"You deserve someone who actually loves you, hyung."
"What do you mean?" Jaehwan was beyond confused. They were just talking about Hwang Minhyun a minute ago and now, Sewoon says something that completely changes the atmosphere.
"There's no other meaning behind what I said," Sewoon replies.
"Are you saying that you don't love me anymore?" Surprisingly, Jaehwan was calm about this. "That's not what I meant." Sewoon inhales sharply before looking at Jaehwan.
"I meant that you're too precious to be loved by someone like me." Jaehwan fakes a smile. "You're much more precious than I am." He replies. Sewoon sighs deeply.
"You don't get it," Sewoon's voice was calm but, it was obvious that he is getting annoyed.
"Then, tell me Sewoon. What do I don't get?" Jaehwan spoke softly, caressing the other's larger hand. "You won't understand..." Sewoon pulls away from his hand from Jaehwan's loose grip.
"Then make me understand," Jaehwan puts his hand on Sewoon's chin to make the latter, that has been avoiding his gaze, look at him. "Now, is not the right time." Sewoon looks at him and smiles a little.
"When will be the right time, huh? Will it be when I'm hurting enough to leave you?" Jaehwan asks, Sewoon flinches a little. "Let's... Let's not talk about this." Sewoon sighs as he gets up, leaving Jaehwan alone in the living room of their shared apartment.
"I already know, Sewoon. You just didn't know,"

"Jaehwan?"
It was silent, the sobs stop.
"I know that it's you, Jaehwan." Minhyun hears a sigh before a voice replied to him. "Go away," Jaehwan's voice was quiet and muffled. Maybe because of the door that's in between them. "Jaehwan. what's wrong?" Minhyun asks, not caring if he was annoying the younger.
"Why do you even care?" Jaehwan asks a bit louder this time. "You're important to me," Minhyun replies. "Why? We aren't even friends. You don't know much about me, I don't know much about you either. So, why?" MInhyun sighs deeply.
"You don't understand,"
"I don't understand? Then make me, Why do people keep on telling me that I won't understand? Am I that stupid to you?" Jaehwan is now practically yelling. "No, Jaehwan. I don't think you're stupid. For me, you're one of the smartest, most beautiful human being I have ever met."
"You're just saying that," A tear escapes Jaehwan eyes. There was silence for a minute or so.
"Let me in, Jaehwan." Minhyun heard a sniffle and the door cracks open, revealing a puffy-eyed Jaehwan. His hair was a mess, maybe from ruffling it. His eyes were red and his nose was runny but, Minhyun couldn't care less. Even til now, He thinks that Jaehwan looks beautiful.
Instead of saying anything, Minhyun just engulfs Jaehwan in a warm embrace. A tight, warm embrace full of love.
"Yah! what are you doing?" Jaehwan tries to push Minhyun away. "Just... let me do this." Jaehwan continues to hit Minhyun, opposite to what just Minhyun said. "No, no! This is wrong!" He yells, shouts but, Minhyun didn't budge. He just hugged him tightly.
"I said, let me go!" Minhyun just sighs and caresses Jaehwan's hair. "Just cry, let it all out then. we can talk."
"No, I won't!"
"Just use me as you please, you can use me like a tissue. Shed your tears on me, cry on me and you can throw me later if you want. I care for you a lot Jaehwan." As Minhyun stops talking, Jaehwan's punches and slap also slows down.
"Why? Just why?"
"Just because,"
Then, It was silent again between them. Only Jaehwan's sobs and constant sniffles could be heard. Also the sound of both of their breaths.
It was peaceful, no yelling, no violence, just silent cries.
It was just the two of them hugging.
And Seonho watching with tears on his face, clenched fist, and a broken heart. A heart that has been broken into a million pieces.
