Sungyeol's POV:

When I woke up this morning, my eyes were red and swollen. Also I had eye bags too- which doesn't help at all. I washed my face to try to get rid of the redness of my eyes and it worked...a little bit. Then I put some lotion under my eyes to help with my eye bags and it did the job. After I was done using the bathroom I checked Myungsoo's room. I knocked on his door but there wasn't any reply. I knocked again and got the same result.

" Myungsoo? Are you awake?" I opened his door to see his bed untouched. It seemed like he never came home after the party and must have went home with Sunggyu-hyung.

I closed his door until something caught my eye. On his desk laid two keychains: one with a dove another with a raven. I walked over to them and lifted them up to get a closer look. The dove was made of white glass and the raven of black glass. I held them up to the light and through them I could see something inside of them. The thing inside of them had the color of red or pink but I couldn't tell. I gave up and place them back on the desk and walked back out and went downstairs.

While I was in the kitchen I made myself some coffee and toast with strawberry jam. Usually in the mornings Myungsoo would be making breakfast for us, but this past week he hasn't been. The breakfast I have made myself everyday tasted bland to me and it never satisfied my appetite and all I could do was drink coffee. After I was done eating my toast, I walked over with my coffee to the terrace. The morning air felt nice against my skin and it was as if my worries were gone even for a moment. I enjoyed drinking my coffee outside because it just made everything a little bit better when drinking coffee. Even though it felt nice out here, it was starting to get a bit cold so I went back inside.

I put my mug into the sink when I was finished drinking and headed back upstairs to my room. When I walked back in I remembered something- the camera. Today Myungsoo and I were going to discuss about our topic for our photography project. We never got the chance since what has happened between us and it seemed like he wasn't going to talk to me at the party either. It looked like today was going to have nice weather so I decided to take some pictures outside. I dressed myself, straightened my bangs, and put cover up on my scar. After I decided that I was ready, I headed out the door with the camera.

At Myungsoo's house...

Myungsoo's POV:

I could feel the sunlight on my face and I could hear Sunggyu-hyung nagging at me.

" Myungsoo-ah wake up! It's already noon so wake up." I groaned not wanting to wake up and that only made hyung nag more.

" Wake up! Wake up before I destroy that precious camera of yours!" I immediately got off bed and headed to the bathroom to wash up.

He is so going to get it later when I wake him up one day.

After I was done washing myself, I headed downstairs to see hyung sitting on the couch eating chips. The way he was eating chips made him look even more like a hamster. I was going to comment on how he looked like a hamster but he cut me off before I can say anything. 

" I know what you are going to say so don't say it." He went back eating his hamster food and watching t.v. I walked over to the kitchen to make some food for myself. This past week has felt weird for me because ususally I would be making breakfast for Sungyeol and I. Now I have been making breakfast for myself and it just feels....weird. I began making eggs, toast, and bacon even though it's supposed to be lunch time, I decided to make breakfast instead.

Weird. I feel like something is missing.....Oh yeah! Coffee! I need coffee!

I made some coffee and the aroma of it filled up the kitchen, and it felt complete. Just the smell of the coffee made the day even better! Though I used to not like coffee but now I'm like obsessed with it.

" When did you start drinking coffee?" Sunggyu-hyung had walked in while I was making coffee because he was putting away his hamster food (chips).

" I don't know. I just suddenly liked drinking it.....Hyung eat with me!" He gave me a disgusted face and walked off. " Meanie. At least you should say no thank you."

I finished cooking my food and just ate in the kitchen. I didn't feel eating in the dining room since it would just feel more empty if I did. Just when I was about to take a bite of my food, my phone vibrated. I took it out of my pocket and I got a message from Sunny-noona.

To: Myungsoo

From: Sunny-noona

Hi Myungsoo-ah! Today we are having dinner at my house so you HAVE to come! Also bring your brother too! Come around by 5! Bye bye!

It seemed like Sunny-noona was going to have dinner today which meant that Sungyeol might be there. Then which meant the dinner will be awkward the whole time. I sighed at the thought of that and didn't feel like going at all, but I didn't want to be rude to Sunny-noona. Well to be more exact the way she put have in capital letters scared me a bit, so maybe Sunggyu-hyung and I would have to go. I sighed again and decided I would just go whether Sungyeol is going to be there or not.

