"Chup, how was it, it's not bitter right?"

Hong was speechless. His brother's face at that time looked like he really enjoyed it, smiling very beautifully like the old him. Hong lifted his two weak arms to wrap around his brother's neck.

"Brother"

There was the sound of a smile from Fei as Hong closed his eyes and hugged him tightly. His brother's body was very warm and comfortable, so comfortable that it made his chest which had been tight calmer.

"Hey, stupid kid, I love you"

"Ah"

Hong turned his head, and although his eyes haven't see clearly yet, he saw someone sitting beside him, holding his hand and lowering his head down on his hand.

"Brother" he called in a hoarse voice. Hong raised his hand to touch the figure that might have been his older brother.

But, he wasn't.
