What's Broken Can't Be Fixed

34

     Chris places small kisses on Seungmin's cheek, trying to soothe him as best he can. "I won't leave again... I promise." He says, rubbing Seungmin's back. "I'm really sorry... that I did this to you..."

     "No... stop..." Seungmin really didn't like crying. "You didn't do anything to me." Chris wipes his tears away; he didn't like seeing the boy cry either.

     "Come on, let's go to sleep..." The two lay down, never breaking eye contact. It was silent for a moment. "Do you... want me to hold you?" Seungmin nods, snuggling up closer to Chris' body. "Goodnight..."

     It was early in the morning. At least 4. Hyunjin opens his eyes and touches his side. Seungmin was right, he was fully healed. He gets up and walks to the bathroom, slipping his shirt over his head. There was a little blood on the bandages but when he unwraps it there was a scar. Hyunjin throws it away in the garbage and then makes his way upstairs.

     He opens the door to his bedroom, and there he is. Felix, sleeping peacefully. He looks pale and thinner than he used to. He has dark circles under his eyes and cracked lips. Did he really have that hard of a time without him? Hyunjin approaches the boy and gently taps him on the shoulder. "Felix... wake up..."

     That voice. It was familiar to him. He opens his eyes, and they land on Hyunjin. However, the only thing that happens is his eyes well up. "...Are you real?" His voice was quiet and hoarse. His expression wasn't sad it was.... Just dull. Like there was nothing there.

     "Yeah... I am..."

     "Are you... really...?" Felix didn't seem to believe him. It was like that time... when he found Felix in the forest, and he thought that he was hallucinating. Felix stands up, Hyunjin studying his every move, waiting for what he is going to do.

     Slowly, Felix reaches out, gently placing his hand on Hyunjin's cheek. Warm. Felix lets out a sharp breath as his hand travels down to Hyunjin's neck. More tears begin to form and drip down his face. His dull expression falters, and he sobs his heart out. Felix grabs onto Hyunjin, hugging him tight. "I'm sorry..." He whispers, kissing the top of the boy's head. "I'm sorry for leaving..."

     Everyone was awake at this point. Felix was crying so loud, but he didn't care, he was just glad to have Hyunjin back.

     9 hours ago, when they all were standing outside and reuniting, Minho had called Yeonjun. He told Yeonjun about Soul and Misun. Minutes later a car pulls up, and sitting in it is Yeji and her girls. Jisu immediately smiles when she sees Misun, but they treat Soul like a newborn child. They baby him, telling him how cute he is.

     Yeji drives them back to the boys' house first. Immediately Kai runs up to Soul. "Hi!" He yells, surprising the other.

     "Hello..."

     "What's your name?"

     "Soul... what about you?"

     "Kai! Soul is a cool name!"

     "Thanks..." Soul was rather hesitant to talk to the others, but he ended up getting comfortable. Misun also takes a liking to Taehyung really quickly, but she wishes she didn't have to go away from Hyunjin.

     Back in the present, Jisung is sitting on his bed. Minho walks inside with a glass of water in one hand and a chocolate bar in the other. He hands the chocolate to Jisung, which surprises him. "Oh... thanks." Jisung mumbles, starting to unwrap the bar.

     "It's really good. Probably my favorite." Minho responds.

     "Really?"

     "Only the best to satisfy that sweet tooth of yours." Minho says, rubbing under Jisung's chin. It was quiet after that as they just sit in silence. Minho takes a sip of his water then pulls out his phone. "Shouldn't you be going to sleep by now?" Jisung glances at him and simply shakes his head. "You're not tired?"
