My Cold Prince's

Nightfall.

Junho is having dinner with his family. There is his father (Cha Junsu), his mother (Lee Eunsoo) and his sister (Shin Hyunho). Junsu and Eunsoo were sitting next to each other in front of Junho, while Hyunho was sitting next to him.

Eunsoo held out a plate that had rice on it for each of them. Not to forget, he also put the side dish on the rice. A piece of fried chicken and vegetable capcay.

"How was your school today Junho?" ask Eunsoo, on the sidelines of eating.

"not bad" Junho replied, briefly.

Junho sliced the fried chicken into small pieces, then gave it to Hyunho.

"Thank you hyung"

Junho smiled faintly.

"Hyunho, what is your school today?" ask Junsu.

"Very fun. I have a lot of new friends. They're all good. We even play together during break." Hyunho replied, sounding very excited.

"really?. That's great."

"I'm done eating. I'll go to the room first" Junho said.

Junho shifted his chair back, stood up, then walked up the stairs towards his room.

Junho closed and locked the door of his room. He put the key on the nightstand.

Junho was sitting on a sofa with his back that was leaning freely. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then exhaled violently.

Momentary. His eyes were fixed on a figura that was displayed on the wall of his room. A figura containing a picture of his family. His father, his mother, his late brother-myungsoo and also himself.

In the photo, Papa and his mother sit on an elongated sofa. While Junho stood while embracing his papa from the right side, and his late brother who stood up and embraced his mother from the left side. They all laughed and looked very happy.

This photo is an old photo. It was taken when Junho was 8 years old, and his older brother who was then 13 years old. Now, Junho's age is 16. That means the photo was taken about 8 years ago. The photo has become the only photo with her biological mother and her late brother still remaining.

Her biological mother? Who is Lee Eunsoo? Isn't Lee Eunsoo Junho's mother??

Junho again sighed heavily, then threw it away violently. He choked. It feels so mixed to see that photo. Junho should have been happy to see the photo, as it also showed his family looking very happy. But Junho even seemed to want to cry now. I don't know, looking at the photo actually makes him feel very sad.

There was a lump of pain in his chest that had lingered until now and was still incurable. When he saw the photo, his chest always felt pain.

Junho crept his chest hard. His tears that had accumulated in the eye pelukur were already unstoppable. Junho finally cried. His crying voice sounded heavy. Noiseless, but her tears kept coming down until they seeped down her cheeks. Junho choked, and several times tried to regulate his breathing because his chest felt tight now.

"Junho Kangen Myungsoo"

Junho was crying. He crumpled his pants tightly.

"Junho is also kangen mama"

Junho started to close his eyes for a while.

In his mind is trying to evoke the memory - the memory of a few years ago. When his family is happy.

Junho still remembered very well, when his mother always nagged on his brother because he liked to chill him but his brother even grinned and made his mother stop nagging, but his mother stopped nagging, then they both ended up chasing each other and tickling each other. Junho who was observing the two could only laugh.

Junho also remembered the time when his father came home from the office and complained of pain. His father was spoiled by telling his mother to massage and his mother actually pinched his papa's thigh until his papa screamed in pain. Then mama would nag again, almost without pause. He said not only Papa is tired but mom is also tired. Even more tired of my mom. Must mop, sweep, wash dishes, and so forth. Then her father would hug her mother quickly whenever her mother started nagging.

While Junho and his brother who were in the same room with them, only shook their heads when they saw the behavior of his parents who were sometimes childish. In the end, they both laughed together.

There were still many moments of their modest family happiness in the past. Which certainly cannot be repeated in the present.

Junho was drowned and returned moody when he remembered the fact that everything was only a memory.

Because no one else could spell Junho and Junho could not laugh with his brother anymore, because in reality Myungsoo-sister Junho was gone.

Junho also could not see his mother who was always nagging, because her mother was depressed now and is now in a mental hospital. Don't nag. Even her mother would not want to meet and talk to her now.

No more colorful days. For Junho it all felt dark now.

I don't know. As the days grew, everything also grew heavier for Junho. Junho felt confused, what to do now.
