I didn't write it down but I wrote it on the occasion of my younger brother hugging me.

Wow, my parents and siblings came to see my boat *scream*

Baek Hwi

12:03 a.m.

The boy's footsteps were not loud enough to attract the attention of those around him who were admiring the New Year's fireworks, but even so, his small body The young boy bumped into several people and apologized frantically, and many strangers grumbled angrily at the loss of the opportunity to view the fireworks.

The scene in front of us changes from buildings to a public park. This place is much quieter than the city square. The young man slowed down, panting slightly as he let out a cool breath from his lipgloss coated lips. He used both hands to lean on his knees. Try to adjust your breathing.

He straightened up and looked up at the night sky that was now lit up with fireworks before the last one faded as the sounds of nature became quiet.

The boy saw a white light streak across the sky from one side to the other. He closed his eyes, smiled a little, and clasped his hands on his chest just in time before the meteor shower appeared.

'please...'

The young man made a wish for a moment. It was a wish that he had been praying for every year. He opened his eyes. The meteor shower had not yet ended. The young man looked left, then right, and then sat down on the grass. He looked at the forecast and said the meteor shower should appear for almost half an hour.

The boy used his eyes that were as bright as the stars in the sky to stare at the pitch black sky, his small lips letting out a good-natured smile before he began to hum a soft song. The young boy shook his head and closed his eyes. Sing a song from your feelings The lonely and depressing mood is hidden in the full sound until the hook.

               “Why am I alone 나를 둘러싼사람들 속에 (

Why am I lonely even though I'm standing among so many people...)”

               “Why am I alone 홀로 남겨진 지금 누군가 필요해  지금 누군가 필요해... (

Why am I all alone? The loneliness makes me need someone, I just need someone...)”

The sound of a stranger's song startled the boy. He quickly turned around to see a man smiling kindly, holding an acoustic guitar in his hand.

“Can I sit with you?”

“Yes?” The young man blinked and motioned for the stranger to sit with him.

"I was walking in the garden and heard you singing. At first I was afraid too, but your voice was really beautiful...so I snuck in to see who was singing." The stranger smiled narrowly. Cradling an acoustic guitar on your lap

“Ah…” The young man smiled sheepishly. “Did I scream loudly?”

“No,” the other party hurriedly denied. “But the garden is quiet. My name is Dongho.”

“Yes, Mr. Dongho, I am Daehwi.” The boy bowed his head politely. “Does Mr. Dongho know the song I sang?”

"yes

I need somebody

of Day6, I really like this song,” Dongho explained, “I like playing this group's songs at the store as well.”

“Shop?” Daehwi tilts his head to look at Dongho, laughs a little, and nods.

“Coffee shop. I opened a coffee shop on the corner of this street.”

“Wow…” Daehwi's eyes lit up, “I'm still studying. But if I graduate, I want to open a coffee shop.”

Dongho accepted and scratched his guitar. Daehwi sat and hugged his knees and asked.

“So what are you doing here now? Plus, you brought out your guitar?”

“Someone told me to come watch the meteor shower here, so I thought I'd come and play some music.” Dongho met Daehwi's eyes. He whispered softly, “What about Mr. Daehwi?”

“Let's go look at the stars too.” It was a younger boy who averted his eyes. Daehwi changed the subject, “Mr. Dongho, would you please listen to the song from just a few times?”

“Is that so? But my voice isn't that good,” the young man said with a laugh and started strumming the guitar. Daehwi closed his eyes. Swaying to the rhythm of the song, his deep, soft voice seems to hypnotize the listener into a trance.

The music suddenly quieted down and Daehwi opened his eyes. Your brows furrowed together when you didn't see anyone sitting next to each other like before.

“Mr. Dong…”

“Daehwi!” The voice of his fake brother called out and the owner of the name was startled. His face was as if the other party was walking towards him with a giant face: “Sneak in the garden alone again. The phone didn't answer. It's already very dark, Daehwi. If you see a criminal, what will you do?”

“Yongmin hyung...I already told you how to look at meteors in the city. You have to look at them in a quiet way.” Dae Hwi pleaded, giving him a sad look. Youngmin stopped and relaxed. He quickly became angry but still couldn't help but scold because he was worried.

“At least it would be nice to have Donghyun, Woojin or Woong as friends.”

“Donghyun hyung and Woong hyung did thesis and Woojin hyung also played games. I'm with my girlfriend. It's okay for me to come out alone.” The little man pursed his lips, “One more thing. I met Mr. Dongho just now too. It's not as dangerous as I said."

