'Parting to meet again...'

Owen :D

Kyungsoo lost Jongin in an accident one night...

That night, after his classmates' end-of-year party ended, Jongin volunteered to take Kyungsoo home.

If I could turn back time...Kyungsoo would refuse to let Jongin do what he wanted.

If he could turn back time...he would reject the other person in order to preserve Jongin's life. He would refuse so that the event that was his worst nightmare in this life would not happen and haunt him every night.

That night, each minute that passed was extremely difficult. Baekhyun and Chanyeol were the ones who were not far away. I still remember Baekhyun using those slender fingers to gently wipe away the tears that were streaming down his face while gently telling him that everything would be fine. But now

At that moment, Kyungsoo had no idea how things could get better. When Jongin was still lying there without breathing. And there's no turning back...

“Baekhyun, it's my fault...it's my fault, I made Jongin have to be like this.”

“No, Do Kyungsoo, it's not your fault. Don't blame yourself.”

Chanyeol watched his two friends hugging each other in front of the ICU with red and hot eyes, one person constantly blaming himself. The other person tried to hold back every word of self-accusation so that his voice could shake, and the tears on Kyungsoo's face made warm water droplets flow from Chanyeol's eyes. more

After learning that Jongin would never see them again, Kyungsoo blamed himself for everything like this. And the minute everyone was in a fragile and weak state... especially Kyungsoo, Baekhyun seemed to be the strongest person. But Chanyeol knew that behind his strength, the other party still had tears welling up in his heart no less than them.

After the day of the funeral, Baekhyun even had to carry clothes to stay with Kyungsoo at the dormitory. To make sure that your beloved friend gets to eat some food...even if he always says he's not hungry or can't eat enough to get some sleep...even if those eyes are swollen from crying or often dreaming of bad events. Over and over again that haunts you and makes sure that Kyungsoo doesn't want to endanger his own life with just a fleeting thought. Baekhyun takes good care of Kyungsoo in every way possible to help his friend's life move forward.

Until everything gets better It would take some time, he knew...but Baekhyun promised he wouldn't rush the other person. and will give Kyungsoo time to adjust before his friends return to their old lives again.

Kyungsoo dreams of a dim hallway. Dreamed of a tall, slender figure who had just walked out of the mini-mart holding two Coke cans in his hands. Two feet were crossing the road... coming towards him on the other side. Dreaming of the sound of the brake pedal...the sound of car wheels pressing violently against the road. Dreaming of a loud car horn. Dreaming of Jongin who has flown far away...

It made his heart almost stop, dreaming of a pool of blood all over the floor. And the blood stains smeared all over the body lying motionless on the cold road surface, I dreamed of myself rushing to hug that body with tears in my eyes...calling my name non-stop as if I was about to die, hoping that the other person would open my eyes. up Please wipe his tears dry from his face and dream of the ambulance that took that body to save life and breath...

But it's too late...

Kim Jongin left everything behind without saying goodbye...

Kyungsoo had always felt that Jongin had taken his heart away in that cruel moment, so how could the remaining body live on if the heart was taken away somewhere else?

For more than a month, Kyungsoo's life was almost at a standstill, keeping himself confined to his room. Not ready to meet anyone face to face, the thoughts of Jongin still often distill into tears. His eyes are hurt to the point of being frightening, his body deteriorates because he eats little and sleeps little, but also because the school year has ended and he is on a semester break. Baekhyun and Chanyeol were somewhat relieved that they didn't have to worry about whether or not everything would affect Kyungsoo's university studies. They both decided to let their best friend stay where he wanted. Keep thinking about the person he wants.

without forgetting to take care of you from a distance Waiting for time to heal Kyungsoo's heart until it gets better.

Each day passes with suffering...

Kyungsoo had no idea that the person he was thinking about with every breath was thinking about himself just as much...

A tall, slender figure in a clean white dress sat motionless on the edge of the bed, watching the little person sleep. The tear stains that appeared on his face because of the same nightmare still stabbed at his heart. A slender hand intended to lift up and help wipe them away. But he couldn't do it...he wasn't in a position to do it for Kyungsoo anymore...

Kyungsoo...don't dream of that situation again, don't dream of me again...

Jongin said softly. I hope that the person in front of me will know, but it's probably not possible. Because at this moment they were both in different worlds...close at hand but could never hear his voice.

If Jongin could make one wish, he would ask that Kyungsoo forget that nightmare. So that he wouldn't have to suffer every minute that passed, his own heart wouldn't have to feel the pain. So that you don't have to feel worried, you will be truly ready to leave completely.

It was the most difficult time in Kyungsoo's life. Many times he kept asking God or whoever had appointed Jongin to leave, why it had to be this person, why it couldn't be anyone else that he wasn't. Do you know someone who is destined to have only one time in their life where they cross paths with Kyungsoo? Or someone who only knows Kyungsoo superficially?

Or who is not the person he loves...

But despite asking over and over again, no answer came back. Kyungsoo found that those invisible things held so much power...so much that nothing could get in the way or change it. Everything could be different from what had been planned. Even if he cried until there were no tears left, he would not have the right to have the person he loved back in his arms a second time.

Kyungsoo...don't cry again, I can't go back. No matter what, everything must go according to fate until fate decides that my life will stop. You have to accept it. and move forward with others Because fate didn't decide that your life would stop. Continue to have a good life...

Months passed in a life where Kyungsoo knew only tears and missing the boy. He never thought there would be a day when he could stop crying... You could say that there were no tears left to fall. Again, more than that day, Baekhyun looked especially smiling. In contrast to Kyungsoo, who looked tired, weak, and had swollen eyes. It was as if the other person had noticed that his tears had dried up a lot, even though his expression was still dull. But when he was sure that his best friend had regained consciousness in the world of... The reality is that he is happy and ready to welcome Kyungsoo back to be Kyungsoo who, although he is still not 100 percent the same person, is still good that half of him has returned to Baekhyun. Yeon is finished.

Jongin still watches Kyungsoo beside him every day...both when he sleeps and when he wakes up when he sees that the person he loves stops crying and spends more time with Baekhyun. The young man in white's heart also relaxed and became more worried.

“Thank you, Baekhyun.”

That was the first thank you in months that Baekhyun had heard from his friend, even though it was said in a weak but sincere voice. From then on, Kyungsoo always thanked Baekhyun and Chanyeol whenever he had the chance. Because I am grateful for the kindness that they have always helped to be by each other's side if we weren't friends.

Until now, I don't know what kind of life I will live in...

Jongin smiled slightly, feeling quite grateful to the two of them as well...

The start of a new semester... Kyungsoo's heart has improved a little, but it's considered a good thing. For the first time in many months, Kyungsoo steps out of his dorm. He never thought there would be a day. He was ready to face the outside world again without Jongin by his side...feeling lonely and cold, as if a void had appeared beside his body.

Something important in life is missing...

But even without Jongin at this time, there are still Baekhyun and Chanyeol who still stay by their side like before when Kyungsoo goes to school. Even though it's not a class period that we study together. But Baekhyun and Chanyeol would take turns picking him up and dropping him off at the door. When school ended, they would always take turns picking him up and keeping him company. There were times when the two friends took Kyungsoo out to eat. Meal together outside

Hopefully the hearts of little people will open their eyes and ears more so that their hearts can recover and be relieved from sadness. That meant there was hardly any time that Kyungsoo had to be alone, even though he said he didn't want everyone to treat him like a child who needed to be looked after 24 hours a day. But no matter what he said, Baekhyun and Chanyeol would never comply with this request anyway.

Jongin was grateful that the two of them never left Kyungsoo alone in the minute he couldn't be by the other's side, even though he knew that his lover must have felt a bit annoyed. Because of his two friends, he doesn't have much personal time and feels like he's a child that everyone has to take care of. But Jongin feels good about the way things are...he just wants someone to always be there for Kyungsoo.

Kyungsoo still misses Jongin almost every minute... especially when walking on the path that they used to walk holding hands or seeing the places that they used to go together with Jongin. The little person felt as if images of himself and another person were projected overlapping the real image in front of him every time. More and more nostalgia builds up in my heart.

Sometimes Kyungsoo couldn't hold it back until he had to let his thoughts filter out into tears, so he secretly cried in a quiet room alone without Baekhyun and Chanyeol knowing but Jongin knew. ..

Baekhyun still lives in the dorm as friends with Kyungsoo. There are times when Kyungsoo tells Baekhyun to go back to his dorm out of consideration and fear that his friend will get tired. The little man tried to smile as wide as he could, hoping Baekhyun would trust him and do as he said. But the friend knew all too well that beneath that smile, Kyungsoo's eyes were still gloomy.

And the wound in my heart is still very painful...it will probably take a long time to heal.

Chanyeol himself told Baekhyun that he still didn't trust him, that he had a feeling that Kyungsoo wasn't ready to live on his own again. There were times when Kyungsoo looked absent-minded. Sometimes there were tear stains visible, sometimes the eyes looked so dull and weary that it was worrisome. Although he has gotten a lot better lately, he tries to smile and regain his cheerfulness, but he cannot completely hide the reality that is evident.

Kyungsoo...very talented. Keep trying, I'll wait for the day when you can smile from your heart like you used to again. You must be able to do it...

Jongin watched the small man sitting next to him hugging his knees with vacant eyes, not knowing what he was staring at. But in my heart I'm probably thinking of one person and one person like before...

“Jongin…”

Huh?

"miss very much..."

I miss you a lot too.

“Without you, I can't live like this and it hurts. Both tired..."

Everything will be fine, Do Kyungsoo...

“I will never be able to forget you, Kim Jongin...”

