Chapter Text

Han is sitting at the counter while you make tea to calm down. He wasn't mad. He kind of just stared at you and nodded. The silence was killing you. Han decided he didn't want to lie. He was going to tell you the truth.
Han-"Vee?"
You look at him. Vee- "Yeah? "
Han-"I have something to tell you too. You're not gonna like it. And it may send you into another depression but I can't keep this from you".
Vee-"Okay. Go ahead".

You brace yourself. Ready for whatever you had coming.
Han-"Chan knew".
You look at him wide eyed. Panic in your chest.
Vee- "What? He what?"
Han- "That night. He'd gone to apologize. He'd realized how dumb he'd been. For pushing you away when you had so clearly chosen him. Always him. But when he got there. He heard you and Hyunjin upstairs".

You slide down to the floor. Omg. He knew.
Vee-"He didn't- He just left". Your head is spinning. Why didn't he do something?
Han-"He was a mess but he realized he pushed you. He didn't want to fight. So he was gonna text you to take time to figure out what you wanted and who you wanted. He left me a note that he was on the way to the studio. I remember thinking this is why you have trouble. Then Binnie called. He'd been on his way to JYP and saw the crash. When he recognized Chan's car. He lost it. Felix too. You four were out of it for days. We had to get all the funeral stuff together. I was sure you and Felix were never coming out of it. But you did. And after the funeral we didn't see you again for over 3 months".
Vee- "He wasn't gonna fight it. He wanted me to choose?! "
Han- "Yeah" Han looks at you and grabs your hand. "Vee listen. He loved you. He loved you both so much. And yeah it's messed up but he'd want you guys to be happy. Noone else needs to know about what happened. If you and Hyunjin choose to be together. Noone knows. You guys could've fallen in love through grief. Who's gonna correct them? Not me".
Vee- "So the other guys don't know about me and Jinnie?"
Han-"I never told them. And I don't think Hyunnie would tell them. Maybe Bin since Hyunjin was with you when he called that day. Buts he's never said anything".
You grab your head. Dizzy and overwhelmed.
Vee-"What a mess."- you breathe.

You're quiet. When You finally speak up you look at Han.
Vee-"I think I'm gonna go back home. I can't stay here anymore".
Han-"Wait? But"...

Vee-"Please Han. Don't make me feel worse than what I feel. I moved out here for him you know? We knew here was the only place for his idol dreams and I didn't want to leave him. So I got into college and we made it work. But I can't see myself here without him. I just want to go home".

Han hugs you. He tells you he understands and you sit there for a little while longer.
When he leaves you get to it. You didn't want to be in Korea another day. You hired packers movers and ppl to take care of everything and sell the house while you were home. Mom and Hoseok are happy to hear from you and that you're coming home. They both tell you they were worried sick. That when you started doing stuff again and living, they were happy but they both thought you should go home. They didn't want to push it though.

You wanted to say goodbye to everyone. But at the same time you didn't want them to try to convince you to stay. You leave Chan's gift in the house with a note for it to go to Hyunjin. You had ordered hamaika rings. In your favorite colors. One for each of you. It was ordered before the drunken fight and break up. Because to you. You were the only 3 in the world.

Han, Binnie and Felix were the only ones to say goodbye. Minho, IN and Seungmin were upset and didn't show up. Not understanding why you were leaving. And well Hyunjin had left that morning and you hadn't heard from him since. You left him a letter with the rings. Hoping he'd read it and forgive you for leaving.
