⚊ chapter twenty nine

He can't erase it from the back of his mind. Try as he might, the image of the two haunted him everywhere he go after this morning.

It has caused some conflicts. He basically threw his anger to anyone who might remind him of it.

One of the unintended consequences is snapping up on Sunoo, the older boy walked away from him and didn't listen to his apologies.

"If you're mad to the world, don't berserk on anyone. Punch it out in the gym", Sunoo's only reply on his message with an addition, "I won't talk to you until your head cool off"

Ni-ki had rubbed his forehead in frustration after reading it, the nerves biting him to the core and the same time, those hated emotions are raging inside. It wasn't something he could simply release out in the punching bag.

If only it was that simple, he had long taken all the schedules for boxing exercises.

Truth is, life doesn't work that way and he can't even share it to anyone in his friends.

They will listen he knew, he's just scared they would judge him for his actions as of late.

It all started this morning, he woke up on the right side of the bed and he even remembered kissing his mom on the cheeks before going to his monster ride.

He was even chirping on the way to school, not until Jake told him to get Heeseung in their house.

Since there was an early jog before the classes, he was more than happy to oblige and there's no even hindrance on his way inside the Lee's residence because the people was already used to him, they see no harm in letting him enter freely any time.

The original plan is to pull Heeseung's feet to drag him out of the bed for a surprise wake up call.

Ni-ki never thought he would be the one in for a surprise.

"Hee -", all the words he intended to say came into a quick halt at the sight inside his friend's bedroom.

Heeseung had certainly enjoyed his day yesterday than he thought he could've.

It's all there in the proof of him hugging a girl to himself and she too wrapped her arms around his waist. Her head tucked safely into his chest while she was also changed into the older guy's pajamas that was twice her size and they looked nothing but that kind of possibility.

They looked like a normal, loving young couple.

Ni-ki doesn't know what to say or do. There was a lump in his throat as he picked up his phone and capture the two of them with his shaky hands. They were slightly blurry in his vision, his eyes were reacting to it that he hated.

He will not do anything with the picture but maybe to use it as a reminder?

Kind of like a warning.

He even hated himself for staying a little bit more, to asses the situation.

The two look so content in each other's arms, as if nothing could break them from one another. As if they were only in their own world within this room.

It hurts a bit more than Ni-ki would like to admit to himself.

Fuck this.. Jake hyung can wake them up himself, he thought in his mind as he left the room in silence.

And in silence, there he suffers in a lonely fight against his mind and most likely, to his heart.

The breakfast this morning was so awkward. We used Yuna once again in the name of not being caught, so I asked him to get her before he brings the two of us home. One of these days, I bet my bestfriend would explode with all the lies I'm making her to do.
