Who Do You Love? | Yeonbingyu

~*Thirteen*~

Soobin was in his new apartment in Ansan, unpacking. His dad basically breathed down his neck, as the boy pulled a clothing item out of his suitcase.

After he finished unpacking, he sat on his bed, waiting for his dad to finish the phone call that he recieved maybe 5 minutes ago. Soobin waited maybe 15 minutes, until his dad was back and off his phone.

"That phone that you have now, give it to me now. I got you a new one." Mr. Choi said sternly. Soobin was hesitaint, but knew if he took long, he'd get hurt. No one else hurt Soobin like his father did, which is why he can take others beatings, but not his fathers'. "I'm locking this one up in this safe in the wall untill your 3 years are over. I put your phone bill on a pause until you unpause it, and you will be meeting your girlfried tomorrow."

Soobin just gave a fake, awkward smile. He changed into a pair of shorts and a hoodie to sleep in, as it was nearly 11pm. He fell onto the bed, and as soon as his father left, he sobbed. Soobin sobbed until he had no tears left to cry. He couldn't believe that he was 4 hours away from his friends, couldn't believe that he has to date a girl, couldn't believe that his father doesn't support him in the slightest.

Soobin layed there for hours, no sleep crying. He stared at his picture with his friends and hugged it every so often. His insomnia kept him up until at least 5:30am, and he had to be awake and ready to leave his house by 9am to meet his new girlfriend.

~3 1/2 hours later~

"Dad, do I have to?" Soobin whined, while waiting in the park with his father. "You do as I say. Also, how come you were up all night?" Soobin chuckled, his dad knew nothing about him. Its because Soobin's father wasn't present very often in the boy's life. "Mainly because of Insomnia, and also crying to myself in bed until i fell asleep." The boy answered in a blunt tone.

After talking to his dad about his insomnia, Soobin heard an unfamiliar set of voices behind him. "Ugh, thats the brat I have to deal with?" One girl with a lot of sass said. "Yes, Yiren. That boy and his father will make us RICH if you marry him!" When Soobin heard that, he stormed off to the closest bench. Getting followed by the 'Yiren' girl had followed Soobin and saw how handsome he was.

"Soobin, right? I'm Yiren!" She said in a slightly cheerful voice. Soobin just stared at her with a disgusted look. "You're only in this for the money, huh? Like a gold digger?" She laughed, and then patted Soobin's shoulder. "Honey, no. I'm doing this, so that my MOM can have the money and stop begging off of me and my girlfriend, a relationship in which she doesn't support." Soobin then had a soft smile, knowing he wasn't the only one leaving his loved ones.

"Why are you smiling?" Yiren asked as fast as lightning. "I had to leave Busan, the city I was living in, and my two boyfriends for this. So seeing that someone else knows the hardships and pain I'm feeling, I don't feel lonely."

The two were smiling and became friends very easily. They talked for hours and hours and didn't leave each others sides for th whole day.

"I don't want to date and marry you, Soobin. I want to go back to my girlfriend soon, and I know you want to go back to your boyfriends. So lets just fake this whole thing." Soobin smiled at Yiren, but then looked down sadly. "You're right, but we also have to make it look as real as possible, that way, our parents will think we aren't faking."

Soobin walked Yiren back to her house, and went back to his own. He had walked in to his father smiling. "What?" Soobin asked, confused. "You still have the Choi Charm. I'm so happy that you and Yiren are getting along." Soobin walked past his father, to his room only to be followed.

"What do you want, Appa?" Mr. Choi sat on Soobin's bed. "Do you like her?" Soobin chuckled and then shook his head. "We could go a long way as friends, but we need a while before we can like each other romantically." His father shook his head. "So naive, just like your mother. We were engaged for 7 years before she actually started planning a wedding. You want to actually make sure its meant to be, huh?" Soobin nodded his head and then gasped.

"Dad, Dad! I have to call mom! She told me I have to call her every night before I lay down to sleep." He was right. She did say that. Mr. Choi gave Soobin his phone back. He saw how well Soobin and Yiren were getting along, and so he decided to let Soobin keep his phone.

Soobin added Yiren's number to his phone and texted her.

Soobin
Hey
Its Soobin.
This is my number, not the other one, so please text me on here.

Yiren
Okay
But why did you give me the other number if this is your real number?

Soobin
Because my dad didn't want me texting my boyfriends.
Speaking of, I should text them. Its been like 3 days since I talked to them last

Yiren
Be careful.
Let me know what happens!

Soobin had looked trough his contacts and saw that he had red circles next to his friends names.

Yeonjunie <3 has blocked you
Beomie <3 has blocked you
Eomma Mingi has blocked you
Sannie has blocked you
Tyun has blocked you
Kai has blocked you
Wooyoung has blocked you
Changbin has blocked you

'They...blocked me?' He thought sadly. He went over to all his socials and tried to send them all messages. Nothing but 'This user has blocked you.' Soobin punched his bed in frustration. He can't believe they did this. But he also left them on short notice.

He called his mom and she picked up immediately. Soobin told her how he was getting more and more depressed back in Ansan. He also mentioned how his dad took his phone away and how he has to date a girl and actually have feelings for her.

"Give me two weeks, Binnie. I'm coming to get you within that time. You're being tortured and I will confront you're father for that."

Q: Do you think Soobin's mom will be able to save him?

A: I personally don't know how its going to go as of publishing this chapter, but maybe it'll have a good turn for Soobin.
