Maybe sometime in the future, Yohan can reveal the fact that he knew all along about Hayun's aunt. Or rather his lack of one. He can gasp and feign shock and tease him about the lie. But not doing it today is clearly the right choice. Not right now. Not when Hayun is falling apart.

Hayun pulls his face away from Yohan's arm and scrubs at his eyes with his free hand, trying to dry them. But he can't stop. The tears just won't stop coming. They slow, but they never quite stop falling. He feels like they'll never stop and he hates it. He hates that Yohan is seeing this side of him. Yohan was never supposed to see this part of his life. He was never meant to see the lonely, depressed boy.

"But why did I have to lose them? I loved them so much. They were my favourite people and now they're just gone and I'll never see them again." Hayun tugs his hand free from Yohan's grasp and moves to lay down on the bed with his back to the older man. "It's hard to not feel like it's all my fault." Even though he was a kid trying to take care of his sick grandparents (he's still a kid) so what could he have possibly done differently?
