Yeonwoo was walking alone, and Junhyuk left him.
“Let's end our friendship”
Yeonwoo won’t lie, it destroyed him, his best friend of years just left him away. He was so used to having him next to him, walking to their house, it was relieving, it meant he wasn’t alone.
Yeonwoo always thought that no matter what happened, and even if Hanseol left him, he would always have Junhyuk next to him. They shared too much to just break up suddenly.
But it happened.
Junhyuk left him.
Why did he leave him?
What wrong did he do?
He thought about it again and again, was he a burden? Did Junhyuk get bored of him? What if Junhyuk became disgusted with Yeonwoo…
Is he too dirty for him…?
Did Junhyuk realize how bad of a friend Yeonwoo is?
Yeonwoo walked in the dark streets leading to his home. Study sessions are canceled for the day, Heasol has something to do, Nari has to cram, and Jinwoo and Yesung went home together.
And well… Junhyuk ignored him as always.
Yeonwoo was still wearing his eye-band, as many were disgusted with his beaten eye. (Or rather, he was anxious about people’s look at him.)
Steps were heard behind him, but it was normal, it was a busy night, despite how dark the streets were.
Suddenly, a hand gripped his shoulders.
“-Yeon Nyeon~ fancy seeing you.” So Hyeon Jun appeared in front of Yeonwoo.
Yeonwoo stilled in his place, his face grew paler by the second, as his eye locked with Hyeon Jun’s.
“-Oh, you’re not greeting your boyfriend?”
Yeonwoo felt that he was dragged away, he was unable to say a word, his breathing was ragged, and his hands were shaking.
Someone help…
Help…
Help...!
“-I missed having fun with you, wanna come to my house?” Hyeon Jun started dragging Yeonwoo on the opposite road of his house.
And Yeonwoo stood helpless, unable to say a word or scream.
He didn’t know what to do… it’s not like anyone would care if he got hurt again, Junhyuk made it clear.
Soon, Yeonwoo found himself in So Hyeon Jun’s house.
What was he doing here?
“-I-I wanna leave…” He looked down, fearing the worst.
He still remembered the last time he was alone with him. He wasn’t alone… he was…
“-Leave? But the fun just started.”
Hyeon Jun locked the house’s door and started typing on his phone.
“-I heard your friend’s knee healed, did you know that I was careful to not break it again?”
Yeonwoo began panicking. He was gripping himself.
He continued talking and talking. He didn’t care about Yeonwoo’s lack of answer, he was in a good mood.
“-But I did break his hand.” He added.
His eyes widened when he heard that, Hyeon Jun was the one to beat Junhyuk up…
That’s… that’s why he left him…
Yeonwoo brought nothing but pain to all his friends…
First Junhyuk’s knee and dream, and now his hand…
Next time… it will be his life?
Hyeon Jun put his phone down and walked toward the crying Yeonwoo.
“-Shall we start? This time… I will make sure to take great pictures…”
When Yeonwoo regained his consciousness, he saw many silhouettes on top of him.
“-Smile for the camera!” Hyeon Jun’s voice rang next to his ears.
That made him realize that he was still stuck, he was still held.
Yeonwoo heard his screams come from his mouth, it was rougher than back in middle school.
It was too much.
“-S-Stop… P-please!” He hated how he stuttered, he hated how he was easy to hurt, and he hated how scared he was.
If only he managed to die.
Would that be too much to ask now? To die? At least Hyeon Jun would be accused of murder.
Would he get arrested? Or another will take the blame.
Yeonwoo doesn’t want to have someone innocent take the blame.
But does he care?
Can he bite his tongue and die?
He wants to die.
“-Let’s take a break, tie him up.”
Hyeon Jun’s voice again, Hyeon Jun said, Hyeon Jun beat did, Hyeon Jun hurt him, Hyeon Jun touched him.
Yeonwoo grew to despise So Hyeon Jun, he wanted him dead, he wanted to be dead, it was the same idea in different fonts.
Both will be brought with pain, but the difference is who is the victim.
Can Yeonwoo be for once something else than a victim?
He was so tired.
His eyes went through the room, it was Hyeon Jun’s house.
Fuck Hyeon Jun!
Yeonwoo’s body ached, it felt familiar… did Junhyuk’s beating feel the same? Is he feeling the same pain as Junhyuk?
He deserves it… he made his friend hurt. If only he hadn’t befriended Junhyuk from the start. But wouldn’t Yeonwoo have died years ago if he wasn’t friends with him?
Why is he even thinking of Junhyuk, he is getting… hurt…
Does Junhyuk think of him?
Tears started falling from Yeonwoo’s eyes, he wanted Junhyuk’s hug… Junhyuk always came to save him… why isn’t he now?
Junhyuk…
The next time Yeonwoo regains consciousness, he is in a room, a familiar one. It was not his…
Junhyuk? It’s Junhyuk’s room.
Yeonwoo got up quickly but forgot what happened to him. A scream left his mouth when he felt electricity go through his back.
He choked a sob, as he forced himself to get up.
Quick steps were heard outside of the messy room, and Junhyuk finally appeared.
“-Yeonwoo…” He looked heartbroken, tear tracks filled his face. Junhyuk looked like shit.
“-Sit down… I will get you something to eat-
-P-please… D-Don’t leave m-me… I’m so-sorry…”
Yeonwoo fell on his knees and begged, despite the pain going through his body, like a fire slowly consuming him. He was holding onto Junhyuk’s pants, trembling.
His fingers were bloody, and his hands were shaking.
“-I w-will be be-better! I swear!”
Yeonwoo was destroyed, he was touched… he was hurt… and now Junhyuk finally looked at him, finally talked to him.
Just like in middle school.
Junhyuk looked away from Yeonwoo, why is he like this?
Does he hate Yeonwoo now? Was saving him maddening?
He must hate Yeonwoo because he had to touch his dirty body to get him here.
"-Please! A-Answer me!" Yeonwoo begged. He was desperate to hear another word from Junhyuk.
He wanted Junhyuk to look at him, and tell him that it was going to be alright, that he was going to protect him again.
Junhyuk didn't answer, he simply walked away from the room and returned to his kitchen.
That left Yeonwoo sobbing, and trembling.
He was alone now... Not even Junhyuk would want to see him... He was that useless and dirty...
If only he died...
The world would definitely be at more ease...
If only he was dead.
