popcorn?” Taecyeon, who had finished buying tickets, followed along and asked in an appeasing way. At least Hyukjae is known as a boyfriend. Whatever you please, you might get rid of those bad habits.

“No, what time is the movie?”

“10:50 p.m. It's 10:00 p.m. Do you want to go inside?”

“Go,” Hyukjae smiles absentmindedly before reaching out to hold the other man's hand tightly and dragging him towards the movie theater. Taecyeon, who followed, could only smile at the person in front of him who held his hand and led him to his destination. Today it's not as effective. There's a little bit of fuss. It's cute. Maybe it was because he chose to follow along and ignore the rude words.

If it were like this forever, it would be pretty good.

"Where are you sitting, P'Tack?" The person who dragged me in but didn't know where this was. Taecyeon couldn't help but raise his hand and rub it hard on his head. "Hey, it's messy." He brushed it off gently and adjusted his hair into the same style.

“Come here,” Taecyeon turned and led the way to his seat.

“Sweet seat, hey, why don't you just get a normal seat?” Even though you complained, your butt was already stuck to the sofa.

"Isn't it good? You'll go and insult the next person again," Taecyeon said, because every time he comes to watch a movie Ordinary seats next to each other are naturally next to each other. When the woman came to sit next to me, she glared at me and spoke sarcastically. And where he chose the suite seat At least it will reduce Hyukjae's quarrels with unknown people.

“Say a lot,” was all he could say and he began to turn his attention to the movie preview that was playing in front of him. Taecyeon secretly looked at his slender, clear face that changed according to the movie's teaser. In a few months it will be two years since he and Hyukjae have been together. I've always thought to myself, how can I endure living with such a small body? Or because he loves Hyukjae very much too? If so

He should keep this feeling alive...right?

“Staring at me like this. You won't fight me,” Hyukjae said softly, his eyes still focused on the large screen that was actually starting to show the movie. Lift your legs up and hug them as the temperature starts to get colder.

“If you're not shy, I'll do it for you.” He moved closer, intending to do as the little man said. But he was hit in the shoulder.

“What manners?” You turned to face him and tightened your embrace.

“Why don't you come and watch a movie and don't know how to wear long-sleeved shirts? You'll freeze to death,” Ed said softly before taking off his own long-sleeved shirt and giving it to the other person.

"No need, you'll be cold."

“I'm not cold, you're the one who's cold...no need to argue. Please accept me this time.” When Hyukjae looked like he was going to argue, he muttered until the small figure had to hand over a large hammer before taking Taecyeon's long-sleeved shirt and putting it on and continuing to sit and watch the movie. Taecyeon also stopped paying attention to the little boy next to him and turned to watching movies.

"Ah, I'm so sleepy. I want to go back to sleep." The little man twisted his body to get rid of the tiredness after sitting in one place for over two hours. The other person who had originally followed close behind heard him complain that he was sleepy and couldn't help but slap him lightly on the head, "Oh! It hurts, Taek. Why did you come and hit me on the head?” Hyukjae rubbed the back of his head gently as he flicked his eyes to look at the person who had hurt his head.

"Shut up, I'll pat you gently."

“Then come and slap me, what are you doing to your aunt?”

"I'm annoyed. You come and complain that you're sleepy and then come out to watch a movie and make a spear."

“I came to watch a movie, not to make a spear.”

"I'm annoying you."

“I'm not bothering you.” When he finished speaking, he shrank his neck and avoided the palm that swooped down, hoping to slap him on the head to make him feel better. “What are you doing? Just pretend to attack.”

“You yourself are no different from me. If you make a fuss, go down on me as well.”

“Wow, how did you mention this? I've been mine like this for a long time. You're not used to it?”

“If I weren't used to it, I wouldn't have endured it until today.”

“Do you love me so much?”

“Talk a lot”

“Hahaha, no need to be shy. Because I love you very much too, Brother Taek.” He smiled until his eyes closed and the corners of his mouth lifted high. You can tell how genuine this smile is. Taecyeon immediately went silent.

...while the other person declares his love without hesitation.

...There is another person who still refuses to say those words as well.

“Uncle Taecyeon,” the little man waved his hand in front of Taecyeon's face. When he just kept quiet

“What?” Taecyeon was startled before he shook off his thoughts from a moment ago. Turn to look at the other person who was already looking at you. The smile from just now changed to a questioning expression.

"What's wrong? You're quiet. Are you sleepy? Let's go back." He asked himself and answered himself until Taecyeon had to sigh. This habit of thinking for myself cannot be cured. Hyukjae is Hyukjae. He wouldn't be able to change anything.

"Oh, then let me go to the bathroom for a moment."

“Ah, then I'll wait here,” Hyukjae said before sitting down and waiting at the same table he had sat at before going to watch the movie. Taecyeon's tall figure walked slowly towards the outside bathroom. Until he was out of sight, Hyukjae turned his attention back to his surroundings.

“It's been so long, I'm already sleepy.” Hyukjae looked at the time on his beautiful phone. It had been several minutes since Taecyeon had gone to the bathroom. “Or he fell into the toilet and died,” he joked, putting his phone in his pocket when he decided to go find the tall man himself. Walking down the path you saw Taecyeon walking, he saw a sign pointing the way to the bathroom.

Without any further delay, he hurriedly walked forward. ...But when I entered, I couldn't find the person I was looking for, not even a shadow. That made Hyukjae suddenly feel bad. “What the hell are you playing? Mommy, don't let me see you, I'll slap you, the more people will be sleepy." He hurried out of the bathroom while grumbling in his usual manner. Even though I myself was the one who invited others to come out at a time when they should be resting. But instead, he secretly shifts the blame to the other party without his knowledge.

::Hyukjae::

“What the hell are you playing? Don't let me see you, I'll slap you, the more people will be sleepy." I complained to myself when I walked into the bathroom and couldn't find P'Tack who I thought was in here. So where did it go? I walked out of the bathroom angrily. I don't want to blame Taek. But now I'm very sleepy. Please help me out a bit.

I walked quite far from the bathroom. I was looking for the person I thought was in the bathroom, but I couldn't find him or he left me and ran home. If that's true, dad will burn the house down. Don't think of me as a bad person...I'm just evil. I've often heard that I have a bad personality. So what? I've been like this for a long time.

But until then, let's do it. I have a feeling. Unintentional words sometimes hurt me. But I don't have to show it. I don't want pity. But I want more clarity in my feelings. Brother Taek...he's never told me he loved me since we started dating. There is only me who loves him every day.

It might be true that I was the one who asked P'Tack to date me first. But after that, he was always the one who approached me. If I say that I love him alone And throughout the past year Is Brother Taek just helping me? Brother Taek wouldn't be mean to someone worse than me.

