Locked Away

Hakyeon's POV

I lay with my eyes closed as the music plays in my earphones. It's almost midnight yet I haven't fallen asleep.

I can't sleep. I'm wide awake.

I haven't slept since I arrived in Japan actually. It's been one week. I've really been enjoying my time here but I miss sleeping.

I am struggling to sleep knowing what Eun Hee is going through back home.

I am just waiting for a message or a phone call from her, saying that she isn't okay.

I just don't want a message saying that she is in hospital. I don't want that at all.

Yuta and Jaehyun have been treating me really well and so has Suzume. I didn't know my job could be this fun and exciting.

I'm going to miss these guys when we get back to Korea. I hope they will be very successful so they need to come back and use a
our agent again.

I decide that I'm not going to be able to sleep anytime soon so I turn on my phone and begin to browse through the internet.

It's then that I get a message from Hongbin. It's a picture.

Hongbin
Yah. Wonshik's new boyfriend is crazy

Hakyeon
Is that Taekwoon?

Hongbin
How'd you know?

Hakyeon
We have already met. He's going out with Wonshik?

Hongbin
I don't know. I think so. I found the pair on a date this evening when I went out to dinner with Eun Hee

Hakyeon
They live in the same building

Hongbin
How'd you guys meet?

Hakyeon
It's a long story. I'll explain when I get back. You should try to sleep

Hongbin
Wonshik and I need to get Taekwoon home first. He's drunk and he keeps biting me. Talk later

Hakyeon
Get him home safely

Taekwoon is going or with Wonshik now? I don't know what to think of the news. I should be happy for them.

Maybe I am. I'm not sure but I feel slightly hurt. Taekwoon and I aren't even that close so I'm not sure why.

I look at the picture one more time to make sure that it is the Taekwoon that I know. I then turn it off and place it on the bedside table.