Hot eyes overflowing with tears that were ready to fall again if Jongin existed in that world. He must have quickly reached out and wiped away Kyungsoo's tears. Before it flowed down and smeared, making her beautiful face even more dull.

“I still dream about that night every night.”

“I have never felt like I could close my eyes and rest.”

“It's like when you close your eyes...you'll slip into the past that is repeating over and over without stopping...”

Kyungsoo...may you sleep well tonight and not have to dream about things like that again. May you sleep tonight without anything bothering you again...

Jongin had told Kyungsoo those words every night before the little man fell asleep, but he found himself powerless enough to make the wish come true. Kyungsoo still has to endure the same nightmares every night. Even though he no longer wakes up crying like before, the moist sweat that covers his body is a good confirmation of how tormented the other person often feels. Who woke up and couldn't close his eyes to sleep again.

Jongin wanted to reach out and touch the other's head and gently stroke it. To comfort and lull Kyungsoo to close his eyes again. But it's still the same...

He realized that he was no longer in a position to do that…

Baekhyun and Chanyeol were both busy at university today. Kyungsoo felt exhausted from studying and wanted to go back to his dorm to rest, so he said he would go back first. Of course, the two friends refuse at first and try to find a way to bring Kyungsoo back with one of them. But it seemed difficult, so Kyungsoo confirmed to himself again that he could return on his own.

If you get to the dorm, you'll call immediately. In the end, it's Baekhyun and Chanyeol who have to give up. Kyungsoo smiled at the two of them again before waving goodbye.

Kyungsoo rushed himself to the dorm as quickly as possible, feeling unfamiliar with walking around alone outside like this. But I also understand that out of necessity, Baekhyun and Chanyeol have their own lives that they have to take care of. They have their own lives that they have to take care of as well. Will it be slow or fast someday?

Having to go back to living on my own like before again, he kept telling himself that he had to be strong. Jongin doesn't want to see him in this state for much longer...

The little man walked alongside many people and saw the streets crowded with people. Vehicles move around, noisy and chaotic like every day. Upon meeting Kyungsoo Road, he couldn't help but feel that the scene in front of him reminded him of a nightmare event, but he had enough sense to try to shake those things out of his head and quickly bring himself back. dorm quickly because he was afraid that Baekhyun and Chanyeol would be worried

Little feet walked towards the crosswalk, intending to cross to the other side. Not far to go to the dormitory. Looking ahead, the other side was equally crowded with people...

But one of those people made Kyungsoo's heart skip a beat and he almost stopped beating...

“Jongin…”

A familiar, thin man with short black hair in white clothes walked along the path amidst the people milling about...

Kyungsoo couldn't believe his eyes at the sight he saw at that moment. Did he miss Jongin so much that he was hallucinating? Or is it just someone else who has the same characteristics as the person he often thinks about? I want to close my eyes and regain consciousness again. But deep in my heart I resisted doing it because I was afraid that when I opened my eyes That person may disappear.

His body froze while his eyes continued to stare at the other person walking in a certain direction, not keeping his eyes on him, not knowing if it was Jongin or not. A voice in his heart said how could it be Jongin when the other person was no longer in this world. What he saw was just an image his mind created to deceive.

But Kyungsoo heard another voice in his mind saying that at least he shouldn't miss the chance to take a chance...

As quickly as my heart thought...the feet quickly walked towards that figure before it was too late. The little person didn't care about anything else except the light figure that walked further and further away.

Kyungsoo felt like the world stopped turning again...

He heard the sound of brakes, the sound of wheels pressing violently against the road. The loud sound of car horns made it difficult for us to step out onto the road. You must instinctively turn around and look behind you.

Almost stopped breathing...

When I turned around, I found a car parked in a damaged state due to a full force collision with an electric pole next to the entrance. The people in the area had expressions of shock as pale as Kyungsoo saw a figure through the car window. Everything stopped for a moment before people in the area regained consciousness and called for an ambulance to save the lives of the people trapped in the large, damaged vehicle.

Kyungsoo stood frozen. His feet were frozen in place for a long time before he regained consciousness. I realized that it was several minutes ago. What was he thinking about? He quickly turned back in the same direction. His feet carried himself to the other side of the road, but the target person was no longer there...

Even if you keep your eyes peeled for a long time But I couldn't find that person again...

miss...

Missed a risky opportunity Missed if that person really was Jongin. Kyungsoo felt like he made the same mistake twice. Missed that person again by mistake...

For several more minutes, the little man stood in the same place, watching the chaos of people, ambulances, and other cars. With feelings of still being shocked by the event that he had narrowly survived and with regret from missing the opportunity that might have allowed him to meet the person he had been thinking about again.

Baekhyun was probably waiting for Kyungsoo's call with worry when he saw that his best friend hadn't called. In the end, he was the one who called Kyungsoo himself. Baekhyun became upset when Kyungsoo said he hadn't arrived at the dorm yet. But he didn't have time to say anything else and asked where Kyungsoo was right now. Hurry back to the dorm as soon as he comes out of university with Chanyeol. It will probably follow soon.

After hanging up the phone, Kyungsoo took himself back to his dorm with a heavy heart. Waiting for Baekhyun and Chanyeol to come back together when they face Kyungsoo. Baekhyun hurriedly asked, worried about why he was late in arriving at the dormitory. Did something happen? Kyungsoo composed himself and smiled, intending to keep the incident of seeing someone in his heart alone and then deny that it was nothing.

Just taking the time to take a slow walk, looking here and there for pleasure. along with apologizing Because he knew that he was the cause of his friends' feelings of worry.

It was then that Chanyeol brought up something that Kyungsoo had just experienced...

“Just before coming in, Baekhyun and I saw a car accident hit an electric pole on the road ahead. It was quite chaotic, luckily it only hit an electric pole. I didn't crash into anyone. If someone comes up He would definitely not survive.”

At that moment, Kyungsoo silently thought of something in his mind.

If he stepped out of the road a fraction of a second later, what would happen...

If he hadn't seen the figure in white on the other side of the road and stepped out of there before what would have happened...

He would definitely become the person Chanyeol said would not survive. Or not...

At this point, part of Kyungsoo secretly hopes that the victim will be himself. If his own life could be stopped, it might be good too. So that you don't have to be tired anymore, you don't have to cry anymore. No more suffering from thoughts of Jongin, no more having to endure the nightmares that have haunted us for a long time. Everything could be better.

But it seemed that fate had determined that he would move on. Kyungsoo didn't know why fate didn't require him to stop his life right there, why it had to allow him to narrowly survive the incident and continue breathing.

Kyungsoo had no idea that everything that had happened was because of the intention of someone who wanted to see him breathe and live a good life moving forward like that person had always hoped for...

It's been one year since my life without Jongin by my side...

Today, Kyungsoo, along with Baekhyun and Chanyeol, brought a beautiful bouquet of flowers to place in front of Jongin's grave, out of condolences and thoughts. Baekhyun and Chanyeol greeted friends they hadn't met. We've met each other for a long time with a smile. Say that you miss them and that they are fine. Please don't be worried.

Jongin smiled, looking at his friend's brighter expression and knowing every word that was spoken from his heart.

After bidding farewell and promising to meet again, Baekhyun and Chanyeol let Kyungsoo spend some time there alone, saying they would wait in the car. Kyungsoo nodded, smiling slightly as he thanked his friend for always making time for him.

Jongin steps forward and stands in front of Kyungsoo...

“Jongin…”

Huh?

“It was a year that seemed to pass quickly but also felt like it passed very slowly...to the point where I almost lost my breath.”

“I still miss you. You haven't changed at all, Kim Jongin.”

Me too... even though I can watch you from this close, I can't touch you. It makes me miss you even more, you know?

“Jong In Na...”

Huh?

“I still love you the same way, even if I don't have you by my side anymore, but my heart has never let go of the feeling of love.”

Kyungsoo's eyes started to burn again and Jongin wanted to be the one to wipe that away.

“I don't know if this feeling will stay in my heart for the rest of my life.”

Don't be stuck with this feeling forever, Kyungsoo...

“But when I think about it again...it feels like you don't want me to stay in this situation for a long time, right?”

Yes...don't be like that.

The little man pursed his lips lightly. before continuing in a trembling voice

“I will be stronger than this, Kim Jongin.”

very good...

“No matter how difficult it is, I will try to go back to being the same Kyungsoo, for Baekhyun, for Chanyeol, for you...”

I will stay by your side and wait for that day to come, Do Kyungsoo.

“But I can miss you, right?”

"I will always miss you. I don't want your identity to disappear from this world."

“I still miss you. Is that possible?..."

Kyungsoo...thank you, thank you for never erasing me from your heart.

A small hand lifted up and gently wiped away his own tears. Jongin is probably somewhere nearby, probably watching over him right now. Kyungsoo tried to smile, wanting to show Jongin that he would be able to do what he set out to do, and asking that the other person look forward to seeing that day come as well.

It's a new academic year...

Kyungsoo returned to being the old Kyungsoo, Baekhyun and Chanyeol began to feel more trusting and thought that it might be time for Baekhyun to move his things out and go back to his own dorm. I never forgot to always remind my friends that if they feel lonely or have problems, Call or come see Baekhyun and Chanyeol anytime you want. Kyungsoo smiles at his kindness and concern.

When Baekhyun moved out, Kyungsoo felt his room noticeably quieter. And that silence always makes Kyungsoo miss Jongin. Sometimes he couldn't hold back the tears, but he tried his hardest to bear it.

