Everything around him seemed to stop. Even the leaves seemed to move more slowly... Slow down...

“Hyung…”

A soft, familiar voice sounded at his side, begging the beautiful colored bead to open and look again after falling asleep for a short time. A smile followed as he turned to look at the face of the owner of the voice.

“Hyung, are you asleep?”

“With my eyes open, how can I call this sleep?”

“Today we haven't talked yet.” The voice called out the promise that had been made since the first day, and the way he leaned up to look was forced. “Hyung, how can you fall asleep like this?”

“Siwon-ah... You know that you've been tired all day. Even if you ask me if I'm tired for how many more days? My answer is still the same.”

Even if the answer gives the meaning that you are disappointed. But the slender hand that rose up to touch the sharp part of his face followed, showing concern for the other person's feelings too well to be angry at each other.

“But it helps Hyung feel better, doesn't it? I could see it if I kept it to myself, but it would make hyung's eyebrows tie up in knots. Isn't there something better to tell us?"

“Okay, I can give up now,” he replied, laughing at his solemn expression and the reason he had never once refused. “But can I please leave it for one day today? Tomorrow we still have to go on business. Have you forgotten?”

“Alright, I'll give in to you one day. But if the next day, you still refuse to tell me anything about your workplace. I will definitely issue an order to move you to sit in front of my room instead.”

“No Siwon,” a sweet voice immediately protested. “Just working in the same company as you. How much do people gossip both in front of and behind my back? If you move me up like that, what will other people think?”

The owner of Siwon laughed at his annoyed expression before admitting the truth. “I'm just kidding. If I do something that makes you uncomfortable, how dare I? Oh... Who told me just now that I wanted to sleep? Have you changed your mind?”

The person was taken back by his own words, puffing his cheeks with a silent expression of displeasure. If he closed his eyes at the younger person's words, he reached out his arm and put out the soft lamp next to the bed head for good. The warmth of familiar arms surrounding you is warmer than a large duvet. Followed by blessings that are always heard every night.

“Sweet dreams, hyung…”

The older man revealed a smile in the darkness. The slender fingertips can still feel the warmth that has been there for many years. So warm that it invites the mind to be calm and comfortable...

Drift away... Deep down...deep down...

“Jungsoo hyung…”

The sound of a call from behind wouldn't have stopped them as much as the warmth around their small wrists. The slender-eyed unit looked at that gesture with surprise. It's not because it's the first time holding hands. But for the first time... of a slight tremor, as if lacking confidence

“What... What's wrong, Youngwoon? Are you cold? I told you not to bring me your sweater to wear. Just a little more and we'll be in front of my house. Please take it back.”

The symptoms that the onlooker thought were caused by the fall temperature were denied when the owner of the hand removed his hand from his elder's arm and spoke.

"No, I'm not cold, I just gave you my shirt."

“I'm not cold, what's wrong? Are you sick? Or is there something bad? Why don't you suddenly look me in the eye?" More than a question, he walked close enough to find out the truth with a light touch on his cheek. Calling his sharp eyes to agree to look into each other's eyes again.

“I... don't know if it's good or bad for hyung.”

“I won't know until you tell me,” Jungsoo said, laughing. “Therefore, I should listen before deciding if it's a good thing or a bad thing. So what... So what's bothering you that makes my Youngwoon's face tense like this? ”

"hair..."

"hair..."

“Jungsoo... I think I... Love you hyung.”

“What do you say...”

The answer ended with a soft, almost whispered question. The young man whose name was Youngwoon turned around. Unable to bear close physical contact with someone older than him when he was willing to reveal all the secrets he had hidden in his heart.

"You probably don't know... But I've been secretly looking at you for a long time. I hope that one day there will be a day when you might get to know me. Even if it's just a name, it's still good. But luck gave me more than that. Because we have the opportunity to be closer to each other. And it makes me think more and more of you every day, all the time... I'm sorry that I won't be able to maintain a bond like siblings forever.

But I can't keep my feelings in forever either, I..."

The sound disappeared into the calm atmosphere of the residential area. It's not because the speaker can't find any words to describe what's stuck in his heart. But because of the tight force from the slender arms and the warmth in the middle of the back that let him know that someone's sweet, loving face was nestled against him, the tall man couldn't say anything anymore.

And the words that followed were more than the happiest in life...

“Thank you, Youngwoon... thank you"

Smiles spread across the two people's faces in the silence of that small alley. His large arms lifted up and rested on top of her small arms under a thick robe. Tighten it as tight as you want. Even two pairs of eyes were strangely fixed on the same spot at that time...

The small leaves from the tall trees along the fence near the end of the alley were being thrown down by the wind.

Flutter...flutter...flutter....

Part of the tree touched down on the cement floor, followed by repeated drops of rain. The season when everyone runs for shelter. The only exceptions were the two young men, who even had a large umbrella over their heads. If not, how much will it protect from the wet?

