Moving On

final.

THREE YEARS AGO

Jihoon's eyes glittered with tears. The sight of Soonyoung leaving him was too painful. The sounds of his steps fading farther away hurts a lot and the voiceless goodbye he heard from Soonyoung pierced the deepness of his heart.

**
If there's anything he could wish after what happened 3 years ago, it's to hear the last words Soonyoung said that he refused to listen.
He tried to recall the unheard words through vivid memories and he just can't.

Jihoon, as what Seungcheol said, has moved on. He is now a successful business man. His small company which almost went broke from the past year has risen back and now shockingly successful. But never did Seungcheol knew it was Jihoon's struggles with Soonyoung leaving him that made him this fruitful.

Everyday and constantly, he bled painful tears as soon as he gets home. His mind always wandered through the empty apartment he and Soonyoung have. It's empty because Soonyoung wasn't there anymore, his clothes in the closet were gone. His shoe collection atop Jihoon's was nowhere out of sight. His toothbrush no longer lingered in the bathroom sink. The few strands of his hair that's left on the white-tiled floor weren't there scattered. Soonyoung's smell, his laughter, his cheekiness, his everything were all what Jihoon bled for.

"Three years? I doubt Jihoon moved on already. I know him." Jeonghan said as a-matter-of-factly then sipped from his latte.

Seungcheol raised a brow and uttered an "Are you sure?" which earned a nod from Jeonghan.

"It was Soonyoung after all." he continued. "Soonyoung was Jihoon's everything, he isn't the person Jihoon could forget easily."

Seungcheol tapped on his armrest and pondered for a second. "Well.. I guess I could agree to that. But Jihoon is all happy now. Even if I slip and mention Soonyoung's name he doesn't even flinch."

Jeonghan now raised his brow, "Really? Hmm.. I bet he's pretending to be strong. Fighting the urge to reminisce the painful past."

Seungcheol could not utter back anymore so he just shrugged.

Jihoon returned to their table and slipped his phone in his pocket. He just came back after receiving a call from an investor.

"What's with the silence?" he questioned.

"Nothing." Seungcheol replied, feeling guilty.

Jihoon hummed and drank from his coffee.

"Actually we just talked about you." Jeonghan interjected, always the frank person he is.

Jihoon paused his drinking and stared at Jeonghan. He asked why and continued to drink.

"You haven't moved on from Soonyoung, right?"

Jihoon could swear he choked both from his drink and his saliva. Dripping droplets of black coffee on his lap.

"See? He hasn't." Jeonghan gestured at Jihoon as he smirked at Seungcheol's surprised face.

The trio eventually went back to the office after hearing complete silence from Jihoon for 20 minutes. The question remained in Jihoon's mind, sometimes drifting when he's handling important matters and sometimes shots back when he's in seconds of trance.

It actually took him a week before finally snapping out. He walked in fast strides towards his General Manager's office, which is Seungcheol.

He turned the knob and flew open the door and immediately sputted out his thoughts.

"Choi Seungcheol, you know what-"
"-what the fuck are you two doing in this busy working hour?!"

He literally just saw Jeonghan on top of Seungcheol's lap, most probably grinding on the latter's crotch as he showered kisses.
