Summary
“I told myself it would be worth it, because I was promised that one day, I would get to share what was mine, but that day kept slipping further away, pushed back again and again until it stopped feeling real.” His voice finally breaks, roughened by the pain he no longer hides from Jake. “And somewhere along the way, I started to feel empty, like I was holding onto something that wasn’t even there anymore.”
Only then does Heeseung look at Jake, and whatever composure he has left begins to fracture.
“And then I fell in love,” he admits, the words quieter but far more vulnerable. “And suddenly I had a reason to try again, a reason to keep going, because I love you, and somehow you love me too, even when I felt like there wasn’t much left of me to give.”
Heeseung draws in a breath that does little to steady him.
“And then I had to choose. They made me choose.”
;
Four weeks after Heeseung left ENHYPEN, he shows up at Jake's door.

Summary
“Congratulations,” Heeseung says abruptly, and Sunghoon startles. He looks over, slightly alarmed, to see Heeseung blinking innocently at him. “On getting first,” he clarifies, smiling as though he doesn’t care either way.
Sunghoon grins in response, a good bit more cheekily than Heeseung. “Thanks,” he chirps, but his eyes narrow slightly. He’s sensing Heeseung isn't finished speaking just yet.
“Won’t happen again,” Heeseung continues in the same cheery tone of voice.
It takes him a moment to process this, and then—
Oh. Oh.
(Or: Instantly popular and yet seemingly standoffish new kid Heeseung's proving a bit much for his seat partner Sunghoon to handle, said new kid is just trying to get through his long overdue senior year in peace without any of his younger counterparts harassing him, and the universe always has another trick up its sleeve.)