What are you thinking about? along with looking for Brother Taek until passing through the first corridor I saw a familiar figure The clothes you wear are like Standing and talking happily with a little woman. I wouldn't be even more upset than before if this familiar person wasn't...

“Dude Taek!” Ah, actually he was secretly here talking to ‘other people’. You're a bit too brave, Taek. Huh? I slowly walked towards the pair. The woman just gave me a slight smile as she moved to squeeze behind the other person. “Hi,” I greeted her with a smile that I thought was very serious.

But why did she push herself harder against my girlfriend than before? Or is my smile not sincere enough? “Are you afraid of me?”

“No, Hyukjae hyung is so cute. How could Pada be afraid?” I grinned at her words. Pada...she's my younger sibling for a year. He was Taek's closest junior in middle school. And most importantly...it's the person I hate the most right now. She is a cute, bright, innocent, naive, and stupid girl. Sometimes she says things that she thinks too much and ends up hurting herself. Especially to me...she's not secretly secretive. But she's naive, hm?

So why am I making excuses for this kid?

“Coincidentally, we met again, Brother Taek. The world is so small, right?” I said to P'Tack but my eyes stopped on another person whose face was almost behind my girlfriend's back.

“Hyukjae, stop looking at Pada. She's all afraid of you." P'Tack reprimanded me. They came out to protect each other again. I don't like the person I love to take sides with someone else in front of my eyes like this. I'm selfish. Yes, I accept it. Well, this is my boyfriend. Then look at what P'Tack did. Seeing me in this bad state makes me feel hurt.

"Are you worried about each other a little more than your face? I'm your girlfriend. You always say I'm mean."

“Well, you've always acted very badly. How can you trust me that you won't hurt my little sister?”

“You never trusted me, did you?” I asked, hurting more than before. Just trust Brother Taek never gave it to me. And in the past...just pretended to trust.

“Stop thinking for yourself. Don't be an idiot around here. What do you have to talk about tomorrow?”

“So where are you going?”

"I'm going to take Pada home."

“And me?”

"Didn't you come by yourself? Come back by yourself."

“You left me to go home and send this kid off? You've gone above and beyond. The team still came, but when you left, why did you let someone else send you away?!”

“Pada had someone at home send it. And the people at home had gone back. Are you going to let him go home alone in the dark of the evening like this? It's a woman," P'Tack argued. My mood was even more deteriorating.

“Mother, woman. Very annoying.”

“Speak as nicely as you look. Learn to understand things around you. Going home alone at night is dangerous. I just volunteered to deliver.”

“Huh, I know I'll be back late. But still go out to travel Are you a woman of the night? The team still managed to come, and when they returned, they went out to find victims to take to their homes. And then what next? Let's go exercise at night." I realized what I had just said. But now it's really intolerable. Especially when it looks like it's about to cry.

P'Tack said that I was getting stronger. It made me worse as well.

“Hyukjae!! You've spoken too loudly. He just comes to hang out and watch movies like you. Seriously, are you not finished with the story of me giving my condo address to Pada? Are you angry at your mother? What are you doing? To the point of saying bad things to other people. Their looks are good, but their words and words are different. Each of my words

Probably like my own mind. Don't say dirty words like this to my little sister again.” Is there anything more painful than this? He says I have a dirty heart. Is my heart really that dirty? I was silent, looking painfully at the two people in front of me. But I can't be weak here. There's no way. Now people are starting to look at us suspiciously.

I saw that Pada's face looked like she was about to cry. But what is even more painful and resentful is Brother Taek is comforting him!

"Why are you crying, Pada? Are you scared? Or are you satisfied that I got scolded by P'Tak? Come on, don't pretend like this. It's disgusting..."

Phew!!

“P'Tack!” This isn't my voice. But it was Pada's voice calling out another person's name. When he...shut my mouth with that palm The palm that I think is always warm when I hold it. But now...why does the palm that I thought was warm suddenly hurt and sting like this?

"..." I remained silent as before. The apathy that had never been used before began to replace the feeling now. Maybe... Brother Taek is tired of being patient. Because he...has never slapped me in the face since we've been together.

I want to swing. I want to go in and beat another person to my heart's content. But...I don't want to hurt myself any more.

“Hyukjae..is…” I turned around and walked out of there. Two of them's place Didn't even look back. Even though the voice calling my name doesn't stop, “Hyukjae! Listen to me first, Hyukjae! You stop right there, Lee Hyukjae!!” walked out of there. I walked so far that I couldn't hear him calling.

A deep voice entered his mind. I don't know how many times I've been hurt. And I don't know how many times I've endured this pain. My whole body hurts, my whole heart hurts. Is it because I love him too much? It turned out that I was hurting like this. Or will you stop loving me? Even if it didn't hurt in any way, in the end I would still be hurt.

I have loved and cannot take that love back. Even death... definitely can't change my feelings.

::Taecyeon::

“Fuck you, Chan, have you seen Hyukjae?” I walked towards the two of them at the table under the faculty building. Today I have afternoon classes but I have to come early in the morning. Because Hyukjae has class in the morning. Since last night after I finished sending Pada off. I immediately called another person. But I could only wait for the call because the other party didn't answer. When I call often, I turn off the phone and run away. I want to talk to him

I want to clear things up about the mistakes I made with him. I admit that I was very angry when Hyukjae said all sorts of bad things about bringing Da out. But I had no intention of dealing with him like that. From the moment my palm hit my cheek, it was clear and red. Hyukjae kept his head still and didn't speak. It made me realize what I had done when I called out.

Hyukjae didn't even turn to look at him. And luckily, when I came this morning, my two dear friends were right there.

“What else is going on?” Nichkhun asked curiously. Maybe this one is too scary. know everything

“Don't ask yet. Please answer quickly.”

“Oh man, you probably saw the two of me sitting in our own faculty building. I heard news that Hyukjae is in the supervisory department. I don't live in architecture.” Nichkhun's response was very irritating. If you don't hurry and be considerate, the person next to you will make you even shorter.

“You go and bother him. I haven't seen it since morning. Probably because we had classes in the afternoon, Hyukjae didn't stop by.” The first sentence turned to Nichkhun. The next sentence turned and talked to me. Chansung, who answered, looked at him suspiciously. Don't force it with your eyes.

“What is it, Chansung, why are you looking at me?”

“I know very well.”

"I don't know."

“Tell me guys. What else is going on? Are you fighting again?” Nichkhun said in a harsh voice. Until I want to walk away right now These guys are dictators. Knowing this, I shouldn't have walked up to them.

"...Pressure hard. Oh, you can tell me, but...promise me first that you won't stomp on me."

“Be quick, so I can help,” Chansung said.

“...I...slapped Hyukjae in the face...”

“What did you say?!” Two reasonably loud voices came together and became frightening after I revealed my foolish actions. I might actually die from this job.

“How...how could you do this?” Nichkhun gritted his teeth. It sounded like he was trying to calm himself down and not jump out and kill me first.

