26.Disaster Strikes

✮Hyunjin's Pov✮

I walk into the room as I see Minho sitting in the dark "Dramatic much?" I wait for a while before I see that he's not saying anything. Did he fall asleep in the living room last night? I know he wouldn't sleep in the living room sober. I walk closer to see multiple bottles of soju laying on the glass coffee table.

"Minho" I call his name as he's indeed passed out on the sofa. I kneel down in front of him as I shake his shoulders lightly "Jisung" I shout hoping not to wake Felix but enough where I can Jisung can help me carry Minho back to his bed.

"Yah not so loud" Minho grumbles as he grabs my wrist as he sits up rubbing his head "Jisung isn't home,Don't tell Felix yet but father got hit by a car when I was walking him back home,I didn't see the car driving fast and it hit him I don't want Felix blaming me"

"Why would Felix blame you? He looks up to you and he wants to be you even. You are his role model even though he doesn't let it on." Minho looks over at me as a bit of light returns to his eyes.

"He does? You really think so? Please don't tell him about this just yet,just let him sleep for a while until more information on his health is. I wanted to go with him but I can't face him..I should have tried harder to save him. I should have been watching where I was walking but I didn't even think about it since it was late at night and I wanted to have a deep conversation while drinking with his father."

I wrap him into a close hug as I shake my head "You have done nothing wrong and Felix would never blame you for that. Your father loves you so much that he wanted to do anything to protect you rather than to see you hurt. It's just another way that he was showing his unconditional love for you without telling you"

Minho shakes his head trying to free himself from the hug but I've known him long enough,he doesn't cry when he's in pain. He doesn't show he's in pain because he internalizes everything and worries about others,in that way,he's just like Felix. It hurts to see him like this,to see him blame himself when it's no where near his fault.

"I'll tell him everything in the morning but I won't wake him." I mutter to him "On one condition,don't ever blame yourself or think that you aren't worth having around." I rub his shoulders as he relaxes into his arm. I feel him nod before he leans his forehead onto my shoulder.

"I'm sorry that you had to see me that way. I just couldn't help but to drown my thoughts that way. I mean what if he dies?" The first time that I heard fear in his voice,it's Felix's father but I think he thinks of him more like a father since Minho's father died before he even really knew who he was.

"I hope he doesn't but he did it because the way I think about it is parents don't want to bury their child first and they don't know that you're an everlasting either. So of course when someone's life is in danger,you're going to shield the person. If both Felix and I were mortals and I had to choose between my life and his,I would save him"

Minho runs his fingers through his brown hair before looking at me "I know that you may think of it that way but that's Felix's actual father. What if he hates me like you hated me back then? I could never face him and I would hate myself for the rest of eternity."

So many thoughts run through his head and I wouldn't say that I'm totally blameless for that. He did hear how much I hated him and so many bad things when I was on the phone with Jisung. I don't blame Jisung for keeping the secret that Minho was alive. To protect the one I love,I would do the same thing,except I know Felix would never do something that bad.

"He won't,I promise you. He'll eventually have to see his father and mother die and that's just a part of the curse of being immortal. What's important is that you talk to him and explain it. At first I said I was going to tell him tomorrow but then it could go into a misunderstanding so I want you to."
