Torn

Alone

Sungjong woke up by 9 am. He sat up from bed, noticing that the person that was next to him was gone.

Sungjong scanned the room, but no Yongguk was found.

Did he leave?

Sungjong stood up and noticed a sticky note on his small pot. He took the note and smiled.

Hey sleepyhead.

So by the time you read this, I already left! I texted Baekho and Byung-hun to accompany you today. We have a schedule today, so I’ll see you tomorrow okay? ^^

Guk

Sungjong chuckled again. He stuck the note back and went outside.

Sungjong walked to the kitchen, he’s surprised that most of them are still sleeping. He went to the fridge and took out his bottle of water. He drank a little and placed it back.

A pair of arms suddenly slithered around his waist.

“Jongie.” Myungsoo whispered in his ear, making the maknae shiver.

“Good morning hyung.” Sungjong tried his best not to stutter.

“Can we talk please?” Sungjong faced Myungsoo and nodded.

“What is it?” Sungjong asked. Myungsoo took a deep breath.

“Can you avoid Yongguk for a while?” Sungjong was taken aback with the sudden statement of the visual.

“W-why hyung? Is there something wrong?” Sungjong asked, inching away from Myungsoo.

“I’m jealous. I’m super jealous, very jealous.” Myungsoo bitterly chuckled. “I know you’re comfortable with him, but I’m your boyfriend. How do you think that makes me feel?” Sungjong froze.

“I...” Sungjong tried to speak, but no words came out.

“If you can’t do that for me, then maybe we shouldn’t be together for now.” Myungsoo sighed and walked away.

When Sungjong heard a door close, tears streamed down his pale cheeks.

I’m selfish, very selfish.

I’m insensitive.

How can I be so cruel?

Sungjong stood there, hating himself.

***

At around 10 pm, Baekho and L.Joe arrived.

“I’ll just have some breakfast okay?” The two nodded. Sungjong went to the dining area and sat next to Hoya.

Infinite ate in silence. No one tried to talk, because for some reason, tension was filling the air. Sungjong kept glancing at Myungsoo, who was staring at his food blankly.

Sunggyu’s small eyes secretly observed Sungjong. When Sunggyu realized what he was doing, he shook his head.

“I’m done.” Myungsoo plainly said, barely touching his food. Sungjong sighed. The maknae stood up and went to the two boys in the living room.

“Are you done?” Baekho merrily asked. Sungjong nodded. L.Joe took his bag.

“Let’s go then.” Sungjong nodded.

“We’re off hyungs.” Sungjong said, as the others nodded and waved good bye. As soon as Sungjong left, they felt relieved.

“Did they fight?” Sungyeol whispered to Woohyun.

“I don’t know.” Woohyun whispered back.

Sunggyu sighed and followed Myungsoo to their shared room.

“Yah, Kim Myungsoo.” Myungsoo tilted his head upwards to face the leader. “Did you and Sungjong fight?” Myungsoo froze. He bit his bottom lip and nodded.

“Sort of” Sunggyu sighed and sat next to Myungsoo.

“What happened?” Myungsoo was about to say something when he suddenly realized what was happening.

“Wait, are you really asking about Sungjong?” Sunggyu blushed.

“F-fine then, if you don’t want my help.” Sunggyu rushed out of the room. Myungsoo chuckled.

What’s wrong with him all of a sudden?

Sunggyu went straight to the bathroom. He took a deep breath and stared at his reflection.

What am I doing?

Sunggyu splashed water in his face, sighing after.

Whatever this is, I need to stop.

***

The three arrived at the studio at around 12 pm. Because of Sungjong’s sprained ankle, all he could do was sing.

“So hyung, anything in mind?” Baekho asked. Sungjong gave him a confused look. “What are you going to sing hyung?” Baekho asked.

“Ohh.” Sungjong said, making the two chuckle.

“Is something bothering you Sungjong?” L.Joe asked. Sungjong sighed and shook his head.

“It’s really nothing, just having a bad day.” Sungjong gave them a reassuring smile that he’s fine.

“Well, okay then. What do you want to sing then hyung?” Baekho asked, scanning his mp3 for ideas.

“How about an AOA song?” L.Joe suggested. Sungjong looked up and shook his head.

“How about a GG song?” Baekho said. Sungjong sighed. “What do you feel like singing then hyung?”

Sungjong sighed again.

“I don’t know.” Sungjong sighed for the nth time.

“There’s something in your mind right? Try singing about that then.” L.Joe smiled. Sungjong thought of a song closest to what he was feeling. After minutes of searching, he found the perfect song.

“How about this one?” Sungjong showed his choice to the two. They nodded.

