[HIATUS] Fragile | JiCheol

Fragile
Chapter VI

Jihoon is in his phone again.

He's speaking with Soonyoung -- he knew because he heard Jihoon said Soonyoung's name for the straight three days. He wasn't eavesdropping. It's just that whenever he'll come close to where Jihoon is he'll hear him say his name.

Fuck that Soonyoung. Can't he just stop that shit for atleast up to the day when Seungcheol is living?

He knew. He knew very well that this is jealousy boiling inside him. It was just like before -- how he will glare to any girl or boy who would get close to Jihoon. Anyone.

But now... He doesn't have a right. He let go of that right but doesn't mean he can't feel it.

He sighs and went inside his room stomping angrily.

Medicines. Supplements.

He wished he can believe in medicines -- the placebo effect but he'll believe that Jihoon's presence can heal him more than this medicines.

That one smile.

That hearty laugh.

That milky skin.

That creamy thighs.

That dreamy hair.

That soothing voice.

That slender hands.

That twinkly eyes.

He reminisce it all while clutching his chest and coughing his lungs out.

----

Soonyoung fucked up.

Jihoon knew very well as Soonyoung retell the story in the phone.

"You stood up Seokmin's proposal? How is that even possible! Between you two. You're that clingy one. You're the one who would pepper kiss to someone and say I love you a plentiful times and you just stood Seokmin up? You do know how precious Seokmin is for me? You idiot!" He sighed out of frustration

The other line went dead silent until a breathy and shaky sigh was heard.

"I-i..  It was so sudden..  I don't know what to do at that moment ... He just kneel and.. he bring out this two beautiful rings... I was so shocked."

Jihoon listens intently. He knew Soonyoung stood Seokmin up but not the details of what really happened.

"I- i was in my office at that time. He-he just kneel but I stayed frozen in my chair overlooking him past the papers in front of me. I-i was cold. I was glued in my chair ---"

"Don't blame the chair" he cuts off.

"Okay. Not blaming the chair. And..." he stops for awhile "a rough minute pass or so and he stood up and flashed that bright sunny smile we all love. He- he wore the other ring in his hand and left without saying a thing. Worst, he's still smiling"

Something inside Jihoon shatters as he was imagining the scene. Seokmin smiling while wearing the ring thinking the other wouldn't want to wear the other half of it.

"You fucked up Soonyoung"

"I've heard it a thousand times today. It's been planted in my head, try something new Jihoon. By the way, there's more."

"What?"

He sighs as if it pains him "He sent his resignation later today. The reason? Brokenhearted"
