Rainbow

Chapter 19

Seulgi's POV
I was already in the basement parking of my unit when Hae in hyung called me and invited me to drink. I agreed and went to the bar where he is now because Moonbyul noona doesn't have a performance tomorrow, and I think I need that too.

"Hyung," I called him when I was already in front of his table.

He looked at me and gestured for me to sit down, which I followed. He drank before he sighed and spoke. "Noona and I fought earlier." He's referring to his girlfriend.

"Why?" I asked and drank from the beer bottle in front of me.

"Because of her jealousy. I called her Jisoo during our date earlier."

I chuckled and shook my head. "Even I would be jealous, especially since Miss Jisoo is absolutely stunning."

Hyung snorted in annoyance, "You're not helping."

I laughed, "Why did you call Jimin noona by a different name, anyway?"

He sighed, "Jisoo had scheduled yesterday and this day. And I was the one who accompanied her. And I always called her name like 'Jisoo, let's go. Jisoo, you need to get ready. Jisoo, you need to go there. Jisoo, they wanted to talk to you.' Jisoo, Jisoo, Jisoo. So, it was late when I noticed that I called noona by a different name."

"Did you explain to noona?"

He nodded, "Yeah. But she didn't believe me."

I chuckled, "Good luck. I think you need to woo her again."

He sighed and drank afterward.

Hae In POV
Seulgi and I were just silently drinking when I noticed a tear fall from his cheek. I looked at him, and he seemed to be in deep thought.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

He frowned at me. "Huh?"

I pointed at his cheek, "Is there anything that happened?"

He looked at his hand after he touched his cheek. He leaned on his seat and looked away while holding his beer.

"Can I take a break, hyung?" He asked with his voice broken. "I visited Dad earlier, and he wanted to give up on his life. I was really hurt after I heard that." There was a pain trace in his voice. "In my life, I keep fighting for my family. Even if I wanted to give up, I just couldn't. But I'm so tired right now. I'm tired of fighting. I'm tired of getting hurt. And I'm tired of my life." He sighed heavily. "But I have a responsibility I couldn't leave, right?" He smiled sadly and drank after.

"You can take a break and rest for a moment, Seulgi. And if you're already okay and gain your strength, you can fight your bottle again. Don't push too hard on yourself. Don't love only your family. You have to love yourself too."

"Am I being too hard on myself, hyung? Am I not loving myself? How can I love myself, hyung? How can I do that? Because I don't know anymore." He asked like a lost kid who didn't know what to do.

"Do the things that you love."

"I am doing it now, hyung."

"You just love it because of the others. What I want to tell you is to do the things you want to do because you love doing them, because it makes you happy. Not the things you just learned how to love because you have to do it."

"I don't have anything I wanted to do other than help my dad to survive and have a happy family again."

I sighed and shook my head at what he said. We just kept drinking until I decided to go home when Seulgi was knocked out already with his head on the table.

I stood up and put the payment on the table before going to Seulgi and shaking his shoulder. "Seulgi, wake up."

He groaned but did not move. "Why? I wanted to sleep more." He intoxicatedly said.

"Let's go home. It's already one in the morning."

I was startled when he suddenly sat up straight and looked at me with his glossy and red eyes. "Do you know why Jimin noona was jealous?" He stood up and put his hands on my shoulder. "It's not because you called her by a different name, but because you called her in Miss Jisoo's name. Oh!" He looked somewhere with wide eyes while raising his finger. "In Jisoo's name seems familiar, isn't it?"

I chuckled at his silliness and guided him to walk outside. "Don't think too much. You're not like that." I teased him.

"It's true! Wendy said the girls have a thing called instinct. Maybe noona already felt that you like Miss Jisoo." He chuckled, even though nothing was funny.

"Yah. What are you talking about? I don't like Jisoo." I said and stopped on the side of the passenger door of my car.

"Because you love her?" He laughed mockingly. "I already know that line, hyung! Stop using it!"

I smacked his head. "You talked nonsense, Seulgi." I opened the passenger door after I pressed the key fob. "Can you just get in? We still have work tomorrow."

He shook his head with his eyes closed. "No. I'm going to drive my motor."

I grabbed his arm when he was about to leave. "You're drunk. Do you want to be dead?"

He looked at me in confusion. "You're also drunk. Do you want to be dead too?"

"How can I be drunk? You drank almost the drinks I ordered earlier." I said and pushed him inside my car. I closed the door and went to the driver's seat.

"Hyung," Seulgi called me after a while that I was driving.

"What?"

"Why are you dating noona if you don't love her?"

I sighed at his question. "I love Jimin."

"And you also love Miss Jisoo? Do you have two hearts?"

I glanced at him and saw him frowning while looking out the window. "I don't love her."

"Then what do you call a person who refused to be the CEO and chose to be a manager of a girl group? An idiot?"

I laughed, "Not really. It's just that I don't think I can already handle our company right now. I don't want the people in our company to get in trouble for my shortcomings."

I glanced at him when he didn't speak. I chuckled and shook my head when I saw him asleep. After a while, we already arrived at the parking of his condo. I woke him up and guided him inside his unit.

"Hey, sir. Can you remove my clothes and wear me some shorts? I just don't have the strength to do that." Seulgi said after I put him down to his bed.

I sighed before I complied with his request and left his place afterward.
