"You really have to shop at this hour," grumbled Ohm.
"You've been busy all day," replied Dew while pushing the trolley.
Ohm shook his head slowly as he followed behind him. His hands were busy dancing on the screen of his cellphone sent message to Nanon.
'I'm accompanying Dew shopping. In fact, you weren't sleepy, were you? You must know that Dew is coming, don't run away, OK? Your brother will be stressed if you run away'
Dew realises that Ohm's soul is not with him even though he is there.
"Phi ohm," Dew called.
"Why?"
"Who was that?"
"My lovely brother,"
“Big brother? Since when did you have a brother?”
"Ever since you and I were together, we've done our shopping. Come on, go to the cashier and come back, my bro is alone at home. Tomorrow he will return to Aussie,"
Dew just nodded his head in response. Whether ohm intentionally or not, he often utters sentences that make dew's heart ache. Hee felt that ohm was with him because dew asked, not because ohm loved dew.
Dew chose to be silent the whole way,he thought about ohm's words earlier.
"Phi Ohm,"
"Why?"
"Can I have a hug? Just a moment," asked dew spoiled, he held ohm's hands then moved them left and right.
Ohm released dew's hand and hugged him.
"Thank you, You've been a home for me all this time, obeyed all my wishes, sorry, all this time I've been like a child, like to be cranky, spoiled, and selfish. Even though it's clear I know that someone has got a special place in your heart. I played stupid, suppressed the pain just to be beside you." dew's shoulders shook, he cried in ohm's arms.
Ohm was silent and gently stroked dew's back. Let dew express his heart.
"You promised me, you will be there for me even though we will only be FRIENDS. I will not force you to be by my side anymore, you have the right to be happy. Chase him, sometimes it's not that we don't have a choice but are more afraid to choose. I will be happy if you are happy," dew raised his head, ohm smiled when their eyes met. He gently wiped the tears on dew's cheeks.
"Whether there is a choice or not will be the same, our relationship is not a matter of choice. However, the universe does not allow us to choose. Dew, remember one thing. I am here for you, anytime. Thank you for understanding my position, you should be happy too. You can't be a crybaby," ohm pinched dew cheek gently and then hugged him tightly.

"Why don't you just apply to be a flight attendant?"
"I don't like it!"
"It fits you. Tall, handsome, and clever, " said nanon. He's Secretly took an ohm picture.
"I already told you, if you want to take a picture, let me know, it's hard to tell," ohm grumbled. His arms wrapped around nanon's neck.
"I just like watching your back slowly move away like that,"
Ohm removed his hand from nanon's neck.
"Oh My God. You tsundere, don't sulk like this." nanon muttered.
The reason nanon captured ohm's back was because he didn't like seeing the expression on his face when they had to separate later.

"You're going to their wedding right?"
Ohm nodded his head.
"Smile please, don't be like you have a toothache like this, please. Your handsomeness is redundant, you know?" Nanon pulled the corners of ohm's lips up.
Ohm suddenly hugged nanon.
" promise me,"
"What? "
" Pick up my phone, respond to my chat, don't disappear again, no news, OK?"
silence. Nanon chose to be silent. Since meeting ohm again, they haven't once hugged like this. The solid wall that nanon had built collapsed in an instant, his eyelids were wet, he missed ohm's warm embrace. However, he was reluctant to admit it.
"Thank you. I have to go in, be well my bro, see you next week," nanon let go of his hug and ruffled ohm's hair roughly.