“I didn't mean to...Gu, I was just angry that Hyukjae spoke ill of Pada.”

“That's it, my father, slap me, slap me, slap me! Have you tried getting slapped? And most importantly...you slap it. You...the person he loves with all his heart. If you try to be like you, you get slapped by the person you love. How do you feel?!” Chansung stood up and shouted helplessly. Revealing another side that I haven't seen often for me and others who have started to take an interest in us.

It's not just other people who are shocked and scared by this aspect of their personality. I began to fear it too. That Nichkhun is cruel Met this guy. It can be said to be quite stupid.

“Letting me be brutal all alone is enough.” Nichkhun pushed Chansung to sit down as usual. “So what are you going to do? Have you called him yet?” Even though it's cruel, Nichkhun uses reason more than emotion. While Chansung uses only his emotions.

“Called but didn't answer and...turned off the phone.”

"It's appropriate. It's me. I'm going to come back and slap you so she won't remember that it's you." Chansung hugged him tightly. He emphasized on my mistake.

“So what will we do next?”

“I came to university early this morning. In case Hyukjae stops by to see you guys like he used to do.”

“As I said. I didn't see you stop by.”

“Why don't you go see the group?” Chansung said.

“I'm about to go, but I'll see you guys first. So I came to ask.”

“Then let's go to the Hyukjae group. I'll go with you too.” Nichkhun put things into his bag along with Chansung. After that, they brought me to the supervision committee. It's not too far from my group. I turned left and looked right. Turned three hundred and sixty degrees and still couldn't see Hyukjae.

“Are you coming to study today?” Chansung asked. When we looked together, we still couldn't find it.

“Ah, that's Hyukjae's friend.” Nichkhun pointed in the direction of a young man as tall as me. I looked at Hyukjae's friend and realized it was Choi Siwon. I want to say that I really hate him. Why? Because it's Hyukjae's close friend. Close friends since childhood The houses are next to each other.

The parents are close to each other in the sense that they are one family. Most importantly...he likes Hyukjae himself! Of which Hyukjae doesn't know.

“Hyukjae isn't with him.”

"How do you know? Go ask." Nichkhun didn't listen to me. Instead, he walked slowly towards that boy.

“I don't follow him. I'm not afraid he'll tempt the kid.” I turned to ask another person who didn't follow Nichkhun.

“I trust you and you.” I almost vomited at the mention of a name that was only addressed to the two of them. It's cute, but when I think of the image of him yelling at me just now, wow.

“Then you won't go with him. I heard the news about you."

"I hate that kid, you know that."

"If you're thinking about reconciling with your girlfriend, Just be a man and talk to the enemy.”

"reconcile? Who cares about my girlfriend? I'm just trying to adjust my understanding."

“Sun, let's go. If one day Hyukjae isn't here, you will be sad.”

“Where can it go? Hyukjae loves me that much.”

“Nothing is certain in life. Maybe...tomorrow Hyukjae will be gone.”

"You mouth what you're talking about, I'll slap you."

"Huh, you're still interested in him, right? Go ahead. In case he finds out I can go find Hyukjae." Chansung didn't wait for me to say anything and dragged me to follow him to the front of the building where Siwon and ' You're talking to each other.

"What's the matter?" Chansung asked. Nichkhun, standing face to face with Siwon's kid, that motherfucker - if you look carefully, he's shorter than him.

“Are you saying that I'm here, Taek?” Mom-Ng always knew. I think he can read people's minds.

"No, it's just a little criticism."

"I know I was born short. No need to repeat it."

“Hyung, Hyukjae's girlfriend came to see me. Is there something wrong? Or...are you going to break up with Hyukjae?" Watching him speak, his feet were itchy.

“This pervert boy. Are you thinking of stealing Hyukjae away from my friend? I dreamed of ten lifetimes.”

“Little brother. I'm not saying it because of it at all. Not cute at all.”

"My story"

“Stop looking at Nichkhun,” Chansung said jealously. Siwon looks at Nichkhun without batting an eye.

“Woah, you're so possessive.”

“Damn you. If it wasn't for my friend's issue, you would've been caught.” You've got a smart mouth, you Chansung bastard. I saw that the dog was still chasing and hiding behind Nichkhun.

“Shut your mouth,” Nichkhun turned and narrowed his eyes at him. “So, Hyukjae, are you coming to study today?” I calmly turned around and asked him again.

“Why are you fighting?”

“Please answer.”

“In the third floor classroom. Go find out which room yourself. Don't let me know what you've done to my friend. I won't let you meet Hyukjae again,” he said and walked away in the other direction. I followed them in disgust before being dragged by Mr. Chan and Mr. Chan to follow them to the third floor of the school building.

“There are a lot of classrooms. And what room is it in?” I complained, after searching many rooms and still not finding it. When I asked the boy there where Hyukjae was, Everyone was quiet and didn't pay any attention to me.

“I wonder if Hyukjae ordered him not to tell me where it was.”

“What are you so angry about?”

“Don't doubt what you already know.” Nichkhun looked at me seriously.

"Oh, I don't know if you guys are my friends or Hyukjae's friends. Oh my."

“It's good to be Hyukjae's friend,” Chansung said without arrogance. Oh, since when did I become a bitch?

“Stop talking, you guys. Let's find Hyukjae first.” It feels like Nichkhun will become the leader by default. The three of us entered that room and exited this room. Until finally there was one last room left.

“If this room doesn't exist anymore. I'm going to come and kick you, Siwon, you pervert.” I meditated in front of the room before sliding the door wide open. His eyes searched for Hyukjae's small, thin body.

“There you are.” Chansung, who saw him first, pointed to a corner of the room where a figure sat against a wall with a hat covering his face. I guess I'm sleeping. I walked in quietly. There were only four people in the room. And the four of them didn't even wake the other person who was sleeping. Because I ordered it before they left this room. It's just me and my friend left.

“Why are you all so quiet all of a sudden?” asked the person who still didn't know anything. Probably didn't really sleep.

“This…” Hyukjae sat up straight. The closed hat fell to the ground. His sentence stopped when he saw us in the room instead of his friends. “Hyung, Chan, Taek.”

“Why aren't you answering my phone?”

“I have nothing to talk about.”

“But I have it, so you should accept it.”

"subject? If you come after me and scold me again, stop right away. And I won't apologize.” Hyukjae immediately got up and put his things in his bag. Why does he think I'm going to come after him and scold him? Or have I always done that in the past? Why did Hyukjae keep his neck like this?

“Where are you going?”

“Go home, tired, lazy to study.” Hyukjae walked past me. But I blocked the way first. Hyukjae looked up at me. That made me clearly see the bruise on that smooth cheek.

“Does it hurt?”

“What do you want to hear?”

“Don't bother me yet.”

