REBOUND : His Dirty Little Secret

Chapter 3: Brotherhood

Junkyu's POV:

"I'm Sorry,"

Two words. I only got two words as his reply to my text with his picture. Two fucking words! After months of torture, he just dropped me with two words! Not even tried to defend himself. By saying those two words were like admitting his mistakes, if he even considered it as one.

I was inside the YG building when the news broke in the internet. Jihoon and Jeongwoo were with me in the cafeteria having our brunch before our meeting with Sasangnim for a new project.

The girl posted the pic in Instagram tagging Haruto that's why automatically my notification alerted me right away. Seeing the timestamp of the photo, it was taken last night. I was able to Screencapture it before it was taken down an hour after. I was just about to wake up when I saw the notification. Imagine how I felt this morning seeing the post.

Numbness.... all over my body. I was just frozen holding the phone on my bed for 30 minutes. My mind was in haywire but my heart and body went numb. Good thing I had the instinct to capture it, knowing the possibilities of it being deleted afterwards especially when it reaches the company.

If not because of Jihoon's call I would have stayed that way til whenever. As if I moved on autopilot mode, I made it to the company fast and normal.

Sitting here with the 2 members, I showed them the photo of the insta post I captured.

"WTF!!!! Jeongwoo's voice boomed around the private room we were in. Good thing our usual room here at YG cafeteria was empty when we decided to take brunch first while waiting for Sasangnim.

I didn't have the strength to stop Jeongwoo for being loud. Jihoon on the other hand held my hand immediately and grab me for a hug. I was still numb. So he looked at me intently quite surprised to not see me crying.

I let go of Jihoon and started typing my message to Haruto for the last time. I attached the photo to avoid further discussion. All I need is to get away from him and totally end everything to the last string. I already knew this was coming, the moment he ghosted me, it was already a sign. I just went with the flow giving him every chances I can give to fully show him I tried to save Us, in case he will find his way back at the end. But this, is definitely the end of Us. This has been my worst fear the moment our meeting with YG happened 7 months ago.

I showed them Haruto's response which came after an hour. It took him an hour to come up with his sorry. I saw him already seen the text right after I sent it.

Jeongwoo was the one who reacted the most. Jihoon tried to act calm, knowing he should be since I needed him the most now.

"Fucking bastard!" Dissing Ruto in front of me with all the curses he can utter, somewhat pleased me knowing my inability to verbalize them right now.

I slowly held Jeongwoo's fist on the table preventing him to do something drastic. Reminding him of where we are at the moment.

"I backed off for him hyung! You both knew that! I gave way for him cause I know it's him that makes you happy." Jeongwoo suddenly became emotional.

"Woo, now isn't the time. We still have a meeting with Sasangnim. You need to get a hold of yourself for now. We can go directly to Junkyu's place after to properly discuss this." Jihoon convinced the younger guy. "Why don't you contact Jungwhan and Jae if they can follow later to Kyu's place. I'll take charge with Yedam, Hyunsuk and Dobby."

Woo reluctantly held himself and just obeyed Jihoon's instruction finally texting the maknae and Jaehyuk silently trying his best to keep his cool.

Normal POV:

Fortunately the 3 successfully finished their meeting without delay. They drove back together to Junkyu's place in one car, leaving both Woo and Jihoon's car at the company.
