STRINGS OF MY HEART | SVT | JEONGCHEOL [✓]

•Choi Palace•

Why are you blaming Seungcheol for everything when it's just your karma that's hitting you?

Once you failed to protect your mom so now obviously, you deserve all this.

Worst son ever.

Just gained everyone's sympathy later on and today too, everyone is sympathizing with you.

Pathetic.

You just know how to use that pretty face of yours to depict how innocent you are.

But you yourself know how much of a loser and monster you actually are.

Jeonghan woke up while clutching his chest. He looked back to see Seungcheol sleeping peacefully beside him.

Jeonghan exhaled a deep breath as he grazed his fingers through his hair. He cautiously stood up from the bed and went into the bathroom.

He splashed water on his face after which he looked at himself in the mirror.

He let out a frustrated sigh, "Why can't I get some peace for once?! Can things stop bothering me at least in my sleep?"

Sleeping was itself a nightmare for him. Eight out of ten times he would just wake up after these kind of ridiculous dreams where he was painted as the worst person ever.

The outside world was cruel but definitely not more than his dreamland.

He sighed as he closed his eyes while his hands rested on the platform.

It was when he heard a knock on the door, "Jeonghan? Are you okay?"

Jeonghan flinched lightly, "Yeah."

He didn't get any response so he focused back on himself. After calming down for a while, he stepped out of the bathroom to witness Seungcheol sitting on the bed.

"Why are you not sleeping?" Jeonghan asked.

"Are you having trouble again?" Seungcheol questioned.

"No."

"Stop lying."

"How does that even matter to you?" Jeonghan scoffed.

"You won't believe me, anyways." Seungcheol sighed, "Let's go the Serenity Lake."

"Seungcheol, just sleep, I'll manage." Jeonghan muttered.

"I know you will." Seungcheol nodded, "But it's really not necessary for you to deal with everything alone."

"It is what I'm supposed to do." Jeonghan looked away.

"Is it? Then even I'm supposed to deal with everything alone." Seungcheol sternly stated, "Why did you take care of me when dad was sick? Why are you supporting and putting up with me, then? If you don't want me to look out for you then you shouldn't take care of me either."

Jeonghan felt his heart sink as he remained silent.

Seungcheol approached him and offered his hand, "Come with me, for once. I'm not your enemy, Jeonghan."

Jeonghan contemplated for a while after which he held the older's hand. Seungcheol chuckled as both of them soon reached the beautiful night of the Serenity Lake.

Seungcheol whistled as a white horse appeared in front of their eyes. It was majestic and ethereal, with well defined and glittery aura.

"Do you want to ride a horse? It will be fun." Seungcheol offered.
