Livin' With The Stray Kids

Chapter 30 (Part I)

The first thing Minho saw when he opened his eyes, was the empty ceiling. He tried to get up but his head was slightly spinning as everything else infront of him was blurry. He winced at the pain in his whole body.

Ji Yung quickly noticed this and got up from her chair, helping him up.

"Wh-at happened?" His voice came out hoarse, but he was concerned about this one person. Han Ji Sung.

She hands him a glass of water and Minho takes it, drinking sips from the glass, feeling better but it didn't quite help the pain in the joints of his body.

"Na Yun jinxed your drink, you were not in your senses and—"

"Where's Jisungie?" He asked, as the incident flashed in his mind. He remembered Han's face turned sour when he had seen everything happening back then. He was worried that the younger was going to do something rash. And he had to talk to him, tell him it was all a misunderstanding.

"He's gone." Ji Yung breathed out.

"What?" Minho's eyes widened as he looked at her confused. "What do you mean he's gone?"

"He wanted a break from all of this, so he went to Malaysia for some time." Ji Yung answered as inside, she was afraid of Minho's reaction to this.

"What? I'm calling him." He tried to reach over his phone and dialed his number. He frowned as it beeped a few times and was automatically disconnected. "Why is- what happened to his phone?" He said in a more quieter voice. Minho was starting to panic now.

"He cut off all contacts with us for some time. You will not be able to contact him for some time."

"Some time....." He chuckled with a sour expression on his face. "Some time WHEN??!!" he raised his voice but it broke at the end.

Guilt washed over Minho, as he realised Han had left. It may not be permanently but he was the reason for that. Minho just made everything worse by denying his feelings. He just ruined everything.

"Whatever. It's not like I'll die here without him." He gulped down the knot in his throat and ignored the ache in his heart, looking away from Ji Yung.

"Minho....." She started softly. Ji Yung completely saw through his fake facade, her eyes fell upon his hands shaking slightly. "Jisung will be back soon....."

Minho didn't answer her. Instead a tear trickled down the corner of his eyes. "Soon...." He whispered. "Ji Yung-ah, pl-ease....I cann-ot w-without him. P-Please bring h-him back. I'll apologise. I'm going t-to say so-rry to him. Ple-Please tell h-him to come b-back." He stuttered over and over again.

Minho missed Jisung. And he couldn't deny it. Hell, he didn't want to deny it. He wanted Jisung, right now, in his arms. He just wanted to apologise to him in every way possible. It made him so anxious to stay away from him. He wanted to hear his voice. He wanted to feel his warmth. He wanted Han Jisung.

"Hoi, Hoi!!! Shush!! I told you Jisung will come back, stop crying." She sighed as she tried to comfort him in every way she could. But it was all going to be in vain.

"Now, Now, Miss Na Yun." Ji Yung sat down on her chair and leaned back comfortably. "I don't like to waste my time at all. So, I need you to tell me who exactly sent you."

The girl infront of her looked around and was greeted by two other people standing at the back, eyes on her.

"I was forced by someone....." Her voice croaked out.

Ji Yung sat up and looked at her even more intensely.

"Who?"

"I'm sorry, I just cannot tell you. That person....has some of my personal information which she's threatening to reveal-"

"....Fine. We won't force you then and we won't take an legal actions against you. But I'm really sorry, I will have to restrict your access in the company. Which means...." Though Ji Yung was actually was fuming at this situation, she actually tried to think it through her point of view. Na Yun has been a really good employee for a quite a while in the company. She has been trustworthy too, so why would she do something like this out of the blue.

"Which means that I'll have to resign from the company?" She completed, "Yes.....I agree to do that."

"Fine then. Everything is settled." Ji Yung stood up and nodded at Seo Jin and he gave her a smug look. Previously she had told him to check her phone, her social contacts and keep an eye on her after she resigns, and Seo Jin was obviously going to follow her instructions.

But the thing that bothered her the most, was that it was a 'she'.
