"Byun Baekhyun, nice meeting you again"

"Jonghyun? How do you find me here?" Baekhyun eyes widened as he was greeted by Jonghyun on his doorstep. But he's different, he's in a wheelchair.

"It's easy, you don't have to know how Baek. I have a favor to ask of you that's why I'm here" Jonghyun spare him a small smile and Baekhyun invited him in.

Baekhyun went behind him and pushed Jonghyun into his living space. "What happened to you Jonghyun? Why are you on wheelchair now?" Baekhyun worriedly asked.

He stopped Jonghyun beside his couch and hastily went to his kitchen to make drinks for him. "Wait I'll make you drink first, you must be tired. How do you get up here? Who helped you?"

"Baek, one question at a time. Don't worry, you have all my time today for yourself" Jonghyun chuckles, thinking to himself on how Baekhyun is still the same since they met back then.

"I'm sorry, I'm so happy to see you now. I've been trying to contact you but I always meet with dead ends. It's hard to find you too. You no longer live in Busan too" Baekhyun frantically utter, quickly returning to the living room.

"Yeah, I move to Incheon already but I'll be staying here in Seoul for few days to settle out some stuffs" Jonghyun utter as he took the cup in his hands.

"Ah, please give me your number then Jonghyun. That way I can easily contact you or even visit your place at Incheon?!" Baekhyun rave, peering closer to Jonghyun.

Jonghyun nodded as he placed the cup back on the table. "Sure Baek, whatever you want. I'll tell you my contact number and address later. Just give me a call if you want to come to Incheon"

"Anyway, what favor do you asked me for?"

"Lee Hyo Jin live next door, right?" Jonghyun questioned robbed his speech.

Baekhyun stares at Jonghyun for a moment before Jonghyun bring him back to reality. "She is, right?"

Baekhyun nodded. "Yeah, she lives next door but now she's staying at her best life mate-like she said, Gunwoo's place..."

"That's her adopted brother. Hyo Jin's parents is Gunwoo's guardian. They acted like best friend so no one pay too much attention on their relationship. Furthermore, they didn't consider each other to be siblings because of something they didn't want to admit to themselves" Jonghyun blurts, taking a sip of his drink again.

Baekhyun is becoming more baffled as never once come to him Jonghyun knew Hyo Jin, he know for the fact Jonghyun used to live in Busan just like Hyo Jin but there's slim chance they knew each other. What more shocking to him is that...Gunwoo is supposed to be Hyo Jin brother? They only mentioned about being best friends since their childhood.

"But really Jonghyun, how do you know Hyo Jin? It seems like you're really close to her, you know so much about her."

"Yea, Hyo Jin is one of my close friend back at Busan."

Baekhyun nodded but his answer was not satisfying to him. Somehow, there's part of him within demand more to it. Like the Hyo Jin he knew was merely facade.

"Are you by chance still with who is that? That gang you mentioned to me?" Baekhyun asked out of curiosity.

With that Jonghyun smile to him. "And how do you think I get this legs broken and paralyzed?"

Baekhyun clears his throat. "So you already left? Who is it again? The leader...Soo Hyuk? How does he look like really...I'm curious" Baekhyun whine and leaned back against the couch.
