[DaBin] This Is How We Met || SF9

Chapter 15 [Final]

A few months later.....

Youngbin sat on a big rock close to the sea. He had always spend his time here thinking and appreciating the ocean for a few months now after moving to this town. It's only a small town in Busan. He moves that far from the others after graduating not because he's heartbroken, but he thinks that he really need to move on from the other guy and start to work on his own futures. So now he is building his career as a successful programmer for one of the famously known software house and being a freelance photographer during his free time.

Everybody would've thought that he's already a new person.

But actually there hasn't been a day goes by without him thinking of the other guy. It's only a short encounter but he didn't knew himself why did he so caught up with it even almost two years have gone. It's not that no one tried to flirt with him or he flirt with others. But it never worked out as he always comparing them with Dawon.

He's not shy like Dawon.

His lips is not plump like Dawon's.

His eyes is not breathtakingly beautiful like Dawon's.

Dawon is far way cuter than him.

And apparently, HE IS NOT DAWON.

Youngbin bit his lips at the bitter memory. He flipped opened his phone's lock screen and smiles. He never intended to change it. Not even once. They maybe stay away far from each other but he will always hold on the memories as long as he can.

Youngbin opened the keys to his cosy apartment. He can proudly calls the house as his pride, all his hard work throughout the months shows in the house he owns now. His house is far from the level of expensive condominium that standing tall in the capital city. But this house, just enough for him alone to call a comfortable home. Living alone does not making him lonely. His brother Chani always come to visit from time to time bringing all the side dishes from their mom. The only person that knew his where being is only his trusted cousin, Rowoon. He did not meant to cut all the ties from the group, but because Dawon is in the same group of friends made it harder for Youngbin to mingle in.

[Back in Seoul]

Dawon just got back from a group discussion. Since the last operation, he has felt better and going through his life just fine. He went to university in the day and hangout with his friends in the night. On the weekend he and the whole group would spent time together even just sitting on his house's living room or Rowoon's.

But this few months have felt weirdly empty for him. He always feel something is missing ever since the operation he got, but every time he started to remember, his head will throbbing painfully making he stop doing that for a year. But this weird empty feeling did not comes from that.

He's started feeling like that ever since the second oldest in his group depart. For the whole year after they met, Dawon never felt any special feelings toward the oldest. But ever since he left, Dawon felt empty. He was so used of having the older guy taking care of him throughout the year hence not having him now making Dawon felt empty. He didn't even realise something is wrong with that, not until one day he searched for something in his brother's room apparently stumbled across his old phone that's missing after the operation. He always ask his hyung about the phone's whereabouts as it's suddenly gone missing. But Jaeyoon will always shrugged and tried to change the topic. He's glad that the phone still working. He went through his old messages and saw something that caught his eyes.

The messages with someone with a contact name Youngban <3

[Busan]

Youngbin just got off from work. He slowly going up the stairs to his apartment. He didn't take the lift as his apartment only on the second floor. There's a beep on his phone signalling someone has call him.

- Youngbin-ssi, what are you doing right now?

- Ahh, Mr. Yang, I'm just going up the stairs to my house.

- Are you spending a lonely night again, Youngbin-ah?

Youngbin just chuckled at the question, Mr. Yang is his colleague and friend from another company, they have bonded really well due to work and hobbies.

- Hahahahha Yoseob hyung, what do you want me to do?

- Let's drink later, Binnie.

Youngbin just about to answer the question when he saw something or rather someone standing in front of his door. Out of all people he never expected to see, but here he is, standing still in front of him, locking eyes with his.

- Hyung, sorry.. can we do it next time? I have umm....... company.... now..

He put his phone back in his pocket and turns all his attention towards the person in front of him.

"Dawon-ah.. long time no see.."

"Annyeong Youngban-ah."
