White hair || Seongjoong

12

It was a couple of days after Seonghwa had seen Minjun, it had been a setback. The nightmares were as bad as they were just when Hongjoong had just saved him. That was a little over three weeks ago, nearly a month ago. The sessions with Yunho were like the first ones, Seonghwa did not say much and what he said was with very few details. And with the trust between the white and brown haired men having shifted a bit, Hongjoong wasn't able to comfort the older as well anymore. 

Now today, the brown haired man had to go somewhere and he had to go alone. Though not wanting to leave Seonghwa alone, he called Yunho to ask if he could come over to the apartment or if he could bring Seonghwa to the psychologist's place. Finding it strange, yet understanding that the white haired man probably shouldn't be left alone, the blonde man agreed to come over to the apartment. 

The white haired man did not like that however, Hongjoong had given no explanation on why he had to leave to go somewhere while he would usually explain stuff like that. He had a feeling about what the younger was going to do. They were currently still alone in the apartment, Yunho being on his way there, and were sitting on the couch.

"Hongjoong, you're going somewhere for your revenge plan, aren't you?"

A moment of silence fell between them, the younger letting out a sigh to break it. He couldn't lie about that, he was indeed going somewhere for the plan. It was something he was going to take care of by himself instead of letting the assassin do it. Well, she had done something to make it possible for him to do what he was planning.

"I am."

"Why?"

"Because I can't let the man get away with everything he's done."

"I told you.."

"To not do it? Well, Seonghwa, this isn't only for you... It's for someone else too."

"Your childhood friend."

Hongjoong was surprised to hear that, wasn't Seonghwa asleep when he was explaining the story? He was sure he was. So he decided he would ask.

"How did you-"

"I was awake for a moment and I happened to hear you explain the story to Yunho before I fell back asleep. He didn't seem to notice me being awake either."

"I see.."

Hongjoong hummed, he hadn't thought Seonghwa was awake. It's not that he had wanted to keep the story a secret, but he didn't exactly want a lot of people to know either. He let out a sigh and decided to explain a couple of things.

"Yes, it's for him too. I've been wanting to take revenge ever since I heard the news about my friend's death. I hoped the police would take care of him, but no, that man was allowed to roam free... And then he caused you lots of suffering too.."

"I understand that... He took away your friend."

"My best friend even."

Hongjoong somewhat corrected. He had always seen Wooyoung and his other friend as his best friends. They grew up together. The both of them meant the world to him, but now only one of those two was left.

"Can I ask you something?"

The younger gave a nod in response to the question.

"When did that happen?"

"Almost two years ago. He was almost twenty-two when he went missing and had just turned twenty-three when he died. On August twelfth, it'll be exactly two years since his death."

Seonghwa nodded, he was just curious about that. He was about to say something else, wanting to ask one more thing before he heard a knock on the door, it was probably Yunho. The knock did scare him, again reminding him of that one day. The fear was less strong but still present.
