1 Sun, 6 Moons: Last Memories | Sunoo x Enhypen

Chapter 70 | S2: Comfort

Sunoo's POV

As the evening approached, there was a heavy tension in my dorm room. Sunghoon and I sat in a quiet anticipation, each of them shooting me curious glances every so often. I knew they were itching to know why I had gathered them all here, but I couldn't reveal the full truth until everyone was present.

When Niki arrived, he didn't waste any time and asked me. "Sunoo, what's going on? Why did you ask me to come here?"

I offered a reassuring smile. "I promise I'll explain everything once everyone's here. Just be patient a little longer."

Niki nodded but didn't seem entirely convinced. Sunghoon, on the other hand, kept his questions to himself, though his inquisitive eyes never left mine.

The final piece of the puzzle arrived when Heeseung, Jake, and Jungwon walked in, it was clear that they were all curious about the purpose of this impromptu gathering.

I knew it was time. I couldn't keep them waiting any longer. I grabbed Heeseung's arm, catching his attention, and excused ourselves from the others, leading him into the bedroom.

Once the door was closed behind us, I turned to Heeseung, my expression filled with concern. "You ready for this?"

Heeseung's hands clenched into fists at his sides, and his eyes held uncertainty and fear. "I-I don't know, Sunoo..."

I took a step closer to him, reaching out to hold his trembling hands in mine. "I'm here for you, Heeseung. Whatever happens, you won't have to face it alone."

Heeseung's grip on my hands tightened, and he let out a shaky breath. "I just... I don't want things to get worse."

I nodded in understanding, my heart aching for Heeseung's struggle. "I know it's not easy, but keeping secrets won't make it better. It's time to address the past and move forward."

To my surprise, Heeseung puller me into a hug, and buried my face to his chest. He hugged me like there was no tomorrow.

Pulling away with a deep breath, Heeseung finally spoke the words that had been weighing on him. "Let's go talk to the others."

We left the bedroom, my hand still holding Heeseung's, and rejoined the group in the living area. It was a room filled with people who cared deeply about one another, and I hoped that this gathering would mark the beginning of a path toward resolution and healing.

As we faced our friends, I finally addressed their questions. "Thank you all for coming tonight. There are some things we need to talk about, things that have been hidden for too long. It won't be easy, but together, we'll face whatever comes our way."

The room was filled with a heavy silence, the weight of our unspoken secrets hanging in the air.

"Hee?" I looked at Heeseung who looked so pale, but he managed to nod.

The room was heavy with an unsettling silence as Heeseung hesitated, his gaze fixed on the floor, as if searching for the right words to begin his tale. Sunghoon, Niki, Jake, Jungwon, Jay, and I sat in a tight circle, our eyes locked on Heeseung, waiting for him to share his story.

Finally, Heeseung's voice trembled as he continued, "I used to be in a relationship with someone. And that was Beomgyu. The one Niki met."

A hush fell over the room as the weight of those words sank in. Sunghoon and Jungwon had a panicked face while Niki, Jake, and Jay had a confused but surprised face.

"We were classmates," Heeseung went on, "a-and we started dating. I liked him a lot, maybe even too much. But as time went by, things... changed."
