Chapter 22



Chanyeol chokes on his sob, wiping his tears with his sleeve while Kyungsoo pats his arm to soothe him. Sehun is staring at him silently.

“What happened with Baekhyun?” Kyungsoo asks softy. What’s with them and breaking up? Is it the newest trend going around here?

“He... He cried. I made Baekhyun cried- fuck, I’m sorry, Baekhyun.” Chanyeol sobs, rubbing his face.

Kyungsoo watches him in sorrow, before he glances at Sehun who has a difficult look on his face.

“Hun? Say something, will you?”

Sehun shakes his head. “I met Baekhyun a few days ago and he was waiting for you outside at bench at late night. He was freezing and you were not there, Chanyeol. I’m so disappointed with you.”

Chanyeol lifts his head up. “Late... night?”

“You forgot your plan with him. You forgot your every date and plan with him. Chanyeol, you are fucking dumb.” Sehun snaps at him.

Realization hits the tall boy as he gasps. “Fuck. We made that promise a week ago.”

Kyungsoo feels so bad. It feels like this is his fault. Well, not entirely his fault but if it’s not for him, Baekhyun wouldn’t break up with Chanyeol. Poor Baekhyun, that boy loves Chanyeol so much. To be the one to say the break up words must be taking his whole feelings breaking as well.

“I’m sorry.” Kyungsoo says softly, bending his head down.

Chanyeol shakes his head. “No, it’s not... not your fault, Soo. Everything is my fault. I’m a bad boyfriend.”

Kyungsoo sighs. “I will try to talk to Baekhyun tomorrow. I’m still sorry, Chan...”

After trying to calm Chanyeol down, Kyungsoo excuses himself to go back to the apartment. He has had enough of imposing on his friends, he feels so bad. Maybe he needs to manage this sadness alone.

Kyungsoo clutches onto his coat while walking out of the dorm with his head down. So many things are inside of his head; from his fight with Jongin hyung until the break up of his friends. What’s this? Is this the turning point in his life? Where he is being taught to be mature and to deal with big problems?

Halfway out he is out of the dormitory building, he bumps onto someone.

“Oh, I’m sor –”

“Kyungsoo.”

He lifts his head up, finding Jongdae to be the one standing there. Kyungsoo takes a step back, he gulps. Jongdae looks hesitant.

“Hi.”

“H-Hi.” Kyungsoo mutters, fiddling with his fingers. Jongdae rubs the back of his neck nervously, before he softly says, “Do you have some time right now? Can we talk?”

Kyungsoo looks up to Jongdae who is offering a hopeful look. He nods his head. Maybe it’s time to finish some problems.

They go to sit on the frozen bench and no one really talks for a few minutes. Jongdae steals some glances at him before he clears his throat to start talking. Kyungsoo stares at him expectantly.

“Um, I’m sorry. About the other day.” Jongdae mutters, looking apologetic and Kyungsoo has no heart to even refuse his apology.

“I just want to know… why would you do that?” He asks softly. Jongdae blinks. “You mean… kissed you?”

“Yeah.” There’s slight blush on his cheeks as he nods to what Jongdae clarifies to his question.

Jongdae hums, leaning sideway against the bench. “You just looked so cute. I couldn’t help myself. Sorry.”

Kyungsoo looks up from under his eyelashes. “Do you… do you like me?”

Jongdae laughs softly. “I admit that I have a slight crush on you. You are very cute, Kyungsoo, if you haven’t noticed yet.”

“I know,” Kyungsoo whispers with a tiny smile hanging on his lips, “people told me that a lot.”

Jongdae laughs again, a bit louder, and the sound makes Kyungsoo smiles as well.

“I’m really sorry though. I really don’t know you have a boyfriend?” Jongdae offers another apologetic smile. Kyungsoo hums. “I’m sorry, too. He hit you too hard.” He stares at the slight color left on Jongdae’s face.

“Nah, it’s nothing.” Jongdae waves his hand. “I got it coming for kissing someone else’s boyfriend.”

Kyungsoo smiles.

“Is he mad? Angry with you? Your boyfriend?” Jongdae asks carefully. Kyungsoo gives him a sad smile.

“Yes.”

“I’m really sorry. Should I talk to him? It was my fault, after all.”

“No, no,” Kyungsoo shakes his head, “this is something that I have to finish by myself.”

Jongdae nods. “Okay.”

The both of them stay without talking again and Kyungsoo heaves a deep sigh at the mention of Jongin hyung.

Jongdae nudges his side with his elbow. “Are we good now?”

“Good?”

“Yeah? I mean… I know it was my fault but I like having you as my friend. I don’t have any chance and I’m not that low to take someone’s boyfriend away.”

Kyungsoo offers him a small smile. “Yes, friends.”

Jongdae’s face lights up. “Thanks! Please tell my apology to him if you are fine.”

“Okay.”

After chatting for a moment, Kyungsoo waves goodbye to Jongdae and he walks back to the apartment, which he finds empty for once again. He sighs. No more tears are left and Kyungsoo curls on the couch in his self pity.

Reaching for his phone, Kyungsoo dials the numbers.

“Hyung, can you come and get me?”











