Seonwoo just came home from school when he notices that the sign board on Sunghoon's house is being taken away by the caretaker.

“Ahjussi?” Seonwoo called out, curiously eyeing the man on the other side of the wooden fence.

“Seonwoo-ssi,” the man greeted, smiling at him. “You'll be having new neighbors. Maybe they'll move in on saturday, they're also students but from different school.”

Seonwoo felt a little disappointed.

He thought Sunghoon's parents have withdrawn their plan on selling this house, but it turns out that it's already bought.

“They're close to your age, you'll have another friends,” the caretaker spoke again after noticing the pout on Seonwoo's lips.

“But, Sunghoon,” Seonwoo whispers.

The caretaker smiles fondly at Seonwoo. He's been one of the witnesses of the two's friendship eversince they met.

“Of course, Sunghoon will always remain as your bestfriend,” the caretaker said.

Seonwoo shrugged as he turn around with a salty look on his face.

He's badly missing his bestfriend.

Sunghoon was currently sitting on a toilet seat as he scrolls down his phone, refreshing the page repeatedly.

He have no time to check his phone so he decided to fake a bathroom break after hours of practicing.

Finally, Seonwoo's message appeared on his screen.

He quickly clicked on it, not minding the low connection of his internet as he watched the video on its lowest resolution.

+++

It was a video of Seonwoo's living room.

Someone was holding the camera from behind as it walks around the house.

“Guess what,” Jay speaks, “I've come here for a surprise sleepover, only to see that baby Seonwoo is crying.”

“He's nowhere to see, right? I was nervous when no one answered my calls,” Jay continued as he let the camera capture the almost empty house.

Jay then opened the front door and walked out of the house. He continued walking until he was in front of Sunghoon's old house.

“Apparently, your house was sold,” Jay says as he continued recording.

After taking a full shot of the house, Jay walked back inside Seonwoo's house. He directed to Seonwoo's bedroom and opened the door.

Seonwoo was straightly lying on his bed with a pillow covering his face.

“He's already sleep, by the way, but if I take this out,” Jay says as he took the pillow on Seonwoo's face.

It revealed the dry tears in Seonwoo's cheeks, his face still red and swollen.

But then, suddenly, Seonwoo fluttered his eyes open and burst out in laughter.

Jay laughs as well, the camera shakes being affected.

“Don't send it to Sunghoon-hyung, I might look ugly,” Seonwoo says.

Jay continued laughing.

“Why would you record me sleeping? Stop exposing me,” Seonwoo argued.

Seonwoo stood up from the bed and took the camera to Jay.

“And I'm not a baby,” Seonwoo speaks before ending the video.

+++

Seonwoo cried.

Just the thought of it made Sunghoon let out a sad smile.

He, too, missed Seonwoo. Way, way, too much.

I'll be back, I promise|

Sunghoon erased the sentence he had typed before exiting the app, leaving Seonwoo's message with no reply.
