Ring Ring

A dark room, the only light visible was the one made by the TV.
it managed to light up some of the living room. 
the sound of the people speaking was the only sound to be heard.
The phone placed on the table was lighting up and turning back off.

Once again, it began to ring.
the caller was starting to give up.
the loud ringtone had finally broken into the owner's deep sleep.

Han Jisung, a 25-year-old man who lived in an apartment by himself.
He was startled by the sound of his phone ringing. The boy didn't even notice himself falling asleep.
he rubbed his sleepy eyes and reached for his phone. 'who could it be at a time like this..' he sighed.

Once he looked at his lock screen he saw the many missed calls this person had left.
He found himself moving into a sitting position. It was his ex-boyfriend...

'what could it be after so long?' he thought looking at the number. 
it's been a month since they had contacted one another. He didn't expect something too big, but a text could have done the job.

The two had dated a while back for quite a time but their relationship was cut short since they thought things weren't working out saying they would be better off just friends.
Though that was a lie, Jisung was still in love with this ex of his. 

But he had moved on and found a new boyfriend leaving Jisung with his one-sided feelings.
Soon enough the other had traveled with his boyfriend truly ending their relationship.
the only thing that kept them updated about each other was social media...But it was never fun to look at all the pictures that would end up making him upset and jealous. He hated looking at that other guy's face.

He thought about it every day and night, but once he had finally moved on and tried his hardest to forget his phone decided to ring. after a month, this number decided to call.
He couldn't help but feel just a little bit of happiness, but his feelings were long gone. At least that's what he thought.

His hand moved on its own pressing the glowing green button and picking up the call...
He stayed silent for the first few seconds not knowing what to say. The phone was placed against his ear, He waited to hear the voice of the other, but instead of words, a faint sob was heard the sound of the other crying. 

"pick up.." he cried through the phone. Jisung was surprised, he didn't expect their first call after so long would be like this. He was suddenly worried, "Hello? Minho?? Is that you??" he questioned. 

He heard some moving from the other line followed by Minho clearing his throat, he wiped the tears off of his face. "Mhm....did I wake you up? sorry.." he spoke with a quivering voice.
"I'm coming back to Seoul...I didn't have anyone to tell so you are the first to know.." he once again added, his voice cutting between sniffles.

Jisung was surprised at the sudden news, but he couldn't shake away the feeling that something was wrong.
"That's great, it's been a while...we can make up for the time you weren't here," Jisung said ending it with a chuckle in hopes to brighten the mood. 

"heh...yeah, it has been... I'll be arriving by 1:30, can you come pick me up...?" Minho said.
Jisung smiled at the request, "I was going to come even if you didn't ask me to.." he replied, He could hear a little giggle from the other line.
"I'll see you there then"
"I'll be there."  

After the call had ended, Jisung was left with his phone in his hand. He couldn't shake that feeling off, He's been with Minho for longer than anyone, and Not everything can make him cry like that. He was one of the strongest people Jisung knew so what could it be?

He ran his hand through his hair followed by a heavy sigh 'What's wrong minho...?'
he knew he wouldn't be getting any sleep because of this...

Meanwhile...

Sitting on the cold bench, his hand over his mouth stopping his sobs.
the subway was empty at this hour but a few people were passing by, some giving him looks.
'you asshole..' he thought as he sat there with his phone in hand. 

He couldn't wait any longer for the train to come already, hearing Jisung's voice only made him feel even worse. He thought he probably was ignoring his calls and he gave him the right to, after a month of leaving with no trace, no messages or calls. He had every right to ignore him and just consider him dead. But he didn't, and that made Minho feel even worse than he already felt.

For the past month in Itaewon, he was living one big lie. He trusted someone that he shouldn't and wasted those 3 weeks and a half with someone that didn't even care for him.
A lie that led to another and his eyes were blinded and couldn't see the truth.
He thought it was love but he was just played with, a toy to mess with, a naive boy who fell for a big liar.

flashback...
Earlier this morning...

Minho had a big smile drawn on his face, he had just gotten back from the mall, he did some shopping and was feeling really excited about it.

Once he arrived at their apartment, he placed his things down and walked to their room, his excitement growing.
He paused once he sensed something off, someone's smell was filling the air. These pheromones weren't his boyfriend's so it could only mean one thing.

His hand hesitantly landed on the doorknob, a slight turn and the door was now open.
His eyes went wide at the sight, a gasp followed by teary eyes.
One thing he didn't expect from such a guy but it had happened.

The man was cheating on him with a woman. When the two had noticed him standing at the door they stopped. 
Yong-hoon quickly threw on his bathrobe and ran after the crying Minho, "wait! It's not what it looks like!" he yelled, It looks just like what it should look like. no lie was about to cover this up.

He managed to grab Minho's hand stopping him from walking away, "you disgusting cheater!" He yelled and broke down in tears, His eyes were filled with disgust he couldn't even look at this man in front of him.

Yong-hoon scoffed and let go of his hand, "What is the point of hiding it now that I've been caught...I never even loved you, it was all just an act. I just got bored of toying with you so I played around here and there, But you were just so stupid you never even noticed."
an ugly smile was drawn on his face as he spoke. The words he said made Minho want to throw up. How could he have fallen for someone so disgusting?

He collected his things and left right then and there, he couldn't stay a minute longer. 
Tears streamed down his cheeks, He felt so stupid.
