Act of Benevolence

double two

Hobak went to the performance, actually super nervous, and her whole family was literally there.

Her mother was in the front row, with her other siblings and her husband.

As for Hobak's father, he sat somewhere in the middle.

"Hey beautiful." Doyoung slides his way through the stairs.

"Who are you talking to?" Hobak teases, and looks at Doyoung's detailed costume.

"Wowa~ look at Doyoung! He's hot!" Hobak whistles and Doyoung grew embarrassed.

"Hah! Who's the fishy now?" Hobak runs off and nearly slips on her dress.

"Wowa~" Doyoung mocks holding Hobak, "look at Hobak! She's tripping!" He chuckles.

The performance was a perfect five star, but towards the ending, Hobak felt very nervous for the kiss.

"Sooyeon," Doyoung says for Hobak's character.

"if today is when you die, then you'll be forever young."

"You won't be dead to me." Doyoung says his lines.

"Oppa," Hobak says heartbreakingly and chokes on actual tears.

Sniffles are being heard through the crowd.

"I don't want to be forever young, I want to grow old with you." Hobak says and Doyoung stared intensely.

Hobak's eyes slowly closed, and Doyoung kisssed her lips softly.

"I love you, Hobak." Doyoung whispers to the mic.

The crowd gasps.

"Who's Hobak? There was only three girls acting!"

"Was his character having an affair?"

"THE END!" The director yells angrily.

There was claps and many questions from the audience. The students all bowed and thanked the crowd. "Well, there will be a sequel to this, I promise." The teacher grits their teeth.

"Doyoung!" The teacher called, and Doyoung left with a startled look.

"Care to explain, why you did that?"

"I didn't know, it's just— it was Hobak-" Doyoung stutters back and forth. He, himself couldn't comprehend why he did that.

"Throughout the show, I felt like she was Sooyeon, but it's just — I don't know, I'm sorry teacher." Doyoung bows several times.

"This will affect your semester grade." The teacher frowns. "Carry on, enjoy your evening."

Doyoung smiles and walks off to Hobak, but saw her with her family.

"You've packed, right? Great performance sweetie, we're going straight home, okay?" Her mother says.

Hobak only nodded with her eyes pointed to the ground.

"Hobak!" Taeyong catches up to her.

"You were awesome!" He breathes but the mother just glared and pushed Hobak to walk out the school.

"Yah! Taeyong!" Doyoung barges upfront, "What are you doing?" Doyoung spats.

"I'm just telling her she did good!" Taeyong chuckles and shoves Doyoung off of him.

"She doesn't need your words, let her go peacefully." Doyoung walks away.

"Go? Is she going now?" Taeyong grabs Doyoung.

"Stop it." Doyoung pushes Taeyong to the ground.

"Why are you doing this to me? Aren't you her boyfriend? Do what's right! Tell her not to go!"
Taeyong yells.

"I'm not her boyfriend. I was just there." Doyoung reasons and disappears to his car.

Taeyong breathed heavily and dialed Hobak's number.

"The number you dialed is not available, —"

He dialed again,

"The number you dialed is not a av—"

again,

"The number you dialed—"

and again,

"The number—"

Taeyong drove off to the nearest airport and begged and prayed to the gods that this was the airport Hobak was going to.

Taeyong desperately walked in and looked for the section that would have America.

"She has to be here." Taeyong jogs around the airport.

That was when—

"Sir, you cannot pass this area without your approval stamp."

"Wait, just a moment!" Taeyong tries circling the officer.

"Kid, I'm telling you, you cannot." The voice says sternly.

Taeyong looks at Hobak plug her ears with earphones, "No!" He yells.

"Hobak!" He yells again, and the officer called for backup.

"Stop now, kid." The officer said.

Taeyong pushes through and runs towards her.

"Hobak! Please! Wait!" Taeyong yells, and
Hobak dropped her phone.

"Are you deaf? Hobak! Please!" Taeyong gets pulled by two stronger men.

"Please!"

"Hobak! I love you!"

"Jeon Hobak! I'll wait for you! In Seoul!"

"I promise!" They covered his mouth.

"You're being very disrespectful." The officer mutters.

They take Taeyong to the nearest police station and asked him to call his parents.

"I didn't do anything wrong." He whispers. Taeyong's parents walked in the station with worried expressions.

"Taeyong! Are you okay?" His mother asks.

"I'm fine, just take me home." He said with a monotonous tone.

"That's not the way to speak to your mother." The father says, and Taeyong gets up abruptly.

"Do I look like I care right now?" Taeyong gets pushed back to his seat by his dad.

"Apologize to everyone right now."

"I'm sorry." He says, "Sorry mom." and his mom just whimpers with tears spilling.

"He's probably going through puberty, what he did has no excuse, but please, take care of your son." The officer says.

"We'll make sure he doesn't come here again." The father reassures.
