It was 1 in the morning when Hyunjun decides to get up and walk out of his room, quietly. As to not wake up the other member up. He has a lot on his mind to sleep. It's tiring. He recalled back what has been happening for the past few days, where he messed up during practice and couldn't focus. Hyunjun has always been the quiet one in the group, and being the youngest, it sometimes burdens him. Being the youngest gets a lot of attention. And that sometimes can be good, but sometimes, not.

He always finds it difficult, feeling alone in this world. The tears keep falling from his eyes and he began to sob softly. With a lot on his mind, he grabbed his hoodie and left the dorm room quietly. He decided to go on a run and ran until he couldn't breathe anymore. Feeling the pain in his abdomen.

Tired, sad, alone, he leaned over the railing, overlooking the han river. It's always a lot prettier at night. It puts him at ease. Any view is better than anyone.

He saw several notes stuck and wrote on the edge of the outer side of the railing, between the skirting. The messages a mix between encouraging and also the reality. It's what always stops him from going over those notes.

He catches back his breaths, and has his eyes closed. Feeling himself as though he could just fall into the water, and never rising back up. The thought passed his mind. It was until he heard footsteps, and it stopped closed to him.

"You...." The voice spoke.

Hyunjun thought, 'please don't be a stalker.... I'd be in so much trouble if I get busted."

"Alright?" The person continued. Hyunjun rolled his eyes to look at the other. But what he was not expecting was a male about his height. He look as though he might be another idol.

"Yeah, I'm alright." Hyunjun answered, slightly embarrassed. His face must've been sweaty and red too.

"Could you... Step off from the railing... It's dangerous." He said cautiously. Hyunjun wanted to scoff but he didn't. He glared at the boy again, and he found himself not wanting to break the stare.

Hyunjun's secret is that he has never been good with faces. He can recognize those he had seen and spend time for a long time such as his family or his members even though it's not very clear. But it's a major surprise he could see this boy's face clearly even though they never met.

Hyunjun's lips curved upwards and he finally stepped down from the railing. "Ah, it's such a shame to meet a pretty guy when I am in this state." Hyunjun says casually as he wipes his cheek with his finger. The stranger did not reply back at his remark. He began staring at the stranger again, there's just something about the person that he is attracted to, like a magnet. "You're pretty." He blurted out.

"I- I am not."

"You're right, you're really pretty." Hyunjun corrected himself. He's really in awe at how clear he can see the other. Every single details, even the other's freckle. "I'm sorry to ask, but which agency are you from?"

"Huh? I am not in any." The person replied back, slightly annoyed but he assumed the crying boy must've been an actual idol.

"How is that so? I can hook you up with any if you want. I know which to avoid." He says, not breaking the stare even for a moment.

"I've never been interested." The person said clearly. "Are.. You one...?" He asked shyly and hoping that he didn't offend the boy.

"It's complicated." He replied.

"We have all night to talk. If you.. Want to-"

"I'd love that." Hyunjun replied immediately but calmly.

They took a seat on the bench.

"You seemed like you needed a company... I was worried that's why I went over-"

"Even though I am a stranger?" Hyunjun cut the other person off.

"It doesn't matter." He scoffed. "Now I know you're an idol, you must be going through a hard time now."

"It is how it is-" He turned his head to the other. That's when they both realized they hadn't gotten names yet. "Ah, right. I am- Hyunjoon." He extend his hand out.

(A/N Hur Hyunjun's name may be written as Heo Hyunjoon because that was how it was spelled)

"Yoojun.. Hong Yoojun." He extend his arms as well and they shake. Hyunjun felt an electric shock passed through his body for a moment and he catches Yoojun's eyes widen at that moment too. Yoojun smiled at him before asking, "you're an idol.. Is it alright for you to be out at this hour all alone?"

"It's fine." He replied, being careful not to slip the 'you're here with me' out. "I wanted to clear off my mind."

"It's hard isn't it..?" Yoojun said suddenly after a moment of silent.

"It slowly eats you alive. -When I was younger, I've always wanted to be an idol. I wanted to be the center of attention. Since I'm the youngest, my siblings are grown up and always busy with their studies and work. Parents rarely home." Hwall doesn't know why he's sharing personal stuff to a guy he just met. But he sense that Yoojun isn't dangerous.

Hwall left his home to do a be a full time trainee after finishing secondary school. Which is against his parents. Although his family and him aren't fighting, they are not on good terms due to Hyunjun's decision. He came from an important family- which no one knows, not even the public knows that his father is a ceo, his mom is an assembly woman, his sister a lawyer and his brother is a military officer. You can see where it came from, suddenly the youngest choosing the idol path instead.

"Although, I don't regret it, I wish there was more. I thought... There was more." Said Hyunjun. He didn't like studying, he liked singing and dancing, but where it brought him now, he's not happy either.

He continued on with his story, until he learned a few about Yoojun too. The boy lost his parents back when he was 9. And he lived with his aunt before renting a studio apartment for college. Even so, Yoojun is okay with his life.

They chatted until it was 5am, with Hyunjun accidentally dozed off with his head on Yoojun's shoulder.

They both have something in common. Fighting to live. But not living. Wanting comfort from someone.
