He's Back |Park Sunghoon|

16

Sunghoon and Angelica walked into the chapel where Tyler's funeral was being held.

Sunghoon stopped as he noticed the many people from his childhood.

His father's men stood about conversing quietly and Sunghoon's breath hitched in his throat.

He felt like he had traveled back in time.

Some people's eyes widened as they saw a fully grown Sunghoon walk in.

He still looked the same but with a different level of maturity.

His hair was longer than before showcasing his forehead, only a few strands falling in his eyes.

He hadn't been seen in that side of town for a few years.

For most of them, the last time they saw him was when Mr. Park was alive which was six years ago.

Angelica softly pulled Sunghoon to the seats and stood quietly a few rows behind Tyler's family.

There were more people than expected at his funeral, consisting of close and distant relatives, and a few of his genuine friends.

Sunghoon and Angelica fully decided the night before to come to his funeral to pay their respects because he had saved their lives, even though that was hard to believe.

Angelica held Sunghoon's hand tightly as she heard Tyler's mother crying.

Angelica was never good at not crying in funerals, even if it was someone she didn't know.

Sunghoon confidently looked around as more people started noticing he was there.

He looked towards the front where Tyler's family stood around his open casket.

Sunghoon wondered if they should approach them or not, but then again it wasn't like he was Tyler's friend.

They hated each other.

He thought it would be hypocritical to go up to his family acting as if they were best of friends.

Angelica was also looking around. She spotted a familiar face in the crowd and she cautiously stared at him.

He was one of the men that held Sunghoon back that day. Down in the training room.

She looked away before he could notice her looking and took a subtle deep breath.

Spotting that man in the crowd brought back a memory she did not want to recall.

All the sobbing and the small talk that was surrounding her was starting to make her feel suffocated and the smell of the candles in the room was making her nauseous.

Sunghoon looked at her in worry as her face was starting to get pale again and she squinted her eyes at the floor to somehow get rid of her dizziness.

"Are you okay?" He whispered in her ear and she looked at him and nodded in reassurance. "Are you sure? Do you want to go outside?"

Angelica debated for a few seconds as she felt bad for only stepping inside for two minutes.

What type of paying our respects is that?

She shook her head 'No' and Sunghoon stared at her for a few seconds, as he wasn't convinced.

After a while he nodded his head and looked forward again, noticing everyone start to sit down as the Pastor stepped on the altar.

They walked out of the chapel with heavy hearts as they remained with the speeches his family members made.
