My Fate || JeongChan FF

Chapter 9

"... I have bad news."

"Well, what happened?" Hyunjin asked with concern.

"Her mom called me today. She said that Yoona's dead. She killed herself two days ago."

Hyunjin gasped, "Oh my word! What! But why would she suddenly think of killing herself?"

This was the biggest question Jeongin had ever asked himself: 'Why would I suddenly think of killing myself?'

The biggest reason was quite painful. And the thought hadn't just come suddenly, it had been running around one's mind for a really long time.

"Well", Felix continued, "It all started with her ex-boyfriend, Sam. I still remember when she first told me about him. She was so head over heels for the guy. But never in her wildest dreams had she ever imagined that he would force himself on her."

Jeongin began to feel uncomfortable in his seat. Memories started flashing in his mind and his eyes began wondering where to escape.

Felix continued, "... After that, she decided to break up with him, but he didn't give up and started following her. Basically stalking her. It didn't take long until... he raped her. And not just once, twice or more."

And that's when Jeongin snapped. Tears started falling from his eyes, but he looked down and hoped that no one would notice.

But Chan noticed that there was a problem, "Jeongin? Are you okay?"

Jeongin's head didn't turn or flinch. He was so indused in the terrifying memories of the past, that he hadn't realized when the tears started coming out unchecked.

"Innie. Is everything alright?" Felix asked too.

"Jeongin", Chan said, even louder this time.

Then Jeongin slightly looked up with teary eyes which met with Felix's.

"Jeongin", Hyunjin gasped, "Why are you crying?"

He wanted to stop the tears, but is felt nearly impossible. "E-Excuse me..." He quickly got up and ran out of the dining room.

"Jeongin?!" Chan called out, but he didn't stop.

Tears streamed like a river from his eyes as he went up the stairs.

"Jeongin! Wait!" Chan ran after him, but wasn't able to catch up before Jeongin shut the door.

"Innie, please open the door."

But there was no response from the other side.

*Moments later...*

Jeongin still refuse to open the door.

He had tried taking his anti-anxiety pills, after hurting himself with his nails (causing him to bleed).

"Jeongin. Please open up." Chan was still waiting at the door, pleading with Jeongin to let him in. The door was still locked.

Jeongin was still crying, and the pills didn't help when he felt a large wave of nausea wash over him, then everything came out in the toilet.

Just all his past thoughts were making him feel sick.

"Jeongin, please open up." Chan pleaded on more time. That's when he finally heard the door unlock, but still didn't open.

Chan slowly turned the door handle, afraid of what he might see. But Jeongin just sat on his bed, his knees hugged up to his chest and his head wedged in between.
