YEARS APART

Reason

Hwang House
everything was silent, and only the sound of the wind could be heard inside that house. In the balcony, a person watched the snow, falling on the garden. red roses were all covered in white. it was a beautiful scenery which made that someone, sink in his own world of thoughts. hyunjin gazed at the snow pearls, truly adorning them. a servant entered his room. he placed the coffee on the table and bowed at hyunjin.

"is anyone home ?" hyunjin asked, coldly.

"no sir. the lady held a party for the new projet's succes and we aren't expecting her to come today either, as for the master". the servant stopped for a while, he was about to talk again but hyunjin interuppted him

"no need to continue, i got it". he signaled the servant to leave. "Way too busy for his own family, Tch. What was i expecting" he thought to himself. Hyunjin felt angry, sad, and disappointed. This life, many were ready to give all what they had to live like him, yet he would give anything to exchange this miserable life.
He turned back, and looked at Athiee's painting. It was hung in the middle of the wall, facing the balcony. He stepped closer, gazing at it.

"Admiring your own face ?" Felix said after entering the room. Hyunjin laughed and said

"Is there a problem with that ?"

"With a face like that, i don't see any problem" Felix said while placing the Brownies he made on the table. Hyunjin looked around, then asked Felix

"Where is chan ?"

"He left for some important things" Felix said with a straight face. As if he remembered something annoying.
"Is he really going to do it ?" Felix thought to himself.

In front of that big window, sat a handsome boy. He looked so focused on the view, giving a fearsome vibe. His eyes, hides the most.

Flashback

Chan was at Hyunjin's place, they had a discussion about everything, including Athiee. After ending the discussion, he went to the kitchen. Chan was drinking a cup of water, to satisfy his thirst.

"Chan...." Felix called chan's name, making the other turn his way

"Oh felix, you're here ?!" Chan said in a welcoming tone, yet surprised.

"Yeah, i am". Chan noticed the way felix talks, and knew right away that he was going to ask for answers.

"Why are you doing this ?". Without taking so long, felix asked straightforwardly.

"Why am i doing what ?" Chan played the dumb, however, he knows that he won't escape Felix's questions. Felix had a sharp view, when it comes to Chan's actions. The only one who could read Chan correctly, was him.
Felix leaned on the table, closer to where chan was standing. He gazed at him, and said

"Playing around with Hyunjin and Seungmin, making the atmosphere even worse, and always pushing Hyunjin to keep holding on the bet, want to hear more ?" Felix said while raising an eyebrow. Chan laughed, and replied

"Why are assuming that ? You started the bet, and i'm just enjoying it" chan said, his back facing felix.

"You're doing this for Inheyong, right ?"

A glass shattered on the ground after hearing that name. Chan's expressions changed immediately, and cold sweat fell from his forehead.
"Sorry the cup slipped from my hands" chan said coldly as he knelt down, gathering the glass pieces. He stood up again, threw the glass and washed his hands, then turned around to face felix.

"Ahh, after coming this far i don't think i'll have anything to hide. This bet that you started, is my only way to heal the scars and the wounds in both Hyunjin and Seungmin's hearts. I know, I'm being the worst, and the most selfish one by doing this,however i can't afford losing any of you, not another time". He took his phone, car keys and continued
