Taekwoon never knew the gap between them had been that big. It was so big that he can feel the distance between them even when they’re right next to each other singing—the most painful thing to notice when singing itself, had brought them together in the first place.

Had, Taekwoon never wanted to cry so bad.

He wished he had seen where and when it all started; when Jaehwan first started to flinch away from him like his touches burnt his skin; when Jaehwan's eyes that were once full of adoration for him had only reflected pain; when his plump lips stiffens instead of melting against Taekwoon's; when Jaehwan stopped walking next to his side and started running the opposite way.

Jaehwan must've realized it sooner and Taekwoon wasn't there to assure him otherwise.

Taekwoon was too busy swimming in fear that he had completely forgotten about Jaehwan, who by that time he realized, was already drowning and floating further and further away from him.    

"Jaehwan-ah..."