“Huh, someone with a bad personality like me. You have no right to be hurt.”

“Are you angry at me?”

"nothing"

“How can it be empty? He refused to look at me at all."

"My face is bruised. I can't look at it. I don't want you to look at it."

“I don't see any problem at all. You're always cute. But you won't look... because you're angry at me, right?" Why does it look like I'm begging Hyukjae? ...begging? Ah, I must be crazy.

“I'm never angry at the person I love. And you don't have to beg me like this. I'm not used to it. Just be the same Taek hyung." Hyukjae said with a smile on his face. But why do I feel that in his heart he is not smiling at all? He seemed tired and exhausted. Or are you sick?

“Are you sick?”

“I'm tired. I don't know what's wrong. I think I'll go home.”

“Then I'll send it for you.”

“No need to, you have class this afternoon. I'd better go home myself." With that, he walked out of the room without looking at me. But why...I felt a strange feeling of hollowness in my heart when I saw Hyukjae turn his back and leave.

“What is the matter?” Nichkhun asked.

“No, I'm just worried about it.”

“Did you see that?” Chansung suddenly asked. I'm confused by this question.

"what"

“How strong is Hyukjae's love? You hit him until his cheek was that bruised. Even if you're angry, you won't do it. If it were someone else, he would have yelled and hit back. But this is you. This time, will you know if you still love it or not? Don't answer me saying you don't know." He's trapping me. Chansung Mae-ng.

“...Just a little more. Only a little bit I will answer this question without hesitation.”

“All the time.” Chansung looked annoyed.

“Guys, let me give you a chance. But do you think...does time give you a chance? Don't let it be too long. Time never stands still. Only if it dies will it stop walking.”

“Chan, please tell me. Stop talking about things that make me think too much.”

“You idiot, you talk too much, I warned you. Come and tease me again.”

“Hahahaha, your cheeks are red.” Another one made me feel bad. When his face turns red, he's so cute. It shouldn't be...that Chan is lost.

“Shut up!” I continued to tease my little friend and refused to stop. It's fun.

“P'Tack,” the sound of my name calling stopped my fun. Before turning to look, oh, it's Siwon.

"What's up"

“My mother-in-law is the most terrible boyfriend.”

“Oh, this guy, do you want to die before you graduate?” I tried to attack him, but Chansung and Nichkhun locked me up first.

"I don't want to offend, but I want to scold and make my anger go away."

“What did he do to make you angry?” Nichkhun asked.

“...Aren't you thinking about sending Hyukjae off or something? Letting your own girlfriend go back on her own again It's good that Hyukjae brought the car today. Otherwise, I would definitely take a taxi back like last night...”

“Wait, what did you say just now?” I jerked myself away from my friend's grip and rushed towards the other person. What does that mean?

“Which part do you want?” You pester me too often.

“The back end” and I went crazy after it.

“Hyukjae took a taxi back last night, is that clear?” I don't know how to scold myself right now. Last night, I thought Hyukjae brought the car. I think he just wanted to find a way to win by leaving Pada to return and go with him. But there really isn't a return vehicle. And what about me...I went back and sent the other person away with a straight face.

But why didn't Hyukjae tell me?

“You are really terrible. It's a pity that the love Hyukjae gave to you. Last night, if I hadn't accidentally gone out to buy something for my father. Hyukjae must have walked into the house. Next, if you're not available or don't want to come deliver it, just call me because I'm happy to do that duty for you.” Siwon finished speaking before walking to pick up his bag and leaving the room.

Hyukjae's house went into another alley. which taxis will not be able to enter inside That must have caused Hyukjae to walk in. The distance is not close.

"...In the end, the bad person is me..."

“By the time I realized it, it was too late.” Nichkhun walked over and patted my shoulder softly before walking out with Chansung who just smiled at me. It would be better if Hyukjae was a bit angry and scolded me, but this isn't the case. Hyukjae spoke to me as if nothing had happened yesterday. Smile at me like usual Don't swing that I won't send you.

It doesn't have an effect that annoys me. I'm not used to it. I'm really not used to it.

Too Late

“Nichkhun, you are confused,” Taecyeon's tall, slender figure shouted to his friend from afar. The owner just raised his head to look and then looked down and went back to reading his book without any care.

“What are you shouting about?” Chansung said as soon as Taecyeon reached the table under the big tree next to the faculty building. Today the three of them had morning class. In a few minutes it will be time for class.

“Have you seen Hyukjae?” He arrived and immediately asked for someone else.

“What are you two arguing about? Do you have a lot of free time?” Nichkhun exclaimed indignantly. What's the point of fighting every day like this? Are you having fun or are you fighting?

“Listen to me first. I didn't quarrel. But because Hyukjae has gone somewhere, I don't know. It's been a week since I haven't seen Hyukjae. Having said that...since that day when I went to see Hyukjae he was in the group. The next day, it came for a short time and then returned. And after that, I rarely saw it again. Plus it doesn't go back to the condo. Mom-What should I do? I'm worried. I..."

“Wait a minute, come on for a long time. Did you call him yet?” Nichkhun stopped him before his tall friend could go on a rant. Starting to know the answers to the questions I've asked before.

“At first I called and talked. But just for a moment. Because Hyukjae likes to say he's running errands. I don't know what the hell is going on. I won't tell you, but... lately we've barely talked. Turn off the phone and disappear." Taecyeon complained, making both friends unable to help but smile. “What the fuck is wrong with that smile?” Taecyeon couldn't help but wonder. People who are serious come to smile. You'll get hit quite a bit.

“Don't you know? I think you're starting to show symptoms."

"symptom? What are your symptoms, Nichkhun?”

“What is love like?” Chansung said, moving closer to his tall friend.

“..." He was immediately stopped and silent. I don't know how I've behaved these past few days, but what I do know is that he's very upset that he hasn't met another person. I'm so annoyed that Hyukjae just disappeared. I feel bad. It hurts every time I accidentally think about what happened to the other person. Or does he really know his own heart? But will it be?

It might just be a general mood. People who have always been together and suddenly disappeared. There are some who will complain like this. It must be like that.

“What, are you denying your feelings to yourself again?” Nichkhun said knowingly.

“Dammit, I'm really scared. You can read people's minds, right?” Sometimes Taecyeon secretly thought that Nichkhun must not be an ordinary student. Or will this story be a period fantasy?

“What bullshit are you? I don't read people's minds. But I can read people's faces. You...just frown and I'll make a normal face. If you don't argue with yourself, you're crazy."

"Well, you've scared me many times."

“As much as you guys are off topic,” Chansung interrupted.

"Oh, that's right. What should I do? Do I want to go see Hyukjae at home?"

“Ah, but there have been many days where you haven't seen Hyukjae. I saw it went with Siwon.” Just Nichkhun mentioned this kid's name. Taecyeon almost immediately disappeared towards him.

