Chapter Text
They were sitting in the living room, researching things about Korea - the places they could visit, some good restaurants, and beautiful places with a nice view. They are searching and saving everything that looks cool. So when Thame came back, everyone looked at him, and the words fell silent.
Thame was crying.
Not in a calm way, he can't take a breath. Without thinking, we all hugged him. He said that Po broke up with him. He didn't know what he had done wrong, he was lost, he was hurt. Everyone was shocked because no one expected this.
They sat by his side until he calmed down.
After Thame fell asleep, Jun and the rest group went to their rooms. Jun sat on his bed and looked at the wall in front of him. He tried to understand what happened between Thame and Po. He didn't think that this could happen, he knew how much they love each other, so why did they break up? Po wouldn't break up with Thame without a really good reason, he wouldn't break the younger heart just because - something is not right here.
He picked up the phone and dialed the number for Po.
Voicemail.
He tried a second time - voicemail again, and again and again.
Jun feels afraid.
What if something happened to Po, what if he's alone now?
What if… what if he did something to himself?
Didn't think too much, he took his car keys and went to his car. Thame had us, the whole Mars, but Po.. did he have someone or was he crying alone?
He tried to drive calmly, but his thoughts were spiraling in his head. He knew that he should be angry because of Thame - he was, after all, his friend longer than Jun knew Po, but the older boy in this short span of time had become close to him, and even if he tried to kill his feelings for Po, he still felt this way. He didn't try to take advantage of this situation because he knew how much Thame and Po love each other, but he couldn't leave Po alone.
He finally reached the building where Po lives. He got into the elevator and, with trembling fingers, chose the floor where Po’s apartment is. After the elevator reaches the floor, he runs through the hall.
He stood in front of the door and he knocked.
Quiet.
He knocked again - quiet again.
- Po, open the door - Jun shouts, knocking again - Po, it's Jun, please open the door - he shouts again, louder this time. Again nothing. He needs to check if everything is okay with the older, so he tried knocking again. He didn't even know if the boy was in his apartment, but he didn't know where he should look for him. So he stood in the hallway and was waiting for something.
After some seconds, he knocked again, and he checked if the door maybe are open.
The door opened.
Jun sighed. He pushed the door wider, stepped inside, and looked around.
- Po? - Jun shouted as he went further into the apartment. After a few steps, he saw the boy lying on the floor, with swollen eyes. This sight broke Jun's heart, he looked even worse than Thame. He went over to the boy and knelt in front of him.
- Po, wake up - he put his hand on Po's shoulder.
Nothing.
- Po, you need to wake up - he said this lauder, and he saw a little movement. After some seconds older boy opened his eyes.
- Jun? What are you doing here? - He asked with a hoarse voice. He looked so small, and lost.
- I needed to check how you feel - Jun answered, helping Po sit. - We don't need to talk about why this happened, but I'm here to help you - Jun said.
Po looked at him, conflicted.
- You should be with Thame now, he needs you more than I - he said after some minutes looking at the floor. This broke my heart. Even now, he thinks about Thame instead of himself.
- But you are hurt too, and Thame is sleeping now, and if something happened, the rest of the boys are with him. - Jun looked at him. - You need someone too, we need to stand up, so we move to the couch, okay - he stood up and he held out his hand to Po.
The older boy looked at him, and he took his hand. Jun slowly helped Po stand from the floor, and they moved to the couch. Po was so miserable. He was trembling, so after Jun helped Po sit down, he went to Po's room to get a blanket. When he finally found and back to the boy, he was crying again.
Not thinking too much, he sat beside and threw a blanket over Po's arms, and hugged him.
- Everything will be okay, you both will talk and find the solution to whatever happened - Jun whispered, holding Po tightly.
- I needed to break up with him, 'cause.. - he looked at Jun with eyes filled with tears - Because if I hadn't done it, everything he worked for would have been wasted - Po tried to take a breath between the words.
Jun didn't know what to do, so he just hold Po strong in his arms.
- Because of us, me.. - he tried to take a breath - Pepper and Gam needed to break up, because of this, you guys can have a problem with going to Korea, because of me, all of your, his dreams.. - the tears falling on Po's face. Jun didn't needed hear more, after this he knew who stand behind their break up.
But he can't do anything.
He can't do anything for them.
And that was the worst.
Both of his friends are broken, sorrowful, and no one can do anything.
- Jun, I'm a coward, i should fight harder but i can't be the reason he lost his dream - Jun looked at Po - I know he is hurt now, i know he don't understand why this happened, but please promise me that you guys help him to be happy again, that you help him reach his dream just promise this to me Jun - words stuck in Jun's throat. Po looked at him with a mix of emotions.
Jun nodded, didn't trust his voice.
- Thank you, - Po whispered, snuggling into Jun tighter.
Jun want to said that he will help him find the solution, will help him with coming back to Thame, but he know that would be hard. And not because of Thame, but just because of the company.
So he just hold Po, hoping that somehow he will be able to help..
