My Mistake || Hyunsung

7 | Regrets

A few weeks had past since Jisung had been staying at his family home and had no contact with his friends who tried to get in touch but didn't get any response because Jisung was afraid of jeopardising their careers.

There was still no update on who broke into their apartment or who spread the photos or who hurt Felix. It was frustrating to say the least.

Still confused about what was going on, Jeongin decided to meet Jisung to check on him. He wasn't directly involved with the Park Modeling Group so technically he could still pass messages between Jisung and their friends.

"How you holding up?" Jeongin asked.

"Not too bad," Jisung replied, "Given the circumstances. How are you and the boys?"

"We all miss you," Jeongin looked at Jisung in pity, "Don't worry though, Seungmin's been working super hard to find who caused this. They're pretty sure they've got one of the guys."

"That's good," Jisung smiled. He looked exhausted. It didn't seem like he was eating or sleeping well. Could you blame him? People still recognised him from that photo he wanted nothing to do with.

It didn't seem fair, in Jisung's mind, that Hyunjin didn't have it nearly as bad as he did. Hyunjin was in that photo too so why wasn't it affecting him?

Jeongin decided to stay with Jisung as long as possible that day. He thought he might need the company, but he had to leave reluctantly when it started to become dark.

"I'll see you again soon, okay? Take care," Jeongin hugged Jisung.

"You too, take care of the boys for me as well," Jisung waved his friend off before turning to leave.

The brunette had his hood over his lowered head and his hands in his pocket as he walked down a dark and empty alleyway, making his way back to his family home.

Suddenly he was stopped by a random man who looked to be in his mid forties. He was short and round and resembled a sewer rat.

"Heyyy," the guy chuckled in amusement, "Aren't you that boy who was caught in a bathroom with that Hwang Hyunjin up there?"

Jisung looked up at the billboard the guy was pointing at then looked back down with a frown. "Excuse me, sir, I'm trying to get home," Jisung tried to walk around the guy but he just blocked him and cornered him until he was pressed up against a wall, "I'm not looking for any trouble."

"Neither am I," the guys smiled, "I just want some of what Hwang got."

"W-What?"

"Just a-" as the guy was reaching for Jisung, a voice came from down the alley.

"Don't touch him,"

Jisung and the man turned to see a shadow approaching them.

"Or what?" The old man asked.

"Fuck around and find out," Junwoo said, appearing into the light.

The old man scoffed, "I was an MMA fighter back in the day, kid, you won't stand a chance."

"Try me," Junwoo stared at him with dead eyes.

The old man laughed and threw a punch at Junwoo but was taken by surprise when he dodged it and threw a punch straight back in his face.

Jisung sat on the floor in shock until Junwoo was done and rushed over to him, "Are you alright? Were you hurt?" He was surprised when Jisung threw his arms around him but smiled as he hugged him back, "It's okay. I'm here now."

"What are you doing here?" Jisung asked as the two went out to eat dinner.

"You weren't answering my calls or texts," Junwoo replied, grilling some meat, "I was worried. Especially after.. you know."

"I'm sorry," Jisung apologised, "I fell out with some friends because we spoke so late into the night that I woke up late and missed my meeting and put everyone on the spot and almost ruined everything that I-"

"Hey," Junwoo cut Jisung off, "It's okay, breathe. Here, drink some water." He poured some cold water into Jisung's glass.

Jisung thanked him and drank some of the water.

"I'm assuming you saw the photos," Jisung turned red in embarrassment.

"Yeah," Junwoo answered.

"And you've seen the things people have been saying?"

"Yeah," Junwoo pressed his lips into a thin line.

"Don't you think it's a bad idea to be seen in public with me?"

Junwoo just smiled and reached over the table to hold Jisungs hands and give them a reassuring squeeze, "I don't care what people think if they see me with you. You did nothing wrong. My only regret is not coming to see you sooner to make sure you were okay. Fans can be.. a lot."

He glance over at the meat and wrapped a piece in some lettuce with some rice and held it towards Jisung's mouth, "Here, eat."

"Oh, it's Jisung's house, I hope he's okay," Felix said with a frown, "I can't imagine how he must be feeling right now all alone."

"Chan said he's refusing to talk to anyone," Minho added causing Felix to smirk and wiggle his eyebrows at him, "What's that look for?"

"You've been talking to Channie a lot lately and I can distinctively remember you guys looking a little flushed that night we stayed at yours," Felix grinned again.

"What are you..? Ohhhh, nooo, Yongbok I swear it wasn't what it looked like," Minho shook his head and waved his hands.

"Mmmmhm," Felix raised an eyebrow as Minho continued to plead with him to believe that it really wasn't what it seemed until Minho got tired and decided to chase Felix down the road as the younger giggled like the menace he was.

Hyunjin chuckled in amusement then glanced at Jisung's house. Slowing down when he noticed the door open.

'Who would be leaving this late at night?' he thought to himself, trying to get a better look at who it was, "Min Junwoo..?"

Hyunjin watched as Jisung stood by the door laughing. His face was practically glowing when he smiled up at Junwoo.

Hyunjin was about to walk away but something inside felt like it was being turned upside down when he saw Junwoo lean in for a kiss.

Hyunjin clenched his jaw and fists but scoffed at his reaction, "What am I even getting worked up over? We were never even friends. Why would he listen to me when I warned him about that psycho?"

He shook his head and followed his friends back to wherever they were going, 'I won't be surprised when he regrets not listening to me.'
