Chapter 18

~Time skip: 2 weeks~

Hyunjoon woke up then frowned. It was finally the day. He heard a faint sound of creaky floorboards and figured his father was already up. He looked through his closet for the appropriate dress wear.

As he and his father exited their home, Hyunjoon saw Chanhee standing at the bottom of the steps. "I like you. Very Punctual." Hyunjoon nodded in agreement with his father as they walked to the car. "I'm still surprised he's allowing you to come along and for your mom agreeing to this despite her condition." "They're strange ones." Hyunjoon and Chanhee chuckled as they got in the car.

Hyunjoon knew the route all too well. It made him sick how he could point out the little details of certain things. After a long drive, his father parked the car a little ways from the cemetery. "Joonie, if you don't mind me asking, how did the accident happen...?" Hyunjoon felt sick just thinking of his mother's lifeless body. "Or don't. That was rude of me to ask." "I don't mind telling you. It just takes a while."

They arrived at his mother's grave after a short walk from the entrance. "We went on vacation to Busan to visit some friends of my parents. We had a lot f fun. Playing games, eating, having hearty conversations. We were crossing the street as we had the right away. I don't know what happened to the driver, but she clearly didn't have control over her car. I remember being pulled close to my mother and a strong impact. I woke up in the hospital but I didn't see my mom or dad. Fast forward, I saw my dad crying by a stretcher with my mom's lifeless body."

Hyunjoon looked at Chanhee then felt bad for making him cry. "That...that was heartbreaking...I'm sorry you had to go through something like that..." He felt Chanhee give him a tight hug which knocked the wind out of him. "Chan, not that I'm complaining, but you've become more touchy lately." Chanhee gave him a confused look which also confused him as well. "Like, you've been giving me hugs and other things more." Chanhee pulled away and looked down at the ground.

"Hey, you two, especially you Hyunjoon. Pay her some respect." Hyunjoon walked over then laid the flowers on top of her grave. "I miss you mom. Dad got involved with a bad woman, so I set him straight." He felt a sharp pain on the back of his head. "Uncalled for." Hyunjoon stuck out his tongue at his father then looked back at his mother's grave. "I hope you're resting well wherever you are. We love you mom." Mr. Heo motioned for Chanhee to come over and say a few words.

"H-Hello Mrs. Heo. I'm a friend of Hyunjoon's. I wish I had gotten to meet you when you were alive. Your son is nothing short of fun and caring. I know he'll be someone's beacon of light one day and I hope that he can hold onto the beacon of light he found." Chanhee deeply bowed then looked over at Mr. Heo and Hyunjoon. "That was sweet, Chanhee." Chanhee blushed and looked away, hoping they couldn't see it.

After standing by her grave for a long time, they all headed back to the car. "Thank you again for letting me come along." Mr. Heo nodded as he started up the car. The car ride was silent and the only sound heard was the radio. Hyunjoon felt his phone vibrate so he took it out of his pocket. "Chanhee really texted me." He sent a text back and received a reply in no time.
