Drown

Value of Love

A long vast crystal clear four-sided athletic sea drown their eyes. Their feet were accompanied by stones, smoothen by weather, pathway made their walk a lot easy. Heart-shaped eyes were bubbling looking around 360 degree to soaked the superb landscape partnered by fine architectural build of the resort resembling so much more of the nature furnished by its well-decorated interior.

They parted their ways to go their respective rooms. Wonshik and Sanghyuk shares a room with two separated bedrooms while Jaehwan and Hongbin were coupled up in a single king's bed. Taekwoon chose to stay up in a small cozy breezy room hanged high in a tree with a single bed to mention. The vocalist then realized the upcoming potential event if the leader will really follow them here. If Hakyeon follows, where will he stay? ‘He cannot stay here...this room can only accommodate a single person.’ Taekwoon thought. Anyway, Hakyeon is still upset on us so more likely he'll not follow, or if he does, he'll choose a room for him alone, he guessed.

Taekwoon is wearing a round neck sleeve-cut long shirt, with alternating blue and white stripes, fallen right under his behind but the front is tuck in along the breeches giving an open scene to his white short's fly with a handful of horizontal slit lines on his left thigh, finished by a white shoe and a blue bandana tied at his right elbow.

Jaehwan is wearing a bright golden yellow sando with an inch bigger sized white sando under his upper garment paired with a denim short folded high up a hand span above his knee. White shoes, white normal socks to prettied his yellow clothe-wrist band on his left and beach bracelets on his right.

Hongbin is wearing same almost like Jaehwan but the color of mildness blue gave an exaggerating boldness to his fair skin glowing white snow under the sun. Blue sando, blue shoes, blue wrist band, blue beach bracelets and a darker shade of blue denim short folded as high as Jaehwan's short. The only difference, Hongbin is not wearing a white under-sando in his blue one and is not wearing socks too.

Wonshik is the only one wearing a denim pants with a small hole under his right knee and an overwhelming openness on the other knee, cannot be patched anymore, siblinged by a small elipse-shaped hole above the vast openness exposing some skin of his left thigh. Ear-bunny laced white shoes no socks, beautied by a white closed neck tucked in shirt with a much more seized sleeve cut hole almost exposing his side chest.

Sanghyuk is wearing a closed neck long sleeveless shirt enough to fully clothe the lines of his either shoulders with a half-inch excess on the brim of the sleeve hole, enough to hide some black strands. The shirt falls above his dark raging blue denim shorts, not folded with some stretched holes lured out the fine white fiber strips of the garment, enough to cover quarters of the breeches. Accessoried by some blue bracelets and rings and white rubber shoes.

Biceps exposed, legs almost exposed, the five of them directed theirselves to the food island to have their first right meal for the day since they only had salads this morning. Enjoying the natural flavors of the dishes, the freshness in every bite, exploding rainbow colored heaven taste in every bit of their buds, the five of them dig in to their fill.

After eating, time to lose some remaining baby fats if they still had, they make way to the pool. Without further ado, the four of them dive in. Sanghyuk remained standing and take a picture of the place, a selca alone, and another selca turned to groupie with the four submerge in the waters. Making a mental note to upload it later, not so late, in his insta account. Soon enough he followed his hyungs in the pool.

They started playing catch ball still submerge with Jaehwan as the referee. It was nice to see his brothers played well along together. But Jaehwan felt odd. He never had this feeling before. It was anew so he couldn't comprehend what kind of emotion is boiling inside his heart. All he knew was, he's happy yet so sad. He's filled with laughters yet almost emptied. He can't take this alien feeling anymore.

“Let's race!” Jaehwan suggested. He thought by playing would cause adrenaline rush to cover up his weird feeling.

“Great idea!” Sanghyuk exclaimed.

The pool is an atheletic pool that's why it was just perfect for racing.

The five of them pulled themselves up to stand on one end. They asked if the lifeguard could be the official for their race. No choice, the lifeguard agreed. Lane 1 was Wonshik, on his left side was Jaehwan on Lane 2. Hongbin on center lane. Taekwoon on Lane 4 and Sanghyuk was on, Taekwoon's left, Lane 5. The five readied themselves. Keen, they waited until the lifeguard blows his whistle. Upon hearing the cue, Taekwoon and Hongbin dive in, followed by Wonshik and Sanghyuk in split seconds, Jaehwan intentionally let at least 3 seconds passed before he finally dive in. The younger vocalist thought if he would be last, he'll be needing a whole bunch of adrenaline to catch up and that's what he's after for. To switch his emotions because he's desperate not to feel that in any unneccesary more seconds.

Taekwoon won followed by Hongbin in second place and Wonshik on third and Sanghyuk on fourt. Jaehwan fallen in last place but he felt he's the one who won the race. The four took notice of his enjoyment even though he's the fifth place. Jaehwan run along the edges of the pool and suddenly jumped into the pool again. Swam deeper and deeper and further until he has no supply of air anymore so decided to come up before he drown himself. Satisfied, the weird emotion faded as if the feeling was drown further deep down the pool. Floating, he was given a sight of four members looking at him weirdly. He cannot deny that look since he feels weird himself too awhile ago.

They play. Swim. Eat. Selca. Sun bathe. Swim. Eat. Selca. Play.

In between those, Taekwoon manage to exit himself and gone back his room to call Hakyeon but the call was only transferred to voicemail. Last retreat, he send the leader a message to follow before the day would end, at least, even Hakyeon could join them in dinner would mean a lot.

