"Joong, are you ready?", asked Seonghwa as he put on his mask and cap. Hongjoong stood up after putting on his shoes and nodded. He grabbed his bag and put on a mask and glasses.

"Yeah, lets go.", he said and walked out the door. Seonghwa checked everything and closed the door of their room.

"Guys! Hongjoong and I will be leaving now. Yunho, you're in charge ok?", said Seonghwa as he looked at them. Yunho put a thumbs up.

"Have fun with your date!", said Mingi, not even giving them a glance because he was playing games. Seonghwa and Hongjoong giggled.

"Yeah yeah, whatever.", said Hongjoong, shaking his head. They both walked out of the dorm and went to the parking lot. They both got into Seonghwa's car going to the cemetery.

- after a while -

"Wanna go on a date while were outside?", asked Seonghwa while driving. Hongjoong's eyes widened and look at Seonghwa.

"H-huh? But we just planned to go to my grandma.", said Hongjoong, a slight blush across his cheeks. Seonghwa smiled and glanced at Hongjoong.

"We can eat out for dinner and walk around the park for awhile.", he replied. Hongjoong looked down and smiled. 'A date? Just the two of us? I guess my heart can handle that.'

"Sure, but what about the people who notice us?", asked Hongjoong. Seonghwa reached Hongjoong's hands and interwined fingers.

"They won't think about it too much. They'll just think we're friends hanging out.", said Seonghwa with a reassuring smile. Hongjoong nodded and they continued to go to their destination.

- xxxxx cemetery -

"Hey grandma...", said Hongjoong in a soft tone as he stood in front of her grave. Yes, Hongjoong's family did not want the bodies of their loved ones to turn into ashes, so it was in a casket, buried in the ground.

Hongjoong sniffed and soon all his tears flood out, he squatted down and covered his face. He was really devastated that he was busy the whole time while they were having the funeral. He didn't get to look at her face for the last time, that was the thing he hated the most.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.", he tried to spill out the words between sobs. Seonghwa just stood there feeling sorry for the other. Tears were also flowing out of his eyes, it was hard for him to see Hongjoong in a fragile state.

"I never got to see you these past few days and now I won't see you forever. Why didn't you wait for me to come home?", he cried out. No one knows the pain he really felt, he just wanted to hug her one last time. He just wanted to see her one last time. He just wanted to hear her one last time.

"It hurts so much and I hate myself. I didn't even get to call you before the busy week started. I regret everything, please just come back. Let me sacrifice everything just to see you again.", Hongjoong was having a hard time to breathe. Seonghwa crouched down and back-hugged Hongjoong. He caressed and pat his back, soothing the other.

"Joong, don't say that. Don't hate yourself, please. Just remember all the good times you spent with her. Don't say those things.", said Seonghwa in the most calming tone. Hongjoong was trying to catch his breathe, breathing in and out.

"She's in a happy place now, she found peace. You have to be happy for yourself and for her.", said Seonghwa. They both stood up and Seonghwa turned Hongjoong around to face him.

"I just want to see her and hug her one last time. I can't live without her. She means everything to me.", said Hongjoong, having small hiccups in between. Seonghwa pulled him close, wrapping his arms around the younger's shoulder. Hongjoong wrapped his arms around Seonghwa's waist.
