brothers

I live through pictures as if I was right there by your side but you'll be good without me and if I could just give it some time, I'll be alright.

The tall male went through his album miserably to delete pictures of what he used to think to be the one but it turned out that she was cheating on him. With the president of their company who was more mature, richer and older than him.

Sneering disgust at the thought when he had caught them getting it on in their her apartment after a tiring day of being chewed off by the head of his department for not meeting the quota and messing up the reports when it was clearly done by the rookie. If it wasn't for the high salary, he would have threw a fit and quit. But he was stuck with reality. Quitting just meant being unemployed for months – maybe even years.

He scoffs at the cheesy edit she had made the previous day about them getting married to each other five years down the road during spring because it represented their youth which was now wasted on each other. Looking over to the huge bouquet of roses that was chucked onto the ground on his way in made his blood boil. After months of subtle hints and upfront pestering to get married, he finally decided that he wanted to intertwine their lives together for the rest of their living days.

Though he didn't know whether to praise or curse God since the heartbreak he was currently sporting wasn't worth it, in his eyes. It was as if his heart was ripped out, stabbed a couple of times before being thrown against the wall then put back to receive the aftermath. Realizing that there wasn't a need for the red flowers, he gets up to toss it into the trashcan and proceeds to retreat under the warm duvet.

Ensuring that every single photo of the ex-couple was selected, he clicks trash then tosses the technology aside, feeling extremely smug of himself for somewhat deleting some part her out of his life. Suddenly remembering the stupid function that Apple products had that kept the deleted photos for thirty days before officially trashing it. It was a lifesaver for him when it first came out till now since he had a knick for deleting important information but right now, he hated it.

With an annoyed face, he retrieves the phone in the mess of duvets and pillows. Entering '0405', he cringes tremendously since it was their anniversary date. He almost threw his phone against the wall seeing his home screen of them staring lovingly into each other's eyes. He mentally makes a note to change both the passcode and home screen as he clicks on the app where photos were stored.

Arriving at the deleted folder, his eyes widen at the shocking amount of pictures they had taken together in a span of two years. He continued to scroll past the pictures to make sure that he wouldn't accidentally trash any important pictures while silently cursing at the person who invented the function where pictures couldn't be selected to be trashed.

Restoring a couple of family pictures and important information sent from his bosses about next week's presentation that has not been prepared, a smile appeared on his face as he thanked God for making him go through the folder. His smile falters as he found himself staring at rows of nostalgia that had tiny, red hangul at the bottom of it, indicating that it was disappearing in a couple of days.

Clicking on the first picture, it was a photo of two guys, the shorter had his finger on the taller's forehead, ready to flick. Swiping right, it was a selfie of the same two guys smiling widely, topless since they were in the swimming pool. He continues to swipe right, memories that had been locked away resurfaced as he found himself smiling as he reminisces the stupid moments that happened.

Landing at the last photo, which was a breathtaking view of Seoul and the sunrise with similar height boys backs against the camera but the smiles flashed to one another couldn't deny the close relationship and he happiness that radiated from being around each other.
