Last night, Jinwoo had promised to take him to visit his grandma’s grave.

He was also been told that today he didn't need to go to work.

That morning, Taehyun woke up early and waited for Jinwoo to pick him up.

At first, he thought of going to Hanam alone, but Jinwoo insisted to tag along.

He told that he was worried if Taehyun would do anything or something bad might happen.

What am I going to do to myself?

I bet grandma will hate to see me hurting myself.

While standing in front of the mirror fixing his hair, his mind wandered around.

He never thought of getting a good job and a good place to stay.

And also be able to get a very nice employer that actually give him everything that he never asked for.

Sometimes, Taehyun thought that Jinwoo might like him.

Really?

For God’s sake, Taehyun?

Come on, not on earth that will happen.

Never!

He got back to reality when the doorbell rang.

It must be Jinwoo.

He looked into the mirror once again before went to the front door.

The bell kept ringing and ringing as if someone couldn’t wait to get in.

“Wait a minute, Mr...Jinwoo hyung.”

At the moment Taehyun opened the door, he was expecting Jinwoo will be standing there.

“Jinwoo hyung, why…”

To his disbelief, it wasn’t Jinwoo.

It was Seungyoon.

“Seungyoon? What are you doing here?”

He looked around, but he couldn’t see Jinwoo anywhere.

“Did you come here with Jinwoo? Where’s he?”

Seungyoon who was standing in front of him looked puzzled.

“Taehyun-ah, I’m Jinwoo. What’s up with Seungyoon?”

At that moment, Taehyun could saw it was indeed Jinwoo who was standing in front of him.

Not Seungyoon.

How can it be?

Just now, wasn’t it Seungyoon?

“Oh, Mr. Kim. Ani, I meant Jinwoo hyung. When did you arrive?”

Taehyun tried to change the topic and avoid answering Jinwoo’s question.

But to no avail.

“Taehyunnie, just now you called out Seungyoon’s name. Waeyo?”

He tried not to sound jealous or anything, but just want to hear from Taehyun himself.

“I..I…Actually, just now…”

“Oh, it’s okay. Never mind. Don’t think about that anymore.”

Jinwoo thought it might make Taehyun felt uncomfortable so he decided to let it passed.

But deep in Jinwoo's heart, he wanted to know too.

He smiled and to Taehyun’s relief, he didn’t need to answer that question.

“Hyung, just wait for a moment and we’ll go after that.”

“Nae, gwenchana.”

Jinwoo looked at his watch and took a seat on the sofa.

“Take your time, Taehyun-ah. I’m the one who arrived a bit early.”

Taehyun dashed to his room and was hoping that Jinwoo will forget about what had happened just now.

*

Hanam City Cemetery.

It was the last resting place for his grandma, as well as for Jinwoo’s.

Now Taehyun got the idea on how he could meet Jinwoo here in the first place.

Jinwoo told him that he lost his grandparents to a rare disease.

At first, it was his grandma.

And 2 months apart, his grandpa followed suit.

It’s life.

No one is immortal and death will definitely come to us.

Anytime, anywhere.

Even if we are ready or not.

Both of them walked into the cemetery compound before stopped in front of a tombstone.

Seo Hanam.

It was his late grandma’s.

“Hye, grandma. Mianhe, I just come today. I feel like…”

Taehyun couldn’t continue as his eyes were full of tears.

For him, it was so difficult to lose someone whom he loved dearly.

He felt like it was too early for his grandma to depart this life.

“Ssshh, it’s okay, Taehyunnie. At least, she’s in a better place now.”

Jinwoo put Taehyun’s head on his shoulder and pat it gently.

“I really miss her, hyung.”

Without warning, he started to cry his heart out.

All the burden of living alone, and the sadness that he felt.

He wanted to let go of it all.

Even though he knew that it was not good to mourn in front of the dead.

“Taehyun-ah, I feel you. I also felt the same when I lost both of my grandparents, forever.”

Jinwoo wrapped his hands around Taehyun’s shoulder tightly.

Deep inside, he was praying for that boy to stop crying.

It’s not because he was annoyed.

But, he didn’t know the right way to coax someone.

Even when his grandparents died, Jinwoo didn’t let anyone coax him.

That was because he wanted to revive by himself.

Taking up some times to collect back his spirit.

And to become strong at heart again.

Taehyun wiped his eyes and tried to regain back his strength.

He then put down two white roses that he brought earlier onto the tombstone.

“I hope you will like them, grandma.”

He caressed the head of the tombstone and closed his eyes – praying.

Oh Lord, please take good care of my grandma.

She’s the only one that I got.

But now, I had lost her.

And I know, she’s now in Your hand.

Please, Lord.

I’m begging you.

Please take good care of my grandma.

Forever and always.

Keep her in Your hand and grant her the best place.

Amen.

Both of them were getting ready to go back when Taehyun spotted someone from afar.

Someone who he knew.

Someone who he hated so much.

His father.

What is he doing here?

“Jinwoo hyung, let’s go.”

He pulled Jinwoo’s hand and made him confused.

“Why are you rushing? Where do you want to go?”

Taehyun didn’t even bother to answer the questions.

All he wanted to do now is to run from his father.

The one who had abandoned him for some goddamn times.

Now, all he could feel was hatred and disappointment.

Bye for now, grandma.

I will come again and pay you a visit.

I promise.