And even though it's the same place, it's very different in feeling... and emotions

“Kim Youngwoon, are you going to accuse me of cheating on you like that!?!”

“Hyung, don't be so angry. I'm just saying why we don't have time for each other like we used to.” His voice was disheartened as the older man's conversation reached the point where it could be considered the most intense argument they'd ever had. But that only made the anger of the people who held the big umbrella in their hands because they wanted to talk to each other increase.

“I already told you that I have to work. And then it's cool. But the fact that you keep asking me questions like this makes me understand that you don't trust me. I don't believe what I said. And I don't believe in what you did."

“Hyung, it's nice to talk to me about working hard like that. But does Hyung think from my point of view? I wait for my hyung to come home every day because I want to talk to him. Hyung then claimed that he was tired and wanted to sleep. I wanted to go out with him on holiday like before. Hyung also told me that he would rather stay at home.

No matter how many times I tried, hyung never seemed to help me. Hyung, do you want us to keep being apart like this? Do you know that it's because of hyung... That makes the gap between us continue to widen.”

“Hyung, Youngwoon, who doesn't understand you... And in the past, when you were immersed in your textbooks, preparing to become an Ent? Have you ever told me that I want you to come out to me more? Have I ever told you to stop reading and come hang out with me? Have you ever been so annoyed when you read a book that you fell asleep and then didn't talk to each other?"

“That day and today are not the same, hyung... It's not like that.”

“How is it not like this? Where is it different? Why don't you call it Masi Youngwoon?"

“That day we studied together. Hyung's friend is my acquaintance. But today, the people around those hyungs are no longer the people I know. And the other day... Was it Hyung's boss who was kind enough to drive the car to our doorstep? Or is he actually someone other than the boss?”

“Youngwoon!” The yelling voice was not from shock. If it's because of regret that all the feelings that we have sincerely shared all along have been questioned.

“Let's take it... If you're so stupid that you think I'm like that. I think we can't trust each other. Thinking that you are the reason that keeps us apart, it can't be helped. What do you intend to do from now on? Can't stand being with an older brother who you don't trust. Or will we break up right here..."

There was only silence amid the torrential rain surrounding the two of them at the end of a question they never expected to hear from either side. Just a moment that lasted like the end of an eon. That Kim Youngwoon finally revealed a sad smile.

“Hyung, have you accepted it? You surrender too, right?”

The older man used the same bitterness in his eyes as he looked deep into the pair of eyes that were staring at him. The tone of the answer was too smooth to convey his true feelings.

"If that's what you want... If it will make you feel happier than before when I came to talk to you today... we..."

“Let's break up.”

It's the end of a relationship that was once thought to be more wonderful than anything when just a few short syllables passed through those beautiful lips. The thick rain lost its meaning as the owner of the slender hand passed the umbrella he had held in his hand for ten minutes to the person who had been standing still before turning and walking away. Let the cool water wash away the warmth from both eyes.

Let the ties that have been tied together for a long time slowly but surely relax...

Loosen up... loosen up... break down...

In that wide open space there was a bright green color. It was as if every patch had small grass growing peacefully without people. Even the visibility radius was no more than a few meters ahead. But not further than that. A small figure was running towards him. Cheerful, unlike the atmosphere

And the face that I saw brought a smile...

“Jungsoo oppa,” a sweet voice sounded beside him as the lovely little sister stopped and stood side by side.

“Yoona...”

“It's so good to meet you here. Shall we go for a walk?”

“Do you know this place?” she asked, looking around with curiosity.

“No, but what harm would there be if we tried to explore it together, right? Let's go, Oppa. What do I have to fear when I'm with you?"

The over-the-top words came out loud enough to bring smiles just like the thin white stranded rope that the little girl had just picked up to show off.

“Look at this, Oppa. Do you remember what it was?”

“Remember! It's a white rope."

The contagious air of puffing your cheeks occurred as soon as you realized you were being annoyed. YoonA shows signs of irritation and cutely pleads with her older brother. “It's not like that. Oppa knows what it is, right?”

"Okay, no more teasing. Your cord of sincerity?"

“I'm so glad I haven't forgotten. Well, let's take a walk while playing this game. Don't forget, tying the rope around our wrists means we won't lie to each other, okay?"

Jungsoo's undeniable tone and expression drew laughter before he tied a small piece of string around both of his wrists.

“Alright... It's all set. Can we walk now?”

“Yes,” the young woman answered in a clear voice and began to walk forward. To that hazy path that can only be seen with a question

“Oppa... you already have a boyfriend, right?”

“Yes... there is.”

“What kind of person is he?”

A smile appeared on her sweet face when she thought of the "boyfriend" that the younger sister next to her questioned. The tone of voice that is conveyed reflects happiness and warmth.

