"Seobin? How do you feel to come here after so long?" I asked Seobin, who had intertwined his hand with mine.

"Me? It's more about you, you have more memories here." He said.

"Yeah, I do, but they're about almost everyone I know, for you, it's only my memories."

"Yeah.. that's right. Then I'll say I feel really good after coming here." He answered.

"Is that all you want to say?" I asked, unbelievingly.

"Yeah, Mr. Jiwoong, I am sorry that my vocabulary and the capability of my brain to come up with something creative sucks, unlike you." He replied sarcastically.

"Well.. do you want to go see my dad?" I asked him.

"Your dad?" He asked back, not knowing.

"Well.. I really want to see him right now."

"Okay then, let's go." He grabbed my hand again and I guided him to the same mountain we visited two years ago, together.

"Why are we going here? Isn't your house over there?" He asked, to which I did not respond.

We were abnormally quite today, but it was alright, since we got to be together. I took our hands apart after we finally reached the mountain, the same very place where we took the picture of the sunrise together.

"Why are we here?" Seobin asked, again.

"Look down." He shifted his glance towards the ground when he noticed a grave.

"Uncle..." He said, understanding what had happened.

"How did this..."

"He was sick, he told me to bury him at the place which made me feel the happiest." I explained.

"Jiwoong..." He pouted, I could notice the tiny tears in his eyes when he suddenly pulled me in a hug.

"I'm sorry.." He said and started crying.

"Seobin... when it was still two years back, I waited for you for five days, and when you still did not return, I took away all your photos with me, I'm sorry about that." I confessed.

"And I was wondering where all my handsome pictures disappeared at."

"Stop being so sarcastic, I said I'm sorry." I sulked.

"By that I remember, I just bought a new instant camera."

"Really? Do you have it here?" I asked excitedly.

"Yeah, wait a minute." He pulled out a camera from his bag and showed it to me.

"Let's go outside." He suggested and we both went outside in the field to take pictures.

----

"Enough already! You will finish the roll of your new camera!" I yelled at Seobin.

"Come on! I can buy a new one! But I can't buy a new boyfriend!"

"Aish.. seriously, this boy." I pat his head.

"Just one more, please?"

"No." I denied.

"Please one more, please."

"Alright, fine." I accepted his whining.

"As if I would leave you if you don't do it. Even if I had to run away, I'd still run away after you let me take those pictures!" He exclaimed.

"Even if I had to run away... I'd still run after-" He interrupted me before I could complete my sentence.

"You." He said while smiling. "Thanks for running after me, that night at the wedding, thank you so much, thank you for having me back even though I was afraid, thank you for everything you have done for me, really." He smiled at me.

"Don't forget that I will chase you everywhere and every time you run away." I smiled at him as we sat on the grass, gazing at those same old stars we did two years ago.
