[CHAPTER 12]

" I Miss You "

Both Wonshik and Jaehwan have decided to return back to Moirae's Edge after witnessing Hongbin's breakdown. They really didn't think that their friend was having such a hard time with his feelings and the struggles he was having. Neither of them have seen this side to Hongbin before and despite the latter trying to be rational about his feelings as well as what is right or wrong, Hongbin was having a difficult time controlling his feelings for Cha Hakyeon.

The two of them went out of the library as they decided to take a break from reading too deeply into Hakyeon's fate. They knew how much Hakyeon have fallen for Hongbin and they even predicted the fact that Hongbin was feeling the same for Hakyeon. It wasn't just curiosity that Hongbin had for Cha Hakyeon but he actually fell in love with the protagonist of an unpredictable story.

All of this was not within what Wonshik or Jaehwan was expecting. The two of them thought that Hongbin was just curious since he was never interested in anything before until he came into the facility. But after coming upon Hakyeon's story, Hongbin has changed.

Or maybe, Hongbin never changed and this was who he is all along except he needed someone to trigger the curiosities and feelings within him?

Both of his friends were stumped.

"What should we do?" Jaehwan asked Wonshik as they walked back to their own departments.

"I... I don't know anymore," Wonshik furrowed his brows as he was stressing on a solution.

"I've just never seen him that way before. He broke down right in front of us! I was shocked..."

"I was too. I didn't expect him to have fallen so deeply for Cha Hakyeon."

"Is it my fault for letting him enter the story after all? Maybe I shouldn't have... if I didn't, none of this would have happened."

"Hyung, you did what you thought was right. You only care about Hongbin and wanted to give him the best. It's just, things turned out the way we least expected it."

The two of them sighed together.

"For the time being, I think we should just make sure we keep an eye on him in case he does slip up. We have to make sure no one knows about this aside from me and you, okay?" Wonshik said.

"Yeah. I agree."

"Anyways, I'll see you tomorrow. You go and get some rest hyung, your worries are showing," Wonshik patted the older on the back and headed inside his department.

Jaehwan couldn't stop worrying. It was difficult not to worry about Hongbin after all.

He's watched both Hongbin and Wonshik grow up. He saw Hongbin hide himself since they were kids and Jaehwan wanted nothing more than for Hongbin to discover that there was life outside of his home.

Jaehwan have always believed that Hongbin could do so much more if only he tried, if only he had the ambition like Wonshik but he just never cared for it. At least, not until he came upon Hakyeon's story.

Jaehwan have been studying and working within Moirae's Edge since he was in middle school. A child who have always looked upon the three Goddesses of Fate as well as reading the stories of those residing on Earth.

He was interested in the mysteries behind every story and the purpose of those stories. He studied for years and worked his way up to where he is now. But at the same time, he knew well that there were still many questions about fate that the facility have yet to find an answer to. When Hongbin was caught to have encountered a mysterious fate, Jaehwan's curiosity also peaked. He's never seen or read a story that was undetermined by the Goddesses and for his own selfish reasons, Jaehwan also wanted to know why Hakyeon's story became the way it was.
