Thank you, this song is for my friend

In my life, I'll forget about the tears and scars the world has given me

When you reach out and take my hand
You pull me from the dark room of my memories

One more time, you pull me closer to the light
You understand just by looking at me what I am feeling in my soul

Thank you for you love, you're the only one for me
Your soul is warmer than the hot sun
Don't forget this one name which will last forever, my friend

Days pass faster than we can keep up with..
We'll triumph over ever new challenge that comes our way
You're stuck inside my soul..

No matter what hardships we may face
We'll face them all together
We'll do it together

Thank you, this song is for my friend

"Everytime I see you, you'd have that look like you've just seen a ghost."

"..."

My eyes widened and I froze on the spot, completely forgotten that just less than seconds ago I was rushing with the widest steps I could take, to reach the reserve part of our town, where Mikkeu Falls located, a name I hadn't thought of for quite some time, since the place was closed down some years ago by the Town Hall. But I still remember the directions, since I've went there with Appa, Omma, oppa-deul and unnie-deul years ago when none of these nightmare seem to would ever exist.

"What, don't tell me you forgot who I am, or...do I look like a ghost?"

Slowly my head turned left and right, without me registering it.

"An...dy... oppa?"

"Yah, do I look that scary? He touched his face, half laughing and half frowning.

"No...just...why are you here?"

"Actually..." He held my confused gaze for a second or two, before staring down and sighing to himself.

"...I'm worried about you, after that night's...accident..."

"And?"

He looked up in surprise. Probably wasn't expecting for me to pick up the troubled look he had. Maybe I'm learning to pick up on things. Maybe it was just too obvious.

"Do you have time? Can we talk?"

I shrugged, and then reminded of the conversation I had with Siwan.

"No...I have to go...meet a friend. Maybe later...you can come over to..."

"I'm leaving today."

"Leaving? To where? Why?"

"Hyeonrin..." He suddenly held both my shoulders with his two hands, his face filled with remorse. Why?

"First of all, I want to apologize. For everything. And I want you to remember, that no matter what...don't be mad at...him..."

"Him?"

"Hyesung." His eyes shot up to be met with mine, briefly.

There was a small silence I didn't even realize, until his eyes moved again and only I noticed I had been staring at him. Hearing oppa's name again, in this situation, after all that happened, just hit me with waves of feelings I couldn't explain in words, or actions. Why didn't it even feel like sadness, but more like fear? That feeling alone, made me feel even more like a jerk.

"What's...with oppa?"

"Just promise you won't hate him no matter what."

I nodded cautiously. Why would I hate Hyesung oppa?

My halted trip to Mikkeu Falls was continued with Andy oppa's companionship, but we were both silent the whole way. My mind was a mess. I didn't know who or what to believe anymore. How could Hyesung oppa do that? Why did Andy oppa lied to me before this? Or is he lying to me now? But what would he get from it anyway?

Andy oppa said, that this Eric ssi that Hyesung oppa murdered wasn't actually a bad guy. Hyesung oppa was jealous of Eric's relationship with Andy and thought they're lovers, so he killed Eric, because Andy oppa rejected him and he thought it was because of Eric. But before this, Andy ssi said...there's been too many versions, how could I believe him? But then again...he told that he came to let me know beforehand, because he didn't want me to be shocked when everything came out, because police found the evidence that could link Hyesung oppa to Eric's murder and had been questioning Andy oppa about it in interrogation session. Does this mean Hyesung oppa will be called a murderer now, even after his death? What if it's all lies?

But what if it's the truth? 

It only means...Hyesung oppa is no better than Romeo ssi.

No, it couldn't be.

Hyesung oppa isn't like that.

But he did admit that night that he killed Eric.

Oppa, why did you do that just for love?

Does it hurt that much?

If it didn't, you wouldn't resort to such thing, would you?

"Hyeonrin...where's the people you're looking for? It's getting dark."

"Ah...wait." I tried to not sound too awkward. But it's hard. He just told me that he had been lying all these while, and he just told me that my brother is a murderer, and it wasn't an unintentional killing. What other bombs would be dropped after this
