(Joshua's POV)

We were at the squad house (it's a house they bought together)

Nobody else was their. Jun and Minghao went outside to buy some drinks.

"..."

"..."

"Uhmm"

"..."

"Joshua-"

"Why?"

"I-"

"Why did you do this? For attention?"

"No. I did this because I had to. I know pretending to just fucking die isn't the right way, but it just happened okay?"

"Sorry? That's all? I need an explanation. Why did you do that? Did you really hate us this much? You wanted to get rid of us from your life?" Wait, what? Why did I just say that

"Wow, Joshua. That's what you think? I get it you're mad, but I had my reasons. I can't even tell you. You will never trust me."

"You're saying trust you? I lost my trust the moment I saw you earlier. What did you get from doing all this drama. Giving us all so much pain and guilt. Do you know your sister had to go to a therapist 3 times a week for years. Your mom was hospitalized for months. Because of your whole fake death. Great job. You did great. Are you happy now?"

"Wh-what did you say?"

"Yes, you heard right."

"Now since you really had to do this. Leave. Just leave. Keep avoiding us. We don't need you in our lives anymore." No, please don't leave. I didn't mean it.

"I had a reason. Shua, please forgive me if you can, but if that's what you feel like,
sure...
I will leave you to it." He was about to leave

"W-wait" I stopped him.

"I meant I don't wanna see your face. You can stay here if you want, I will leave."

"I-its okay, I am not supposed to be here,"

"Are you crying, Jeonghan?"

"No, my eyes are sweating. It happens often" He wiped his tears away

"I- *pfft* Okay," Joshua saw the old Jeonghan for a second. He instantly stopped smiling so Jeonghan wouldn't notice.

And with that, Joshua left the house. Leaving Jeonghan all alone their.

He called Minghao, who wasn't picking up.

So he called his mystery guy.
