9 - Smile Flower

(Note : Flashbacks have ended. Quick recap of present : Jeonghan had suffered a panic attack at night as he tried to recall his past and was admitted to the hospital. Joshua and Mingyu had visited the Rose Quartz team as they were suspecious of their relationship with Jeonghan.)

• Serenity Hotel •

As the story of Jeonghan with his best friends ended, everything fell silent except for small sniffles from each and every person in the room including Joshua and Mingyu. No one realised but it was already 5 in the morning. The faint chirpings of birds were audible and the shalow golden sunlight was litting up selected areas of the hall through the windows.

Wonwoo cleaned his glasses along with wiping the moisture in his eyes. Woozi and Seungcheol had faint trail of tears on their cheeks which had dried already. Jun and Minghao just stared at the floor blankly. Seokmin had to go to wash his face and Vernon followed him to console him after which they returned to the hall.

Joshua and Mingyu were too stunned to react. They had seen Jeonghan's condition very closely. All the times when he wouldn't stop crying, when he would suddenly faint, when he would crave to know about his past and end up with a panic attack and of course the times when he would turn his room upside down because he would be too frustrated at himself.

Now they understood why? His heart never allowed him to forget those great feelings. His past was too good to burn into ashes. His family was still waiting for him even though they had no hopes left within themselves.

They now had all the clues about his past and wanted to reveal everything to him. But it wasn't that easy. Spilling everything to him at once would do nothing but risk his life. And that was the last thing they wanted to do.

It was pretty obvious that letting Jeonghan know about his own past was going to be a very difficult and gradual task. But his well-wishers were ready for it. After all seeing him alive was itself a very good news for Rose Quartz.

Seungcheol excused himself and left the gathering. In a few moments, he returned with a black, medium sized bag. He carefully placed it on the table in front of Joshua and Mingyu as they looked at him.

He took a deep breath, "These are a few things we all treasure since the day he left. You both are going to be the first people to see this except for the seven of us."

He unzipped the chain and pulled out an album. He handed it to the two with a fond smile, "We made it all by ourselves."

Joshua and Mingyu gulped the lump in their throat because of the overwhelming emotions and tried to stay calm. But it was all gone when they flipped open the album and tears began to flow through their eyes recklessly.

How could someone cherish their bond to this level?

Sometimes, without knowing why, suddenly
I keep thinking about that these days
You're so happy and beautiful
And now we're so envious
Unfortunately, one day we will be like that.
