Chapter 21



It hurts.

Is this how his first love will end?

A tear rolls down Kyungsoo’s cheek when Jongin hyung gets into a jewelry shop with the woman holding onto his elbow. They look so good together. The woman is beautiful, her skin is white and pure, her face is small, her eyes are big and pretty, her nose is pointy, her lips are shining and plump, her body is slender.

It seems like a slowed scene of a movie. Kyungsoo’s tear drops onto his hand, before it rolls down the slope of his fingers then splatters on the table.

It seems like a slowed scene of a movie. Kyungsoo can hear the thumping sounds of his heart, slowly getting faster than before; baddump, baddump, and baddump.

It seems like a slowed scene of a movie. Every moment he spent with Jongin hyung comes flashing in front of his eyes; from the happy ones until the bad ones.

Is this what people feel when they get their heart broken?







“Soo…?” Chanyeol comes back, startled to find him crying. Another tear rolls down Kyungsoo’s face and it makes him panic because his friend is crying while staring at something outside—

“What the fuck?” Sehun curses, having back from the restroom and now seeing the scene with his very own eyes. Chanyeol gaps in shock.

“I’m going to kill him!” Sehun curses, spinning on his heels, but he doesn’t get any further when Kyungsoo holds onto his hand.

“D-Don’t.” He chokes, looking up pleadingly at him. Sehun stutters a ‘but’, yet Kyungsoo shakes his head; another tear rolls down.

With a hesitant nod, Sehun slips back into the seat. Kyungsoo glances away from the scene and covers his face with his palms. Both his friends look uncomfortable and angry, but if Kyungsoo doesn’t need them to beat the shit out of the older male, then they won’t do anything.

“Come here.” Chanyeol says softly and Kyungsoo leaps into his embrace, letting out a loud whimper as he cries into his shoulder. Sehun looks down, feeling sad because he can’t do anything to make Kyungsoo stop crying. Chanyeol pats Kyungsoo’s head, muttering soothing words to calm him down.

Kyungsoo spends the rest of the day crying.











When the door is closed behind his back, Kyungsoo stares around the empty apartment with his swollen eyes. Of course, what does he expect? Jongin hyung won’t come back and wait him there. He should have known it.

Jongin hyung is still mad. He is still angry at him, that’s why he doesn’t answer his phone calls, doesn’t reply to his text messages, doesn’t get back home, and goes out with someone else.

A choked sob leaves him before he could hold it back and Kyungsoo crumbles down onto the floor, wailing into his knees. His tears pour down like a fountain, his cheeks flush in pink, and his eyebrows furrow a frown. All because of one male he doesn’t even know his wherebeing and somehow it makes Kyungsoo misses him more.

“Hyung,” he croacks out, sobbing like a kid.

Kyungsoo doesn’t expect that first love would hurt this way. He has fallen in love with Jongin hyung the moment he met him a few years back when Minseok hyung brought him to their house. Thinking back about it, Kyungsoo has always been the one who showed his feelings the most.

Jongin hyung had ignored him and avoided him like a plague, treating him like a kid and brother-zoned him before. Kyungsoo insisted that he loved him and after such a long time, he finally got to hear Jongin hyung said it back; that he loved him too.

He has thought that the two of them would end up with happily ever after, just like in story books and fairy tales, but he could just dream about it.

Kyungsoo thinks this is going to end soon.











“Soo? Do you want to eat something?” Chanyeol asks, caressing his head.

Chanyeol has been such a very good friend and a very clumsy but caring nurse to him. Yes, nurse, because he helps him to nurse his heart back healthy. Sehun is caring too, but he is more like cursing Jongin hyung whenever he thinks Kyungsoo can’t hear him.

“No, I’m fine.” Kyungsoo whispers, curling in Chanyeol’s bed.

As soon as he finishes his class earlier, he dumps himself in Chanyeol’s bed and curls under his blanket. This is the worst heart break ever.

“Eat something, Soo. You haven’t touched the sandwich yet.”

“I’m okay. You eat it, Chan.”

“Soo.”

Chanyeol sighs when he ignores him and decides to let it go. Kyungsoo peeks from the blanket.

“Didn’t you say you have a date with Baekhyun today?”

“I will just reschedule it to another day. I’m sure he can understand. There is no way I would leave you alone like this.”

“Just go. I can be by myself.” Kyungsoo mutters. Chanyeol shakes his head no.

“A no is a no, Soo. Baekhyun will understand. Don’t you worry. Now go sleep.”

“I’m not tired.” Kyungsoo grumbles.

Chanyeol narrows his eyes at him. “Your eyes show everything. You are sleepy so now go sleep. I will wake you up when Sehun is back.”

Kyungsoo admits defeat and closes his eyes to sleep. He feels the bed dips on the edge and he falls asleep to Chanyeol’s soft caresses on his head.