Jongin silently watched the other person. Kyungsoo always misses him. As another person promised

One thing that Kyungsoo is still the same is that he rarely goes out to meet anyone except Baekhyun and Chanyeol every day. When class is finished He often went straight back to his dorm, both because he was tired and because he wanted to get away from the busy outside world.

But it wasn't long before fate brought Kyungsoo to accidentally meet a person who had been friends with Baekhyun for many years. Baekhyun brought 'Kim Junmyeon' to Kyung. Su got to know a small person one day but smiled politely and asked to go to class before it was late. Kyungsoo didn't know why Baekhyun brought this man to introduce him but he didn't. What are you thinking about? He easily dismissed the question after a moment.

But at that moment, Jongin knew immediately that Kyungsoo's life was about to change...

'Kim Junmyeon', the top playboy in the faculty, his academic performance is at the middle level. I like to spend my life with parties and friends late at night, often hanging out at pubs as a habit, associating with women or men for fun. I've never been with anyone for more than a month.

It's Junmyeon who's different from the person Baekhyun once knew...

Even though Baekhyun wants to warn his friends about these things, he also feels a lot of sympathy for the other person. He still remembers the day Junmyeon lost his first love due to a woman's betrayal. Junmyeon's body at that time was very traumatized and in a state that was no different from Kyungsoo's one year ago.

From that day, Junmyeon began to change. He had never seen Junmyeon like this before. He went from being a kid who studied hard at university to someone who studied and played, to someone who had never been to a pub with friends before. at all It has become a routine.

Baekhyun once asked him if one of them was truly in love. Junmyun replied that he counted the first love in his life as his real love. The only time he ever had it was a fake one. Baekhyun doesn't understand how Junmyeon lived with fake love all this time, but he understands that it must have been because he was so hurt from his first love that he couldn't trust any love again.

Junmyeon changed a lot because of his first love.

Today, Junmyeon seems to have changed again because of Do Kyungsoo...

Junmyeon calls Baekhyun. Tell him to come out and meet and have something he wants to talk about. He didn't think anything of it. At first, Baekhyun thought it might be a problem with his studies. So he came as planned without any problems, but ended up finding out that what Junmyeon was going to say was about another friend of his.

Junmyeon shows Baekhyun a photo from his phone that he secretly took of Kyungsoo walking out of class. Junmyeon asked his friend if he knew this person. One day, he happened to see Baekhyun standing and talking with the person in this picture. Baekhyun made a confused expression. But he nodded and said he knew. before asking why

Junmyeon doesn't hesitate. He said he wanted to get to know this person and asked Baekhyun to take him to introduce him to Kyungsoo. Baekhyun at first refused without hesitation. Junmyun asked why.

“Because you are Kim-Jun-Myeon.”

Upon hearing the full reason, Junmyeon sighed. He could understand why Baekhyun was considered a good friend to Kyungsoo. I wouldn't want him to get involved with that person for fear of hurting my dear friend. Not physically or emotionally.

But Junmyeon didn't just give up on his intentions...

Baekhyun was shocked when Junmyun said he would change himself. To suit Kyungsoo more because he likes Kyungsoo It may take time to prove yourself. Junmyun asks Baekhyun to keep an eye on himself that he will change again before asking for an exchange. When Baekhyun is sure that Junmyun has completely changed into a new person, he asks him to lead him. He also goes to get to know Kyungsoo.

Baekhyun doesn't understand why Junmyeon is so determined and wants to get to know Kyungsoo so much, but he's determined to do as Junmyun asks once he's sure the other person is the new Junmyun. To not harm Kyungsoo's life, then Baekhyun will allow Junmyeon to step into Kyungsoo's life as he wishes.

A month has passed. Everyone was surprised by the new Junmyeon. The old Junmyeon had disappeared from this world without a trace. And no one knows why.

Only Junmyeon knew that it all started when the new school year arrived. Fatefully, Junmyeon was assigned to study in the same class as Kyungsoo. At first, Junmyeon was still Junmyeon. Even though I was sitting in the classroom, my heart didn't really follow what the teacher was saying in front of the room. There are some who listen, but often they are interested in doing other things, sometimes writing, sometimes drawing, sometimes secretly sleeping, sometimes glancing at the people around them.

At that moment, Junmyeon saw the people sitting next to each other...

Junmyeon didn't particularly care. But as the days passed, he discovered something more and more in Kyungsoo. I don't know what it is that makes his eyes turn to look at that person every time he gets a chance, each time he goes to class. They sat in different places, in different directions, some sat close to each other, some sat far away from each other. But each time I turn around

He will meet Kyungsoo in different poses. Some expressions have intent on studying. Some vacant eyes Sometimes he looks sleepy, but he keeps his head down and scribbles things down in a notebook.

I don't know since when Junmyeon felt those gestures were cute.

From the feeling of admiration that it is cute It turned out to be a feeling of wanting to get to know him, but Junmyeon didn't have the courage to approach Kyungsoo first, thinking that Kyungsoo probably already knew about his playboy reputation. When the other party saw him approaching him, he might get scared and quickly take himself far away, so there were many times where Junmyeon could only secretly watch Kyungsoo silently.

And it was his good fortune to know that Kyungsoo was friends with Baekhyun because at least If Baekhyun were to introduce him to him, it would be enough to confirm that he wouldn't hurt Kyungsoo, no matter how negative his reputation was. Everything should go well.

Baekhyun had been watching Junmyun's behavior for a whole month. Junmyun actually did as he said. The old Junmyun had completely disappeared, causing everyone to become suspicious. And when he was sure that Junmyun had changed himself one day, Baekhyun then brought him to introduce him to Kyungsoo before Kyungsoo rushed off to study another class in the afternoon.

On one hand, Baekhyun thinks it's good that Kyungsoo will have the opportunity to meet new people in his life, but on the other hand, he can't deny that he's worried that Kyungsoo's broken heart is ready to accept it. Or not, Baekhyun was pretty sure that the other person was still thinking about Jongin. Even though his expression seemed more normal, Baekhyun knew everything.

Let's just say that he allowed Junmyeon to step into Kyungsoo's life because of the good wishes he had for him, and deep inside Baekhyun secretly thought that it might be time for Kyungsoo to let go of the old things. Allow yourself to experience something new. Even though Kyungsoo isn't ready yet, one day his best friend will definitely be able to take his life further.

Kyungsoo doesn't mind introducing new people into his life when he gets to know Junmyeon. He didn't think much of it and just kept it as a new friend. Kyungsoo had heard of Junmyeon's name. Of course, in a bad way, but Junmyun seemed to be quite close to Baekhyun. When he saw that he was at least friends with Baekhyun, he felt that knowing each other wasn't a bad thing.

Kyungsoo knew he was in the same class as Junmyeon but he never cared about it. Or notice where Junmyeon was sitting in the room before but after getting to know each other. When taking that course Junmyeon often came to sit next to him. He always invites us to talk about this and that as the opportunity presents itself. Kyungsoo has never been the one to start talking, but Junmyeon always makes the first move.

Kyungsoo admits that ever since Junmyun came into his life, there was at least one class where he wouldn't feel alone because of Junmyun. Sometimes Junmyun makes him smile. Sometimes Junmyeon makes him laugh. Even though it was a little, it made his heart feel refreshed.

And of course, there was always someone watching in pain, but he wasn't in a position to do anything else...

Kyungsoo opens the photo on his cell phone that he took with Jongin and feels nostalgic...he still misses Jongin. It hasn't changed. If it was before, it would have been Jongin who made him smile and laugh. But now that he's turned into Junmyeon, it would be nice to be Jongin again. I don't know if Jongin will be watching him smile and laugh at the same time.

with Junmyeon or not, if seen Will Jongin be sad? Will you be disappointed?

Kyungsoo... It's okay if he's the one who makes you smile, laugh, do everything instead of what I can't do right now. It's okay...

Kyungsoo's small fingers traced Jongin's face on the screen, missing him for a long time without this person by his side. He never thought that one day his own heart would return to that state. It's gotten this good. I'm glad it's like this...Jongin must be happy as well to see that he's in a better condition than before.

“I haven't dreamed about that lately, Jongin.”

good...

“I don't know why. Or since when..."

“But I think it was from the time I got to know Junmyeon…”

You see...everything will be fine, Do Kyungsoo...

Jongin couldn't deny that his heart ached, but all he could do was wish Kyungsoo a good life, and it was a good thing Kyungsoo wouldn't have to endure nightmares about him. Often again if you leave your old love And be happy along with the beginning of a new love, no matter how painful it is.

Jongin had no other choice. In addition to agreeing and being pleased

Fortunately, Junmyeon is a good person. He knows that Junmyeon was willing to change himself for Kyungsoo, spending more than a month to prove himself. That should be a measure of Junmyun's seriousness about him. How much would Kyungsoo be if Junmyeon would be the person to take care of Kyungsoo for him in the future? Jongin doesn't deny that Junmyeon is the right person.

Lately, Kyungsoo has been spending more time with Junmyun, probably more than he's been spending time with Baekhyun and Chanyeol lately. Junmyeon was the one who invited him. Eat some food. Invite you to go see a movie. Invited to go to the gym sometimes and Kyungsoo mostly agreed.

There were times when Junmyeon reminded Kyungsoo of Jongin. Some of Junmyeon's actions made him feel that way. Maybe it was because the atmosphere seemed similar to the atmosphere when he was still with Jongin. There were times when Kyungsoo felt like Junmyeon treated him like a lover. Kyungsoo didn't show any disgust.

Because Junmyeon was always good at keeping his distance, Junmyeon always allowed space between him and Kyungsoo. In case Kyungsoo felt uncomfortable and he didn't want to rush things too much with Kyungsoo.

