Chapter 14 : Let go... again (1/2)

Foul

Jeonghan opens his eyes weakly. He felt the pain all over his body as he tries to stand up. He got a hard time making a step and at the same time his heart is unease meeting him.

"I don't want to see him" His heart shouts while a tear escapes traveling to his swollen face and abused lips. He just wants to get out of there as quickly as possible. While reaching the door knob, His hands trembles while slowly opening it. He sighs heavily before taking a hard step out of the room.

He was glad the latter was nowhere to be seen. He soon gets out of the condo and just when he closes the door, He notices someone in front of him

"Hyung?" Taehyung confusingly asked as he observes the man in front of his hyung's door. As the other lifts up his face, his eyes widely open as he sees bruises all over his lips and neck

"What happened hyung?!" He quickly moves towards him and doesn't know what to do. When he tries to hold on his shoulder but Jeonghan whines because of pain "What happened to you?! Have you been in an accident?! Does Jisoo hyung know about this?!"

Jeonghan just looks at him as tears keep rolling on his cheeks. He tries to open his mouth but he doesn't have the strength to do so

"I bet Jisoo hyung is not home. We need to call him!" Just when Taehyung was about to dial Jisoo's number, Jeonghan quickly holds his hands and strongly grip on his wrists. He was shocked on the sudden action but he was even more confused seeing fear on Jeonghan's eyes.

"P-please don't" Jeonghan's words became a whisper that made Taehyung shivers

"Hyung what's wrong?" He said back while trying to support Jeonghan's body as he observes how weak his hyung is in front of him

"Take me away here please... I'm begging you" Jeonghan grips at his hold even more. Taehyung nods unconsciously. He removes his coat quickly and puts it around the pretty boy "Let's go"

Jihoon open his eyes slowly as he gets up to stretch his arms. He gets his slippers and ready to go to make breakfast after looking at his fiancé's sleeping figure. He half sleepily went to the kitchen and starts preparing his morning routine when someone rings their doorbell. He raises his eyebrows as he thought no one would ever come to anyone's house with this kind of hour. He was quite annoyed when the bell rings numerous times after the one bell "Just a second!"

He washes his face and prepared to get the door grumpily. Just when he opened it, he was quite surprised seeing who is his visitor

"Oh Taehyung, how did you know I- I mean we lived here?" Jihoon asked while rolling his eyes inside as he felt dump shuttering with the thought that he don't live alone anymore and Seungcheol decided to move together with him

"I... I think something happened with Jeonghan hyung" Taehyung said with a concern tone in his voice

Jihoon widely opens his eyes as the thought of the pretty boy came "What happened to him? Where is he? Is it something serious?"

Taehyung nervously scratches the back of his head as he doesn't know how to say it "I don't really know what happened to him. I just walk passed by Jisoo hyung's condo and saw him there standing weakly. I tried to asked him but he only wants to get out of there and-

"W-where is he?" Jihoon asked while he felt something was wrong

Taehyung immediately complied and runs to his car. He carefully lifts Jeonghan who fell asleep on the road while getting out of the car. Once Jihoon got a view of the pretty boy, he can't help but run towards them in panic

"What happened to him?! Did he get to an accident?! We should bring him to the hospital!" Jihoon nervously asked while looking at him with full of concerns lingering around his face

"I insisted but he doesn't want to. He wants to be dropped by at your house" Taehyung asked with an equal concern

"Oh my" Jihoon escapes a tear while he traces the bruises on his face up to his neck

"I realized he had a fever when I held his forehead a while ago" Taehyung added "And I- ah... I think he also had bruises on his shoulders. He whimpers when I hold him there a while ago"
 
Jihoon thoughts were all scrambled of what a mess his friend is. He sighs heavily to help him think of what to do

"Let's get him inside" He stated while he assisted Taehyung inside his house. Taehyung carefully puts Jeonghan on the couch. Jihoon quickly went to get some blanket and spread it first to the pretty boy. He bends his knees slowly to take a good look of the pretty boy. He flinched a little when Jeonghan whimpers a little but still eyes closed. Just when he realizes the latter was still asleep, he sighs heavily and walks on the direction of the other boy on the room.

