Chapter 36

"ni-ki! open the door!" sunoo yelled as he continously banged on the wooden surface. he was convinced that he awoke the whole neighborhood, but he didnt care. ni-ki's safety was his top priority, and he would never forgive himself if something bad happened to him.

after waiting for what felt like an eternity, the door opened wide, revealing ni-ki who still had his pajamas on. it took a while for his vision to adjust. after seeing that it was sunoo in front of him, he immediately closed the door but sunoo quickly blocked it with his foot.

ni-ki stared at him, confused as to why the older was trying to force himself in "let me in ni-ki this is important. i know you hate me right now but please, let me in. i promise i wont bother you anymore after this" sunoo said.

the younger sighed in defeat. he slowly opened the door and sunoo immediately went inside his house and looked around, trying to find something without uttering a single word "what are you looking for?" ni-ki asked, walking closer to the older. sunoo audibly gasped when he spotted a tiny camera hidden behind ni-ki's tv.

ni-ki's eyes widened in shock "w-who put that in there?!" he asked. sunoo threw the camera on the ground and crushed it with his foot. he took a seat on the couch in his living room and stared at the pieces of metal in horror. a few seconds later, tears started to fall down his face "im sorry this is all my fault" he sobbed.

"is it because of that stalker?" ni-ki asked him. he took a seat beside the older and leaned his head on the couch, sighing. sunoo nodded and covered his face while sobbing "im so sorry" he sobbed once more. ni-ki slightly tilted his head to look at the older "sunoo hyung" he placed his hand on sunoo's shoulder before continuing "none of this is your fault. please dont blame yourself" he added. sunoo didnt reply and continued sobbing.

the younger fixed his posture and turned his body towards sunoo. he slowly reached for sunoo's hands and placed them on his lap "dont cry" ni-ki added, cupping sunoo's cheeks afterwards and wiping his tears with his thumb "the only person to blame is your stalker, hyung" he added.

sunoo looked at him and immediately threw his arms around the younger, sobbing. ni-ki quickly returned the hug and played with the olders hair while waiting for him to calm down "i missed you.. so much" sunoo managed to utter in between his sobs "i got a message from that person a while ago. they said that they were on their way to your  house" the older added.

"i would never forgive myself if something bad happened to you. please understand. i know we broke up but i wont leave this place till i know you're safe, okay?" sunoo said. ni-ki pursed his lips and interwined his hands with sunoo's. "its okay" ni-ki replied "i wouldve done the same thing if i was in your shoes" he continued.

sunoo pulled away from the hug to face him and they looked at each other for a few seconds, the silence in the room starting to get louder as time passed by. their eyes were filled with so many emotions and unspoken words. the both of them quickly realized how much they missed each others presence but because of the heated argument they had just a few weeks ago, no one dared to talk about it.

"i know its still pretty early.. but do you want to eat anything?" ni-ki offered, breaking the eye contact and looking at random objects in his house. sunoo cleared his throat and clicked the side of his phone to check the time "no im alright" he replied.

ni-ki nodded and stood up without saying a word, leaving the older confused but he shrugged it off anyway. a few minutes later, he came back with a thick blanket and a pillow, throwing it on the couch "you can take my bed. ill sleep here" ni-ki said "no i couldnt possibly. ill sleep here instead" sunoo replied.

the younger shook his head and threw his body on the couch, leaving sunoo with no choice but to sleep in his room "youre too tall to sleep on the couch ni-ki" sunoo sighed "its okay" ni-ki replied.