There were times when Junmyeon secretly noticed that Kyungsoo was absent-minded as if he was thinking about someone or something. So he decided to ask Baekhyun and Baekhyun answered everything with the truth. Because it seemed like it would be good for Junmyeon to know so that Junmyun would know what to do so that Kyungsoo wouldn't feel bad.

He learned from Baekhyun that Kyungsoo's heart was so hurt by the loss that even now the wound in his heart still hasn't healed. And it would be hard to ever recover from that man who left Kyungsoo named 'Kim Jongin' who suddenly passed away one night. Separation is already very sad, but it is even more sad and depressing for parting without even having the opportunity to say goodbye before leaving.

Junmyeon had watched Kyungsoo secretly take a nap in class, and there were tear stains on his face. He gently wiped them with his fingers to make them disappear, thinking in his heart that it was because of past memories of Jongin. That makes Kyungsoo think of him even when he sleeps and feel somewhat sad. These days, Kyungsoo seems to think only about other people.

But Junmyeon has decided that he will wait...he will wait for the day when Kyungsoo's heart is ready to move forward together with his heart.

Kyungsoo didn't come to class today...

Junmyeon had been trying to call since class had just started but no one answered. He sat confusedly in his room for the rest of the hour, curious to know where Kyungsoo had gone. Even though the other party had never missed class even once, if there was something important that would require Kyungsoo to be absent, at least Kyungsoo would probably. Call and tell Junmyeon first, like every time before.

When school hours ended, Junmyeon didn't hesitate to call Kyungsoo again. His heart was pounding. Wait for someone to accept.

“Junmyeon...”

Kyungsoo's weak voice could be heard.

“Kyungsoo, is something wrong? Why didn't you come to class today? Is there any problem?”

The voice was filled with worry. Worried and anxious Kyungsoo spoke softly, telling him not to worry. He just had a fever and was sick and apologized for not calling or answering the phone. Because he took the medicine and fell asleep. I just woke up when Junmyun called. Hearing this, Junmyeon became even more anxious than before. He tells Kyungsoo to wait before he rushes to find him.

Even Kyungsoo denies it, saying he's okay. The symptoms improved and the other person confirmed that he would go see him anyway.

But it looks like it won't be easy at all...

Junmyeon found that it was raining heavily right now. And he didn't carry an umbrella with him, and he immediately became angry with himself when he found out that he hadn't grabbed an umbrella before leaving the house that morning. Junmyeon looked left and right for a while. So what to do here? Kyungsoo is lying sick in the dorm by himself. It wouldn't be good for a sick person to take care of himself.

At the very least, there should be someone beside you who can help take care of you when your body doesn't have enough strength.

Junmyeon was very surprised when the rain suddenly began to fall until it almost stopped even though the sky was still overcast and a few seconds before it could be said that water was almost pouring from the sky.

It was like heaven was willing...but he didn't have time to stand happy for long and rushed himself towards Kyungsoo's dorm as quickly as possible. Fortunately, the rain didn't fall along the way again, causing him to get soaked in the middle of the road.

Thank goodness that it only rained a little while he needed to do something important.

But Junmyeon didn't know that it was the intention of the light figure in white that had been standing next to him ever since Junmyeon said he would rush to Kyungsoo.

Junmyeon was panting when he reached Kyungsoo's dorm and pressed the button to call the room owner at the door. Regretting that he hadn't asked for anything to open the door to Kyungsoo's room earlier, he had to muster all his strength to get up from the bed and open the door for Junmyeon to step into the room.

Kyungsoo is quite hot. Junmyeon says he will take him to the doctor but Kyungsoo refuses. Said it would get better soon, like always. Just let him sleep a little and it will go away. Junmyeon finally gave in.

Tonight, Junmyeon plans to stay in Kyungsoo's dorm all night so he can nurse Kyungsoo to get well. Fortunately, he didn't have class tomorrow or if he had, he would have decided to miss class without hesitation.

Junmyeon prepared a simple dinner for Kyungsoo to eat for dinner. The little guy got up and ate warm porridge from Junmyeon's support to get up from his pillow. He stopped after eating halfway. Because I couldn't eat anymore. Junmyeon told him to take medicine, and Kyungsoo reluctantly took it. before lying down again

“Junmyeon...”

Junmyeon turned around at the sound of his voice. At the moment he was about to step out of the bedroom to allow Kyungsoo to rest.

"thank you..."

The audience stared at the small figure lying on the bed before smiling faintly and shaking their heads lightly.

"nevermind..."

"Get lots of rest. You'll be better tomorrow, okay?"

He spoke as if his illness could force him to get better in a given time, but Kyungsoo smiled and nodded...hoping to get better tomorrow.

“If you need anything I'll be outside..."

“Um.”

After Junmyeon left the room, leaving Kyungsoo to rest alone in the quiet atmosphere, the little man didn't get the sleep he had hoped for. He was fighting a strong feeling...

Feel it again. Kyungsoo found himself crying a lot, lying on his side. Letting the tears flow down in streams, those two hands clenched the blanket tightly to their bodies, ending in a crumpled mess.

The little man admitted that he missed Jongin a lot at times like this when he was sick. When the body has no strength and is tired, a part deep in his heart longs for Jongin's familiar love and care, but in reality, the person who is taking care of him at this moment is a man named Junmyeon...

The image of Jongin coming to take care of him at the dorm when he was ill flashed more clearly in Kyungsoo's mind, making him feel nostalgic for Jongin. Someone who is always there for him, someone who always takes care of him. Even though sometimes he acts like a child But sometimes Jongin comes in the role of a dependable adult.

Jongin watched the other person in the room cry in pain, he knew how Kyungsoo felt and what he was thinking about. If he were still in the same world as Kyungsoo, he would probably do anything different from what Junmyeon did.

Kyungsoo...don't cry.

“Jong In Na...huh...I miss you.”

Jongin's heart skipped a beat when he heard the hoarse voice the other person spoke, even though it was soft. But still can hear clearly

I know...I miss you a lot too. I want to hug you, I want to comfort you, I want to take care of you, but I can't do anything...I'm sorry, Do Kyungsoo...

“Hug...Kim Jongin.”

It's been a long time since Kyungsoo hasn't let so many tears fall, crying until he can hardly breathe. Various feelings have been pounding in his heart for a long time, until the little guy feels completely confused.

I feel like I miss the same person who hasn't changed.

I'm grateful that Junmyeon is by my side taking good care of me.

I feel sorry for Jongin that he spends his time smiling and laughing with other people these days. Even though Jongin knows, he may be in pain.

Feeling hesitant about Junmyeon's actions and the path he may have to choose soon.

The various thoughts swirling around in Kyungsoo's head were no less torturous than the nightmares he had often experienced before.

Kyungsoo takes a deep breath. It seems like getting through this night is difficult. Fever that seems to be getting better Tomorrow wouldn't be as good as Junmyeon wanted.

Today, January 12th...Kyungsoo's birthday.

Baekhyun, Chanyeol, and Junmyeon called to wish them a happy birthday at the same time, since the clock struck midnight. After the last call ended, Kyungsoo secretly stared at the phone for a long time out of familiarity. Every birthday is like waiting for it to ring again because of an incoming call from someone.

But there was no way...that person would never call again.

Kyungsoo...Happy Birthday...

Even though there were no more calls to wish him a happy birthday, Kyungsoo knew that Jongin was probably wishing him a happy birthday somewhere.

May there be only happiness. May there be only smiles and no more physical illness or mental pain...

Jongin never forgets January 12th. Even when he's so busy at work that he forgets his own birthday, it's Jongin who always remembers it better than the birthday person himself.

The little man thought of old memories and smiled slightly. Even though I feel deep sadness

Until now, he still misses Jongin and the old memories. One thing that Kyungsoo feels has changed is the sadness and melancholy that has arisen lately. Thinking of Jongin or old memories doesn't bring tears. I gave it to him as much as before, but it wasn't as happy when I thought about it.

It seems as if time will only make my heart feel less pain.

On the night of Kyungsoo's birthday, Baekhyun invited Chanyeol and Junmyun to have a small party at his dorm. They talked, hung out, and played games like friends until late at night, so Baekhyun invited the rest of the people back. Because I want Kyungsoo to rest.

Baekhyun and Chanyeol waved goodbye to their friends and walked away. Only Junmyeon was left standing in front of him now.

“Kyungsoo, happy birthday again.”

“Thank you, Junmyeon...”

Junmyeon raised his hand and gently caressed the other's head, as if Kyungsoo was a small child. Kyungsoo chuckled and took his hand away from touching his own head.

Junmyeon smiled.

Before the clock hands bring the day to an end at midnight and leave January 12th behind. Junmyeon left a light touch from his own lips on Kyungsoo's thin lips that night.

A young man in white stood and watched the scene in front of him, his eyes fluttering and filled with pain.

Kyungsoo wasn't sure how to proceed after Junmyeon's actions that clearly exceeded the boundaries of 'friend', but he didn't even think about hiding or getting angry at Junmyeon. Young Soo determined that he would try to act normal. Keep it like in the past As if nothing happened

The next morning, Kyungsoo received a new message from Junmyun. It was a short message with a small emoticon. Looking at it, he felt that Junmyun's bright and gentle smile was actually rising in front of his face.

[ good morning :) ]

Kyungsoo wasn't sure how he felt about that message but a slight smile appeared on his face. It shows very well that what you feel is probably not a negative feeling at all.

January 14th...a day Kyungsoo will never forget.

Jongin's birthday

“Happy birthday, Kim Jongin.”

As the clock ticked midnight, Kyungsoo spoke the familiar words he said every year. He felt like he was speaking to the air. But in my heart I hoped that Jongin would hear it from somewhere, not too far away.

thank you...