“Mr. Dongho?”

"Oh, but he disappeared before you came."

Youngmin didn't say anything else but complained to Daehwi again. The young boy just walked forward with a pout and followed his fake older brother back to the dorm. If you don't mind, look for the person you just talked to.

He didn't realize that the young man who was smiling a moment ago was now in a white suit and leaning on a large branch in a corner. The young man smiled fondly, spread his white wings and soared up into the sky. Only white feathers were left behind.

10:10 p.m.

Daehwi would have almost forgotten that Mr. Dongho if the young man hadn't appeared in front of his dorm right now. Moreover, Daehwi would have almost never met that Mr. Dongho if it weren't for Young. Min is talking on the phone with his girlfriend. Woojin and Woong play games and Donghyun goes to a 24-hour convenience store.

Because there was no one available to open the door, Daehwi had to be the sacrifice. But when he opened it and saw the person he had almost forgotten, Daehwi's eyes widened.

“Mr. Dongho?” The owner of the name looked a little shocked and then gave a kind smile like the first time they met. The young man bowed his head slightly.

“Is this Daehwi dormitory? I'm sorry to disturb you this late at night, but I just found this kitten meowing in a box in front of your dorm..." Dongho held up a cardboard box. Inside was a white-gray kitten, meowing softly. “I feel sorry for him. So I wanted to come and ask..."

“Who's here?” Youngmin shouted from inside the room. Daehwi turned around and shouted back.

“Mr. Dongho, who I met on New Year's…” Daehwi scratched his cheek, not knowing what to do next. Finally, he opened the door wide, “You come in first. Then we will decide what to do next.”

Dongho took off his shoes and followed the room owner into the dorm. Inside the dormitory, divided into neat rooms, Dongho found someone he thought might be Youngmin sitting on a long sofa. The invited guests bowed in greeting.

“Hello, I'm sorry to disturb you...” Dongho then briefly explained that he didn't intend to come see Daehwi (even though Youngmin looked at him with disbelief). Ending the explanation with an apology that during New Year's he left Daehwi without saying goodbye.

“It's okay.” Daehwi smiled, eyes closed.

“So what are we going to do with this cat?” Youngmin crossed his arms over his chest. “The person who threw this away is very cruel.”

“Can we raise him?” Daehwi asked. sparkling eyes Youngmin looked at the kitten curled up in the box and his brother's face and sighed.

"Fine, but you have to take responsibility."

“Alright,” Daehwi scolded.

“Uh...if I ask to help take care of you, will that be a problem?” Dongho asked. The tone is serious and firm. “Anyway, I was the one who found it. It might get ugly to put you in charge of it all.”

“It's okay to come,” Daehwi said.

“You don't have to,” Youngmin said.

The two brothers looked at each other and Yongmin frowned and his face darkened. Daehwi hugged her, her mouth pouting.

“Why can't Mr. Dongho come?”

“Then why are we bothering you?”

“Uh…” Dongho let out a small laugh. “I didn't bother you much. There might be some food bought in, taken to bathe, taken for a walk, something like that.”

“Hyung,” Daehwi picked up the kitten. “Will I have someone to help take care of me?”

Youngmin sighed heavily, never once being able to defeat this maknae.

“Alright, please give it to me.”

Dong-ho excuses himself to go home. Dae-hwi and Young-min argue over naming the cat. No one notices that the kitten is secretly looking bored.

11:15 p.m.

Inside Daehwi's bedroom (which he shares with Woong and Woojin), a young boy is sitting and playing with a kitten. Video chatting with Dongho for the past month Daehwi couldn't deny that he felt comfortable getting to know the coffee shop owner. Dongho was the kind of guy who took good care of others.

He never gets angry or uses force when he scolds Daehwi for playing too much. Dongho would be fierce in a way that Dae Hwi had to obey because he was poor for a reason.

As for Daehwi...if you say Dongho is an angel, Daehwi will believe it.

“(Please let me see Nong Jay's face, Nong Jay. Are you being naughty with Daehwi hyung today?)” Dongho waved his hand at the little kitten who was making a soft sound. Daehwi laughed and picked Jay up to sit on his lap.

“Ja eats a lot and plays a lot and has a lot of energy like you.”

“(Does Mr. Daehwi think I eat a lot too?)” Dongho laughed somewhat. “(Ah, but Jay eats this much. Will there be enough cat food this week? Can I stop by and bring it in again in the middle of the week?)”

