Silent Pain [Yechan×Jaehan]

𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪 Ch 12 𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪

Jaehan arrived at the college cafeteria, alone. He saw his four friends, Taedong, Hwichan, Junghoon and Kevin, chatting at a table. He made his way over, his heart heavy with sadness at having to leave Yechan behind.

"Hey, Jaehan!"
Junghoon said, his eyes filled with concern.
"What's wrong? Where's Yechan?"

Jaehan sighed.
"He's not feeling well. I had to leave him behind."

Taedong's eyes widened.
"That's too bad. Is there anything we can do to help?"

Jaehan shook his head.
"No, but I wish there was something I could do. I hate seeing him like this."

Hwichan put a comforting hand on Jaehan's shoulder.
"It's okay. He'll be alright."

Jaehan nodded, but couldn't help feeling a sense of guilt for not being able to stay with Yechan.

Kevin smiled.
"Come on, let's get some food before go to lectures. We can talk about something else to take your mind off of it."

The five friends talked, laughed, and ate until the bell rang, signaling the start of their lectures. Jaehan went to the lecture hall with his friends, his heart still heavy, but a little lighter from the companionship of his friends.

Jaehan: Hey, I just made it to college safely! I'm with Taedong and the others at the lecture hall. How're you feeling?

Jaehan texted Yechan to let him know he had arrived safely.

DING!

He immediately got a reply.

Yechan: Hey, don't worry about me. I'm feeling better now. Just focus on your assignment and have fun with your friends.

Jaehan: Don't worry, I'm doing my best to focus on my studies. I can't wait to see you later. I miss you so much.
I love you<3

Yechan: I love you too. I'll be here waiting for you my love <3

Jaehan smiled, feeling a little better, and tried to focus on the lecture.

Meanwhile, Yechan was at home, texting his friends Hangyeom, Xen, Jehyun, Hyuk, and Sebin.

Yechan: Hey guys, sorry I'm not able to make it to college today. I'm feeling really sick.

Hangyeom: No worries! Get some rest, we'll catch up soon!

Xen: Yeah, take care of yourself! We'll see you when you're feeling better.

Jehyun: We'll miss you today!

Hyuk: Don't worry, we'll have plenty of fun without you!

Sebin: Hope you'll feel well soon Yechan!

Knowing that Yechan wasn't going to be there, Sebin quickly stood up and was going to leave when Jehyun asked,
"Hey Sebin? Where are you going?"

"Oh I've lectures to attend. Since Yechan is not here I've to go alone."
Sebin answered.

"Oh okay then."

Sebin then hurried off, leaving the others confused.

"Well that was weird."
Said Hyuk after Sebin left.

Sebin texted someone on the way to the roof top. As he went to the rooftop the person he was expecting was already there.

"Yechan is not here today. It's great timing to do this."
