"Changsun-hyung?" I asked, knocking at the door.

Noona left some time ago, leaving me with pieces of advice which I seriously considered. 

No. It was not about me liking Changsun-hyung, no matter how "hot" he gets, according to my stupid sister.

I thought about the secrets he could not tell me about. I was curious, of course. After cooling my head a bit, I felt immediately guilty for getting mad. I was not in a position to pry at others, considering we just got reunited after how many years. My stomach lurched at the thought. I was insensitive. I was being selfish. Why did I act like that, even? 

I knocked at the door, louder this time. I took a deep breath as I readied myself for an apology.

The door swung open. "You could just come inside you know. Our room, remember?" He said, standing at the frame of the door, looking dejected. He wore a fitted white shirt, his muscles faintly showing in the thin material. I mentally slapped myself, forcing myself to look up at him. I came for an apology.

"Hyung..." i said, my voice quivering.

"Aish," he said, sounding defeated. He sighed and pulled me into a hug. "I can't really resist you, you know?" 

I am really weak against his embraces. It was one of the things I loved the most about him. Ever since we were young, he always did this to comfort me, to support me. It was nostalgic in a way, as it made me remember all the things we've gone through, how we supported each other through the years. The thought brought tears to my eyes.

"I'm so sorry, hyung." I started saying.

"I was insensitive, I was selfish. I'm sorry I didn't understand your situation. I'm so stupid!" I cried, hugging him tighter.

"You're not stupid, stupid." Changsun said, laughing at his own joke. His voice reverberating through my body.

"I'm sorry too, you know?" He continued, my hair. I really do feel calm when he touches me.

"For leaving. For not telling. For keeping secrets." He said, almost in a whisper. The tone of his voice was calm, yet sad, at the same time.

"It's okay. As long as you won't leave me anymore." I blurted out, surprising myself.

Was that what I wanted? Can I really ask him to stay with me forever? I know we had to go our separate ways, in one way or another, but I realized, I didn't think that far ahead. We would have our own families, we would be leading separate lives after many years. Of course, we would still be friends, but we wouldn't be with one another 24/7. For some reason, I felt sad, a familiar stinging sensation in my chest.

Changsun looked mildly surprised, he looked at me with wide eyes, and then his expression turned soft. He looked at me with kind eyes and said, "Of course. i'll never leave you again." 

I suddenly felt myself blushing, burying myself in the crook of his neck, trying to hide my reaction from him. My heart started beating fast and I panicked. I did not know what was happening. 

Changsun misinterpreted my reacrion for affection, and he smiled, and hugged me tighter.

Park Sanghyun, pull yourself together!

I needed to get things straight with Hyung. There was also one thing I needed to apologize for.

"Hyung." I breathed, trying to control my breathing.

"Hmm?" He replied, nuzzling his head in my hair. I suddenly felt conscious, wondering what shampoo I used when I bathed. 

I mentally slapped myself again, and pushed on, " I'm sorry for not finding you when I came to Seoul."

It was true. I did not find him because I came to a resolution that when fate will allow, then I will find him. It actually turned out to be true. I did find him. But I was guilty for not making a conscious effort.

"No need to apologize. Be bygones, let bygones."

I laughed. He's still the same. "It's let bygones be bygones, hyung."

"The thought was still there right?"

"Whatever you say hyung."

"You don't patronize your hyung, Park Sanghyun!" He said jokingly.

"Yeah, yeah."

"Hey, Sanghyunnie?"

"Hmm?"

"How long are we going to stay like this?" He suddenly asked awkwardly.

"I'M SORRY!!" I jumped, not realizing I was hugging him all this time, since the conversation started. I jumped back, embarrassed, for the nth time.

Changsun smirked at my reaction.

"I didn't say I didn't like it, stupid." He said pulling me back to his embrace.

I smiled.

He never did change. Changsun-hyung was still Changsun-hyung, even after all these years.
