To Die For •Han Seojun× Lee Suho•

•7•

The light steps against the floor signalled someone was approaching them. Seojun looked behind Suho and a short person stood behind Suho's muscular figure.

Im Jugyeong.

Suho slowly followed Seojun's gaze and saw her looking back at him with her soft gaze and her lips stretched out in a smile. The tips of her cheeks tainted red. Her hazel eyes held the sparkle of the stars that Seojun had when he looked at Suho. Not that he knew how he looked. But when he saw the glitter of love in her eyes, it made him feel guilty for no reason.

She handed Suho an apple juice and her's being strawberry. She sipped cheerfully as Suho took his drink from her hands. Seojun did know what drink Suho liked but Jugyeong...it had just been a few months but she knew. Typical of Suho. Or did they hang around alot?

Like every other person who like their crushes, Seojun brushed it off as jealousy and overthinking. He grinned at her when she grinned at him and greeted him. "Seojun...can I borrow Suho for a minute?" She said.

Seojun nodded as he acted like he was rearranging his hair and mumbled a soft, "See you later," as he passed Suho. Jugyeong looked at Seojun and then Suho, "You guys are close enough to hang out together?" Suho shook his head. He kind of had a sad expression on his face. "You want to talk about it?" Jugyeong asked as she rested her hand on his shoulder. Suho stared at her for a minute and nodded as they started walking slowly.

"Seojun and I. We were best friends along with Seyeon. The three of us were inseparable. But then out of no where he confessed. He said that he couldn't take it anymore and he needed to get it off of his chest. So naturally we, drifted apart." He paused. Jugyeong looked at him with worried eyes.

"Then suddenly, he just...he stopped coming to us when the people in our school started bullying him. Someone had heard his confession to me. And him being...gay...they bullied him for that. But didn't tell us as we all drifted apart. Seojun was trying his best to talk to him and pull the three of us together but he just... Seyeon didn't co-operate. He said he wanted to have his own space for a while. We couldn't force him so we just did what he asked us to..." Suho's eyes filled with tears.

"He just...killed himself. Before he did, I was there. On that rooftop and couldn't approach him since I feared if I moved a bit, he would let go of the fence. And he said that, he couldn't bare it. He couldn't bare it when he couldn't love me. Because I didn't love him back. He wanted to get over me but he couldn't and the bullies were going overboard and the next moment. He let go...he let go..." Suho started trembling.

Jugyeong sighed as her eyes filled with tears too. She pulled him in a hug and Suho cried on her shoulder. She patted his back. "It's okay. He wouldn't want you being guilty for it. So you don't talk to Seojun because you think he'd blame you?"

Suho nodded, "I fled to Japan to avoid him. I left him when he needed me the most but I thought he would hate me to the point he wouldn't want to see me. Cause I killed our best friend."

Jugyeong shook her head as she pushed him softly and held his face on both hands. "Talk to him. I'm sure he wouldn't think that way. He'll understand. It's going to be okay. Everything is going to be okay." Suho's tears welled up again. Jugyeong smiled through her own tears as her heart pained to see him. But she had to be strong to help him. The person she loved...
