In Another Life

Flashback: Break Up + Present Day: Interview

Jooyeon arrived at the concert site, and the first thing he saw was Jungsu having fun with the guy he had been jealous of lately. He simply sighed and entered the hall.

Later, it was Xdinary Heroes' set, and they started getting ready for the show. As the group is currently gaining popularity, some fans have already gathered on the site and are shouting about their favorite members. They started the performance with an upbeat song called "Zzz..." which made the audience have a fun time while Jooyeon watched the performance while studying for tomorrow's exam.

"Baby, did you like our performance? "Jungsu came down to the stage after the performance and approached Jooyeon.

"Certainly! It was so good," Jooyeon answered briefly. Jungsu noticed that his boyfriend was not in the mood.

"You seriously still brought your reviewer here?! Can't you at least enjoy our performance or at least watch it?"Jungsu responded, clearly annoyed and angry at the moment. Jooyeon pulled Jungsu out of the hall and continued the argument.

They went outside, and at that moment, they both had a huge fight.

"If only you knew that I even skipped a study group just to come here. Can't you just appreciate my presence here? "Jooyeon said it irritably.

"You could have just gone with your study group and not come here. Sorry to distract you," Jungsu responded sarcastically, which made Jooyeon's blood boil even more.

While they were arguing, some people were already watching what was happening, as every time they talked, they attracted the attention of passersby.

"I'm so tired of this. I'm so tired of arguing with you every single day. I don't even complain when you come home late. Even if I know you're having fun with Minhwan," Jooyeon pulled his hair out of frustration and pointed at Jungsu's friend.

"Now you're even blaming Minhwan, even though he wasn't involved. We're just friends, damn it, and I'm not even cheating on you," Jungsu said disappointedly, glaring at Jooyeon for accusing him of being unfaithful.

At this moment, Jooyeon was offended by hearing these words from his lover. "You know that I'm already graduating from school next month. Please wait a little longer. Please, you know what that doesn't matter anymore. I'm so tired of this, and I'm breaking up with you," Jooyeon said firmly.

"Fine. If that's what you want, then let's break up," Jungsu shouted, and his friend Minhwan hugged him.

Jooyeon hurriedly left and called a taxi to go to their shared apartment to start packing. He decided not to stay there any longer. But Jungsu and the others remained in place, and at this time he had already broken down.

"Hush, Jungsu. He doesn't understand your problems at all." Minhwan simply comforted Jungsu in his arms, and he simply cried for his own pleasure.

Since Wonderland happened, the Xdinary Heroes recent song has been played on radio and television. You can tell they made a breakthrough with the song because they know it expresses regret and the raw emotions that are expressed in the song. The band is happy to finally get the recognition they deserve. As for Jooyeon, he would hear the new single everywhere he went. The event runs through his mind, from the introduction of the song to the realization that it is dedicated to him. He just sighed and continued walking towards his friend's house.

"So, your song Fools (Reprise) was a huge hit, so can you tell us about the process or inspiration for writing the song? "

Gunil looked worriedly at his friend and bandmate who was next to him because the latter might break down or say random things during the interview. Jungsu patted Gunil's knee and assured him that he wouldn't do anything to embarrass himself.

"The song is about regret, regretting not being able to appreciate the person you love when you're still together. Basically, you took that person's efforts for granted," Jungsu answered seriously. He is proud that he was able to show his vulnerable side through songwriting.

"Actually, when we first heard the song, we were drawn to it. We fell in love with the way the message reaches your heart because it was so raw and honest. On the same day, we recorded the song, and it was released on April 20." Hyeongjun smiled from ear to ear as he was proud of his friend, which made Jungsu fondly roll his eyes at Hyeongjun.

"Is this song conceptualized or did it come from experience?"

"You can interpret it as a concept, and at the same time, it can be anyone's experience. We wanted listeners to feel the message of the song and could freely interpret the song itself." Seungmin cheekily answered the question for the audience to freely interpret if it was conceptualized or not.

After the interview, they packed all their bags and headed to their van because it was their last agenda for the day.

"You really saved his ass back there, Minnie," Gunil said, making them laugh at his statement.

"If it wasn't for me, he would seriously share his love life there." Seungmin said the truth, which made Jungsu slap Seungmin's shoulder playfully, making the latter wince in pain.

"I didn't want to share my failed love life," Jungsu answered in defeat because he knew he couldn't lie in front of his friends.

"Seriously, Jungsu, start moving on, and he's not coming back to you anymore. Stop thinking about him every day." Minhwan nagged his friend and rolled his eyes at him.

"It's hard to move on, especially since we've been dating for four years. We've been living under the same roof for two years, so how can I move on from him?!" Jungsu combed his hair out of frustration and got into their van because he wasn't in the mood anymore.

When Jungsu arrived at his unit, he sent a message to his ex-boyfriend.

"Hey, I don't know if you're still using this number, but I hope you heard our new song. Sorry about everything. Have a good night!" After texting his ex, he prepares himself to finally take a shower and rest because he's had a tiring day.

As for Jooyeon, he was shocked when he received a message from Jungsu because they had not had any contact for the past five months.

Jooyeon tweeted, "Is it normal for your ex to message you?"
