Joon sighed and splashed the cold water onto his face. He eyed his image in the mirror with sad eyes. This was him. This was a face of a guy that had turned his back on his own brothers. The face of a guy that had cold heartedly broken his brothers.

"You have walked away once. Don't turn back. Instead of saying sorry, just keep walking away so I... So we can turn and walk away from you as well."

Grabbing his head, he sobbed quietly. Those words from GO had sent his glass-like heart falling onto a stone, shattering it to pieces. GO wanted them to move on. Kept walking on the path they had chosen which meant kept walking away from each other, widening the gap into an unreachable distance. He wanted to say no to those words. But he couldn't. He had no right and all he could say yet again was that same word. "Sorry."

As those words struck him hard, he wondered if this was exactly what the other three felt when he and Sanghyun left. Was this the feeling of seeing your brothers' back on you, walking farther away from you, without looking back even once, leaving you back alone in the darkness. And he felt empty.

He had turned his pleading wet eyes on Seungho. Hoping Seungho would ask GO to take back those words, but Seungho was just hanging his head low. Just like him, but for a different reason, Seungho couldn't say no to those words. And just like that... He had lost his brothers. He lost them and it was all because of him.

Sanghyun sighed when there was no answer from Joon. So he decided to just invite himself in since he did know the password to Joon's house. Walking inside, he frowned upon the messy sight of the house. As far as he knew, Joon wouldn't let his house got this messy no matter how busy he was.

"Joon hyung?" He called as he pushed open the bedroom door. Still no answer, but he saw the lump under the blanket on the bed. Stroding towards the lump, he patted on what he guessed was Joon's thigh. "Hyung?Are you okay?" Still no answer. Sanghyun pulled on the blanket and revealed Joon's tired face. His eyes were bloodshot and puffy. His cheeks had sunken even more. He looked... Miserable. "What happened?" Sanghyun asked in worries.

Joon just shook his head as he sat up on the bed. "Why are you here?"

"I'm worried. You didn't answer my call." Sanghyun explained. "Are you unwell? Let's go to clinic. Or should I call your mother?"

"Sanghyun." Joon called, eyeing Sanghyun sadly. Sanghyun stopped his concerned rambling and turned his attention on the older. "Don't you think it's empty?" He asked.

Sanghyun blinked in confusion before he looked around the room. The room was far from being empty. "It's not?" He hesitated that his answer sounded like question. He didn't catch the hidden meaning behind Joon's question.

Joon put a hand over his chest. "It's empty." He whispered, looking away from Sanghyun to the table by the side of the bed. There was a picture frame there and in it was that picture. The picture of them as five. So Joon never return that picture to Mir.

Sanghyun his lips as his eyes glued to that same picture. He understood what Joon was trying to say. He was more than understood because he was in that exactly same situation before. He felt all those emptiness. He saw all those darkness. He heard all those silence. But, now,he felt lighter. Because of Mir. Because of that kind-hearted boy. Because of a brother who claimed to hate him, yet still coming to see him and helped him heal. Because of a brother whom he had hurt so much but never had the heart to hurt him back.

Yes. After that fated night he stumbled upon Mir at that park, he had been going back the very same park at the same time every night. He thought he was a fool for doing that because Mir never promised to come back again the next night. But he wasn't. He wasn't a fool because Mir did come. On his bike, Mir cycled in a slow motion like the night before, letting Sanghyun jogged by his side. Mir kept him company and every night, he was looking forward to meet the younger even when there was just silence between them. He still felt lighter. Mir made him feel lighter. He could finally breath.

Sanghyun felt something creeping under his skin. Guilt. Seeing Joon like this, he wanted to just bring the older to meet Mir. To join his and Mir's secret meet. But he was afraid. He was afraid that if he did that, Mir would leave and never come back. He was afraid he would lost Mir again when he, himself just barely able to reach Mir's shadow. So, he kept quiet. He knew it was selfish. But, he was scared. Really scared. He couldn't afford to watch Mir walked away from him again. Not again. Because of that, he needed to wait. Joon had to wait. "Just be patient for a little bit more hyung." Sanghyun let the words of 'until they got Mir's trust back' hung in the air.

"What do you mean?" Joon asked, looking clueless.

Sanghyun gave out a small smile. "Just wait for a little bit more." He repeated. Joon didn't push further for explanation, instead, he absentmindedly nodded. He had always trust Sanghyun. Whatever Sanghyun meant, he knew it was for his sake too.
