Harder to let go

Crossing Parallels 「HIATUS」

 

Minho woke up from a weird screeching noise. It was still dark and all he could see was Eun's head. Any object further was in deep darkness and Minho tried to get used to the darkness when he heard the strange noise again. He noticed some movement outside the car too. He just slightly shook Eun's shoulder and tried to wake her up.

"Hey..hey, Eun." – He shook her a little more and heard another noise. It was quiet growling. – "Oh , Eun. We have guests here." Eun opened her eyes slowly and lazily and looked around.

"What guests? What are you ta-" – She got interrupted with a louder growl from the outside. – "Is that a bear?" – She whispered and covered . Minho lowered on the seat slowly and pulled Eun closer to him, shushing her.

The bear kept walking around the pickup and making angry and heavy sounds, as if trying to understand if that was a human scent in the car.

"He's hungry.." – Minho whispered and looked into the darkness. At the exact moment his stomach made a sick whale's sound. – "And so am I." He felt Eun's boy shaking in his arms and he looked at her. She was laughing, covered with her hand and her eyes closed tightly. She didn't make any sound, but just kept laughing hysterically. So that's what could make her laugh? It was so easy to make her laugh? Just to be hungry? What a cruel girl. Minho couldn't help but laugh with her, trying to make less sounds, so the bear would leave faster. They soon both realized that the animal was gone already and they started laughing loudly and with more enthusiasm.

Minho was already tearing up from it and Eun's head was on his knees. She was chuckling while holding her stomach and Minho felt his heart going crazy for a moment. He turned serious immediately. What was going on with him? Was he scared of the bear? Yeah probably that, because he was always able to control himself in any other situation. Eun saw how he quickly turned straight faced and kind of concentrated.

"What? What's wrong?" – She asked still chuckling and wiping her tear from her temple. Minho couldn't keep it in anymore… He quickly leaned down and kissed the girl. When he pulled away seconds later he saw Eun staring at his face in the darkness. There was no kind of emotion on her face and Minho on the contrary felt how fast his face turned to a teenager's shyness, he couldn't stop thinking how crazy he was to do that.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to." – He sat back and looked out of the window. He finally noticed how the sun threw its first rays into the sky, lightening it just a little bit, as the dawn was close.

"Why did you do that?" – Eun asked staring straight on Minho's face. He turned to her and stuttered for a second or two, before finally mumbling out a quiet 'I have no idea'. Eun sat up and moved to the front seat, trying to start the engine. – "… This is useless. Try your phone, just try to send a message."

She threw the phone on the backseat at Minho and put her forehead on the wheel. Minho took the phone with a foggy head and turned it on. There was just 2% of battery and it was enough to send his location to Jonghyun and ask him to drive to him immediately.

 

Jonghyun couldn't sleep all night. He kept thinking of Amber, of what she said. She simply put a border between them and gave no reason why, except for the conditions and the contract he already knew about. It was almost morning, and the weak sunrays crept into his room. Minho didn't come home at night… that was strange and it really scared Jonghyun. He got up from the bed and went to the bathroom. He checked manager's room and it was empty. Thank god he didn't come and check the bedrooms. He heard his phone making a sound of an angry dinosaur and he went back to his room. He got a message from Minho.

"The hell is this guy thinking?!" – He grunted out angrily. But he reread the message over and over again, looking at the map location Minho had sent to him. Jonghyun clicked his tongue and quickly put his boots on, grabbed the car keys and ran out of the dorm. He heard music from the practice room and looked through the glass door. Amber was practicing there, all wet and tired, as he could see from her eyes. He decided to open the door and give her a good brotherly lesson about not sleeping and spreading energy, but he stopped himself. But Amber already noticed him. She looked at him from the full length large mirror in front of her. Jonghyun also looked at her and sighed: too late to run away. He walked into the room and Amber turned the music off. She was breathing heavily and sweat was running down her face. Her t-shirt was stuck to her body and the bottles of water beside her were all empty.

"Been practicing all night?" – Jonghyun asked her awkwardly.

"Haven't slept all night?" – Amber asked pointing at his eyes.

"Minho is stuck somewhere, I must go pick him up and we have that radio recording soon…"

"With us, I remember."

"I can wait for you to take a shower and change your clothes and we can go together."

"Alright, I'll be back in 20 minutes." – Amber took her phone and towel and left the practice room quickly. Jonghyun looked at himself in the mirror. What was so amazing in him that everyone kept talking about? Such an ugly, selfish face… He went out and walked slowly to f(x)'s dorm. He stood beside the door, leaning on the wall. Amber was probably taking shower right now, and she must be hungry, he thought. Just 15 minutes later Amber came out of the dorm a warm hoodie and jeans on her. Her hair was still damp and it stuck out from under her hat. They walked to the parking lot and got into Jonghyun's car. He drove with the coordinates shown on the navigator. Amber stayed quiet all the way until he broke the silence.

"Are you hungry?"

"Pretty much. I lost a lot of energy at night." – She replied looking straight in front of her. This was really an awkward time for both of them, and Jonghyun knew why.

"We'll grab something to eat after we pick Minho up." – Jonghyun bit his lip and drove faster through the highway. It was already morning, around 7AM, but He felt like it was still the night he and Amber had that conversation.

 

Minho moved to the front and sat there beside Eun. She wasn't asleep, her eyes weren't even moving from the same spot.

"I'm sorry, Eun…I really am." – He said looking at her thin back, where the spinal bones poked under the skin.

"I just want to understand why you did that okay? Nothing else." – She looked at Minho and turned her gaze at the road. – "You know that every second spent together, any memories are going to haunt you till the end of your days, while I will vanish away and leave you here!" – She was almost shouting now. Right, Minho didn't think of that. Now he seriously didn't want her to leave. Too bad huh? Exactly. Eun looked at the road wishing to see at least one car that can help somehow.

"I'm sure Jonghyun is on his way. I already sent him a message." – Minho said noticing her concentration.

"If only that bastard isn't still asleep." – She said though a sigh and got out of the car. Minho could still feel her lips on his as he got out after her. He made it even harder to let her go now, he made it hard to forget. She's right…She will soon just leave, and he will be the one to suffer, just as always.

This story is really getting weird, but it doesn't matter though, because I love how strange it is. So different from other stories :)
Since I'm falling behind I'm gonna read the next chapter at once and save the long comment for that chapter ! :)
