Chapter 44:

Your POV

He was running away from you.

He was running somewhere that I'm not familiar with.

What is this place?!

Is this out of city already?!

OH! His stamina!

I can't run anymore.

But i have to!

I know he needs me.

I need him too.

What is this feeling I'm having?! I know I'm hurt but there's something else towards Onew.

I was still running even though I'm totally out of breath.

I saw him turning to the right.

Wait.

Oh. I lost him.Where did he go?!

Run Chaerin, run!

Go for him.

I started running again.

He was gone!

Onew.

Onew oppa.

I'm coming.

I will find you!

When i turned to where he turned just now, I saw a beach.

Wait, beach?! Where did this came from?!

There wasn't much people.

It was quiet and calm.

The sound of the wave is so refreshing.

I walked around looking for Onew.

He should be here.

I walked further more and there he was.

Standing facing the beach and his back was facing towards me.

I was standing behind him.

"You shouldn't have followed me," That startled me a little.

He knows that I was following him.

"Onew-shi,"

"Stop calling me that,"he was still facing his back.

I walked closer towards him.

Now, I was standing next to.

Our arms brushing each other.

"Why shouldn't I follow you? And I can't called you Onew?"

"How can you be talking like this at time like this?"

"At time like what?"

I faced him. He was looking away from me.

"Jinki oppa," I called and that made him look at me.

He was looking into my eyes.

And i felt something.

Something which is interwoven between us.

But I couldn't figure out what.

I couldn't take my eyes out of him.

Then I force myself to look away.

"You guys were listening to what we were talking the whole time?" He asked and his expression changed which he was trying to hide.

I just nod my head.

He sigh deeply.

"Why did you came after me?"

"I...I...," I couldn't answer.

Why did I ran after him. It was my instinct, my legs made me run.

"I thought you needed me," I told him.

He chuckled when I couldn't answer.

"Look, really, I came after you because ....because....well...I don't want to see you hurt,"

"Thank you," He said merely a whisper.

"For what?"

"I don't know, feel like saying it,"

"Jinki oppa, why don't you cry now," I bit my lower lips.

He looked at me.

I looked into his eyes.

Is he trying to read my mind?

"I'm here to give you a lending shoulder. Cry out all your problems out and believe me, you'll feel fresh," I said with an excitement tone to encourage him.

"Qincha?"

I nod.

"But I don't think I can cry,"

"ya! Don't think that if you are a guy, then you shouldn't cry in front of a girl. I'm different,"

Without any prior notice, he pulled me into a hug.

Contented with shock, I was frozen for a moment but then my hands hugged him too.

At least I could give him a hand.

"My parents died when I was young," He was still hugging me.

He continued.

"I was sent to an orphanage.There, a young couple adopted me. They were Soojin's parents. Soojin's parents didn't have any child for a long time and decided to adopt an orphan, who was me. Then later on after I was adopted, Soojin was born,"

"They still took care of me like their own son.Gave me education, gave me freedom, gave me money to spend.They even allowed me to be a trainee because of my dream. They know I was talented,"

"That's how I met Minho and the others. We became so close that we could call ourselves brothers," He was still hugging me but tighter.

"The last time I saw my real parents when I was 4 years old. I only have their picture with me. It's actually a family picture with me in my mum's hand when I was a baby,"

Now I know he is crying.

Pabo! You still don't want me to see you cry.

I hugged him closer.

Hope all his sorrow will be gone by passing it to me.

Oh, Jinki oppa.

Tears rolled down my my eyes down my cheeks,
