Fourth bragged into the restroom with trembling legs.
He quickly locked it and walked towards the faucet and washed his hands
He washed his face still looking down at the sink not having courage to witness his own reflection

He slowly looked up and saw how messed he looks.
He kept staring at his reflection.

Everything happened 10 years ago started to replay again and again in his mind like a broken video recorder.

How fool he is to think everything is over. How fool he is to think everything became good.
How fool he is to leave there by himself, thinking Dunk will be fine.
How fool he is to believe Dunk when he said

'I will come right behind you '

He let out a chuckle thinking how pathetic he was. Deep down he always had that one fear,
What if Dunk couldnt escape.

But he perfectly covered them up by concluding ' Dunk escaped. He is out there safely'

He felt like his eyes blurring because of tears. He tried to focus on his reflection.
He wanted to scream but felt like everything getting stuck in his throat.

He let out deep breaths to calm himself.

Only one thing is running inside his mind right now.

' I should find my brother before my teammates do '

5 days later.


" no.....Im telling you once again......egg was the first. It came earlier than the chicken ..." prom said with a serious expression.

" you big idiot " mark huffed.

Others just rolled their eyes at the two figures who are arguing for nothing.

Whole team is currently at the cafeteria getting ready for their lunch. But one isnt there yet.

" prom....why is fourth late? " phuwin asked in a worried tone.

Prom looked around and said.
" I dont know he said he had to finish something and be here soon..." prom said

" something related to our mission ? " pond asked.

" Im not sure....maybe? I tried to help but he said its fine so I think its not something about mission ...." prom said.

" he is little off these days right ? " gemini broke the silence surprising everyone

Phuwin nodded looking at gemini
" yh...I noticed that too. He tries to be alone alot these days....Im little worried " phuwin said

" Should I talk to him ? " joong asked with a hopeful voice.

" I dont think so.... if someone has to talk with him about this matter , it should be phuwin....He tend to open up to phuwin alot " pond said.

Phuwin sighed.
" hmm.but if something bothering him, and if he wants to talk about it, he always approaches me first....." phuwin said.

" but I think you should ask him about this . W- " joong was cut off

" oh....sorry Im late " everyone looked at the figure who just arrived.

" fourth....." prom said and made space for his friend to sit.

Everyone looked at each other , wondering how much did the younger hear about their conversation.

" did I make you all wait ? " fourth asked with a small smile.
