JAKE SAT IN front of the older boy, pillow hugged close to his chest as he picked at the loose string from the fabric, swallowing the lump in his throat before speaking.
"We talked with, uhm, Haneul again yesterday." He began, looking up at the older boy who grew stiff upon the mention of the name.
"Really?" The boy hummed, glancing over to where Jake sat, his full attention now being set on the Australian boy instead of the TV, of which played his favorite cartoon.
"Yeah. Jungwon, Ni-Ki and I met up with her at her restaurant. She told us about everything that happened that night." Jake emphasized the final two words, letting a frown settle at his lips as he noticed the older's expression begin to change.
"She did?" He muttered, brows furrowed slightly as he sunk back into his couch, letting out a small sigh.
"She did," Jake repeated, pursing his lips together before continuing to speak. "Why did you do it? Why did you say the things you did?"
"I can't really explain, Jake."
"..why?" Jake furrowed his brows, pestering on. The boy was determined to get his answers, wanting to know why one of his best friend's disappeared for four whole years, and he's only just now getting close with her again.
Lee Heeseung bit down at his bottom lip, shaking his head at Jake. "Once again, I can't explain."
"But, why? None of this makes sense. I don't know why you won't just tell me.. could you at least just try? Heeseung, I love you, but our best friend was missing in our lives for four whole years. I want to know why she left.. please." Jake begged, clenching his jaw slightly as he looked at Heeseung with tear-filled eyes.
Meeting the younger's gaze, Heeseung sighed, squeezing his own eyes shut and tilting his head towards his ceiling.
"That night, I was already pretty angry and upset beforehand. I had gotten into an argument with one of my teammates on the basketball team after the game, so I was kinda.. taking everything out on everyone." Heeseung began, pausing to think back to that night.
"When Haneul called me, I already knew she was calling me after an argument with her mother. She always did, especially on a Friday night. I couldn't deal with it any longer, I really couldn't."
