I KNOW I LOVE YOU - YEONBIN

♡•°5°•♡

He shakily pulled his phone out of his pocket and struggled but tapped soobin's contact he raised the phone to his ear wrapping his free hand around his knees as he brought them against his chest.

"Hey yeonjun! Is the dinner over?"

Just the sound of soobin's voice made yeonjun crave his presence. He forced back a sob as he spoke.

"Soobin..."

"Woah, yeonjun what's the matter? What's wrong are you okay?"

The fact that soobin, a boy yeonjun had just met, was so concerned about him was the last straw. He choked out a strangled sob into his knees, his tears running free at the sound of his friend's voice.

"Yeonjun?! Hey, I'm here, what's going on?"

"s...soobin...p.. please...help me..." he choked breathlessly.

Soobin was pulling his shoes on and zipping up his jacket.

"Where are you yeonjun?"

Yeonjun blinked away his blurry vision and scanned his surroundings once more.

"i...I don't know...i...I just ran away.... i..."

"Hey, hey, it's okay yeonjun, just, tell me what you see okay?"

Yeonjun looked around.

"Th...there's a...a hotel...and...and a...noodle sh.. shop..." he whimpered fighting his tears so he could talk.

Soobin thought for a second before springing up.

"I know where you are, I'm coming to get you, don't go anywhere okay? I'll be right there." Soobin said before he hung up the phone and grabbed his keys.

Kai came running out of his room in concern.

"Hyung what's going on?"

"something's wrong with yeonjun, I'm going to get him."

"I'm coming too." Kai said determined.

"No hyuka, please stay here. Just keep your cell phone on and keep the door locked okay? I'll call you on my way back."

"Okay hyung...be careful please, it's already dark."

"I will, I'll be back." he said before rushing out the door and down the apartment steps.

He jumped into his car and sped into town past the movie theatre and down the street to yeonjun's location.

He spotted him curled up on the curb in front of the abandoned comic store. He parked the car and ran over to him feeling extremely worried.

"Yeonjun! Hey, it's soobin, I'm here." He said breathlessly as he crouched down next to yeonjun.

Yeonjun raised his head off his knees revealing his tear-stained cheeks and swollen lips.

Soobin gasped at the boy's appearance, also taking note of his different hair color but obviously not worrying about that.

"Yeonjun? Oh my god what happened?"

Yeonjun looked into soobin's kind eyes, his wet with more unshed tears.

He choked out another sob subconsciously scooting closer to soobin.

Soobin felt like he'd been stabbed in the chest. He leaned inward and took yeonjun into his chest holding him in a tight secure hug. He felt yeonjun melt into his touch, snaking his shaking hands around his waist and squeezing him tight, almost desperately.
