Ch. 45- Don't Leave

The Raven and the Dove

Myungsoo's POV:

As I woke up this morning, I had a heavy feeling in my heart. It felt like something bad was going to happen to day, but I had no idea what it was. I pushed the feeling away as I got ready for school. I washed my face, brushed my teeth, and put on my uniform. I went downstairs, and breakfast was already done. There were eggs, bacon, and toast on a plate for me. I looked in the kitchen to see Sungyeol cooking something over the stove, and he was wearing a cute, pink apron. Then I noticed that the string on the back was loose so I quietly walked over to him. I pulled on the strings, which pulled him closer to me, and I heard a gasp from him.

" W-What are you doing?"

" Tying your apron, it was loose." I began tying the strings, and to make sure it didn't get lose again, I wrapped it around his waist. My arms wrapped around his waist as I pulled the string around. His body felt stiff though when I made contact with him.

" M-Myungsoo."

" Hm?" I finally finished tying is apron, and tugged on it one more time.

" N-Nevermind. Thank you." He bowed his head a little bit, and I smiled.

" No problem." I walked back to my seat, and began to eat my breakfast. It tasted so good that I hummed in approval. Sungyeol brought his food over to the table, and ate together with me. Which reminds me, we haven't ate breakfast like this together for such a long time. This morning was already starting on a good note!

After we were done eating, I helped with putting our dishes into the sink. Then I went to grab my bag from the living room and waited by the door for Sungyeol. He finally came down after like 5 minutes, and we headed to the car. The car ride was silent, but it wasn't an awkward silent anymore. It was a comfortable silent.

When we finally got to school, I saw Sungjong and Minwoo walking in the hallway. I waved at them and they waved back. Though when I looked at Sungyeol his expression turned sour. Just standing next to him I felt his body go all stiff, and I could feel an angry vibe from him. I don't know why he was being like this all of a sudden, but it worried me a little bit. So I held onto his hand, and I felt it relax. His hand- it felt warm. Then I felt his pull his hand from my grasp, and he walked to class ahead of me. I was about to follow him, but then someone had to stand in my way.

" What do you think you are doing with Sungyeol? You shouldn't be holding his hand like that especially if you have no feelings for him."

" What do you want Kris? Why can't I hold onto his hand? Also why are you always talking about feelings!?" Kris got even closer to me, and I had to back away a few steps.

" I like Sungyeol so if you don't care about that then stay away, especially since you don't have the same feelings as I do." I shoved him away from me, and shoved my face in front of his.

" You listen here Kris! Just because you may have feelings for him doesn't mean I approve of it! Not until Sungyeol says he likes you, I won't stay away from him. I will protect him, especially from people like you." I turned away from him, but then I felt him pull on my wrist.

" What is he to you?"

" What?"

" What is he to you!" I didn't know really. He is a friend that I care for, he is somebody who is important to me, and he is somebody who has affected my life.

" He is...he is..." Kris scoffed at me, and pushed me away.

" That's what I thought." Then like that he left me standing there by myself.

" Myungsoo, are you alright?" I turned around to see Sunggyu-hyung standing behind me. He must have seen and heard everything.

" Yeah I'm alright. Do you need something, hyung?" Hyung looked down at his feet, but he gave me a smile when he looked back up.

" I need to talk to you later. So meet me after school by the gates, okay?"

" O-Okay." He never usually asks me stuff like this, so maybe this was something about the company? Sunggyu-hyung left for his class and I left for mine. I sat down in my seat, and I glared at Kris' back trying to make holes in his back.

" What took you so long?" My attention went back to Sungyeol as he poked my side.

" I had a talk with somebody." I looked back at Kris, who was totally not noticing my glare at him.

" Oh....Okay then." I was about to say something, but then the stupid teacher just had to interrupt me. I guess I will have to ask him later.

I wonder what does Grandpa-hyung have to say to me? Is it that important that he needs to meet me after school? I mean he could just call me or text me when I'm home. I guess I will have to wait until school is over. Which reminds me, I still haven't told anybody that Sungjong and I broke up.

---------------------------------------------------------------

During lunch.....

 

Sungyeol's POV:

 

I sat next to Myungsoo and the others because I still couldn't confront Kris. Ever since he confessed to me that night, I coudn't face him. I haven't even give him an answer to him either! So many things are going through my mind, I can't even jungle them all at once! My feelings, Kris' feelings, Donghyun-sshi, and the company as well. I don't really know what to do anymore.