"Thank you for bringing Jeonghan here Taehyung-ah. I really appreciated it" Jihoon stated his gratitude

Taehyung nods while the concern of his eyes is still in there "If it's okay, can I know if he gets better after he wakes up?"

Jihoon smiled while patting the latter's shoulder "I will"

"Thank you. I'll go for now hyung" He bows 90 degrees while walking away

Jihoon closes his door when the other left. He quickly went to the living room and stares at Jeonghan across the couch. He doesn't know what to think but he knows something happened bad. He sits down while placing his arms between his knees while still looking at him. He wanted to know what happened. Every second passed by tortured him by seeing his friend all so messed up not in tears but bruises all over his body. He just hopes Jeonghan could wake up now and just tell him what happened for he was boiling to frustration. He was becoming uneasy and he just wanted to get rid of it.

All of the sudden, Jeonghan slowly opens his eyes that made Jihoon quickly stands up and walks towards him.

"J-Jihoon?" Jeonghan barely whispers while looking at him weakly. He wanted to stand up but Jihoon can see he was struggling to. Jihoon assisted him and carefully lays his back on the couch "T-thanks"

"Jeonghan... what happened to you?" Jihoon slowly asked. He wanted to shout at him to what happened but he can see weak eyes from his friend that tells him something serious happened

"Why don't you come to the hospital first before here? We can check you out once you're there. You have bruises all over your body. This is something serious Jeonghan" He tries to scold but controls his voice

But Jeonghan only looks at him with tears starting to form around his eyes. His thoughts became blank and doesn't know what to say or the reason why he wanted to be here instead of taking care of himself. He tries to stop himself from crying but he can't control his heart. He cries in silent but still lock his gaze. A few words he can only say but he knows those words can save him

"I wanted to leave... here" He whispers but very clear to Jihoon

Jihoon doesn't know what his friend is saying. He just looks at him with not an amused expression "What are you saying?"

Jeonghan breaks the eye contact and stares at the floor. Jihoon closes his eyes in frustration "That's it. I'm taking you to the hospital. I can't deal with your stubbornness anymore. I'm trying but it seems like I can't this time as you are hurting yourself not emotionally but physically! Do you think this is still reasonable Jeonghan?"

Jeongan just remains silent that made Jihoon rolled his eyes. He stands up and was about to walk across the living room to reach out the phone but Jeonghan weakly hold his wrist

"What now? Are you stopping me for bringing you to the hospital? Are you still a kid being afraid to be brought there by your mother? Stop this nonsense Jeonghan! If this physical action you did there to your body has something to do with Jisoo then swear to everyone, you are sick" Jihoon knows how hurtful his words came out but he can't stop it. Maybe he needed to be like this for Jeonghan to come back to his senses. He became kind for the past months, days to him. He blames himself for spoiling him with that and he needs to fix it.

Jeonghan can't help but cry. He wanted to say something but he can't that make his grip even more tighter

"You're crying again" Jihoon whispers while looking away. He can't stand on looking at him crying like that. But he stayed firm.

"Why are you wasting your time crying like that? You have been crying every time things don't work out that way you wanted it to be. Jeonghan you don't owe everything! Don't act like the whole world are against you! Especially if you are dumb to realize that you are crying for nothing! If you are still crying because of Jisoo, don't you think you are now obsessed with him? He can't give you what you want and that makes you think he was cheating on you and doesn't love you anymore? seriously Jeonghan? Now I totally understand why Jisoo left you" Jihoon was shocked he said that and made him turn to see Jeonghan.

Jeonghan opens his eyes widely and slowly let go of his grip to him

"J-Jeonghan I-I did not mean that wa-" He was about to say something when Jeonghan shuts him down

"Maybe you're right Jihoon. I-I'm sorry. I didn't know I had become a burden to you and to everyone. I'm really sorry" Jeonghan tries to restrain himself from crying but can't. Every tear that drops, he quickly wipes it.

