Half a sleep, I take out the picture and see those two faces that I know.  The one in the bellow is my brother,  minho and the right is the falling boy. Jongie. I hear they call him.

'hmm... ' I just and try to sleep until....   I hear the door open. And someone come his head hanging low. Is he sad because he lose the picture? I get up from my comfortable position.  And walk toward him. 

'looking for this? ' I say. I surprised, his eyes is read and full of the tears. 

'.. .' he doesn't say anything. 

'ugly, ' I don't know why I call him like that.  I move closer and give the picture to him. 

'thanks' he manage to say it with deep breath. 

'huh. ' I leave him alone there.  Do not thanks me.  It's really bother me.  Seeing the tears and the smile from those picture.
