"Thank You." Seohyun bowed as gratitude, walking in the airport not knowing where to go. Her eyes are wandering, as if she is expecting for someone.

 

"I wonder why unnie give me a Rome ticket rather than Seoul." She mutters, still she wonders on how it happened. She really thought she was heading to Seoul and that she'll have more hours to travel, but it turns out to be Rome only, which is only 2 and half hours of flight.

 

She yawns and looked at her wrist watch. She arrived at exactly 1:00am in Rome, which explains the less people inside the airport. 

 

"Aigoo... " she suddenly sighed at remembering the memories she had in the airport. Back when she and the doe-eyed guy are on for a compeition. And it relapaces a small smile when she had remember the fight she had with him. It was indeed such a long journey for them. And will only break up in the end. "I hope I can move on easily." She said, under her breath.

 

"Tch, and so I am back again... “She added, stopping outside already in the airport. Her hair automatically blown away from the wind that greeted her. "... I'm back without him. Yeah, Rome. I'm alone. But I'll promise to enjoy you again... ugh! That’s if I can book a room in this hour." She groans, realizing that she doesn't even have any reservations. It's an ambush for her sake. How can she prepare for herself?

 

"Unnie, I hate you." she blames the girl for really giving her such headaches. Instead of standing still in front, she wanders again to search for any vacant seat. 

 

"Oh, thank you." when she had finally seen an empty one, she didn't waste time and sat on it while she put her luggage in her side. Cars passing by and people passing by her side is a dazed in her vivid eyes, while she keep on pouting on how lonely she was. Another glance at the watch, another yawn was seen from her.

 

"I'm so sleepy~" she whines silently, trying to open her eyes as much as she can, while trying to keep herself warm from her thick jacket. She brought her luggage closer to her and rested her chin on it, pouting away while she slowly closes her eyes, for a quick nap. 

 

While someone is in her loneliness in the midst of cold weather, in the other side of the world, someone is in his bed, packing his clothes...

 

-----------------------------------

 

"Yoong, What's really happening?" still so confused after he had seen his friend dashing inside their room, Donghae asked desperately. Just earlier, he was being informed about Seohyun left the country, then now, he was greeted by a busy doe-eyed guy in the room. To add it, Yoonghyun was in the bed, tailing towards his boss, like hurrying him.

 

Yoong finally finished on packing his things and turned his attention back to an oblivious guy. "Hyung, If I will tell you that... all of these... are just a show? Will you... believe me?"

 

"Eh? What do you mean?" Truly can't still believe, Donghae made a rising eyebrows.

 

Yoong then went back to his bag and opened it to show the blue envelope to his friend. Donghae simply took the envelope and opened it to read what's inside the envelope.

 

"Omo!" He gasped, reading the content. "Is this true?"

 

Yoong nodded. "Ever since we step into this hotel, I've been telling myself that something was really not right. Even if you can see me hanging out with them, it's not possible for me not to move on my own. And last night, just before Hyun almost got killed, I had moved and pulled off a hair strand from Taemin's hair."

 

"Dang! How clever~ I never thought about this Yoong. DNA testing, isn't this?" Donghae had a wide grin, proud at his dongseng's cleverness.

 

"Yep! Something relate with my degree course right now."

 

"So all along?" Donghae exclaimed, still couldn't believe. "You were just pretending? or what?"

 

"Hehe~ I know I was surprising... but yeah, who am I not to use any science eh?" Yoong giggles.

 

"Wow! This is like really surprising. Does Hyun know about this?"

 

"Hmm... of course, not yet. She just broke up with me, didn't you know that?"

 

"Oh no, I was sorry."

 

Yoong sighed. "But I understand why she did it. I think she really couldn't comprehend the things going on now. I was almost neglecting her because of Yoojin and Taemin. But I have plans, and I am sticking on it up until now."

 

"Aigoo, so what are you going to do? Are you going to confront them?"

 

"No. I won't. I don't have time... Christmas is almost here. All I need to do is to go follow her in Rome."

 

"Rome? I thought Seoul?"

 

"Well, honestly? It was indeed Seoul... but I'm just too lucky enough that I had Boa Noona. She told me about Hyun's plan and...  So I did as I wanted, I switched Hyun's ticket with mine. hehe~"

 

"Yes? How?" 

 

"Hmm, let's just say... Boa Noona's friends are also mine, which really gives me an opportunity to meet up with them in the University."

 

"Oh! That makes sense. But... wait, do you even think of giving her home, there?" Donghae realizes.

 

Yoong hissed upon realizing his mistakes too. "Oh my! I didn't! I book a room for... only one! And it's for me only. Damn! Why I have to be so careless!!!"

 

Donghae shake his head. "You’re so idiot."

 

"Yeah... but... aish! Of course, how would I still think of it? I was rushing on buying tickets earlier!" The doe-eyed said, defensively.

 

"That you only book yourself? not her? How bad!" Donghae patted Yoong's shoulder and was about to walk passed at him when he needs to go back and reminds him again. "You two are not a couple anymore, Yoong." he snickered and finally proceeds to his shower.