" Grandpa-hyung! We are going to Sunny-noona's place to have dinner!" I waited for a bit and I didn't get a response.

" Yah Sunggyu!" Silence again.

" Sunggyu-hyung!"

" What time?" Now he responds.

" We should be there around five!"

" Okay!" Tch. He only replies back when I call him properly. Whatever. I'm just going to continue eating my food and then get ready. Might as well make myself look good right?....Right.

------------------------------------------------------------

At the park....

Sungyeol's POV:

I was walking around the park to see if anything will catch my interest but nothing did.

Why did the teacher give us such a tough theme to work with? Something that gives you life, something that you live for. I don't get as to why that is important but it seems like it is important for the teacher. I mean why couldn't she have told us to take pretty pictures of like nature or something! Way, way, way easier for me to take pictures then.

I sat down on a bench because I was so tired of walking around and it was like three already. Though it has been a tiring day, it felt nice to be outside by myself for once. When I was little I never got to go outside because everybody was afraid. Everybody was afraid I would get hurt or even worse- killed. If I was able to go outside, I would have to have bodyguards by my side, and it that wasn't fun at all. As a child I never had friends because I was too shy and after that incident, I just couldn't trust anybody. I couldn't even trust the people who are close to me at all: I was afraid of trusting anybody and afraid of opening my heart.

Just thinking all of this was making my day depressing so I shook away those negative thoughts. I was about to get up until I felt somebody push me down by placing their hand on my shoulder. I could feel myself trembling and I was frozen on the bench. My breathing became irregular by their touch and on instinct I grabbed their hands and flipped them onto the ground.

" O-Ouch that hurts Sungyeol. It's me Woohyun." My eyes grew wide as to what I just did and I helped him up.

" I-I'm sorry! I didn't know it was you Woohyun-hyung! Please forgive me!" I saw him rubbing his back in pain and I felt guilty that I caused him pain.

" Haha don't worry. I think I deserved that because I just came out of nowhere. I must have scared you huh? Though my back does hurt a little bit, you have a good throw too."

" S-Sorry."

" Like I said, don't worry about it! Anyways what are you doing out here?"

" Well, I was taking pictures for our photography project."

" Ours?"

" Myungsoo and I. We were going to work on it together today, but you know how we have been this past week. So yeah."

" Ah, I see. Well I hope it goes well even if Myungsoo and you aren't on good terms." I smiled in response and then I felt my phone vibrate. I took it out of my pocket to see I got a message from noona.

To: Myungsoo

From: Sunny-noona

I'm having dinner at our house so come over and you HAVE to come! Bye bye!

Our house? Since when has it been our house? It hasn't been our house since the day I left. The house became yours and Hoya-hyung's since the day I left to become the next CEO of Lee Corporations......when I was just child.

" Woohyun-hyung."

" Hm?"

" As an apologie do you want to come over and have dinner with my noona and Hoya-hyung?"

" Really!? I would love to!" He hugged me and spun me around. After I started hitting him to put me down, he just started laughing and apologized because he was so excited. This hyung is so energetic that I can't understand how Sunggyu-hyung can deal with him. I called my driver to come pick us up to take me to our house.

" Is anybody else going to be there?"

" I don't think so. Just noona, hyung, you, and I. Well, I hope it's just us." The car finally came and we entered and drove to the house.

-----------------------------------------------------------

At the house....

Hoya's POV:

" Noona, don't you think Sungyeol will be mad that you invited Myungsoo without him knowing?" I was in the kitchen with noona and Dongwoo-hyung who was helping her cook.

" He can deal with it. You told me those two were having problems so I decided to help a little. Those two are just acting stubborn and waiting for the other to take the first step."

" I guess but still. It's Sungyeol and Myungsoo. I don't even get why dad and mom agreed to have a Sungyeol and Myungsoo marry each other. Let's just say the idea is crazy."

" I know but I think they were just thinking ahead because Sungyeol never had any friends when he was little. Then when he grew up the only friends are in the business world."

" He never had any friends?" I was surprised Dongwoo-hyung joined in the conversation since he hates these sort of topics. I was happy though, I was happy that he was worried about my brother.

" Yeah, he never had any friends but now he does. He has you guys and I'm happy for him."