“Wednesday is fine. I don't have class,” Daehwi answered cutely. “So are you free on Wednesday?”

“(Free, I'll bring in cat food for you...)”

“No.” Daehwi prayed for the light in the room to be a little brighter so Dongho wouldn't be able to see his bright red cheeks. “I want to invite you to see a movie.”

Dongho raised one eyebrow and nodded.

“(Are you going on a date?)”

“Mr. Dongho!”

“(You can go on a date. I don't see any problem.)” The older man laughed. “(Or are you shy?)”

“I'm not talking to you anymore!” Daehwi shouted, picking up Jay and kicking his legs at the camera, “Look!”

“(Oh, little Jay, don't hurt me.)” Dongho laughed happily. “(Please take the younger one down. I want to see your face more)”

Daehwi frowned as his eyes twinkled. young boy purses his lips But your cheeks are red.

“(OK, let's go see a movie on Wednesday).” Dongho smiled at the corner of his mouth, “(Nong Daehwi).”

"You don't have to call me a younger sibling."

“(Oh, but you're younger than me)” Dongho rested his chin on the screen. His eyes clearly showed affection. “(If you don't want me to call you Nong, what should you call me?)”

“I don't know.” Daehwi took the pillow and hugged it to his chest.

“(Can you call me hyung? Then I'll play the guitar for you.)” With that, Dongho picked up his old pro guitar and put it on his lap and started strumming, “(Shova Hamnida song?)”

“Uh huh.”

“(Call me older brother first)”

“Dongho hyung…” Daehwi replied softly. Bury your face into the pillow.

“(Daehwi-ah, please make your voice louder. I can't hear you)”

“Uncle Dongho, are you satisfied?”

“(Yes)” Dongho gave a meaningful smile through both his eyes and lips. "(I've sung, this time the song will definitely end)"

The sound of guitars and singing voices filled the room. Daehwi stared at his handsome face as if to inscribe it on his heart. The moment Dongho met his eyes, he responded.

At that moment, Daehwi's heart skipped a beat again.

02.16 a.m.

It was a rainy Thursday night due to a storm.

Daehwi cried all the way, which made the driver's heart almost burst into flames. Youngmin stepped on the accelerator even though there weren't many cars on the road. On the small Japanese car, Daehwi buried his face in Woojin's shoulder. I sobbed until I threw up.

An hour ago Dongho was on a video call with Daehwi as usual.

What was unusual was that Dongho was on the road.

Even though Dae Hwi warned him, Dong Ho said it was okay. He turned on the speaker and drove with the utmost caution.

And yes, the car crash... wasn't Dongho's fault. The image and last cry before the call ended are still vivid in the memory of Dae Hwi, the young boy anxiously telling Young Min. Luckily, the eldest brother regained his composure and immediately called an ambulance and took Daehwi to the hospital.

“Uncle Huek, Woojin hyung, Dongho hyung, will something happen to him?” Daehwi sobbed until his whole body was trembling. “If Huek were to become something bad, what would I do?”

“Daehwi, calm down,” Woojin soothed in a soft voice, even though he knew it was difficult. “Mr. Dongho is in the doctor's hands and it's okay.”

“Yes, we'll be at the hospital at the red light in front of us. Please take it easy.” Youngmin turned up the accelerator and soon the Japanese car was parked in front of the hospital. Dae Hwa suddenly opened the car door and ran into the building. Woojin immediately ran after his younger brother.

“I'm sorry,” Daehwi asked, wiping away tears. “Looking for Mr. Kang Dong Ho, who was in a car accident an hour ago. This is the number I called to inform you…” The nurse picked up the phone and slammed her hands down the keyboard. It didn't take more than a moment, but it lasted like an eternity. Dr for Daehwi The nurse looked up.

"I'm in the emergency room right now. The patient's relatives can wait in front of the room..."

Not yet finished listening to the story, Daehwi immediately ran away. Woojin hurriedly bowed his head to the nurse and followed his younger brother. Daehwi stood by the door and looked inside. Tears welled up and formed a thin curtain. Until the young man could hardly see anything.

“Daehwi...come sit here first.” Woojin supported his small body to walk to sit and wait in front of the emergency room. Daehwi lowered his head, used both hands to hide his face, and sobbed as Woojin rubbed his back to comfort him. Soon Youngmin followed in.

"How are you"

"The doctor told me to wait."

