The room was still bright despite of the clock was striking to 12 midnight. Thunder sat at the edge of the bed, looking as if he was thinking of something big; something that will change one’s life forever. In his hands were a few pieces of papers which were forms he filled in earlier in the morning. Thunder flashed a very weak smile while running through all the details written on the sheets of forms.

The door to the room was suddenly opened, revealing a figure Thunder knew very well. That facial expression that was shown on that one face the figure owned made Thunder sighed.

“Sanghyun.. What are you doing, still not having your sleep at this late hour, hmm?” Seung Ho sat next to Thunder on the bed. His hands went for that small waist the other possessed; pulling the boy much closer to him and back hugged him.

Thunder knew that one day he must do it, but he did not expect it to be this soon.

Seung Ho suddenly released the hug, his expression got worsened. “I know that it would be hard for you. Even you know that. Everyone knows that, Sanghyun. It has only been a month, for God’s sake! Tell me, Sanghyun. Are you that strong to face this alone, huh?!” His eyes were fixed on that beautiful feature Thunder possessed, as he said those words that came from his heart.

Seung Ho’s action words left Thunder dumbfounded. Indeed, he was not strong enough to face this alone. He had nightmares since that incident happened to him and he could barely live his day without thinking about those terrible pains he went through wh
