Maybe there is still a chance two broken hearts can be as one.

---

His eyes were trailing back to him and himself. He added a sigh as he examined his figure and the way he was dressed. To be honest, he was not ready fot his... he still couldn't accept the fact that their life turned out to be like this, broken and separated. But there was something telling him, he had to do it for the good of him and his memory.

"Hey..."

He looked up to the boy who was standing on the door rame, and looking at him. He looked upon the younger and saw that his hair was newly dyed into blue.

"Ready to go, hyung?" Hongjoong asked, reassuring that the older should be okay if they were gonna do this.

He only replied with a short nod and smile, Hongjoong quickly went to his side and holding him by his hand.

"It's okay if you don't wanna go, hyung. Just take your time." Hongjoong softly told him, Seonghwa just looking down and replying with an inaudible 'no'.

"I-I really want to do this... I j-just don't want to cry while being there." Seonghwa answered with a slight broken vocal.

He was still scared to face the reality. He was still scared of letting go.

"I have an idea." Hongjoong smiled and lifting up the other's chin.

The older just looked at him and waiting for his next words.

"How about later after we visit his grave, we'll go to the ice-skating park to take your mind off things? I heard you like dancing on ice~" Hongjoong offered, hoping to get a happy answer from the other.

"I-I don't know..." Seonghwa sighed again, Hongjoong was not feeling to take this answer.

"Just trust me on this one, hyung. Today is couple's night. I want you to be happy too and I believe that he wants your happiness, hmm?" Hongjoong made him look upon his eyes deeply, Seonghwa was left speechless and stunned.

"Why are you doing this?" Seonghwa asked him. The determination and willingness of the younger was unexpected from then.

Their friendship was shallower through the years, but as this thing happened starting from when Minho was sent, something was on Hongjoong's eyes was subtly telling a story. The two became so different and much closer to each other the past months. It was so overwhelming and sudden, yet it was warm and it felt so safe.

"Why wouldn't I?... You're my best friend... I don't see why I can just let you suffer alone when I know to myself I can do something about it. A Timebreaker of Time and a Timebreaker of Chance, brought together for a reason hyung... I wanna know what else do I need to do to finish both of our sufferings." Hongjoong answered him honestly, Seonghwa was left speechless and thinking...

Somehow, there was still something missing for the both of them.

"How are you up there?" Seonghwa asked the certain spot on the ground, he was looking at it for the past 5 minutes now.

He wanted to question time, he wanted to curse it for not being able to actually something to make someone stay.

"I miss you..." he whispered once again, letting a tear roll down his cheek as he looked away from the grave.

"Jayden..." he sobbed once more as he kept it to himself.

His heart was aching so badly, he was being drowned with it. He wanted to scream, to run away and kill himself. But at some point, something was holding him back from doing it...what was it? Who was it?