“Damn Siwon, you really want to take Hyukjae away from me, right?”

“Oh, that's right. I've seen Hyukjae clinging to his arm tightly. I don't know when, but recently. That kid also hugged Hyukjae. Don't know what you've done? Look tired and exhausted. Plus...it's all over Hyukjae's body.” The more he listened, the angrier Taecyeon became. The reason he disappeared must have been because he did something ugly to that kid.

Your mouth says you love only him. In the end, it's no different from the promiscuous people around here. Indiscriminate slut ...Just a little more and you'll be able to love without regret. Why? Why did Hyukjae betray his feelings like this in the middle of the show?

“Hey, don't think too much. It might not be like that.” Nichkhun saw his friend's expression and hurried to mediate. while giving a giant smack to Chansung who said something without thinking.

“Oh, that's right. I'm just saying what I see. But really, there's nothing more to it than that.” Chansung also started to speak. When I just realized what I had just said.

“You don't have to make any excuses. I will believe it when I see it with my own eyes.”

“Uncle Taecyeon! Brother Nichkhun, Brother Chansung,” a voice shouted his name from far away from a female junior in the group. When he ran up to him, he gasped a lot. It was so hot that Chansung had to give him water to drink.

"calm down"

"What's wrong? You've woken up." Nichkhun asked as soon as she had stopped panting.

“It's...hyukjae hyung. Hyukjae...”

“Hyukjae? Hyukjae, why? Tell me!” It turned out to be another person who was impatient. Just hearing this name makes me want to know everything.

“Hyukjae hyung slapped an unknown girl in front of the Faculty of Communication Arts building. Hyukjae's friend went to stop him and he didn't stop. I see that you should be able to stop him. So I hurriedly followed you..." I didn't have time to catch my breath. Taecyeon immediately ran to the supervisory department. along with two friends and another junior

::Taecyeon::

I ran to the Faculty of Communication Arts building as soon as one of the juniors told me what had happened. I'm angry at Hyukjae for what I heard from Chansung's mouth. I have enough reasons. You will believe it when you see it with your own eyes.

“Hyukjae!!” I ran and stopped at a group of people who were watching my boyfriend hit someone. What is certain is that that person did not defend himself or respond in the slightest. And when I looked closely... “Pada!!” I rushed in to stop Hyukjae from hitting Pada. But it jerked away from me and tugged at Padama's hair.

“It's good for you to come, Brother Taek. You'll find out soon. That my younger sibling is my closest friend. How do you plan to arrest a close senior like you? Believe me, it's not as innocent as you seem!” Hyukjae pinched Pada's hair until her face fell. The younger girl had tears streaming down her cheeks in fear. She looked at me pitifully. Why? Why did Hyukjae hurt her like this?

“What happened?” Nichkhun and Chansung, who had just arrived along with the junior, asked.

“Huh, you can see for yourself.” They looked after me. I know that Hyukjae has a bad personality. But I didn't think...that it would be this bad.

“Hyukjae, why did you do that?” asked Nichkhun, who was still smiling mischievously.

“I have the right to protect my loved ones. I don't know where I left the slut. It's good that you guys have come. Brother Chan, you will be here as a witness for me. That he thought he was going to steal my girlfriend. Seeing his clear face, I didn't think he could be this bad!!”

“That's enough, Hyukjae!! I'm telling you to stay, my junior. Stop talking bad to others. How many times have you used only your emotions to make decisions? How many times have you gotten into a fight with someone else? I wouldn't be in any trouble if the person you were hurting wasn't my junior. The younger generation that I love and care for like a real sister.”

“Uncle Taek, you're taking sides with him.” Hyukjae's voice was getting harder and harder. Let me tell you, right now I'm exhausted. I think that from now on, Hyukjae won't bother anyone again. I think Hyukjae should be able to change himself. But this isn't the case. It used to be like that. No matter how bad your habits are, they're still as bad as before.

Plus it's worse than before. The person I love isn't like this. Hyukjae, the person I love doesn't hurt other people like this.

“Yes, I side with Pada. Because Pada isn't fighting you. It's only you who hurt you. Even if Pada likes me, so what? Since I don't love Pada more than my sister. Even if Pada loves me to death If in the end I don't love you, then I don't love you. Only people with bad personalities like you can think like this. Enough for once.

Stop messing around with Pada. Can you please stop bullying her, Hyukjae? I'm starting to get really tired. I'm really starting to get tired of people like you.” I went in and pulled Daeo away from Hyukjae. She cried a lot. I don't know because it hurts that my body was hurt. Or is it that my heart has been ravaged by the rude words of someone around here? “Anyone.

Take Pada out of here first. And whoever is not concerned with this Get the fuck out of my head!!” I shouted at the people watching until they all dispersed, leaving only me, Nichkhun, Chansung, Hyukjae and him! Siwon, that reinforced Chansung's words very well. Hyukjae looked at me with an angry face.

But why did I suddenly see a weak look in Hyukjae's eyes? No, people like him are never weak. Hurt others and destroy them like that. Tenderness probably never existed.

“I think let's go talk somewhere else.” Nichkhun led the way to the old grass field behind the Faculty of Communication Arts building, which was not too far away, but few people had come in. Hyukjae is supported by someone else that I hate. So I pulled him out of that hug and into my hug instead. It was shaking its body like it was disgusted. Heck, it wasn't just him who was disgusted. But I'm really disgusted.

“I'm hurt, let me go.” His voice was low as if he was suppressing his emotions.

"Why are you angry that I hurt you? Are you very resentful? Hmm?"

“Huh, angry. Angry at myself for always forgiving you.” I remained silent, looking at Hyukjae's face as if I had absorbed that face into my memory. I secretly looked at its body. A smooth, clear face that previously always had the color of the blood of a healthy person But now he was frighteningly pale, and red spots appeared on his arms, legs, and neck in every area of ​​his skin. The animal that was following me quickly pulled the collar of my shirt closed and shook itself away from me.

"What's blocking those marks? Mosquito bites? Or...people bite them?" I turned my eyes to look at Siwon who was looking at Hyukjae with a worried expression. He must be afraid that I'll catch him. That they secretly went to commit adultery!

“Don't worry about me. You can stop paying attention to me.”

"What? What are you upset about? Are you upset that I protected my little sister? Hyukjae...how long are you going to act like this? Aren't you tired? Who only wants to bully other people all over the place.”

“Are you tired?”

"...Yes, I'm tired."

“Is it a lot?”

“...Huh, I've been like this for a long time. A person like me can't change anything. If you're bored, go find someone who loves you. That's Padaap Sai. It's waiting for you. If you're really annoyed, break up with me...and go find him."

“Can we not be sarcastic? I'm starting to really not be able to stand it.”

“If you can't stand it....then break up with me. Go find your whore. Here, I'm giving you the opportunity to choose. A quiet pada suits you well. You will be able to reminisce sweetly all day and all night.”