" Everybody, I have to say something." My attention turned towards Myungsoo. Sungjong was sitting next to him and surprisenly Minwoo was sitting with us too. When I saw those two walking together this morning, I couldn't help but get angry. Sungjong should be with Myungsoo and not Minwoo. Though when Myungsoo held onto my hand this morning, all of that anger disappeared.

" Well this may come off as a shock to everybody, but........Sungjong and I broke up."

I choked on my drink, Dongwoo-hyung and Hoya-hyung stopped everything all together, and Woohyun-hyung and Sunggyu-hyung stopped feeding each other. This truly came off as a shock to us because we didn't predict for them to brake up. I looked over to Myungsoo who was giving me a lopsided smile, Sungjong and Minwoo were shyly smiling, and that was when I noticed that they were sitting extremely close to each other. Everybody was starting to get back to their senses, and Woohyun-hyung was the first one to speak.

" W-What do you mean you guys broke up with each other? To be more exact who broke up with who?"

" I broke up with Sungjong. The reason why we broke up was because I realized Sungjong's heart didn't belong to me- it belonged to Minwoo-sshi. Don't worry though, I'm truly happy for them."

So that's why Sungjong and Minwoo were walking together this morning. That also explains why Sungjong didn't eat with us yesterday too!

" I guess if you guys are both happy then that's fine." Sunggyu-hyung sighed as he spoke and I couldn't help but sigh along with him too.

" Well we already knew about that." Everybody turned their heads to Dongwoo-hyung and Hoya-hyung.

" How did you guys already know!?" I had to cover my ears from Myungsoo's scream or else I could have gone deaf.

" We overheard you guys."

" Wait. What were you guys doing that night that you overheard us?" Now that got my curiousity up when Sungjong asked that. We were all eying the two of them, but then all of a suddent the both of them stood up.

" WE ARE DATING THAT'S WHY!" We stared at them for a few seconds, and then we burst into laughter. Seriously these two can't be taken seriously at times. After a good few minutes of laughter, the two of them sat down, and we continued on eating our lunch.

We threw away our trash, put our trays away, and we headed to our next class. Though before I could even join the others, I felt a pull on my wrist. I turned around to see Kris with Tao a few feet away from him. I looked up at Kris to see a painful expression on his face, and I felt guilty at that point. My wrist started hurting after a while so I tried pullied my wrist out of his grasp. He finally noticed that he was holding onto it for a bit too long and let it go. I rubbed my wrist while he put both of his arms tightly to his side. I was going to say something but he went first.

" Sungyeol."

" Y-Yeah."

" You can't avoid me forever." I nodded in agreement.

" Just give me a bit more time.....Please." He walked passed me, but I was able to catch what he said.

" I can't wait forever." I felt Tao walk pass me too, and I started heading back to my next class.

When I got to the classroom, Myungsoo was there waiting for me by the door. He gave me a smile and I smiled back. I needed his smile after my confrontation with Kris. Right now I just needed some peace, and Myungsoo gave me a little bit. I just wished that life can be easier at times and problems like these can easily disappear. Is a teenager's life really this hard? Ever since I came to school, life became hard and confusing for me. Everything hit me too fast that I couldn't comprehend it. I wasn't able to catch what was thrown at me, and now they are left on the floor for me to clean up.

" Is there something wrong?"

" Nothing's wrong. Just too many things going on at once."

" I see." Then I felt a pair of hands on my shoulders- Myungsoo was massaging me.

" M-Myungsoo."

" Hm?"

" Thank you."

" Again, no problem!" His hands felt nice when he massaged my shoulders. Just him being around gave me some peace, and I wanted it like that. If I couldn't have him as a lover, then I rather stay as his friend forever.

" Sungyeol? Sungyeol?"

Before I knew I had fallen asleep, and my head was on the desk. I heard a soft chuckle, a pat on my head, and I felt my hair being moved. I had another dream though; I had a dream of Myungsoo and I holding hands.

------------------------------------------------------------

After school.....

 

Myungsoo's POV:

 

Sungyeol left before I did because he had to go to work. I was disappointed truthfully, but I knew he the company to worry about, and I didn't want to add another problem to his list. Anyways, Sunggyu-hyung wanted to talk to me after school but I have been waiting for 10 minutes. As I was looking through my phone, he finally showed up.

" Sorry! Woohyun-hyung wouldn't let go of me no matter what. Anyways, how about we got to some café and talk about what I have to say." I nodded my head, and we walked to car. He drove us to this small but homey café that was a few blocks from the school. We sat down at a booth that was in the corner, and we both ordered lattes.

