Where I Found Home ||| Ateez (Yunwoo)

25

It's a struggle for Yunho to concentrate on anything as he gets ready for work. His mind still reels with all the things that could be wrong.

Yunho pulls up to the shop and walks in to see Mingi and Jongho behind the counter talking.

"Dude," Mingi says in shock when he sees him. "Did he say no?"

Yunho doesn't answer and just walks into his studio to prepare for his client. He needed to make it through his appointment so he could get back to Wooyoung.

"Hey," Mingi knocks on his open door. "What happened?"

"He said yes."

Mingi steps in. "The why do you look like you have been crying?"

"Because he also had a full-on panic attack and I don't know what to do." Yunho's voice is calm, almost monotonous as he works to get his station set up.

"What?" Mingi asks hesitantly. "What happened?"

"I have no fucking idea."

Mingi frowns. "What happened, Yunho?"

"I DON'T FUCKING KNOW, MINGI!" Yunho turns on him and shouts.

Mingi takes a step back. "Just talk to me."

Yunho sits in his chair and feels like he can't breathe. "We went home after he accepted the proposal and we were having sex and all of the sudden he looks at me like he doesn't know who I am. He screams at me to get away from him and just starts having a panic attack. He won't fucking talk to me and I don't know what I did or what happened to him and I feel like I'm dying not knowing how to help him."

Mingi moves to sit on the couch, concern written all over his face. "Who did he think you are?"

"He said Huta." Yunho's head falls forward into his hands. "I just don't understand... this came out of nowhere!"

"Don't bite my head off, I'm just trying to be your friend Yunho. But how well do you really know him? His past and experiences?"

"I'm not going to force him to tell me everything if he isn't ready. Maybe this Huta person fucked him up. I don't know!" Yunho snaps.

"You shouldn't have come in today man. Let Jongho take your appointment."

Yunho shakes his head. "I don't want to smother him. He needs time to process. He did the same for me when Hyunjin showed up."

Mingi sighs and walks over to Yunho to clap him on the shoulder. "You guys will work it out. I've never seen two people more meant for each other." He says, then starts walking toward the door.

"Except maybe me and San." He adds with a smirk then sticks out his tongue.

Yunho can't help but laugh a little at his friend while he grabs an empty container and hurls it across the room. "Cheeky bastard."

Yunho sits a minute to think. Maybe he should go home to take care of Wooyoung. Yunho gets up and manages to tell Jongho to cover for him as he leaves the shop to go home.

When he gets there, he runs up to stairs to see Wooyoung isn't in bed. That's good. At least he is up. He walks in the bathroom and sees the younger in the shower and decides to slip in behind him.

"Woo?"

Wooyoung jumps then relaxes when he sees its Yunho.

"Are you feeling okay?"

"I'm okay. I think I just had some type of hallucination last night. Like my brain was playing tricks on me for being happy."

Yunho steps in behind the younger to hold him. "Will you tell me who Huta is?"
