His Happiness

The moon was beautiful that night. The skies were clear and the stars were visibly dancing around the full moon.

Hongbin sat on the chair of their balcony and watched the moon shine upon the dorms alongside the Dark Hakyeon. The younger watched the Dark Hakyeon fall asleep soundly on his shoulders as if there was nothing more that can break this moment they were having together.

As he watched the other sleep so peacefully, Hongbin could not resist to hold tightly onto the other's hands. There was indeed a faint string that had formed between the two of them. It was there but exactly for how much longer?

Just thinking about the remaining time they may have together, Hongbin's tears began to fall. He tried to hold his sadness back but the pain his heart was endless.

He knew he had to let go sooner or later but it broke his heart even more to know that there was no other choice after all.

Hongbin forced his eyes to close in order to prevent any more tears from falling while trying to remain strong. He didn't want to let go of the hand that night nor did he want to see the strings that attached them together to disappear on day.

The Dark Hakyeon only pretended to fall asleep.

As he closed his eyes, he could feel Hongbin's hands shaking with sadness and the younger sobbing in silence. Both of them knew that their relationship would have to end eventually but neither of them could bring themselves to talk about it.

The two simply wanted to cherish whatever time they have left together that night.

You know, I'm thankful for everything you have done for me. You and the others have done so much that even I don't know if I can ever repay for it all. I've committed so much sins in the past yet not only have you forgiven me but also gave me a place where I can finally call home. You've opened your arms to let me in your life and falling in love with you was the best thing I could ever ask for. I would want nothing more than to watch you and the others to find happiness once more.

Taekwoon wandered around the dark mansion, hoping that he could trust Hakyeon's words of returning. But it has been awhile and the older have yet to return.

I should've went with him... he regretted.

Taekwoon became worried that something might have happened to the other while he went out of the mansion. Just as he was about to leave to look for the other, the large front doors opened. Immediately, Taekwoon rushed down the long stairway to see who it was. The moment he saw Hakyeon return, he became relieved.

'Hakyeon-ah,' Taekwoon called out.

Hakyeon looked up at the other.

'I'm back,' he said.

But Taekwoon noticed something about the older's smile. It was weak.

He became worried to see the other like that suddenly and decided to approach him.

'Did something happen?' He asked Hakyeon.

'Hmm? Nothing.' Hakyeon told him. 'Are you hungry? Let's make something to eat? Where's the kitchen again?'

Taekwoon showed Hakyeon the kitchen and the dining area. He was about to offer to help prepare the food but Hakyeon insisted that he takes the lead instead.

Hakyeon was strangely quiet during the preparations and Taekwoon could tell that something was definitely on the other's mind yet he was too afraid to ask what it could be. He was just happy that Hakyeon was finally with him.