" So shoot. What did you want to tell me, hyung?" Hyung was rubbing his thumbs over his cup, and he looked me in the eyes.

" It's about Sungyeol."

" What about him?"

" He....He wanted to..." Okay now I'm getting really impatient.

" Just say it hyung!"

" SUNGYEOL WANTED TO BREAK THE MARRIAGE CONTRACT!" My eyes grew wide right when he finished that sentence. I clenched onto my latte, and I didn't realize it until Sunggyu-hyung said something.

" Myungsoo, your hand." I looked down at my hand and noticed my knuckles turned white. I let my grip relax and tried to breathe evenly. I felt a sharp pain in my heart, and I placed my hand over it.

" Why? Why did he want to break the marriage contract?"

" He didn't really say." I sighed at hyung's so-not-great answer.

" Why? Why did he want to break it? Did I do something to him? Was it because of me?"

" Myungsoo-ah."

" Sorry hyung, but I think I'm going to go home." He sighed once again, and smiled at me.

" Alright. Be careful on your way home." I nodded and waved to him goodbye.

I walked out of the café and called for the driver. In a few minutes he was here, and I headed back home. The drive back actually felt long to me. It was as if every building and car we passed by was going in slow motion. All I could think of was how Sungyeol wanted to break the contract. All of these questions would pop into my head. Why? Did I do something wrong? Was it because of me? Did he get sick of living with me? Just why?

I was finally back, and I threw my bag onto the couch. I didn't care to do any homework at the moment, so I went and washed myself up. I needed a shower to clear up my mind for a bit. Maybe the steam can clear up my mind, and the water will wash away my worries. But then I knew that once I stepped out of the shower, everything will run back to my head. When I got out of the shower, everything did come running back to me. I just dried my hair, put on sweats, and laid on my bed. I stared at the ceiling for who knows how long, and after a while I finally fell asleep.

---------------------------------------------------------

 

" I love you."

" Sungyeol? Sungyeol! SUNGYEOL!"

I was holding Sungyeol in my arms. My body was all bruised, and I felt blood on both of my hands. Sungyeol wouldn't wake up no matter how many times I shook him. I kept on screaming his name- he never woke up. I shook him so many times- he didn't bat an eye. Tears were falling down my face, but on Sungyeol's face there was a smile. I pulled him closer to me as I cried uncontrollably. Blood was falling from Sungyeol's shoulder as I grabbed onto it tighter. I thought that if I held onto it tighter the bleeding would stop and he would open his eyes. He didn't though. I said my last words as I held onto him.

" Please, don't leave."

--------------------------------------------------------

 

" Myungsoo! MYUNGSOO!" My eyes flew open at the sound of the person's voice and the shaking of my body. I caught the sight of Sungyeol hovering over me with a worried expression. Before I knew it, I flew into his arms, and I started to cry.

" Please, don't leave! Don't leave me!" I felt him patting my head softly, and he was rubbing my back gently.

" Shh. Don't cry, I won't leave you. I'm right here." His soothing, warm touches calmed me down. I was soon falling alseep to the sound of his voice and tocuhes of his hands.

 

Sungyeol's POV:

 

When I came back home, I went to wash myself up. Then after I was done I was about to go downstairs to get some water, but I heard sobbing noises coming form Myungsoo's room. I walked over to his room, opened the door, and my eyes grew wide when I noticed that Myungsoo was sobbing uncontrollably in his sleep. I rushed over to his side, and tried waking him up. All he kept on saying was ' Don't leave, don't leave, don't leave me.'

I was getting scared for Myungsoo, so I called out his name and shook him hard a few times. He still didn't wake up after a few times, so I tried even harder. I yelled out his name and was practically shaking his body uncontrollably. After a couple of times, his eyes finally opened. I didn't know I was holding in my breathe, and I let it out. Thought I didn't expect him to jump into my arms. I felt tears soaking through my shirt, and he began speaking.

" Please, don't leave! Don't leave me!" I patted his head, and I rubbed his back.

" Shh. Don't cry, I won't leave you. I'm right here." I held him in my arms, and soon he fell asleep in my embrace. I laid him on his bed, I was about to pull away from him, but I didn't notice he was holding onto me tightly. I sighed and decided to slip into his bed too. I pulled the covers over us, pulled him towards me, and fell alseep.

Myungsoo, you are making it harder for me to let you go.
