Seunghyun didn't know what to do. When he heard that voice...saying those words, his mind turned a blank. He was not able to process what was happening. He was lost for words. He couldn't think. He froze in the spot where he stood. His feet unable to move. Seunghyun...stared at the younger boy. He couldn't bring himself to tear his eyes from him. So long...it had been so long since he had seen this sight. The sight of his best, closest...no, dearest friend. He stared on even as Jiyong began to move closer and closer to him. After a few seconds, his eyes registered the movement. He could feel mobility return to his limbs. Dropping his head, Seunghyun began to walk forward. His plan? To walk right past the one approaching him. He believed he had caused him so much pain already...why bring him more? He drew nearer. The distance was closing at a rapidly increasing rate, even though both walked carefully and precisely. When Seunghyun became parallel to the Jiyong, he turned his head, confused why he was being ignored. Seunghyun took no notice and attempted to continue past. But something prevented him. Then he felt it. A hand on his sleeve. Not grabbing, necessarily, but lightly placed. Seunghyun could not bring himself to ignore such a soft gesture. The smaller boy gently turned him to face him. Jiyong had his head hung so that he was looking at his sneakers instead of him. 'Those are the ones we all chipped in for his birthday...' Seunghyun thought as he too looked to the ground.

"Seunghyun hyung...I-I-I'm sorry..." Jiyong said in a voice so quiet, it was barely above a whisper. This surprised Seunghyun. His head snapped up at the word 'sorry' coming from that mouth. "Why...?" he began, "w-why are you sorry...?" he placed a slight enfisis on the you. Jiyong looked up. Surprised when his eyes met the dark eyes of his hyung. "W-What..?"

"I am the one who should be saying sorry...I brought you so much pain. So much hurt. Why are you apologizing to me?" "listen...where are you living now...?" Jiyong asked tentatively. "Same place." "Could I drop by later and we discuss this? I haven't seen you and the others in so long...I don't really want to spoil this right now..." he answered Seunghyun unasked 'Why?'.

"W-Would it be possible to just ask you for the biggest hug you ever given and an escort to the studio...?" Jiyong had continued to watch his sneakers as he asked this. 'I love these...because everybody gave them to me...but also because to the note Dae had hid in the bottom of the box... "Jiyong...Seunghyun hyung...he was the one who picked these out for you. He thought these would just make your day when you saw them. He had the GaHo personalized for you...just in case you wanted to know..." He still remembered every word. They had made his day. It meant so much to him that Seunghyun still cared enough about him to think this way. He felt tears bead in the corners of his eyes when he felt his hand drop from the arm of his hyung. Sad that Seunghyun had refused him...he began to turn away just as two arms wrapped themselves around his tiny self. The arms were clad in the large, puffy red sleeves of Seunghyun's jacket.

Seunghyun could not believe what he heard coming from the mouth of the person before him. 'He wants to come over? He wants me to take him to the studio? He wants me to hug him?' Before he could even properly process what had been asked of him...he saw his arms wrap themselves around the small boy. He brought the others body close to his own. He fully embraced him. It was indeed the biggest hug he'd given in his life. He almost jumped when he felt arms wrap around his waist. Jiyong was hugging him back. As tight as they could, they embraced each other on the deserted street. When they broke apart, Seunghyun looked into the face of his friend for the first time in five long years. He was startled by the beauty he saw and the small, clear tears he saw dripping down the cheeks. Unaware of what he was doing, again, he lifted his hand from the boy's shoulder and wiped away the tears. Jiyong smiled at the small kindness. And grabbed Seunghyun's hand as he began to walk in the direction of the studio. Seunghyun inwardly smiled. And ran to match pace with him. As they neared the studio, Jiyong had already dropped Seunghyun's hand, but he turned to him with a questioning look. "Hyung?" "Yeah?" "Why are you wearing such a heavy coat?" It was almost ninety degrees outside...Seunghyun was just a little lost :)

As the two neared the door to the studio, they began to hear the whispers from inside.

"Do you think they found each other?" they heard Seungri's voice echo out into the hall. "Of course they did," this was Youngbae, "why else would it take Seunghyun hyung so long. Even on his worst days, he was always efficient when it came to stupid shit like that."

Jiyong turned to look at his hyung. 'What had they meant by 'his worst days'?'. He was confused. The team hadn't exactly kept him up to speed on the whole Seunghyun thing. They felt it would be better if they didn't interfere. None of them felt quite confident enough with there opinions of what was happening between their friends to attempt anything. If this turned bad, they didn't want to be the one's at fault for destroying the childhood friendship. Not wanting to hear anymore of the gossip before Seunghyun had the chance to tell him himself, Jiyong took hold of his hand again. He pulled him down to were he could successfully whisper in his ear, "Let's go hyung!" He said in such a childish way and tone. After these years he hadn't known he was still able to act like that. Seunghyun turned his head down to see the younger's expression. Jiyong held his eyes wide, pleading almost, and his mouth in the tiniest, gentlest smile he could manage. He felt the hard stare of his elder melt and he smiled a little wider. He pushed Seunghyun into the room first. He paused from the shock. The other members nearly jumped out of their skin. They all looked towards the door. When they saw nobody follow their hyung into the room, their faces fell. Seunghyun, who'd been watching them closely since the comments he'd overheard, noticed this. 'I smell foul play.' He saw that they were expecting someone else to be with him. This fact told him that, they knew Jiyong was returning to Korea, to Seoul, yet they didn't inform him. He was coming close to blowing, when he felt a small pressure on his back. Since Jiyong had always been shorter than him, this had always been his way of telling TOP to cool it. It wasn't worth it. He smiled, faintly, barely visible at the memories. After a few more awkward moments of silence, and after he was sure Seunghyun had calmed, he poked his head out from the taller boy.

"Annyeong chingu!" he said happily stepping out into their line of vision. Their chins nearly hit the floor. In attempt to stand, they tripped over each others feet and narrowly missed hitting the floor with their faces.

"Jiyong!" they squealed in unison. Seunghyun leaned against the door frame as he watched his friends consume Jiyong in a massive group hug. His eyes had locked onto his face, even the midst of the craziness. He watched as the younger boy's eyes lit up at the embraces of his missed friends. Seunghyun was forced to turn his head away, to lose the sight of his most precious person, to avoid showing him the tears he felt bead in his eyes. He didn't know if he'd ever be able to be included in one again...
