Finally dinner is out.

Junsu and Changmin were eating like there's no tomorrow.

Changmin is already on his second bowl of rice.

"Hyung! *mhnomnom* Dase su goad!" (Hyung, taste so good!)

"Hyung doesn't taste good; it’s more of the food, Changminnie-ah.” I teased, smiling as I watch Changmin’s happy expression, while my own spoon only made random circles in the bowl, unable to stuff anything down.

"Hyung!" Changmin complained, glaring at me half-seriously. Maybe he had noticed my spoon. “You should eat more too!”

I simply nodded, pushing a spoonful of rice into my mouth.

Forcing down the urge to throw up, I managed to swallow the food.

"Hyung, let’s go and play soccer after dinner, aroso?” Junsu suggested excitedly.

"Eh? Soccer?"

"Neh, neh! There’s a free sports centre nearby! It’s huge and bright! After we finish eating these super nice food, we of course have to do some proper exercises to aid digestion!” Junsu gulped down some kimchi while explaining incoherently. “Hyung, you're coming right?"

"Neh, neh." I said smiling. Aish, Su. He just loves to play soccer, even with horrible players like me.

"Hyung, if you don't feel like it you can just say no.” Yoochun said, looking at me worriedly.

"Yah Park Yoochun! If you don’t wanna come never mind, how could you try and talk Jaejoong hyung into staying behind with you!” Junsu complained, glaring at Yoochun.

"Aish, you 2." Rolling my eyes, I flashed a smile at Yoochun, patting Junsu’s head. “Since Junsu is coming, of course I’m coming!”

After dinner, the 4 of us left for the sports center 2 blocks away.

We're just like a family right?

Seeing everyone's smiling faces, holding hands and chatting about random stuff, I can’t help to feel so.

After a meal, taking the kids out for a walk.

"I'm the appa, Jaejoongie is the umma, these 2 are our kids & Min is the baby!”

A long time ago, that person had said this.

But… I made you guys into father-less children…

"Hyung! We're here!"

"Omo, it's really huge!"

The spotlights in the field were bright and sparkly, reminding me of those days on stage.

Singing, dancing, we spent every day together.

Although those days were really busy, we were still happy.

We had never thought of giving up.

I could forever remember those pearl red balloons, forever waving for us.

It has been a long time since I had heard your screams, our Cassiopeia.

How I miss those days...

"Let's sing Hug!" I suggested.

Ignoring their shocked looks, I started singing first.

"Just let me be your warm bed for one day, oh baby~”

"So that I can hug you gently in my embrace, luring you to sleep.”

Changmin's voice followed.

"Every little small detail in the dreams, whispering by your ear.”

Then Yoochun and Junsu.

There was no division of whose part and so on.

Just singing all together.

That was the beginning for the 5 of us, that was the origin of the 5 of us.

"Annyeonghaseyo, Dong Bang Shin Ki-imnida!”

Still remember how we had ran down the streets excitedly, screaming we are “Dong Bang Shin Ki” on the day when our debut is comfirmed?

Still remember how silly we were at first in Japan, not knowing a bit of the language, not even daring to go to the convenience shops?

Still remember how we had gotten the highest award in Korea?

Still remember how we were that close to going crazy mentally in our first year in Japan?

Still remember…?

When every day is simple but amazing.

When every day is running together as 5.

When every day is a race for our common dream.

Although there are days of tears, but they are all good days that deserve to be remembered.

“Hyung, don’t cry!”

"Hyung…"

We are still us, so why can’t we just go back?

Why did it turn out to be as such?

Maybe I am already very lucky to have my dongsaengs.

"Hyung is left with nothing but you guys now.”

The 4 of us just hugged together and cried.

None of us notice the cameras rolling and the crowd gathering.

Until a girl's voice pulled us back into reality.

"Y-Youngwoon Jaejoong!"

My head snapped up.

It has been ages since anyone had called me that.

But by habit I still responded.

"Y-you are Youngwoon Jaejoong!"

"Kim Jaejoong!"

"Dong Bang Shin Ki!"

We stared at her.

She was a really petite girl with extremely white complexes.

Her eyes were shining with hope and slight despair.

She grabbed on to me, shaking and cried in a pleading voice.

"P-please, tell me you are him."

“Tell me you are them.”

We glanced at each other.

“Neh.” I finally found my voice.

I can’t believe there are still Cassies now…

How I missed them.

She released me and staggered back.

Bowing, she said, “Kamsahamida.”

Then she collapsed.

“EH?!”

A woman rushed over. “Seohae!” She wailed, scooping up the girl in her arms and desperately shaking her.

A kind passer-by had already called the ambulance.

The 4 of us accompanied them to Seoul Hospital.

“Mianhe. It’s too late.”

After what seems like a decade, the doctor walked to announce regretfully.

The woman buried her face in her hands and cried soundlessly.

Not knowing what to say, we just stood there, thinking.

Finally her sobbing ceased and she lifted her head, looking at us.

“So, you guys are Dong Bang Shin Ki, eh?” She queried.

“Um, neh. Do you mind us asking how do you know?” I asked cautiously.

“Seohae only had been able to live till now because of you guys.” She replied indirectly.

Facing our confused faces bravely, the mother slowly poured out a story.

“7 years ago, my daughter Seohae is diagnosed with leukemia last stage.”

“The doctors said that she could survive for less than 2 months.”

“We had given up all hope, until you guys disbanded.”

“Seohae was a big Cassie before this.”

“She had promised herself to get the autograph of Youngwoon Jaejoong, for that is the only one she lacks in her collection.”

“When she heard of the news, she was distraught.”

“The media had tried to locate you guys’ whereabouts, until finally all except Youngwoon Jaejoong were found.”

“She vowed to wait until you come back.”

“She had told me multiple times that she could die without regrets if she saw Youngwoon Jaejoong, even it’s just one glance.”

“She fought leukemia for 7 years and survived.”

“Doctors call this a miracle.”

“So today I guess her final wish has been fulfilled.”

The mother was crying by the end of the story.

We weren’t left out too.

It wasn’t until something on the TV in the waiting room caught my attention before my tears stopped in shock.