“Stop talking bad like this, you guys. Grow up already. You said that rhinos are quiet. Who exactly is like that? Look at those marks. Huh. Where did this bastard go? Hell or heaven? Looking at his body, he looked like he was exhausted. How many times have you lost yourself? Are you satisfied yet? If you say that Padarad is silent who wants to steal me away from you.

So people who play love with someone other than their lover ...I'm a slut.” Right now I don't care what he's going to say. I was angry that no matter what I said, Hyukjae just looked at me with blank eyes. Hyukjae didn't even deny my words. That confirms that everything I said is true.

And it disgusts me. in its shameless actions Do I love it too slowly or does my heart change too quickly?

::Hyukjae::

...if you're going to die

What will you do before...you leave?

...if I'm going to die

I will do everything for the person I love. ...lost every feeling in me

I felt like I was falling down every second that someone else said that sentence. But all I could do was stand still. Looking at him who still let words hurt me countless times. Don't reveal your weak side. Don't act like you're in pain. Don't even go in and beg another person to stop saying hurtful things to me.

Because it's something I've always thought was good. Won't let it fail. If I want to be selfish one more time Only one more time...

“It's true,” P'Tack repeated his own words. I will not ask for any excuses at all. Let him think like this. Let it be like this. Good...for the two of us

“Hyukjae, you tell me it's not true. You love him alone, right?” he said to me. I turned to look at him before shaking my head and just smiling. Smile that you think that you will remember it in your feelings. I myself am starting to get tired. I want to end this problem quickly. Before my weak side comes out

“Hyung, you've always been nice to me. I love and respect you very much. But...let's just let it be like this.” I'm begging you, sir. Just say 'OK'. Just say this and I'll forget what you said to me.

“Anyway, I still don't believe it.” Your brother was still firmly in his feelings.

“True is true. It was he who cheated on me. Slut goes to find someone else. The person who once said that he loves me like that, loves me like this. In the end, it's no different from anyone else. You stop believing in your own feelings, Nichkhun. Hyukjae...the person you used to love is no more. The person who once said he loved me is dead.

Die with my feelings. In the past, what you guys have known, experienced, felt... was just a lie and a deception. It's only for people named Lee Hyukjae.” Say it again, say it more forcefully. Damn it to hurt more than this. This is still not enough. It's still not enough for the feeling. Make me hate you. But...probably why? Because I...never stopped loving him.

"I don't believe it myself," P'Chan said, emphasizing his feelings. I feel pain in the left side of my chest. Don't trust me. You guys are making me suffer. Don't make me remember you guys. Don't make me stop loving and feeling good for you.

“Brother, Brother Chan. I can't make you guys stop trusting me. Then...please remember me in your hearts as well. Remember me, okay?" I felt my voice begin to tremble. Don't...don't come out. Tears that no one has ever seen

“Don't you talk like this. Don't talk like you're going to leave us.” Brother Chan frowned.

“No, please. I'm...not far away. I'm right next to you guys.” So I had to smile. Ah, I'm starting to get tired. I want to sleep now. “Brother Taek, I want to ask you something.”

“Have you ever loved me?” I saw him twitch. Haha. You probably know the answer, Hyukjae.

“Have you ever felt good about me?”

“Have you ever trusted me?”

“Have you ever given your heart to me?” Why does it hurt the more I ask? He chose to be quiet. Or would this be the best answer for him?

“Then...tell me your feelings right now. Can you please let me hear you?” I asked, just wanting to know, wanting to emphasize something. We are all silent It was your elder brother who looked at Brother Taek with a sullen expression. I want to continue looking at them like this. Siwon came and hugged me.

“Hyukjae, I admit that at first I never loved you at all. I've never felt good about you. But as the days passed I started to only look for you, follow you, but I still can't tell you how I feel. Until today..." Tell me that you hate it. Tell me you don't love me. “The feeling that began to form It broke down from this moment. Where there's you and someone else who isn't me, we'll break up.

These words will be good for both you and me..." Just seeing that look in his eyes, he knew that P'Tack was. How much do you hate me? The words I've been waiting for a long time A breakup word that doesn't break up in my feelings But I don't regret it. It's good to have it like this. It's good with him. Before P'Tack's feelings become even more intense. Please let it end here.

“Dammit, you! Come back and make amends first. Tell Hyukjae that you were just joking.” Yelling at another person to do as he says. With P'Chan supporting him. But before the brothers went any further...

“Brother Taek...even if you lose your feelings for me. But...I feel the same love for you as I always have. I love you, Taek." Taek was still but didn't turn around. I could only smile. A smile that was only for Taek and he had never seen it before. Then P'Tack continued walking. Don't even turn to look. Brother Chan, you too only smiled at me before following Taek.

“Let it out. Keeping it is uncomfortable,” said Siwon, who was still hugging me. His embrace tightened, it was warm and safe. Just a gentle voice saying The tears that had been suppressed flowed out. There are no more strong people left. From now on there will be no more vicious people like me.

“It would be good for me to stay in your memory for just a moment,” I said to someone else who couldn't hear it.

dripping

dripping

“Hyukjae! Hyukjae..." Under the feeling Instead, I could only hear the voice of my dear friend Siwon. Then suddenly the sound disappeared...

-2 months and 21 days-

“Dammit, you can just sit here and be speechless. I'm tutoring you with a book. If you don't listen carefully to your mother, you'll fail the final exam. And this time you can't criticize me,” said Nichkhun, who shouted in the face of his friend who had been sitting blankly for an hour. This doesn't just happen. But after that day The day I walked away from someone else Taecyeon is not the same.

You could say it's the same as before, just as cold as before. Plus even more.

“I'm sorry, I've been reading a lot lately, so I'm tired.” Taecyeon, who was conscious, patted his face lightly to get rid of the feelings just now and turned back to listen intently to his friend. “Start, you don't have to start over. na,” Taecyeon said when Nichkhun didn't start tutoring him.

“If you can't forget Hyukjae, just tell me. Don't act like this. I saw it and my eyes closed.”

"I never remember. Don't mess around. Do you want to tutor me? If you don't tutor me, I'll come back." It's like this every time. Whenever I ask like this, I get angry and always retreat to the house.

“Lying to us, you can lie, but in your heart... you can't survive lying to death.” Taecyeon gave his friend a confused look before gathering up his things and turning around, but...”

wad!

“Excuse me!” The young man bumped into a small woman passing by. He hurriedly bent down to pick up the help of a young girl who was probably his junior and handed it to her.

“I'm sorry...oh Pada!” Taecyeon was quite stunned when he met his junior. Since that day Pada disappeared and never contacted him again. I thought that she would be so shocked and afraid that she wouldn't dare come here again.

"Ph...P'Tack" She seemed very shocked to see him.