Those words hit Jihoon really hard "N-no Jeonghan. I didn't mean that. I'm sorry"

He tries to hold Jeonghan's hands but the latter quickly resists "No. This is all my fault. I put you guys in my problem and here I am seeking for help yet I didn't know I've been relying on you guys too much. Maybe I shouldn't come back here. I caused too much problem for the past 3 years that is why I left. I shouldn't be here. Maybe you're right. I don't deserve you. You, Seungcheol and Jisoo. It's clear now to me. Thank you"

Jeonghan said weakly but firm straight from his heart. Jihoon unconsciously lets out tears thinking the latter took his words in a wrong way

"Thank you for being honest Jihoon. That is all I ever wanted and you gave it to me"

Jeonghan smiles while tears are breaking the form of his lips. After wiping his tears weakly, he stands up with all his might removing the blanket Jihoon puts around his body. Jihoon was confused and was about to help him but Jeonghan waves his hands away from him

"Stop helping me. I don't want to be a burden anymore." Jeonghan said seriously and weakly walks away from Jihoon

Jihoon can't believe he crossed the line. He quickly blocks Jeonghan's way and holds him in his shoulder "Jeonghan I'm sorry"

"You don't have to. In this way, you are making me even more stubborn. Just... please... let me go" Jeonghan barely said as he was feeling something strange and dizzy

Jihoon raises his eyebrow as he can see Jeonghan's eyes are slowly closing while his body is barely standing. His grip only allows him to still support his body

"J-Jeonghan is something wrong?!" He worriedly asked

Jeonghan just continues to breathe faster and cannot see clearly the man in front of him.

"Jihoon~ you wake up so early~ Good Morning" Seungcheol greeted while his eyes are still half closed and going down the stairs. When he reached the floor, His eyes are widely open greeted with a man whose back is facing him and Jihoon which appears to be in front of the visitor

"Oh? we have a visitor?" He confusingly asked

"We didn't expect someone to arrive-" Seungcheol cut his words when he walks towards them and see the side view of the man

"Jeonghan?" He said shockingly while observing the state of the pretty boy "W-what happened to him?!"

"I-I-" Just when Jihoon was about to say something, Jeonghan fell unconsciously. Seungcheol was fast to catch him as both laid on the floor while Jihoon was left shocked and freeze from his position.



"Jeonghan?! Jeonghan wake up!" Seungcheol tries to regain his sense but when he holds his forehead, he was burning hot. He quickly finds his pulse and was even nervous feeling the pretty boy's pulse weak and can barely be felt.

"Jihoon get the car NOW!" He shouts. Jihoon quickly obeys while he stands up and holding Jeonghan in bridal style. He runs out of the house to meet Jihoon as both rush Jeonghan to the hospital.



----------



Jisoo reached his condo and brought some foods along. From the time, he woke up early in the morning, he recalled what happened between him and Jeonghan that night. He hopes it was all a dream but it is not when he checked Jeonghan laying weak on his bed. He can't believe all the bruises was made by him. He hurt him. He doesn't want that but it happened. Maybe he was completely drunk but that is not an excuse. He will never forgive himself to what he had done. When he entered, he quickly went to look at the pretty boy but he was shocked when he was nowhere to be found. He was nervous. He was about to go out and look for him when his phone suddenly rings. He quickly picks it up while rushing to get out of the condo.

*picks up*

Jisoo : Can you later? I'm in hurry.


Just when he was about to hang up, the other line quickly responded

Seungcheol : Jisoo!

Jisoo : S-Seungcheol? Can we talk later? I'm looking for Jeonghan-

Seungcheol : Jeonghan is in the hospital'


Jisoo stops walking in a rush as his world stops

Jisoo : w-wha-

Seungcheol : I'll message you the hospital and come here quickly!

*end*


Jisoo was frozen in his spot. He doesn't know how to move and his heart was beating faster

"What have I done..."

His thought keeps on torturing him again. Just when he receives the message, he brushes away his thoughts and quickly went to the address Seungcheol gave.



