The sun is much hotter than he thought it would be.
It makes Yoochun realize that he’s been away for a long time. He’s caught on a threshold, staring at the outside, wary of it, but not wanting to go back. Never back.

Junsu smiles at him from the side, the others flanking him, and Yoochun finally smiles- back at them, not at anything back or outside but them- and takes their offered hands.
He looks back as they walk away from the rehab center. He’s ready for something better.