“What, surprised to see you? So what's the big deal?"

"Oh...no? It's nothing. Pada is just happy to see P'Tack." She smiled at him.

“So where have you gone? Since the day she was attacked She didn't even let me see her face." She was so quiet that I had to nudge her.

"Oh, that's... taking Da on vacation."

“Like this, I think she was afraid that someone would hurt her and quit.”

“Pada just wants to rest. There is nothing scary.”

"But she was attacked."

“Pada is willing.”

“Look, say, where is this going? Do you want me to give you a ride? I'm free." Taecyeon said, turning to look at the group of friends who were already watching.

"You act like you're going to flirt with Pada like that."

“Well, if it were you. I'll give it a try." Taecyeon said nonchalantly. The girl seemed even more shocked when her senior said something.

“Pada loves you like a brother.”

“Well...Hyukjae said that we love you like a lover.”

“...Not anymore. Pada loves you like a brother. Pada didn't dare think any more of this brother. You're so easy to fool."

“I think so. You love me just like a sister. But he's the one who's stupid. So it caused her to get hurt.”

"P'Tac"

“What?” The girl was silent before walking towards the table where Nichkhun and Chansung were sitting. Taecyeon also followed and sat beside him confusedly.

“Is there something you want to tell me?” Taecyeon asked again.

"It's... taking Dami like he wants to confess."

"...Just say it..."

::Taecyeon::

"...Just say it..." I answered when Pada had something to say. But she remained silent. It's like I don't know where to start.

“Do you guys know? Why did Pada get slapped by Hyukjae hyung?”

“Because he has a bad personality. Find trouble all over the place." I accidentally said. So you slapped me. I also want to confess. That he still misses Hyukjae, never forgotten, his sullen face has never truly disappeared.

“No, because Hyukjae hyung loves Taehyung very much.”

"Love? You wouldn't do this."

"And do you guys know anything..." Pada's voice suddenly softened. She kept her head down. I felt her body trembling. I tried bending over to look.

“Why are you crying, Pada? Or...Hyukjae has done more to you!” I grabbed her and made her look up. She cried even harder.

“Silly Brother Taek, you really don't know anything, right?”

“And what do you know?” Ai Chan couldn't bear to ask.

“...before the day he was attacked. Brother Hyukjae came to see Pada. Hyukjae hyung came to Pada to help with the drama that he was attacked by Hyukjae hyung..." I started to feel strange. When Pada said it, his voice trembled.

“Why would Hyukjae do that?” you wonder, and I wonder.

“To make Brother Taek hate him even more.”

“It's crazy. Who would act to make the people they love hate each other?” You shouted.

"...Why does making you hate me cause something to happen?"

"So that you won't be upset if you're in love with him."

“What do you mean?” Why do I feel strange pain? It feels dizzy, like I'm falling from a high place.

“...AML...”

“What is it?” I asked, when Pada said some English letters that didn't provide any clarity.

“...acute myeloid leukemia...”

“..." Everyone was silent now. Just the word leukemia means that only a small percentage of people who have it will survive. But the silence isn't because I'm confused about the disease. But I'm thinking about who it is. But for me, I'm denying in my heart that it's definitely not who I think it is. If so I probably won't forgive myself.

“...Hyukjae's brother has leukemia. He just realized that he was. A few weeks ago that he often disappears It's because I need treatment…” I felt like I had ice thrown on my face. It's numb to the core. Can't say anything But what I can still feel is my heart. Right now...it's squeezing until I can hardly breathe and the pain is excruciating.

“Tac you,” Nichkhun called out to me in a trembling voice, with Chansung looking like he was about to cry. That made me even more upset. Turning back to Pada, who was crying more than before. It was even more of a reminder of what I had heard. It's true! I'm getting ready to run. To go to Hyukjae's house But the next sentence almost made me collapse on the spot.

“Hyukjae hyung has no more than three months to live.”

“Tack, get up. Get up now. Then go find Hyukjae!!” Nichkhun came to help me up. Before pulling me towards the car with Chansung pushing me along. I don't even have the strength to stand. I...made a mistake, right?

Until one day you left me

And I don't care about anything.

E family house

As soon as the car stopped in front of a house, I quickly got inside. I only begged God not to let it be too late. Give this bad person time. Making excuses for that person...that I love.

“Guys, let me give you a chance. But do you think...does time give you a chance? Don't let it be too long. Time never stands still. Only if it dies will it stop walking.”

I still remember this sentence. What Nichkhun said It keeps reinforcing me now. Only if it dies will it stop walking. Afraid...now I'm completely afraid. I'm afraid it will be too late.

“Why did you come?” Siwon came out and blocked my way. Don't let me into the house.

"I'm going to find my lover."

“I can say that, I heard that you broke up with him. Wouldn't it be a little selfish to claim that someone else is your lover?"

"I don't want to waste my time arguing with you. Run away. I'm going to find my lover!!" I shouted back. But it still stood the same. You and Chan, who had just followed, looked at Siwon blankly. But it still maintains the same posture.

“Hyukjae, he doesn't want to see you. Now he's happy without you. Why are you coming back?”

“Then why didn't you tell me that Hyukjae was dying?!” Siwon looked at me. He seemed a little stunned that I knew this.

“How do you know?”

“How to know is not important. But the important thing is that I'm going to go see Hyukjae. I'm going to make amends. I'm going to apologize. I'm going to ask for reconciliation..."

“Do you think that time lost can be returned?” Siwon looked down at the ground. I saw water flowing out. before he lifted his head to stop the tears from flowing again.

“What do you mean?” Please don't say that sentence.

“...Hyukjae, he's gone. He's gone from us! Did you hear that!!”

“Ugh...wha...what day?” I could hardly speak. You who couldn't stop crying were held by Chan while he said comforting words. But me...I also want to hug and comfort someone on a painful day like this. while someone else has to suffer from a terrible disease But I...all I could do was sit there and not understand anything at all.

“Yesterday” just reached out I will get to say goodbye to someone else. But this would be punishment for a bad person like me. that even time cannot stop and wait

“...Hyukjae, he loves you very much. I don't know how many times I've been hurt by your words. But it never showed. It keeps saying I won't let anyone see me as weak. Because if so It will not be able to maintain its love. Because I'm afraid that someday I'm going to throw it away. Until the last day It still calls out to you. We've already broken up. He still loves you.

Or even allowing yourself to be hated by the person you love, it will happen. If you just realized it now. Can you please pretend to forget what you just heard...”

"no! I haven't forgotten anything. My feelings are mine. Even if Hyukjae doesn't recover, I won't forget him. If this is punishment for people like me I want to remember Hyukjae in my heart forever.”

“You are selfish.”

“I would like to selfishly let Hyukjae know. that I still haven't forgotten it.”

“Huh, I just found out when he was gone. What will it gain except the soul?”