“You must be a good person. It's good that he understands us. Love us just the way we are Try to look at us from our own perspective. Not judging us based on his perspective alone.”

“What if he's a good person? But maybe they don't understand us.”

“It depends on what you choose. You alone... or the bond between you and him.”

“Can I... forgive him?”

“It wouldn't be strange if she tried his feelings. But in the end, you have to ask yourself the same questions I told you just now... Why? Or are you going to tell me that she has a boyfriend?”

What the girl's answer would be, Jung Soo didn't know. Because just at the end of that teasing question sentence The tall figure of the person who had always been remembered suddenly appeared in front of him. For a split second, the two pairs of eyes met before they separated to stare meaningfully at the only girl in the place.

“Yoona…” A deep voice said the name of the person standing still beside Jungsoo.

“Youngwoon oppa”

"I'm here to apologize. Can you forgive me?"

The silence that was followed by a deep intake of breath spoke volumes more than how the person on the receiving end of the decision was struggling before deciding to speak a long sentence afterwards.

“I've thought about it many times, oppa... Oppa, don't do this to me. How many people has Oppa apologized to before me? How many people have to be sad? Don't do this. I am truly heartbroken.”

Just the footsteps closing in was enough for the people listening to the short conversation to understand. Jungsoo unties the rope that was wrapped around his wrist. Only the end of the rope was left hanging from the forearm of the young woman who stood motionless in that place. It was only a matter of time before that wrist was stripped of its freedom by another man.

Jungsoo turned around in the same second and was able to reach his younger sister's delicate hand into a warm one. Tears were forced to be swallowed up as he walked back to the old direction where only his body and shadow were alone. He silently let the feeling that had risen to the point of overflowing spread through every molecule of his body before he steeled himself and turned to look again at the direction he had just walked from.

Soon, the image of the young man holding the young woman's wrist gradually decreased in size until it disappeared from view. Park Jungsu was left alone with a feeling of longing and sorrow that could not be suppressed just by meeting those eyes again.

But it is like the old path that was already chosen... It is a path of separation that even brings regret. If you have to tolerate and accept... You can only do it when you are the one who determines it with your own two hands...

It wasn't long before all these events came to an end. But it was also a time when many feelings overflowed.

It was at that moment that everything around us seemed to stop. Even the leaves seemed to move more slowly... Slow down...

“Jungsoo hyung... Jungsoo-ah... wake up.”

Because of the familiar sound of his name, his thin eyelids opened to welcome the bright light of a new morning once again. And it was at the same moment that I realized the fact that Park Jung Soo had spent all these years of happiness and understanding with a man named Choi Siwon... Not Kim Yong Un...

However, the images in dreams are still blurred and it makes one wonder how people's dreams can bring up stories from the past that actually happened... And how can feelings that are buried deep in the subconscious mind come together...

“Is it morning yet?” he asked quietly before receiving the answer with a good-natured smile as usual.

“Actually, it's not morning at all. But today is Saturday. There's really nothing to hurry about, right? I'll go out and make coffee first. Hyung, you can sleep a little longer.”

Siwon stretched himself up to his full height after spending a long time secretly watching his lover sleep comfortably. But the person who had just woken up refused to go back to sleep according to that advice. Jungsoo pushed himself up and sat up as he said.

“No, I can't sleep anymore. Please give me a moment to check my phone and then I'll follow you.”

“My Jungsu is really a hard worker. Even though it's Saturday, I still check the work first. I guess I have to hurry and pressure Boss Hyung to give him a salary increase.”

“Come on, I told you not to.” He drawled a long voice at the end of his sentence with a smile and put pressure on the other person's broad back to make him walk out of the room.

Siwon laughed along with the smaller man who was currently using his time after waking up to exercise by pushing and pushing. The young man relaxed his resistance to follow his elder brother's wishes. But before he could fully disappear from the door of the room, he still did not fail to hover the tip of his nose and leave it on the white cheeks. Calls up another round of good-natured laughter.

Behind the recently closed door It didn't take long for Jungsoo to open up the small white communication device. The first message that popped up caused the smile that was still on their sweet faces to fade away. Slender eyes stared at it for a moment before deciding to put the item in his hand back in its original place. Slender legs carried himself out to find someone who was probably reading a newspaper waiting in the reception area to continue living his life... The way it should be....

Because Jungsoo knows... That there is no use in weighing yourself down and dwelling on the past that has passed.

Because Jungsoo knows... That there's no point in dreaming about things that will never be possible.

And because Jungsoo knew... That it would be above all cruelty to sacrifice all of one's own happiness for the sake of a loved one.

Under the small phone... Wedding cards in beautiful colors clearly indicate the names of the bride and groom... Kim Youngwoon – Im Yoona

And on the screen that still hasn't turned off the light A single message was also evident.

*I'm really as stupid as hyung said. Because until today I still love hyung the same way... Never changed*

THE END
