"Jun?"

"Hello? Jun?!"

Annoyed, Qin Jun turns to look at the pest that broke him out of his thoughts.

"What Kira?"

Yamato Kira frown, "What's wrongs with you? I asked you a question, but you didn't answer. Sheesh."

Qin Jun: "What is it?"

Kira: "I said, did hyung say anything to you on that day?"

Qin Jun stare unblinking at Kira then his eyes move back to the window.

'Did hyung say anything....'

He could remember that day as if it was just yesterday... no.. as if it had just happened. It was a nightmare he will never forget.

A nightmare he has yet to wake up from.

Three years ago....

Qin Jun was with Shin, waiting for the groom to get ready. Everything went smoothly with nothing admist.

Qin Jun was happy for his brother and sister. They were bound by the red thread of fate.

When 8am arrived, Shin wanted to go to the church first. He wanted to arrive before his soon to be wife and welcome her with opening arms.

Instead of driving Qin Jun's car, Shin wanted to drive his Aston Martin One. Qin Jun didn't find anything wrong with the idea so he agreed.

However, who would have thought, half way to the church, Shin's car brakes suddenly stopped working. Sounds of cars honking could be heard from every direction. They ran light after light.

Shin had always loved racing, so they made it without hitting any other cars or getting hit.

But their only option left was to crash the car into something to stop it. Just when they found a good spot with no pedestrians..... a semi-truck smash into their car from Shin's side. The car was total but the both of them survived with a few wounds.

Qin Jun was able to get out of the car and help Shin get out, but the moment he got Shin out, his eyes widen in disbelief.

"Hyung...."

Shin was smiling his usual free spirit smile, his smile was one that can make someone want to smile too.. but... blood... there were blood coming out of his nose and mouth..

"Hyung... you're"

*thud*

Before Qin Jun could finish, Shin had fainted.

"Hyung!!!!!!!"

Qin Jun remembered calling the ambulance, but he didn't remember how he got inside. Everything happened so fast. As if he was in a terrifying nightmare.

Inside the ambulance, the paramedics had put an oxygen mask on Shin to help stabilize him. But... he kept coughing. His cough was far worse than usual.

"Hyung! Hold on! We're almost to the hospital!"

Shin couldn't answer but try to gasp for more air and cough.

"Hyung!!"

Qin Jun felt helpless watching as more blood continue to escape Shin's mouth. Each time he cough, more blood ooze out.

A paramedic change the oxygen mask because the blood was clogging the oxygen airway for Shin. Just when a new mask was about to be put on, Shin weakly lift his hand to stop the paramedic.

"Jun...."

Shin turn his head to look at Qin Jun, his eyes held thousands of emotions. However, his eyes at this moment were mainly filled with guilt and regret.

"Help me... take care of her....."

"Qin Jun? Jun? Hyung?"

Coming back to reality, Qin Jun turn his head and stare at his friend for a long minute, then he slowly shook his head.

"Hyung didn't tell me anything, except to take care of her."

For his hyung, he will take care of her. Even if it meant till the end of him, he will watch her from the shadows.
