After they are left all alone in that wide apartment and after Sunghoon's long stare, he breaks the silence with a long sigh, his eyes losing focus.
Sunghoon rest his head on his palm, "H-how have you been?" He ask, his voice sound sad yet slurry.
"G-good and you?"
"Me? I am just living." Sunghoon chuckles, "Just breathing."
Jake looks away.
"Are you really doing well?" Sunghoon leans back, staring at Jake.
Jake looks back, "U-umm."
"R-really?" Sunghoon's voice cracks as his eyes fills with tears making Jake look away.
Sunghoon sighs long as he leans back on table, "Why am I so annoyed to hear that you are doing well?...why?"
Sunghoon then chuckles after a while, wiping his tears and buries his face in his hand to stop the tears from appearing again.
And looking at Sunghoon, Jake's eyes fills with tears as well, "I know you don't mean it." Jake says, his sound in the verge of cracking.
"No, I mean everything." Sunghoon's shakes his head looking back at him as his tear rolls down again, "Because you see, as you can see right now, day by day, literally day by day, I am dying a little more inside. I am getting destroyed day by day." Sunghoon puts his hand on his chest, looking at Jake who sobs harder looking at Sunghoon.
Jake covers his face as he cries loud. And looking at crying Jake, Sunghoon reaches out his hand and holds Jake's wrist.
"I am a horrible man." Jake says, sobbing as he reaches out and wipes Sunghoon's tear, "Don't cry for me, please?"
"If you were going to leave me then why did you make me live life? Why did you make my heart beat?" Sunghoon removes Jake's hand away from his face, "When I said I would go with you, why didn't you let me? And why didn't you ever call me? Not even once?" Sunghoon sobs.
"Damn it..." Sunghoon sighs wiping his tear dry as Jake's tear keeps rolling down.
"Why did you accept the rings? Why did you say you would never remove it when your finger is empty now?" Sunghoon looks at Jake's empty finger, "Look, I haven't took it off even once." He shows it like a kid making Jake smile slightly.

"And you... are you going to disappear again? Will you be here tomorrow with me?" Sunghoon ask as he holds Jake's hand tight.
Sunghoon pats the empty space beside him as he looks at Jake, "Come here. Sit over here with me." Sunghoon says, his tears still falling.
Jake stands up and sits beside Sunghoon, "Woahh, it's Shim Jake." Sunghoon leans closer, "Jake's arm." He wraps his arm around Jake's, "Jake's Shoulder." He says as he leans his head on Jake's shoulders, nuzzling deeper on Jake's neck, "Woahh, Shim Jake's smell."
"Don't go. Don't leave me again." Sunghoon says as he nuzzles more, "Hold me." He says as Jake holds him.
"Arms. Your arms." Sunghoon pats his arms as he removes himself from Jake, "Lean on me. Lean on me like you used to."
Jake leans on him. And Sunghoon sighs in relief when he feels missing puzzle back to its place.
