Under the stars, I saw you || Jungsu

33

"Jungsu!" I call out as I stand up from the sofa, pushing Jiseok's feet off my lap. Jungsu smiles weakly as he enters the apartment with Seungmin trailing behind him, both their heads hanging low. "What happened?"

"Wake Jiseok up and we'll talk." Seungmin lowly says as he goes on over to the dining table. I nod as I turn around to Jiseok and slap his arms a few times. His eyes then slowly open as he looks at me with a frown. "Jungsu and Seungmin are here."

"And I'm not flying? Woah.." He chuckles as he sits up properly and fixes himself up before getting up fully and then heading on over beside Seungmin.

"You guys want some water?" I ask as I go to the kitchen again and open the cupboard, taking out 4 glasses. They both hum in response. I them open the fridge and grab the water pitcher. I then bring the ater and glasses to the table, setting them in the middle before taking a seat beside Jungsu.

The mood was low. It wasn't usually happy and bright like it usually is. Jungsu is usually smiley and all that, but instead of a smile there was a frown. Seungmin was even more frowny than usual too. Something was definately off.

"Why do you guys look so sad? What happened?" Jiseok ask with a worried voice. Seungmin sighs deeply.

"Hyeongjun died." Seungmin lowly says, him looking up with teary eyes. "Jungsu and I were both sent to help him protect his assignment, but we couldn't. Hyeongjun's assignment's danger was suicide."

"Oh shit.." I lowly say with wide eyes. I then turn to Jungsu and there were tears streaming down his cheeks. I sigh as I pull him into a hug, me resting his head on my shoulder as I patted his back.

"We're both so sorry about your loss." Jiseok says with a soft voice as he pats Seungmin's shoulder.

"We saw him die right infront of us.." Jungsu cries out, him choking on his tears. "He faded away so quickly.. Why couldn't we help him?!"

I sigh as I stand up from my seat and grab a glass from the table, pouring water in it and grabbing it as I then pulled Jungsu up.

"We'll be right back." I say as I bring both Jungsu and I to my bedroom.
I set Jungsu on the edge of my bed and pass him the glass of water, him holding it with both hands while I wiped his sparkly tears with my thumb.

"I just stood there.. and watched him fade away.." Jungsu breathes out as he sets the water on the night table, then turning to me with red eyes and a runny nose.

"I'm sure you tried your best to help him." I smile, then standing o from my bed and going over to my desk to grab a few tissues from the tissue box. I then walk back over to Jungsu and pass them to him. He pushes them away before hugging my waist tightly and pulling me down onto the bed. That was when he let out all his tears.

It broke my heart seeing Jungsu like this. I mostly saw him as a happy and cheery star, but right now he's in a depressing state.

"Yujun.. please don't die too.."