“Missing you...”

I miss you a lot too.

“How old are you this year? Are you 14 years old?”

Kyungsoo jokes and laughs. If Jongin were still here, he would really be joking like this.

The light figure in white also smiled and laughed. Kyungsoo always liked to say that he was like a child who never grew up.

“I really want you by my side right now. If you were here, I would give you a gift like every year.”

I'm always beside you, Kyungsoo...

“Don't forget to make a wish on your birthday, Kim Jongin.”

May you be happy healthy Live a good life, meet good people...

It's been two years since my life without Jongin by my side.

Originally today Kyungsoo planned to come see Jongin with Baekhyun and Chanyeol like a year ago, but Baekhyun said he would go with Chanyeol later because he was busy with Kyungsoo. Going with Junmyeon, Kyungsoo secretly thought that his friend might be lying and wanted him to spend more time with Junmyun. But Kyungsoo isn't angry with Baekhyun. He knows the good wishes of the other party that he wants Kyungsoo to open his mind to new things.

It's been a long time since he came into his life. The little guy couldn't remember when he could see that Baekhyun and Chanyeol seemed pleased and pleased that Junmyeon was being close. with him more but Kyungsoo didn't care much. He let time and fate determine everything that should happen in the future.

Junmyeon drives Kyungsoo there, but Junmyeon says he won't go see Jongin. I will be waiting for Kyungsoo in the car and want to spend time with that person to the fullest. Don't worry about him waiting here. When will Kyungsoo be ready? He will bring the other person back then.

At first, Kyungsoo was going to invite Junmyeon to meet Jongin together, but when he heard the other person's words, He thought that it would be better to do as Junmyeon wanted. Kyungsoo then gave him a small smile and said he'd be back soon and then walked away. Leaving Junmyeon to wait behind.

Kyungsoo gently placed a small bouquet of flowers in front of the grave. Everything was still the same as it was a year ago in this place, only with a different feeling...

Jongin walked up and stood in front of the little guy...

“Jongin…”

Huh?

“I miss you.”

Jongin smiles.

I know...

Kyungsoo sighed softly. There were many things he wanted to say but found it difficult.

“Jongin…”

Huh?

“It has been another difficult year that has passed...”

Well done, Kyungsoo...

“But luckily I have Junmyeon...”

“I think you know everything that happened in the past...”

um...

“Jongin Junmyeon is a really good person…”

good...

“Junmyun stays by my side like Baekhyun, like Chanyeol. Just like you..."

"I..."

The light figure noticed that the other party was accidentally biting his own lip lightly. Looks like he's thinking hard. Jongin felt his heart feel heavy. I don't know why, but maybe it was because he was afraid of what he was about to hear next from Kyungsoo.

"I..."

"if..."

“If one day...”

“If one day Junmyeon is truly the one who helps me move forward, what would you say…”

Jongin couldn't deny that he felt like everything had stopped for a moment. Kyungsoo looked down at the ground at his feet with worry and hesitation in his eyes. He felt that the other person was also a bit overwhelmed.

If Junmyeon will be the person who can make your life move forward well then I should be happy. Do Kyungsoo...

“Actually, I still feel pain…”

“You probably feel the pain too, right? Jongin…”

“Two years have passed but every feeling still remains in my heart. There will never be a day that can disappear..."

Kyungsoo...it may never go away but things will keep getting better.

“But I don't know what the future holds. Or would Junmyeon be the one to make everything better if it was him…”

If it were him It's okay...

“Jonggin...when I'm sad you always say that everything will get better...”

“You probably want things to be better right now too, right?”

Yes, Kyungsoo...

Don't be stuck with regrets, don't be stuck with your past love forever. If fate has determined that you will find new love, accept it with good feelings.

Even though it hurts a lot... silently accept his words.

The little man stood silent for a long moment, and Kyungsoo didn't say anything else after that. But the thin figure in front of him thought he knew what the other person was thinking. A look of concern and hesitation clearly appeared in his eyes, showing Jongin was unable to do anything. Aside from watching and praying that everything goes well, that everything Kyungsoo plans to decide from now on goes well.

This semester break, Baekhyun and Chanyeol made big plans to go to Nami Island. They intended to visit and spend a week relaxing there. Of course, they didn't miss out on inviting Kyungsoo and Jun. Myun asks them to go on vacation together.

Kyungsoo and Junmyeon didn't have any problems. They even thought it was a good opportunity. To be able to go on vacation sometimes because since starting university, no one has had the opportunity to go on a vacation to a distant place even once.

Baekhyun personally arranges everything for his friends, whether it be accommodations, hotels, transportation, set schedules. etc. He reserved two rooms at the hotel 'Nami Nara', a double single room. Kyungsoo was grateful that his best friend said he would allocate a room to each of them. Baekhyun seemed to understand everything well. Afraid that Kyungsoo would feel uncomfortable if he had to live in the same room as Junmyun, Baekhyun designated himself as the person who would be in the same room as Junmyun and Kyungsoo would be in the same room as Chanyeo. l

Kyungsoo doesn't deny that he's been thinking about Jongin ever since he left Seoul for Nami Island. As he waited for the boat to take him to his destination, he looked out and saw the dark sea rippling back and forth with the force of the little man's waves. Spend some quiet time with yourself. While the others fell asleep because today they woke up early in the morning to hurry and leave.

Kyungsoo's heart accidentally thought of the same person as before, the reason why he thought of it at a time like this. It was because Jongin had once said that he wanted to visit Nami Island when he was about to graduate from high school. Jongin is the first person to say that if there is a chance, he would like to come and visit here. Followed by Chanyeol's voice of approval.

Chanyeol also wanted to come because he had seen various tourist attractions here from dramas and movies that he had seen, but since graduating from high school he had not had the opportunity to schedule a trip to Nami Island. together as intended for once

I regret it when I think about it... If only they had the chance to come here together before that incident happened...

Upon arrival at the hotel Got the room key Chanyeol and Kyungsoo entered the room while Baekhyun and Junmyeon separated into another room. We agreed to get some rest for another two hours and then go find something to eat.

Chanyeol puts down all his belongings and walks around while Kyungsoo sits on one of the beds. Leaving his baggage lying motionless on the floor, Chanyeol saw Kyungsoo sitting still for a long moment and greeted him. The little man was startled slightly, breaking out of his trance. before turning to answer Give a look that asks, 'Is anything up?'

Chanyeol saw the confused expression on Kyungsoo's face and smiled amusedly. He didn't immediately give the other answer. But slowly he sat down on the bed next to them, then gave Kyungsoo a small smile and gentle eyes.

“I know you miss Jongin.”

Kyungsoo felt his heart flutter for a split second.

Chanyeol looked at it...and probably never forgot the same. He never forgot that Nami Island was a place that Jongin and Chanyeol wanted to have the opportunity to visit.

Chanyeol smiled, but it wasn't the same smile he'd seen before...

“I miss Jongin a lot too.”

The little man saw Chanyeol's sad smile and felt depressed. Chanyeol in front of him shouldn't have a sad smile in the slightest. There should be only a bright smile as always. Everyone who looks at it must feel as if they will be happy as the owner of that smile.

"But don't be sad..."

“Jongin must be happy... to see that we finally have the chance to come here.”

Even though I feel deep sadness But Chanyeol tried to smile with good feelings. I hope Kyungsoo doesn't feel sad because of what he's thinking about.

Jongin, who was sitting next to Kyungsoo, also smiled slightly when he heard his friend's words before turning to smile at Kyungsoo. If possible, I want the other person to see that he is smiling and that he is happy. That Kyungsoo and his friends had the opportunity to do things that he never had the chance to do.

Kyungsoo knew that Chanyeol didn't want him to feel sad, so he tried to smile more. Before gently nodding, he won't think of him with sad feelings again because Jongin is probably truly happy like Chanyeol said.

It's been a couple of days now. that Baekhyun brought friends Having a fun trip to Nami Island, Kyungsoo felt that he was much more relaxed after seeing new and exciting things here and looking at the beautiful things. Got fresh air, which is rarely found in Seoul, and took pictures with everyone. Being able to roam around here and play freely as he wanted would help him forget some of his worries or sadness.

Today, Baekhyun was looking for a new restaurant for everyone to try for dinner as usual. After a tiring day out, he sat down to eat a famous Nami Island meal. There were enough customers inside the restaurant. It's almost as if it's said to be quite chaotic. Those customers are tourists just like them. It's no wonder that when it's time for dinner, there will be tourists flocking to Nami Island's famous restaurant. There are only so many customers in the store.

But because of the chaos inside the store, Kyungsoo couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. Just in time for a full meal. Kyungsoo felt dizzy, probably because there wasn't enough ventilation. In the end, he decided to tell his friends that he was going to take a walk outside for a while so that Baekhyun, Chanyeol, and Junmyeon could eat together.

There's no hurry once the dizziness goes away. He'll hurry back in. The remaining people didn't object, Baekhyun telling them not to walk too far. Because it was already quite dark outside. Afraid that Kyungsoo would get lost, the other person nodded in acknowledgment. before withdrawing

Junmyeon is worried. He continued eating for another five minutes before denying that he was full. before telling Baekhyun and Chanyeol that they would follow Kyungsoo outside in case there was anything. will be friends Baekhyun saw that it was nice too so he asked Junmyun to join Kyungsoo outside the store.

Junmyeon walked out into the dim atmosphere. It was humid and cool outside and there were lots of trees and grass. He looked around the area for Kyungsoo until he spotted another person sitting on a bench near some bushes.

