hyungwon put the last item into the cardboard box without even looking, and quickly handed it off to the man in front of him. “that’s the last of it.”
“all of it?”
“all of it.” hyungwon’s voice was void of emotion, the icy tone he used for someone he was close to would surprise anyone, including hoseok who frowned at the younger’s tone.
“did you check the other box to see if i got everything? it’d suck if i forgot something and-“
“i said that’s everything, wonho.”
wonho.
hoseok frowned at the use of his nickname and quietly picked up the box. “right.” he made his way to the apartment door, one he was all too familiar with.
before twisting the knob and leaving, he paused, turning around. “i…” he didn’t know what to say. “i hope i could see you again, wonnie.”
hyungwon flinched, almost unnoticeably, at the pet name. “i don’t know, wonho.”
they were both silent, hoseok standing there holding the box filled with his things looking at his now ex-boyfriend, who wouldn’t even look him in the eyes, the eyes that once looked at him with so much love and adoration.
“hyungwon, i…”
i love you.
“i’ll see you around.”
i don’t want to go.
“bye, wonho.”
i don’t want you to go.
hoseok opened the door, hesitating for a bit. he waited, almost as if he were waiting for hyungwon to stop him. to wrap his arms around him and beg him to stay. to kiss him and tell him he forgives him. to say he loves him and that they could start over from zero.
it didn’t happen. a part of him knew it wouldn’t.
he walked out of the apartment, and inevitably, hyungwon’s life forever.