----------



Jihoon and Seungcheol walks back and front from the Emergency Room and can feel the intense atmosphere between them. Seungcheol stops to stare intensively on Jihoon that made the latter look at him

"What is it?" He asked

"What... what happened to Jeonghan?" He asked back. As he recalls the moment he woke up and saw Jeonghan and Jihoon, he knows the two talked before he came to them that time.

"You saw it. He fainted" Jihoon answered in a naturally way but Seungcheol was not satisfied

"You know what I'm talking about Jihoon" He seriously said

Jihoon just sighs "Taehyung brought him at our house by his request. He had bruises around his body. I don't know what happened to him"

Seungcheol just closes his eyes. It can see all over his face how worried he is for the pretty boy "What is happening to him?"

Right then, he remembers something "Jihoon, he called last night seeking for help right? And I'm sure Jisoo went to him that time"

Jihoon thinks of it as well "Maybe Jisoo knows something"

Not a minute after, The doctor went out of the room. Seungcheol and Jihoon quickly responds and walks towards to the doctor

"Sir is he alright?" Jihoon worriedly asked

"Are you the relatives of the patient?" The doctor formally asked

"We are his friends. His parents are in abroad" Seungcheol answered

The doctor just nods and proceeds to discuss Jeonghan's condition "The patient just have a high fever that results from his unconsciousness. It was severe this morning that made his whole-body system weakens. I believe he already got the sickness from the past days and it just got worse. Good thing you brought him here in no time. We just examined him to regain his consciousness and gave a few shots. We also shot him some pain reliever. We will now transfer him in a private room and by tomorrow, he can be discharged"

Both sigh in relief. Just when the doctor bowed to take his leave, Seungcheol stops him "A-ah sir, I just wanted to ask, why would you shot him some pain relievers?"

The doctor looks back "He had bruises from his lips until his back. The bruises are not a symptom from his fever. As I look at it, it clearly shows that he got it from physical action. It is quite new since there is still few blood around it. To put it in words, I think he was beaten up"

"beaten up?" Jihoon grasps "What do you mean?"

"It was just my assumption" The doctor honestly answered

"Oh okay. Thank you" Jihoon politely said while bowing 90 degrees as the doctor left them in shock.

Seungcheol can't find his words to what he had heard. What if the latter really got beaten up on the streets? The bruises might not be accidentally there.

"Do you think it's true?" Seungcheol looks at Jihoon

"I... I honestly don't know" Jihoon sighs "But good thing is he is fine. That what matters right now"

Seungcheol can't help but think of if Jisoo knows about this or he knows what happened.



----------


Jisoo rushed to get inside the hospital. He quickly went to the information to look for Jeonghan's name. Luckily, It was already inputted and runs to the stairs and did not notice there is an elevator because of extreme feeling of being worried.

Just when he reached the floor tiredly, His footsteps become heavy as he approached Jeonghan's room. His hands start to tremble and just when he opens it, A tear escapes from his eyes while seeing the pretty boy laying on a bed with bruises all over his face. He just wanted to torture himself to what he had done but he wanted to make sure Jeonghan was alright even though he can clearly see he wasn't.

Seungcheol and Jihoon quickly looks at the man in front of the door and signals him to come in.

"Hey Jisoo" Jihoon greeted with no expression

"What happened?" He asked straight to the point

"He... he fainted awhile ago when he went to our house" Jihoon tries not be nervous answering it as he knows, he did something he regretted saying

"H-he went to your house?" Jisoo asked again to confirm. Jihoon just nods

"The doctor said he was fine. He can be discharge tomorrow"

"Do you know?" Seungcheol asked out of nowhere while still looking at Jeonghan with his hand holding the pretty boy's hand

"w-what?" Jisoo wanted to confirm on what Seungcheol had said

"Do you know what happened to him? The bruises... are you with him last night? I called you to fetch him in his office right?" Seungcheol seriously spoken without looking at Jisoo

"I-I-" Jisoo doesn't know what to say. He was battling if he will say the truth and reason out or say nothing at all. He knows either way it is still his fault.

