25

I spent the next few days working on NEXUS.

Chan would often come by during his breaks to visit me and also bring me lunch and coffee in the evenings.

Many customers started coming and some of my art pieces even got sold.

It had already been 4 months ever since I moved to Australia and I didn't even realize time flew by so fast.

Everything seemed so peaceful.

I had started spending more time with Chan.

We'd go to the park on some weekends and he even took me to an art exhibition to help me feel inspired.

It was almost time for Halloween and Thanksgiving.

Felix would always come back home during this time so me and Chan were eagerly waiting for his return.

Hyunjin POV~

It's been 4 months...

4 fucking months ever since Hyein disappeared..

I wasn't able to keep hold of myself.

I fell into the deepest hole of anxiety and depression.

I'd always have nightmares every time I'd sleep so I stopped sleeping which caused me to get really bad eye bags.

Slowly this anxiety became the cause of my insomnia.

My health was at it's worse.

I'd even picked up the habit of smoking.

You may ask about work and my company.

Well, it no longer exists.

Yes you heard me right.

My company shut down since no one was there to manage it so workers started quitting and I wasn't in a state to go back so it all closed down.

I was in the house sitting in the living room with a bottle of whiskey and glass kept in front of me.

The only light which was switched on was the night lamp on the kitchen counter.

I had already drowned myself in alcohol and almost smashed everything in front of me as the feelings and memories came back.

I realized how unworthy I was and was about to give up on life when someone rang the doorbell.

I didn't want to open the door but if that person outside started banging my door it'll disturb my neighbours and gather attention and I didn't want that so I slowly got up and made my way to the door.

I opened the door only to be met by Felix.

I don't know what had gotten into me but out of reflexes, I pulled him up by the collar of his shirt.

"Y-you *sniff* it's you! Just because you allowed her to leave! I-i am in th-this state right n-now"- I managed to say before I dropped down onto the floor.

Felix didn't reply he just slowly picked me up and helped me go to the couch.

He helped me sit down and then sat down beside me.

"Look...it's I understand how hard it is for you right now, but have you ever thought how hard it was for Hye? She lost her kid who was not even born!

Can u imagine the pain and grievance she had to go through every time those memories of her motherhood came flashing back to her?

She deserves a chance to restart her life and detach herself from her past misery.

And here you are not giving a fuck about your health, drinking every night and you even picked up the habit of smoking!"

I was at a loss for words.

I decided to keep quiet and listen to what Felix had to say. 

"Take care of yourself dude...

Imagine how disheartened Hye would be if she saw u in this state!

I heard whatever happened to our joint company...don't worry you can take the position of the project director in my company for now and work there"- he said as he slowly patted my back.

I nodded my head as I thought about each and every word he just said now.

I had never thought of it like that.

What would Hye think if she saw me in this state?

"You are right...Thank you so much for helping me when I had no one by my side"- I said and hugged him.

"It's ok friends do that for each other"- he said slowly caressing my back.

I pulled away from the hug and said- "At what time should I come to work tomorrow sir?"

We both chuckled.

"Come at 8 am sharp"- he said and smiled at me before leaving.

I didn't stay up any longer and tried to sleep and surprisingly with all those sad thoughts out of my head now I was able to fall asleep almost immediately.

I woke up at 7 am the next day, showered and even made myself breakfast.

I got ready in my suit and went to work.

To my surprise, Felix was waiting at the lounge and greeted me when he saw me.

"Looking fresh!"- he said as he guided me to my office.

"This is your office call me if you need any help your assistant Maya will be here by 8:30 so you can ask her your schedule k?"

"Yes ok thanks!"- I told him as he walked out of my office.

I went inside and looked outside the window.

It had a full view of the city.

I took a deep breath and told myself that I'd work hard. For Hyein.

━◦○◦━◦○◦━◦○◦ TIME SKIP ◦○◦━◦○◦━◦○◦━

Felix had come over during thanksgiving as promised and spent it with his family and Hyein and Chris.

It was a joyous time since occasions after occasions were listed during this time of the year.

Christmas was around the corner and so was new year.

Months passed by in the nick of time without anyone even realizing it.

Hyunjin had quit smoking and stopped drinking regularly as well.

He had overcome his anxiety and depression and was working hard now.

On the other hand, Chan was slowly falling for Hyein and had even decided to ask her out once the clock hit 00:00 on new year.

New Year~
Hyein POV~

Chris took me to the amusement park for new year.

We spent the entire evening enjoying the rides and eating various food.

At around 11:59 pm when there were just 10 seconds left for the clock to hit 12 we were standing in front of the fountain with multiple other visitors and counting down the time.

As soon as I said zero Chan pulled me by my wrist and grabbed my waist and KISSED ME?!

Right then the fireworks went out in the sky and everyone shouted "HAPPY NEW YEAR!"

I pulled away from the kiss and looked at Chan shocked.

I mean he is my best friend how could he do this?

"I'm sorry for making you so confused but first of all Happy New Year and secondly...Hyein-ah...

ever since you moved into Australia and spend more time with me I didn't realize when or how I slowly fell in love with you.

Every time you'd smile it warms up my heart and every little thing you do makes my heart flutter.

I know it's weird for you to listen to all this especially when it's me telling them but...

Hyein...will you be my girlfriend?"- He asked me.

I was taken aback by the entire situation.

"I-i don't know Ch-chan. I've never liked you romantically and I'm still not over Hyunjin yet...

I know sounds silly and all but even if I am over Hyunjin I am not ready to be in a relationship right now..."- I told him.

"It's ok I understand but um maybe we can try it out? If it doesn't work out I'd not force you"

"Ok I guess?"- I agreed to his proposal since I felt bad to turn him down like that..

"Thank you so much!"- he said and engulfed me in a hug.

I was just too shocked to process everything at that time so I didn't hug him back.
