Mingyu's POV
"WONWOO HYUNG! I KNOW YOU'RE THERE! WONWOO! JEON WONWOO!" I keep shouting infront of Wonwoo's house. I know he is here because I didn't find him at his favorite places so I know this is his last choice. "Mr. Kim, please stop shouting. Sir Ryujin is already asleep." The guard told me. "NO! I KNOW WONWOO IS INSIDE! PLEASE LET ME IN! WE NEED TO TALK!" The guard keeps holding me but I can keep up with their strength. "Let him go." FINALLY! "Wonwoo! I need to talk to you. Please." The guards finally let go of me. And Wonwoo came out of their house only to give me a cold stare. His signature scary cold stare. "I thought you want me out Mingyu? We have nothing to talk about." I came close to him. "That's why I'm here. I wanted to take back all I've said earlier. I don't know what came to me and talk to you like that. But I swear to god I didn't mean it.. I don't." He keeps staring at me until he pulled me inside of their house. When he finally let go I followed him and we went to their garden. It is so quiet. "Wonwoo--" He cut what I was about to say by hugging me.
"Wonwoo? Is there something wrong?" He did not speak but I can hear soft sobs. I wrapped my arms around him tightly. "Wonwoo. Is there something bothering you? Please. Stop hiding it. I don't want to see you like this." Looking at his beautiful yet devastated face makes me want to hold him longer in my arms so I did. "Mingyu, I'm sorry if I am being a burden to you and to the members. I really don't want to leave but I need to." I can't take his crying voice. "You don't have to Wonwoo. What is it that is making you leave?" I know Jeonghan hyung told me not to ask him but I need to know. How can I help him if I don't know anything. He did not answer so I did not ask him again. But then he finally spoke. "Dad needs me. He is sick but he is not telling me. I want him to rest and I would take over our company. That's why I decided to leave. I meed to sacrifice something for my father sake. I love him so much and he is the only family I have so I don't want to loose him too." Mr. Jeon is sick? Now I know why Wonwoo is so decided to leave. "Does your father know that you know about him being sick?" Wonwoo shaked his head. "No, he don't have to know that I know." That is so Wonwoo. "What if your dad finds out that you knew and you left Seventeen because of him. Do you think he will be happy?"
"I know he will not be happy but he will never know." Now I know what is his reason and I know I can never stop him if it involves his family. So I have to do it. "If you are already decided to leave I just want you to know something." He gave me a confused look. This is it Mingyu. "I wanted to say sorry about what I have done to you earlier. I think anger ate me up. And I am so stupid for bursting it all out in you. I'm so sorry." He keeps on staring at me and it is making me even more nervous. "Ehem." I am having a panic mode inside of me when someone suddenly fake coughed on us. "M-mr. Jeon! Good evening! I'm so sorry for disturbing your sleep!" Wonwoo looks shocked when he saw his dad. "D-dad. I-I thought you're already asleep? Didn't I told you to go back to sleep? Why are you here?!" Wonwoo keeps spittimg out his words. He is nervous. "Well, I'm sorry to disturb the two of you. I just heard your conversation while I was passing by." Wonwoo's eyes widened. Did his dad heard us? Oh my. "Y-you heard us?" Mr. Jeon nodded. "Yes Wonwoo. I did." Wonwoo lowered his head. "I'm sorry dad." I was about to leave the two of them so they can talk but Mr. Jeon called me. "Mingyu. Stay." I felt very awkward. "Wonwoo. Look at me." Wonwoo looked at his dad. "Son, You don't have to worry about your old man ok? Mingyu is right. I will never be happy if I knew that you gave up something you love just for my sake. I want you to be happy and forget about worrying. Son you worry to much."
Wonwoo tried to speak again. "But dad! You need to rest! I don't want to loose you like Bohyuk! What if you suddenly left?! You think I will be happy!? You think I can take it!? No Dad!" This is the first time I saw Wonwoo struggling and shouting like that. What is happening? "WONWOO CALM DOWN!" Mr. Jeon shouted at Wonwoo who is bursting in anger. "NO! I WON'T! I WILL STAY HERE AND YOU WILL GO TO YOUR DOCTOR DAD! YOU WILL NOT DIE!! NOT AGAIN!" Not again? Wonwoo is loosing his control so his father asked me to hold him. "Mingyu! Please hold Wonwoo for me." I tried to hold Wonwoo as tight as I can when his dad suddenly slapped Wonwoo and it shocked me. "Mr. Jeon." That is all I can say. "Wonwoo. Calm down." And just like a child Wonwoo hyung stayed silent. "Please bring him to his room Mingyu." I followed Mr. Jeon's order because I got scared of him after he slapped Wonwoo right infront of me. I sat Wonwoo on his bed and he is still quiet. "Wonwoo. Did you stop taking your medications? Answer me." Mr. Jeon asked Wonwoo. But he did not answer. And what medications? Is Wonwoo sick? "Silence means yes Wonwoo.. You know that it is important for you to take your medications so why did you stop? Look what is happening to you. You're panic attacks and anxiety are coming back." Panic attacks and Anxiety?! My eyes widened from what I heard. "I'm sorry dad. I thought I was already fine. But then I heard about your health. I suddenly panic and.." Wonwoo finally spoke. "And you made a decision on your own again? Wonwoo, stop it. It will never happen again ok? Stop dwelling in the past, do not worry about the future and just focus living fully in the present. I am taking care of myself so please do the same to yourself Wonwoo." Mr. Jeon is about to leave when he signalled me to follow him.
"Mingyu, I'm so sorry if you have to see that. I don't want to to hurt Wonwoo but I have too. If I did not stop him he will breakdown again. Please take care of him since you are always around him. My son is fragile and I don't want him to break. I know you're confused right now and yes. I will explain eveything to you. But for now give Wonwoo his medicine and let him rest. After that go downstairs at the kitchen ok?" I just nodded and followed what Mr. Jeon told me to do. I entered Wonwoo's room with his medicined in my hand and a glass of water. "Wonwoo? I brought your medicines. Your dad said you need to take them." I thought he will not take it but he did. But after that he lay down and covered his self with his comforter. "Please leave me first Mingyu." I left his water before I left and I went down to their kitchen to talk to Wonwoo's dad. "Is he already asleep?" I saw Mr. Jeon having a glass of pineapple for him self and a glass of warm milk for me so I thanked him. "He ask me to leave him first so I did. I think he needs time for him self." Mr. Jeon nodded. "Now, let me explain to you what happened why Wonwoo have panic attacks and anxiety." I sat down because this is going to be a long story. And I am very much interested to know as long as I can help Wonwoo.
