The days that followed were a blur of emptiness. Jisung felt like he was sleepwalking through his life, going through the motions of practice and performances without really being present.
The other members noticed the change in him, but no one said anything, not even Hyunjin. They all seemed to understand that something had broken inside him, but they didn't push for answers.
Minho was the same. He kept his distance, though his eyes lingered on Jisung whenever they were in the same room. The love was still there, but it was buried beneath the rubble of everything they had destroyed.
One night, Jisung found himself wandering the streets alone, the cold air biting at his skin. His feet led him to the same park where he and Minho had fought weeks before. He sat down on the swing, his heart aching with the memory of that night.
He couldn't stop the tears that came again, the weight of everything finally crashing down on him. He buried his face in his hands, sobbing uncontrollably, the pain too much to bear. He missed Minho so much it hurt. He missed the way Minho used to smile at him, the way his touch used to make him feel safe. But that was gone now. They had lost everything.
He didn't hear the footsteps behind him until a voice broke through his sobs.
"Jisung."
Jisung froze, recognizing the voice instantly. He slowly lifted his head to see Minho standing a few feet away, his expression as broken as Jisung felt.
"I couldn't stay away," Minho whispered, stepping closer. "I've been going crazy without you."
Jisung stood up, his breath catching in his throat. "Minho..."
Minho took another step forward, his voice trembling. "I thought I was doing the right thing. I thought if I walked away, it would be easier for both of us. But I was wrong. I can't... I can't live without you, Jisung."
Tears filled Jisung's eyes again as he took a shaky step toward Minho. "Then why did you leave? Why did you break us?"
Minho's face crumpled, and he closed the distance between them, pulling Jisung into his arms. "Because I was scared. I was so scared of losing everything that I didn't realize I was losing the most important thing-you."
Jisung sobbed into Minho's chest, clinging to him with everything he had left. "I missed you so much."
Minho pressed a soft kiss to the top of Jisung's head, his own tears falling. "I missed you too."
For the first time in what felt like forever, they stood together in the rain, their arms wrapped tightly around each other.
The pain was still there, but so was the love. And this time, they weren't running from it. They weren't hiding. They were just them-raw, broken, but together.
