Dear. My Darling | Gongfourz / Taehan

Chapter 10

It was the same usual day for Leehan who somehow slowly adjusted to Taesan's absence by drowning himself in his studies and his hobby, and being the role model for his schoolmates who accomplished a lot of achievements for their University.

He now rarely checks his social media because Taesan hasn't really made any appearance anyways and today is part of those rare days because he is surfing the internet and checking random tweets from his friends.

And his eyes suddenly widened reading a post from his classmate Jungwon saying "someone is coming back and I can smell a mess from a distance"

"Who is he referring to?" his forehead starts to crumble and his eyebrows meet, the person he hates the most is the first person that came to his mind, making him angry.

"No way." he aggresively gets off from his bed and face the mirror.

"Don't panic, he is not going home here." He tried calming his angry nerves and did the inhale-exhale method to lessen the tension he is feeling right now.

"Leehan!"

"Yes, hyung?" he asked as he stood up from his bed and went outside the living room. He can see Sungho smiling from ear to ear, but Leehan got a wrong feeling about it.

"Have you heard the news? Taesan is coming home!" he is clapping his hands and jumping like an idiot, and Leehan just frozed there, can't even move because his muscles are tense.

'Just what the fuck' He cursed at the back of his mind. No way he'll be meeting him. Not now, not after he left without any messages.

"Hey, are you okay? Aren't you excited?!" He is still smiling from ear to ear, he know it's Taesan that's making him almost hurt his jaw and cheekbones from smiling and Leehan mess up badly because he can't even tell him that he's angry at Taesan.

"O-of course I-im happy!" Leehan exerted a lot of effort to fake a laugh to make himself sound excited about the news wherein he want to roll over the floor and pull his hair because Leehan really feel annoyed early in the morning.

As much as he wanted to see him again, he is also angry at how he could just leave me like that without any notice or any replies even after Leehan sent him hundreds of messages and calls over the span of three months.

"Why are we even going to prepare something for that guy?" Leehan said with bitterness. Everyone looked at him as they could see his blank expression and a bit of disbelief from it.

His friends are now at his place, planning for a surprise welcome for Taesan which they didn't tell Leehan until the last minute.

"That guy? Taesan, he is our friend. He is your best friend. Don't call him that way." Sungho said.

"Leehan, don't be bitter about it anymore, there's no use of bringing the past back." Jaehyun said, trying to lighten up the mood.

Riwoo and Woonhak are just observing and didn't try to say anything anymore as they know that it will just worsen the situation.

"Yes. He is still YOUR friend. You still consider him after what he did." Leehan replied.

Riwoo couldn't help not to feel bad for his friend so he went over to him to pat his back and try to calm him from his emotions. He knows this is kinda hard for him, no one knows more than he does.

"Leehan... We made things clear a long time ago already, right? Maybe it was urgent and important, that's why he couldn't have any contacts." Sungho tried to explain as Riwoo just kept patting Leehan's back.

"You can't expect anything from me any more if it's about that guy. I've had enough." Leehan said with firmness.

Although he wants to see Taesan too, he's doing this for him, for Taesan's dream.

Woonhak stared at them, afraid with Leehan's aura because they can feel the coldness.

"So I guess you won't help and cooperate with the surprise welcome party for Taesan then." Sungho said looking so disappointed.

"Most probably." Leehan sounds disrespectful that everyone was shocked and looked at him.

"Taesan is not a stranger, Leehan. Both of you are best friends, remember?" Jaehyun said calmly as he flashed a smile trying to convince Leehan.

"Best friends? He is a fucking stranger to me!" Leehan shouted as he stood up and walked out of the room.
