He fluttered his eyes open, then instantly turned off the music player and stood up from his chair. The man remained unfaze from all the noises that is coming from his living room. "Father, look!" The little guy exclaimed showing his magnificent painting, "looks good, keep it up baby." He responded, then proceeds on walking outside the house.

The man strolled around the garden, scanning and appreciating the blooming flowers. "Maybe if you're here, I can show you around." He muttered, eyes focused on the orange sky. Then, he remembered something from years ago.

"Fuck."

The man hissed, he immediately dashed inside his mansion and snatched his car keys, then proceeded to his car. As he sat on the car chair, he plugged the keys and started the engine.

It was quite a long ride but he told himself that it's all worth it when he arrive at the specific location. "How can I forget," He giggled, parking his car. Going out, he went at his car trunk and pulled a medium shovel and started walking into a specific direction.

Setting foot at the area, it took a minute for him to find that place. Good thing no one had dug from that place or else, it is already burned. Digging, he hoped that no one had really found it, and a little further the box was already showing making him smile.

Getting the box, he sat at the bare grass and opened the box carefully. He their capsules there, still complete, the tall man carefully pulled his late lover's capsule and opened it.

He unfolded the paper, it wasn't surprising when he saw what was written inside instead it made him tear up.

❛ Ah how do i start this? Actually, I wanna write a letter for Mingi. For future Mingi. Hey, I may not be able to survive after the surgery, wanna know why? Possibly, the half of my memories will be modified along with the memories of you, so I'll prefer dying than living forgetting you.

I just want to say that, i love you and thank you for everything. You forgave and chose me even I gave you pain and heart breaks. In the next life, we will live together and have family on our own. I love you... very much.

And I know that you've reached your dream now, so congratulations my love.

— yunho. ❜

Mingi smiled as he read the message once again, but this time he heard this by the other's voice. He couldn't help but be happy though Yunho isn't physically around anymore. "I miss you.. so much.." Mingi murmured, gently rolling back the paper and slid it inside his pocket.

After putting back the soil he dug, he went back to his mansion to take care of his only kid of course.

"Papa!" The little guy called, dashing towards his father, arms open. As Mingi heard the little kid, he also opened his arms and catched the kid. "How is Yeonwoo today?" He asked, booping his kid's nose, "Yeonwoo feels happy and energetic today!" Yeonwoo answered with utmost energy.

Yeonwoo, Choi-Song Yeonwoo. Mingi adopted the young kid since he was 5 years old, and next week will be celebrating his sixth birthday. The young kid was sighted around the streets, fighting with the dogs, which made Mingi sad and shock at the same time due to the kid's determination to kill the stray dogs.

In exchange, even though Mingi doesn't demand an exchange, Yeonwoo will stay beside his father forever. "Did you visited father today?" He questioned, earning a nod from his father, "I wish I met him, he seems nice." Yeonwoo added, frowning, "It's alright, you may not have seen him but he knows that you're with me and watching us from above." Mingi consoled, lifting Yeonwoo's mood.

Then, Mingi proceeded to walk inside the house to prepare some dinner and tuck his son to sleep.

❝ Is there a lifetime waiting for us?
