I'M HERE ;; yeongyu ?

Yeonjun smiled as the tears continued to roll down his cheeks. He lift up his arm and caressed the younger's cheeks softly, as if making sure that this time...he was real, and not just a figment of his imaginations.

"Hey Gyu...I missed you, I missed you so much..." Yeonjun cried as he hugged the younger tightly.

"I know hyung, I know...I missed you too.." Replied the younger ever so sweetly.

Yeonjun scanned his eyes around him, the trees blooming pretty flowers, the ever flowing lake, the pearl white pebble stones scattered on the fresh green grass, and the sun's rays highlighting it's beautiful contents. The meadow was much more beautiful than it ever had been.

At that moment, pain filled Yeonjun's right arm once again. He looked at the message engraved with his own blood:

January 28, 2017

This was the day before Beomgyu had died in the fire...

He pondered at the carving for a minute or so.

Then it dawned him.

He travelled back in time...

Then he remembered everything that happened before this. The ticking; the faint chanting of a whisper; and the grandfather clock.

It wasn't just any other clock, it was a Time Turner.

-
H

owever, if what you truly seek is from deep down your heart...
You will find this not as an advantage, but a fortune for a new start...

-

He understood everything now..

The time turner had given him a chance to travel back in time to undo what he thought was right; it gave him a chance to realize that time is limited, and that it should never be taken for granted.

But time isn't to be given to everyone at once, it is to be found in your heart; to be pondered on who ever is ready to go back and correct what you have done wrong. It just needs a little perseverance, and patience.

And Yeonjun was patient. He may have never moved on from the younger's death for three years, but he found a way to keep him alive in his heart, through his imaginations; to keep loving him; to always believe that his Beomgyu would return to him once again.

Heck, he didn't even think twice to owe himself an apology for putting up with what he didn't deserve, because he did deserve it.

He smiled from ear to ear once again.

"Thank you hyung..." Beomgyu said as tears had also spilled down his cheeks.

"For what my love?..." Yeonjun asked.

"For bringing me back..."

"You know about what happened?.." Yeonjun asked again.

Beomgyu nodded and said, "I was always with you, hyung. I was there that night you visited my grave; those weeks that seemed like you wouldn't be happy ever again; the way you cried when you saw something that made you think of me...

...I was was with you all this time, you just couldn't see me. It broke my heart seeing you like that...But then, a miracle happened. And you know why?... It was because of you hyung...

...despite all those years, you still managed to love me whole-heartedly through your heart, and through your tears. You never stopped believing that I would one day be back, and we would meet each other again...

...So I thank you hyung, for everything you have gone through...for me.."

Yeonjun was speechless, he couldn't say anything. He just cried his heart out while hugging the love of his life.

They pulled away and just sat there, staring at each other's eyes, smiling. No words were needed to be spoken, they already knew what the other wanted to say.

Their eyes says it all...

Yeonjun leaned towards Beomgyu, tilting his head in the process as he closed his eyes, so did the younger. Their lips met, moving together in perfect sync.

Beomgyu wrapped his arms around the elder's neck as Yeonjun snaked his arms around the younger's waist, pulling each other in closer.

Oh how they missed each other...

Their love surely is one of a kind; the unbreakable kind; the one beyond compare.

They pulled apart still staring at each other ever so Iovingly.

"How about we go home Gyu? Hmm?..."

"I would love to hyung..."

And with that, they set off to their humble home, hand in hand. And they talked all the way home, missing the conversations they once had.

And that's where their love story ends.

It's just like what Yeonjun had said:

This isn't Goodbye, this isn't the end, it just means that I'll miss you...until we meet again...

And they did.

Their love stronger than ever before.

And they will be together forever...until death does them apart...

The End
