I sat at the edge of the couch looking over at the young man outlining a tall figure, munching on his fourth box of instant hot and sour cup noodles.

He slurped the last few drops of the liquid leaving the plastic cup with a tint of white, as clean as if something didn't exist in the first place.

A loud and mannerless burp left the full big mouth of his as he emptied the whole glass of soda in one sip. One breath.

The tiny shelf of my kitchen usually filled with a considerable amount of junk food like those cup noodles, chips and drinks were now lying inside the tummy of this broad-shouldered man right here.

He finally tossed a couple of mint flavoured sugary candies into his mouth to freshen up the bad odour it emitted.

My eyes continued staring at him while he chewed like there was no tomorrow. His mouth was still moving up and down continuously at the same pace demonstrating the motion of munching.

Things haven't changed much. But his body surely has.

His previous chubby, soft and plushier cheeks had now transformed into a more masculine and manly jawline.

His natural brown hair were covered with a fake shade of blondish grey covering the slight upper portion of his deep black eyes, making it look even more beautiful.

His cheekbones could be held responsible for making the sharp features of his face even more prominent. The face cut he had added a little hint of sexiness in the structure alone.

His pink lips being covered by the glossy layer of thick, dripping sauce made the plump flesh look even more kissable.

The little area just below his eyes had wrinkled a bit much indicating that he laughed a lot adding a humorous aura around him as it did.

Neck bones visibly shone out through the deep necked and thin sweater covering his body. His big hands holding the chopsticks looked soft and innocent.

Noticing him turn into such a handsome man seemed quite impossible. His body said otherwise but his habits still surely didn't.

What I did fail to notice was the unusual amount of time I had spent staring at him until he started giving out all his cocky faces, wiggling his eyebrows along as he did.

"Can't get enough of my gorgeous face, can ya ?" He asked in a flirtatious tone while a wave of warm blood headed towards my cheek.

"I have seen better..." I stated quickly to hide my sign of embarrassment picking up the glass placed right beside me and brought it up to my lips in attempts of drinking the fizzy liquid only to realise that Jin already emptied it.

"You are still a crackhead." His lips curled up into a slight smile and his eyes went lost somewhere as if reflecting the memories of our childhood together.

"If you are done eating fat ass, let's answer some things. Why did you scare the shit out of me by making such a dramatic entrance ?" I asked making some angry kinda pout thingy which probably didn't work.

"I so don't have a fat ass. In fact, my ass is the cutest." He said patting his butt making a cute-but-disgusting pose.

To be brutally honest, his ass didn't look that bad.

"And God, you should have seen the look in your face. It was so freaking hilarious. Your whole face went white as if you had seen a ghost or a giant beast human-eating monster."

He did his old famous whale squeak laugh as memories hit me again. He used to do it all the time when we were young. At least one of us hasn't left the habit of smiling and being happy.

"On a serious note, I came to Seoul a week ago. I was just roaming around when I happened to see you walking out of that super-rich ass building."

"Roaming around at 11pm in streets and caught me ? Such an unfortunate coincidence." Wiping my fake tears away, he laughed a bit before hitting my shoulder lightly.

"I didn't almost recognise you at first, but that smile, how can I forget it." His voice sounded soothing as his eyes bored deep in mine.

Those eyes. Those beautiful eyes seemed endless as if there was no end to their horizon. Covered in a shade of the deepest black, everything around the world started fading away as both of our eyes met.

It was just him and me, trapped in this small moment which continued extending like an eternity. Like forever.

We both started leaning. Not aware of anything, besides the feeling of togetherness. Soon enough his breath started brushing on my face, on my lips.

Just when the two pieces of flesh were going to mould in each other, he backed away and so did I.

"Woah, that was close-"

"Those last few seconds don't exist in our memories anymore." I quickly stated and he gave a nod of agreement.

The atmosphere was still quite awkward because of the almost intimate moment we bound to share until he stated a conversion to divert our attention from it.

"So-uhm how are your parents ? I haven't seen them since a great while." He questioned coming back to the same posture he acquired but his curiosity about my parents sent a chill down my spine.

The most horrifying nightmares which I experienced yet were because of them. Mine didn't deserve the respect to be pronounced with the most caring post present in the world.

"Dead." I simply replied holding back the tears which threatened to break out any moment.

A frightened and sorrowful sigh left Jin's mouth as the words of sympathy rushed out of his lips, "Oh I am so sor-sorry. How-When did this happen?"

This. Probably the most dreaded question which reached my ears. I couldn't even suppress the emotion I was expecting.

It was so indifferent, so unusual. My head pulled itself down afraid of making even a small contact to anyone's eyes.

A small sniffle left my mouth as my voice cracked and searched for the answer to his question.

"I-I killed them..."
