Shadows of desire || SVT ||

(32) Woozi

Yuri, lost in her thoughts, got up and went to the balcony. She saw someone sitting on the bench with a guitar. Recognizing him from his back, she stepped out and headed to the garden.

She stood behind the guy, listening as he sang and played a hauntingly beautiful song:

"When the shadows grow long and the night feels cold,
My heart is trembling, my courage grows old.
Save me from this darkness, lead me to the light,
With your love beside me, I'll be alright."

Hearing the song, Yuri felt a wave of emotion wash over her. She walked around and sat beside him.

"The song is nice," she said softly. "Never heard of it."

He smiled. "I made it."

"Waah. Its really nice".

They both sat in silence, savoring the calm night air. After a few moments, Yuri broke the silence.

"Sometimes I wonder about you guys. You have different surnames, some of you even hate each other. Why are you living together?"

He sighed, a hint of amusement in his eyes. "Finally, you're getting interested in us, I see," he smirked, catching her off guard.

"Ah, that... um..." she stammered.

"We're not brothers or cousins, just a group thrown together by fate. As you can see, we don't always like each other, especially a few of us. We were never born mafia physcopaths as you say we were also once kids with dreams."

Yuri nodded, understanding the complexity of their relationships and life she also remembered the diary entry she read about jeonghan. "And i think even you can see who is close to whom and who hates each other."

He continued, "But despite all that, we stay together. There's something that binds us, even if it's not always clear. And maybe, just maybe, you'll see it too someday. "

Yuri looked at him and said, "From what I see, I know Scoups and Jeonghan are the closest, and so are Mingyu and Wonwoo. Hoshi and Dino seem close too, and The8 and Jun too. But Hoshi hates Jun, and from what I've seen, Mingyu and Joshua have some kind of beef as well. The others, I don't know much about them."

Woozi nodded, impressed. "Hmm, you are very observant."

"But Why do they hate each other?" Yuri asked, curiosity in her eyes.

Woozi sighed, looking thoughtful. "It's complicated. We've all been through a lot, and sometimes that causes rifts. Joshua and mingyu... it's more of a rivalry. They both have strong personalities and clash over thought process. Jun and hoshi have a history, something that happened a long time ago that they've never really gotten over."

Yuri nodded slowly. "So, it's all just... unresolved issues?"

"Pretty much," Woozi said.

Yuri thought for a moment, then asked, "And you? Who are you closest to?"

Woozi smiled softly. "Vernon and seungkwan We've been through a lot together. They're like my brothers."
Yuri nodded, understanding a bit more about the complex dynamics within the group.

Woozi said, strumming his guitar lightly. "And sometimes the people who seem the furthest apart can have the strongest bonds. It just takes time to see it."

Yuri asked, "If that's so, why don't they sit and talk things out?" He looked at her in shock.

"If they sit and talk, one of them will end up killing the other. But maybe you can try."
