You Complete Me

Chapter 5

Self-hate isn't always bad; You're just more aware of your flaws compared to others.

Heeseung POV:

I'm out with Hoon because "Wony" is out with her friends. As we're walking towards the park, I heard a woman screaming, "AND GET OUT." she yells, shoving someone out of the doorway. I shrug, this thing happens almost daily in Korea, especially in a city like Seoul.

Me and Hoon walk on, ignoring the person even when he screams, "HEESEUNG HYUNG." I turn briefly, not paying attention. Then, we walk away.

(Time Skip)

"RIKI STOP," I hear Sunoo scream. "IT HURTS." Me and Hoon look at each other, wondering why Sunoo's moaning for Riki. Our questions are answered when we enter the room.

"Sunoo, you're going to make people think we're fucking. And we already did earlier today. I'm not going to kill your legs today." Riki says. Then he notices us. "Oh hey hyungs," Riki says. He's straddling Sunoo, whipping his ass with a belt. "Little Miss Sunshine here thought it would be a good idea to slap me because he lost to me at Mario Kart. So, I'm teaching him a lesson."

Hoon laughs. "Have fun Riki," he says, walking away. "And good luck Sunoo. I'm gonna go call Wony."

Riki watches him leave. Then, he turns to me. "Did you see her today?" he asks. "I saw her kissing Jane noona at the mall today. That's Jake's sister. I took some photos just because I don't want people to think that the rumor is false but-"

I cut him off. "Send me the photos. I want to talk to her." I say, pissed. Of all people to cheat on, SUNGHOON? AND WITH SOME RANDOM GIRL??"

Then I hear a cry from Hoon's room. I look at Riki. He looks worried. "Go," he says. "He needs you."

Jake POV:

           How could she do this to me?

                                                                                                          Why did they kick me out?

                                   How did they not see me?

                                                                        Why am I alone now?

                                                                                                                                              What do I do?

My life is now just a bunch of unanswerable questions and a constant fight against nightmares. It's been.. three days? since I got kicked out. I considered going to the company to see if I can sleep in the dorms, but I didn't want to inconvenience them. So, I've been sleeping in the children's park. Today, I woke up and I saw a girl poking me. "Mistuh," she said worriedly. "Are you okay?"

I sit up. "I'm fine," I say, trying to smile. "How are you doing?" She smiles. "Did you need something?" I ask.

She nods. "Can you pway tag wif me?" she asks. I coo inwardly at her cutness.

"Of course," I say, getting up.

She tags me on the shoulder. "Then you're it!" We play for a good five minutes. I can tell that she's enjoying herself. I laugh, the first one for a week.

Then, some old woman walks up to us. "GET AWAY FROM MY GRANDDAUGHTER YOU GEOJI SSHIBAL." Then she grabs her slipper and slaps me across the face. Then she grabs the girl and leaves. I sigh. Since I don't have anything to do, I spend my days sleeping on the slide.

It's been about two weeks? and I did find someone who's nice to me. There's a food truck that's always parked outside the park. The owner, a kind older lady, gives me some free food, mostly leftovers. I'm not complaining, though. But I do get another surprise. As I'm walking back to my usual spot, I hear someone call my name. "Jake?" the voice asks. It sounds familiar. "Is that you?" I turn to see Dani running towards me. "It is you," she says. "Where have you been? You haven't been at the company for a good three months. We were all worried, especially me and Hanni unnie."

"I mean, I've definitely been better," I say, shrugging. "Like actually having somewhere other than a children's playground as a home." I try to stay indifferent, but I start to tear up. She hugs me, and I break down, letting out all of the emotions that I've been holding in. And I feel happy again. Something that I haven't felt in a long time. I smile.

Hey! I honestly can't believe Be:Lift is overworking our pookies Enhypen. They deserve rest. *sigh* Anyways, this chapter's song recommendation is "Hurt" by NewJeans. I think this is a good song to represent this song just because of the hurt that the characters are going through (e.g. Sunghoon and Jake). I really hate Jake's parents for kicking him out. It's not like he raped someone. Hopefully, things get better, as it looks like it will, or at least for Jake. Comment "E" if you want Enhypen to be treated better, and "S" if you want the characters to get revenge on Jane, Wonyoung, and Jake's parents. See you next update!
