Illusion || gyujin

"yujin ah.. stay here for a while with hyung okay?" a young teenager sitting next to his bed makes him chuckle. he couldn't stop thinking about how adorable yujin is.

"it .. hurts to see you like this...", yujin replied with a concerned look on his face.

"what do you mean, i'm alright baby", he smiled softly.

the boy only glanced at his beloved. yujin's smile, though apparent, was not an expression of happiness. rather, it was a reflection of his knowledge that gyuvin loved him deeply. however, he couldn't help but feel a sense of unease about the intensity of the elder's affection. he cared deeply for gyuvin, but this level of love was overwhelming. yujin's concern for gyuvin's well-being overshadowed any personal gratification he might have felt from being loved so intensely. despite the smile on his face, yujin couldn't shake the worry that lingered within him.

the young boy's gaze fixed upon him, a tinge of worry creeping into his expression. His eyes spoke volumes, filled with concern and an unmistakable love for gyuvin.

"why are you looking at me like that yuyu?" the other one reached closer to yujin.

the younger just pouted at the name 'yuyu'. he missed the time when gyuvin called him several cute names.

"are you okay now? tell me if someone bullies you, i'll bully them instead love", the boy chuckled a bit, he always harassed the students who hurt yujin in the slightest way. he hated to see his little angel cry.

"no... it's fine here... "

"hyung ... it's so silent here ..."

he didn't react to what he said. ever since yujin came back he always said some senseless things to which gyuvin doesn't react. he doesn't know why the younger one says such things but he did not try to ask either.

silly baby...

the boy sighed softly as he moved a little closer trying to touch gyuvin's face. he had a constant desire to stroke his hyung's face. he desired to cuddle with and hold him. he desired to embrace him. his emotions were just too intense for him. yujin gently caressed his cheek.

"yujin ah... i can't feel anything...", gyuvin muttered

His heart broke at that moment, and his grin was hurtful. He had no response to the elder's statement, but he was deeply upset within. He didn't even have a heart left at this time to feel anything. If he had a heart, it could be said that it was breaking because of the sadness.

gyuvin understands the expectations of normalcy. according to the society, a "normal" person doesn't react to every little thing they see. they don't engage in self-conversations or burst into laughter alone in their room. but he confidently asserts that he is, in fact, normal.

he may not be seeing the most typical thing, though. perhaps he is acting in a worrying manner, but he doesn't seem to mind as long as he meets the unknown individual. He doesn't care if people judge him, call him crazy, insult him, or do anything else.

his parents are concerned about his unusual encounters and think he is in urgent need of treatment. they care about gyuvin's mental health, which is evident in their choice to admit him to a mental institution. but gyuvin was aware that he was normal and shouldn't be in this situation.

yujin's sudden disappearance left gyuvin in a state of worry and confusion. it had been several months since yujin had last been seen, and there was no trace of him. gyuvin vividly remembered the day yujin had confided in him, revealing that he wouldn't be attending school. he explained that he was tired of dealing with his relentless bullies and needed some time to himself at home. but after that conversation, yujin seemed to vanish into thin air.
