When HoSeok walks into the flat that he shares with his closest family, he notices how quiet it is. Too quiet, for the family od Jung's standards. Surprised, he takes od his jacket and looks around the house. In the small living room, which is also his parents bedroom, the light is turned on so he goes there.

He hasn't expected to see his father looking with an empty eyes at the wall, his mother hiding her face in her hands trying to silent her cries and DaWon with tears freely running down her face. Confused he comes to his mum and hugs her tightly sending a questioning look at his father. What happened? What brought his family to this state?

"HoSeok" His father's raspy voice is heard in the room, a sign that the man had cried. "I'm glad you're home." He sends a forced smile to his son. 

"Yeah, I'm glad too." Responds softly the youngest member of the family. "What happened? Why are you crying?" A great uneasiness can be sensed in his voice. 

"Hobi-ah... You have to know about something. It's hard but you have to know." The father's voice cracks. "Your grandma... Your... She's not with us anymore." Mr. Jung cries not able to hold it any longer. 

HoSeok is lost, he doesn't know what to think. His beloved granny, the only one he knows... Just like that? Just like that, without any warning her time had came? No, the boy can't just accept this. Without muttering anything, he walks out of the living room to put on his shoues and jacket, wanting to go out. 

"HoSeok, wait." His sister tries to stop him, but he only smiles a little.

"I need to calm down, to think everything off, noona. I'll be okay." He says, while walking out. 

When he finds himself outside, he breaths deeply with the cold, night's air, looking around. While being with his family, he did everything to not show his weakness, to be stron for his parents and sister. That's why only when he's sure that no one can see him, he let's few hot droplets fall down his face when he takes his phone out of the pocket, calling a friend who soon after picks up.

"YoonGi? Can I drop in on yours?" He asks with broken voice.
