chapter 1:
no rain, no flowers

donghyuck walked excitedly to the park, a gift bag on his hand and the other in the pocket of his oversized red hoodie. he couldn't help smiling at the thought of his boyfriend's reaction to the gift he bought.

he bought his boyfriend the new game console he always wished to buy, and in luck, donghyuck found it at a discounted price at a store. he wrapped the box the console came in with cheap baby pink wrapping, and stuffed it into a gift bag he bought from daiso earlier in the day.

after a minute of walking, he finally reached the park  which had the shadows of monkey bars and slides illuminated by the moon's light. he took a picture quickly then huddled his steps so he isn't late.

sitting on the bench yukhei and him always met at, he played with his fingers waiting for yukhei.

he was bored and time was ticking. where was yukhei?

just as he checked his dying phone for the time, he saw yukhei appear with his shoulders slumped. donghyuck rose a brow, nevertheless, he waved at his boyfriend.

"yukhei!"  he smiled, "why are you so late?" he asks, to only receive a cold end.

"yukhei?" he waves his hand infront of yukhei's face to make him snap to reality.

why was yukhei so quite?

both of them stare at the children who were playing on the monkey bars in silence, that was until their parents come in to take them back home.

yukhei suddenly snaps his neck to look at donghyuck in the eye, his lips tremble

"l-look hyuckie," he starts but cuts his gaze of the younger's eyes to look at a passing cycling person. he then rubs the nape of his neck,

"i don't think we should see each other anymore," his eyes met donghyuck's, trying to predict the younger's reaction.

"after a year?" donghyuck asks bitterly, but he could feel his stomach churning. he felt like throwing up, he felt nauseous. too nauseous.

"is this a joke, yukhei?" he asks desperately. please tell me this is a joke, someone tell him this is a joke and spare him any extra pain. yukhei tried talking,
"see-"

"i must be dreaming,huh?" donghyuck asks, placing his hand at his forehead that hurt.

"hyuckie, it's not your fault" he tried to reassure donghyuck. yukhei tried to place his hand on the younger's thighs to comfort him, but he pulled away.

"it's me, i just think.." yukhei couldn't find the right words to explain how he felt, he held onto the bench until his knuckles turned white.

"i just think that i need to find myself, y'know?"

right then, donghyuck lost it. he felt the impact of his ex-lover's words, and they landed in his guts like a knife. he was trying to understand why, why does yukhei want to find himself?  did he do something wrong? did he hurt yukhei? if so, shouldn't yukhei tell him? lovers don't keep secrets from each other.

it didn't make sense to him, and it hurt even more because he didn't know, that he was given such a vague excuse for a breakup.