 

The doe-eyed guy lied in the bed with an exhaust sigh. He put his hand over his forehead and thinks... We are indeed over now. Damn! This is my fault. I was too confident that she won't break up with me. Aigoo, am I really late to do this? Ugh!!! I hope not.

 

"But I need to escape this place first." He mutters, thinking of just leaving the place too without knowing them. He couldn't face his mother anymore after having confirmed that it was all just a lie. Science would never give him such false result, which leads him to think that all these a while, his mother is playing with him. No, playing with them.

 

 

 

-----------------------------------------------------------

 

 

"Miss!"

 

"Hmm~"

 

"signorina, non si tratta di una stanza."

 

Nudge, nudge.. and more nudge she had received, Seohyun surely wanted to open her eyes and just wanted to hit the person who nudges her, waking her up. But she opens her eyes, simply to have a shock of her life.

 

"dov'è il tuo id?" where's your id?

 

She stood and quickly bowed as an apologize. But instead to give her forgiveness, she was surprisingly dragged to a police car.

 

"Omo! Per favore, non ho intenzione di dormire in panchina~" (Please, i didn't mean to sleep in the bench)  She defensively said, trying to pry the tight hold in her wrist.

 

Unfortunately, the police man didn't barge, ending her up inside the police car. The car then started right after. 

 

She keeps on begging until she end up just give in, crossing her two arms near her chest.

 

"Please fasten your seatbelt." She could only advice the police man as she pouted at her destiny. 

 

"Don’t worry, we only need some explanations?" The italian police said in full english.

 

Seohyun suddenly brightens, having realize the place she is going to be heading-prison. "No it's okay if I stay longer there.... I think it's much better rather than in the street."

 

The italian police man chuckles. "This is new. You surely don’t care?"

 

"I will be arrested anyway if I stay in the street." Seohyun grins. "Please? I promise I will be searching for any hotel in the morning."

 

"Okay fine." The Italian man said, rolling his eyes, and then finally bucking his seatbelt.

 

"Hehe~ thank you~" Seohyun happily said. She stared out over the window and clasped her two hands to pray. Please guide me up above there.

D-1

 

Yoong’s POV

 

I woke up so early. Yeah, and so early for me to be caught by my mother silently sneaking my room. I was surprised and hurriedly throw my luggage back to my room.

 

“Umm, hey mom. G-good morning.” I greeted her awkwardly, scratching the back of my head. She made a rising eyebrow.

 

“What’s going on with you? why are you sweating?” then she asked, trying to reach for me, but I snapped her hand away. Thankfully and not that bad.

 

“Umm… I just came from a jog. Yeah, I was.” I said, trying to think of any excuses. She once again look at me suspicious, which really gives me shivers.

 

“Anyway, so are you ready for later?”

 

“Later for what?” I asked in confusions.

 

“We’ll be heading to Canada later. Our flight is later at 5pm. Yoojin didn’t tell you?”

 

“Uh, she didn’t. Honestly, we only have quick meeting last night because… I was really excited to sleep.” I lied, honestly know Yoojin’s plans for us too.

 

“I see.” She nodded. “Oh! What about Seohyun?”

 

Once I’ve heard Seohyun’s name in , I couldn’t help and felt a little urge to yell at her the truth that I just knew. I clench secretly and shake my head. “She’s no longer here, mom.” I simply replied and she widened her eyes. Surprise?

 

“She isn’t here now? That means… “

 

“We are over.” I said, staring at her calmly as I still could.

 

She smiled expectantly and patted my shoulder. “That’s Okay son. You have your real family here.”

 

“Y-yeah, I hope I could move on this easily. I love her Mom.” I tried to hold on my desire and breathed calmly as I still could.

 

She pulled me for a hug and comforted me, as if she doesn’t like what she just heard. Argh!!!

 

“That’s right son. Move on. She doesn’t really love you back I guess. She just really love hurting you.” then she said, sending me cold sensations down my spine. Because I know it was me who is hurting her. Ever since then, it was always me. sigh...

 

I nodded, as if I really agreed on her.

 

"That's Okay... you'll move on, forget her sooner or later." She continued to comfort me, which seems an effect on my heart. Yeah, of course I wouldn't deny the fact that she's still my mother, and she has a soft spot in me.

 

Not long after, she pulled back and caresses my cheeks. “You grow up so well, my son. I’m missing my little Yoong.”

 

I stared at mom quite sorry. She did raise me well, but in a strict way. Though it wasn’t good for me, it really help to build my personality right now.

 

“Yeah, I miss the old times mom.” I smiled genuinely and she stop finally at caressing my cheeks.

 

“Have you eaten?” like as always, she would ask me if I do.

 

“I just, earlier.” I lied and she nodded instead of asking again.

 

“By the way, Taemin is searching for you earlier. The kid seems to miss you a lot, son.”

 

“It seems. Look behind you.” I giggle at mom as I’ve already seen Taemin approaching our side, crying.

 

“Taemin, why are you crying?” asked my mom.

 

“Appa! Grandma! Mom is screaming again in pain!”

 

“What?” I and mom both surprised. We quickly dashes to Yoojin’s room and saw her screaming while she’s holding her head frantically in the bed.

