The Only Sunflower Growing Beside Thorny Rosebushes [Enhypen X Male Reader]

"A Sunflower That Drooped Even In The Sun"

When M/N woke up,he knew that he needed to go to his cousin's house.He got dressed in black and went down the stairs "Can anyone drive me to my cousin's place?I'll need to bring the food auntie packed up for me,just in case I have to sleep there".Heeseung and Sunghoon stood up in unison,Heeseung got his car key as Sunghoon got the eco-bag with the food his mother packed for M/N.They went to him and gave him a nod before they went out,Heeseung turned the car on and started the engine "You guys can go in now,M/N can stay at the back so he won't feel suffocated if he's at the front".With haste,the other two went in and Sunghoon made sure he was at the passenger seat next to the driver's seat where Heeseung would sit in.It didn't take long for everyone to be buckled up in their seatbelt and the car to leave the driveway,Heeseung turned to the road and looked at the mirror "M/N,do you mind if I get the location of your cousin's house?".The boy nodded and gave his phone to him "I already pinpointed it,just follow the directions my phone says or you can just encode it in your car GPS if you need to",Heeseung took it and swiftly used his car GPS instead before he gave the phone back to M/N.Sunghoon looked worried as he turned to his back,he could see the sadness in M/N's eyes and he could feel it in him as well.

It didn't take long for them to arrive at an three-story apartment building,M/N went down with Sunghoon and Heeseung by his side.Naturally,M/N memorized which floor and apartment his cousin lived at so he went up the stairs without asking the receptionist for help anymore.The two followed behind him and felt a sense of being watched as they walked up the flight of steps,they stopped once they reached the third floor and headed for the apartment that had the plaque on its door that said the numbers '306'.M/N knocked on the door and instantly opened,he saw his male cousin who was 6 years older than him and started to tear up "H-h-hyung...".The other wasted no time to hug him and carry him since he was rather bulky "Its okay,I know how much it hurts",Heeseung and Sunghoon resisted to show signs that they felt bad to M/N but the boy's cousin could tell in one glance.

M/N's older cousin let them in as he carried M/N in his arms,he sat on the couch and comforted him as if he was a baby.On the other hand,Sunghoon and Heeseung were at the kitchen arranging the food containers.They felt their heart ache when they heard M/N's audible sniffs,Sunghoon went to the living room "Do you guys need anything?".The boy's cousin who was named Hwangjun nodded "Can you get me a pack of gummy bears by the cabinet?If you see a bucket of gummy worms,that's gonna be much better",Sunghoon instantly did as told and brought back a jar of assorted gummy worms.Hwangjun placed it by his side and sweetly pat M/N's back "Buddy,do you want to eat the gummies I used to bring whenever I came to visit you at your house?They always managed to cheer you up,didn't they?",M/N turned around as he rubbed his eyes "Yeah,I want to eat them".Hwangjun smiled and opened it easily with one hand "Here,eat your sadness away",M/N got one and chewed on it slowly since he was still a bit teary.Heeseung went to Sunghoon and pat his shoulder "Let's go outside,we should let him and his cousin have some time together",the other nodded before they went out.

Once they closed the door,they went back to the car.Heeseung sighed "I feel sorry for him,he's gone through so much by himself but he's losing more people in his life the longer his loneliness goes on",Sunghoon bit his lip "If only we had a way to help him that just be there by his side and comfort him,he's so miserable already".Heeseung pat his shoulder "Sadly,its all we can do.Only his family can do that because they've been with him ever since he was born,we only have the simple right to be their back-up support if needed",he got his phone since he was getting a call from Niki.He answered it instantly "Why did you call?",the other who was usually happy when he talked spoke rather seriously "We already got a funeral parlor ready for M/N's aunt and uncle,my informant said that they're getting the corpses ready right now.Would you mind asking M/N or his cousin to contact their other family members and inform them about it?The funeral parlor director said it would be open to them once it was night time,I made sure it was a private one and only M/N's family and friends can enter".Heeseung nodded "I'll get on with it,don't worry",he gave Sunghoon a stare "Stay here,Niki asked me to do something".He went out once Sunghoon gave him a nod,he went the stairs and was relieved to see that M/N seemed a bit happier.
