Lee Yoohan, a third year college in the University of South Korea. BS- psychology, it was a tough degree for him at first but as he enter second year,he understood anything about psych.  He began to understand what was the purpose of everyone's life,or his life, he chose this degree for some reason.

He was drowned deep in his thoughts when a little kid bumped to him, he held the little boy's bruised hand and knee from falling.

"Are you okay kid?" He looked at the boy that is close to crying. The little kid's eye color remind him of someone's eyes,it's greyish blue. This kid must be a foreigner. Yoohan thought, he heard a woman and man's voice getting closer, they must be his parents. He was still holding the kid's hand as he looked up when the man tap his shoulder and it made him let go of his deep thoughts. When he looked at the guy's face,he remembers it,it's a face we won't forget. Yoohan froze as the memories in his highschool played in his mind again. Still fresh,like the pain in his heart. Right,he chose the degree he's studying now is because he wants to know what was his 'Hyung' is thinking that day,or if he saw a guilt and sadness for leaving him.

"Yoohan?" Ah, he missed that cool soothing voice. His heart felt heavy. He can't hear anything in this busy crowds,his ears are ringing. He wanted to cry,but he can't because he shouldn't. He got up then looked at the kid again,that's why this kid's face is familiar..

"How are you, Jay?" He asked the man,Jay's carrying the kid while the woman beside him is treating the kid's bruise on his knee.

"Well,I'm doing good. I had a family, I'm a director in Dream Company. If you know about it" Jay smiled

"Honey,we will go first okay? Yoo-in's wound should be treated immediately" the woman took the kid from Jay, Jay said 'okay' as he kissed the woman. Jay looked at Yoohan again

"How about you?" Jay asked him as they walk together, they're heading to a restaurant "ah.. let's go in here,we should at least talk,don't we? It's been many years since we saw each other" they went inside the restaurant. Yoohan stayed quiet because he don't know what to say.

"How are you?" Jay asked him again,this time Yoohan answered.

"Just fine.. I guess? I will be graduating college soon,BS- psychology." He replied,he slowly eat his foods because he's afraid he might choke

"Good for you. How's your brother and mom?"

"Mom died 3 years ago, after I graduated highschool. As for my brother,he got into accident, so I'm all alone now" he let out a bitter laugh.

"I'm sorry to hear that. So,where are you staying now?"

"Well... An apartment just near to my school. Just down this road,X site"

They ate in silence after that,it's so suffocating for Yoohan. He don't know what to say or ask Jay. He have so many things to ask Jay but he can't open his tightly pressed lips. It's so hard for him to speak

"You didn't change. Still a quiet guy" Jay chuckled, Yoohan stopped eating and looked at Jay. His heart beat faster when he saw Jay smiling,showing his dimple. Yoohan tightened his hold in the utensil..

"H-how can you say that? You didn't even saw me grow.. You're not in my side,you l-left me" he frowned. The beautiful dimples and smile disappeared on Jay's face

"Yoohan. I'm sorry" Jay was reaching Yoohan's hands but Yoohan moved his hand,avoiding Jay's touch. He gazed straight onto Jay's eyes, he was expecting to see a guilt; regret for leaving him alone,yet he saw instead a relief,like Jay was waiting to say that word to Yoohan.

"I don't have excuses. I had, before I got married" Jay smiled again then caress his ring finger that has a ring on it. "You see, I'm happy now with my life. I tried finding you to apologize for what I did,but I stopped looking for you. All I could say to you now is sorry, sorry for leaving you. I don't know what kind of life you has now,but if I didn't listen to dad and stayed here,maybe we're in this restaurant dating or something right? I will not have met my beloved wife" Jay laughed.
