Minji's POV

"When will you be back?" Seungho asked.

"I don't know. When I find her." I said as I checked my stuff.

"Can't you just... call or something?" He asked.

I turned to look at him. He did not bother to hide the fact he was upset. 

"Lucky, I'll come back, okay?" I said, circling my arms around his neck.

He sighed and looked down.

"I'm just worried, okay? I don't like the idea of you going off alone." He said.

"You know I'll come back. Besides, this is the least I, or rather, we, can do." I said.

"I get it, I get it." He muttered.

"Be good." I said, tipping toes to kiss him on the tip of his nose.

I walked over to Junhyung who was sitting next to the window, staring outside, clutching onto a soft toy tightly in his hand.

"Junhyung," I called out, squatting down in front of him. 

He turned to look at me with no expression on his face.

"I'll be back, and I'll bring her with me, okay?" I said.

He smiled at me, and then turned back to the window, his expression back to the same one as before.

I sighed and squeezed his shoulder lightly.

"Be careful, Minji ah~" Doojoon said, smiling tiredly at me.

"You guys take good care of him and yourselves, okay?" I said.

"We would. Please let us know you're okay too." Hyunseung said.

I turned back to Seungho who was frowning. 

"Smile, Lucky~" I said, poking the corner of his lips.

The others chuckled at the nickname.

"It's not funny!" Seungho tried to look angry, but ended up smiling anyway.

"Go home, Minji ah~ I wouldn't come with you." Haneul said.

I was starting to feel angry after days of convincing.

"Haneul ah," I called out.

She turned to me, and I slapped her across her cheek. She gasped in surprise, and then cupped her redden cheek.

"Selfish ." I muttered, tears threatening to spill.

"I'm selfish?" She asked, tears welling up in her eyes too.

"I'm selfish? Minji, really? You're a woman too, I thought of all people you should understand how I am feeling the best! I'm disappointed in you, Minji." She said, allowing her tears to fall.

"Precisely because I am a woman too, I am calling you selfish! What is with just packing up and leaving?!" I yelled.

"I CAN'T FACE HIM ANYMORE!! I DON'T EXPECT YOU TO UNDERSTAND HOW I FEEL BECAUSE IT HAS NOT HAPPENED TO YOU YET AND I HOPE THAT IT WOULD NEVER HAVE TO HAPPEN TO YOU BECAUSE IT IS ING PAINFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!" She shouted as she pushed me against the wall, my shoulders slamming hard against the concrete.

"I CAN'T LOOK AT JUNHYUNG ANYMORE, MINJI AH! I REALLY CAN'T! I KNOW I SHOULD NOT BE BEHAVING THIS WAY BUT I CAN'T LOOK AT HIM! I CAN'T FACE HIM! INSTEAD OF HATING ON HIM, I RATHER LEAVE! WHY CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND!? I'M SELFISH, YES, BUT I'M IN A LOT OF PAIN TOO, MINJI AH!!!!!" She cried.

"Haneul ah~" I held onto her, crying as well.

"I can't, I can't. I really can't go back to him. Our world is gone. It's gone. I can't go back anymore. Nothing would be the same." She cried.

"Haneul ah, your world is not entirely gone yet." I said. 

She stared hard at me, and then slapped me across my cheek.

"It is gone, Minji. And he was the one who destroyed it." She said with a murderous glare.

"Go home." She said coldly as she turned her back.

"How many slaps do I have to endure from you before you would come with me?" I asked.

She turned to look at me, confused.

"What?" She asked.

"How many slaps do I have to endure before you would come with me? Ten? Twenty? Fifty? One hundred? Just tell me, how many?" I asked again.

"Why are you doing this?" She asked.

"Because I cannot bear to see your family shatter, and as a friend, this is the least I can do." I said.

"Too late, Minji ah~ It's shattered already." She said.

"It's not! Haneul ah, it's not!" I pleaded.

"You want my family back together, but he does not. So what's the point?" She asked.

"How do you know he doesn't?" I asked.

"Where is he then?" She asked.

"He... He couldn't come." I said softly.

She shook her head and laughed forcefully.

"Yea, of course. Because work is more important, sleep is more important, everything else is more important than this ing so called family! Everything is is just more important to him that he can just..." She did not finish her sentence. 

"It was his world too, damn it." I said.

She glared at me, fists clenched.

"He destroyed it." She hissed.

"Don't be childish, Haneul! Stop acting like a kid! You of all people should know how guilty he is feeling! You of all people should be there for him right now and not just push all the ing blame onto him and walk off! Yes, he was careless, he is responsible, but do you really need an outsider to tell you how much pain he is in right now? I know you're hurting too. We're all hurting, but of course our pain can never be compared to both you and Junhyung. But Haneul... You need come back. He needs you. He.." I could not seem to continue. 

"What?" She asked.

"Junhyung needs you." I said.

"What happened?" She asked, concern all over her face now.

"Junhyung... He..." I muttered.

"What!?" She shook me.

"He just needs you. Please just come back with me." I pleaded.

"Tell me what happened!" She yelled.

"Junhyung is not Junhyung anymore.” I said, looking away.

After I finished, she collapsed onto the floor and stared blankly at me.

“I’m sorry.” I said softly as I pulled her into a tight embrace.
