“ You are okay, right? “ The blonde leaned closer to his younger friend who kept his face low with the purpose to hide his tear 

“ hm. “ Hyukjae nodded and still sobbed. Jongwoon sighed with a smile at how precious this guy has always been since almost 20 years ago, he felt like he had extra younger brother beside his real one at home.

“ You are always a cry baby every time we have anniversary party, huh? “ The older asked in joking tone which made Hyukjae looked up and pouted at him 

“ c’mon, brush your tear away and take some selfie with me. I need to update my sns later, the fans really want to see selfie of everyone. You don’t want to worry them by letting them see your red eyes, right? “ The singer took out his iPhone and the shorter friend nodded before trying to rub his tear away and look as normal as possible.

With a few taps of photos done, Jongwoon ruffled Hyuk’s soft black hair before moving to other members nearby for quick photo as they were getting ready to leave after a long tiring yet rewarding day on the anniversary of their career.

Jongwoon counted the selfie on his phone before he looked around for the missing person he couldn’t find in the dressing room. He swore he just saw the man in blue turtleneck chatting and hugging the youngest member at the corner of the room when he was talking to hyukjae earlier

“ Kyu-ah, where’s Siwon? “ He decided to ask and the younger suddenly stopped his chat with Heechul to look at him 

“ Siwon? He left already. “ Jongwoon heard and nodded 

“ I see. “ Jongwoon didn’t think Siwon would be the one to leave that quick