“Great choice. A bit sad, but great choice.” L.Joe approved.

“You have great taste in music hyung.” Baekho sheepishly smiled. Sungjong chuckled.

“Do you want to sing with me Dongho?” Baekho’s face lit up and nodded. Both of them entered the small studio.

When they were ready, Sungjong signalled L.Joe to start the music. The other nodded. Sungjong cued Baekho to start.

Love Letter by VIXX

Maljubyeoni eobseodo nal ihaehae jwoyo
Damadwotdeon jinsimeul da yaegihalgeyo

Sungjong closed his eyes, feeling the lyrics of the song.

Uriga cheoeum mannan geu nal gieok hanayo
Yeppeun geu ipsullo naege useojudeon

Baekho watched Sungjong sing.

Hyung has improved a lot.

Geunal ihuro nan dajimhaesseoyo
Jeoldae nae pumeseo geudael noki sirtago
Kkeutkkaji gagetdago

Saranghandan mal malloneun bujokhagetjiman
Geuraedo oneul nan gobaekhalgeyo

I wanna be with you hangsang geudae han georeum dwien
Geudael jikyeojul geureon saram itdan geol itji mayo

After singing the chorus, it was Baekho’s turn. Images of Myungsoo suddenly entered his mind. He smiled.

Myungsoo hyung. Sungjong felt horrible.

Geudael mannan hubuteo hal iri saenggyeotjyo
Nan maeil maeil geudaeui harul utge haneun il

Hoksina naega manhi bappeul ttaedo itjiman
Nae meorissogen ojik neo ontong geudae saenggakppuningeollyo

Saranghandan mal malloneun bujokhagetjiman
Geuraedo oneul nan gobaekhalgeyo

I wanna be with you hangsang geudae han georeum dwien
Geudael jikyeojul geureon saram itdan geol itji mayo

Baekho sang flawlessly. Sungjong couldn’t help but watch with awe. At first, he didn’t want to believe that Baekho has a hidden relationship with Ren. The two always bicker at each other, but at the end of the day, they still stay together.

For the next parts, both of them sang in unison, with Sungjong’s angelic voice, plus Baekho’s powerful one.


Naege himnaeraneun geudae geu hanmadiga
Nareul baraboneun geudaeui geu nunbichi
Jigeumui nal itge han geojyo
I mal bakke naneun hal su eobseoyo saranghae

Sungjong was on the verge of tears now, but he had to contain them.

Neomu gomawo kkeutkkaji nal gidaryeojwoseo
Heundeullim eobsi nal barabwajwoseo

Naege gidaeyo nae sarangeul mideojwoyo
Eonjekkajina yeongwonhi hamkkehaeyo

I love you, I need you.
I love you, I need you.
Nan hangsang geudaeppunijyo

Nae gyeote isseo jwo naega wiroga doelgeyo
Uri idaero sesangi meomchun deusi saranghae

Geudaeraseo gomawo

After the song, Sungjong couldn’t help but feel torn. He loves Myungsoo, from the bottom of his heart, but he just can’t leave Yongguk like that, who protected him and believed in him when he needed someone.

I hate choosing, especially when it’s between people I care about.

 

 

 

 

 

First of all, here's the update!!! <3 Lol, so as you can see, things are getting a bit complicated now. While I was writing the first part, I was a bit excited, because I just made Myungsoo a bit bold here. Lol

Second, Sunggyu is having problems with himself. Lol, we'll see how things will go for him.

Third, I just had to put Baekho and L.Joe here. Lol, I just love Korean music.

Fourth, I'm actually reading about EXO OTP's and you could say that I ship BaekYeol. I just find them so cute, lol. In every video or GIF I found, Baekhyun was always beside Chanyeol, which I found very cute.

Actually, here's a list of OTP's I ship.

PenJae (they are just so adorable, Sungjae is a very big maknae)

BaekYeol (I find it cute whenever Chanyeol tickles Baekhyun, lol. Watch their moments during the Idol Athletics Championship)

MyungJong (There are just too many proofs out there. *sighs*)

HoJong (I've always dreamed of these two being the other couple of Infinite)

BaekRen (What can I say? Baekho's affection towards Ren is so cute)

2Min (Minho is too obvious. Lol)

ElVin and JaeVin (I love reading love triangles about  them, so....realistic)

HenHae (My very first OTP. Lol, they're just so cute together, and btw, Henry would be debuting as a solo artist soon! Go Mochi!)

BangLo (I don't know why, but I ship them more than BangHim.)

Lol, sorry for my random-ness okay? Blame my BaekYeol feels. Lol

So, please don't forget to leave your comments okay? I love you guys! Thanks for bearing with me!!!