Youngmin nodded, feeling stressed. Sit down next to Daehwi. He reached out and held a small hand that was trembling.

04.04 a.m.

Daehwi woke up when he felt someone tapping a finger on the boy's forehead. He didn't seem sleepy. His subconscious made him look at the emergency room door that was still closed. The boy was about to cry again.

“Daehwi”

The owner of the name turned around and those eyes widened. Dongho, who should be in the hospital waiting for a surgeon, is now in a white suit. Hair that should have been black was bright with blonde hair. The young man leaned against the wall. His face looked serious.

“Hyung...Dongho?” Daehwi tried to get up to go find him but found that his body couldn't move. Daehwi opened his mouth to wake Youngmin and Woojin but his voice disappeared.

“You must be wondering...what happened?” Dongho sighed heavily. Walking towards Daehwi, he noticed that behind the young man was a pair of white wings, and following Dongho... was Jay. The cat he raised

Daehwi looked at the person in front of him with confusion.

“Do you remember your New Year's wish?”

'please...'

“I have come to make your wish come true.”

“..." Daehwi's eyes widened, Dongho let out a sad smile.

“But no one sent me...I'm just a stupid angel. who listened to his prayers year after year until he became suspicious I went to investigate your history. I know you need love because you're lonely. The older brother in the dorm isn't your real older brother, no matter how good he is, it's not like real family...”

Daehwi is in tears.

“I came to fulfill your wish... because I fell in love with a child who was kind to others, a child who was kind to the world. But God never listened to his voice.”

The audience closed their eyes and a single tear rolled down their cheek.

“But I have to go back...go back and accept the punishment for doing what I wanted.”

Daehwi shook his head and began to cry hard, but no sound came out.

"Sorry...sorry I couldn't stay longer."

Dongho's lips fell on Mon Dae Hwi's forehead, sobbing. He didn't dare open his eyes because he couldn't bear to watch the other person's image dissolve before his eyes.

08.11 a.m.

Daehwi woke up when sunlight pierced the curtains and woke the young boy with his hands on his head. He had a headache for no reason. The young man got up and took a shower, washed his face and eyes, and then had to massage his eye sockets, which were swollen and bruised for no reason.

“Daehwi, finish taking a shower and go…” Youngmin’s voice trailed off. But Daehwi heard the eldest brother mumbling. “Have we ever had a cat in our dorm?”

Daehwi comes out of the bathroom wearing casual clothes.

“What is there to eat today, bro?” The young man moved his chair to his position and picked up a fork and spoon to get ready, “America breakfast?”

“Oh, today Donghyun made fried eggs and sausage,” Youngmin responded. Donghyun brought a plate and placed it for the younger sibling as he greeted him.

“Daehwi, did you have a nightmare last night? Why are your eyes swollen like that?”

“No, brother…” The young man smiled wryly. “But it feels tight. The chest is the same. I don't know what's wrong.”

“I had a bad dream and don't remember it,” Woojin said, shoveling a fried egg into his mouth.

“You need to get some rest, Daehwi-ah,” this time it was Woong who spoke up. "Even though you're not my real younger sibling, we care about you."

“Yes…” Daehwi let out a smile, his heart feeling relieved for no reason. “I am worried about you guys. For example, Woojin's brother plays games a lot. Please get some sleep and watch your eyes.”

“Oh, why are you looking at me?”

“Because you're addicted to games.” Then Daehwi laughed brightly. I devoured my entire breakfast and the meal was filled with laughter and happiness.

But deep down, Daehwi felt that something wasn't right.

On the tree next to the dormitory appeared the body of someone who was invisible to the general public, with a pair of torn white wings. Feathers flutter with the wind. The young man leaned against the trunk, breathing heavily. One hand caressed the fur of a sleeping kitten on her thigh.

A happy smile appeared on the man's face.

             EPILOGUE

09.54 a.m.

Daehwi ran past the people passing by. The boy picked up his pace when he saw that it was getting late. It was the day he had an interview for a part-time job. Daehwi stopped in front of a small coffee shop. Arrange your clothes and hairstyle and open the door. The bell jingled and the melody of a familiar song rang out.

               “Why am I alone 홀로 남겨진 지금 누군가 필요해  지금 누군가 필요해... (

Why is my loneliness making me want someone? I just need someone...)”

"hello"

A blond man wearing casual clothes with an apron on his hips looked up from the counter, his eyes wide with a grin.

“Here you are, Daehwi... I'm Kang Dongho, nice to meet you.”
