Time flies. Memories fade. People change.

They say that time changes everything. That within the span of time, people change. Be it for the good or worse. 

Well, they couldn't be anymore wrong.

"Ready?" Suho asked. Fixing the cuffs of his shirt, he ly to face a sullen looking Sehun, curled on his bed, making no intentions to move anytime soon. "I'm not going. Go without me," he said, curling himself in the shape of a ball. "Yah. Stop acting like a child," Suho chided. 

Sehun ignored him, fixing his eyes onto a certain spot on the wall. "Why?" he whispered. Suho blinked. "You were saying?"

Sehun cleared his throat, still having his gaze on the wall. "Why?" he asked again, this time a little bit clearer. Suho stopped fixing his cuffs and stared at the boy with a soft expression. He made his way to sit at the edge of the bed.

"It's a cycle of life, Sehunah"

"I know that" Sehun snapped. "I'm not a kid anymore." He sat up, ruffling his hair with his left hand. "Why? Why him?"

"Do you expect me to know that? I'm not a god. People die,Sehun. It's a fact of life, accept it." Suho patted Sehun's shoulder. "I know it's hard to believe, but life goes on. Come on now, get dressed. The others are probably there by now." With that, he got up and tossed a crisp black dress shirt to Sehun.

Sehun snorted. "You made it sound so easy, hyung"

Not making an effort to return the sharp comment, Suho turned to face the door. Blinking back tears that had started to gather in his eyes, he twisted the doorknob. "I'll wait in the car"

I can't believe it too, Sehun. But I'll try to accept it. And I hope you do, too.

There's quite a number of people when they arrived. He parked his car under a gleaming black Porsche, which he know belonged to one of his friends. Silent, they both made their way to a group of men standing in a corner.

"Hey guys" Suho greeted, his eyes lost their usual shine. He heard a mixture of replies as he made himself comfortable by standing beside Chanyeol. The giant was silent, unlike the usual Chanyeol that they all knew. The Chanyeol that exuded happiness and warmth. The Chanyeol that usually smiled so large as if something made him really happy. This Chanyeol that is standing beside him right now however, was silent without an ounce of expression on his face. 

Kyungsoo sniffed. All of them didn't try to make an effort to speak. He felt his phone buzzed. He took it out, only to see the blinking lights of his phone, alerting him of a new message.

From: Jaemi

Don't wait for me. i'm running a bit late. Sorry

"Jaemi says she's running late, and not to wait for her" Kyungsoo said lifelessly. A few heads snapped up on hea