Just when Seungcheol was about to turn because Jisoo was not answering him, he felt the hand he was holding suddenly moves. He quickly stares at Jeonghan and sees his eyes are starting to open

"Jeonghan?" Seungcheol worriedly whispers and sat up from his seat

Jihoon and Jisoo becomes alarm and get near the bed. Jihoon quickly holds Jeonghan's other hand and closes it with his "Jeonghan"

When Jeonghan opens his eyes, his vision was not yet clear. He can hear people saying his name but after a minute, He can now clearly see the people around him. A tear suddenly flows right away. The man standing in front of him is the man he wanted to see everyday but now, he doesn't felt that way anymore. He looks away from them and weakly trying to get away from the grip on his hands.

Jisoo closes his eyes as what happened last night slowly haunting him again. A tear suddenly flows while he knows what he did is unacceptable. There is no way the pretty boy will forgive him that made his heart beats weaker. He left the room as soon as possible and cries in silent on the wall.


Seungcheol was confuse on what he saw. Both called Jisoo's name but both of them focuses first on Jeonghan. He quickly wipes the tears on the corner of his eyes "Hey pretty what's wrong?"

But Jeonghan doesn't dare to answer. He still trying to put their hands away from him a little stronger that made both the couple notices the action. Jihoon slowly lets go of it as he knows why Jeonghan is being like that. He hides his tears as it breaks his heart recalling the hurtful words he had said to him

Seungcheol, on the other hand, did not let go and was even more confuse as time passes by "What's wrong Jeonghan? Look at me"

Jeonghan did the opposite. He doesn't look back and just lets his tears flow on the pillow.

"Jeonghan..." He felt a heartache when the latter was ignoring him. He looks on Jihoon whose back are in front of him

"What's happening?" He seriously asked. There is slight an anger tone as he felt like there is something happened without him knowing.

Just when Jihoon turns his head, Jeonghan said one word that made them both left off guard

"Leave"

Seungcheol looks at him again "What are you saying?"

"Leave... Leave me alone" Jeonghan repeated while still looking away

Jihoon lets a tear flows and understand the meaning of it.

"Jeonghan" Seungcheol whispers but Jeonghan said another firmed words that made him even more confuse to the extent

"I don't want to see you guys" He whispers and successfully let go of Seungcheol hand on his

Seungcheol was about to say something but Jihoon quickly holds his shoulders signaling him that they need to give him some private time to rest. He was about to protest but he sighs and eyed Jihoon that he needs an explanation. Jihoon understands the stare and sighs deeply

"We... we will just be outside pretty boy" Seungcheol said while trying to kiss his forehead but Jeonghan refuses.

Seungcheol closes his eyes and just spreads the blanket on Jeonghan's shoulder "We will be right back"


As soon as they left the room, both of them look on Jisoo who is sitting on the floor staring straight.

Seungcheol focuses on Jihoon as he knows the latter knew something.

"What was that Jihoon?" He seriously asked

Jihoon doesn't know how will he put it in words and looks away for a minute. Seungcheol closes his eyes. He then looks at Jisoo and asked the same thing but an anger slightly rushes on his blood as both are ignoring to answer his question

"Why are you not answering me?! Are you guys that guilty enough that you can't answer me right away and just freaking look away?!" He bursts his anger as he can't keep calm anymore.

Jisoo wipes the tears before standing up and was about to leave when Seungcheol take a grip on his arm "And where are you going?"

Jisoo just looks at him and hardly takes away his grip. He runs away from them as he can't stand seeing Jeonghan hurt because of him anymore. He screwed up. He did screw up.

Seungcheol was about to follow him but Jihoon stops him for him to not make a scene. He knows Seungcheol is now angry and even more when Jisoo just left like that.

Seungcheol quickly lets go of Jihoon's hands to face him "You know something right?! Then why are you not telling me?!"

Jihoon bites his lips as he knows he did something wrong.

