Your presence

Not again

"Seo Eunkwang.............Pick up the phone." Minhyuk calls Eunkwang for more than hundred times but he is not picking up.

"It's been two days that Eunkwang hyung did not come back. It's all your fault!" Changsub scolds the kids again pointing at all the younger members who are sitting quietly on the floor.

"and because of that, even manager hyung asked me if something happened between us." Minhyuk added.

"See?! Aigoo... aigooo! Look what you've done." Changsub scolded to Sungjae who has been ignoring him for three days.

"I am going out." Minhyuk took his coat.

"Are you going back to your dorm?" Hyunsik asked.

"No... I am going to look for Eunkwang."

"let's go together." Changsub said. "It's okay ... you stay here with those four!" Min Hyuk glares at Ilhoon, Hyunsik, Sungjae including Peniel who is dying to go back to his home but no one can go out according to Minhyuk's order.

After Minhyuk left, Changsub is the oldest here now.

"See? That means I am the king here!" said Changsub.

"Aishh" the other four murmured under their breath.

"Yook Sungjae, go get a cup of water for me." Being the one who own the authority to control the younger boys, Changsub's first target is forever and always Sungjae.

"Why would I?" Sungjae shouted.

"You have to since I told you to. And you are the troublemaker here." Changsub sticks out his tongue.

"AISSHH... I am going to tell Eunkwang hyung about it." Sungjae pouted but he still went and gets a cup of water for Changsub who is sitting on sofa.

"Hyung! Don't be such a bully!" Peniel defends his boyfriend.

"Yeah... You are such a bully." Sungjae continued. "I am really going to tell Eunkwang hyung and make you get scolded!"

"but Hyung is not here. Hawhawhaw." Changsub said with his evil smile making maknae sad.

"I miss Eunkwang hyung..." and everyone goes quiet.

Of course, everyone misses their oldest brother.

Minhyuk arrived to the company and there was only two or three trainees are found. He asked them if they knew where Eunkwang was but no one could give a proper answer. So Minhyuk called him again and suddenly the phone rings in one of the practice room.

Is that you Eunkwang? Minhyuk goes straight to the room at the corner where the light is out and obviously, the room is locked. Locked from the inside.

Minhyuk calls the phone again and he is now sure the phone is ringing inside of this room. Finally found you, Soe Eunkwang.

"Eunkwang yah" Minhyuk knocked the door softly. And he can't make it very obvious since there are few trainees and other idol members left. So, he sends the message asking him to come out. Minhyuk knows he won't come out.

"I am going to stay outside until you come out." He said, close to the door, knowing that Eunkwang would be listening.

Think Lee Min Hyuk, think. What the hell did you do to make him mad at you so bad? Minhyuk thinks as he walks back and forth in the dance practice room which is right next to the room where he believes Eunkwang is in.

There was nothing exactly happen that could make him so angry with me except the fact that Sungjae and Peniel are dating. And me? Did I do something wrong to make you go like this?

Did I yell at him? No. Did I hit him? No. Did I ignore him? Of course not. And why can't he let me explain him? And wait... why should I explain him when there is nothing wrong? Damn it, Eunkwang I can't understand you sometime.

Minhyuk sighed and lean back to the wall.

"What are you doing here?" that familiar wake him up from his thinking. It's Soe Eunkwang.

"E...eunkwang ah." Min Hyuk walked up to his boyfriend who is about to enter the practice room. Wait... where is he coming from? Isn't he in the practice room?

"You were not in the room?"

"No? I went outside to buy lunch." Eunkwang hold the McDonald's bag right in front of Minhyuk's face. Thank god, I could see that face again. Now that Minhyuk met Eunkwang again, he realises how much he misses that guy. He could hold him tight in his arm right there. But he is not sure if Eunkwang accept it. So, he swallows all his desires.

"I...I thought you were inside. Didn't you bring your phone?"

"I didn't. I thought it won't take long but it turned out I have to wait a long queue." Eunkwang said as he opens the practice room.

"What? I thought it is locked inside."

"No?" Eunkwang laughed a little as he saw Minhyuk is worried about him. "Why are you here?"

"I...um I am bringing you back to the dorm." Minhyuk said it. He knows the older won't agree but well, he should try, shouldn't he? As expected, there is no reply given from Eunkwang.

"Are you still mad?" Minhyuk honestly really hates when someone gets mad with no reason and he hates to be the one who say sorry. And now he is here begging Eunkwang to come back home.

"Why would I? I am just..." Eunkwang take a deep breath before he said.

"You what?"

"I am just... you know, you should have told me if you know that they are dating." oh so, that's what you are mad about.

"What? You get mad on that silly small thing?" Minhyuk knows he should not be saying that but he did. and he would beat himself up for thousand times for saying such as bullshit thing.

"Excuse me! That's not a silly small thing. It is important. Being a leader, I have to know what is going on in my group, Minhyuk." Eunkwang said with a slight glare in his eyes. How great, Min Hyuk, you are here to bring him home but look what you are doing!!!! Minhyuk really hates when this kind of shit happens but that little pride stands tall and he can't bring it down sometime.

"But now you know and everything is under control. It's not like you found out through the news. Everything is fine and you are the one who is mad at nothing." Oh no. What the hell am I saying?

"Oh really?" Eunkwang face turns red. And this red is not cute. It is filled with anger. "Okay, ... so as you said, I am the one who is mad at nothing. Like I am not responsible for the group although I have the fucking title called the leader." Eunkwang never thought he could shout at his boyfriend, ever. But what Min Hyuk said really hurt him.

"N...no. I am sorry Eunkwang ah. I don't mean it. What I mean is..." Minhyuk tried to explain but he knows he won't be succeed when he saw Eunkwang taking a deep breath without looking at him.

"Can you leave now?" Eunkwang said staring at the wall beside him. He can't look at Minhyuk right now. Love quarrels. It is what Eunkwang hates the most. But it happens.

"Eunkwang...ah" Minhyuk said while trying to hold his boyfriend hand but obviously he failed.

"Just...just leave. Please..." He can hear the older voice crack. And the eyes were teary but he had to leave after he had done enough shit. I hate myself.
