AFTER YOU | ENHYPEN (히승/ HEESEUNG)

24: new life

-3 Years Later -

"HANEUL COME ON, I'M GONNA LEFT YOU IF YOU'RE NOT GONNA DRAG YOUR ASS HERE!" a loud voice echoes the room, the guy was standing by the doorstep staring at his watch while waiting for the girl done with her business.

a rushing steps went direct towards sunghoon with her furrowed eyebrows. "What the heck sunghoon, my stomach hurt! You can't even want for five minutes" haneul whine, rolling her eyes in frustration. This morning when her stomach surprised her with sudden ache due to her period.

"You make me wait for ten minutes. Now you said what? Five? So ridiculous, so be honest with yourself" sunghoon says, scoffing loudly as he gets irritated with haneul.

A grunt escape haneul lips as she wear her blazer. "Fine fine! I'm sorry. My stomach hurt.. sorry for making you wait" haneul sigh, lowering her heads. Though she doesn't want to but she admits that this is her fault. The guy plastered a soft smirk as she looks at Haneul with soft gaze, but quickly wipe it off when he caught himself smiling.

Without giving any warning, sunghoon wrap his arm around her shoulder and clear his throat. "Whatever, buy me dinner next time. Let's go, they're waiting for us" he says and both of them start walking to his car.

Today marked three years after heeseung left. With support of her friends haneul didn't have any hope that heeseung would comeback for her, no one understands the love she held for Heeseung, not even Sunoo. Her love is wide as ocean but she knew even if she waits for him, nothing's gonna happens.

She accepted the fact that there's no "us" anymore between her and him. She also got to achieve everything she wants in this period of time. Through the moment where she lost in the dark maze, they helped her. They help her get through everything. She gets to learned new thing, new world where it filled with joy. As if the new world she been waiting for.

But,

Nothing in the world last forever, everyone come and go. Some passed just like wind, some passed like rain. It's fine to mourn and let go of it. For Haneul, no more holding onto something didn't stay forever. No more attempt to hurt herself.

All she does was, taking a deep breathe and let it out with a deep sigh. She let the world take everything, nothing worth to fight for. Why bother to fight when the person doesn't even try to fight for us.

"Haneul!"

A female voice called, the girl turn around and see her friends coming toward her with a glass of wine. Ryeon pants heavily with smile on her face, chuckling with excitement once she reach haneul.

"Why? Do you need my help?" Haneul ask, since they're doing some sort of party for Jay. He got promoted last week, the respect haneul have for jay is unbelievable. Jay is like role model to Haneul, because of him, haneul finally trust herself and achieve everything she wants.

Ryeon shook her head and take a deep breathe before she speak. "We're starting soon, let's go!" She says, holding haneul arm. But haneul stopped her from doing so and sigh, the worry and anxious expression on her face makes the girl worry even more. Ryeon quickly give her all attention to Haneul, doesn't want her to do risky thing again.

"Why , why, why? Is there something wrong? Are you sick? Did sunghoon do something to you?" She spammed her with bunch of questions that makes haneul laugh. She shakes her head and told her to calm down.

"No it's not like that. I just have this sudden thought. Do you think what I've got now is truly my own achievement?" Haneul ask, once again the anxious eating her up.

Ryeon gasp and denied her word quickly, doesn't want haneul to think otherwise.

"Sunghoon must've said something right?! I'm gonna beat him later , don't worry. But haneul, why'd you think like that? Is that necessary? I mean to look through it now, I see that you got hidden talent, that's why you got the chance.
