✔️ WσσSαɳ: BESIDE YOU (18+)

WooSan: 24

The day of Yunho's parents' funeral.

Mingi approached Yunho kneeling in front of his parents' coffin.

"Yunho... Wooyoung and San already want to go home..."

When Wooyoung and San approached him, he stood up.

"My condolences to you, Yunho." San said.

"Thank you for coming, Woo.. San.." he said as he bowed down his head to them.

"Do you want me to be here with you?" Wooyoung asked.

Yunho shook his head. "It's okay. You go back with San. I'm fine."

"You sure? If you want Wooyoung to accompany you, I can go home myself." San said.

Wooyoung nodded. "That's right. Besides.. His feelings are not important now.. We're nothing more than friends."

Hearing that, San turned to face Wooyoung next to him. A little bit upset with his words.

"Then... I'm leaving now." San patted Yunho's shoulder before he left the room and headed to the dorm.

Mingi was flustered seeing Wooyoung's rude behavior.

"Yunho... I want to talk to Woo for a while. I'll be back."

Wooyoung frowned when Mingi pulled his hand and dragged him out of the room.

"Oi, what the hell is wrong with you?" Wooyoung asked.

Mingi let go of his hand roughly. "I should have asked that. What the hell is wrong with you, Woo?"

"Why me? What have I done?"

"When will you think before you say something?"

Wooyoung frowned. "What did I say?"

"Can't you think about San's feelings before you say anything to him?"

Wooyoung silent.

"Let me tell you this. If he really likes you, but you don't like him. You can't treat him like he's heartless. If you can't like him back, at least see him as a friend. Your friend who helps you a lot."

Wooyoung sighed. "When will you stop reminding me about that, huh?"

"Until you know how to be grateful." Mingi said furious

"In this life..." Yunho said suddenly appearing.

"We don't only have one person... but... we are surrounded by many people... People who love us... and people who hate us. These two people... We don't know who will remain with us in difficult and happy."

Mingi nodded agreed. "You should be grateful, you have San in your life. Is it really hard for you to at least appreciate his existence?"

"Appreciate him while he's still around... Just go back to your dorm, Woo. Mingi can keep me company."

Yunho's wet eyes stared at his mother's picture, still crying kneeling in front of the coffin.

Mingi walked entering the room slowly and approached him.

He knelt behind Yunho and hugged him in a back hug.

Yunho held Mingi's hand, then cried as much as he wanted and apparently, Mingi tears fall down to his cheeks too.

After a while, they leaned against the wall of the room next to the coffin.

Mingi held Yunho's hand tightly as Yunho leaned on his shoulder.

"Do you remember the first time I introduced you to them?" Yunho asked.
