warning: car crash

yeosang held his head in his hands as the phone rang. wait for kyungmi to answer was more nerve wrecking than he thought.

"hello"

"hi precious, how are you"

"good! i go to a script reading soon. and me and yuna made up yesterday! also! i saw renjun is coming out with an album"

yeosang sighed, of course she saw. "yeah, that's actually why i called. mimi, i don't think you should see renjun. anytime soon"

"wh- but ma and pa said you were planning it"

"i know, but i just- i c-can't do that right now"

"why not? i miss him!"

"i know bug, but i really c-can't theres- theres just s-so much happening right now-"

"that's not fair yeosang!"

"precious-" she hung up.

yeosang dropped his head back into his hands, crying hysterically. she doesn't know the full story because he didn't want her to think badly about renjun. he was one of the first people she met when she moved in, he's made an impact on her.

"hey, how'd the c-" junho walked into the bedroom, cutting himself off when he realized his boyfriend was crying "oh, baby..." the taller wrapped his arms around yeosang, holding tightly as he let him cry on his shoulder.

"i-i can't, i c-can't stand h-having him i-in m-m-my l-life anymore!"

after yeosang calmed down some, yeji made him some tea, yunho got his favorite snacks. they all sat in the living area and waited for him to say something.

"yeosang..." yunho spoke softly

"i can't anymore..." the younger whispered, staring into nothingness.

"can't what sangie?" yeji asked

"i can't go one day on social media without seeing his name n-n-next to mine, at least f-five times. i can't post without p-people mentioning him. i don't want to be as-asso-associated with him. and yet, he s-still c-comments. he s-still has my sister wrapped around h-his f-finger"

they all just sat there not knowing what to say. this is a new game of manipulation and overstepping boundaries. and it's clear that yeosang has had enough.

"i'm gonna go skate" everyone watched as yeosang grabbed his skateboard and put his shoes on "i'll be back later"

"be safe" junho insisted, receiving a nod before his boyfriend left the apartment.

"he hasn't been skating in like, years" yeji pointed out.

"this is fucking with him a lot more than i expected" yunho sighed and stood up.
