Quiet ¦ Hyungwonho

Chapter 18

Wonho's POV

What's more awkward than Minhyuk and Shownu in a room? Minhyuk and Kihyun in a room.

When Minhyuk ran away, Hyungwon and Jooheon decided to go after him. They took him home and comforted him as much as they could.

Meanwhile me and Changkyun stayed behind with Shownu and Kihyun.

"Why did you do that?" I asked Shownu, still not looking at Kihyun.

"He kissed me!" Shownu defended himself.

"But you kissed back!" said Kihyun.

That's when I looked at him. I was super mad at him.
"You. You knew about the surprise. You told me to text you, you saw the message. Yet you did that. I can only think that you did it on purpose" I said and he left to the bathroom, Changkyun talked with Shownu as I went after him.

I found him crying.
"I'm sorry, okay? I didn't want to do that. I just came here to wish him happy birthday. But we were alone, and I really like Shownu and I know it was selfish to do something like this but we were just looking at each other and we were saying nothing and I panicked. I'm really sorry. I didn't want to do that to Minhyuk. You know how much you all mean to me. But I destroyed everything. What am I gonna do." he finished everything almost breathless.

"Okay just talk to Minhyuk and explain everything to him. He won't forgive you easily. But you know he will." I told him and hugged him.

When we returned home, we all gathered in the living room. And Kihyun explained everything, the same things he said to me. And when he finished awkwardness filled the air.

Minhyuk was mad, we could clearly understand that. But he also seemed to understand the situation Kihyun was in. We, on the other side, had left them alone, Kihyun, Minhyuk and Shownu.

Hyungwon came and asked me to talk.
"If you're gonna break up with me just say it" I told him quite scared in case he actually wanted to break up with me.

"But we're not in a relationship" he said.

"Wait. We're not a thing? I thought we were"  I am really confused.

"You're stupid. Why do I like you?"

"Because I'm handsome and amazing and-"

"Yeah sure. I just thought that we weren't together because well we never made it official, or we did and I can't remember or-"

"Will you be my boyfriend?" I asked at last and he stopped talking and blushed, then he looked at me in the eyes and said "no" i searched his face to see if he's joking or not but he was too serious.

"APRIL FOOLS" he then yelled.

"Hyungwon it's June" Why am I so head over hills about this dork?

"Is this really the point?" he then jumped on me. "The point is that we are now boyfriends which means I can tell you I love you and kiss you all the time." He said and kissed me. Will I ever get used to it? I don't think so.

We decided to take a walk because this home is full of awkwardness.

As we were walking I slipped my hand in his and intertwined our fingers. I felt my phone buzz in my pocket.

Unknown number: I see you are with that tall guy. You didn't learn from your childhood, did you?

Me: Who are you?

Unknown number: You know me too well. But I think you have forgotten about me.

I just left it on read. I looked around to see if anyone was following us but nothing happened. Hyungwon looked at me questionably and I showed him my phone. When I got it back I received another message.

Unknown number: Don't you think that what you just did was the wrong thing? You don't want that cute handsome boy to get in trouble.

I just left it on read again. Who is this guy anyway.

"Who is this guy?" Hyungwon asked me.

"Don't worry too much. Maybe he just has the wrong number or something" I reassured him.

We went to a cafe and while we were waiting for our coffees Hyungwon told me his side of our whole story. About Siju, about the company, about everything.

It's good to have an honest relationship. But maybe, just maybe I have to keep that unknown guy a secret until I realise who he is and what he wants from me.

While we were talking about everything and nothing, Hyungwon's expression changed. He got extremely sad.

"Tomorrow is.. Well, was.. My brother's birthday. As well as the day he died 11 years ago." he told me and looked down at his hands. "So I thought about going to his grave with some flowers in the morning"

"Tomorrow we are going together to buy some flowers and then to his grave. I'm not letting you go there alone." I told him. I know it sucks going to a grave alone. I know from my mom.

"Thank you so much. My brother died on an accident. Car accident. He was teaching me how to drive. And he told me that I'm so good that I should get on the road. And I did... I was going okay. Everything was going okay. We were waiting on a traffic light and I passed when it was green for me. But someone crossed the other road with red. And he hit the side of my brother. I was at the hospital for 2 weeks with a broken leg, a broken arm and a broken limp. And after about 4 days of constant questioning where my brother is, they told me that he died. He died and I was the reason why. I spend hours in psychologists trying to get the guilt off me. This is what I meant when I said that my childhood after that was not perfect." I listened through all of this concentrated.

Maybe that's why Hyungwon is so caring towards all of us even if he isn't the oldest one. He misses the love from his brother.

We all kept too quiet all this time. And keeping all of these inside hurt us and the ones around us.

This turned angst somehow. And the way I have thought the plot, it is even more angst. I wanted it to be a simple story but.. I guess not.