“Got love from Hyukjae. It's me...I've always gotten it.” Siwon just smiled. before handing over the mobile phone

“Hyukjae got love from someone he didn't love. and not getting love from the person he loves ...But what about my love that gave it away? Not equal to yours Take good care of it. And this...it recorded a video for you on the day you found out. All the truth is in it. Is there anything left for you to believe?” That's all he said before walking back to his own home.

“If you tell me to believe it, I will believe it, Hyukjae.” I gripped my phone tightly. It's really too late. It's too late for this person.

“Who is this? Hyukjae's friend?” A middle-aged woman's voice asked. When they saw us, ah, that's Hyukjae's mother. We immediately walked towards him.

“It's me, Mom.”

“Taek...baby.” Hyukjae's mother came and hugged me while crying. I felt like my mother was hugging me very tightly but I didn't feel uncomfortable at all. It suddenly warmed up again.

“Mommy, please don't cry. Seeing this makes me want to cry too.” I wiped away his tears. I'm really going to sing.

“He shouldn't have a short lifespan. You know...Hyukjae only calls for Tae. Every time I go home He would talk about his child to his father and mother every day. He said he loves Taek very much. Until his father and mother had to tease him that Hyukjae didn't love his father and mother anymore. He said he loved me. But his Taek hyung...is a special person..." I could only smile even though I was crying inside.

I want Hyukjae's mother to be strong. So I have to be strong as a friend.

“I also love Hyukjae. Hyukjae is my special person. From now on, I will ask to come to Hyukjae's room. Will I get it?”

“...but he”

“Even after death However, his feelings still hadn't disappeared. It's like my heart that didn't die after its owner.”

“If that's the case. Please feel free.”

“Thank you. Thank you for letting me love Hyukjae.” Thank you for everything for a bad person like me.

“Mom thanks Taek too. I love you, my child.”

"And this...father?"

“Go to the cemetery, you should be there by now.”

“Then I would like permission to go to Hyukjae's room.”

“Let's go.” Mother patted my shoulder gently. before disappearing into the kitchen

“You guys can go back first, Chan. You guys can go back. I want to be alone.” I smiled at them.

“You don't have to smile. Come with me to the cemetery tomorrow.” He pointed at me before going back out with Chan. Once they were out of sight I slowly walked up to Hyukjae's room. I just want to absorb his feelings more.

As soon as he entered the room, he went straight to the bed that was still neat and tidy as usual. It was as if he was waiting for his owner to return.

“You're here. Hyukjae is waiting for you, right?” I said something I had never said to Hyukjae. Represent yourself as elder and call someone else's name. I just feel like he's still close to me. Feeling warm, like being hugged with longing I feel my heart pounding like I'm being told I love you with a caring heart.

“I love Hyukjae. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I just found out. I'm sorry that I never trusted you before, never told you I loved you, or never did anything good for you. I will remember Hyukjae here. In your heart...forever.” I smiled as the air fluttered around me. I picked up the phone that was recording Hyukjae's video and watched him lie down on the bed.

“Today I went for a physical examination. I just felt uncomfortable. I have a fever too. But do you know what the doctor said? It's leukemia. Acute myeloid type, hahaha, which...chance of survival is very small. Ah, don't be alarmed just yet. I will definitely go quietly…”

The people in the video smile. before it goes off I opened another one.

“...Come for treatment. I don't want to do it at all. Chemotherapy. My hair will fall out and it won't be cute. I really miss Brother Taek. I haven't seen you in a long time. But for P'Tack, the doctor said that if he kept doing chemotherapy, there would be a chance of recovery. If so...I'll stop doing it. Because I'm tired Looks stupid, right? Keek, because I know Taek's brother is probably tired too.

So I chose to walk away quietly. But I love you..."

The second video ends. I never get tired of watching like this.

“...Ah, look, you've got blotches. The doctor said it was a symptom of people with this disease. It was ugly, like a gecko. If P'Tack sees this, he definitely won't go near it. Plus his face is pale like this. Will Taek stop loving you? But it's good...you won't have to worry about me again..."

I can only go back to that day, the day we broke up. Because I misunderstood I think the marks are marks that Siwon made. I misunderstood what they had. I misunderstood that Hyukjae was cheating on me. And he didn't make any excuses. If crying is a weakness Then I'm really weak right now.

I don't know how many times to apologize. Let it be as good as I did with Hyukjae.

“...If you open it and see this video. This will probably be the last video before I leave....... Brother Taek is probably watching me, right? Haha. I'm ugly. Peek, peek... Did you know that since The day you broke up with me I have never regretted my decision. Siwon also told me to stop contacting him. It also says that

That day, I cried a lot. Then suddenly my nose bleeds and I pass out. And after that, we haven't seen each other at all.....I really want to go see your face, just, just, but...but I can't. Because the symptoms began to gradually deteriorate It really is...it's about time..” Hyukjae stopped talking and looked at the camera. Reaching out to hold the camera lens like that, “Phi Taek.

Please show your face. I really want to touch your face.” I brought my face closer. It felt like Hyukjae was touching my face. “I will miss this touch for a long time. ...I want you to be strong. If I knew the truth Even though I'm far away But my heart is still with you. The feeling is still in our room.

Don't be sad when I'm away. I just ran away to travel. Just a moment and I'll be back. I want you to wait. Will you wait for me? Just, just, oh, yah, I've been coughing a lot. Oh, there's blood too.............P'Tack. Are you listening to me? Please tell your brother. That I love you, don't forget me, P'Chan too. I want to tell you to take good care of your brother, I love you all.

There's no one to bother you. Don't be lonely. Do you understand? Hahahahahahahahahahaha, I really have to go now. ...............Hyukjae's good person Hyukjae loves Taehyung forever......" The last smile I saw Disappeared with the mobile screen turning black. And even if it goes out I still smiled at it like that. It's as if Hyukjae still sees the smile I sent you.

“...I must be lonely. No one has come to complain, to be upset, to fling, to find trouble nearby. Hurry and come back. Have a nice trip, Hyukjae. I promise you that I'll wait..." I said to the screen that had already turned off. The only thing that can clear up guilt I will wait for Hyukjae. I'll wait until we meet.

“...P'Tack's good person. Brother Taek will love Hyukjae forever too..." I just realized that the word 'too late' can cause this much suffering. A sentence that was never spoken, but when he said it, Hyukjae wasn't there to listen.

I don't have you to bother me like before.

There's only emptiness

So why do tears have to flow?

I don't want her to get over her anger.

But could you please come back?

Just understood..... I love you.

End

Opening a new story but not abandoning the old one yet.

There was a lot of bullshit at the beginning.

After this, Wright will be gone for a long time.

Ahhh, don't think that Wright will follow Hyukjae.

Wright is taking the university entrance exam.

Anyway, please help me wait a bit.

Then Wright will come back quickly.
