NEXT DAY....

In afternoon, Donghyuck was kneeling by a gravestone, a bouquet of lilies cradled in his arms. The air is thick with the scent of damp earth and cloying grief. Mark standing beside him, a hand on donghyuck shoulder, a silent anchor in the storm of emotions.

(Donghyuck) hey... Haechan. It's me again. Mark helped me this time picked out this flowers for you.

A beat of silence hangs heavy in the air. Donghyuck closes his eyes, and a tear roll down his cheeks. Mark squeezes his shoulder gently.

(Donghyuck) I...I miss you so much,haechan. It doesn't feel real that you are gone. We were supposed to grow old together, remember? Annoy each other like always.

He let's out a shaky breath, a choked sob escaping his lips. Mark pulls him into a hug, His arms warm and comforting. Donghyuck buries his face in mark's shoulder, clinging to him as if to a lifeline.

(Mark murmurs) It's okay to cry, Donghyuck. Let it out.

Donghyuck let's out a torrent of tears, the dam finally breaking. He cries for his lost brother, for the life they could have had, for the gaping hole haechan's absence leaves in their world. Mark holds him silently, a pillar of strength in the face of Donghyuck's grief.

After a while, Donghyuck's sobs subside into sniffles. He wipes his eyes on his sleeve, leaning back slightly from mark's embrace.

(Donghyuck) Thanks, mark. I don't know what to do without you.

(Mark) You don't have to go through this alone Donghyuck. You know that, right?

Donghyuck nods, a small, gracing his lips. He looks back at the gravestone, the inscription stark against the white marble.

(Donghyuck) I'm gonna try to be more strong for you Haechan. Like you always said, but promise me you'll visit me in my dreams, so i couldn't miss you that much. Okay? Tell me all about the crazy things you're up to wherever you are.

A gentle breeze rustle through the leaves of the nearby trees, and for a moment, Donghyuck feels a strange sense of peace. Maybe it's just his imagination, or maybe its haechan, letting him know he heard.

(Donghyuck) See you later, haechan. I love you.

With a final lingering look at the grave, Donghyuck gets to his feet, mark by his side. They walk away together.

Both Donghyuck and mark were sitting in the car when mark sighed and asked Donghyuck something.

(Mark) Do you miss him.

(Donghyuck) No, why?

(Mark) yaa...

Donghyuck look at him.

(Mark) ya.. I'm your bestfriend. How could you lie infront of my face, don't lie to me hyuck. I know about him, and i also know that you miss him.

(Donghyuck) yeah... I miss him. Oh..

(Mark) what happen?

(Donghyuck) yaa... let's go otherwise they will scold us. Then what we will do together. Let's go fastly.

Mark starts laughing after hearing Donghyuck's words.

(Donghyuck) Why are you laughing, when we are in trouble.

Donghyuck looks him in disbelief.

(Mark) No, hyuck we are not in trouble. I will handle them.
