"He went back." Mrs Yoon replied not really fond of answering the questions.
"Back? Where?" Jeonghan asked puzzled.
"His place. He didn't tell you? He had a flight at 7 to Sydney. He told me he would inform you at night."
"He didn't-" Jeonghan eyes watered.
"Maybe he just didn't want to disappoint you. Why don't you call him after his flight lands?" She replied smiling even though she knew Jeonghan wasn't.
"Maybe..."
"Come on everyone, you guys haven't eaten for long. I have made japchae for everyone." Mrs Yoon said calling out the kids to change the topic.
Jeonghan was still stuck at the news. He was just playing with the food on the plate, instead of eating. He had no appetite.
Why didn't you tell me...
It was evening, and Jeonghan finally called Cheol after fretting over it for past 30 minutes. First, he didn't pick up his call and Jeonghan continuously ranged his phone.
"What is wrong with you Yoon Jeonghan?! Why are you spamming me with calls?" He almost shouted through the phone.
"Hyungie..." Jeonghan's sobs were clearly audible.
Cheol took a deep breath before he spoke calmly, "What happened Hannie?"
"Are you angry? Disappointed at me?" Jeonghan asked.
"No Jeonghan. Let's not talk about this Jeonghan. You have clear said what you wanted to. Can you not call me anymore? I need space. Please?"
The phone went silent for a minute.
"Han-"
"Okay."
Jeonghan hung up the call and cried on the bed.
I hate you hyungie. I hate you!
Few Months Later
Even though Cheol and Jeonghan were the same age, just a few months gap, Cheol was one class higher. So he is in college and Jeonghan in school.
Cheol wanted to study in Seoul instead of Australia. He tried really hard to convince his parents to agree.
They travelled back and visited Jeonghan's house when wasn't there as it was his school time.
The elders were busy talking in the living room, when Cheol walked into Jeonghan's room. He traced his fingers around the wooden frames of their pictures together.

My Hannie...
A small tear dropped down his eye.

I hope you're happy. I won't be greedy for you.
He walked out of the room after kissing his favourite picture with him, just to realize it was almost time for Jeonghan to come back. He ran downstairs to his parents.
"Can I go now?" He asked.
"Go where Cheol? Wait for a while. Jeonghan will be back any minute." Mrs Yoon said.
"Aunty, please don't tell Jeonghan that I came back here."
"Why?"
"We... uh... we are kind of like fighting? So please don't tell him of my visit."
They had puzzled face but still agreed. He was outside the door when Jeonghan arrived. He quickly hid himself to the side and left as soon as Jeonghan went inside.
"We have guests?" Jeonghan murmured looking at the extra footwear. He went in to find his favourite Uncle and Aunt having snacks in the living room.
"Uncle Choi! When did you guys come?!"
Jeonghan's face was lightened up.
"Where is hyung?" He asked abruptly looking at the every corner. The elders looked at each other.
"He didn't come with us. He said he wanted to stay back." Aunt Choi replied.
Jeonghan's face turned pale upon gaining the information. They couldn't understand why Cheol asked them to lie.
So you are avoiding me? You want to stay away from me...
Cheol moved out of the hostel his parents arranged for him. He wanted to be independent instead of being closed inside the walls.
That is when he moved in with Jisoo. Though he didn't like his guts, but he still stayed there as it was cheaper than renting a condo.
Cheol turned into a mess after he gained his independence. He wanted to be bad. He started visiting clubs often, partying till late. Sleeping around with random people became his addiction, though no one could really satisfy him.
Sometimes its a woman, sometimes a man. It really didn't matter to him, who it was. Whoever hit on him, would be banged the very next hour.
He was trying anything that could make him forget the pain. Jeonghan was busy in his own world. He didn't really forget Cheol but rather gave up on him.
He always had crush on his class president since long ago. That he was trying to imply on himself to get out of the forbidden feelings he had in himself. He knew it wasn't his place, yet he forced himself on it.
Both of them were getting used to their life trying to not cross each other until this day...
"Why did you not open it sooner?", Seungcheol said pushing Jisoo aside. The anger was evident in his words.
"I told you someone special is coming. You should stay out for a while. Didn't I?", Jisoo said folding his hands and leaning on the wall.
"I-"
*growlllll~*
"Fuck off the way!", Seungcheol pushed Jisoo running into the house holding his stomach.
This voice...
Jeonghan came out knowing who the voice belongs to. He stopped on his tracks thinking he was just hearing things but that temper. It was definitely him.
