The man sat by the window still, gazing through the translucent white curtains at the skies above. The silver of moonlight cast down upon him, illuminating his face with the slightest tinge of sadness.

  He inhaled the scent of the room deeply. I'll miss this.

  His eyes fluttered close as he thought of the things that had happened, the things that were happening and the things that were to happen. Tonight was the last night he would be in the Super Junior dorm, the last night he would spend with his beloved Super Junior family before he was to disappear for two whole years.

  He tried to imagine it... Super Junior without him... Super Junior without a leader... and couldn't stop the sick feeling from rising up his throat.
