You know? A part of my heart cried seeing you together with him. Seems like it was yesterday you were so anxious for being taller than me. I laughed at you, that was a ridiculous thought. So what if you were taller than me? Childish, but that was the way you were. And I loved the way you were. By the way, yes, you're already taller than me. Just one or two centimeters, not much. People wouldn't realize that as long as you did not wear seven centimeters high heels on stage. People would be shocked too if you did. Height did not matter for me as long as you loved me like I did. Ha ha ha, really cheesy right? We burst into laugh like crazy in the middle of the night with hands fused together. But that was a long time ago. The time when we just smile for no reason, but just to be together. Time that just belonged to US.

Until. . .

"I have an affair."

I trailed my right hand along his dark brown hair, "I have an affair too, " I chuckled.

"I am not being funny, Jinki Hyung," he turned to face me. His cat eyes weren’t joking.

I lost my words. He's really not joking. My biggest fear came right away. His confession dragged me from my insanity. Who? Who was better  than me? Who stole your love? Who loved you more than I did? Who? Who? Who?

I just stared at you hopelessly. My tongue was just buried inside my throat. I couldn't say anything. Silence came over us until the hurt feeling in my chest started fading little by little. I cleared my throat.

"Who?"

You avoided my eyes. You just stood there, bitting your bottom lip. It’s just not like you.

"Who?" I repeated.

You cried. I started to panic. I hugged you tightly, forgot all of the confession you had said before. You sobbed louder and louder. Between those sobs I could hear the words 'Jonghyun Hyung'. How bitter this world is. Being stabbed from the back that could hurt people until their core. I just embraced him under the rain until his tears stopped like the rain. My heart had had been washed away. That day's rain left bitterness instead of the lovely scent of the wet ground.

-.-.-.-

"Hyung."

I turned, "Ah Taeminnie," I let out a sigh, "It's raining."

"Hyung, are you okay?"

I smiled, "Definetely . . . Yes."

Taemin made a face, he continued, "Dinner is ready, Hyung."

"Did you cook?"

"No, Key Hyung -- oh ngg I mean. . ."

"I'm not hungry. I'll sleep early tonight."

He stared at me. Waiting for the next reaction, yet I did not make any movement.

"Uh, okay then. I will tell the others."

Taemin left me silently. Hours passed. Rain was still falling. The lamps were already turned off. A-metal-like-thing on the stairs caught my attention. It sparkled beautifully in the dark. I took that familiar thing. A silver ring, no diamond, with two letters were engraved on it. K J

He threw it away. I had had been thrown away. I should've just go along with the rain.
