Heechul was not stupid.

He could pretend that he didn't know what was happening and keep faking his smiles and laughs. He could ignore the pitying looks of his friends and pretend that his pillow wasn't wet in the morning or that his eyes weren't sore. He could sing like if he wasn't dying and ignore the coldness of his empty room. He wasn't like that normally, he didn't have any problem in showing how angry or sad he felt but there was always this person that makes him act different.

Hankyung.

It was hard. Heechul had never really felt that hopeless before, he saw how the man he loved started to push him away, how he became cold and distand with thim. When did this happen? How they became like this? He was afraid. He knew what was happening but he just wouldn't admit it. Siwon tried to talk to him about it but Heechul just pretender to be confused, feeling his heart beating fast. He pretended not to notice the sad look he gave him and left the room quickly. 

Heechul tried to talk to Hankyung, he tried to make him open up to him, to tell him what was happening but he just found himself facing a wall, a big and hard wall that had formed around the man, locking him inside himself. It didn't matter how much he tried, how much he cried or coaxed
