Hyunjin runs to Jisung's house, as fast as he can.

On the way to his house he tries to call Jisung, but he receives no response.
This makes Hyunjin even more anxious.

As Hyunjin arrives in front of Jisung's house, he rings the bell and knocks many times, but no one seems to be inside the house.
So Hyunjin goes in panic and, after calling Jisung other 5 times without any response, he checks Jisung's instagram.
There is a new post.

"How didn't I think about this before?" Hyunjin thinks to himself "it's so obvious he's at the karaoke right now!"

.

When Hyunjin enters the karaoke building he runs to the hallway and starts knocking at all the rooms, looking for Jisung.
After apologising to at least 7 different rooms for interrupting their karaoke sessions, he stands in front of the room number 28 and he hears some depressing songs coming from it.
He knocks and, as expected, Jisung opens the door and wides his eyes as soon as he sees Hyunjin.

Some tears were clearly visible on Jisung's cheeks, but Hyunjin didn't ask anything: he just entered the room, closed the door fastly, and hugged tightly his friend.
There were some Soju* bottles on the table next to Jisung's phone.

*Soju is a Korean alcoholic beverage.

"What– What are you doing here?" Jisung asks sounding confused and nervous.
"I'm so glad to see you" Hyunjin whispers, feeling relieved to have finally found his friend.
"How the hell did you find me?" Jisung keeps asking questions.
Hyunjin doesn't seem to want to answer, he doesn't want to say that Minho sent him to check on him, so he just stays silent.
Jisung sits on the couch and stops the music, then he dries the tears that are still running down his eyes.
Hyunjin sits next to him and side hug him gently.
"Jisung, what's wrong? talk to me" Hyunjin is the one asking the question this time.
"It's always the same shit! Every time it's the same and it'll never change" Jisung stutters nervously and not being able to calm his crying.
"What are you talking about?" Hyunjin asks as he caresses his friend's shoulder.
"It won't change: people can pretend to love me as much as they want, but no one will ever truly like me. Nobody will stay, 'cause I'm not even worth their time" Jisung says with a shaky voice.
"Jisung, I like you and many other people do: Bang chan, Changbin, Seungmin, Jeongin, Felix, Ryujin, Lia and many others, they all like you! You're a good person and a great artist, you're amazing and who doesn't see your value doesn't even deserve your time. Is this clear?" Hyunjin comforts Jisung, who is about to have a panic attack at this point.
But after taking a big breath, the crying boy starts talking with a shaky but confident voice.
"Why do people keep telling me that I'm perfect and that I can't see my worth? Even tho they are the ones who don't even try hard to stay by my side. The truth is that I'll never feel enough, I'll never feel truly loved or appreciated, 'cause I don't even like myself. My mind is sick, my eyes keep telling me things that only I can see. Sometimes I wonder if it's good to be the one who loves strong, the one who clings to people with all of himself, just hoping they don't go away. Because in the end, they leave anyway, always. And maybe they're right: I'm not made to be loved. Maybe the love I give suffocates, my presence weighs, as if filling the room with something that no one really wants to keep close to" Jisung says shaking his leg repeatedly and morbidly.
"Jisung, that's not true, all of these intrusive thoughts are so wrong!"
