~~~~~~'s POV

It was almost 1am and Daehyun was still going on with his past. It was really interesting, the things he did, the places he went. Then I started thinking, why couldn't they have adopted me instead or why didn't I have stepparents like his parents? His sister was definitely one lucky girl. She was an orphan but nice people took her in and claimed her as their own. It was really sweet. I'm an orphan too, why can't this happen to me? I know I sound desperate and all but who wouldn't want to grow up in a family filled with love, joy and laughter? 

"Babe you okay? Are you sleepy?" Daehyun must have noticed me spacing out.

"Nope, just thinking. You're sister is one lucky girl." I smiled. even though we were resting on the head rest with me lying on his chest as his arms were around my shoulders, I had the sudden urge to hug him. I wrapped my arms around his waist. 

"Yeah she was. I'll also make you feel blessed and loved too." He kissed my forehead.

"You've been talking quite awhile now, aren't you thirsty?" I asked.

"I can talk to you for hours and not feel thirsty at all." He replied.

"Cheesy~" I rubbed his stomach.

He continued telling me about his past. Its amazing how he could remember the details that happened more than five years ago. I could tell he really treasured his family. 

He then told me when he was 16, his parents met with an accident. He told me how he and his sister couldn't take the blow but Daehyun was determined to be strong, to support his sister. Their parents left them with a huge sum of money which could allow them to live their daily lives. This brought them even closer as they only had each other to rely on. Daehyun played the role of the big protective brother while Eunnie was the bubbly one when Daehyun was feeling down.

"Then Eunnie...?" I wondered aloud. Why wasn't she in this room? 

" A week before my 16th birthday, I brought her out just to relax, shop and stuff. She was always excited when she saw cute stuff and would walk ahead of me. I would watch her from the back. Seeing her so happy, I didn't want to spoil her mood by controlling or having her to walk beside me. Then, we were at a rather crowded street. Something caught her eyes and she ran towards the shop. I didn't think it was a big deal because I was used to her behaving like that. Then it seemed like the crowd had swallowed her, I couldn't find her. I started to panic. I walked through shops after shops and coincidentally when I turned my head, I saw her at the other side of the road, I was a little bit angry and worried. I shouted across the streets calling her name. She turned and called me Oppa across the road. I think she got too excited and she dashed across the road. Just then, a car horned and the next thing I know, a box landed in front of my feet. I was in shock. I picked up the box and ran to where Eunnie was.

People were crowding around not doing anything. I screamed for them to call the ambulance while I hugged her body. I called her to wake up, I kept shaking her body, telling her I won't scold her for wandering off by herself. She had to stay alive. But before the ambulance arrived, her hands had already slipped off my palms and her heart wasn't beating anymore. Her last breath was 'Happy Birthday Oppa'. " Daehyun couldn't stop his tears from flowing. It was the first time I seen him cry, bawling his eyes out. 

"I feel so guilty! If I didn't bring her out, if I had watched her, if I wasn't angry, if I didn't call out her name, if it wasn't because of my birthday, none of this would have happened." He said in a louder tone, blaming himself.

"Eunnie ah, Oppa is sorry... Princess ah, Its all my fault she's gone." He mumbled between his sobs.

"I'm a murderer. I murdered my own sister! She was a good girl. How could I just kill her like that?!" He yelled.

Finally, he opened up to me. 

"Shhh.. its not your fault. You're not a murderer, you're the most loving brother anyone could have. You just cared about her. Nobody wanted things to end this way. Eunnie wished you happy birthday right? I'm sure she wanted you to live happily. How would she feel if she knew you've been blaming yourself? I'm sure she wouldn't want that." I wiped his tears and hugged him really tightly. I want him to know that I will be here for him. He burried his head, crying on my shoulders. I didn't know what else to do except to be here for him, hugging him. I could tell that he's been bottling this for a really long time and he just needed to let it out. I caressed his back while he continued to cry.

"Ever since then I've been wearing a mask, to remind myself and prevent from yelling again. But I still did that to you. I'm sorry." He said, still crying.

" Hey I'm not blaming you for anything. Neither is Eunnie. So stop blaming yourself Daehyunnie." I cupped his face and made him look at me. 

Everything started making sense now. Why he was always serious on the roads, why he was quiet, why he wears a mask and why he hated his birthday. He must have been reminded of the incident that time when I surprised him with his present. I feel so bad for getting upset that he slapped the box away. I should have asked him why he did it instead of behaving the way I did. I knew Daehyun wouldn't just upset me on purpose.

He then continued.

"I know its stupid but I can't help having suicidal thoughts. I was at the the rooftop contemplating whether I should just end my life there and then. But I was a coward. I didn't dare jump. This was how I met the boys. They saw me from below and they ran up consoling me, talking me out of suicide. They saved my life and we became really close." I was cuddling him now.

"Suicide?! Gosh you're so silly!" I slapped his shoulder lightly. He pouted. Cute.

"I'm glad the boys saved you or else we wouldn't meet, I wouldn't meet this boy, I wouldn't be here and I wouldn't be saved." I said. He smiled. 

"Yes, keep that smile on, you look really handsome." I pinched his cheeks. He was a little embarrassed. 

We stayed in the room for awhile while he calmed down.

"Come on, its really late, I'll tuck you in bed." He said as he held me up from Eunnie's bed.

"No. I'll tuck you instead." I dragged him back to his room, limping. I covered the blanket over him.

"Goodnight Daehyunnie." I said. As I was about to leave, he grabbed my wrists.

"I'm glad I met you princess, you were the only one that could make me take off that mask, made me talk, gave me lovely memories and finding my old self back. I love you." He smiled with slightly blushed cheeks. 

"Silly, I love you too." I kissed his lips.