"Jihoon speak up!" Seungcheol literally shouts that made his tears fall

"I-I" Jihoon doesn't know how will he start his words as he was now scared on Seungcheol's glare.

"T-This morning, w-we had an argument. I-I lost my temper with the thought that he might hurt himself because of Jisoo as Taehyung found him like that in front his condo. I... I didn't mean the words I said" He tries not to let his tears fall

Seungcheol just looks at him firmly "What did you say?"

Jihoon just closes his eyes and looks away. Seungcheol sighs heavily and stares at Jeonghan's room "You couldn't say it because you know you hurt him. I get it"

Jihoon was about to hold Seungcheol but the latter refuses. He walks away. Jihoon knows he screwed up. He knows how important Jeonghan is to him. How he still loves the latter that made his heart shutters once again.


----------


He quickly found Seungcheol sitting at a park bench nearby the hospital. He silently sits with a little distance away from him.

He doesn't know what to say to break the silence. They were like that for an hour and half minutes but he takes a deep breath and looks at him "Seungcheol I... I'm sorry. I know I did wrong and I didn't mean all of what I said to him. I only said that because I care of him. I love him as much as you do"

"Do you?" Seungcheol said without looking back. Jihoon felt a stab on his heart as he didn't expect that kind of respond.

"Seungcheol..." He whispers while tears are starting to form on the corner of his eyes

Seungcheol doesn't dare to look at him. He wipes the tears all over his cheeks before standing up "We should go back. He is alone there"

Jihoon saw Seungcheol walking away from him. He can't help but restrain his tears from falling and quickly follows him.

As they have reached his room, both are shocked seeing nurses tidying up the room. Seungcheol confusingly went to them and asked where is the patient that was charged here. The nurse politely answered that the patient had already been discharged

"What? The doctor said he can only be discharged tomorrow" Seungcheol firmly answered

"Yes but the patient sincerely wanted to go out and there's a guardian who guided the patient in discharging. The doctor approved and just prescribe some medicines to take for his recovery" The nurse politely asked

Both Seungcheol and Jihoon were confused. Jihoon quickly contacted Jisoo but the latter doesn't pick up.

"Did Jisoo fetched him?" Seungcheol asked

"He don't answer my call" Jihoon states

Seungcheol closes his eyes and quickly runs on the room to see if Jeonghan is still in there. He quickly went out and asked the discharging process and found out he was discharged 30 minutes ago. Jihoon follows and heard the same thing.

"What's the name of the guardian who discharged Mr. Yoon?" Seungcheol asked

"Wait for a minute sir" The personnel bowed and find the paper discharging process. After a minute, she faces Seungcheol "The name is Mr. Lee Minhyuk"

Both widen up their eyes and look at each other.



----------



"Are you alright?" Minhyuk questioned while driving his car with Jeonghan on the backseat

"Yeah. Thanks" Jeonghan plainly answered while looking at the window.

"I'm glad you called me. I was worried last night if something happened to you" Minhyuk said with a concern voice

"It's okay. I'm good" Jeonghan doesn't dare to look

"Are you sure? You know I can see the bruises all over your lips and neck" Minhyuk slightly said with a sarcastic tone as he hardly gripped on the steering wheels. He can't get the fact that the latter was hurt. He was not dumb to realize it came to Jisoo.

Jeonghan just stayed quiet for a long time before opening his mouth "You can drop me in my house"

"No. What if he goes to you and hurt you again?" Minhyuk firmly stated

Jeonghan chooses not to answer.

"You will stay on my penthouse for a while if it's okay" He offered

"I want to go home" He said without looking at Minhyuk

"Jeonghan, don't you hear me a while ago-"

"No. I want to go back to Japan. That is where I belong" This time, Minhyuk stops the car to look back at Jeonghan. Jeonghan for the first time looks back with a pleading eyes

"Please... I want to go home" A tear falls and Minhyuk knows he is sincere.

He just nods and starts to drive again his car with a smirk on his lips. As much as he was pissed and wanted to punch the man who gave bruises to the pretty boy, he was satisfied he can finally take Jeonghan away from here.



