I Never Stopped Loving You | JEONGCHEOL

Over before it started?

"So.... Uhhhh.... Where do you live??"

Jeonghan whipped his head in the direction of Seungcheol and scrunched his eyebrows.

"You don't know where I live? The place where Seungkwan lives? You don't know where your brother's boyfriend lives?? Where he spends more than 75% of his free time??"

"Are you telling me or should I call Seungkwan?"

Jeonghan shook his head and entered his address in the gps.

"I know I haven't been the most careful brother but you need to stop shaming me. I don't appreciate it."

"How are you ever going to change if you won't be reminded of your faults??"

"I get it. But watch your tone. The only reason I'm actually listening is because I know I'm wrong and I promise I'll try."

Seungcheol said while pulling the car on the road.

"The world we live in. The fault is yours but I have to watch my tone. Whatever you ask for." Jeonghan said raising his hands in air.

The space between them was filled with frustrated silence. Jeonghan kept staring out his closed window and Seungcheol drove.

They reached Jeonghan's apartment complex.
"Can you park your car outside?? Otherwise I'd have to get permission and it's gonna take atleast 10 mins. They don't allow visitors' parking."

"It's fine. I'll just park here."

They got out of the car and Seungcheol saw the watchmen greeting Jeonghan. Jeonghan returned a warm smile which made Seungcheol wonder why was he so cold to him.

Jeonghan kept walking straight into the lobby but stopped suddenly and veered towards left.

"The staircase. I don't use it often." Jeonghan said as an explanation.

They climbed 10 sets of stairs to reach Jeonghan's floor and by then Jeonghan was just about to drop dead with exhaustion.

Jeonghan rang the doorbell and waited for Seungkwan to open the door.

"Don't you work out Jeonghan?" Seungcheol said looking fresh. He didn't even break a sweat.

"Do I look like someone who works out?" Jeonghan replied pointing towards himself.

"Not really. Yeah my bad. Silly question."

"I know what you're doing."

"Do you now?"

"You're shaming me for having a bad stamina."

"That's right. And now listen to yourself." Seungcheol said smugly.

"Okay alright I'm sorry. I shouldn't have shamed you for not being careful. I won't do it again." Jeonghan said sitting on the floor.

"That's like my boy." Seungcheol said.

Seungkwan opened the door and saw Jeonghan sitting on the floor.

"What are you doing?"

"Just tired. And hangover."
Jeonghan said going past Seungkwan.

"Ohh coups hyung?? I thought you'd leave after dropping hyung?"

"No I gotta pick Hansol."
"But he's still sleeping." Seungkwan updated.
"Then I'll wait."
"Didn't you have a meeting??"
"What meeting?"
"You said last night. 'I've a meeting fairly early in the morning'"
"Ohh crap. I totally forgot about it."

Jeonghan scoffed from the sofa he was lying down on.

He looked exhausted. His skin was pale and sweaty. His breathing was laboured. He had thrown his blazer somewhere and was again in his vest with his forearm on his forehead.
