verivery || vous me manquez

section 2

yongseung was calling hoyoung repeatedly for the past hour but he got no reponse. then he gets angry and throws his phone away.

" where is hoyoung hyung? "

" don't be angry yongseung. we can't find hoyoung either. "

" plus why wouldn't any of us know he wasn't there? he isn't invisible guys? "

" I know...we were just too happy when we got our first win. "

" you think hoyoung hyung wasn't happy? "

" I guess now hoyoung can't even smile because we left him. "

yeonho glances at dongheon who is has a fight with yongseung and kangmin

" oh yeah? why are you acting like you didn't forget about his existance? "

" why are you yelling at us when you should be the one who can't forget any of us. "

gyehyeon rolled his eyes as he stands up to face dongheon.

" stop freaking out and yelling at us in panic. blaming each other won't help finding hoyoung hyung. so stay calm and waiting is the best we can do right now. "

" it's almost midnight now gyehyeon hyung, and we still didn't get any sign of hoyoung hyung. "

when gyehyeon was about to say something, hoyoung opens the door and walks inside the dorm without gretting them.

" hyung! where have you been? we were so much worried for you. "

" just going out to get my dinner? "

" why didn't you go with us...? "

it's because gyehyeon closed the door in front of me just like I didn't belong to verivery.

hoyoung didn't answer yeonho's question, he just quietly goes inside his room.

" great, now he is even ignoring us "

" he didn't say sorry to us, what a drag! "

yongseung and gyehyeon frown his face a bit when they realized hoyoung haven't greeted them like what he usually did.

the next day when verivery is doing a vlive to celebrate their second debut anniversary. hoyoung is smiling again unlike yesterday when he became completely emotionless.

" happy our second anniversary! "

but then hoyoung sits back a bit from the other members as he takes back his smile. he lost his concentration on the vlive a lot that yongseung has to call his name few times so that he can answer their fan's questions.

" what happened to you hoyoung hyung? you lost your concentration a few times today already? "

gyehyeon takes his chance to ask about his hyung's behavior lately.

" nothing, I'm just too excited for our 2nd anniversary. "

hoyoung tries to smile and his smile was successful to fool the others that he was fine.

did they know that they made him to be like this today and even after?

and the live ended as they will go back to their dorm now. and immediately just like a robot has it own control way, hoyoung becomes emotionless again. no smiling, no words coming out from him, nothing but completely silence...the scary silence.

" hyung? you are not smiling like when we were doing the live for fan? "

" don't care about me. "

hoyoung shakes his hand and left them four words before going out and heading to their dorm.

" is he mad at us? "

" why would he? "

" obviously because we left him yesterday, remember? "

" no, it just this isn't him. he never been this silent to us before? "

" and have we ever left him before? "

" just...he isn't that kind of guy who like to stay silence? "

gyehyeon crosses his arm then stands up in the middle of the groups who is talking about hoyoung.

" we don't understand him that much kangmin. in fact, have any of us asked about him instead of complain how he nags at us before? "

" and you are suddenly care about him now? "

" minchan hyung?! "

minchan comes inside as he shakes his head in disappointed with his members.

" why are you suddenly appearing here right now? "

" am I not welcome here? "

" no that's not what our mean. "

" you must mean that since now I know why hoyoun didn't want to tell you guys about his ankle injury. "

" what did you just say? "

minchan crosses his arm then talk with an angry voice.

" hoyoung had an ankle injury. did I say that clearly enough? "

" when did he had that? "

" two days ago, but I can tell that none of you know about it...

minchan smirks.

... what a good members he has. "

" that means...he was also hurt yesterday... "

minchan expression becomes strict right now.

" what happened yesterday? "

" he made kangmin fall on the ground so we told him to go and get the aid kit... he didn't tell us he was hurt, how can we suppose to know about that? "

yeonho tries to make them an excuse but then immediately can't deny anything by minchan's angry words toward them.

" have any of you ever questioned how could hoyoung know about your worry and your injury before? did he ask you about it or when you had a hard time, the first one you saw was bae hoyoung? find yourself an answer before you five talk to us again. "

minchan left dongheon, gyehyeon, yeonho, yongseung and kangmin with their mind full of strange thought behind to find his friend.

" hey hoyoung are you here in the dorm? "

the dorm greeted minchan with the silence like no one was here but he knows his friend, hoyoung was here.

" hey buddy? "

hoyoung opens the blanket covered around him as he finally answers minchan.

" yes minchan? "

" why didn't you tell me what you had been through all these day? "

" I don't want to bother you from resting. "

" you will never bother me hoyoung. next time just tell me okay? I can't stand seeing you being treated like that at all. "

" they hate me minchan... "

" forget about them. you still have me by your side. you don't need to care about them anymore. care about yourself hoyoung. they didn't deserve it after what they said about my best friend. "

" it's fine, really. "

" no, it isn't fine, if you were fine, why would you keep yourself silent and prevent yourself from smiling like that? "

hoyoung keeps his head down because he can't fight back minchan words.

why can he have a best friend like this when he is nothing but a burdensome?

minchan softly holds hoyoung shoulder and looks directly in his eyes.

" hey? why do you think you can lie to me? I'm your best friend hoyoung. if those people don't appreciate you then I will. don't be like this, those people is not worth to be sad for hoyoung. please? "

hoyoung smiles as he hugs minchan.

" thank you chanie. "

" I got your back buddy. "

I only have you in this world buddy.
