CEO | JAEYONG

13

JAEHYUN worked hard, as he decided to build his own company elsewhere, making profit again. However, he was still working along with Johnny under the covers, but nobody had to know that. As for Taeyong, he decided to work part time as a barista, working at the local cafe. It was a first for him, working all by himself and gaining his own profit. Though he fit right in as he met some comforting co-workers.

Jisung finally earned a full funded education, and for once, Taeyong didn't worry about him at school. He was now in a new grade, as he grew older in the span of such time. He met all the teachers, and had a glance at the classrooms he'd be in. The only thing Taeyong was worried about was Jisung finding friends, which Jisung truly thought he didn't need. Taeyong decided to brush it off and tell Jisung to at least be nice to everyone. Jisung complies, but not without a snare.

They now live on the outer parts of the city, spending their time together more and more. At nights, Taeyong picked up a new hobby as the new year started not long ago. He decided to start a journal, writing about his day everyday. He loved to write, and rethink events that happened throughout the day. He kept this journal secret though, as he rather want it for his own memories whenever he's long gone. He sometimes wonders if anyone would find it as time moved on without him, and read about his life. Such a though fascinated him, and encouraged him to write more.

Jaehyun didn't find a hobby, as he was busy with work and took on lead roles in his business. It was not easy, building his own building and creating his business and get sales he needed, but he made it work through his own experience. He also knew he couldn't of done it without Taeyong and Jisung, his family and supporters. How grateful he was for them, everyday he thanked the heavens for waking up to see Taeyongs angelic face beside him. Not to forget the not so baby face anymore son he had that followed him out the door whining. It was truly a life he wished for.

As for Jisung, well, he finally got the dad he wanted and needed. He had to admit he did not like Jaehyun the first few moments, but as he moved on, he learned to be open as his father was. Now he looks up to Jaehyun as a role model, learning ways from him his ex-father couldn't. Though he would never forget such past memories, he promised himself to move toward and get on with life. As he learned the hard way, life won't wait for anyone and neither does time. He wasted his first years of life in pain and darkness, but now he finally sees what a joy life could be with the right people. He knows now he doesn't have to worry about the future or his life, all he has to focus on are his family and happiness.

Truly, he believed, that is all that mattered.

The days outside they'd spend together, walking around, eating whatever street carts sold, going to the park, and taking pictures every 5 seconds. Hand in hand, laughter matching, sunny days, and smiles beamed on their faces- this was truly life. Life did not have to be behind closed doors, filled with pain and regret, sadness and loneliness- no. Life was life, when the sun shined on the cloudy days, when the birds chirped in the skies, when the grass flowed with the wind as they ran through such territory, and when it was filled with laughter and enjoyment. This, they believed, was the life everyone could live if they tried.

No, not everything would be perfect. There will be days when it will be cloudy, rainy, and dark; however, behind all those doors, is a sun waiting to shine. All it has to do, is shine even brighter so that the most darkest room is lit up into life. You must be grateful for what you have, and not what you don't. For material items could never compare to such joy people around you can give. What life outside can let you see- and what happiness a smile can make you feel.

Sometimes, you must open that door, and let the light enter. Watch as how the light dances across the once dark walls, and see such darkness fall away. It is amazing what happiness can do to people when given, and what a feeling it would give if you gave one happiness. It could just be a simple 'hi.' Or it could be a smile- absolutely anything could make a persons mood change by the second. The speed of light.

Oh what a wonderful feeling it is, was, and will be. I can only imagine such joy again.
