At the end of Autumn

Through the night

Just like letters on the sand
where waves were
I feel you’ll disappear
To a far off place
I always miss you
I miss you

Silent. Only the sound of AC roaring filled the room. There’s no lights on, the room was left in the dark. Outside, the rain still falling. Sungwoon sit on the dining chair, staring blankly into the kitchen that also in dark. In front of him, beer cans scattered on the table. His hand holding a can that still half remaining.

His head full with the thought about what has happened this afternoon. About the person he has bumped into at Incheon. Clearly remembered the stupidity he had done. Sungwoon sighed deeply and ruffled his hair.

“Why did I smile in that place? What with the how are you’ve been? What this stupid brain have done?” He said while hitting his own head, regretting his act.

“They both look happy though. I should just go and leaving him alone. Just like what he had done to me.”

Sungwoon laughed at his own fate, bitterly. He gulped the remain beer on his hand, throwing the can angrily into the bin next to the refrigerator. His throw missed, the can rolling down the table.

“Hi, Sungwoon hyung. I was right, it is really you.” Daniel said.

Sungwoon eyes get widened, seeing the taller man standing about 5 meters away from him. With his eyes smile and showing his bunny teeth. The mole still in there, under his left eyes.

He felt his breath caught –about 3 second– before he remembers how to breathe.

“O....oh... Hi, Kang Daniel.” Said Sungwoon after he could get his mind. It’s been a long time I called this name.

“It’s surprising that I can see you here. Perhaps, a business?”

“Ah…yeah. A work.” Sungwoon answered briefly. He couldn’t look directly to the other. His heart beating fast, while his brain was in a war.

Right. He is him. The one that hold half of my mind. The person that leaving me without any word. He destroy my world in one knock. Because he's that world, at that time. But stupidly, he is also the one that I missed the most. Until now.

“How… have you been? It’s been long time.” Fuck. What I just saying.

“Yeah, it is really a long time.” Daniel smile awkwardly, more like holding his laughter. Then his face becomes serious again.

“I’m good, hyung. I guess.” Daniel answered. Now his smile become soft as usual. But somehow there’s some bitterness from his word. It's just Sungwoon can't feel it.

“Ah, it’s that so.”

Again, only awkwardness surrounding them. They have been separated for a long time and met again by chance. Sungwoon turned his gaze to other direction. If only he looked towards Daniel, he would know how the younger trying so hard to hold back his smile that keep appeared on his lips.

“Are you….”

“Daniel.”

Daniel wanted to say something, but someone suddenly called his name.

“What are you doing? What took you so long?”

Someone appeared from behind a car parked beside Sungwoon’s car. That was Seongwoo who immediately grabbed Daniel's arm, before he realized that Sungwoon was there. He looks surprised to see Sungwoon in front of him.

“Sungwoon hyung?”

Sungwoon also looked surprised by Seongwoo presence. He glanced slightly toward their arms that were locked together. Then smile bitterly at them.
