Haechan walks down the rainy streets, bright red roses in his hands. The red roses were always Mark's favorite. He learned that through the many years they were together.

34 years to be exact.

Yes, for that many years Haechan had been Mark's sun and Mark had been Haechan's moon.

They adopted a child a few years after Mark got his first job at a library. He soon quit the job though and started publishing books. The first two did okay, but the third book he published did amazing. Mark then proceeded to travel the world where he voluntarily told kids stories.

Kids who never had someone tell them a story before. Kids who didn't have a proper home. Kids who just needed someone to put them to sleep.

And throughout the whole journey, Haechan was by his side.

And the kid they adopted, they named him Jeongin, named after Haechan's best friend's wish. He did really well in school and had the best two dads in the world. He graduated and is now working as a doctor, has a sweet wife, and is expecting his second child.

Haechan smiles and clenches the red roses closer to his heart, a tear trailing down his cheek. He arrives at his destination and pushes open the gate to the place.

He walks in and goes straight towards the familiar stone. Haechan stops before it and glances down, taking a deep breath before placing the red roses onto the grave.

"Hi, love," he whispers, watching the tombstone that has Mark Lee engraved into it.

Mark died to cancer two months ago. A sickness, not even a guardian angel can prevent.

"What do you say?" Mark asks.

"Adopting a child sounds great," Haechan answers him and nuzzles his small body closer to Mark's slightly firmer one. "We'll adopt a boy and you'll keep publishing more books. Then we'll grow old together and love each other till the very end."

"We will," Mark whispers. He turns his head and looks down at Haechan who's laying next to him. "I love you."

Haechan moves his face up to Mark's. "I love you too," he sings and gives Mark's smiling lips a peck.
