Huening Kai couldn't bear to stare at Seokjin's mad eyes. The eyes are not even reaching their limit yet. It's just a start.

"He just said he'll get nagged by his mother because his grade fell and I just asked him to skip school and he agrees even though he said to me he can't skip school"

Seokjin clenched his fist and slammed the table, shocking Huening Kai. "of course... of course, you did that..." He took another hard breath and calmed himself before continuing. "well it's already happened. Well, you are a kids. Let's do this. Just apologize or do whatever like a normal human and if you fail just do it over again"

"Should I?" Huening Kai asked. He was scared to see Seokjin pass him like that, unlike the usual action he did when he did wrong.

"I'll let you pass this time. Do you know what happened when I punched you a few times before? Would you like to see the nightmare from your past in your sleep again?"

"I'llㅡ I'll try to do something" He begged his life; he didn't want to go through any nightmare where he saw his dead family being burnt alive and he had already seen it so many times before due to his recklessness.

Yeonjun slowly walked on the snowy path. The weather is still cold and he just wears one long coat for himself. He doesn't feel the need to wear anything thick even if he really needed. He will suffer internal pain in either case.

He chooses to gaze up at the night sky from the park bench after strolling for a short while.

Tears that he had been holding since the evening began to dry up in Yeonjun's eyes as he gazed up at the night sky.

"It's pretty... and cold" He mumbled. He rubbed his palms together to get warm.

He turned around to see if anyone were around him but the park was empty. Since the majority of them had work and school the following day, they are most likely hiding inside the house due to the weather. So it's better to be heated up inside rather than outside.

"Taehyun-ah it's not easy for me too"

As he is about to continue mumbling his phone ringing wants to be picked up. Swiftly pulling out his pocket, Yeonjun looked at the name. A full capital letter of the word SOOBIN was written. "You always greeted me at the wrong time," He said before answering.

"hmm?" Yeonjun humming.

"Are you at the park?" Soobin enquired over the phone.

"I- I am. How do you know?" Yeonjun was surprised. He spun around in a moment to check if Soobin was there.

His gaze paused on the tall man figure observing him from a distance. "so it's really you. I thought I was hallucinating" Soobin said before he hung up and walked to Yeonjun.

Yeonjun said, "You are always there wherever I am," as he put his phone back in his pocket.

"What brings you here?" Soobin asked as soon he arrived at Yeonjun.

"I suppose to ask you why are you here"

"Well, I'm always here every night." Soobin said, "I just so happened to meet you today."

"ah..." Yeonjun said. His mind is still staring blankly at the pile of snow in front of him.

"is something troubling you?" Soobin noticed Yeonjun's unusual behaviour tonight. He does not respond to him as he usually does.

Yeonjun dodged the question, "just something."

"Did you cry?"

"Did I look like I cried?" Yeonjun touched his eyes to check if there was a swollen form but... he did not cry?
