  Summary

  He thought, as he picked up a dirty yellow leaf landing right in front of the tip of his shoe, their love was more like this leaf. Seeming so beautiful, still fresh and so stunning as he held it against the light of the weak autumn sun, one eye squinted close as the leaf only covered half of his face.
  But as he loosened his grip and the leaf sunk weakly towards the floor, he realised there were more brown stains covering the surface of the leaf than fresh yellow life. And as he stomped on it, a soft crunch reaching his ears, he realised that it would never be as evergreen again as the leaves covering the trees high above his head.
   

  "When it ends, let it end."
  or: Once having been such a strong love, Donghyuck and Mark's relationship still finds an end as they slowly drift apart, having let go of each other's hands without the thought of grabbing them anew.

  Summary

  "It was when I watched your hands fidget with the label of the bottle in your hands that I wondered if it was okay for me to whisper in your ear to just play with my fingers instead, to let skin grace skin and to bathe in the way it made me feel less alone; made me feel more in the present.
  I wondered if it was okay, because I didn’t know the boundaries of two people who had once been so close and who had now built a wall between them that screamed of only friendship and nothing more. I wondered if I had already started to climb over a good portion of that wall when I had decided to sit next to you, legs crossed and knee touching your thigh. I hated how much I relished in that small touch, as if it was everything I needed to live on."

   
  "Letting go of what was is a way of being with what is."
  or: After leaving the safe warmth of the routine that was once their relationship, Donghyuck wonders just how he was supposed to deal with all of this - especially when it came to the way he was supposed to act around the other.