Junmyeon walked over to him and sat down next to him. Kyungsoo was secretly surprised to see another person outside. But he didn't say anything, understanding that Junmyeon probably came out to be friends.

The atmosphere remained quiet but Kyungsoo didn't find it too awkward. Being in a quiet atmosphere is nice in a dim atmosphere. It's good to see something that's rarely seen like this. feel mentally calm Feel relaxed, feel like you don't have to pay attention to your surroundings.

“Kyungsoo...”

“Huh?”

Kyungsoo made a soft noise of approval in his throat without turning his head to look at the other person. Junmyeon was silent for a moment. Kyungsoo continued to listen intently to the other person's words.

“Has your dizziness gone away?”

The audience smiled and nodded lightly.

"Um, much better than before. The weather outside is very comfortable."

"good..."

Junmyeon smiled, happy to hear such an answer. If Kyungsoo got sick, it would ruin the fun. And he was probably very worried about the other party.

For several more minutes, silence filled the area. If Kyungsoo turned to look at the person next to him, he would see that Junmyeon's expression had changed at this time. His expression looked like he was thinking. Or are you seriously hesitating about something?

And finally he opened his mouth to speak...

“Kyungsoo...”

“Huh?”

The caller was silent for a moment, Junmyeon looked at the other person who was still staring ahead aimlessly.

"Mr..."

"Can...can you date me?"

Kyungsoo's heart twitched slightly when he heard those words from the person next to him. It was as if everything had stopped for a moment.

In fact, he shouldn't have been shocked or surprised when Junmyeon said those words because he knew in his heart that sooner or later, this day would eventually come. But Kyungsoo couldn't deny that he froze. Junmyeon's entire body probably tensed up from what he just heard. Because he didn't say anything else after that, he didn't know what Junmyeon's expression would be like.

Or what kind of expression did he have on his face as the darkness shrouded the whole area? Hiding everything like this

“Junmyeon...”

“Kyungsoo, you don't have to answer right now...”

The voice interrupted before Kyungsoo could say anything. Junmyeon didn't know what the next words were, but he thought he wasn't ready to listen to everything right now and thought the other person was. Probably not ready to give him an answer either.

"I don't want you to be in a hurry..."

“If you need time, take as much time as you need.”

“I will wait for the day when you are ready to give me an answer.”

“I will wait...Do Kyungsoo.”

Junmyeon said slowly. Junmyeon is still Junmyeon...the person who leaves space for Kyungsoo so that he doesn't always have to feel uncomfortable about what's going on. Junmyeon smiled slightly. I hope to relax myself. And feel like everything will be fine after you finally muster up the courage to say those words when you think the time is right.

Kyungsoo didn't say anything to Junmyeon, not knowing how the other person felt or what he was thinking. But I think he might need some more quiet time alone.

“Uh...I...”

“I'm going to go back and see Baekhyun and Chanyeol first and tell them you're okay. In case they are worried.”

"If you feel better, hurry and come back in. We'll wait."

Junmyeon got up and walked back the same way, leaving the other person sitting quietly all alone.

Kyungsoo accidentally pursed his lips lightly, feeling a strange feeling that had arisen in his heart if Junmyeon had noticed the other's hands before. He must have seen that small hand gripping his own pants until they were rumpled with various sensations.

Shocked, worried, pressured, hesitant...

Jongin, who was always by his side, remained silent as well. He thought that he shouldn't be shocked or surprised to hear those words from Junmyeon because he was no different from Kyungsoo. Knowing that sooner or later This day would eventually come, but Jongin didn't think that when that day actually arrived, Junmyeon's words would make him feel like he was being dragged deep into the abyss below. It felt like he had reached this point. One which is a crossroads

It feels like soon everything that fate has ordained will happen as it should. It feels like it's time for Kyungsoo to make a decision for his own future...

Jongin doesn't know what path Kyungsoo plans to take in the near future, but whichever path he takes. He will respect Kyungsoo's decision.

After dinner that day, Kyungsoo found Junmyeon acting normally as if nothing had happened. Both with Baekhyun Chanyeol and himself Wouldn't want Baekhyun or Chanyeol to know what was going on and for everything to go as well as it should have even while Kyungsoo was still in his phase he needed time...

That night, Kyungsoo couldn't sleep, intending to sleep from head to pillow. But it wasn't as he wanted. His brain still thought about the same things that were running around in his head almost every minute while Chanyeol had been sleeping on the bed next to him for several minutes.

Kyungsoo sighs in silence and his eyes remain wide open in the darkness. In his mind, he thought of Junmyeon's words and of course he still thought of Jongin as before...

He doesn't know what tomorrow will bring or what else he will have to face, but for sure in the near future he will have to decide on one path or another. And that made Kyungsoo's heart heavy because he didn't think he was quite ready.

The little man subconsciously bit his lip and sighed softly at the thoughts that were still running wild...

Come to think of it, if he said yes to Junmyeon, what would happen...

Kyungsoo admits that he has strong feelings for Junmyeon as time passes. The more time we spend together The more I got to know Junmyeon's identity, and that wasn't a bad thing, as Kyungsoo had heard the other's names before. Junmyeon was a very good person. When Baekhyun With Chanyeol unable to be with him, only Junmyeon is always there for him. If he were to say yes, Junmyeon would be very happy and happy that his long-awaited wish would be fulfilled.

And if Baekhyun and Chanyeol were able to choose the path that would allow them to open their hearts and start with a new love, Baekhyun and Chanyeol would probably be a lot less worried about them. At least from then on, they would be relieved to have Junmyeon by their side. In a position to take care of each other fully

As for Jongin…he wasn't sure if this decision would cause the other person to feel hurt if Jongin was still watching over him. And knowing the path he is about to choose, will Jongin feel any pain?

There was one thing that Kyungsoo had been thinking about lately...a word that Jongin had said to him long ago.

'Do anything to make yourself happy, Do Kyungsoo. I want to see Kyungsoo. person with smile People who are always happy...'

Many years ago with those words...

Kyungsoo sighs.

When it was time to make a decision, those words kept repeating in his head. Kyungsoo admits that part of him wanted to say yes to Junmyeon. Because of those words of Jongin

And if he rejects Junmyeon...

The first person to feel sorry was Junmyeon, followed by Baekhyun and Chanyeol. The two friends would probably continue to worry about him as usual because rejecting Junmyeon would show that Kyungsoo's heart wasn't ready to let go of the old things. Accept new things and there is still no one beside you as more than a friend or acquaintance.

As for Jongin...he wasn't sure if Jongin would feel happy about Junmyun's rejection, but a deep voice in Kyungsoo's heart told him that Jongin probably wouldn't feel so good for the same reason as Baekhyun. and Chanyeol Refusing it was like showing that Kyungsoo's heart was still reserved for only Jongin, even though

Everything has changed now. And that person will never be able to return to the place he wants again. Everything will never be the same. Kyungsoo can't hold everything back to the way it was again...

Kyungsoo doesn't deny that option one is the best answer...

The little man sighed, closing his eyes.

Soon everything will be clear...

The next day, everything continued as normal. Baekhyun Chanyeol And Junmyeon is ready to go out again today with a bright and cheerful face like a child who is about to go out on a trip.

Kyungsoo smiles, seeing the sight in front of everyone looking happy. Junmyeon himself smiled slightly. Turning around, I found that Kyungsoo still had Kyungsoo's smile until now.

At that moment, Kyungsoo accidentally made eye contact with Junmyeon and he was taken aback. But still kept that same smile Junmyeon saw this and was relieved, thankful that everything was still the same. Kyungsoo is still the same Kyungsoo without any disgust towards him. Even though those words were spoken

But it's a pity. Junmyeon couldn't know what the other person was thinking and didn't know how long he would have to wait...

Thinking from his bed all night, Kyungsoo planned to give Junmyeon an answer the night before his return to Seoul. There was no clear reason why it had to be that night, but he felt that night was the perfect night.

Let it all be over that night and let things go on as they should from the morning back to Seoul the next morning.

The night that Kyungsoo planned in his heart came sooner than expected...

That evening, after finishing dinner and returning to the hotel room, Kyungsoo gently held onto Junmyun's arm, suggesting that he stay with him first. Kyungsoo told Baekhyun and Chanyeol, He wants to buy something at the minimart near the hotel and will take Junmyeon along as a friend. Then I'll hurry back.

The other two nodded in acknowledgment. before separating into their own rooms

Kyungsoo leads Junmyeon to the hotel's tree garden area, which has enough lights to make it possible to see his surroundings in the dimness. Both Kyungsoo and Junmyeon didn't say another word as their feet continued to follow each other. But Junmyeon's heart was very heavy. Something told him that tonight might be the night his heart was waiting for.

Kyungsoo's tiny feet stopped and Junmyeon stopped following him and stared at the person in front of him, slowly turning around, his heart pounding.

He saw Kyungsoo's neutral expression...

Junmyeon felt his throat dry. I don't know why the other party didn't speak. and showed a facial expression that he rarely saw from Kyungsoo very often, but Junmyeon still smiled... Junmyeon's smile, which was the smile that Kyungsoo was always familiar with. But he noticed that Junmyeon's eyes were filled with worry and were not as bright as usual.

Kyungsoo's eyes flickered differently as usual when he noticed this. Junmyeon immediately knew that what he was waiting for would be coming in a few minutes.

“Junmyeon...”

Kyungsoo took a long pause, as if trying to find the best words to say.

"I..."

“Let's think about it and see…”

Junmyeon began to feel like he couldn't breathe, his heart pounding until he could clearly hear it in the quiet atmosphere.