I was happy too. I was happy that Sungyeol can count on us and that he was opening little by little. Even though it may take a hundred years for him to tell us how he is feeling, there was progress. As his brother I'm willing to be there for him even it does mean that I can't do the things I want to do.

" Ouch!"

My attention went towards to hyung who cut his finger as he was cutting the vegetables. I rushed over to check his finger and I was relieved the cut wasn't deep. Then without thinking, I put his finger into my mouth and I away the blood. I could feel my body starting to heat up but I kept my vision on his finger. I didn't want to see Dongwoo-hyung's expression because I was afraid. After I felt that the finger stop bleeding, I took out his finger from my mouth. I looked at Dongwoo-hyung and he was blushing. His face was really red like a tomatoe and I couldn't help but blush too.

" Ahem!" We both turned to see noona looking at us. We forgot that she was still there and our faces turned even redder if that was even possible. Dongwoo-hyung returned to cooking and I went to the living room to watch t.v.

Oh. My. God. What did I just do!? I just on Dongwoo-hyung's finger! OMG! OMG!

Dongwoo's POV:
 

H-He just onto my finger....that was bleeding. He stop the bleeding with his mouth....with his mouth.......Oh. My. God. I'm getting dirty thoughts now! I shouldn't be thinking like this! He probably did that because he was worried about the cut that's all....yeah that's all..........WHAT AM I GOING TO DO NOW! THAT'S GOING TO BE ON MY MIND ALL NIGHT!

" Dongwoo? Are you okay?"

" H-Huh? Y-Yeah, I'm alright." Great! Now I'm stuttering! Now she is going to think I'm acting weird.

" Haha, okay if you say so. Actually you know what."

" What?"

" I know that you like Hoya." I choked on the water that I just drank at the moment. She patted my back and just smiled at me.

" Just go for him! Be a man and go after him!"

" A-Are you sure?"

" Of course I'm sure! Good luck!" She did a fighting sign and I couldn't help but smile. Then I heard the doorbell ring and heard Sunggyu-hyung's and Myungsoo's voice.

Myungsoo's POV:

We arriveed at the place and we walked in when they opened the door. Hoya-hyung greeted us and told us to sit down in the living room. Then it seemed like Dongwoo-hyung was invited too since he came to greet us too. Also Sunny-noona came to greet with us to while holding a knife and it scared me a bit.

Hoya-hyung came over with some drinks and we started to talk about random things. For some reason Hoya-hyung's face was a bit red and when Dongwoo-hyung came to greet us too, his face was red too. Something must have happened and I wasn't here to see it. I wanted to capture it on picture too! I could have blackmailed them with the picture.

Then we heard the doorbell ring and we all stood up to see who it was. My heart was beating fast because I was thinking it could be Sungyeol. Hoya-hyung opened the door and it wasn't Sungyeol- it was Sungjong. My heart stopped beating fast but I was happy that Sungjong was here; more time to be with him. I led Sungjong to the living room and made him sit next to me. I offered him a drink and he happily took it and he was blushing too! I pinched his cheeks at his cuteness and then the doorbell rang again. This time I knew it had to be Sungyeol because there wasn't anybody else. Hoya-hyung walked over and opened the door.

" Sungyeol you are finally here! Oh! Woohyun-hyung you are here too!"

Wait, Woohyun-hyung? Why is he with Sungyeol? Did they meet up today or what?

" Sungyeol invited me over for dinner and it seems like there is more people than we were anticipating." Sungyeol and Woohyun-hyung walked into the living room and Sungyeol's eyes went wide when he saw me. He must have not known that we were going to be here too and thought it would just be his family. Then his face went cold and went to sit the furthest away from me.

" Sunggyu-hyung!" I heard Woohyun-hyung scream and he jumped onto hyung in a flash.

" Woohyun get off me! You are heavy!"

" I don't want to!" Seriously, he always acts like this when he is with hyung. It sort of sickens me at times. Something caught my eye though- it was the camera around Sungyeol's neck. Then my I looked up from the camera to his face and our eyes made contact. When our eyes made contact, he spoke first.

" What? Something on my face?"

" N-No!"

" Okay." He shrugged his shoulders and continued drinking his drink. Then Sunny-noona screamed that dinner was ready and we all ran over to the dining room.

