Lost and found

Chapter 16

I groaned as I slowly detached myself from the love of my life and headed towards the front door. Peeking through the door hole I saw that it was none other than the devil itself Jeonghan. But why was he back so early. He had an uneasy expression on his face as if someone was after hi

"What's wrong Hyung?" I questioned as I pulled him into the house

"I-I don't know I had literally just arrived at work and we were getting ready for a show when I got a sudden phone call from Jihans teacher saying that he was feeling sick all of a sudden and refused to talk to anyone, so I begged one of my coworkers minghao to take my position while I ran over here to pick up my car so I can go get him" hearing this I nodded as he hurriedly grabbed his keys

"Me and wonwoo will come too" I said grabbing my coat as well as wonwoo nodded putting his coat over his night attire not bothering to get changed

"Why?" Jeonghan asked as he grabbed his car keys turning back to us to judge out attires

"You know for emotional support and besides me and Jihan are besties. He loves me and I'm sure that he would want me to come as well and about wonwoo he is scared to be left alone" I said as I heard wonwoo scoff muttering "Jihan said that I was his bestie"

"Ok then whatever let's go" he said impatiently locking the front door as we all hopped into the back of his car.

Jeonghan's POV

As I drove I suddenly remembered
"Jihan likes chocolate milk let's quickly stop in a convenient store to grab some along with some other snacks" I said going the opposite direction from the school

"Are you sure that he would want to drink chocolate milk?" Wonwoo asked giving me a weird look

"Yeah, who drinks chocolate milk when they're sick?" Mingyu said disgusted

"You lot need to shush leave my chicken alone, he says drinking chocolate milk always manages to calm him down" I said as I pulled up into a parking spot before turning to them

"What a weirdo" mingyu whispered making wonwoo snicker

"I heard you and just because you said that you can go get it" I glared him down before handing him some money. He just pushed my hand back, giving me the 'it's on me' look before jumping out of the car

"Han are you ok? You have not been acting yourself these past few weeks" Wonwoo spoke calmly as I stared at his figure in the passenger seat. I wasn't surprised he noticed, he was always good at telling peoples emotions

"I-I just don't know, ever since we met those guys again I just feel like it's not gonna take long for Joshua to find me" I spoke quietly as I stared down at my shaking hands. From the passenger seat, he pulled my hands towards him and rubbed his thumb over my hands soothingly

"would Joshua coming back be a bad thing though?" He spoke carefully

"you don't understand, he's going to want to take Jihan away from me I know he will. This is Joshua were talking about. You heard Seungkwan he despises me and never wants to see me. I have no doubt if he finds me he would want to take Jihan away from me. He wants to see me miserable" feeling tears beginning to form in my eyes I quickly brushed them off, now wasn't the right time for tears

"w-what makes you think that he would want to take Jihan away from you?" his voice cracked as he stared at my shaking form

"This is Joshua were talking about, he is going to want something from me for leaving him all these years with no explanation"

"then why don't you just tell him what happened"

"you don't understand I can't or else-"

"I'm back and luckily they had more flavors too and so I got some for all of us" Mingyu laughed as he placed the bag down in the back and sat next to it shutting the door as I quickly pulled my hands away from Wonwoo's grip, getting a grip of my emotions. I almost told Wonwoo, no one can ever know the reason why I had left Joshua

"that's great, pass me some strawberry milk" I smiled as Mingyu handed me the drink, I could feel Wonwoo's eyes on me but I just sent him a small reassuring smile making him roll his eyes as he stared out the window.

As soon as we had arrived at the kid's school I quickly parked my car in the parking lot before hopping out the car, the other two decided to stay in the car and wait for us. Bursting through the main office door, I told the front desk lady who I was. She nodded before walking into a room and coming out holding Jihan's hand. Once I saw his small figure, I ran to him and engulfed him into a hug before pulling away and staring into his eyes. Something felt odd, his normal lively and full of life eyes were no longer found instead he stared back at me with dull and empty eyes.

"w-what's wrong Ji does your stomach hurt?" I asked him hurriedly, he just stared at me with the same expression not saying a word

"he's been like that all day. The teacher said he was completely fine this morning he only started to act weird during second period. He had randomly got up and ran out of the class claiming that he felt sick then continuing to puke up all over the floor" the teacher explained. My heart pained as I wasn't sure what had caused him to act like this all of a sudden

"oh alright then, I'll try finding out what happened thanks you though" I smiled at her softly before grabbing his hand and walking out and heading towards the car. No matter what I asked him he would not answer me he just kept silent. Placing him into the car I walked over to the drivers seat

"what's wrong with him?" Mingyu asked pointing over at Jihans quiet figure

"I don't know in fact no one knows what happened. Apparently he was fine this morning then during second period something happened resulting in him feeling sick and then he walked out of class and puked all over the floor. He'll have to stay home for two days now" I explained the situation to the two who nodded

'why isn't he talking?' Mingyu mouthed to me as I shrugged

"Ji did we do something bad? why won't you talk to us?" I asked desperately but still I was left in silence. Giving up I started the car and drove home with this huge lump caught up in my throat. Once we had finally arrived in the driveway and were about to exit the car when he crocked out the sentence that I had dreaded to hear him ask

"how much longer were you planning on lying to me for?"
