“Not even one’s own pain weighs so heavy as the pain one feels with someone for someone, a pain intensified by the imagination and prolonged by a thousand echoes.— MILAN KUNDERA Foreword   A faint ringing sound of a cellphone can be heard from the living room. Every teenage girl from 2010 onwards would have recognized the familiar ringtone in a heartbeat. Dongwoo shuffled hurriedly from the kitchen to the living room, handing the plate to Hoya who was already sitting on the diner table. "Dongwoo hyung. Its been 5 years since Infinite disbanded and youre still using Man in Love as your ringtone?", Hoya shook his head and stuffed his face with the rice and sausage Dongwoo cooked.     "Just trying to get in the mood man. Todays the day.", Dongwoo said before answering the phone. His eyes lit up from hearing the voice on the other end while nodding. "Well see the rest of you tonight." Another set of nodding. "Howon is already awake. Sunggyu hyung, on the other hand is still resting in the guest room." Sunggyu had always stayed at Dongwoos house every now and then. In fact, hes been staying at every members house, mostly Dongwoo and Hoyas shared house. Since his parents went back in their hometown, the members decided to just take Sunggyu under their wings since hes still not fully recovered yet.  "Ill wake him up! Its already noon!" Hoya called out from the kitchen. Hoya always had this annoying habit of budding into peoples conversation. Even before they debuted many years ago. If you ask every member of Infinite what their pet peeve was, theyll say its Hoyas habit of budding into convestations without a doubt. Who wanted to be interrupted while in the middle of a conversation anyways.  It was annoying but thinking about it now, they wouldnt want to change the way Hoya is then and now.  Dongwoo ended the call and headed towards his room. He opened his closet and eyed it up and down. He rose up to his toes as he tried to take something on the top shelf but ended up using a stool. He blew on his bangs and wiped the sweat on his forehead. He brought the thing closer to him and dusted it. It was the duffel bag Woohyun gave him on his birthday.  He remembered bugging everyone to buy him this particular bag but everyone said it didnt suit him. He remembered the day Woohyun told him to help him open the package in their dorm and it turned out to be this bag. He shook his head and smiled as he set the bag on the bed. He placed his clothes neatly inside. Todays the day. Todays the day where Infinite will be re-united because today is a very special day.   Hoya peeped through his door, his eyes automatically resting on the bed. He gave Dongwoo an apologetic look and a smiled—a fake smile, a smile everybody mastered for years. "Ill go to the market first. Just follow me there when youre done." Hoya held up his car keys and waved him goodybe. "Oh and Sunggyu hyungs looking for you. Hes in the bathroom." "Okay! Ill go talk to him. Be careful on the road!" I shouldve packed my things last night. I never listen to Hoya. Dongwoo sighed as he messily shoved his things into the bag. He was supposed to go to the market with Hoya to buy food for the reunion but here he is, still packing his things. "Ill continue this later." Dongwoo whispered to no one in particular as he headed for Sunggyu. "Dongwoo, Ill be going to the coffee shop near here. You know, the one we always go to." Sunggyu mumbled as he brushed his teeth. "Ill go with you hyung." "No need. Arent you supposed to go with Howon? Get your as.s outside.", Sunggyu mustered up a laugh.  "Are you sure? Youre still not fully recovered, you know that right?" Dongwoo said stubbornly and he could tell Sunggyu is starting to get annoyed. Dongwoo held up his hands up, as if hes surrendering. "Just be careful okay? You made a scene the last time you were out." "Yes sir!" Sunggyu laughed and saluted Dongwoo.  Dongwoo seemed uneasy letting Sunggyu go alone. He made a commotion exactly one year ago. Their last reunion was a disaster. Dongwoo, hopping on his car, hoping this years reunion would finally be a reunion theyll never forget. ►Im halfway done with the story. Hows the foreword so far?