----------


After a few days, Seungcheol doesn't stop contacting Jeonghan. He even went to his house from time to time to see if he got home. He went to the company to ask if both of them went to the office but he was greeted by the answer no. Since the day he was at the hospital, He doesn't go to work same as Mr. Lee who discharged him. He was worried if something happened to him. Upon waking up this morning, he gets ready to start his routine in finding Jeonghan. When he was about to get out from their house, Jihoon appeared in front of him

"Where are you going?" Jihoon asked worriedly

"Still finding Jeonghan" Seungcheol plainly answered and was about to shove Jihoon away from the door when Jihoon strongly doesn't let go

"I'm going with you" He firmly said but Seungcheol just gave him an unproved look

"Don't look at me like I don't do something to find him. I find him like a crazy man just like you. I'm worried as hell to him and I'm guilty to whatever happens to him. Please Seungcheol, just trust me" Jihoon pleaded but his heart breaks even more when the latter just nods and walk away. He quickly wipes the tears and don't mind his heart. He needed to find Jeonghan first and follows Seungcheol on his car.

As their reached Jeonghan's company, Both of them are shocked as the building is now closing. Seungcheol hurriedly went to a personnel who is in charge in the building

"What is happening here?" He confusingly asked

"Oh you again. Ah the building is ordered to shut down" He politely answered

"Why?" Jihoon asked right away

"The owners ordered to do so since the business of this building will resume its operation in Japan" The personnel said back

"Why it will move in Japan?"

"Because the owners are going back to Japan"

Those words shut the two down

"Do you mean... Jeong- I mean Mr. Yoon Jeonghan is going back to Japan?" Jihoon clears out once again

"Yes together with Mr. Lee Minhyuk"

Seungcheol cannot believe on what he had heard "Are they already there?"

The personnel looks at his watch "Not yet I think sir. Their private plane is set to leave in an hour at _____ airport"

Seungcheol and Jihoon look at each other and know what to do. They both run out of the building and drive as fast as they could

"This is not happening!" Seungcheol growls as they are stuck in traffic

"Jeonghan... not again"

Jihoon thought. As both of them know they are still far from the airport, Jihoon contacted Jisoo right away.

"Jisoo pick up please pick up"



---------



Jisoo was broken. He still can't understand why he did that. As much as he wanted to see Jeonghan, he knows he hates him as much as he hates himself. The feeling was torturing him every second passed by since the night he did that. He blamed himself for losing temper. Now the pretty boy is moving away from him, farther away from him even more.

As the last can of beer was open, he receives a phone call. He doesn't care to answer as long as it's not Jeonghan. But then it was ringing several times it gets on his nerves. He finally answered and was about to hung up the moment he picks it up

*picks up*

Jisoo : Why are you calling-!

Jihoon : Jisoo Jeonghan is leaving!


Jisoo was about to drop the phone. He knows he doesn't heard it wrong even though he was completely drunk

Jisoo : What are you saying-

Jihoon : DON'T YOU HEARD ME?! JEONGHAN IS LEAVING TODAY TO GO BACK TO JAPAN! STOP SOBERING AND GET YOUR FEET TO MOVE TO STOP HIM IF YOU STILL CARE!


He just closes his eyes and let his tears fall

Jisoo : He doesn't want to see me anymore after what I've done. I deserve this.

Jihoon : NEITHER DO US! BUT WE CAN'T LET HIM GO AGAIN! IF YOU DON'T LOVE HIM ANYMORE JUST
DO THIS FAVOR FOR US AND STOP HIM FROM LEAVIN-

Jisoo : I still

Jihoon : WHAT?!

Jisoo : I still love him Jihoon but I messed up

Jihoon : ARGH JISOO PLEASE GO BACK TO YOUR SENSES! PLEASE!

Jisoo : He will not stay If I'm the one who showed up there stopping him from leaving.

Jihoon : Jisoo please I'm begging you, stop him. Think of all the things we did 3 years ago. We can't just forget all that happens to bring him back. We did it because we wanted him to stay. I don't want to repeat the same thing again. I can't. We can't now.

