Masked love 🎭| Enhypen Sungwon

19

Tuesday after lunch, Jungwon walks down the hall to get to his locker. But before he gets there, he's pulled by the arm. He looks back at the one, not expecting to see him. "Jungwon.. Come on, I want to talk to you." K talks seriously, scaring the younger one. Jungwon nods. They go to a locked place. It was also the same place where Heeseung spoke to him.

K looks at him angrily. "JUNGWON! DAMN WHAT DID YOU FUCK!? YOU RUINED OUR ENTIRE PLAN!!" He screams and clenches his teeth.

Jungwon stares at the ground then his head is pulled up by the other. "Look at me!! Now it's all screwed up. All because of YOU! I talked to the clan about it. YOU'RE JUST A NUISANCE! AND YOU'RE NOT PART OF THE CLAN ANYMORE, UNDERSTOOD!?" K speaks angry.

Jungwon widen his eyes at his words. He can't believe it. It's like his whole life is falling apart. Is him really that unpleasant? He loses the one he loves, and now all his friends. Those who have stayed with him for a long time. He can't understand and he doesn't answer. Tears form at the corners of his eyes.

"We don't want to see you anymore. Get out!!" K says and points to the exit. Jungwon sniffs and nods. He then leaves without saying a word. He couldn't stay in the college for the rest of the day. He left. Friday at lunch time, the group of 6 friends are happy. They are really happy that Sunghoon is back. EJ left the group to join his other friends, he was just to replace. Strangely.

But Sunoo noticed something from the other clan's side. "Hey! Did you notice anything?" Sunoo asks looking at the other group. They turn to there. "It's none of our business." Jay says and sighs. "I know. But why Jungwon isn't here?.. Since Wednesday I think." He says with confusion. "He's just sad" Jay scoffs.

"Don't mind him Sunoo" Heeseung said tapping his shoulder. "You know he's worth nothing." Jay says before eating. Sunoo stays silent. But he can't help but be curious. During the break, Sunoo walks towards Jungwon's locker. He finds him sitting on the ground, with a notebook in his hands. "Hey! Look at me, stupid" He says, less confident than usual.

Jungwon raises his head. Sunoo was surprised to see all his injuries. What happened? He has scratches on his cheeks and some are hidden by bandages. He still has the injuries from the punches. "Why don't you hang out with your friends anymore?" He asks, avoiding asking about his condition. Jungwon doesn't answer and looks at his notebook.

"Answer! Are you still going to do this?" Sunoo asks, having kept his annoying habits. "Speak stupid!" He asks again. Jungwon continues his drawing, as if he wasn't there. Sunoo kicks his arm that was holding the pencil. A trace that spoils the drawing to be created. "What do you want!?" Jungwon asks in annoyance.

"I want you to answer. Why aren't you with them anymore? You're no longer in the clan or-" "Yeah. You answered yourself. Now get out." Jungwon speaks suddenly, without sparing a single glance. Sunoo looks at him in surprise, he thought he was saying wrong. He's speechless at that. He watches him erase the pencil mark and then steps back to leave. He now walks towards the locker of the three friends.

Those who are in the same class. When he's there, they notice him. "Hey buddy!" Jake greets him happily. "Hi!! I have something to say." Sunoo speaks, not knowing whether to say that as good or bad news. "Go ahead say" Jay asks and smiles. "Well.. I don't want you to be angry.. that I'm talking about Jungwon." Sunoo begins.

The three frown just hearing that name. "I already am. What did he do to you to end this?" Jay says, annoyed. "Actually.. he's no longer part of his clan." Sunoo responds and is anxious to see their reaction. Jay starts laughing. "Good for him! He deserves it!" He says, happy. Jake smiled too. Sunghoon only frowns. Sunoo smiles, trying to do it well.

"I knew you'd be happy! Gotta go now, see you later!" Sunoo greets them, sort of happily. He loses his smile as he walks to his locker. He meets Jungwon again who now takes his equipment from the locker. Sunoo first has a feeling of pity for him. Without knowing the reason. Maybe his heart is playing tricks on him.

Monday morning, Sunoo is in the school playground. He's waiting for Jungwon. He thought a lot during the weekend. After seeing all his injuries, he feels sorry for him. In addition to having been rejected, he no longer has any friends. Unless there are others, but it doesn't seem like it. He stays alone all the breaks. While he was thinking, he regains consciousness when he sees him.

He approaches him. "Hey Jungwon" He says and grabs him by the shoulder. The youngest doesn't look at him and continues to walk. Sunoo makes him stop and brings him by the arm. "Let me!" Jungwon says trying to leave. "Wait!" Sunoo continues to bring it until they are further away and alone. "What do you want!? Beat me up!?" Jungwon asks in frustration.

"No I-" "Don't lie! Do what you want with me. I have nothing to do anyway!!" Jungwon screams and Sunoo can see the pain in his eyes. He really seems not fine. "That's not what I want to do." "Then let me go!" He still tries to run away. But Sunoo doesn't let him and tightens his grip. Then he realizes that it hurts him and lets go quickly. "Sorry it's not- Come back!!"

Sunoo runs after the other who runs away. "Jungwon! Stop Running!!" He asks shouting. He doesn't listen and keeps running away. They come out of college territory and go far. They run for a while before Jungwon suddenly trips and falls to the ground. Sunoo catches up to him a few seconds later. He catches his breath and squats down. "Listen to me" He said watching the other straighten up.

Tears fall to the floor, and Jungwon breathes hard. He shakes his head and stands up. He was going to run away but Sunoo was able to hold him. "Jungwon.. stop trying to run away!" "No! I.. don't want to talk to you!" He says looking at the ground, he sniffles. "Let me help you. You-" "No!! I don't need any help!" Jungwon tries to run away again. Sunoo grabs with two arms. "Keep calm! Please."

Sunoo looks at his eyes, he just wanted him to listen. Then Jungwon shakes his head. "I said no!! It's useless!" He says and steps back. "Let me go!! I can't take this life anymore!!!" He says and turns sharply to run away again. Sunoo quickly reacted and grabbed his uniform's sweater. "I won't let you kill yourself!!" He says and turns him towards him.

Jungwon stares at him, flat surprised. The tears hadn't stopped. There's a moment of silence, while Jungwon remains frozen. He can't believe that the one he hated so much was stopping him from killing himself. Yet it was his worst enemy. Time change so fast. Without realizing it, Sunoo had watery eyes and a tear fell from his eye.

They look each other directly in the eye. "I don't want you to die." Sunoo said in a broken voice. Then he steps forward and takes the youngest in his arms, letting the tears flow. Jungwon was surprised at this gesture. He doesn't move until he places his hands on his back and rubs it. They both cry, not for the same reason. But it was good to get that feeling out.

After a heartwarming moment, they pull away from the hug. "But.. why? Since when did you get attached to me?" Jungwon asks when his crying subsided. "I have something to say actually." Sunoo says and sighs. "I know I was really mean to you. I let off steam. Because actually...I have feelings for you." He says, already knowing he won't accept.

Jungwon was surprised. "I.. sorry I.." "Don't worry. I know you don't feel anything. I tried not to love you anymore. But it's so hard." Sunoo says and looks at the ground. Jungwon is disappointed for him. Obviously, he has no feelings for him. But he feels bad. "Sorry. Maybe.. we could.. be friends?" He asks, uncertain. Sunoo smiles and nods. "I would like" He said, making him smile.
