"how do you let go of the person that felt like home?" - hwamin
"how do you say goodbye when your heart still wants to hold on?" - junkyu
hwamin and junkyu, childhood sweethearts once dreamed of achieving their idol dreams together, but what happen...
you brought your knees up to your chest, attention focused on the TV where a live broadcast of your boyfriend, junkyu, and his group mates, treasure, was airing.
junkyu was always super excited to do any show but this show had him, and the entire group for that matter, on edge.
the reason being that one of the hosts was a very questionable person. the host, jin, made comments that made many of the public feel uncomfortable and even with all the outcry, he was still appearing on TV.
The night before as i sat with the members, talking and trying to relax for the night, the boys couldn’t stop worrying about how they were going to handle any concerning comments that came from that particular host. hyunsuk and junkyu were trying their best to give words of encouragement and disperse the worry but you could tell junkyu's mind was running a 100 miles per hour with the same worry as the other members.
they finished with their introduction segment and moved onto the first topic. during the entirety, you tried to focus on what was being said but all you could really focus on was junkyu. the other members had taken hyunsuk and junkyu's advice to just do the interview as normal and for the most part, hyunsuk looked like he had also taken his advice. but junkyu was a different story.
he sat between mashiho and jihoon but you could tell his mind was analyzing every word coming out of every mouth in preparation to combat any wrong comment. junkyu was physically there but mentally fighting a war that hadn’t even happened yet.
you pouted in concern but that was all you could do. the broadcast was live. all you could do was sit and watch and hope that the rest of the broadcast went without a hitch.
but of course, your hope was soon crushed.
it was the third and final segment called ‘i adore.’ you knew about this segment because the some of the members had asked your opinion on if their items were 'okay’ as an item/hobby/thing they adored. and because junkyu had asked your permission to use a picture of the two of you. you didn’t care, the public already knew about your relationship. one more picture wouldn’t hurt.
the members went through their 'i adore’ stories one by one and somehow junkyu was picked to go last. probably because of the picture.
a picture of you and junkyu out on a date a few weeks ago pops up on the screen and the two other non-problematic hosts, hangyeol and kwangho, cooed at the picture.
“would you like to explain, junkyu?” hangyeol gestured towards junkyu.
you watched as he pulled himself out of his war with a deep breath.
“yes, well, i adore hwamin.” junkyu leaned forward, resting his forearms on the table. “i adore her a lot but i couldn’t bring her here so i brought a picture instead.”
“this is a good alternative.” kwangho commented, “when was this taken?”
“a couple weeks ago.” junkyu answered right away, “we were out on a shopping date looking for mashiho's birthday gift, i think. she was feeling cute so we took a lot of pictures.”
