The Unforgotten Night | JIHAN FF | COMPLETED

THE LOSS FELT HARD

The next day, Joshua was discharged, seeing that the wound was only superficial. And hadn't caused much injury. But Jeonghan was still there.

Jeonghan was still s*icidal and so the doctor decided to keep him for a bit long. Although, Joshua promised him to visit everyday.

Today was a normal day, as usual, Jeonghan was up and waiting for Joshua. Although he didn't accept the fact that he was falling for him as well, he still was looking forward to meet Joshua everyday and was particularly sad when it was time for him to leave.

It was 12pm in the afternoon and Joshua was still not here. Seungcheol could see the worry and the anxiousness on his best friend's face.

"Don't worry too much. He's not as idle as you. He's the CEO of a famous company and he has work. Despite that he makes time for you, so if one day he is late or isn't able to come, you should understand him." He explained and recieved a groan from his friend.

"He should tell me if he's busy. Am I asking him to leave his work and come to meet me?" Jeonghan said in the most dramatic way and Seungcheol knew he mean the exact opposite.

"Okay, fine." He said and gave up, but later came with an idea.

"Hannie, you look good today and your condition has improved since a few days. Do you want to go visit your parents?" Seumgcheol asked and Jeonghan's face went pale.

It's not that he didn't want to visit, he wasn't just ready to accept the fact that his whole family was no more.

"Umm.. what if Shua comes here and doesn't find me?" He changed the topic.

"Hannie, I will text him. Don't change the topic. Just say Yes or No. I can understand if you say No. Its not easy, I know." Seungcheol walked upto him and gave him a small hug.

"No, I am ready. Let's go." Jeonghan said and got up to get ready.

He wore a whirt shirt and a blue jeans. His hairs were messed up and he didn't bother to comb them. He got his sunglasses on and they both left after asking for a permission from his doctor.

Seungcheol drove to the cemetry which wasn't too far from the health centre. Once they were there, he parked at the parking and both started walking.

Seungcheol had made sure to get a bouquet of white lilies which Jeonghan liked. And they were suitable for the situation. Once they reached the graves, he left Jeonghan there and stood at a little distance.

Jeonghan slowly lifted his head up and took off his glasses. He didn't dare to look at the tombstones, but when he did, he felt a pang of pain in his heart and he held his chest. He fell on his knees and bowed doen three times..

One tear dropped, then another and then another, and then they flowed non-stop. Apart from Seungcheol and Jeonghan, there was someone else who was there as well. Woozi.

Woozi was there with one of his friends for someone's funeral. And he happened to see these two friends of his.

Woozi was suprised (more shocked) when he saw Jeonghan obviously who was crying, and Seungcheol standing at a distance.

"Wtf-" he almost cursed and his friend looked at him with wide eyes.
"You go ahead. I will call you later." And he left without even looking at his friend.

Woozi walked and got to where Seungcheol was. "What are you doing?" He asked him and Seungcheol was shocked to see him there. "Babe, why? How come you are here?" He asked Woozi who just gave him a stare and went to Jeonghan.

He hugged Jeonghan kneeling besides him. "You can let go, Han. Okay? Just let it all go." He tried to comfort his friend, Jeonghan who literally broke down in his friend's arms.

"It- It hurts, Woozi.." Jeonghan said in between his cries and hearing this, Seungcheol somehow realised why Woozi had given him the angry stare.

He walked to the other side of Jeonghan and held him. Jeonghan just couldn't help himself control, he was crying very badly and unknowing the two people trying to comfort him found themselves crying along instead of comforting him.

"How? How could you leave him on his own and stand there?" Woozi asked Seungcheol. "I'm sorry, baby. But I just wanted him to face it and let it go." Seungcheol replied and Woozi, "And for that, he has to have somebody on whom he can rely and lean on if he breaks down." And Seungcheol felt more guilty.

"Hannie, I am sure wherever they are, they must be looking down at you and feeling bad as well. You are not a small kid or a college student anymore. Seungcheol and I have been looking after your parent's company for all these years. It wasn't easy for your parents to get it to where it is right now." Woozi told Jeonghan who still had his head rested on Woozi's shoulder.

"Hannie, the company is made up of your parents' hardwork. And now you have to take care that their efforts and hard work don't go down the drain. Okay?" Seungcheol asked and Jeonghan nodded.

It was absolutely heart breaking for the two of them to see Jeonghan in this state. But somehow they had to keep themselves strong in order to make sure their friend was okay.

"Yoon Jeonghan, look at me." Woozi called him by his full name. He held Jeonghan's face in both his hands and wiped his tears. "You are allowed to cry, as much as you want. But only for today. From tomoro, we are getting ready to move and take charge of everything that is rightfully yours." Woozi told him and he nodded, his tears still not stopping.

Jeonghan was literally shaking and trembling trying not to cry. Seunghcheol hugged him from back and brushed his hairs. "Hannie, let's say one last goodbye to Mom Dad and Jieun, umm?" He asked him and Jeonghan nodded.

Jeonghan turned to look at his family's tombstone once again. He sobbed and sobbed and finally for one last time paid his respects by bowing three times.

"Mom, Dad, Jieun, I'm... I don't know how to say goodbye. I am not ready yet. But, (looking at his two friends), Woozi and Seungcheolie say that I have to face it all and let go. (Sniffs) I still have to look after the company you set up with lot of hard work. Mom, Dad, do you think I can do that? Jieuni, you were so young. I didn't even get to spend a lot of time with you. I'm sorry (sobs). Maybe in next life, we can all be a family again." That was his limit and he sat on the floor crying.

Woozi and Seungcheol the good friends they were, hugged their friend tight as he let it all out. Suprisingly to both, Jeonghan's cries slowly faded until they could hear him breathing hoarsely since he cried a lot.

"Babe, where's your car? Can you get around somewhere near?" Woozi asked still patting Jeonghan's head slowly and Seunghceol gave him a thumbs up, "Yeah, sure" and he left.

Within minutes, Seunghceol was there. Seungcheol carefully lifted Jeonghan from Woozi's arms in bridal style and carried him to the car. Woozi got in from other side, laying Jeonghan's head on his shoulder side hugging him.

"Drive slowly, it's better if he's not awake. Let him rest." Woozi told his boyfriend who blew a kiss in return. "You know, baby, thank you. I don't know how I could handle him, if you weren't here. I would have lost my brains back then, if I didn't have you supporting me all the way till now." He said smiling.

"I love you more." Woozi gave his beautiful cat smile and Seungcheol pretended to be struck in chest and then they drove off back to the health centre.
