Eunsang stared at his mother's portrait. His mind is blank, his eyes are red-shot, all of his body parts are aching but all of that is no match on the pain he is feeling in his heart. He doesn't remember as to when was the last time he slept, after his mother died he has to take care of a lot of things alone, since he has no relatives, even in this wake where he is right now, there is no one, no guests at all, he is all alone.
Or so he thought.
"Eunsang!''
He diverted his sight to the person who called out to him and he was shocked that he is not alone. Junho and Minhee was with their mother while Dongpyo was accompanied by his parents. Upon seeing his first guests, Eunsang tried to stand up to greet them but he stumbled. The kids run into him to help him.
"You don't have to force yourself.'' Junho worriedly said.
Eunsang nodded but Junho feels that he doesn't heard him at all. He furrowed his eyebrows, he doesn't like Eunsang's state right now; clearly, the lad is very exhausted like he hasn't slept or ate for a long time.
Junho doesn't know what comes into him, but the next thing he knew he was already hugging the redhead, stroking his back in attempt to console him. With the sudden contact, he feels Eunsang started to shake, little sobs turn into wailing, he felt his arms are now at his back, hugging him seeking comfort, which he will gladly give if that will somehow ease his friend's pain.
''Umma... umma...'' His friend called out in between sobs.
His brother who is at his side hugs both of them, Dongpyo followed suit. They are now having a group hug, all of them crying.
Yohan and Byungchan started to tear up, they feel so bad for their children's friend, he is so young, he doesn't deserve to be hurt like this; they choose to stay at the distance silently watching them, giving all the moments the kids needed.

"Eunsang, use this school break to have all the time you needed to cope with your mother's loss. It will be hard but I know you will be able to stand up. Because your mother wants to see you happy. Do you understand?''
He nodded. It was already the last day of school and he was called to the faculty by his homeroom teacher to have this conversation.
''Eunsang-ah, fighting!'' His homeroom teacher cheered which he gratefully accepts and gives back a small smile.