Jisoo suddenly recalls all of what they have done. All the hard works they have committed just to find Jeonghan. The memories and feelings slowly coming back.

Jihoon : we can't lose him again please.

*end*


Jisoo quickly hung up and get out from his condo. He doesn't bother whether he was dizzy. There is one thing he needed to do before it was too late. He drove his car as fast as he could and reached the airport. He can't helped but let his tears fall as the memory hits him back. He is running same as the past. Being crazy finding him. He was haunted by a memory when he reached the waiting area Jeonghan was already gone. His legs are starting to get weak but he still runs. He went to the waiting area with several heavy beats from his heart.


Minhyuk asked Jeonghan once again if he is sure. Jeonghan just gave him a nod and signaling him he doesn't regret anything.

Just then, the stewardess came to them and bowed 90 degrees "Your private plane will leave in 15 minutes"

"Okay thank you" Minhyuk said and signals his bodyguards to take all of their things in the plane.

He then faces the pretty boy patting his back "We should go now"

Jeonghan remembers the memory he had 3 years ago. The memory of him leaving without a word. A tear escapes from his eyes and looks at the latter

"You go first. I'll be right there"

Minhyuk just nods and understand.

Jeonghan sighs deeply one last time before opening his phone which he shuts down from the past days.

As he opens it, he was not shocked when he received several messages from Seungcheol and Jihoon. His heart suddenly aches receiving none from the man he expected to apologize to him on what happened. His heart are slowly breaking with a thought maybe the latter was not sorry and just wanted to do it to him. He cries again silently as he was continually wipes his tears but he knows it was no use on wiping it.

Just then, he receives a phone call from Seungcheol. He thinks for a minute whether he will answer it or not but again, he doesn't want to leave without a word

*picks up*

Seungcheol : OH THANK GOD YOU ANSWERED! Are you still in the airport?!

Jeonghan : Seungcheol...

Seungcheol : Jeonghan stay there! We are near there!


Jeonghan : Don't

Seungcheol : what?! what do you mean?!

Jeonghan : Don't... Don't come here. I'm leaving

Seungcheol : STOP THIS JEONGHAN YOU ARE NOT LEAVING

Jeonghan : Yes I am

Seungcheol : WHY?


Jeonghan : I... I don't belong here anymore

Seungcheol : WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!

Jeonghan : I know I sounded stubborn but... I can't handle myself being a burden to you guys

Seungcheol : YOU NEVER WERE A BURDEN TO US-

Jeonghan : Stop Seungcheol. Stop pretending that I am not even if I am. I hate myself that I always depend on you guys that my happiness are always with you.

Seungcheol : DON'T YOU CARE-

Jeonghan : I care that is why I'm leaving. I care about you and Jihoon. You guys are looking after me where in fact you should look after yourselves

Seungcheol : then what about Jisoo-

Jeonghan : He doesn't love me anymore and I'm leaving to accept that

Seungcheol : wha-

Jeonghan : Living without me will make your lives even more fine.

Seungcheol : I can't. I can't let you go!

Jeonghan : yes you can

Seungcheol : Jeong-

*end*



Jeonghan breaks down into tears as he knows he can't live without them either but leaving them will make their lives even easier just like 3 years ago. He sighs deeply one last time before standing up.

As he first take his walk, he closes his eyes as if his heart is stopping him from walking. He restrained whats stopping him and continued walking. When he heard someone was calling his name from a distance, he was about to take a glance when Minhyuk blocked his vision.

"H-Hey, what took you so long?" He tries to smile to hide something

"A-Ah, I thought someone called my name" Jeonghan said while trying to see the entrance in the waiting area

"Hmmm?" Minhyuk pretendedly hums

When he moves away from the latter to see it clearly, he was quite disappointed seeing only guards from the area.

He sighs deeply "Nevermind"

He takes one last time to glance before going inside.

Minhyuk sighs successfully as his plan worked for last minute. He quickly messages Shownu

To : Shownu


He is on the board. You can now unblocked the way.
