Luhan glanced at his dongsaeng who was fidgeting about his feet. He was nervous. 

Of course, it was their debut stage, who wouldn't be nervous. The duo was about to debut with 10 other equally talented men into a group under SM - a group called EXO. 

Sehun sacrificed his job as the assistant manager of a bank and chose to focus on his dream - becoming a world famous artiste. He gave up riches. He sold his car and mansion so that he could settle for a cozy apartment in the suburbs of Seoul. The quaint little neighbourhood he lived in was quiet and the people there were extremely friendly. He had bought a economic class domestic flight from Busan to Seoul.

He wanted to forget. 

But he can't. 

The memories were too much, too much to handle. He needs someone to comfort him. He vowed never to fall in love ever again. 

He didn't want to be heartbroken. He didn't want this pain.  

But he deserved it, didn't he?

Only Chanyeol and Luhan knew what actually happened. Sehun doesn't want his members to feel burdened about it. He chose to keep it to himself, he chose to tell it to the only people he trusted. The others will know.

Soon. 

~December~

The first snowflake touched down on the bustling city of Seoul. It was a cold winter morning. Christmas was coming and Sehun felt something pressing down on his chest. 

He didn't expect this. He didn't expect that time would fly so quickly. 

But it just had too, didn't it?

The date was drawing near. He had to face it, he had to.

~Christmas~

It was the day. The day where he would meet her again.

A bouquet of carnations in one hand and his car keys in another, he slowly walked to his car. The rest of EXO M followed behind him, wondering whether they would actually meet this 'girl' that Luhan had told them in a drunken stupor. 

He didn't blame Luhan for accidentally spilling the truth out. He needed someone to talk to and Luhan's bandmates - sub group EXO M, had comforted him. 

They arrived at the grey marble tombstone, the grass sprouting fresh amongst in, mimosas clustered in bunches at the foot, and some plants had begun to creep its way up the eerily grey gravestone.

Kang Eun Hee (1993 - 2017)

Tenderly I treasure the past,

with memories,

that will surely last.

A loving wife, an adoring friend

It was such a tragedy that one so beloved

shall be taken from us.

We express our grievances to the husband Oh Sehun on his wife's passing. 

Sehun kneeled down before the tomb and bowed three times, before placing the flowers on the grass. 

"Eun Hee-ah, if you can hear me, I really want to turn back the time. I wished I knew you better. I wish I was a better person. I wish you were still here. Eun Hee ah, I prepared a song for you today. If you were still here, I know you'll love this song," Sehun cried, tears pouring from eyes like faucet.

His nose had turned red from crying and his eyelids start to become puffy. He steadied his voice before starting to sing the first verse.
