"12월 01일"

"December 1st"

Weeks have passed, Beomgyu was sent back home. Everything was back to 'normal'-well that was what he thought. It was a gloomy afternoon of December 1st as he decided to walk outside after a long time. He went to go visit her, carrying a small bouquet of her favorite flowers, poppies and white roses, and ice cream. While he was walking, he felt something walk between his legs.

A black and white cat.

"Hello there." Beomgyu said as he crouched to the cat's level and pet its head. He gave it a piece of biscuit and went, not noticing that the cat didn't eat the biscuit he gave and followed him instead.

He placed the flowers on her nameplate as he arrived to her grave, sitting on the grass.

"Happy Birthday, Nundeongi."

He had stayed there for hours, it was now night. "I have to go home now." He said as he got up and got his things. "I'll come back tomorrow." He said, a small smile crept on his face and went.

He went to the café, where they were supposed to meet that day. His hand clenching as he remembered what had happened, making him cross the crosswalk.

Snap out of it, Beomgyu.

"Uh, watch out!" He heard a boy said as he held his wrist and pulled him back before the speeding motorcycle could even hit him, his senses returning, both breathing heavily. "Are you okay?" The younger boy asked with a worried look on his face as he let go of his wrist. "Y-yes, I'm alright." He answered, his hand on his forehead. 

The boy looked oddly familiar to him.

"Please be careful." "I heard many people got hit around here during rainy days." The boy added.

"I'll get going, please be careful." He said as he bowed and went.

Ugh, what is wrong with me?!

"You're back. I made some noodles." His roommate, Ruri said as he got inside their apartment. "Hey, you okay?" "You look worn out." She added as he laid down on the couch with his forearm covering eyes. "I'm fine."

"I almost got hit again." "Luckily a boy pulled me away."

"What?! I knew it wasn't a good idea to let you walk outside alone!" The girl said as she got herself a bowl of noodles and chopsticks. "I told you to be careful and you promised that you would!" She scolded as she angrily ate. "I'm never letting you go outside without someone with you."

"I'm sorry, I was dazed when that happened." He said as he felt something went to his chest, making him look at it. It was the black, odd-eyed cat, Yeongwon, laying on him. "Why? Where were you?" She asked as she saw him caressing the black cat. "At the café." He answered.

"Sigh, I should've warned you about the café before." She said as she slightly shook her head, going to the sink to put the bowl and chopsticks she used. Then she went and sat down on the floor with her head on the couch.

"Taehyun told me you didn't leave me there. You only leave me when they come." He said, breaking the silence between them. "He even told me that you cried." He added as a smile crept on his face. "You missed me, didn't you?"

"Aish, that snitch. Who wouldn't cry?! You looked like you were dying!" "And I wasn't the only one who cried! Even the boys cried!" She said as she hit his leg, making him chuckle. "I kept on worrying when I'm away from you!" "I thought I was gonna lose you!" She added as she covered her face with her hands. "I'm sorry.." He softly said. He knew the girl was scared of losing someone close to her again. "It's not your fault."

"Thank you for taking care of me."

"I'm just returning the things you did to me."

"Even if you're such a dummy, I still took care of you." She said, jokingly.
"I just thanked you and you just called me a dummy?" He said, making her giggle. "We're both dummies." She said as she chuckled. "Agreed." 

"But you're dumber." The girl said as she giggled.

"And you're the dumbest." He said as he saw her shaking her head.

"No, you're the dumbest."

"You're the dumbest."

"Soobin's the dumbest."

"Yeah, Soobin's the dumbest."
