Along your steps | MINSUNG

40

Six months. How did I survive this long without you? Time does heal everything, i guess.  I hope you're happy. Please be happy. I am not sure if I even want to meet you again. I don't think I'll ever be able to face your anger and hatred.

The sun had already behind those big mountains and the sky had started to turn dark. Han was sitting on a rock capturing the dragon like view of the trees flanking around the waterfall in front of him. It, being the autumn leaf season, was getting cooler as night fell in.

"Mom was saying that your new album was a massive hit. You finally released your own song, huh?? I'm so proud of you. I knew you'll make it one day. I really want to hear it. I really wish I could hear it."

"What's stopping you then?"

"Huhh? Did I sleep again?" Han was confused for a second but smiled thereafter.

"Who cares? I'm happy sleeping. At least I can see you here. You know, love. Sometimes I want to sleep for ever and be with you here but I can't leave Mom. She was so scared when I once tried to-"

"HYUNGGGG!!"

A hand tightly grasped Han's arms and pulled him forward.

"Wha- that's the first time you touched me in my drea-" Han's smile fell once he realised that who was in front of him.

Lee Minho.

The man Han loved. The man who made Han feel alive. The man who made Han believe that he was capable of being loved. The man who made Han believe that he could also love someone. The man whose career was about to be ruined in Han's hands. The man Han left to protect him. That man was standing right in front of him.

"Min!" Han was barely able to make these three letters come out of his mouth.

Minho adjusted the snapback he was wearing backwards and closed whatever gap was there between him and his hyung and placed his lips on elder's. Han tried to push Minho but Minho placed his palm on Han's back and brought him closer.

Han started shivering in Minho's arm. He just couldn't stay in the younger's presence. He bit his lips causing it to bleed. Minho groaned in pain and loosened his grip allowing Han a chance to escape. Han ran away once he got the opportunity. Minho followed him once he realised what happened but it was too late. Han was gone.

Han ran to the rented room where he was staying. His knees gave in the moment he entered the room.

"Why is he here??" Han's trembling increased. His breath felt short. His heartbeats raced. His vision started blurring. He was getting a panic attack.

He crawled near the table with great difficulty and manged to open his suitcase. With heavy breath, he took out a hoodie out of it with his trembling hands. He plugged in his earphones and played a song. Thereafter, he curled himself under the blanket hugging the hoodie and listening to the song Minho wrote and sang for him the very first time.

It took him half an hour to calm himself. After he had calmed himself, he sat up on the bed taking in the fact that he saw Minho there.

"No, he can't see me. Why the hell is he here anyway. Does he have a concert here? When? How long is he staying? I have to leave this place for a while. Where do I go? What do I do? Hyung!! Yes, he can help me."

With that Han called Taejoon.

"Hyunggg!!"

"Jisungie??"

"Yes hyung. Hi. Can you plea-"

"Oh my god, Jisung! Where the hell are you? Do you have any idea how much I tried contacting you? How dare you not contact me?"
