Taemin opened the door to his newly bought apartment in Seven Hills. Taemin sighed and thought, I just bought a new house, but I have no one to share it to...I wonder where hyung is... Since young, Taemin and his brother was separated. He was taken away by his father, a successful business man and his brother was taken by her mother, a drunk and mean lady. It's been 19 years since they separated. Taemin was 4 when they separated and he still remembered the day it happened...the day of his birthday;

"GO! I DO NOT WANT YOU IN THIS HOUSE ANY LONGER! I HAVE PUT UP WITH YOU AND YOUR DRINKING FOR LONG ENOUGH!" Taemin's dad screamed and his mum, his eyes blaring with fire and his mouth sit in a tight line. 
"FINE! I'LL JUST LEAVE YOU AND OUR SONS ALONE THEN!" Taemin's hyung grabbed him and pulled him into his room and whispered to him,
"Taemin, don't be sad. Mum's going to take me away and Dad's going to keep you. Stay the way you are and don't ever change. The next time I see you, I hope you have become like dad; successful. Goodbye..." 
"HYUNG!" Taemin sobbed.

-SILENCE-

"Min...?" Taemin, opened his eyes slowly, afraid of the sight. When he saw his father look at him concerned Taemin smiled. Everything was just a dream, Taemin thought.
"Where's mama?" Taemin's father sighed and sat Taemin on his lap and said,
"She gone..." Taemin starred at his father, not understanding what "gone" meant.
"What about hyung?" He said, his eyes lighting up, waiting for a good and understandable reply.
"He...he's gone too..." His dad whispered.
Taemin sat there, on his dad's lap, silent. A minute passed, another minute passed and they sat there, silent, going through their memories with each other, and crying silent tears that slide in quick motion down they faces, unforgiving.

Taemin picked up his picture of his family.
"Hyung..." It was unforgivable to Taemin that he had forgotten his brother's name but he was sure he was going to remember it. All he remembered was that his name started with the letter 'j'... Taemin sighed and slumped onto the couch, his head buried in his hands as he desperately try to remember his brothers name. Just when he was bout to say the name out, his phone rang! He cried in vain and checked the caller ID; it was Minho. He answered,
"Yo Minho. What's up hyung?"
"Just checking if you're going to come to work tomorrow."
Taemin looked around him and smiled.
"If you are where I am now you wouldn't be asking the question."
"Am I safe to say that it's a no then?" Taemin nodded.
"I guess that's a no then..." Minho sighed.
"Do you know how hard it is to be your best friend and your secretary at the same time?" Taemin laughed, a musical sound. 
"Sorry." They both laughed.
"Nevermind. Do you want me to come over and help you unpack?
"
"It's fine. Really."
"Okay then. See you in a few days."
"Bye."

Taemin smiled and went to take shower. He touched his bellybutton and thought, I need to eat more, I'm way to thin! If hyung saw me like this he would lecture me! Thinking of hyung had always made Taemin smile and today was no exception either. Smiling, Taemin slept, thinking of the times when this brother and himself went out to play in the playground. Those days where so carefree and innocent...
"Hyung...I miss you so very much...where are you...?" Taemin said, as a tear gently fell onto his pillow and he closed his eyes, seeing a smile that warmed his heart.
"Hyung..."
