" Im sure I place it here, now where is it?" Beomgyu's stated with a concerned voice looking for his bag, then Taehyun suddenly walked into the room, visibly dressed and prepared with his keys.

"Taehyunieee, did you see my leather bag?"

Taehyun gave his boyfriend a smile and replied, " It's already on the car, do you have anything else to bring?"

" Thank God, I thought I lost it. Hmm? I want to bring my guitar but it's quite big,  I guess that's it."

"Alright, but if you really want to bring them it's okay." But Beomgyu confirmed it with a smile.

All of their stuffs was now packed and ready to go, but Beomgyu still need to bid his farewells, to wrap up everything that happened years ago.

First, Beomgyu start to visit his grandmother's at the garden. He once again stood humbly and sorry for the scene he and miyoon cause the family. He gave his grandmothers an assurance that he'll continue his dream to become a fashion designer, to create his own label, not only for them to be proud of, but for himself to fulfill his dreams.

The grandmas' acknowledge and respect beomgyu's decision with proud. They never failed on raising him. As for his relationship with Taehyun, the grandmas' blesses their relationship as well, giving the couple an emotional support and respect.

Second, Beomgyu bid his farewell to his family. To his mother and father, that he longs for years and for his brother who always stood for him. He bowed down his head with gratitude to his family and promise to reconnect with them in a stronger bond and form. Beomgyu's parents are very much proud for his development. Truly, that the challenges and hardships of life taught Beomgyu to be wise, matured and an responsible adult.

Lastly, Beomgyu went to Mi Yoon. With his sweat palms, Beomgyu stood in front of Mi Yoon and her father's residence to bid his final farewell. "Mi Yoon?" He knocked 3 times hoping that his cousin will welcome his presence. After a minute or 2, it opened.

"Beomgyu" Mi Yoon said a casual voice.

"Hi!" Beomgyu look so sheepish standing there, with blank words to say.

"Would you like to come in, for a coffee or tea?" Mi Yoon offered and Beomgyu gladly accept her with a smile.

As Beomgyu enters the house, he noticed that nothing has changed. The walls we're still soft pink as ever, the pictures was still framed on the wall and the big cabin of toys where him and Mi Yoon used was still there. Beomgyu notice the paper dolls that they decorate, he caressed them and reminisce the whole moment of childhood game they used to play.

" You found Beom and Yoonie. Dad told me to throw this things after that argument but-"

" You didn't because you know all of these toys are my favorite, and you know how much they mean to us"

Mi Yoon look at Beomgyu's eyes and smile.

"Why?" Beomgyu asked once more.

" Let's just say, I'm driven by jealousy. But I can't hate you completely enough. I'm sorry again, gyu" She said sincerely

Beomgyu proceed to hug her and for the last 5 years, they both felt the same towards each other, it's like the old times, when they were kids.  Many things happen between them, both had learned from their decisions and choices, both had learn to forgive and retake. The warmth of their youth makes them family one again.

Maybe that silly talking snowman was right, some things never changed.

"Shall we?" Taehyun opened the passenger seat for Beomgyu.

Beomgyu gave a big wave and bow on his parents before getting into the car. He finally made it. Beomgyu finally fixed what has been distorted years ago. Today was indeed a turning point for all of them

Taehyun gave his final bow at Beomgyu's family before following Beomgyu into the car. He starts it's engine and look at his lover sitting next to him.

" Ready to leave those traces behind?"

" No, I'm not leaving, I just got back on track"

Taehyun smiled at Beomgyu's words and start to drive.

The night was almost perfect, until the final scene needs to perform a play. Taehyun drive into a curve road about 5kilometers more to reach the airport, until a heavy blast of rain pour above them.

The roads visibility was almost engulfed by the rain, Taehyun was about to put their drive on a stop until the rain goes off, but just then...

A bright pair of light flashes right before their eyes.....
