An Old Friend

Hyesung opening his car window, let the cool wind greeting him, such a fresh air, so different from what he breathe in Seoul. Beside him, he can see a humble two storey house built by woods with a large yard surround it, and a big open fireplace from stones on the ground, definitely a hand-made. 

 

Looks homey—comfortable, it’s a cabin kinda house in countryside but surprisingly not so out of place from the others, stand out but also blending perfectly.

 

“It’s so him.”

 

“It’s really him, wait ‘till you see the interior, it screams Dongwan hyung so much.” Junjin chuckled, remember the first time he came and made a visit here.

 

Smile a little, Hyesung turn his head—looking at Junjin who sit on passenger seat, playing with his phone still.

 

“Why you hide it?”

 

Shrug his shoulder, “He asked it, and to be honest hyung,” put his phone away, Junjin then also looking at Hyesung, “it feels like I’m the only one who miss him much, we never talk about him—not at all. I mean, I know it’s such a sensitive thing, but yeah.”

 

It’s a vague sentence—but Hyesung knew the meaning very well. Junjin was right. The day Dongwan decided to left them all years ago, they never mentioned his name again, at least not when they’re together, the five of them.

 

“I miss him too.”

 

Sighing, Junjin pats Hyesung arms. “But you never said it hyung. I tried so hard to found him, when I got his address last year, I was so happy. I canceled my schedules of the day and came here hurriedly.”

 

“Then?”

 

“Then—Dongwan hyung banged his door in front of my face.”

 

“What?”

 

“Avoiding me, us. What else?” 

 

“After all these years?”

 

Nodding his head, Junjin give his hyung a bitter smile. “Sadly, yes. But I was persistent, I drove here almost every weekends. He still cares a lot, he just didn’t want to involved in our life again, I think.”

 

“Then why you told me his whereabouts last night?”

 

“Cause you’re being ridiculous, hyung.” Junjin says the matter of factly, what happened last night flashing in their eyes clearly. “Break off your engagement with Eric hyung, seriously?”

 

“He’s the ridiculous one,” Hyesung retaliates, “if he want Shinhwa in our wedding, then it need to be six. All of us.”

 

Sighing again, Junjin glances his eyes to the front, looking at the afternoon sky. “I tell you this because I’m agree that we need to fix our relationship with Dongwan hyung—but please, don’t push him to join us if he don’t want it hyung.”

 

“Why?!” Hyesung sounds a bit shock. “You don’t want him to back? To Shinhwa?”

 

“I want him to be happy, hyung.” Junjin still not looking at Hyesung even he knows his hyung eyeing him right now. “And he’s happy here, he’s loved by his neighborhood, he loves his work too. While, everytime I mention our name—the hurt is so visible on his eyes. He decided what best for him ten years ago, let him be.”

 

Junjin maybe right or it could be right, but Hyesung has another perspective. Like what he said last night to all of them—to Eric. They were angered by what Dongwan did. Shocked and bewildered. But also was caught off guard by the unexp

Chapter 12: I'm glad to see that Minwoo and Dongwan's relationship is improving. Really both must be very brave to do what they did, especially Dongwan, facing the reporters after so long should not have been easy, but I suppose that having Minwoo at his side, gives him that strength he needs, I loved them in this chapter. And the strength of the others, it's great to see that their friendship is still there. Thanks for the update, take care and stay healthy.

Chapter 11: I loved Hyesung, so determined and brave, is good that they received some positive responses and as they say it will be more difficult for her family and the reporters say bad things about them again. Every time Minwoo and Dongwan talk, I don't know what I feel, they are so cute, I already want them to be together again, but I know it will be difficult for Wan, so as they said we will wait until he is ready. Thanks for the update, stay healthy. And sorry for my bad english.

Chapter 10: Good chapter, I'm glad to see that they have good friends, and as in everything, there will always people who hate them, the important thing is stay strong and together. Seeing the new news now I understand that madness and evil must run in the family, I hope they get what deserve. About Hye's idea, it is not said that "The truth will set you free", possibly they will hate them more but it is also possible that they will receive understanding and support, it is always 50-50. I don't imagine what Min want to do, but I hope it helps them. Thanks for the update, stay well too. Sorry for my english, but is not my native language.

Chapter 8: Good chapter, I like that they share their thoughts, I think this will help their relationship. It's good that Minwoo faced that crazy woman, it will surely give Dongwan strength to face her as well. Thanks for the update, stay healthy.

Chapter 7: It was very touching, the hug of the six made me miss them more. The good thing is that Dongwan is no longer alone and he has his friends back to support him. I think if Minwoo and Dongwan's love was as strong as they mention, it should still be there, I hope they can have a happy ending. Take care and thanks for the update

Chapter 7: Minwoo probably has a mix of both really, 10yrs is a long time and alot of unresolved feelings sometimes also take years to dissect in someone's head. Also that amount of abuse, damn. Really happy though it's starting to get better. The saying Crazy deserves Crazy is slightly wrong, in this case Crazy looks better behind bars

Chapter 6: Great chapter, even I was scared of that girl, she's crazy ans is really evil. In the end I almost cried with Dongwan, I felt bad for him throughout the chapter, he suffered too much and has carried everything alone, I hope and now lean on his friends to face her. Thanks for the update, I'm glad to know that you are healthy, but take care and rest as long as you need, I'll waiting for an update, greetings.

Chapter 5: Good chapter, apparently everyone said what they kept and this helps them. Now I just hope that when Dongwan tells what really happened it will help him to lighten the weight that he has carried for so long, so they can deal with this all together as always. Thanks for the update, you too stay well and take care.
