Missing You 《Raon》

Another year has passed.


The world has changed a lot since the first time this place was built.


Henituse Museum.


Where the history of the horrendous wars in the past were 'captured in place' and glorified by nowadays people.


Two black haired men could be seen standing in front of a picture of a certain red-haired hero.


[The Young Master Silver Shield.


The Hero That Shall Never Be Seen Again.


Cale Henituse]


That was what's written in golden plaque under the faded painting.


"Choi Han... that's not him... that's not our human"


The painting was indeed that of Continental Hero, Cale Henituse. However, this painting... doesn't look like the real person.


The Cale they know doesn't look this cold.


The Cale they know wouldn't smile like that either.


'It is ruined'


Yet as much that black dragon wanted to fix it, he can't.


He could not fix anything, for he too...


He doesn't remember exactly how his human would smile at him.


"Raon... let's go"


Choi Han nearly have to drag his nephew away before either of them could breakdown...


Though, it's not like anyone would see them anyway.


Deserted.


Just like many museums in this modern era... deserted and almost ready to be forgotten.


They were actually here because both of them starting to feel like their own time is nearing and they wanted to have one last chance to see how their lives back then.


Full of adventures.


Full of mischief.


Full of smiles.


Raon stopped on his track when he saw that blue piano that held thousands of memories.


His noona wanted this piano to be placed here instead of at the Villa.


She wanted her story to live as long as it could possibly be along with this discolored piano.


"Say, Manager-ssi"


Today, the two of them were guided by the Museum's manager herself.


The lady of course has been told about these two gentlemen, which is why she was especially careful as she replied to the black dragon.


"Yes, Raon-nim?"


Without wasting any second, Raon said what he wanted to do ever since he lays his eyes on the instrument.


"Grab a chair for Choi Han and one for yourself. I'm going to play a song."


He didn't say it sternly nor did he uses his dragon fear, however, the lady knows that it was a command, not asking for a permission.


Respectfully bowing, she decided to agree with his words with only one thing left to say.


"My apologies, Raon-nim. Since On-nim had told us that it was not to be played but rather to be placed on a display, we haven't properly tuned it ever since. Would you like me to call someone?"


She offered, to which he declined.


"I can do it myself"


And that's exactly what he did.


With his magic, he tuned the piano perfectly, though he did nothing to fix the rest of it.


His noona wouldn't want that after all.


Soon enough, that black dragon found himself sitting in front of the piano with his two VIP audiences ready to listen...


When I am by myself
Looking at photos and videos
That we took
I've been keeping them for so long


These words that he has always wanted to say but he couldn't...


The regrets that he kept inside of him for himself to bear...


These thoughts that has been bugging him but could never be openly shared...


Today, he's going to let it all out as his way to say goodbye.


And with my broken heart
I see all the pictures of myself
Living life without you just feels so wrong


It feels wrong.


To survive for this long feels extremely wrong.


This loneliness... this pain...


He never said it to his uncle, His life companion, but sometimes he just wished not to be blessed with such a long life like this.


I want you to be here with me
I know it sounds crazy
I miss your laugh and
I miss everything
We used to be


'I miss you all...'


His mother, grandpa lemonade, goldie gramps, great cook Beacrox, smart Rosalyn, Little Crown Prince, Good girl Mary, Nice Lock, Diligent Basen, Strong Lilly...


Everyone.


Especially his human.


His special human.


His savior...


His father, Cale Henituse.


And even if it is just for a while
Then God please give us the time
I can't deal with the reality
There's nothing left that i can do
Cause my heart is just missing you


Raon, just like most of the people within their family, has sour expression every time a God is mentioned.


However, if they were able to turn back the time when everything is alright...


Then perhaps, he wouldn't mind to be their errand boy for a bit?


That being said, that black dragon also knew that his wish is something that's impossible to fulfill...


Which is why, he never really tried.


I tried everything
Every way I could forget you
Just so I can live my life without you, oh


Nothing is the same
It's hard for me
To erase all of the memories I have with you


It's hard.


Sometimes he just wanted to forget. He wants to be freed from this aching in his heart.


But at the same time he doesn't want to forget.


After all, these bittersweet memories are the very thing that keep him sane throughout this years.


I want you to be here with me
I know it sounds crazy
I miss your laugh and
I miss everything
We used to be


And even if it is just for a while
Then God please give us the time
I can't deal with the reality
There's nothing left that i can do


Cause my heart is just missing you, oh
Just missing you, oh


'I miss you.'


'I miss you guys.'


'I miss you all a lot.'


His raw feelings keep on flowing out through his sorrowful voice.


I want you to be here with me
I know it sounds crazy
I miss your laugh and
I miss everything
We used to be


And even if it is just for a while
Then God please give us the time
I can't deal with the reality
There's nothing left that i can do


I can't deal with the reality
There's nothing left that i can do


Dealing with reality is the worst.


He doesn't want to deal with it.


He wanted be young again when his worries are limited and can be shared...


Cause my heart is just missing you, oh
Cause my heart is just missing you, oh


It's your smile that I miss from you


By the end of his song, a lone clapping could be heard.


It was Choi Han...


Raon chuckled when he turned around.


That swordsmaster was standing on the same fashion Cale used to do on their first ever performance on that father's day...


Although, the big difference between Choi Han and his human back then was the twinning waterfall which just doesn't seem to stop even though the person himself is smiling.


Raon has a matching smile with the Single Lifer.


Unknown to them, Raon's smile was actually quite close to Kim Rok Soo's whenever he's genuinely smiling.


"Heh, it seems like you can't call me Crybaby anymore, Choi Han"


Choi Han snickered as he casually erased the tears on his eyes.


"I never said that about you though?"


Those two black-haired males then said their goodbyes properly with the rest of their memories left behind here.


Of course, they're not forgetting to thanked the manager who bowed deeply after recovering from her own emotional state as well...


"Please visit us some other times, Choi Han-nim, Raon-nim. We are very delighted to be graced with your presences"


They politely smiled.


Neither of them told her that this might be their last time... as in, their very last time to ever visited.


"Will do once there's another change"


Choi Han smiled at the Lady before then they left to their last and final destination.


The grave of their family.


...the place of their own resting.
