Holding a bouquet of white roses, Chanyeol walked on the beautiful narrow road with you following behind. Your eyes never leaving your feet as the flashbacks rushed through your mind.

8 years ago

You were running in the park with your elder brother running behind to catch you.

"Oppa that's cheating! you're running too slow!", you yelled at your brother for slowing down and letting you win.
"Who said that? I'm running at the highest speed", he said while running trying his best to sound truthful.
"No, you're not! Come get me now!", you smiled mischievously and ran towards the road full of traffic.
"Y/N don't go there!", your brother yelled from behind but you didn't listen. Giggling to yourself, you kept running knowing that this time he'll catch you. Little did you know it was the last time you'll get to see him. You were already on the road when a loud honk caught your attention. Your feet were frozen on the spot seeing the big truck speeding towards you. You shut your eyes in fear.
" Y/N!"
That was the last time you heard that voice as you felt strong arms pushing you away from your spot.
When you opened your eyes, you were lying beside the road, your body all bruised up. You turned to look at your savior and found your brother lying unconscious, his blood rushing down the road. You crawled towards him and patted his cheeks.
"Oppa! Oppa wake up! I'm sorry...I won't run on the road..never!I promise, Oppa..please wake up!", tears streamed down your cheeks as your 10 years old self kept whimpering. Soon you felt pair of hands dragging you away from your brother since the ambulance arrived to take him in. You screamed and cried until you were tired.

A few moments later, you were also taken to the hospital where your brother was. The nurses took care of your bruises and then took you to your parents who were already at the hospital waiting for the doctors to give them updates about your brother. Your Dad hugged you as soon as he saw you, telling you that he was grateful that you were fine. You cried in his embrace telling him it was all your fault that your brother was in the hospital but he patted you back saying it wasn't your fault and your brother was gonna be alright. You looked over his shoulder to take a look at your mother who was sitting on the chair emotionlessly, tears staining her cheeks. You walked towards her and took her hands in yours before sitting beside her feet.

"Eomma..I-I'm so sorry..I-", you whispered. The feeling of a huge lump in your throat stopping you from uttering any more words.
Your mother didn't even look at you, her blank stare was fixed the door in front of her. It was as if you weren't even visible. Your Dad softly held your arm and pulled you up to stand. He made you sit on a chair to calm you down whispering into your ear "It wasn't your fault" again and again.
After what felt like an eternity, the doctor came out of the operating room with a dark face. All of you rushed towards him to know about your brother's state. The thing he said next rang in your ears as you saw your mother letting out a whimper and fainting. Your Dad rushed to hold her with tears in his eyes. Everything around you seemed to get darker and darker.
You were falling.
And that's when your life started to get upside down.

End of flashback

You were brought back to reality by Chanyeol standing in front of you shaking your shoulders slightly with his expression full of worries.
"Y/N, are you alright?", he asked softly.
"Yeah I'm fine..just the flashbacks", you chuckled nervously.
He patted your shoulder and intertwined your fingers with his before walking forward.
As soon as you reached there, you found him beautifully smiling at you in the photo attached to the top of the gravestone. His name was engraved on the stone with golden letters-"Lee Jongin".(A/N: I'm sorry for changing his surname. I had to match it with yours)

Chanyeol placed the bouquet of white roses on his grave and sat on the grass in front of the grave. He patted the space beside him for you to sit down. You smiled at him and sat down on the grass as well.
"Kai-ya, Hello!" he chuckled softly,  "How have you been? Look! I brought Y/N with me. Do you know she didn't want to come with me thinking you might be mad at her for not visiting you often? Yeah, I know she's as stupid as before. Little did she know how much you love her. Should I tell her what you told me before I left? I kept your promise. I treat her like my own sister and obviously, I didn't flirt with her. Kai-ya, how did you know that you'll leave this sooner? I miss you, buddy", his voice cracked as he looked down on his lap to hide his tears. You leaned forward and hugged him. He hugged you back burying his face in the crook of your neck. Your own tears threatened to fall but you held back.
"No Y/N, don't cry in here. You must stay strong", you said to yourself.
