ghost of you [yeonbin]

grieving

"Papa, be careful you might trip." A young gentleman carefully help an elderly man who looks like he was in his 50s to walk into the house.

"It's okay Seojun ah, this is my house. I know where I will trip or not." The old man chuckles. He doesn't look too old honestly, just a few wrinkles here and there but his visual can still captivated anyone who sees him.

When they both settles down at the center of the living room, another young gentleman came into their house with a big bag in his right hands. He plopped it down and look around the house.

"Fuhh, it's been years since we came back here. Things starting to get dusty. Seojun ah, help me with papa's boxes." He called the other casually and go back outside.

Seojun look at his father with a guilty face. "Papa, you can take care of yourself right? I'm gonna help Junsoo hyung for a little bit."

"Aigoo, I'm only 51 years old this year, don't make it sound like I just turned 100 yesterday." He softly flicked his son's forehead which he only got giggles as a reply before the younger dashed out to help his brother.

The old man was left alone in the living room. He look around the house with a sorrowful expression, then he closed his eyes and take a deep breath.

"I missed you so much Soobin ah." He walked around to reminisce inch and every corner of the house. Each one of them brings many types of memories to him.

Then he sees the stairs that connected between the two floor. Without a warning a flashback was playing in his mind.

"Seojun! Junsoo! Don't run at the stairs! You'll trip!" Soobin yelled from the kitchen as he has the full view of his sons playing at a highly potential dangerous place. Then he sigh in distressed and shake his head in defeat when he saw his husband also follow the two playing around the stairs.

"Yeonjun hyung stop running. At this rate all of you might get a serious injuries." He put down the spatula that he was using to cook and turn off the stove before making his way towards the three.

They were still running around so when they passed infront of him, he just swoon both of them into his arms.

"Appa, let us down or we'll lose to papa." And that's when Yeonjun quickly went to the two and tickles both of them at the same time.

"Papa finally win." Yeonjun joyfully cheer for himself.

"That's not fair, appa help papa." The two elders look at each other and then let out a big wide smile.

"For me it's fair since you both are in a team so appa can also help papa." Soobin backing up his husband and the two can just pout since what their father said is true.

"Fine but we'll win next time." Junsoo trying to be intimidating but it just came out as  adorable to his fathers.

"Alright then but remember, don't play at a dangerous place, okay."

"Okay appa."

"I missed listening to his nagging." He softy muttered. With a heavy steps he walk through the stairs.

He inhale as much air as he can and slowly let it all out. After preparing himself, he finally open the wooden door. It was their bedroom, it was Soobin and Yeonjun's bedroom.

He look around the room with a teary eyes. All of those years of memories starts playing in his head. Then his eyes was attracted to an album that was lying on the bed. He then sit on the edge of the bed and softly touch the sheet.

"Did you come back here honey?" He asked through the thin air. He got no replies except the sound of birds chirping loudly from the outside.

"I missed you too my bunny." He take the album and flip over the pages one by one. The more he sees the fatter the tears in his eyes.

The picture of their wedding day, the first day their brought their sons into their home, when they were at the beach, their sons' first day at school and at the very last page it has their family picture.

"Soobin, come back to me please." He then again plead for something that can never be fulfilled.

At last, he can no longer can control his emotion and finally bust out a load of tears and his cries of sorrow can be heard from the first floor.

The two who was busy arranging all of the boxes in the living room was startled by their father's cries but they understand his feeling.

"Let just leave papa be, he must've missed appa so much till he even move back here. Though he knows it will only bring more pain to him." Seojun nodded at his brother's words. They both knows how much their fathers love each other so when one of them leave too early, the one that was being left can't help but to grieve.

After a few minutes, Yeonjun managed to calm himself down. His eyes were already puffy and he has runny nose. He take a deep breath and let it all out slowly.

"I hope we can have our one last dance." he softly muttered as his eyes fluttered softly, shutting it slowly.

"please,"
