By Your Side

Chapter 10

It all happened too soon. Just a few days ago they were having a blast with the concert. The last day of the concert was too emotional and all were crying as their leader was about to leave them

Now they are in Vlive selecting a new leader already. Well, that's BTOB for you!!

Anyways after spinning the roulette, Minhyuk was selected as a new leader. Even though it was only for a short duration as he would also enroll pretty soon.

The day when they had to send Eunkwang off to serve the nation ..the dreaded day finally came. After living together for more than 10 years... I felt like they were sending off their own family member. So to say they were depressed and sad was an understatement

They were experiencing a roller coaster of emotions that nobody was able to explain in words. They were saying goodbye to their brother. Minhyuk was off to the jungle so he was not there.

They know that this separation was expected one day or the other and also that it was only temporary.. he will be back soon and they will be whole again. But they can't help but feel sad.

They all hugged him.. taking their time. And whispering the sweet words.

"Take care hyung"

"I will miss you hyung"

"I will join you soon Eunga"

"Don't worry, I will maintain the order"

"I will use your room now hahaha..." ( I think u can guess who said what)

Eunkwang said to take care of themselves and their group. And to Changsub and Sungjae "Guys I know that you fought and are not talking to each other right now. But don't drag it too much. I am sure it's nothing big that can't be resolved by talking. Please reconcile before it's too late. Sungjae, you know Changsub is also going to leave soon, right? Do you wanna send him off like this? Later you will regret not spending time with him. Sort it out soon." He said, patting Sungjae's shoulder.

"Changsub.. you too stop being stubborn and talk to him. You know you will miss him the most."

They both nodded but said nothing. Sungjae looked at Changsub to see his expression but the latter was not even looking at him. Eunkwang can only hope that they will sort it out soon. Whatever is going on. The next day, after the huge fight, when he came back to their dorm, he could feel the tension, as soon as he entered. He took the details from Hyunsik. He thought it would all be fine in 2-3 days, but he was wrong. It has been almost a week now and Changsub was still doing a very good job at totally ignoring Sungjae's existence and poor Sungjae was totally failing to get him to talk. So he can only pray that they resolve their issue soon.

After saying their farewell, Eunkwang went into the camp. They were all waving their hands .. but now he was not visible anymore.

It felt empty.

To be honest it was just one person leaving and they were 6 ( or 5 now that Minhyuk was away)

But it still felt empty and lonely without their hyung.

So when the manager asked what their plan was, they all were blank for a second, hesitating to leave and go back home, especially our vocal line as the home will feel very sad now... so Hyunsik suggested they all go to a restaurant/bar so that they can drink away their loneliness. Everyone agreed without second thoughts. Illhoon looked at Changsub for a split second before saying that he had a schedule that evening so he couldn't drink. Changsub would have totally missed it if he himself was not looking at Ilhoon. All this week, Ilhoon had successfully managed to escape any situation where he would be alone with Changsub. He was so not ready for the talk, and the big thing is he is not sure what to talk about. He tried recalling the events of that night, but his brain totally erased everything.
