Chapter 4

Hyunsuk looking at the stars in the night sky, and he is smiling. Romy sleeping on his lap, purring when Hyunsuk stroking it's fur lightly. "Are you tired, Romy ?" Hyunsuk asked but Romy ignore him. Hyunsuk then nod and continue to stroke it's fur. "I am tired too, tired of my life." Hyunsuk mumble. He took a deep breathe and sigh heavily. Today is November 17, anniversary for the death of his parents. He can't visit their grave to pay respect. He afraid his uncle will locked him if he is coming back to his old house. His eyes teary when he remember about the journey of his life.

"Mom, Dad, you both must be treating me, just like how master Jihoon treat his sons, right ? Kissing my cheeks before I go to school, welcome me home, hugging me everyday." Hyunsuk smile bitterly. "I wish I have that life, but it all sadness." Hyunsuk look up in the sky, tears falling down on his cheeks. "Mom, Dad, I miss you."

"Meow" Romy look up to Hyunsuk. Hyunsuk smiling and patting the cat again. "Sorry I woke you up." Surrounding are silent. Hyunsuk in his own world, remembering about his parents. He is alone now, only Romy, Siyeon and Park family with him. At least he have place to stay and foods to eat. Hyunsuk is grateful about it. "What are you doing here ?" Hyunsuk jolted when he heard a familiar voice. He turn his head and saw Jihoon coming slowly to him. Hyunsuk want to get up but Jihoon signal him to stay seated. Jihoon then seat next to Hyunsuk, on the bench. He look up in the night sky too and smile. "Stars are pretty today. It shine brightly." Hyunsuk nod. He hid his face from Jihoon because he was shy that he is crying earlier. "So, you like to stargaze ?" Hyunsuk shock with the question. He looking at Jihoon and Jihoon could see Hyunsuk's puffy eyes. "Why are you crying, hmm ?" Jihoon asked again and it make Hyunsuk's heart melt.

"I .. it just something I do .. when this day come." Hyunsuk looking down to Romy, hiding his face again. "I will stargazing, when I miss my parents." He answer with small voice but Jihoon still could hear it. "Where are they ?" Jihoon are clueless. He never ask about Hyunsuk's background. They accidentally met and the rest is history. Hyunsuk look up in the sky, and he smile bitterly. "They are gone, up there. Today is their death anniversary." Jihoon silent. He feel guilty because he ask those sensitive question. "I am sorry." Hyunsuk turn his face and smile. "It's okay." Jihoon can hear Hyunsuk voice crack, in the verge of crying. Jihoon tilt his head to look at Hyunsuk's face closely. "Just cry if you want to."

Hyunsuk was shocked when he saw Jihoon's face so close to him. It also make Romy jump and run away. "Romy .." Hyunsuk trail Romy with his eyes. "Hyunsuk .." Jihoon call for him and Hyunsuk looking at Jihoon again. "Just cry. It's okay. Things will get better." Hyunsuk shake his head but his eyes already teary again. "You always saw me cried. I don't want to." Jihoon chuckles at Hyunsuk answer. Slowly he pull Hyunsuk's head closer, leaning on his chest. Hyunsuk froze. "Just hide like this if you want to cry. Cry and let everything out." Hyunsuk can't stop his tears to run again and he burst crying on Jihoon's chest. His heart feel so heavy, he let everything out. His hands clench on Jihoon's shirt while he sobbing hard, bury his face on Jihoon's chest. "You did great. Your parents must be proud of you. Do you know what they will said if they are around ?" Hyunsuk pull himself away and locking eyes with Jihoon. He shake his head and he still sniffles, red eyes and nose because of crying. Jihoon brought his finger to rub away the tears on Hyunsuk's cheeks. "They will definitely say, thank you Hyunsuk, for fighting to live. Be happy, always." Hyunsuk cried again. His sight blurry because of tears. Jihoon smiling and pull him for a hug again. "Crybaby."

Everything going fine for Hyunsuk in that house. These day he getting more happy, surrounded by people that nice to him. That on fine afternoon when Jeongwoo and Junghwan coming back from school. The first thing he heard is Junghwan crying while Jeongwoo scolding him. "Stop crying ! It's normal to get hurt when we play !" Hyunsuk who heard the noise walk to the living area and he found Junghwan crying, holding to his knees. "What happen ? Jeongwoo why Hwanie cried ?" Jeongwoo rolled his eyes. He fall down when we play basketball. Nothing serious." Hyunsuk urge Junghwan to sit on the couch and he quickly took first aid kit. He clean the wound and blew it to sooth the pain. "This will be sting, bear with it, okay ?" Junghwan nod. But as soon as Hyunsuk put ointment on his wound, Junghwan cry again. "Oh shut up, be a man ! Why you cry ?" Junghwan stop crying but he sniffles. Hyunsuk smile and he pat on Junghwan shoulder. "Sorry, endure it a little, okay ? I am putting some ointment." Hyunsuk slowly put the ointment and Junghwan hiss.
