"hyung?" junjin called out as he entered hyesung's place

no one answered him..so he called again "hyung? are you here?"

still no one answered.. he was about to go when he heard someone sobbing...he followed the sobs and it lead him to hyesung's room.. the sobs came from his closet...

"hyung...." junjin called out as he opened the closet doors.. there hyesung was..eyes puffed and red from crying...when he saw junjin he ran to the younger's arms and cried some more...

after a while.. hyesung calmed down.. now he and jinnie were sitting on the floor..backs against the wall..

"how are you feeling?" junjin asked

"as you can see jinnie ah i am not at all ok.. it's hard to let go of the one you love the most..."

"then why did you break up with him?"

"because a relationship without trust cannot survive ..."

junjin nodded..he understood where the little prince was coming from...

"so what are your plans for the week long break then? you can come with me and andy.."

"i do not want to ruin your date jinnie...i'll be ok..i already plan to go to japan..."

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

coincidentally eric and hyesung's flights were almost at the same time the next day... eric decided to go home to america for the week... woodong took eric to the airport and jindy took hyesung...  when they all saw eachother everyone greeted except ricsung

"hyung..be careful in japan ok?" junjin hugged his mama bird

"umm" the little prince nodded and then he hugged everyone but eric.. "i have to go.. my boarding time is close..i'll see you in a week"

when hyesung left, minwoo noticed eric looking at him "you're not going to say goodbye?"

"i have to go too.. just contact me if something happens to shincom..." he said goodbye to his dongsaengs and also left

"aisshh.. what are we going to do about those two?" dongwan shook his head

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

it's been days since eric arrived in america...

"yah mun junghyuk.. you came for a vacation but all you do is stay in your room.. what's going on?" eric's mom asked as she sat by eric's bed

"nothing mommy..i just want to rest" eric lied.. he has been just staying at home and most of the time do nothig.. he doesn't even play with his niece that he adored so much

"i did not give birth to you so you can lie to me..now speak" eric's mom was someone who will always see through eric..even if he hides it, his mom will always be able to find out

"we broke up..." eric sighed

"who? hyesungie? wae? what did you do? did you cheat on him?"

" eomma.. why do you assume i did something? you don't even know the story..and i am your son"

"because i love pilkyo more than you now.." mom joked "but ina  more serious tone son, what happened?"

eric told his mom everything that has happened up to the day hyesung told him they should break up

"did you talk to him about your issues with kangta?"

eric shook his head..because all those times that it was happening it was only yelling that became their conversation

"don't you think hyesung broke up with you because he felt you didn't trust him? did he ever cheat on you  before kangta sent those flowers?"

eric shook his head.. he was slowly realising how stupid he was.. hyesung never cheated on him nor did things that would make him think he ws cheating on him..

"ayyy...im really a fool mom...."

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

when eric came home from america at the end of the week, he decided he needed to talk to hyesung and fix their relationship...

he went to hyesung's place...he stood there for a few minutes before he managed to ring the door bell

"oh.. eric ssi...what brings you here?" hyesung was surprisingly calm

"i.. can we talk?" eric asked shyly

hyesung nodded and made way for eric to come in,,

eric sat down and hyesung went to the kitchen to get his visitor some drinks.. the older one looked around and saw that their couple pictures are not there anymore..there were photos of shinhwa..even individual photos, even of him.. but there are no photos of him and hyesung anymore...

"what did you want to talk about? hyesung said as he sat down..

"i'm sorry hyesung ah.. i know i was stupid.. and i was wrong...i'm sorry" eric bowed his head he was hoping hyesung was going to forgive him and get back with him

"it's ok eric ah...it's done..it's in the past.." hyesung was always the forgiving one..the one who doesn't like fights among members because he always fear that the group will disband because of that

"so you mean?"

"but i can't go back to you..." hyesung cut of.."i'm sorry.."

"but...please hyesungie.. i will change th things you don't like from me.. please don't do this to me..." eric begged..eyes tearing up

"i'm sorry eric...i just can't..i cannot be in a relationship where my partner does not trust me..i'm sorry... "

"please hyesung ah.."

"please leave eric.. i want to be alone..i will see you at the companyin two days..."

hyesung stood up and went to his room without waiting for eric to respond or leave....

when he heard the door close he broke down... he wanted to go back to eric... he wanted to be with him.. but somehow, he can't take the idea that eric cannot trust him or his love...

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

minwoo heard his phone ring..when he looked at it, he saw eric's number...

"oh eric ah?"

"yeoboseyo? annyeonghaseyo, lee minwoo ssi? can you please come pick up eric ssi from the bar? he has drank quite a lot and already passed out"

"oh ok.. i'll be there in a bit.. thank you for calling me..please just text the address...

minwoo quickly called dongwan "wannie, im gonna pick you up now, we have to go get eric, he pased out at a bar"

when minwoo and dongwan arrived the quickly looked for the bar tender who told them that eric is in one of the VIP rooms..

"eric ah..eric ah.. wake up..we're here to take you home.." dongwan said as the chitchai couple tried to move their leader

"eiiiiiiii.. i want some more vodka...where's the waiteefc azdvbbdnd" eric mumbled trying to reach for the bottle of vodka which is already empty

"that's enough come on, let's take you home.." minwoo had to force their leader up and he and dongwan mamanged to take him to dongwan's home who was closest at that time

when they got to dongwan's place, they took him to the younger one's bedroom..

minwoo took a basin with water and started to wash eric up, dongwan tried to find clothes that can fit eric althought it took a little bit of time as their leader was rather tall so his clothes will look like girls clothes on him, luckily he found some jammies that are big enough

"i wonder what happened to him..." dongwan asked as he sat by eric's side

"please..please hyesung ah.. don't leave me..." eric cried in his sleep..

"it's about hyesung again...i see...i wonder, did they talk already?" minwoo pondered he decide to call hyesung but the latter wasn't picking up so he called jinnnie instead

"jinnie ya.. do you know if something happened between eric and hyesung since they came back?" minwoo asked

"neh..i just talked to hyesung hyung..he said eric came to talk to him and apologized.. he accepted teh apology but he didn't want to get back with him..." junjin explained..

"i see..well we are at dongwan's place..we had to pick up eric from a bar coz he was drunk..we'll see you tomorrow then.."

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

"hyung...kwenchana?" andy asked after junjin put the phone down and he noticed hyesung's sullen face

hyesung is with andy and junjin because he can't bear to be alone so he asked them to come over

"i'm ok.."

"why did you not get back with eric hyung? don't you love him anymore?" the makane asked

"i do andy yah.. God knows i do.. but..not now..i can't... he doesn't trust me...he only came because people told him to, he only realized his mistake when his mom told him.. but he himself..he didn't.. i can't be in a relationship like that..." hyesung sighed

"will you be ok mama bird?"

"neh jinnie..i'll be ok..eric will be too when he get's over it.."

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

it has been a week since hyesung and eric parted ways permanently... shinhwa was still shinhwa..but ricsung is no more.. they greet eachother but they do not play around eachother like before anymore..

the other four members are trying their best to keep it together.. althought they wish things would go back to how the things were, where eric and hyesung were together and happy...
