Byul wiped her grandfather’s hand and face with the towel humming a tune

“Haraboji, are you feeling better?” she smiled as haraboji smiled back nodding

“When my cheonsa is taking so much care of me, how can I not be fine?” haraboji smiled

“And how’s Mingyu?” haraboji asked

“He’s all better now haraboji” Byul smiled

“He even came to meet me today” she added

“Aigoo…I don’t know what I should do about the two of you” haraboji chuckled

“Are you hungry haraboji?” Byul asked as haraboji nodded

“What do you want to eat?” she asked placing the towel back to the tray to take it back

“Um….pumpkin porridge?” haraboji said as Byul nodded

“I’ll be right back” she smiled.

Byul looked outside as she felt the coldness

“Oppa, it’s pretty cold…I hope you are taking care of yourself” she smiled.

“Jagiya~” Mingyu cooed on the phone

“Wae~” Byul chuckled

“How are you? How is haraboji? Do you miss me?” he asked

“Fine…yeah” Byul laughed a bit

“How are the boys?” she asked

“They’re all good…we got a break for an hour” Mingyu said

“ah jinjja? That’s good…you should probably be resting…it’s 11” Byul said

“And you? Shouldn’t you be sleeping too?” Mingyu said

“Haraboji’s condition is not that good these days so I was just looking after him…I want to be with him at a time like this” Byul said sighing

“Stay strong jagiya~” Mingyu said as Byul nodded

“Of course I have to…especially when my boyfriend is cheering me on” Byul laughed a bit

“I want to see you” Mingyu said

“of course I want to too…we’ll see each other soon don’t worry” Byul smiled

“Yeah” Mingyu said in sad voice

“Take care of your health and the boys” Byul said

“Neh jagi” Mingyu answered

“You too” he added

“Don’t worry about me…I am fine” she chuckled

“But still I’m worried, about my jagi being alone at home” he muttered

“Stop that” Byul chuckled.

BYUL’s POV:

I am always scared of being alone. Of being abandoned again… being left abandoned by my mom, my dad, my harmoni, my friends, my first love and what if haraboji left me too?

I know Mingyu loves me just the way I love him. But I never know how the company’s reaction will be when they find out that their Mingyu is dating me.

Im TaeByul, a normal person?

They’d probably freak out right? They would want him to date a pretty idol instead…

I look around the house every day. That same emptiness. That house that used to be so lively 7 years ago…what has become of it?

It doesn’t mean we live with just breathing, it doesn’t mean every day is bright because there is sun…it doesn’t mean that a house is a home without the family members… Just like that I ask myself

“Will I be the same Im TaeByul if haraboji leaves me alone? Would I still be able to smile if Mingyu leaves me?”

Maybe some things are better left unsaid and unexplained…

                                                            ~These lonely moments will probably pass…won’t they? ~
