Jake's lip quiver ,eye widened in shock ,"is he here ?."he whisper, his voice barely audible .
Sunghoon was trying to hold back his tears , his voice cracking slightly as he replied," he should be "
Without wasting another second , jungwon dashed towards the kitchen , followed closely by the others .
There
Heeseung hyung.
He was stirring something in the pot and humming some random songs , but then, he froze , stoping all his moment .
Heeseung could sense their presence behind him , feeling the weight of their emotions in the room, without turning he continued his work , giving them a space to register the situation .
" Welcome home" heeseung softly greeted them , his voice carry a warmth that made their heart pound against the chest .
without taking his eye from his work .
"Can u all freshen up and come down to have what I made ?" He said, voice gentle yet carrying a slight nervousness , shifting the food in to bowls , hand steady but his heart racing .
Pin drop silent , only their breathing sound and vessel sounds can be heard . They stood there frozen , almost afraid as if they moved the fragile reality will be shattered before they can register it .
But then , it was Jungwon who broke out of his daze first . A smile slowly blooming across his face , when the reality hits him , their hyung return to them and said in his goofy manner ," yes hyung ! Can't wait to have what u made for us " he beems .
Jungwon excitement was contagious , and without missing single second , he playfully dragged and pushed others to their respective rooms , their expression mix of disbelief and overwhelmed content .
As they disappeared , heeseung finally allows himself to smile , feeling the familiar scent surround him like a warm blanket . Home , his home .
No one talks in the table .
Heeseung was getting anxious .
Every others had their head downcast except jungwon .
Heeseung don't know what to do , suddenly he heard a faint sniff sound , only to notice they all were crying quietly, tears streaming down , but no sound heard out .
Heeseung fist his palm on his lap , his heart arching at the sight of them breaking down silently , gathering his strength he called out to them ," hey ".
That simple word seems to be a breaking point , as it was there last straw to broke into a sob , and they did .
Their emotions pouring out like a dam , that had finally burst out .
Heeseung felt a lump forming in his throat , he hurts them the realisation felts like a knife twisting in his chest .
Jungwon , who had been silent untill now , turned his gaze towards heeseung ,he could see the pain engraved on hyung's face as he was watched the others sobbing infront of him . The guilt in Hyung eye was crystal clear .
Jungwon slowly pulled himself up from his seat and went towards hyung , who was staring at them without blinking .
He knelt before hyung , placing the hand on top of hyung's .
Heeseung flinched at the sudden skin contact , eye widened in suprise, he haven't noticed jungwon moving towards him .
" Hyung " jungwon voice was soft yet firm ," it's not ur fault , why they were crying "
