Where I Found Home ||| Ateez (Yunwoo)

Yunho walks down the road to a place that sells chicken he knows Wooyoung will love. As he turns a corner, he bumps into someone.

"I'm sor-" Yunho cuts himself off when he looks up and is face to face with Hyunjin.

"Hey Yunho. It's been a while." Familiar, wide, longing eyes look up at him.

The taller is quick to step back. "What the hell are you doing here Hyunjin? How the fuck did you find me?"

Hyunjin pouts heavily. "I missed you. I'm better. I got help and I want a second chance. Please Yunnie?"

"Don't call me that."

Hyunjin takes a step closer but Yunho takes a bigger step back.

"Why are you doing this?" Hyunjin asks. "Why??"

"You know why, Hyunjin. And I need you to leave me alone." Yunho stands firm, his face set with a hard glare.

Hyunjin's gaze darkens a little. "Why? So, you can pretend to be happy with your new whore? I thought I meant something to you. I love you, Yunnie!"

"You don't love me Hyunjin! You never loved me. You may think you did but you just wanted to control me!" Yunho snaps. "You tried to put your death on my hands. You fucking manipulated me! And don't you dare call Wooyoung a whore!"

"I didn't manipulate you. I just... I was a little broken. I'm better now! I got released from the hospital. I'm on meds. I promise it won't be like last time." Hyunjin tries to explain.

Yunho looks up and shakes his head. "No, Hyunjin. You aren't better if you tracked me down knowing that I left because of you. And if you really loved me, you would let me move on from your bullshit." Yunho says before pushing past Hyunjin to walk away.

"Yunho, please! Just talk to me!"

"Leave me the fuck alone." Yunho growls, storming away from the man behind him.

But Hyunjin grabs his arm and spins him around.

The movement caught Yunho by surprise and he ends up stumbling a little.

Which Hyunjin uses to his advantage to grab the back of Yunho's neck and pull him into a fiery kiss.

Yunho instantly pulls back shoving Hyunjin away so hard he falls over. Yunho can feel tears building in his eyes. "If you ever do that again I swear I will-"

"Punish me? Do it, Daddy!" Hyunjin cuts him off. He clasps his hands together in front of his chest and gives him a perfectly submissive look.

"Stay the fuck away from us. Unlike Korea, I have people here who will protect me. If I see you again, I'm calling the cops." And with that Yunho almost runs away leaving a pissed off Hyunjin on the ground.

He takes a few random turns, just in case Hyunjin decides to follow him, then when he's alone in a side ally, he crumples completely.

His knees fold and he balances on the balls of his feet while cupping the back of his head with both hands. Tears drip onto the pavement beneath him, leaving near perfect circles each time.

Then the hate begins...

He hates himself for letting Hyunjin affect him like this. He hates himself for crying like a child. He hates himself for the small part that tells him what happened to Hyunjin really was his fault...

He lets out a scream and turns to punch his fist into the brick wall behind him and crumples again. This wasn't happening. He gets up and runs back to his house taking the long way to avoid possible running into Hyunjin again. He needs Wooyoung.
