3 days .. .

1 Week ...

2 weeks...

3 weeks...

1 month....

Days kept passing, weeks as well and now even 1 month but there was no change in Hyung's life.
I had been watching him very carefully, checking up on him all the time but everyday, it was the same routine.
He went to school at 8 am. He came home by lunch, forced himself to eat lunch and then he went to exercise til' 4pm and then he came home, studied and did his homework and went to sleep at 10 pm ...

That was his daily routine ever since Yumi left him. He barely spoke and you could always hear the cd with the piano songs from his room.
We couldn't really make out if he was happy or sad. Cause his face was expressionless. No emotions, no color..

Just plain.. white.. and empty eyes..

Yunho, Yoochun, Junsu and I tried our best to get him out of the house, hang with the other people but it was impossible. He always declined and told us that he had stuff to do..

Well the graduation wasn't far away at the moment and it was only one week left. I guess..
We were worrying .. and we were cautious but he had stayed out of trouble, he hasn't been drinking..
He has just been home..

It was like living with a dead person.
He didn't say much either and he was always quiet. Yunho mentioned that he didn't speak in class either unless the teacher asked him anything..

When I came home i sat down by the kitchen table, exhausted after a long day at school, stared at the newspaper in front of me. On the table, the supper were already prepared by JaeJoong and just like the other times, he didn't eat with us..

All of us had decided to give him some time to get over this in his own speed.
He had been searching for her.. Looking for her parents, talked to her doctor but of course, no one knew and her doctor said that she changed her doctor..

She really broke all kind of connections with us..

I sighed heavily as I started to eat from the bowl of mine and looked at the newspaper..
Now when the summer is approaching, I might as well should start to look for a place to work..

"What are you doing? Where have you been? it's like 10 pm already" Yoochun said and entered the kitchen

"Oh Hyung.. I just came home from the library. I've been preparing for the exam.."

"Ahh~~"

Yoochun sat down with a glass of juice and looked at the newspaper as well

"What are you reading?"

"Just looking if there are any summer workplaces available.."

"Ahh~~ I was wondering if I should get one too but I think mom has already prepared one for me.." Yoochun said

I nodded

"How's.. Hyung?" I asked and looked up

"Do you even need to ask? It's the same.."

"Gosh.. We really need to do something.."

"Like we haven't tried.." Yoochun sighed

I stopped eating and looked at the clock

"Is he sleeping?"

"Probably.. He sleeps a lot cause it is easier to forget.. When he's awake the brain keeps thinking about her.."

"He's still wearing her couple ring huh?" I asked

Yoochun nodded

"I don't think he will be able to get over her.. 1 month has already passed.. and.. I wonder how long it's gonna take him to move on.."

"To judge by the situation right now, Never"

Both of us looked up to see Junsu enter
Junsu sat down right next to us and shrugged

"He went to Han River today"

"How do you know?" I asked

"I was out jogging.. and then I saw him sitting by the bench.."

"Oh.. the place.. where they used to exchange letters?" Yoochun asked

"Probably.. I don't know.. Anyway, he was sitting there.. For an hour before he went back to the dorm"

"So that's the place where they exchanged letters.." I mumbled

"I think so.. Cause I saw him.. lift one stone from the ground and stared down at it before putting it back.." Junsu said

"We need to keep an eye from him.." Yoochun said

"Hey guys.. something hit me.." Junsu said slowly

"What?" I asked

"I know it's really really wrong to think about it like this.. but you don't think he's.. so depressed.. that he..."

"What?" Yoochun asked

Junsu swallowed hard and leaned forward

"That he would actually.. commit suicide.. starts taking drugs or something?" Junsu whispered

"YAH!!!" I shouted

"HEY! From my point of view, anything seems possible at the moment!" Junsu shouted

"Hey guys.. why are you.. screaming..? Yunho's.. sleeping.."

All three of us looked at the doorentrance to see a newly awake JaeJoong. He entered the kitchen and poured himself some water

"Go to sleep.. you need your energy" He mumbled before going back to his bedroom

"Hyung, don't you ever think about those kinds of stuff" I said

"Ok ok.. I won't!" Junsu said

"Go to sleep.. you heard him" Yoochun said and stood up

I sighed and grabbed the newspaper with me

"Why are you bringing that along?" Junsu asked

"Checking up some places to work at during summer" I said

The next day as I was having breakfast with Yunho and Junsu, JaeJoong and Yoochun still sleeping, I was searching through the newspaper hurriedly

"I really don't want to work as a phone salesman.." I said

"Then don't. There must be something else.." Yunho said and sat down with his cup of tea

"What about that?" Junsu said and pointed

"Personal assistant at a Hospital?" I asked

"Sounds nice.. and easy. Probably lots of money too" Yunho said

"Hey hyung.. have you heard anything about Yumi?" Junsu asked

Yunho shook his head

"I've been .. checking.. but there's seriously no sign of her.. it's like.. she disappeared.. just left the country or something.." Yunho said

I grabbed the phone and dialed the number

"Annyeong haseo. You just dialed the number to SKD Hospital. How can I help you?" A female voice said

I walked out of the kitchen with the phone and the newspaper in my hand

"Annyeong haseo. Choikang Changmin Imnida~~ I was reading your article in the newspaper, for personal assistants. I was wondering if it's still available?" I said politely

"Oh.. annyeong haseo. Yes we do in fact. How about we set up a meeting for an interview?" The girl asked

"Sounds great" I cheered

I heard the girl chuckle

"Where do you live Sir?"

"Seoul"

"Oh.. But our hospital is pretty far away.. IT takes about 1,5 h to get here by bus" The girl said

"I go by car" I said

"Ahh~~ But we can offer you a room if you'd like to stay here. Anyways, if you go by car it'll take only 1 h to get here"

"Sounds great"

"Is tomorrow a good day for you to book a meeting?"

"Yes sure!" I said

"Great! Then I'll see you at 2 pm in the afternoon!"

I hung up and went back into the kitchen

"How did it go?" Yunho asked

"Good. I managed to get myself a job interview tomorrow.."

"Oh Nice! Congratz! So.. uhm.. what are you suppose to do?" Junsu said

I shrugged

"Probably helping people. Assist people who needs my help. Play with kids? I don't know. It's a hospital so I guess it's for people who needs extra help.." I said and sat down..
