Chapter- 23
Unexpected

Hongjoong had been sitting in his room all silent as San is working in the kitchen. Things seem silent and normal for what's been going on actually. That's for external view though, internally neither party was silent. One was fighting from itself and the other couldn't understand how to fight for him. Hongjoong still has no idea about what happened last night but his conscience doesn't want to accept it either. Some weird strings feel loose within him and he feels like he can't move himself at this moment. However, Hongjoong still can think straight enough to wonder what to do.

The externally viewable silence in the house was interrupted by the ringing of Hongjoong's phone. Jumping slightly in surprise, Hongjoong looks around for the electronic device. Finding it under his own pillow with the muffled sounds, Hongjoong fishes it out of the place immediately accepting it and pulling the device up to his ear. The other side seemed rather out of breath though no pants could be heard nor gasps. "Oh, Jongho-yah.." Hongjoong trailed, his voice trapping within the confines of his mouth.

"Hyung...are you alright?" Hongjoong could make out the slight desperacy in the voice on the other side. Sighing, Hongjoong paused to recall last night's memories before he opened his mouth to mutter. "I...I'll tell you later.." Jongho's eyebrows rose in worry and tension, Wooyoung biting his lip at the view as concern laced through his orbs as well. "We're coming there only..tell us then maybe." Jongho informed about their arrival hearing Hongjoong hum softly before hanging up.

"Are they alright?" Wooyoung inquired, worrying lacing his vocals, eye scanning for any unusual activity from Jongho to guess. Jongho sighed as they continued walking. Not bringing the car was a bad option but somehow needed to stay unsuspicious. "That's what's bothering me...will it even be alright?" Jongho questioned, multiple worries and thoughts wiring in his head every other day. Wooyoung's eyes fell down staring at his feet as they came to a halt.

"It will be...but for that we will have to correct our mistake Jongho... everything that's happening started because of us..." Wooyoung mumbled in shame looking up at Jongho who shut his eyes for a second before sighing yet again and nodding. "Yeah, come on let's go. Hongjoong said he is gonna tell us what happened when we reach there." Jongho muttered lowering his head back through the rest of the walk to Hongjoong and San's place.

Thinking back to their words, Jongho's mind moved back to the time San lost the game. It was him who suggested that punishment...

He knows Wooyoung wouldn't let him think this way if he were to vocalize his thoughts to him, saying he wasn't the only one to be blamed. But if he spoke practically, its his fault. Yeah, maybe not his alone but surely his the most. 'You need to fix things no matter what Jongho.' A voice boomed inside his head, Jongho's eyes widening a little as he stopped in his tracks gaining Wooyoung's attention. "Jongho? What's wrong?" Wooyoung raised his eyebrows in question. Jongho looked up dumbfoundedly, Did i really hear someone?, Jongho questioned to himself. Maybe i'm just thinking too much into it. Jongho shook his head slightly muttering to Wooyoung, "Nothing. Let's go." Jongho started walking again, he must really be thinking too much.