“What’s happening?” Minseok hyung asks as he slips into his car. Kyungsoo takes a slight look on his brother’s worried face and he bursts out sobbing. There are still some more tears, it seems.

After spilling everything out to his older brother, it’s easy to conclude that Minseok hyung is fuming by the time he finishes his story.

“You are saying he had not answered your call after that day?”

“Yes.” Kyungsoo nods, snuggling into his older brother’s shoulder. Minseok pats his head while whispering soothing words into his ear. Kyungsoo is cute, even when he is crying is cute, but Minseok doesn’t want to see tears on his little brother’s face anymore.

“Should I kick his ass for that?”

“No, hyung. Don’t.” Kyungsoo grips onto his shirt.

“But, Soo, he is being a jerk! I need to teach him some lessons!” Minseok hyung roars.

Kyungsoo shakes his head. “It was kind of my fault. I’m not aware that my friend had a crush on me.”

“How’s that boy? Is he okay? Should I talk to him, too?”

“I had a talk to him just now. We are good now. He apologized and we are still friends.”

Minseok hyung sighs, releasing him and lifting his hands to wipe the tears away. “If I were you, I’m going kick Jongin on his crotch and tell him that he can go fuck himself.”

Kyungsoo chokes on his sobs, laughing softly. “Hyung, your language!”

“What? I’m not sorry! He is being such a jerk! And you are beign so stupid to just to tell me now!” Minseok hyung pinches his cheeks and Kyungsoo whines.

“Hyuuuunnnggg~!”

Minseok hyung laughs, caressing his little brother’s soft hair. “What are you going to do now?”

Kyungsoo sits back against the passenger seat. “Is Jongin hyung in his office? What do you think if I come there?”

“And what? To talk? Will he ever listen to you?”

Kyungsoo puts on the seatbelt. “I will have to try, hyung. I really need to finish this myself. I have enough of troubling people around me and dragging them into my problem.”

Minseok hyung’s eyes shine proudly. “My baby has grown up! You are so matured now! Where has my little clingy Soo gone to…” He fakes a sob. Kyungsoo giggles, wiping the dried tears away with his sleeve.

“Okay, take me to your office, hyung. I’m going to pay Jongin hyung a visit.”











Kyungsoo fiddles with his fingers along the drive back to his hometown. Minseok hyung puts on the music in the car to help him ease down but Kyungsoo can still feel his gut is wrenching. He is so nervous.

When the car drives into the building, Kyungsoo is shaking in excitement yet nervousness at the thought of seeing Jongin hyung after so long. Is he doing okay?

“Soo, are you alright?”

“I’m f-fine, hyung. Just a little nervous.”

“You will do well. If he doesn’t listen to you, call me. I’m going to beat him up and make him listen well.”

Kyungsoo cracks a smile and nods. Minseok hyung ruffles his hair before they make their way up to the office.

The walk towards the familiar office is nerve wrenching and Kyungsoo is this close in spinning around and running away. But, no. He needs to finish this. This has been dragged on for too long. He will have to act as an adult as a start.

Minseok hyung gives him a thumb up and Kyungsoo replies his smile before he lifts his fist up to knock on the door leading to Jongin hyung’s office. The muffled voice of ‘come in’ reaches his ear and Kyungsoo stops for a second to relish the fact that he and Jongin hyung are only separated by this thin door.

Pushing the door open, Kyungsoo greets the older male who looks shocked by his sudden appearance.

“Hi, hyung.” Kyungsoo forms a small smile, all nervous and scared.

“What… are you doing here?” Jongin hyung asks, eyes wide in surprise.

Kyungsoo hears the door closes softly behind him as he steps deeper into the office. “I want to see you and I want to talk to you, hyung.”

Jongin hyung says nothing and Kyungsoo feels a sense of dejavu creeping on him by standing in the middle of this office and looking all serious to talk about something. He remembers that time when he had come here to have a proper closure. It turned out well because in the end, Jongin hyung admitted that he loved him too and they got together because of it. But now, he doesn’t know how this will turn out.

“What do you want to talk about?”

Kyungsoo fiddles with his fingers. “Why don’t you go back home, hyung? I-I miss you.”

He waits patiently but Jongin hyung doesn’t give him an answer. He just stares at him. Kyungsoo bends his head down.

“And you don’t answer my text or calls.”

He stares down at his shoes, feeling so nervous and heart broken at the lack of response.

“I… I’m sorry, hyung. It was just an accident. My friend apologized and he said he was sorry about that. There will be nothing like that ever again.”

Kyungsoo feels tears sting in his eyes when Jongin hyung doesn’t even make a sound to acknowledge him.

“Hyung, s-say something.”

Jongin hyung sighs. “What do you want me to say?”

Kyungsoo lifts his head up. “Answer my questions? Or at least tell me whether you are still angry or not? Or tell me if you are doing fine? Are you eating well? Do you… do you miss me like I miss you?”

He still gets no answer and he squeezes his eyes shut, as tears roll down his cheeks.

“Are you… are you doing fine? Do you work too hard? You don’t forget your lunch, don’t you? Are you tired? Hyung, answer me, I just –”

A broken sob leaves his mouth.

“Jongin hyung, do you want to… break up with me?”
