When people say that everything has limits, they are not wrong. When people say that everything has consequences, they are not wrong. People and their propagandas are not wrong, but they are also not entirely right with all of their deeds or intentions. If they want peace, they also need to be calmed. If they want respect, they also need to be kind. If they want justice, they also need to treat others fairly. If they want liberty, they also need to be welcoming for the laws.

Lee Donghyuck, a man who believes in wisdom and freedom. A man who doesn’t fear gods, angels or demons. The only fear of his is losing the love of his life, Lee Taeil.

But what happens when Donghyuck realizes that instead of fearing of losing his lover, he should be feared of having his lover by his side?

When people say that everything has limits, they are not wrong. When people say that everything has consequences, they are not wrong. People and their propagandas are not wrong, but they are also not entirely right with all of their deeds or intentions. If they want peace, they also need to be calmed. If they want respect, they also need to be kind. If they want justice, they also need to treat others fairly. If they want liberty, they also need to be welcoming for the laws.

“If you are strong enough to compete then you also need to be strong enough to face the defeat.”

“So those so called liberals shoved their so called agendas in your mind too huh?”

“Nobody did anything, Donghyuck. And what you mean by liberal and agendas? They are our companions and yes, they may be your competitors in certain fields but does that really matter? Aren’t you all aiming at the same thing which is development? You win sometimes and you lose sometimes. But what matters is that you develop every time.”

The said man scoffs at the explanation while tightening his grip on the steering wheel. “You are just saying these things because you clearly couldn’t see the mockery in their behavior. Besides, everyone else is right for you but me.”

“Or, maybe it’s your high pride, your unhealthy ego that the politest things seem a mock to you if they are different than your preference.”

“Free advocacy is washing your brain, Taeil.” Donghyuck mutters as he slowly slips a filled bottle from his driver’s cage and starts sipping on it, ignoring the other’s lecture.

Taeil chuckles humorlessly at the younger male’s words. “No. It is paid. It pays me with kindness, humbleness and happiness. It pays me with the lessons which help me to be a human.”

Now it was the Donghyuck’s turn to laugh humorlessly. “You know Taeil, you are too dense. Anyone can easily make a fool of you and take advantage of you. You care about people, care about things which are just causes of your loss. And you do it as if it’s a necessity.”

The latter could feel tears welling in his eyes as he responds, “It’s not a necessity, Hyuck. It’s humanity. It’s you, who thinks that everyone is against you and wants bad for you. You have to understand babe, everything can’t be in the ways we desire. Some things are just meant to happen and some things are supposed to be followed.”

“You really think that humanity exists?” Donghyuck laughs with zero emotion. “The world is so, so bad Taeil. The world is so cruel and it will never change.” He finishes as he takes another sip. Taeil just kept his head low as to keep his teary eyes hidden.

“It will. It just needs a beginning.” The other starts as he lifts his head to face the other man. “We can be the beginning.” Taeil finishes and looks at Donghyuck to see his reaction but his eyes notices something else. “Hyuck, what is that?”

“Just my painkiller.” Donghyuck says nonchalantly while his hands start trembling on the wheel.

“Hyuck, you’re drinking.”

“I know, what about it?”

“You’re drinking while driving!” Taeil exclaims and the latter just kept going.

“First those bugs make me sick and then my husband also thinks that I’m wrong.” The latter says while banging on the wheel in rage.

Taeil panics at his partner’s action. “Hyuck, please stop.”

“Don’t tell me what to do Taeil!” Donghyuck hits again but his time his hit was light as he was losing his hold, as well as his consciousness. “I know what is right and wrong.” He hiccups and his vision started getting blurry. “I know… I... I-”

“Donghyuck, watch out!”

“Ahh…”

“Just a little more Mr. Lee. And we are done. The injuries on your arms will heal within a week and bleeding by the head is really not that deep. Just keep changing the patch on time. You are really lucky that despite having a critical accident you just got some stinging wounds. Almighty must have a plan for you.”

The man chuckles softly at the woman as he says, “I just hope that your almighty will have some plans for my husband as well.”

“Almighty is not only mine, Mr. Lee, everyone is equal for them. And… I really can’t say anything for your husband for now, but we can sure hope for the good.”

The man shakes his head in as he felt a pang in his chest. “No matter how much we run, life always puts consequences in between huh...” He mumbles. “Anyways, thank you sister. Just hope the doc will come soon.” The nurse nodded at him and leaves as he waits for the doctor.

Not after so long, the doctor appeared. “Lee Taeil’s allies?”

“Yes doctor. I’m Donghyuck, his husband.”

“Hmm… How are you feeling now, you also got injuries I see.”

“Yeah but I’m fine now. Any update on Taeil?”

The doctor lowers his head a little as a regretful expression came on his face. Donghyuck could feel his soul leaving his body just by seeing that sight.

“I’m really sorry Mr. Lee but, your husband is no more.
