It was a week since Eunhyuk had disappeared from the hospital and out of Kyuhyun’s life. Kyuhyun was a mess. He had not shaved or showered. He could not sleep as nightmares of a broken Eunhyuk begging him to stop as he had his way with him kept repeating every time he felt asleep. He was not eating either, refusing almost everything and for the first time ever, he wanted to eat Eunhyuks’ food. Whenever he closed his eyes, images of a smiling happy Eunhyuk would come to his mind and he regretted everything he had ever done to the boy. He had not realized when he had fallen in love with him but that was just what happened.

He had fallen in love with his wife.

Kyuhyun hired private investigators to look for his wife and they could come up with nothing.

“Please come home Eunhyuk. I promise never to make you sad again. I will never make you cry again. I have never told you this but I love you. Please…come home.”

Eunhyuk was recuperating well in Junsu and Donghae’s care. Junsu wouldn’t leave his side at all, making sure that he was not in pain and was comfortable. He treated him preciously, not wanting to cause his friend any more pain than he had suffered already. Donghae was like a mother hen, feeding him, cleaning him, dragging him out to sit in the garden, reading to him, telling him about the news of his parents as he emailed them every day. Both frien
