Jinwoo extended his arm to his side and felt the sheets, just the sheets. It used to be occupied by someone. It was supposed to be occupied.

He didn't know why he still sleeps on one side of the bed, when he can lay down at the center and take every space there is.

Is he waiting? Why would he be waiting?

Jinwoo turned his body to that empty space beside him, stared at it imagining him lying down with him, asking him how his day was and telling him about his own musings.

Jinwoo misses him.

He yawns and moved back to his previous position.

He scooted to the middle of his bed and stretched his arms and his legs.

Jinwoo sighed.

He's gone. He's definitely gone. Jinwoo got the whole house to himself now.

He left him. Mino left him because he got tired. Mino got tired of waiting for him to take up the courage and...

And admit he loves him too. Mino wanted him, but he turned him down.

Mino knew he wanted him too, so he waited and waited. But not anymore.

In his dark lonely room, Jinwoo let the sides of his lips lift up, just as he let some tears fall from his eyes.

He should've not let him go.

He should've let go of everything else but Mino. He should've just jumped in the car with him, and say to hell with everything else - everyone else.

Jinwoo got up. He wiped the tears with his fingers and climbed off the bed.

He went to the kitchen and got himself a can of beer from his fridge. He was surprised to see the fridge almost filled with food containers.

Forgetting the beverage, he went back to his room and grabbed his phone from the bedside table. He was about to text his manager, but a new message stopped him.

'Hyung, I forgot to text you earlier. My mom cooked a lot of food today so I thought of bringing you some. I put them in the fridge. Just heat them up in the microwave. Always eat well, Jinwoo hyung. And take care.'

Jinwoo blinked. His sight blurred.

He sat down his bed, and hugged his phone on his chest.

For a second, he thought of calling him. But then he realized for what? He can't keep pulling him only to push him back again.

Mino deserves to be free. He deserves to be happy.
