Secrets and Lies

Zuho's POV:

I'm sitting on the couch, reading a book and waiting for Jaeyoon. I glance up and see that Chani fell asleep on the couch and he's surrounded by Math books. Poor kid, it must be so stressful going through this studying and being in a group like this. I walk over and close his books, staking them up on the coffee table. 

I pick up Chani and he automatically curls into my chest, his hands grabbing onto my shirt. I look down at the young boy and smile. He's so cute and small.

I go upstairs and turn into the first room on the right, Inseong and Chani's room. I gently lay the sleeping boy down in his bed and tuck the blankets in around him. His arms go around the small pink teddy bear he got when he was 6.

I can't help but smile again. He's adorable. I push his hair back from his face and give him a little kiss on the forehead.

I'm almost all the way out the door when I hear Inseong say, "Is Jaeyoon ever coming back?"

I turn around, "Of course he's coming back." I sit on his bed and hug him, "It'll just take some time. He'll be back to himself soon enough." I promise him..

"I hope." Inseong murmurs.

"I'm watching for him, so don't worry."

"Okay." Inseong replies, lying back down and closing his eyes.

I leave now, go back to the living room and sit on the couch. I wait a whole hour and finally -finally- Jaeyoon walks in through the door. He looks like shit, but he's alive.

"Welcome back." I say.

Jaeyoon's head snaps up, "Oh, you're still awake."

"Yeah, waiting for you. Y'know, everyone's worried about you. Taeyang's been distracted all day, Inseong only just went to sleep, Youngbin, Hwiyoung and Chani were even up for calling the police. Rowoon texted you a million times, but you never answered. Where the hell were you, Jaeyoon?"

"It doesn't matter, I'm back now."

"You're not supposed to pull a 'Where's Waldo?' on us. We all wanted to know where you went."

"Nowhere." He says impatiently.

"I've never seen anyone so worried before. Inseong even cried at one point. Taeyang was all over the place."

"I don't care right now, okay?"

"Are you hungover?" 

He sighs, "Zuho-" 

"Answer my question! Are you hungover?"

"Yes! Okay? Happy? I'm hungover!"

"Why?"

"Why the hell do you think? I got drunk!"

"What's wrong with you today?"

"Nothing?" He turns an runs upstairs. I hear the bathroom door shut and the shower start. I shake my head in disbelief and go to bed.

Taeyangs POV:

Jaeyoon walks into the room with a towel around his waist and wet hair. He starts getting dressed.

I stare at the ceiling. "Thanks for scaring everyone." I let my sarcasm run thick.

He groans, "Not you too."

"Yeah, me too. What's wrong Jaeyoon? You know that you can talk to me. Or Zuho. Or Youngbin. Any of us. We're all open to talk to. You're not alone."

"Nice speech, but I'm not talking. You can beg all you like, I'm still not going to talk."

I sigh, "Really?" 

He nods, "Really."

Inseong's POV:

I wake up the next morning and dress in my black skinny jeans, purple t-shirt, and black jacket. I remember that Jaeyoon picked this shirt for me and I sigh.

At least he's back now. Zuho texted me at two am last night and told me.

I comb through my hair quickly and go to wake Chani up.

I shake his shoulder, "Chani, c'mon wake up. You have an exam and an interview today."

"Five more minutes." He groans.

"Jaeyoon's back." I say.

He sits up, "Really?"

"Yes. He came back two last night."

"Finally. I was getting so worried." He sighs in relief.

I nod, "Yeah, me too."

We go downstairs and have breakfast. Jaeyoon looks tired and cringes at loud noises, but he seems fine. I have to continuously remind myself not to run over and hug him, which proves to be very difficult.  

We finish eating and Youngbin takes Chani to his exam. I keep looking over at Jaeyoon, whoo appears to be ignoring everyone except Chani, who'svalready stressed out enough.

"We have an interview in two hours. You might want to go get ready." Hwiyoung says.

Jaeyoon sighs, "Fine."

"Were you planning on not going?" Dawon asks.

He shrugs, "I don't know. Maybe."

"You can't just not go. What the hell would we say? Even Chani can go, and he has finals." Youngbin says.

"Well actually-" He begins.

"You're going." Zuho says so sharply that even I jump.

"Okay." Jaeyoon sighs and goes upstairs.

"I'm really worried about him." Taeyang says.

"We all are." Rowoon sighs.