He doesn’t remember when the last time he goes back to the apartment. It feels to lonely there, Kyungsoo prefers to sleep in a small bed with Sehun or Chanyeol, rather than to sleep alone in a wide bed.

Jongdae is avoiding him. He gets into classes late to avoid sitting together with him. It’s not like Kyungsoo is looking forward to talk to him. He still is not ready yet.

Sehun takes care of his assignments for him because apparently as he says, “You are still too weak to even think about finishing this, so let me do this for you.”

Chanyeol shoves food down his throat, accompanies him to wherever he goes, gives him his bed, and so many other things that Kyungsoo is so thankful towards him.

It’s been a full whole week Kyungsoo hasn’t come back home. It’s also a full whole week since Jongin hyung doesn’t come back home too. And he seriously misses him like crazy.

“What are you thinking about?” Chanyeol asks. Kyungsoo nips onto the pudding and shakes his head.

“You are thinking about him again, don’t you?”

Kyungsoo gives a tiny nod as an answer. Chanyeol sighs.

“I don’t understand what’s going on with his head but he should not act like this. He is being so childish right now.”

“I miss him.” Kyungsoo admits in a soft whisper. Chanyeol says nothing.

“Soo, have you tried to call him again?”

Kyungsoo shrugs. “He won’t answer anyway. Why would I try?”

“But you two are- forget it.”

Kyungsoo nods his head, before he remembers something.

“Um, Chanyeol? I didn’t see Baekhyun in the class?”

Chanyeol blinks. “You didn’t? He didn’t come?”

“You don’t know?”

“No, I don’t.”

Kyungsoo narrows his eyes back on him. “Shouldn’t you know why?”

Chanyeol fidgets. “I haven’t talked to him for a few days…”

“What?”

“He doesn’t say anything, Soo. He understands the situation.”

“But, Chanyeol!” Kyungsoo puts the pudding down. “He is your boyfriend! Try to pay more attention to him!”

“But you are sad, Soo! I need to take care of you!”

“Ugh, you are so stupid! Sure, I’m sad, but that doesn’t mean that you can abandon your own boyfriend! Now go look for him and tell him you are sorry.”

Chanyeol looks down. “You are right. I will go look for him now. You stay here! Don’t go anywhere!”

Kyungsoo waves him off. “Hurry and go!”

Chanyeol grabs his phone before he walks out of the dorm room. Kyungsoo slumps back to the bed, now waiting for Sehun to come back.

But… how’s Jongin hyung doing?

Is he okay? Is he happy? Is he sad, too?

Kyungsoo grabs his phone and stares at the background image of Jongin hyung. Oh he misses him so crazily. He hasn’t kissed him for more than a week. He hasn’t hugged him for more than a week. He hasn’t seen him for more than a week!

With a sudden push of braveness, Kyungsoo dials the numbers he remembers with his heart.

The boring dial tone is ringing in his ear and Kyungsoo nervously waits while biting onto his nails. It takes him a few more seconds before he is directed to the voicemail. Again.

Kyungsoo curls into his knees.

“Hi, Jongin hyung. How… How are you? It’s me, Soo. Um… you must be very busy and I just… um, I just want to- to check on you- uh, hyung, are you doing fine? I-I mean are you…”

He chokes.

“I miss you, hyung. I’m sorry.”

Kyungsoo hangs up and cries into his hands again.

Once again, his call goes unanswered.











He doesn’t remember when he falls asleep because he is awaken by the door slamming open. Kyungsoo shifts and sits up.

“Sehun?” He calls.

The boy looks angry and he doesn’t even reply to his call. “Where is Chanyeol?”

“Uh? He is out?” Kyungsoo croacks, rubbing his eye.

Sehun looks around and he sighs. “That idiot.”

“What’s wrong? What happened?”

Sehun shakes his head and sits down onto the chair. “Nothing, just… nothing. Forget it. Go back to sleep.”

“Sehun-ah, what is it?”

“No, you don’t have to worry about it.

“Sehun!” Kyungsoo insists, because the both of his friends have been taking a good care of him so he needs to know what is going on here.

Sehun has a difficult face on him. He looks like he wants to talk about it but he can’t. And that makes Kyungsoo becomes more curious.

“It’s about Baekhyun.” He starts.

Kyungsoo’s ears perk up. “What is about Baekhyun?”

Sehun sighs. “Chanyeol. He—”

The door slams open, alerting Sehun and him. They snap their head towards the door and Chanyeol comes with dread covering his face. He looks pale and his lips tremble.

“Chan?” Kyungsoo calls softly. “What’s wrong?”

Sehun waits silently, he looks rigid but questioning.

Chanyeol chokes. “Baekhyun- Baekhyun, he –”

“Chanyeol?”

With a sob, Chanyeol chokes out, “Baekhyun broke up with me.”
