Breathless || 2Jae ✩

Part 4: Move on

Youngjae was dead on the inside

He stayed in their old dorm like home for 2 weeks, not daring to go back to his house in fear that he would see Jaebum again and break down in front of him. 

During those 2 weeks, Jaebum never even bothered to contact him. He never cared to do so.

He hated his life. 

After that incident he barely ate. He barely left his room, only leaving to go to the bathroom to do his business. But other than that, he never left the house.

His 5 other friends were concerned fo him, Mark especially. They saw how Youngjae would torture himself by keeping the belongings of Jaebum. They tried to get him out of the house several times, even attempted on tricking him, but none worked. Youngjae stayed put in his bed, covered in his thick blanket while he continued to cry his eyes out.

It was at some point that Mark couldn't handle seeing his best friend like this, so he decided to confront the younger once and for all.

" Youngjae " He said as he entered his room, not even bothering to knock. 

The younger just grunted in response, not moving an inch.

" Youngjae-ah, you can't be like this forever. You have to come out of the house once in a while. This isn't healthy for you. " Mark said, sitting on the edge of the bed as his eyes stayed focused on the big lump on the bed.

" Leave me alone hyung. I don't want to go out " Youngjae said through his blanket, making his voice muffled.

" But you have to. I know what happened 2 weeks ago made you very down, but you can't suffer like this. Forget him Youngjae, move on. " 

There was complete silence after. Youngjae kept silent as he processed Marks words.

Mark sighed as he got no response. He laid himself down beside the younger as he wrapped his arm around the others waist. 

" Please Youngjae.. I don't like to see you be like this. It hurts to see my best friend suffering like this. Come on Jaejae.. For me " Mark whispered into his ear, his head laying on the youngers shoulder. 

Youngjae thought about it. He too wanted to go out and breathe the fresh air once more, but his fear in seeing his husband made him stay put. He bit his bottom lip as he chooses internally.

" ... ok hyung.. " 

Mark smiled at his response and pulled Youngjae closer to him. " Thank you Youngjae - ah " Mark said softly as his breath tickled the other's neck making him giggle softly.

.... 

I hope you're as happy as I am right now...
