The Darkness cursed ones

-Chapter 10-

"Won?" Shino yells through the room.
No answer.
The Boys were searching for Won the whole morning already but there is no sign of him.
'Damn it....where is he?' Shino thinks.
Niki and Heesan come in with a sigh.
"And?" Shino aks worried.
The boys shake their heads.
"Fuck....of course I was angry but I didn't mean to..."
Niki interrupts Shino.
"Hey! That's not your fault. Maybe he just left for his own reasons. But it's definitely not your fault!"
'That you say that Niki....' Heesan thinks glancing at Niki.
"Oh come on guys. Won is a grown up man. Why are you all so worried?" Heesan asks.
"Yeah right, but if it would be Niki disappearing you would burn the whole world down to find him." Shino comments.
"What? Why do you think that?" Heesan asks.
'Huh? Does he...know?' Niki thinks.
"Well, you couldnt make it more obvious okay? Not to mention the kissing sounds that were coming out your guys room. You definitely made out." Shino just says, turning away to look for Won.
"That's not true! We are just friends!" Niki defends.
"Yeah Sure, whatever. Now will you help me find Won? You are his friends too, right?" Shino says.
The boys nod.

Shino walks to the river where he and Won used to talk every now and then.
And Won actually sits there, looking down at the shining water.
Shino sits down next to him.
"Hey...we were worried...why didn't you tell us that you are going, or at least write a note?" Shino asks careful.
"No motivation." Won replies.
"We were searching for you for hours..."
"Really? Why? I thought I am behaving like I would be on Jace' side."
Shino sighs at Wons words.
"No...I didn't mean that...I am just so stressed....Sun and I are friends for like....15 years already. I am just really afraid Jace is hurting him."
"Mh...It's okay..."
Won holds a finger into the cold river water staring into it.
"Are you..." Shino wants to ask but quickly swallows it.
'Won doesn't like to be asked that! Don't ask it' he thinks.
"Yes, I am fine. You remembered it? I mean that I don't like to be asked if I am okay."
Shino nods.
The boys are silent for a while. Only the sound of running water and leafes in the wind are heard.
Eventually Won breaks the Silence.
"Shino?"
"Mh?"
"Sorry."
Won stands up and walks away.
Shino stays still trying to understand what Won means. He stands up as well and runs after Won.
"Wait! What do you mean?" He asks.
"What do you think I mean, dumbass? Sorry."
"N..no I mean what do you mean sorry? Why sorry? For what sorry?"
Won sighs.
"I know I am an asshole...I am trying not to be. Really. I try to change, I am just really bad at...well letting my guard down."
Shino shakes his head.
"You aren't, Won!"
"All the years of bullying....I think that made me...be so defensive and aggressive towards others. But I am not like this! I am just...well I guess you can call it I am putting on a mask to defend myself, to protect myself." Won explains.
"And I am not even noticing it...." He adds almost whispering.
"Oh...I..I am sorry...I didn't know you..." Shino stammers.
"Nah it's okay." Won replies.
"Can we go back home?" Shino asks, as he starts to freeze due to the cold wind.
Won notices and nods.

They reach the dorm. Shino quickly tells the others that Won is okay and they don't have to worry. Won already heads towards their shared room.
They enter the room together.
Shino heads towards his desk and sketches something in his Sketchbook.
Won looks over his shoulder.
"Pretty good. You are really talented." Won comments and heads towards his own desk to finish some studies he started out of fun, or maybe out of distraction.

About an hour past. The sun is slowly setting. Won stands up and looks out the window.
Shino drops his pencil and stands up as well joining Won.
"Shino. I am sorry. Sorry." Won says.
"Huh...but we already talked about this! You don't need to be sorry!" Shino replies.
But Won keeps mumbling Sorry over and over.
He buries his head in his hands as he keeps whispering.
"W...Won? Y..you scare me! What's wrong?!" Shino says trying not to sound to scared.
"I AM SORRY OKAY?! Please! Believe me! I am not like this!" Won yells.
Shino jumps slightly at Wons loud voice.
"Ah...W..Won its..I believe y..you!" Shino panics.
"J...just..s..stop yelling a..and apologising!"
Won takes a deep breath and he calms down.
"Damn it....Sorry again...Th..that just happens sometimes...forget it."
Shino looks worried at Won.
"Won, what was that? And what do you mean that happens sometimes?"
"It's...not Important. I just need to sleep, that's all."
"NO! That is not all! Tell me what's going on!" Shino demands.
His eyes glow with worry.
Won gets slightly nervous but tries to act normal.
"I..that's eh...Its just that be-....gosh can you not look at me like this!?"
"Fine! But only if you tell me what's going on!"
Shino looks back at the Sunset as he waits for Won to talk.
"My older brother always told me that, I should apologize to people I think I'm hurting or treating the wrong way. So I did...because I think I am treating you wrong. I am treating you wrong and the others in my opinion." Won explains.
Shino nods and hugs Won.
Won panics.
"Ah...what are you..why? Stop! Don't touch me!"
"I feel like you need a hug. Especially if you react to it like this." Shino says warm.
Won relaxes and moves his arms up slowly to hug Shino back.
