Past:

"Ah! Catriel, come here child." The ten year old wooyoung who had woken up few hours before and had eaten some soup looks at the girl around his age comes on the command of the old man and sits on the ground on her legs and bow infront of him to ground as a greeting.

Wooyoung bow his head slightly and looks at the old man in question who answers him.

"This is my granddaughter. She can't speak, since she was born." The old man stroke the girl's head who smile at him.

Present:

"Have you met any of our parents family by chance?" Jimin questions this time.

He watches as a smile cross wooyoung's face and he only shrug in answer.

Jimin frown.

"Have you?" He inquired.

"Maybe." Wooyoung looks in Jimin eyes and completed, "Maybe not."

"Now what does that supposed to mean?" Jimin asks kind of irritated now.

"Simply, that even I have met any one they were not worth meeting." With that, wooyoung stand and stretch and smile as wind blew through his hairs, ruffling the silver locks and Jimin couldn't help but admired his younger brother handsomeness.

"You have met someone. You are hiding from me." Jimin scoffed teasingly.

"Yes, it's true. I had, met someone. It was quite a meeting I must say but... He wasn't worth meeting."

"Who was he?"

"Someone." Wooyoung nods his head and repeated his answer looking in far at the sun.

"Someone."

"Someone?" Jimin inquired.

Wooyoung sigh and looks back at him.

"Forget about it. Weather is quite pleasant right?"

"Don't change the topic wooyoung. I want to know."

"Why?"

"What do you mean by why? I just- Argh! Fine! But at least tell me, Who is Ellen?"

Wooyoung eyes were widen then widen. He was taken aback by sudden question..

"El-len...?"

"Yes, who is this girl?"

Jimin watch as wooyoung look like he has just seen a ghost. Eyes down and unfocused, lips agape, breaths uneven.

Wooyoung run a hand through his hairs and looks at the sky, closing his eyes, hand grabbing his front hairs, taking a deep breath to calm himself down and stop his sudden tears and after that, without looking at Jimin, he excused himself and made his way to his room.

Leaving, Jimin feeling worried and guilty of asking the question out of no where.

Who can blame Jimin? He was becoming frustrated and the curiosity got the best of him.

"Idiot! Fucking idiot!! Should have kept your mouth shut!!" Jimin blamed himself and looks at where his brother had just went.

He sigh and looks at the sky, his eyes fell on the one star shinning in the sky.

"Star? At this time?" Jimin stands and kept watching it.

Past:

"KILL HIM! HE SHOULDN'T LEFT HERE ALIVE!!"

Ten year old wooyoung looks behind and then back at the fifteen year old catriel who was panting equally like him and looks back from where the voices coming from and then back at wooyoung.

"Come on! We need to get out of here right now! This is it. They won't cross the boarder." He tug on catriel hand he was holding while running. But, catriel shakes her head in no and takes a step back. Their interwined hands breaking apart with catriel taking a step back as a tear rolled down her baby face.

"Plea-" Wooyoung was cut off by catriel shaking her head oh so slowly in no and smiles softly behind the tears.

"No. Ca- *hiccup* They have killed your grandfather- you still want to-to *sob* to stay here?" Wooyoung ask with a shaky voice.

Catriel sobs silently also and nods slowly, hands reaching for wooyoung but they both just knew that this was it. They can't be together any more. So, catriel just drop her hands side of her and looks down before looking up and their both, holding so much emotions in them eyes met.

Catriel pass wooyoung a small smile and begin to sign. Wooyoung had learn the sign language in these five months he stayed with catriel and the old kind man who was brutally killed by the village people because apparently, he was betraying them by saving that buster kid named wooyoung.

'This land is where I was born, this land is my encestors land. My family generation had served this village with their medical inheritance for many years, and I want to do the same. You go. And don't look back. You have a reason to live, just like I also have to stay here and served.'

Altho, wooyoung couldn't understand all of it but mostly he did.

And, he just looked down, smiling through pain with tears, catriel also cry silently.

As they heard the voices of villages coming closer and closer every second passing. With wide crying eyes, catriel glance at back and back at wooyoung, she hug him tightly making wooyoung finally let out a sob and hugs her back.

But, after few seconds later, catriel broke the hug and push him back pointing him to just go.

Wooyoung shakes his head while crying.

Catriel comes closer and kiss wooyoung's lips with closed eyes. It was a small peck and then looks in his eyes pushing his questioning eyes backward slightly while signing with other hand.

'I like you.'

Her delicate fingers push slightly against his chest again.

Wooyoung shakes his head, crying, begging her to stop without any words saying while still in shocked with this new information.

"N-o-"

The villages were so closed to them now, luckily they were hidden due to the trees.

Catriel glance back and push wooyoung with all her might making him takes few steps back.

'Leave!' she signed and with many emotions in both of their eyes, catriel was the first one who grab her dress for easy running, and after again a glance at her. She run, on the other side.

Wooyoung couldn't help but run away also.

He could hear the villages going  where catriel had just run to, leading them to the opposite way he was.

So, wooyoung run and run and not once look back.

But, after running for who knows how long without a destination, he finally fell on his hands and knees, hurting them as tears fall on ground near his fisted hands.

"Hey, man! You okay!?"
