Faded cries | minsung

🥀the pieces🥀

.6 years later.

Minho walked up to the front door cautiously, going up the stairs he knew all too well. He reached the door and knocked on it, waiting with a bouquet of flowers in hand.

The door opened and the face of his mother flashed a smile.

"Minho! It's been so long" she pulled him into a tight hug and Minho wrapped a hand around her shoulders, he was now much taller then him.

"I wish I could of visited more often..."

"Oh it's no trouble, come in, your dad is making dinner" she helped carry his luggage and he entered the house. He walked around the halls, seing old pictures of him and Felix playing outside.

"Do you need to sleep here tonight?"

"Oh no it'll be alright mom, I've already got a place to stay"

"I can't believe how much you've grown up" she pinched his cheek and went to the kitchen while Minho kept exploring the faintly familiar walls this house held. Naturally, he went to his old room, where almost nothing had been altered, it was still the same after all those years.

He looked at the video games they used to play together, him and Felix, but failed to remember his other partner.

He laid down on the bed and buried his face deep into the pillow, a faint smell coming to his nose, but he ignored it.

He came back downstairs and sat down with his family, just like they used to.

"So Minho, are you staying a while?" His dad asked cheerfully, but he stopped eating for a second and looked at the both of them.

"About that, I've got big news, I've been wanting to come here and say it so here it goes" he held his breath of excitement for a second and then looked up.

"I'm moving back in town, I already have actually, I just wanted to make sure it was permanent before anything"

"That's amazing!" His mother reached her hand out and took his in. Cupping it. "Did you already find a job? It must have been so sudden"

"Yeah actually I'm running my own business, it's going quite well"

"We're so proud of you, you've grown so much...I'm sure Felix would be very proud of you"

"He would...but what about you two? How are things going here?"

"It's calm as always, a lot of new kids are moving in the neighborhood so it's very alive now. What about you? Have you contacted any of your old friends, I'm sure they'd love to see you again"

"I haven't yet actually, but I'm planing on texting Hyunjin soon"

"Oh the blond boy that talked a lot?"

Minho chuckled, a faint memory from his laugh echoed in his mind. "Yeah, last time I saw him was one year ago I think"

"What about Jisung?" His mother asked full of hope but Minho just raised his shoulders.

"I don't know, we haven't spoken in a long time...things didn't really work out in the end, the long distance was too complicated so I decided to...cut him off" he admitted quite coldly, it was something he could talk about with ease even if his stomach felt strange when he did.

Jisung was his first love, that would never change.

But their lives did, in 6 years anything can happen.

"Oh well I'm sorry to hear that, I know how much you cared about him. After you left he came back quite a lot, we left him in your room, it seemed to cheer him up a bit"

"He still came by?"

"Yeah about every week for a month after you left but...after that he stopped showing up"

"Yeah.." things hadn't ended the best between them, it's not like their was any grudges on Minho's side. It did hurt, but it had been so long that it was only a distant memory.

They kept on talking about different subjects, mostly about how their neighbors dog kept going on their grass and small gossip that brought a smile to Minho's lips.

When it was time to leave, he gave them both a hug and went out of the door, watching the sun start to set in the sky.

He headed down the Main Street of the city, busy cars going over the speed limit and everyone walking around. He made a sharp turn once he reached his job and heard the music from outside.

The line on the outside was insane, it went down an entire block and he got in through the bodyguards. He made his way to the main floor and saw a sea of people dancing and yelling to the song that was playing, part of them at the bar.

"Hey boss" a guy said, so Minho turned his attention to him.

"Hey, update me" he replied quickly.

"Two bar fights, none of them too bad, a girl tried taking her clothes out and was escorted out. Oh and someone's waiting for you upstairs"

"Thanks, keep up the good work" he flashed him a smile and walked towards the elevator, going to the second floor where his room was.

He walked in to see some high heels on the side of the steps and a smirk came to his face, more then one pair.

He then saw two girls and one boy on the bed all giggling and talking. When they saw him they all looked at each other and smiled.

"Are we at the right place for a good time?" One of them winked at him and Minho simply took his tie off, starting to undo his belt while he looked over their bodies.

"You happen to be in the best place in town for that, why don't you all get your clothes off first?" he threw his pieces of clothing aside and joined them on the bed like he normally did with his guest.

Minho woke up with one of the girls in his bed, the two others had gone home. He groaned and got up with the small amount of sleep he had. He walked to his bathroom and the first things he saw was the tones of hickeys pilled on his neck, shades of red and purples making their way to his chest. He sighed and opened the cabinet, getting a small bottle and shacking it only to find it completely empty.

He let his head rest on the mirror and he groaned silently.

He got his phone out quickly and dialed a number he found saved on his phone.

"Hi, I need to get a new prescription, I'm all out..."

"Yes hello sir, unfortunately I'm seing on your file that you recently moved here, you'll need to get a doctor's note for it.

"No they told me I should be about to just go get one..."

"No we need to get you an appointment with a doctor for these medications, it will not take long"

"Fine...when can I come?" Minho tried to keep his eyes opened.

"Tomorrow at 6pm, does that work for you?"

"Yeah sure" he replied quickly.

"Alright it's all set for you, you'll be with doctor Han" he said.

"Alright" Minho hung up, not thinking twice about it, he just put his phone down and looked at the silhouette of the girl in his bed sheets. He didn't know her, he couldn't even tell you her name. This was something he would always do now that he owned the place. He didn't pay them or ask for them, they just came at his door step and asked for the owner, some knew the drills at this point.

Minho ruffled his own hair and looked into the mirror.

"Doctor. Han..."