“About that…”

Kyungsoo accidentally pursed his lips lightly. I felt that each word was difficult to say. But he had to do it...

"we..."

“Let's...let's try starting together...”

Junmyeon felt like the world stopped for a moment after hearing the last words from Kyungsoo's mouth. His heart was still beating so fast that he could hardly breathe, but then a wide smile appeared on his face. The worries that had been heavy in his heart disappeared completely. All that is left is a good feeling of fulfillment.

Junmyeon's heart was still pounding with a feeling of overwhelming happiness.

“Kyungsoo...”

“Thank you.”

Kyungsoo smiled when he saw the other person so happy that he couldn't hide his smile of happiness before he could say anything else. The other person was quickly pulled into a hug by Junmyeon. Kyungsoo admits he's shocked but he doesn't resist.

“Thank you, Do Kyungsoo.”

“Thank you for giving me the opportunity.”

“Thank you for opening up.”

Kyungsoo heard the voice next to his ear, even though it was faint. But he heard it clearly and felt that the person he was embracing was still smiling so widely that he himself couldn't help but smile happily.

To be honest, Junmyeon didn't think his wait would end tonight. He had prepared himself so much for the answer to that question from the other party that he thought he might have to wait forever. Or if you're luckier It might be years or months, but it doesn't matter how long it takes Kyungsoo. He was ready to wait as promised, but he didn't expect the time to come so quickly.

Tonight was the best night for Junmyeon.

But it was a night of both suffering and happiness for someone else who was silently watching over the two of them.

Jongin smiled slightly, but his heart felt like it was being squeezed with pain and his body didn't smile as wide as usual. But still trying to smile Because one part of his heart saw that the person he loved was smiling happily.

And this is Kyungsoo's decision...

Since everything went well, Jongin felt relieved. He watched as Junmyeon's arms lovingly wrapped around the person he loved. There was nothing better than this...Jongin thought. His Kyungsoo finally overcomes his suffering. Sadness comes well. It ends with abandoning the old. and accept new things

For happiness and a better life There is nothing better than this, there is nothing else...

From now on, Junmyeon will be the one who completely replaces him. Jongin will permanently give up the space beside Kyungsoo to this man. Jongin knows that Junmyeon will be the person. Trustworthy Because Junmyeon loves Kyungsoo even though he doesn't know if Junmyeon will love Kyungsoo as much as he loves Kyungsoo right now.

Only something told Jongin that in the future As time passes Junmyeon would probably love his Kyungsoo even more to the point of matching the love he has for him. Or maybe more than that he loves Kyungsoo and that's a good thing...he knows Junmyeon will always do a good job in his place.

There was nothing Jongin had to worry about at this time. Kyungsoo smiled. Happy and happy that he has been sad for a long time. He has relieved his suffering to find new happiness. Kyungsoo is going to have a good life as he hoped...

Everything went well...

Just like this, Jongin felt his heart feel a lot lighter this minute. He will truly leave completely. There is nothing else to worry about or worry about Kyungsoo.

Only, deep down, he admitted that his own heart was still stuck on something else for a long time...

After giving the answer to Junmyeon The two of them stopped at the minimart next to the hotel to buy drinks as Baekhyun and Chanyeol had told them to. Junmyeon held Kyungsoo's hand and walked him to the front of the room. The palm raised and gently caressed the other person's head. with love Then wish each other good dreams. Before the door closes

Kyungsoo returned to his room with a new feeling that he wasn't used to before. His whole heart knew that now the relationship between him and Junmyeon had changed. From now on, everything would be different from before. Somewhere Even though it still feels strange But as time passes You'll probably feel more familiar. Kyungsoo told himself to be strong and do his best as before.

That night was another night that Kyungsoo couldn't sleep...

The little man tossed and turned on the bed while Chanyeol had been asleep for a long time as usual. At first he thought it was Junmyeon's story that was still lingering in his mind and he couldn't close his eyes. He could sleep but everything was over and there was nothing he needed to worry about as far as Junmyeon was concerned.

Or maybe it's because of the thought of Jongin that always remains in my heart...

Kyungsoo closes his eyes and admits that he secretly misses Jongin as well. The more he gave Junmyeon the answer, he had already decided on a new path. If Jongin knew and was watching, what would that person say?

And when he thought of Jongin, Kyungsoo immediately felt guilty for Junmyeon. If he had already made a deal with Junmyeon, he shouldn't think about Jongin again. Because that seemed unfair to Junmyeon but he couldn't do it... Kyungsoo still couldn't erase Jongin from his heart.

From nostalgia to guilt, from guilt to overthinking. From thinking too much to not being able to sleep

Kyungsoo was annoyed that he couldn't control himself very well. The little man shook off the blanket. Sitting up with a sigh, he walked over to the window of his room, overlooking the hotel's garden area below. There were still some lights on, and some tourists were still walking downstairs because they were still using some of the hotel's services until late at night.

Kyungsoo decides to go downstairs, intending to go for a walk. Look here and there to give your heart a moment to stop and think. Then he went back up and went to bed.

The little man grabbed his own coat as well before pulling the door to his room closed.

When you come downstairs He walked outside to get some cool air near the hotel's pool area. The cool, humid night air helped him feel a lot more relaxed. Kyungsoo took a deep breath and closed his eyes, allowing himself to fully enjoy the comfort of the cool air.

He admits that it is always difficult for him to let go of Jongin. Kyungsoo couldn't force himself to be as it should be, that thought. Even though it doesn't bring tears to my face like before anymore. But every time I think about it, it makes my heart feel a twinge.

The little man tried to push all thoughts away in case he felt as free and comfortable as the weather outside. After a while he might be able to go back up to his room and sleep more comfortably and at ease.

Kyungsoo suddenly felt like he heard someone walking...

The sound came from far away. But he moved closer and closer until it felt as if the source of the sound had stopped in front of him...

Kyungsoo opened his eyes.

My heart almost stopped beating...

The tall, slender figure in white in front of him made Kyungsoo feel like the whole world had stopped turning for the moment. The short man stared at the other with big eyes. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

The face is well-shaped, the lips are thin, raised in a smile, and the nose is prominent and ridged. Those sharp, intense eyes were definitely not wrong...

“J...Jongin...”

The little man saw the person in front of him and smiled slightly. He almost stopped breathing in that moment. There was almost no sound left. The body froze and was frozen in place for a long time.

Jongin still smiles...

“Kyungsoo...”

“I haven't seen you in a long time...”

The little man still had his mouth open. The picture in front of me was like a dream.

But not...

everything is truth

The silence lasted for a long time as the two's eyes met inexorably. No one thought to avert their eyes before being held still for several minutes by a variety of feelings...

That look that Kyungsoo hasn't looked at for more than two years, that face that Kyungsoo hasn't seen or touched for more than two years, that smile that Kyungsoo has been thinking about for more than two years... Immediately, warm water welled up at the edge of his eyes, burning hot. What the little person felt the next minute was The feeling of having trouble breathing, the heart pounding so hard that it felt like one could only hear one's own heartbeat in the silence, both hands were stiff and cold, to the point of being frightening...

It felt like the part that had been missing for so many years was now at his side again.

Jongin's eyes scan Kyungsoo's face, a face he hasn't seen in over two years. I have watched every day. But it still felt out of reach because for more than two years he hadn't been physically present to stand in front of his lover.

His figure saw clear water flowing from those beautiful eyes in the dim darkness. He didn't know if it was from shock, fear, or from nostalgia, but at that moment he slowly raised his hand and used his fingers to wipe away the liquid. Gently, that was the first time in over two years that Jongin had the chance to feel Kyungsoo wipe another person's tears away like he had always wanted.

“Don't cry.”

That deep voice whispered softly. It was as if it was a sound that only two people could hear.

Kyungsoo's head was white, deep down he wasn't sure what was happening at this moment. But when he received the touch from Jongin that his heart had been searching for for a long time, Kyungsoo felt that he couldn't hold back the tears that he had been holding back.

The sound of soft sobs made Jongin smile widely with affection.

"Don't cry...I didn't come to make you cry."

“I came to congratulate...”

The little man was slightly shaken by sobs. He bit his lip lightly, hoping that the sound would be swallowed up.

Kyungsoo didn't understand much of what Jongin had just said because he felt like his brain had stopped working. The sounds were too difficult to make out in each word. It felt as if everything was stuck in my throat, making it nearly impossible for me to breathe.

“Hug...Jongin...”

“Are you really...”

The voice was trembling. Jongin smiled fondly and raised his hand to gently touch the other's head, confirming that he really was in front of Kyungsoo at this moment.

This is not a dream.

"I...miss you."

Kyungsoo let tears fall while still staring at the wide smile of the person in front of him.

Look at Jongin right now...that smile hasn't faded ever since he met himself...who just stood still. All I could do was cry. and uttered short words in a weak voice

The light body slowly pulled the little man into its own embrace. Kyungsoo felt like he had regained something precious he had lost. The warmth from Jongin's body, which he had not touched for over two years, made Kyungsoo's heart feel warmer even though we were apart. Long gone But the good feeling of being in Jongin's warm embrace was still overwhelming, not diminishing even a little. The cool air outside couldn't make him feel any more chilled, Kyung. Su buried her tearful face into Jongin's shoulder. Both hands wrapped around each other and hugged each other tightly with longing.

Jongin moved his face closer to Kyungsoo's, breathing in the scent of the lover he missed so longingly for as long as they had been apart for more than two years. Each of them tightened their arms around the other until close Enjoy each other's warmth for a long time.

“I miss you a lot too, Do Kyungsoo.”

“Even though I'm always close to you, that doesn't make me miss you any less.”

“Torture...”

