The story of us// Hyunlix

At the bus station

August 2021
I sat down on the ground next to the grave and looked at the name engraved on it.

"Hi, Ji," I said.

It was now two years since he had died and I came to visit his grave each time I would come to Korea. I would sit there and talk to a stone about my day just like I would with Jisung.

"I think I'll be graduating early. Dad said that once I graduate I can work for his company as a web developer," I said and kept ranting about random things until my phone rang.

"Hey," I said.

"Hey, babe. Where are you?" asked Hyunjin in a sleepy voice.

It was early in the morning and he was still asleep when I had gone out.

"I'm out. Came to the graveyard to visit Ji..."

"Oh ok...Want me to come to pick you up?" he asked.

"No, don't worry I'll walk home it's not far" I replied and heard him groan.

"What did you do?" I giggled.

"I hit my arm on the wall when I turned around," he said, and knowing him he was probably pouting.

"Dumbass" I sighed.

"Ok, I'll hang up now. Don't stay out too long I already miss you" he then said.

"Ok Jinnie. I'll go see Minho and then I'll be home" I said and then we hung up.

"Goodbye for now Ji. I'll come to visit you again next time." I said and after getting my bag from the ground I made my way to Minho's office, which was nearby.I walked in and saw Mina, his assistant sitting at his desk.

"Good morning Mina," I said and she looked up at me with a smile.

"Oh hey, Felix," she said and came to greet me with a hug.

"How are you?"

"I'm fine. You?"

"Greate" she smiled.

"Where's my stupid cousin?"

"He's in a meeting with an important client right now," she said and I nodded.

"Will it take long?"

"Probably not, 10 more minutes. Want some tea?" she asked me.

"Sure" I replied and sat down.

We both drank tea and talked for a while. She was very nice I always enjoyed her company, made me feel calm, kind of like Chan. Thinking about it now, it made so much sense that they got together.

"How is he doing?" I asked and she gave me a look that said it all.

"He's throwing himself into work and he doesn't really want to speak with anyone"

"I get it." I sighed.

"It pains to see him like that..." she said and I nodded.

At that moment, the man in question entered the room.

"Mina could you please clear out my schedule for tomorrow I'll have to meet Mr. Yang- oh hey Lix," he said when he finally noticed me there.

"Hey Min"

"What are you doing here?" he said before coming to give me a hug.

"Came to say hi. Your busy ass would have never come to visit me otherwise" I replied hugging him back.
