"Daddy, can we visit Dada again?"
"Sure, sweetie."
"Yey. I miss Dada so much."
"I miss him too, sweetie."
"Daddy, don't cry. Dada's gonna be sad if he knew you were crying again."
"I know, sweetie. Daddy's not gonna cry anymore."
"Let's go, Daddy! Dada might be waiting for us."
"Yes. Wait up, sweetie."
—
"We're here! We're here!"
"Yes, sweetie. We're here. Hey! Be careful, okay? Don't run that fast! You might trip!"
"I won't daddy! Dada's gonna catch me if I do."
"I know, he would.."
He slowly sat down beside his daughter and combed her hair using his fingers while her daughter continues telling stories to her Dada. He simply touched the grave stone and wiped away the dusts.
Boo Seungkwan
January 16, 1998- August **, 20**'A good friend and uncle who fought with a lot of hope and love in his heart. May you rest in peace.'
Jisoo and Jeonghan's daughter, Hong Ji Han, had been greatly attached to his uncle whom he calls Dada Kwan. When Seungkwan was still alive, he would always play with Ji Han whenever he has the energy to do so and even though he can't he would always try.
"Daddy." Ji Han softly muttered.
"Yes, sweetie? Where's Daddy Han? He said he'll be here." His daughter grumpily said.
"He said he's here already. Just visiting grandma and granddad on the west wing." Jisoo said while he stared at his daughter who has been pouting for a while already.
"Hey." Both looked up to see Jeonghan with a bouquet of flowers that Seungkwan really loves and three candles in his hand.
"Finally! Daddy Haaan! You're very late! Hmpf." Jeonghan giggled at his daughter's appearance and gave her a kiss on the cheek and Jisoo on his lips.
"Hey, Hannie."
"Hey, sweetie. I just saw Vernon here a while ago."
"Oh. The kid has been really depressed after Seungkwan went to a better place.."
"He really loves him, sweetie. He just knew about it a little bit later."
"I know, Hannie. We should really check up on him from time to time. I don't want to lose another friend."
"Don't say that, sweetie. Seungkwan would always be there for him and I know that he won't let that happen. He loves him too. That's what keeps him going to survive and fight, remember?"
"I do. I really do, Hannie..."
".."
"Hannie."
"Yeah?"
"I love you."
"I love you too, Jisoo."
"I love you more."
"Well, I love you forever!"
