Unconditional Love

10

Haknyeon was working as usual but he noticed that Younghoon and Juyeon weren't coming to the restaurant quite often anymore, like they used to. He had his suspicions about whether something might have happened to them but he still didn't know about Juyeon's condition yet.

Haknyeon shakes his head off trying to shake off negative thoughts and to not worry about their recent absence. Younghoon and Juyeon are probably busy so Haknyeon shouldn't worry about them too much.

But there's still a bit of unease about their absence which is understandable. However, it is better not to assume the worst and to not think badly of the situation and to wait for more information before making judgements.

Sunwoo and Eric came and Sunwoo look so down.

"Hey, what happened?" asked Haknyeon.

"Sunwoo was sad because one of his senior in football club is injured" said Eric.

"Was it bad?" asked Haknyeon.

"Really bad. Coach said he had a fracture on his left knee. It will recover but he won't able to play again" said Sunwoo.

"I'm sorry to hear that" said Haknyeon.

"I've been trying to cheer him up but nothing work" said Eric.

"I'm sorry" said Sunwoo.

"Don't worry about it. I understand. You really admire him" said Eric.

"I know you like football, Sunwoo but I'm surprise you joining the club with how quiet you are" said Haknyeon.

"At first I don't want to but the senior convinced me to join in" said Sunwoo.

"He said I really have a good talent in football and it might be a good opportunity to become a player" add Sunwoo.

"So, you join in because of him?" guess Haknyeon.

Sunwoo nodded.

"If it wasn't for him, I would have continued to hide" said Sunwoo.

"And I'm even prouder of you, baby" said Eric.

"Thank you, babe" said Sunwoo.

"Who is this senior?" asked Haknyeon.

"Lee Juyeon" said Sunwoo.

Haknyeon was stunned to hear Juyeon name.

"Juyeon? Are you sure?" asked Haknyeon.

"Yeah" said Sunwoo.

Haknyeon couldn't say anything else after the big surprise that Juyeon has been injured. He hadn't known the reason Juyeon hadn't come to the restaurant regularly now. It is surprising to him now that the reason was that Juyeon was injured, which was not a good thing.

Haknyeon was standing at the counter, thinking about Juyeon and he couldn't shake his mind off from Juyeon because he was so worried about him. He wanted to visit Juyeon but he didn't know where the hospital was, and he didn't have his phone number either.

He was too lost in mind that he didn't realize someone came to him.

"Why are you spacing out?"

Haknyeon look and see Hyunjae. He still wearing mask but Haknyeon could immediately recognise him.

"Hyunjae hyung"

"What's wrong?" asked Hyunjae.

Haknyeon told Hyunjae what he heard from Sunwoo.

"I see. Juyeon is in the hospital now. You're thinking about him?" asked Hyunjae.

"I was worried about him. Both Juyeon hyung and Younghoon hyung haven't come to the restaurant and it make me feel worried. Then, I heard about Juyeon hyung from my friends about the accidents" said Haknyeon.
