Four o’clock. Everything looks darker than usual—the room, the sky, the city, the night. Everything is still, everything looks empty. The city seems unusually quiet, as if it is mourning over the death of Hyuk with us.   Right, Hyuk was pronounced dead at twelve-forty-five afternoon on the seventh of October, 2017. The police and forensic team concluded the cause of his death to be the overdose of alcohol and a countereffect from mixing it with ibuprofen, as both substances were found in his body. Furthermore, the death was deemed as a suicide. Unfortunately, only his younger brother was able to come to the hospital; his parents are travelling abroad. Yongsun also arrived shortly after I did.   I wonder what passed through the twenty-six-year-old’s mind when he decided to end everything with alcohol and painkillers. Yongsun was definitely one part of his thoughts, and I’m sure Yongsun knows herself, which only makes her ten times more sad. But what else? Is a heartbreak really the trigger? I regret being selfish and not asking Hyuk to tell me more about himself; I was too busy caring only about my sentiments towards Sehun. He probably went through greater hardships that he couldn’t tell anyone. Would it end the same way if I asked him?   No, I’m just getting ahead of myself. I’m nothing more than a stranger he briefly met.   “Tell me about Hyuk. Tell me about your relationship with him.” I whisper into the dark.   Yongsun and I have been spacing out in the dark for what feels to be an endless number of hours. The night doesn’t seem to end and despite the whole city sleeping during this hour, the two of us are still wide awake. I don’t make any effort to move from the floor; its cool surface corresponds to my current emotions: confused, lost, empty, and somehow a little sad. I don’t know if I should be talking about Hyuk with Yongsun right now, but the memories of him seem to be hanging in the air heavily.   “He was… Unique.” She breathes, lying lifelessly on the couch. “He had this mysterious vibe... Even I, his ex-girlfriend, couldn’t understand him half of the time. There were times when he just seemed to be in his own world, and it was a bit of a challenge unwinding his thoughts.”   I make no reply, but I understand what Yongsun is saying. I felt the same way around Hyuk w
