From Beginning to the End (Jeongcheol)

Good to Me

Wonwoo pov

It has been months since our last break when we went camping. 🏕

After our concert in Korea tonight, we will finally be able to have a long break.

_______________ Time skip _____________

'Thank you Carats! Goodnight!'

We are finally done! Here comes the big break!!

'Wonwoo hyung~'

'Hmm?'

'I'm going back to Anyang tomorrow'

Oh yeah... I forgot Mingyu was heading back to his hometown to visit his family. He did invite me to follow him but I didn't want to interrupt his family time so I decided not to follow.

'I'll miss you 😢'

'I'll miss you too hyung. But we will call everday. Ok?'
Mingyu placed a kiss on my forehead and continued packing his things. Tonight was his last night with me till 2 months later.

3rd person pov

'Cheollie~ faster'
Jeonghan moaned while Seungcheol thrusted into him.

'I'm close Hannie'
'Come inside me'

'Urghh'

Seungcheol pulled out and lied down beside Jeonghan, wrapping his arm around Jeonghan's waist.

'I'm sorry baby. But you know I have to go tomorrow to volunteer like I promised'

'I know 😔. I'm not stopping you. Just stay with me for now?'
'Of course'

Seungcheol had volunteered at a dog homecare shelter with Seungkwan, leaving Jeonghan behind all gloomy. Although he would only be gone for a few weeks, Jeonghan was still too attached to Seungcheol to let him go.

Vernon and Joshua were heading back to US while Jun and The8 headed back to China. Woozi was bringing Hoshi to his hometown Busan for a little tour and Dokyeom insisted on bringing Dino to Everland in Yongin, leaving Jeonghan and Wonwoo alone in the house.

~ Next morning ~

'Bye!!'
They were bidding goodbyes to one another at the airport, unwilling to part ways.

'Wonwoo-ya kaja'

Wonwoo followed his Jeonghan hyung to the car to head home.

'Do you-'
Jeonghan turned his head to Wonwoo, wanting to ask him something but Wonwoo had fallen asleep in the chair.

'I guess not' 😕

~ Time skip ~

Jeonghan pov

I haven't seen Wonwoo for a few days now. He often goes out when I'm in my room and comes back after I return to my room again.

I spoke to Seungcheol everyday and I love seeing his cute little gummy smile everyday. I never mentioned Wonwoo to him, not wanting him to worry.

Tonight after my call with Seungcheol, I decided to wait up for Wonwoo.

*click*

The door was unlocked.

Wonwoo walked in totally ignoring my presence. He hair and shirt was disheveled, lips slightly bruised and reeked of alcohol.

'Wonwoo'

'Jeonghan hyung'

'What happened to you?'

'Nothing'

He tried to walk away but I grabbed his wrist amd pulled him towards the sofa.

'Stay here. I'll grab the first aid kit'

'It's ok' Wonwoo tried standing up and walking away.

'JEON WONWOO!'

I rarely raised my voice so this time Wonwoo knew not to disobey me.

Wonwoo stayed silent and sat back down on the sofa.

I grabbed the first aid kit and started disinfecting his wounds. He had some pretty bad wounds on his knuckles as well. Did he fight others? Now was not a good time to ask.

'I didn't fight anyone'
Wonwoo whispered silently.

'Hmm?'
I closed the kit and sat down beside Wonwoo.

'I didn't fight anyone'
Wonwoo repeated.

'Ok but explain these'

'I went to drink and accidentally walked into someone on my way out. He started to pick a fight but Mingyu taught me to defend myself and I tried. He was very strong. He pushed me to the ground amd that's how I scraped my knuckles. Mingyu taught me to defend myself and never use my fighting skills to fight back. Mingyu was always there to protect me whenever people picked on me. He promised to always protect me and nobody would hurt me. Hyung... I miss Mingyu 😫'
Wonwoo babbled, repeating himself sometimes.

My poor little Wonwoo. I have never seen him so vulnerable before. He always had a straight face and even through hard times, his expressions never change. He always remained strong. Seeing him be this vulnerable now made my heart ache.

I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him into a tight hug while patting his back and comforting him. It has been so long since I have held him this close.

Slowly Wonwoo's cries and sobs died down. I lied him down on the sofa and prepared some water beside. I cradled him and drifted off to sleep together.
