Stay With Me
In this world, when you die happy, you get to choose your next life. It is your reward. However, If you did not die happily, you will have peace in the ashes
Minsoo and Daehyun have been super close-as friends you know. The two lived with Dongho and Jaewon in a beautiful apartment complex. In this life, they were not idols, they did not have to worry about paparazzi here and there.
Anyway, today was a special day. Today was the day the four met. The day spring came and the flowers bloomed in the crappy middle school garden.

"oh? are you lost?" The red haired boy looked at Daehyun "I think so..I haven't been to the new building yet." Daehyun said- surprisingly in an enthusiastic voice. "What class are you in? I can bring you there!" "No no Jaewon ah, I'll do it, you head to class now." A black haired male leaned and kissed Jaewon's cheek lightly, then Jaewon went to class "You should look for Minsoo next time. I'm Dongho Kang, the red haired is Jaewon Ahn." It looked like Dongho was trying to put emotion in his voice, it was funny to Daehyun. "Oh, I'm Kim Daehyun..er..Daehyun Kim."
"There he is..MINSOO!" Dongho waved his hand and the white haired boy ran over immediately "WHY ARENT YOU IN CLASS??? YOU BETTER HAVE A GOOD EXCUSE KANG DONGHO." Minsoo yelled, startling the both of them "Actually I do, This is Daehyun. He's new in the building." "Ah! A newbie! Hello~ I'm Lee Minsoo!" "The short one." "HEY! GET BACK TO CLASS!"

"Jaewon hyung! Dongho hyung is smiling at you!" Daehyun gasped and tugged Jaewon's uniform, pointing at Dongho. "Yah! Daehyun ah! You're ruining the surprise!" Minsoo grabbed Daehyun away from the two "No it's okay!" Jaewon said in a nervous voice. "Aigoo, just go kiss already, just keep Dae pure." "A-Ah hyung.." "HEY I'M NOT A KID!" The three burst out laughing, except Dongho- oo so mature.
- -
"Yah good job Dae..You graduated!" Minsoo smiled, holding white roses in his hands. "Have you decided on a career yet? You should be an idol! Your guitar skills will be great for it, besides your chicken voice is good too I guess." "Hyunngg I already graduted, it means i'm not a kid anymore!" "YAH! YOU'RE STILL MY CUTIE AND MINE ONLY!" then Minsoo covered his mouth "Haha! I love you too shortie~" Daehyun leaned down to give him a peck on the lips.
- -
"Jaewon and Dongho moved out, don't worry though they'll be our neighbors in our new house." Minsoo showed Daehyun a picture of a big house, with a beautiful garden for Daehyun to play guitar in. "Woah hyung! Is that your house?!" "You mean our house. You'll still be living with me, I can't trust you living alone yet." He laughed
- -
"Look Dae-yah! It's the first snow!" Minsoo ran outside like a toddler, waving his hands in the air to catch a snowflake. "Dae! Come here!" He laughed, running around the garden. "Hyung it's cold! Wait for me!" Daehyun grabbed a huge jacket (probably one that Dongho left behind) and ran to his hyung.
The two were sitting down on the bench of their mini garden. Daehyun strumming the strings of his guitar and Minsoo beside him, laying his head on Daehyun's shoulder. "Dae-yah, play that song~" Minsoo whined and Daehyun started playing, knowing Minsoo's forever favorite song...
"Over and over
Like it's Red rover
Will your games ever be through
Play me over and over
Pacman and lover
Hoping you run out of quarters soon
Don't hurt me
Leave me
No I don't mean that
Love me all the way to death."

"MINSOO!" Daehyun screamed, dropping the guitar and white chrysanthemums in his hand and then running over to hold the lifeless older in his arms. Tears rolling down his face as he could not do anything to save him, he was already gone by the time Daehyun came home
"I'm sorry, Minsoo."
•
"Daehyun?" Daehyun looks around, wait, that's him crying over Minsoo. Wait. Was he dead? He felt panic start going in his..soul "No silly, you're not dead." Minsoo laughs "I'm dead. I don't know how you can see me but it's nice talking to you before I go." "But you're not joking this time.." Daehyun looks down, covering his face so he won't cry. It was hard knowing that this is the last time he'd ever see his hyung. "I know what you're thinking about. This isn't the last time! I gave you a poster!" Minsoo laughed and lifted Daehyun's head.
"Aren't you going to say goodbye? It's what you're supposed to say."
