"Jisung, wait a minute!"
She said and stopped jisung from walking.

"Before you go to the bedroom, can you give this to minho first?" Mrs Lee ( Lee Naeun) asked jisung. "m-me!" He stuttered,

"Yeah, I forgot to give it to him after dinner as I left it here in the living hall," she said.

"But..."
Jisung wants to insist, he hesitated to agreed, he don't want to go to minho, this is also the reason why he didn't agree to stay the night here again,  he don't want to see him now, he would not have the courage to see him, but is there any reason to tell her that he can't ? Nope, so he agreed and headed up.

Jisung walked to the stairs step by step with the thought that he had to go upstairs to talk to minho. He swallows a lump in his throat, getting nervous as he gets closer to minho's room. He feels his body trembling as he steps closer, he knew the moment he'd meet minho, he'd cry again.

He hesitantly knocked on the door twice and waited for minutes. He was about to knock again when the door suddenly opened his hand, hanging in the air ,  looking at the opened door, making eye contact with minho , minho has those scary yet intimidating stares but only minho know in what way he looks at him, and then the stare was sending shiver through jisung's spine, minho was only in a towel around his waist prolly just shower , after staring at minho jisung trurd to avert his attention somewhere , for a moment he forget what he came here for until minho spoke,

"Why are you here?" He bluntly asked annoyingly.

"Oh! M-mom, tell me to give you this,"
He stuttered as he spoke. He looked down at his hand,

Minho takes the box and hums as a respond , he look at jisung, who is still not looking up, jisung pulled his hand back to himself when he fell the box was taken, he didn't even give a last glance at minho and leave immediately.

Minho shut the door when jisung was unable to be seen anymore, he stares at the box in his hand before he put them in the table.

Jisung also went to the room he was told to stay the night for, which was beside near minho's room.

Minho was staring at the ceiling, thinking about the situation his both hands on the back of his head, lost for minutes, but then he was distracted by a sounds, it sounds close to him , it must be somewhere across his room or something.  He shrugged it off and tried to ignore it, but the sounds got a little louder. He  stayed silent from his thoughts and tried to catch the noise.

*sob*

Minho blinked his eyes twice . Where's that sobbing coming from, he listen again, and he heard it again.

*sobs*

Until he realised it came from the other room, a cries was heard , a breathless sniffled. Then, it hit him again, and jisung is crying. Minho stayed numbed upon hearing jisung's cries. His thoughts were kept on pause, and his eyes were staring at the same spot, and then his heart, his heart was feeling uncomfortable,  it arches like he was being pinned by a needles deeply. He tried to distract himself from jisung's cries , but it didn't help. He gets frustrated and angry, feels like hitting the wall, and tells jisung to quiet down his cries, but then he knows for sure he can't do that, telling him to stop crying won't help at all. He had been with jisung since they were kids, and whenever jisung cried, he was there, but why can't he go to jisung's now? How can he sit still and listen to these heartbreaking cries.

This is not minho he was. He is not the minho jisung likes, and this is not the minho he wants to be come......

The cries haven't stopped yet ........