Sungyeol's POV:

I sat down next to noona and Woohyun-hyung at the dining table. We all passed food to each other so that everybody got everything that noona and Dongwoo-hyung made. I was surprised that Dongwoo-hyung could cook because he is always fooling around with that big smile of his. It was actually good and it has been since I have had a dinner like this. Everybody was smiling as they ate and we talked about the weirdest things. I was a bit happy because this felt like family and I haven't felt like this for years.

When I was looking around, my eyes landed at the sight of Myungsoo and Sungjong who were sitting next to each other. Myungsoo was feeding Sungjong food and Sungjong would do the same for him. It was getting on my nerves of how they were being like that; being all couple like when they aren't even a couple. Then I looked at everybody else and they were literally coupled up too: Sunggyu-hyung with Woohyun-hyung and Hoya-hyung with Dongwoo-hyung. The sight of everybody made me feel left out right away. I didn't even eat anything yet my appetite went away. I stood up, grabbed the camera, and headed out to the garden in the back. I could feel everybody staring at me, but I didn't give a care in the world.

Once I stepped outside I felt more relieved, almost as if the constriction in my heart was finally freed. I walked to the backyard where there was a garden of flowers. The sight of them made me happy because it brought all the memories of when I was with my mom. We would spend everyday in the garden and we would talk about the most random things. We would tend the garden together, eat out here, and play out here. The memories brought tears to my eyes and I quickly wiped them away.

I kept on walking further until I came to a spot that had a big fountain in the middle. This is the place where I escaped to when I was little before I was made to leave this place and live in the place where I live now. This place was like heaven to me where as now I'm living in a cage. This place was my favorite too because it has my favorite flowers- roses. This area had different colored roses: red, blue, purple, yellow, white, and so many more. My favorite was the white one because my mom told me it represents me: pure and innocence. Though now the white rose represents the day I laid them on my mom and dad's grave. They only represent the sadness and loneliness when they left and the memories that I have of them. I know one thing for sure though: the white rose will always be my favorite no matter what.

After looking at the roses I went to sit on the fountain and stare at the purple and blue skies. The sun was setting and I wanted to take a picture but it just didn't feel right. I was playing around the camera until I heard a voice.

" You are going to break the camera like that." That voice only belonged to one person- Myungsoo.

" M-Myungsoo. W-What are you doing here?"

" Well, everybody was worried about you so they made me come after you. How come you left?"

" I.....I just wasn't hungry anymore." Then I heard my stomach grumble loudly and we both laughed. We laughed together, something we haven't for a while. We looked at each other after the laughing faded away and it became awkward.

" Sungyeol."

" Hm?"

" I..........I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been mad at you for a whole week. I know you have your reasons as to why you keep things to yourself, and I respect that. I can wait for you to tell me, so you don't have to rush yourself."

I felt face getting warm at what he said. He finally said sorry to me, but I also had something to say.

" I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have pushed you away like that. You are just being a good friend to me and I think I'm still insecure about some things. Thanks for understanding though, and I'm sorry again. When I'm ready to tell you about my past, I will tell you."

We both sat in silence and that is when the sunset made Myungsoo's face light up to me. The way how the sun setting silhouetted his features made me want to take a picture of him. Just the sight of him took away my breath and made my heart beat faster and I took a picture of him. I didn't know why I took a picture of him but I was afraid if I didn't take a picture of him right now, it was as if he was going to disappear.

My first picture.

" Did you just take a picture of me?"

" Y-Yeah. Haha......ummmmmm how about we go back. I'm sure everybody is worried." We both stood up and then in one bush there was a bunch of yellow roses and one yellow rose with red tips. I picked off a yellow rose and gave it to Myungsoo.

" For me?"

" Yeah. The yellow rose means friendship. Take it." He took the flower out of my hand and smiled at me.

" Thanks! What does that one mean?" He pointed at the only yellow rose with the red tips in the bush of just yellow roses.

" Oh that one? That one means friendship with the-" Somebody cut me off before I could finish what I was going to say.

" Sungyeol! Myungsoo! Are you guys done talking yet!? Hurry up! The food is getting cold!" Sunny-noona was outside yelling for us.

" Coming! Let's go Sungyeol!" He took my hand and I smiled at the sight of him holding my hand.

(A/N:  A long one again! Hmmmmmm does anybody know what the yellow flower with the red tips mean? Comments are appreciated!)
