「joshua」

All I wanted was the chance to be good again.

「mingyu」

With dread, I wake up anticipating the wake.

He's back.

And with this, my worst fear is that I will say hello to him, and goodbye to my best friend.

Xu Minghao, you should have stayed away.

「jun」

The wake is today.

There's a looming sense of paranoia going to mourn someone you killed.

killed.

I have to keep my head.

But it's so hard to do so when you're about to be reunited with your art, your spattered masterpiece of taken innocence.

I'm also conscious of the fact that I will be seeing Mingyu today.

A few weeks ago, you would've never known we once fought over my relationship with Minghao.

But at the return of my lover, Mingyu was appalled at both me and him, from what I could tell.

Mingyu has no clue still that it was Joshua whom had him attacked. He doesn't need to know.

He can't- he's not stupid. Surely he would make the connection.

But what would he do about it?

Stop— I can't dwell on those questions.

I have to meet Minghao.

Then after reunite with two old friends.

「seungcheol」

I pick up Jihoon in a detectives car to take us to the wake.

For Jun's sake— please do not show up Minghao.

「minghao」

It's 5:00pm— the hour for friends and visitors.

But I was no friend to you, as you weren't to I.

My arm crosses with Junhui's as we open the doors— it's seems familiar faces are already here.

It's been a while since I've faced these people head on.

But I can do it.

I'm untouchable.

We're untouchable.

It's almost silent as faces turn to watch us approach the casket of my foe.

Hello and goodbye, Joshua.