“Stay by but have never experienced it.”

That moment made Kyungsoo realize that Jongin had been watching him all this time, and thinking about it made him feel even more guilty. What did he do? How will Jongin feel? The other party already knows everything, right?

“Jongin…”

“Huh...sorry.”

Jongin heard another sobbing sound in his ear, not knowing what Kyungsoo was apologizing for. But he thought there was no point in saying those words.

“There is nothing to apologize for.”

Kyungsoo didn't know what he should do or say. Even he didn't know what an apology he'd said. What does it mean to be sad about? But Kyungsoo felt that those words were the only words he wanted to say to Jongin. Kyungsoo's face was still stained with tears, feeling a mixture of happiness and sadness. of meeting

The little man didn't say another word, letting his sobs continue to sound softly in Jongin's embrace. He stood still, enjoying every second of Jongin's warmth. I don't know when the time will run out but if possible. He wanted time to stop right here.

“Kyungsoo...”

Jongin called out softly. Kyungsoo didn't have the strength to utter a response but he waited intently to hear the other's words.

"I have to go"

Those words made the hearts of the listeners twitch gently.

“Jongin, where are you going…”

A small hand gripped the thin figure's shirt tightly as if he wouldn't let it go easily, even though he knew that in the end he would have to be the one to let go.

“Go where you have to go. Where fate will take me.”

"Can't you go?"

Jongin smiles.

Kyungsoo tightens his embrace closer to his lover, only then Jongin knows that the other person doesn't want to leave him again. But that's impossible...

“Jongin...don't go...”

“Kyungsoo, I love you.”

“I will always love you, past, present, and future.”

Kyungsoo's heart was pounding. He hadn't heard those words for a long time. When he listened to them again, he felt so good and happy that he couldn't put it into words. What would make him feel so happy? More than that soft voice that said the words I love him.

“I love you...always love you, Kim Jongin.”

Jongin's heart fluttered at those words. It had been a long time since he had embraced the other person like this and said the words "I love you" to each other.

"thank you"

“Thank you for loving and thinking of me always.”

The light figure raised his hand and gently caressed the other's head with affection.

...but after this The person Kyungsoo should love is Kim Junmyeon...Jongin knows that.

Jongin slowly leaves Kyungsoo, releasing his embrace slowly. But their hands were still tightly intertwined. Kyungsoo's face was now covered in tear stains. Jongin used his finger to gently wipe the marks away. before smiling at Kyungsoo like usual

“Kyungsoo...I'm going now.”

“Jongin…”

“Even if I go, I won't be by your side anymore, don't be sad, you know?”

Those words made Kyungsoo's heart flutter. He could only listen to what Jongin said.

“Because you still have Kim Junmyeon…”

“You must be happy. Have a better life.”

“Thank you for deciding to walk with Junmyeon. Thank you for not sticking with me forever.”

Kyungsoo closed his eyes in pain. What Jongin said only reinforced to him that now everything has changed and he and Junmyeon are no longer in the same position together. And that was the first step to start over after walking beside Jongin had come to an end. Can't go back, can't stop. He could only move on. Kyungsoo knew he didn't have the power to change everything at this moment.

“Jongin…”

“Will we meet again?”

Kyungsoo said in a hoarse and weak voice. He didn't know what words to say as his heart knew that they would be apart again in the next few minutes, but Kyungsoo's heart wanted to hope. There's even a little bit of hope in the words of goodbye

Jongin smiled faintly for a moment. Before you say...

“Maybe...I might be born as a child or a child that you and Junmyeon can adopt in the future.”

The thin figure smiled and laughed. I meant to say that, hoping that the atmosphere wouldn't make me feel even more dejected than before.

Kyungsoo saw the familiar bright playful look in Jongin's eyes and smiled faintly. He didn't know if what Jongin said would actually happen. Or if that happens, what will happen to everything?

The little man was silent. Let Jongin be the one to speak.

“Before then Don't forget to love Kim. Give Junmyeon a lot.”

“I love Baekhyun, I love Chanyeol, I love myself too.”

"And don't forget me..."

“Don't forget me as your first love.”

“Just keep everything in your heart as good memories...Do Kyungsoo.”

“Keep it in your heart with good feelings and move on, do you understand?”

Jongin felt like he was being selfish with those words as well. If he were to let Kyungsoo continue on with Junmyeon, he shouldn't have thought of saying those words to another person who still had a part of him tied to him. Silently clinging to him. Jongin admitted that he couldn't completely let go of Kyungsoo's hand, he didn't want to disappear from Kyungsoo's heart. He is willing to be selfish and listen to his own heart.

Kyungsoo listened to the other's words, silently knowing what Jongin wanted from him from now on. And what should he do in the future?

“From now on, I hope to have good memories with Kim Junmyeon.”

“That person must be no less happy than me, Kyungsoo…”

“You will become the old Do Kyungsoo again.”

Those last words were what Jongin wanted the most. The little man forced a small smile, knowing what Jongin had hoped would happen. He told himself that he would have to do it, at least he would do it for Jongin. Let Jongin feel comfortable. Let Jongin not feel worried.

"Um...I promise."

“I will never forget you. I will never let your identity disappear from this world.”

“I will keep you in my memories forever.”

“I will have a good life waiting for the time when we will meet again...”

Jongin smiled happily hearing those words and promises from the other party. Just this made him feel more relieved and he knew that this Do Kyungsoo would be able to do everything he said.

“Do Kyungsoo”

"No matter where I am from now on...I will still love you and always be there to support you."

It's time...

Jongin releases one of his small hands, letting the other know that he will soon have to leave. Even though Kyungsoo wants to reach out and hold that hand tight again to hold him back, he knows. Well, that's not useful. Jongin eventually had to go.

The little man felt like the warm water was starting to warm his eyes again, but he held it in as hard as he could because he just wanted to leave Jongin with a smiling face and no tears flowing for Jongin to feel. worry

Kyungsoo tried to smile even though his eyes were still red from crying. Jongin raised his hand to gently caress his smooth cheek in a comforting way and whispered as if he wanted Kyungsoo to remember this touch for the last time forever.

“Jongin…”

W

From now on, no matter what your status is, don't forget to find me.”

“We must meet again.”

Kyungsoo pleads for a final promise.

But Jongin didn't say a word, instead leaving the touch of his own lips on Kyungsoo's thin lips as a promise.

At that moment, everything ended well...

“See you later, Do Kyungsoo.”

The image of Jongin in front of Kyungsoo gradually faded until it finally disappeared, leaving only the darkness as before...

Kyungsoo felt both happy and sad at the same time, but he forced a smile at the last minute when Jongin's eyes looked at him with strength despite his deep pain. It felt like an important part would be taken away to another place again, but with the last thing Jongin left before leaving. Helps make little people feel at ease.

And I felt strangely better because Kyungsoo knew that there would never be a time when Jongin would break his promise to him...

After saying goodbye and being seen in front of the person he loved one last time, Jongin felt relieved of his worries. Release your worries and be ready to leave completely that minute. All he wanted was this. This miracle given to Kyungsoo was an important gift that he begged God to give to his loved ones for the last time. After this, he would never see Kyungsoo again. Haven't seen your face.

No longer touching or embracing like in the past Jongin doesn't know how long it will take, but he believes that one day fate will bring the two of them back together again, no matter what situation they are in, because he knows that a part of his heart and Kyungsoo still has a connection that will never be broken. All he has to do from now on is wait...

From now on, there will be a period of waiting for us to meet again...

Jongin's heart is waiting and he knows that Kyungsoo's heart will be waiting for that day as well.

It's been three years since my life without Jongin by my side...

But today, the empty space next to Kyungsoo belongs to Junmyeon.

Today, Kyungsoo still visits Jongin at his grave with a beautiful bouquet of flowers like every year, but this year Junmyeon walked in and stood in front of Jongin along with Kyungsoo.

Junmyeon sat down and placed the bouquet of flowers in his hand in front of him. This was his first time meeting Jongin in this place. Even though he felt a bit unfamiliar, Junmyeon told himself that it was good to have him. Having the opportunity to meet Jongin here if he were to replace the position Jongin held before, Junmyeon thought that he should respect Jongin. At least with gratitude

“Kim Jongin, thank you…”

Junmyeon smiled slightly.

“Even though we didn't know each other before, thank you for taking care of Kyungsoo in the past when the two of us had never met. Thank you for being the one who loves Kyungsoo...”

Junmyeon only said softly and stood up.

Kyungsoo smiles, clearly hearing what Junmyeon said to Jongin. In the quiet, Junmyeon still respects Jongin. Even when his heart was only Kim Jongin or even in this moment when everything had changed. Junmyeon is still a good person if Jongin knows. Probably happy that everything went well this way, everything went as the person wanted.

Kyungsoo thought of Jongin's smiling face and the other person probably acknowledged Junmyeon's gratitude...

Kyungsoo slowly sat down and placed some of his own flowers in front of him while Junmyeon continued to stand beside him. Looking at the mound of dirt in front of us, coming here this year is different from previous years. I feel more at ease than ever before. It's probably because of Junmyeon who is always by my side and from now on, always with me. Jongin, who has probably returned to this world and is alive somewhere, might be looking for him.

The little man could only think and smile slightly.

“Jongin…”

Kyungsoo's heart was pounding.

“I'm happy...you're fine too, right?”

Everything is as Jongin hopes it to be...but Kyungsoo is still waiting for that day to come, unchanged, never forgotten. He knew that Jongin would keep the promise he had made. There would never be a time when the other party would break his promise to him. And this time too...

"I'm waiting. We have to meet again...Kim Jongin."

TheEnd.