 

“Yoojin! Calm down!” mom said, trying to reach for her, but she would only pushed us away.

 

“Mom! I think I should call her doctor.” I said and then was about to left when I stopped because of her question.

 

“Who are you?”

 

I return my attention back to her and saw her eyes, truly having confusions while clutching her head. She's in pain, I could totally see it. 

 

“It’s—“

 

“Mom, she has a brain cancer. It’s natural.” I quickly cut my mother’s attempt on introducing herself, knowing that her little amnesia is part of her cancer.

 

“Yah! get out here! Now!” she screamed suddenly, taken us aback. Mother wanted to pursue her again but I held her back and dragged her out while Taemin also followed, still crying.

 

“Is she really like that?” for the first time, I saw mom worrying for someone.

 

“Y-yeah, people having brain cancers can sometimes experience such amnesia. But don’t worry, she will be back later.” I softly said and she nodded as an understanding. “I need to call for her doctor first.” I said and then left her side to go back to my room.

 

As soon as I arrived in my room, I quickly reaches for the landline phone and dialed the number of Yoojin’s doctor. It wasn’t long enough and I hung up after informing them.

 

Sigh.

 

I couldn’t take to leave the place like this. Though I already know the truth, it doesn’t mean that I hate them entirely. Taemin had a close relationship to me now and I can't just drag him to this truth. I hope I can't hurt him bad if I leave without his knowledge

 

“Oppa! Are you still there?”

 

Just when I have to rest, I heard Krystal’s voice, causing for my eyes to open once again.

 

“Yoonghyun is I think hungry now.” She said as I walk to my door and open it.

 

Just when I open it, I saw two doctors finally making their way to Yoojin’s room, catching my attention. But I decided not to have any attention anymore and went back to Krystal. She is carrying Yoonghyun on her arms.

 

“I’ll take care of him.” I said and carried Yoonghyun to mine.

 

Thud.

 

Aish! I hissed upon receiving a hard punch in my right cheeks, ending me up in the floor and I let go of Yoonghyun. I looked up to see Sul so angry at me.

“Damn! Sul! why can’t you stop hitting someone’s face!” I yelled so annoyed at his character. He was about to advance if it wasn’t for Donghae behind him and Krystal.

 

“That’s for another punch I wanted you to wake up.” it’s the only sentence I heard from him before he left us so mad.

 

“What’s happening to that boy?” I yelled and stood to face both Krystal and Donghae.

 

“Yeah, after he has known that his crush already flown to somewhere else Oppa, he was like that.” Krystal sadly shared.

 

“I guess… disappointed that his crush just ignores him.” Donghae added.

 

“That’s right, almost like the entire time; unnie hasn’t been in good condition these two days passed. Though she could be talk, she’s not the bright girl you would talk to. Now I get why she was like that prior to her leave, Oppa.”

 

My heart suddenly tightens, hearing Krystal’s story to me. aigoo, why am I so idiot to even not notice it? I was just too engross I guess with my plans that I missed all her sadness. That just means, she left the country really sad. I am surely the fault.

 

“Thanks for telling me that Krystal. It just give me more anticipations to see her back.” I said, thinking of meeting Hyun in Rome.

 

“Well, I guess… before you could leave us, can’t we bond first… Oppa?” Krystal suddenly suggested, to which Donghae also agreed.

 

“What about Yoojin and Taemin?”

 

“Oppa, you don’t need to get worry over them, Okay? We are here to support for that evil. Well, if she needs us?” Krystal chuckles, earning a small slap in her arms from Donghae.

 

“Yeah, yeah… anyway, so shall we?”

 

“Eh?”

 

“You just told me to bond with you right?”

 

“Oh yeah.”

 

I then lead them out the resort, shrugging all the thought from Yooijin’s condition right now. I know I was bad right now to not even care for her, but what can I do? Her amnesia hits her, and there’s nothing to do except for waiting for my right time to leave the country.

Rome, Italy [Police Station]

 

“Miss, slow down.”

 

The police man scolded, watching their new prisoner eating her breakfast vigorously. All that he thinks that the girl is a high class girl, turns out not? A poor girl, maybe.

 

“Haven't you eaten for two months?” he asked, really unbelievable.

 

The younger girl stirred up and shakes her head. “No, Sir. I’m… just missing Korean food. Thanks for this.” she said in full English, earning a puzzle look from the police man.

 

“Oh, okay. Since you are a korean, I bought this for us.” The Italian police man informed, sipping his own cup of coffee.

 

The girl across him wanders around before he heard her say, “This isn’t just a police office?”

 

“It’s still ya know. Our head just like green environment, and he put a garden here. Too bad, it's winter.”

 

The girl nodded while still munching her food and then swallowed it down before she opened to speak. “I see. I love nature too. Most especially flowers.”

 

“Really? What’s your favorite?”

 

“Hmm… anemone flowers.” She said without thinking twice.

 

“Oh, that flower has a deep meaning, did you know?”

 

“Eh?” doesn’t know, the girl raise her eyebrows.

 

“Just simple, it symbolizes a love that wouldn’t fade
