Wooyoung remembered this moment. This moment when 6 of their friends decided to invite themselves inside Wooyoung's home.

He remembered Hongjoong asking Wooyoung the same questions as before. He remembered watching Yeosang laugh and smile.

This time, Wooyoung could see all the sadness and pain behind his eyes. He noticed that Yeosang forces his laugh and smiles. He could see everything now. It made everything clear.

It was the same night that led him to lose Yeosang. He won't let that happen anymore. When Yeosang excused himself to supposedly "take a breath outside." He now knows when to take his steps.

"I'm going to check on Yeo." Wooyoung said, not noticing the gaze of the younger on him. Jongho is also one of Yeosang's closest friend. He knew something is going on with Yeosang but he is afraid that he'll scare Yeosang away. Watching Wooyoung made him felt relief.

Is it possible for other people to have the same type of wishes?

Wooyoung stepped out to the backyard, eyes wandering until it stopped on a certain figure.

"Why are you here?" He didn't expect to hear a pained voice reach out to him. He didn't expect to see a tear-stained face Yeosang looking back at him.

He was suffering yet no one knew.

Wooyoung didn't say anything, he sat down beside Yeosang and pulled him into a hug knowing that this will comfort his bestfriend.

Yeosang's body shake violently as more tears fall from his eyes. His head buried on Wooyoung's shoulder. Wooyoung rubbed circles to soothe the older.

He needed comfort. Why didn't he reach out?

Wooyoung spotted the others walking towards them. That's when it finally made sense.

Everyone knew but they ignored it. They thought nothing of it.

They were foolish. Foolish enough to believe that everything will be okay. But this time, are they finally doing something right?

Wooyoung smiled when everyone joined in on the hug. They made Yeosang step out of his shell.

Finally, seeing him smile so brightly made Wooyoung heart ache badly. He held his chest but smiled.

It is always a wish. It will always be a wish that went unheard.

Wooyoung just had to accept it. Accept the fact that Yeosang is gone. That he wasn't going to go back.

That a wish will always stay a wish. Nothing always come true.

Still. When 11:11 strikes, Wooyoung held his hands together and begged the sky. Begged for Yeosang to come back. Beg for something impossible.

End.

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

So the whole point is, at fhe first chapter. You would have notice that the clock is written there starting in 11:09 meaning Wooyoung broke one rule of the 11:11. The next day, he was unable to see the number 11:13 instead watch as the clock turned to 11:12 making his wish invalid.

To summarize, it is all a dream. It was never true. It's an imagination of how it would have turned out if he realized it sooner.