Until they only had last bits of energy to washed and rinsed themselve for bed.

Taekwoon rushed to his bed when he saw his phone light up. Press his finger print on the center button, his phone open and he pressed to open an unfamiliar chatbox consisting of them five. The first message was sent by Sanghyuk, he's the one who probably made this chatbox too. But that what wasn't made Taekwoon frowned but the message itself.

Soon, they found themselves in Jaehwan and Hongbin's shared room looking at each other with a drown expression, as if they were physically drown by the waters. Shivers run throughout across every bit of Wonshik's body when he finally broke the silence.

“How could he do this to us?”

Chapter 27: As a hardcore Starlight, I've felt really bad for Yeonie and although he pretends like he doesn't take all the insults to heart, it still reflects in his face. Many times, or too many times, I was angry because he was discriminated for so many things, and especially his skin complexion. Though the boys claim to be simply teasing him, the hurt is still real and it hurts me to see him being mistreated too. I remember him asking to the camera in One Fine Day, "Am I too easy? Is that why they tease me too much?” that really broke me. They refused to be grouped with him. Refused to listen to him. Refused to do anything he ever suggested, whereas he's the leader. And no one could replace him.

I truly hope that it is really as what they're claiming, that it's all simple teasing and no personal hatred. I wish for VIXX's happiness, as all 6 of them together and I hope they understand the real value of Cha Hakyeon's love. And thank you for such emotional storyline, author-nim. From the way you narrated, I believe that you perhaps you found the mistreating towards Yeonie to be unfair and hurting and this was your way of defending him. I cried a lot but I loved your work from the bottom of my heart.

Once again thank you and FIGHTING for your future undertakings as well!

Chapter 26: In all honesty, there have been a few times that I cried because of how Hakyeon has been treated by s. Everything seemed to be so good in the beginning, but then, as if overnight, everyone started to outcast him and only ever complained or say negative things about him. Not to mention the hate or mistreatment he sometimes got from those outside of the VIXX members.
So many people say that the members love Hakyeon and are only teasing him, but I swear I saw real hurt on his face on more than one occasion, and if it was that bad on-camera, I couldn't imagine what happened off-camera.

That said, I was monitoring them closely the past year, and it seems that the relationships have gotten better than it was before. Of course, they haven't been on many shows as a group, so I can't really say, but a lot of the interactions I've seen have given me hope that VIXX are at a better place than they were before (I'm still iffy on Hongbin, but I'm still watching). I just hope that it will continue like this or get better as this year unfolds.

My point of all this is, I really didn't want to read this story because I knew I would cry. I did, several times, because it's a very believable concept that may have actually occurred (which would explain why the members are much nicer and more patient with Hakyeon since 2017/late 2016), is possibly occurring now (after all, we don't really know what goes on off-camera between them), or may occur in the future. Some part of me hopes that Hakyeon did or will "turn his back" on the others in some way (and care from afar, because I doubt he'd really desert them), so that they got/get a reality check and/or he realized/s that yes, he should put himself before anyone else, or at least not invest his whole heart and soul into people that only push him away.

Maybe I sound a bit harsh. I don't mean to. It's just that I was the same way, and though it hurt, and still hurts, I find not investing my heart and soul into anyone, while still caring for them (if that makes sense), is safer and hurts less than to be betrayed and frequently hurt by the ones you thought were your friends, family, brothers, sisters, or eternal presence that you couldn't imagine out of your life.... (the examples just examples; they all don't apply to me. :P)

But I wouldn't have felt right not reading this, so here I am. You did a wonderful job, especially since you said this was your first story. It made me cry, yes, but it made me happy that at least in this fictional world, VIXX has a happy open-ended resolution. I especially liked the way you wrote Jaehwan. Maybe people seem to forget that he has a serious side to him and can act like a hyung as well, but I loved the "just to remind you" part. He does have his moments where something sweet or emotional suddenly becomes sarcastic and/or, for lack of better word, "bratty." So awesome job on that!
I'm also happy that it seems not everyone is blind to the fact that Hakyeon might actually be hurt at times, and may have been (or is still) under-appreciated by the members at least at some point.

Oh, and just in case I may have given the wrong impression, I don't hold grudges against the other members. In fact, I easily move on from things if I see changes. For example, in all honesty, I liked everyone at first, but once things started going crazy, I despised Hongbin and Sanghyuk the most because they treated Hakyeon the worst (this was at the time Taekwoon and Wonshik were my bias, not Hakyeon, so I wasn't playing favorites). However, I noticed Hakyeon and Sanghyuk's relationship improved after the dissing war in 2016, to the point that now Sanghyuk actually lets Hakyeon do as he pleases to him for a while, so Sanghyuk has returned to being that softspot in my heart (which I am happy about. I loved ChaSang interactions during 2012 and some of 2013. It always warmed my heart, even now. And I love their interactions now. Although not the same as before, which is kind of sad, it's still sweet).
Hongbin, on the other hand, is really confusing me. One minute he's nice and actually plays with Hakyeon, and the next, he's very mean toward him (such as not giving a message to Hakyeon for their 5th anniversary, and begging Sanghyuk to tell him what to say to Hakyeon during his birthday special).
Because of that, I am still cautious and don't expect too much from Hongbin, but I am still looking out for any general improvements like I did with Sanghyuk and the other members.

Great job! Lovely story. ^ ^
