Judgement - Johndo

139

„So... what's going on? What's the situation that I got called over so suddenly?", Johnny asks, arriving at the Lee's house, just having gotten the door opened by Taeyong, Sicheng directly behind him.

„J-J-Johnny! Quick, we need to find him, we need to hurry! Let's go, go!", Sicheng stutters, completely out of it and wanting to get out of the door, past Taeyong who's trying to hold the younger back.

„Calm down a bit, at least let's explain it roughly to Johnny!"

Seeing this chaos Johnny just decides to make it short and throws Sicheng over his shoulder quickly, then walks into the house with Taeyong, closing the door behind him.

„Easy there little one, I haven't seen you this panicked about anyone else but Doyoung in all my years. Say, where is he? I thought you all are getting along again."

„That's exactly why we called you over. You need to help us find him, he ran away.", Taeyong starts, Johnny lifting one of his brows.

„I thought he was getting along with you and didn't have a reason to flee anymore? He told even me that part."

„It's not because of us or anything like that reason..."

Taeyong sighs, „To say it bluntly, you're the reason for this outburst he had. And it's somewhere understandable but also completely ... dumb? Pessimistic I would say as well. He's just given up on too much..."

„Wait I'm the reason? I haven't picked on him ever since that first meeting, where I went out with him alone."

„It's not that... let's just blurt it all out while I'm at it. Doyoung is in Love with you.", Taeyong says, just spilling it right away just as it is.

„Wait... what? You're joking right? He said... he doesn't think he could ever love..."

„Of course he would say that to you, after all his brain works that dumb sometimes. He probably meant with that rather loving someone else. Because he already fell for you a long time ago and can't let go, especially the more nice you were towards him now. Because of what you thought of him at first he tends to blame himself, in general thinks he's not worth loving, with everything that had happened in his past. He had a breakdown earlier where he went completely crazy, we couldn't convince him that the situation isn't as hopeless as he thinks it is. Then he ran away, saying that he would be better off dead with all the pain inside him and what wrongs he has already done. So that's why I'm saying he went completely through, he suddenly only saw this extreme way and no other solution anymore."

Johnny takes a Short Moment and breath, before asking further, „And then he just ran away?"

„Yes, once more. As you can see Sicheng is losing his mind in worries but neither can I say I'm not worried. I'm just better at trying to compose myself and keep at least the image of being calm."

A moment of silence starts in the hallway, Johnny now letting down Sicheng and putting him in his brothers arms, before turning around and opening the door. Without a word, Johnny leaves again.

„Taeyong, why did he leave so silently?! We should go look for Doyoung too, he-!"

„Calm down. We won't go after Johnny, let him handle this matter. He will find Doyoung and bring him back, alive."

„But he went without a word! What if he hates Doyoung again now!"

Taeyong lightly chuckles, even if he isn't in the mood to laugh that much.

„Win, you should know Johnny the best. I don't know him that well but I have a feeling, a feeling that tells me Johnny probably thinks about Doyoung in the same way."

„You mean...?"

„He probably loves Doyoung too. Yet because our dear brother said he doesn't think he's able to Love, Johnny has been concealing his feelings and still hoped somewhere in the back of his head, that he could make Doyoung fall for him. They're both a really dumb couple if my hunch here is correct."

„To be honest.", Sicheng starts.

„I'd rather have them being a dumb couple than Doyoung ready to commit suicide..."
